MX Linux Forum

All,

Just curious as to when SDL3 will be in the repos. Build dependencies are listed here . In case saving mouse clicks makes it happen sooner.

============
Ubuntu 18.04, all available features enabled:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git make \
pkg-config cmake ninja-build gnome-desktop ...

Kinda looks like that's what this patch is doing for the 2.0.22-3 version of mosquitto in Debian testing (forky) & sid
https://sources.debian.org/src/mosquitto/2.0.22-3/debian/patches/3344.patch


That patch, by itself, does not fix the problem.

Service needs /run/mosquitto created before it ...

A suggestion is to perhaps have this as a package in MX Main repo until the one in Debian is fixed as it looks like a bug either in the initscript or in the preinst/postinst scripts that are run on package install.


I opened a topic in the Mosquitto forum.
https://forum.cedalo.com/t/debian ...

It's new to me and I'm trying to fix it. If someone can point me to where and who creates the package, I can fix this and submit to them a pull request. I've done a lot of packaging and this is a really stupid error.

The postinst configure step needs to

mkdir -p /run/mosquitto

and the postrm ...

Original post was January 2023. Today is August 31, 2025. This is __still__ happening. I banged into it. Is this one of those "we have to wait for whoever claims to be the maintainer in Debian to fix" or is the MX Linux team maintaining this package in their repos?

.............. because I run BOINC for my idle time, helping to cure cancer, HIV, and many other projects. ............


I personally think you are getting hoaxed by BOINC (and those 'projects') but if you want to...... just personal.


Ehh. Papers get published. Some medical device projects ...

Fresh MXLinux install would not charge the phone from either USB-2 or USB-3 ports. Front or rear did not matter. Made these tweaks, and now my phone charges. It has been a fairly recent change to the Linux kernel from what I find. The bug does not exist in Debian 12, but it does in MX Linux ...

Hmmm, you missed the first line?

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

"The file is just shell commands. It is typically used to change prompts, set environment variables, and define shell procedures." *

I'd say nothing a non-interactive type job needs, but...



The first ...

It's usually better to add it to the end of the file so it doesn't disrupt expected behaviors and your changes don't get overwritten. Or add something like this:

if [ -f /home/michael/bin/.bashrc ]; then
. /home/michael/bin/.bashrc
fi

to the end of .bashrc for better portability and ...

You need to add

echo ".bashrc executed"
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ]; then
export PATH="$HOME/bin":$PATH
echo "added to PATH"
fi


with or without the echo statements to the top of .bashrc if you want your personal bin directory to be in your path. This code in .profile

# if running bash
if [ -n ...
