Thank you friends!! I will add the repositories.sunrat wrote: Sat Oct 12, 2019 10:55 pm Should be fine. falktx the developer of KX had an extended break this year but I hear he's back on board now.
I used KX repos for my MXStudio respin and found no issues so far and AVLinux uses them too.

This goes for adding repositories as well. To request new or updated software packages be added to the MX Repositories, please read these instructions. then post your request here. Meanwhile I strongly suggest that you remove the repository you added before the MX Update tool pulls in who knows what from it and breaks your MX installation.Can I use Ubuntu PPAs?
Ubuntu is not Debian, so installing PPAs will likely cause problems. See this for more details: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/add-ppa-repository
Solution: Go to the request forum for your MX version, under Community Repository (CR), and ask our Packaging Devs if the PPA can be be ported or updated for our own repository
Following this advice to continue installing things you find on the internet and/or download .deb files and install them WILL break your system sooner or later. I've seen it before. Let the MX Packagers package the app or apps that you want for MX then install it from the MX repos with MX Package Installer.darknetmatrix wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2019 4:45 am Libc6 is in synaptic or you can download the .deb from here: https://pkgs.org/download/libc6
What asqwerth said. If their repos are for the current stable version of Debian, which is Buster, they won't be compatible with MX 18.3, which is based on Debian oldstable, Stretch. If they add dependencies to try to make their apps work those are going to break MX 18. Let the MX packaging team do the "heavy lifting" and see if they can make the app or apps that are wanted work using the Stretch libraries and whatnot, or verify that the KX Studio repos are safe for MX. Either that or wait until MX-19, which is based on Buster, to be released later this year.darknetmatrix wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2019 4:55 am @JayM: do you really think that https://kx.studio/Repositories is not to be trusted?

Friends, to many doubts now...

The KXStudio repositories support all Debian versions since 10 (Buster) and Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) or above.
They should work on all Debian-based distributions and variants.
Yes indeed. The older repos are still there but as implied in the quote in my previous post, are not supported.Stevo wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2019 7:28 pmOf course, the KX repos should also be compatible with MX 19 now.
In that case I'm gonna wait for MX19. Or better, for your MXStudio :)sunrat wrote: Mon Oct 14, 2019 6:15 am You could add the unsupported repos, or just pick and download packages you want and install with gdebi or apt.
Or do what I do and have a separate partition with AVLinux which still has the old KX repos activated by default but I guess you won't get updates for packages from there now.
I plan to do a fresh MXStudio respin once MX19 is released and after a suitable period for any release bugs to be squashed. Most of its dedicated audio production packages come from KX and the KX repos are active by default. The testing is extensive on the MX19 beta versions currently so I expect it will be relatively bug-free on release.
So it looks like all the information you are asking for is right herephaslem wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2020 12:53 pm I'm still struggling to learn to work in a terminal; so I'm hoping that someone can give me some clear instructions on a) where to find the repositories and b) how to add and install them.
Hope that answers the majority of the things you need, if not someone with KXStudio experience hopefully sees this thread creep back up to the top soon.Once you have the repos installed, you can either manually install individual packages from them or add the meta-packages to automatically install large sets of recommended packages.
See the Meta-Packages page for more details.
In either case, we always recommend to install the kxstudio-default-settings package after enabling the repositories.
