Packages needed for iPhone USB Tethering to work under MX 23.3

From the archwiki I have gathered that in order to establish a wired connection with an iPhone via USB Tethering, two packages [libimobiledevice and usbmuxd] from the repo are required.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPhone_tethering

Both packages among others are installed, but the ...

Re: Downgrading SDDM-modified-init

Thanks dolphin_oracle ..
I've just come to the conclusion that it was in fact the kernel update to 6.1.0-18-amd64 that "aggravated" my SDDM. I actually thought it was the package 'sddm-modified-init' that happened to ship together with kernel version 6.1.0.-18 on the same day (at least for me ...

Downgrading SDDM-modified-init

Hello MX fellas,
quick question: is it possible to downgrade sddm-modified-init:amd64 from 24.02.01 back to 23.10.01?
It should be doable, right? If so how would I go about it to revert back to an earlier version?

Re: System booting to CLI or black screen after update

Did you manage to resolve your freezing issues? Mine just made a comeback, *sigh*
Anyway, I am going all in for an MX Update to hopefully fix that...In the meantime, just can log out. Shutting down pretty much works for my needs.

Re: System booting to CLI or black screen after update

Yessir, I eventually did it, i hope it is benefecial to you as well.

In these cases normally there are two options, either rollback the SDDM-init Package that was updated or ged rid of particular configuration files so that KDE re-generates them and overwrites irregularities while re-building the ...

Re: System booting to CLI or black screen after update

louhy You are actually using SDDM, not LightDM

I have a similiar issue occuring after the last kernel update, which also broke my otherwise flawlessly working SDDM configuration. I hope you don't mind if I piggyback off your thread since this might be related.
My symptoms: The system freezes when ...

Re: Fed up with non-rolling releases...

Why cant you just localise all your critical dotfiles, save and restore them after re-installation? I mean you can pretty much retain most of your personal customization by preserving your home folder during re-installation..On KDE this works pretty well and there is also the new user-installed ...

Re: nach Re-Installation wird die home und swap Partition nicht korrekt eingebunden [Solved]

Gute Neuigkeiten, ich hab es tatsächlich hinbekommen crypttab und fstab richtig miteinander zu verknüpfen, nachdem ich mich durch verschiedene Guides und Manpages durchgewühlt habe. Jetzt habe ich leider nur das Problem, dass ich 3x die Passphrase eingeben muss beim Start. Das ließ sich dann auch ...
