Everything works perfectly with the new kernel:

We didn't plan on going with anything than the 12.2 Buster version, as far as I know.

Are there any problems with that version? You can always ask for 13.0 in the test repo, too.

#474 Post by Stevo »

I'm not sure if we have an MX 19 Nvidia driver that will build on a 5.2 kernel, though the builds work for the 5.2 Liquorix kernel on MX 18. Maybe it was something I missed in the upgrade. I installed 64-bit onto the Acer Optimus laptop and successfully used the Nvidia installer to get Bumblebee working on the 4.19 kernel. So I then searched for "nvidia" in the test repo in MXPI and upgraded all that showed up, then installed the latest Liquorix kernel and headers. However, the new nvidia-kernel-dkms built on the 4.19 kernel but not the Liquorix kernel, leading to an install failure.

Re: MX-19 Beta 2.1 Feedback--hibernation

#475 Post by Stevo »

Hibernation did not work immediately after enabling it in MX 19, or after a reboot, but it now works after a rather involved procedure--maybe someone can report success without all the following?

Enabled hibernation in MX Tweak. 8 GB swap partition matches system RAM. Tested then and after a reboot, did not work.
Ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp" and accepted all the defaults. Tested then and after a reboot, did not work.
Installed 5.2-14.2 Liquorix kernel and booted to it. Hibernation now works.
Removed Liquorix kernel and rebooted to 4.19.0-6 kernel. Hibernation still working. Am mystified why it now works.

hey guys,

i don't know if it's a repetitive question but:
i was wondering if is possible to give users more freedom on choosing the os partitions when installing through mx-installer. now only root,home,swap and boot can be defined by the user. that would be great (imo) if other directories could be assigned a mount point too when doing a fresh install.(just like the good old Debian installer)

Another user mentioned problems with keyboard control of brightness. My Thinkpad T530 doesn't dim or brighten in response to Fn+F8/F9. They work fine in MX18. Maybe it's Xfce 4.14?
In 19b2, I do get a (pseudo)brightness indicator bar at the upper right, as I would if the keystrokes were working.
The other poster mentioned a boot parameter acpi_backlight=vendor; I haven't tried that yet. did not solve this problem. The boot parameter acpi_backlight=vendor did not solve this problem.
Other than this, 19b2 looks and feels great. Just a smidge too bright.

Re: MX-19 Beta 2.1 Feedback

#480 Post by seanmc »

I just rebooted and the acpi_backlight=vendor parameter didn't fix the problem, either. I don't know if that indicates Nvidia is or isn't the problem here. Actually, Dolphin Oracle, you have helped me on these forums before with a graphics problem (thanks again for that). That last time you recommended that I try the Intel driver instead of the default modsetting driver; I will try that again. Maybe it will help the other visual glitch I have with 19b2 and b1:
The "unmount" icon in the notification is duplicated, and one of them sort of sits under the update icon. I didn't search for this one, so I don't know if it's been reported yet.

Update: MX Tweak/Config Options/Use Intel Driver solved the brightness adjustment problem, but not the wonky notification icons. The choice of icon set under Appearance doesn't seem to matter, either.
