Support for MX and antiX Linux distros

I have moved to the 6.6.12-1 version, but unfortunately the wifi is still not showing up.j2mcgreg wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 7:01 pm I notice that you are using a Liquorix 6.8.xxx kernel. Try the 6.6.12-1 instead which is known to solve a lot of wifi problems. Because it's a slightly older kernel, you will have to use Boot Options in MX Tools to set it as the default and then reboot.

I then used a usb iso to create the GPT partitions and disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and installed Linux. Is there any way I can check if this has happened and fix it?siamhie wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 7:24 pm Did you ever start the device with Windows installed? It's possible fast boot has locked that device.
Yes, I have downloaded the driver from Intel and put it in /lib/firmware. It is not linking it with the device. I found the following error message in the log:CharlesV wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:26 pm You have loaded this driver from intel?
iwlwifi-cc-46.3cfab8da.0.tgz
if the modprobe reconfigure didnt work, then the next place I would head is to the very latest linux-firmware... but yes j2mcgreg is correct there are a lot of reports of issues with that controller.
You need to run dmesg with sudoTod wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 9:30 pmSo it looks like it may be something to do with iwlwifi not having the right permissions to read the kernel buffer (which I don't understand how to fix).Code: Select all
$ dmesg | grep iwlwifi dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted
Code: Select all
sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifiCode: Select all
sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi | grep firmwareMany thanks for this suggestion. Turning off my pc at the wall solved the problem and the wifi is now working! I did not realise that Windows could leave parts locked if I only rebooted.siamhie wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:07 pmTod wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 7:46 pmYes, I started the pc in Windows before installing Linux.

Not sure but you can try turning the device off and unplugging it's power source, then plug back in. Maybe also try rebooting several times.
It's "just worked" to connect anyplace I take it.Tod wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 3:31 pm Stevo, did you make any changes after installing MX Linux, or did the driver work straight away?
Windows still spits at thee from Hell's heart, apparently....CharlesV wrote: Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:42 pm Very nice! Happy to hear that fixed it !
And yes, long as the bits have juice, windows can affect it after running.
