"Updated" Senpai Respin MX-Cinnamon 23.6 for x32 and x64-AHS-LMK, with Cinnamon 6.4.8 of Mint LMDE

[Senpai]

Hi:
I am pleased to present my new MX-Cinnamon Respin 23.5 as Desktop environment in its 32 and 64bit versions with the MX/Debian 6.1.0-30 Kernel, adding some programs to complete all possible uses.

The Respin has the Cinnamon 6.4.6 of Mint LMDE, has the MX AHS and Mint LMDE repositories enabled to have the latest packages, does not have the Mint Software store, as that would install packages that would take away the charm of MX...
Instead it has "MX-Package Installer" with the "Popular Applications" option, the official and test repositories and a Flatpaks program installer.

All MX-Tools work very well, except for the Tour , in MX-Tweak only the "others" tab is displayed.

As in all MX respin, the default user and password are: "**demo**" / "**demo**".

My download site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/senpai ... -cinnamon/

"NEW"
Added to Live a Multi Kernel (LMK) boot in the 64bits version, in my blog there is a tutorial on how to choose between the two kernels...

Thanks.

I have downloaded and installed
On my first attempt I created a standard install usb
Installation went fine till it reached 93% , then it sat there for over 20 minutes
Looking at the diagram at the right ....it was busy ! ( doing what ? )
I stopped it
On my second attempt I created a Live-usb and installed from there
Again, it went up to 93% , then I waited 15 minutes and then stopped it
At 93% , configuration settings, it usually take a few minutes, regardless of DE.
But not 20 minutes

Sorry, I will try again tomorrow !
It looks promising

I decided to change ( temporary replace ) my hard drive with a " blank " one .
Your iso installed perfectly and flawlessly !
I rebooted 4 times ....no problems
So,,,there might be a " configuration issue "
No idea what, where, why, who , but.... I will try again on regular HD

[Tony45]

OK
I have defined that "most-probably",the problem is in 'my' bios ( slightly overloaded with unnecessary crap ).
So, for 99,9% of downloaders there should - not - be a problem . OK?
Sorry for the previous posts
I give permission to the forum moderators to remove all . No problem !

Hi:
I'm glad it worked for you in the end , it is possible that you have the UEFI overloaded, a few days ago I also had to clean it because I still had systems that I no longer have installed on my disk....
Use the "efibootmgr" command for a simple view of the systems you have in UEFI, and delete the ones that are not already there.... "efibootmgr -h" for the necessary commands, and "efibootmgr -v" for a more complete view...
If you are ok with Respin let me know, I don't usually use Cinnamon for daily use.

Best regards

Thanks for the tips, as " that " is actually my problem.
I will keep you informed if anything weird happens
Thanks

Hi:
Now that the new Cinnamon seems more stable, I have updated my MX-Cinnamon respin to its latest version 6.2.9, I have created and uploaded the new ISOs with the latest updates as of today, if someone has it installed there is no need to reinstall, just update with MX-Updater or with the apt commands

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt full-upgrade

The download site:

Best regards

I have downloaded and did a fresh install
As far as I can see, everything is OK
exception 1 : I ran into the << stop at 93% issue>> again. Fixed it.
Note: this is not specific to your release, but to the MX installer in general.
From the 100 installs I have done, only MX does this
Yesterday I installed Sleeper OS Trinity and Cinnamon. Both are antix based and use the MX installer. No problems on my desktop nor my laptop with <93% and stop here please>
So not your fault
Exception 2 : as with <most> Pipewire-installed distros, I get a terrible crackling sound when playing Midi files with Timidity and Pianobooster ! Or with other words, by using Pulseaudio there are Zero crackles, by using pipewire there are a million crackels.
How to fix this......I don't have a clue
If you know how to change Pipes-to-Pulses , please give me instructions
I ran CinnaMX ( version 1 ) from DaGarma ( pulseaudio ) and it was clean

Apart from those 2 things it's an excellent Respin
Thanks a lot !

[Tony45]

Hi
I was able to remove pipewire and install pulseaudio .
Each and every crackle in midi files is gone
The sound is cristal clear - no distortions.
Thanks a lot
I will enjoy
