Successfully upgraded AVL Buster to Bookworm, (11 to 12)

I successfully used the standard Debian process to upgrade and almost everything made it. I have not done a complete check but the modifications I care about are all still here. There are some prerequisites.
1. Install and run the "usrmerge" before upgrading. This is mandatory, recovery from not doing it first is possible but incredibly difficult.
2. Be aware of any customization's to anything, you probably should save them somewhere else, almost every program will be upgraded. Some don't, so far everything still works that I have tried. All the GUI customization's survived. The Liquorix kernels survived.
3. Pipewire did not work after completion, key things were not installed automatically. Working from bad memory, I think that Pipewire-media-session or pipewire-audio-client-libraries were the key missing culprits. I also installed almost everything else, pipewire-media-session-jack, pipewire-media-session-pulseaudio, pipewire-jack, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse. Works fine now.
I followed the directions in this site.

Glad it worked for you. Having enough technical skill is one of the key reasons it did, and I hope it continues to be good.

There's a Debian package called
pipewire-audio which is designed to set up all needed Pipewire packages and removes PulseAudio. Makes the transition really simple.
It doesn't include pipewire-jack but you don't need that unless you are using applications that require JACK.
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/pipewire-audio
There's also a newer version in Backports but it installs PW v.1.2.1 which has issues when exporting using JACK. Wait until it's updated to the fixed PW 1.2.2. Not an issue unless you use JACK.

Thank you, I had found that already and it did solve all the Pipewire issues. Jack is installed also and works just fine.

'pipewire-setup-mx' sets it up also with everything needed including pipewire-jack, it installs PipeWire 1.0.0 but 1.2.2 is already in MX-Test thanks to
@Stevo so it can be upgraded later..

On a related note, the linked video shows how to update Debian to Debian Bookworm. For updating MX, presumably one would need to change the MX repositories to MX-23 as well.

I think this command from the tutorial should edit both
Code: Select all
find /etc/apt -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | xargs -0 sudo sed -i.bak "s/bullseye/bookworm/g"

Yes you are right. I suspect it will however add duplicate entries for
main (and
contrib non-free if you already have them) when running this command:
Code: Select all
# add optional non-free repos
echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list

I think it did duplicate them with the command I posted. Now I get this:
Code: Select all

People I got this problem after upgrading:
Code: Select all
Error: The repository 'http://mirror.units.it/mxlinux/mx/repo bookworm InRelease' is not signed.
Any hints?
