Support for MX and antiX Linux distros

I do not know - I managed to brick my Experimental vm somehow. Started with all kinds of dependency problems, now there's no network. I'm trashing this one and starting over.MAYBL8 wrote: Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:23 am Thought I would try the experimental. I have never used it before.
What do I need to do to install plasma from there?
Agreed, this attempt with Experimental has not been fun so far. Feel free to use this thread for your writeup if you like, I'm sure Dan and I would be glad to learn from your experiences.frmald wrote: Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:48 am Not a direct reply, but prepare for pain; I'm writing up my own writeup
Does this write up take you from a standard MX install to experimental?frmald wrote: Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:48 am Not a direct reply, but prepare for pain; I'm writing up my own writeup

This is strange. It looks to me like your system is not looking to Experimental for dependencies. Could be that there's more to the command than just "apt -t experimental install plasma-desktop". There must be an option for telling apt to look for dependencies from Experimental that I'm missing.MAYBL8 wrote: Mon Dec 14, 2020 11:28 am So I tried this and this is what I am getting.

I thought it was loaded into experimental so it should be able to be tested.Code: Select all

You are mixing Experimental with Debian buster-updates. Experimental requires Sid repos in order fulfill dependencies. And Experimental can't be the main repo - that has to be Sid. Experimental is just an add-on repo to Sid.MAYBL8 wrote: Mon Dec 14, 2020 12:01 pm I'm sure this is wrong but all I did was change the debian.list to experimental:Code: Select all
