MX Linux Forum

I was hoping, due to a decent amount of users moving from some of the popular picks because of some of their internal changes, I could raise this topic - if a SysVinit version of the VPN app is possible. I understand we already have a couple of good picks, nicely provided by MX devs (thank you ...

I believe it would be fair to post a solution and mark this as solved. Similar to what was suggested on the previous page, I found a decent working solution using bash:



#Navigate to the folder where mounting points are (media/user)
cd /media/username
sudo mkdir <directory_name>
blkid -> check ...

I got curious about the nics failing and this appears to be a known problem with that motherboard. See these two Reddit threads:

This to me looks like it is either:
1) linux firmware or
2) VPN is twisted up after the 6.4 kernel.

Btw, can't find that kernel both of you mentioned in MXPI.
The Liquorix 6.4.xxx kernel can be found under the Enabled Repos tab of MXPI. You will need to install the kernel and the corresponding kernel headers..

In all of this have you tested the Ethernet ports of your ...

Yes, if you want to keep the home dir and most of the installed apps (meaning apps that are working on MX23), you can do that. Read the migration options. I tried the clean install but kept the home and preserve the home directory and most of the apps. It was a good learning experience for me ...

To be honest it's such a hassle to install everything again, I have configs, vpn setup, grub is stable now etc., it would mean so much time wasted and I'm not sure I want to go forward with that. It's a bit of a shame if that's the only way to fix it.

Could you clarify a bit (for a noob) what you ...

Ok so surprisingly reinstalling the kernel and booting it again didn't fix the issue at all. The problem persists, there is no internet connection regardless which adapter I switch to. Vpn outputs the same error also, something along being unable to block the outgoing connections.

I saved the QSI ...

I wonder if the running out of disk space which happened while installing the 6.4 kernel caused some of the kernel files to be truncated or missing.
I would try purging the 6.4 kernel then reinstalling it.


This would be a very reasonable explanation. I understand this might sound silly, but ...

Seems like it might be an issue with the newer firmware-iwlwifi we have in AHS.

Hmmm..could you try the one in backports? Click on the "all" link to download from a mirror near you. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye-backports/firmware-iwlwifi

Hmmm...the one in Sid (its deb is safe to install ...
