Roll back from Wine-Staging in MX-Test to Main

[AVLinux]

Hi,

I know my share of APT/DPKG tricks but it isn't very often I want to roll back a Package, I used to get Wine from WineHQ's Debian Repos but since joining up with MX I try and stay with the MX Repos.. With WineHQ I could feed the exact version I wanted to install on the command line because they kept archives of previous releases but I'm guessing MX doesn't do that so what is the safest recommended way to backtrack from an MX-Test Package to an MX-Main Package without completely uninstalling Wine-Staging.

I would try installing the specific version in Main.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-staging=8.12-1mx23+1 wine-staging-amd64=8.12-1mx23+1 wine-staging-1386:i386=8.12-1mx23+1 winehq-staging=8.12-1mx23+1

Unfortunately apt doesn't allow different versions of a package in the same repo so we can't keep older versions in the repo - but if there's a specific one you need I do have archives and can put it up where you can download it.

Thanks very much!

The computer in question is in a different location so I will try that when I can get to it, I use Wine Staging primarily to run Windows Audio Plugins on Linux and some of them don't seem to like the latest Wine-Staging but it's always a roulette wheel at the best of times..

Hi,

Got a chance to do this and it downgraded smoothly. thanks!

A couple of notes: I had 'wine-staging-dev' installed, It's often simpler to uninstall dev packages when downgrading, you can always install them later after the downgrade is successful..

Not nitpicking but there was a typo in the original command it said " wine-staging-1386:i386" instead of "i386" just mentioning in case somebody else does the same thing, here is the fixed command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-staging=8.12-1mx23+1 wine-staging-amd64=8.12-1mx23+1 wine-staging-i386:i386=8.12-1mx23+1 winehq-staging=8.12-1mx23+1

I'm not sure if this is the correct area. If not sorry still learning forum divisions.
Currently having an issue I can't seem to track down. And am using secondary system to post
OS: MX-21.3_ahs_x64 Wildflower
Ker: Linux.6.5.0-4mx-ahs-amd64

system: ROG Strix G513QC

went to install wine, had errors about staging needed, resolved issue and got wine working
but in installing all needed components for wine, I lost the menu bars (whiskers, I think)
they were still there, but clicking did nothing
upon reboot DE and settings and apps are there, just no menu bar
also seem to have lost ability to connect wlan0
how do I connect to regain what was lost, or is a reload easier?
