Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
I just installed the Liquorix 2.6.36-2 kernel (latest stable) on LMDE-201012-amd64. I highly recommend you give it a try. It greatly enhanced the functionality for me. Of course, YMMV.

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Can you give some instructions or links on how to install the kernel?

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Just go here: http://liquorix.net/. Add the specified repository to your /etc/apt/sources.listknireis wrote:Can you give some instructions or links on how to install the kernel?
Then in terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install '^liquorix-([^-]+-)?keyring.?'

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
fresh lmde 64bit install, added Liquorix kernel, and it wont boot...
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Maybe a video driver problem. If you can't boot from a newly-installed kernel, boot from the older kernel and remove the new one, or make necessary changes to your config.
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Does anyone know if the Liquorix kernel solves some laptop microphones not working? (like mine and several others on IRC).....tks

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
yes, in my case I wouldn't have rebooted until I rebuilt the Nvidia modules, etc.sgosnell wrote:Maybe a video driver problem. If you can't boot from a newly-installed kernel, boot from the older kernel and remove the new one, or make necessary changes to your config.

Worked for me, thanks.tdockery97 wrote:Just go here: http://liquorix.net/. Add the specified repository to your /etc/apt/sources.listknireis wrote:Can you give some instructions or links on how to install the kernel?
Then in terminal:Then add the keyring that was on the liquorix page:Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Then you can just install with Package Manager & reboot into your new kernel.Code: Select all

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Just did it, worked fine. I always like to run the newest kernel available.
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Just tried it, boots up OK, but no compositing so have uninstalled. ATI FGLRX whinged about lack of headers, but I installed them. Any ideas?
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Run sgfxi and try getting the most up-to-date version of fglrx to install. In my specific case, the nvidia 195 series of drivers worked well up to Liquorix 2.6.35, but when .36 arrived, I had to upgrade to the nvidia 260 series otherwise the nvidia module just wouldn't build.
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
I installed using Synaptic Pkg. Mgr. after getting the Repository added. Might try that.xircon wrote:Just tried it, boots up OK, but no compositing so have uninstalled. ATI FGLRX whinged about lack of headers, but I installed them. Any ideas?
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
That's good to know as I was getting ready to do this. However, I can't get to runlevel 3 as it always hangs. How can I "boot" to runlevel 3 so I can update Nvidia driver, then install Liquorix kernel and rebuild Nvidia module.vincent wrote:Run sgfxi and try getting the most up-to-date version of fglrx to install.

EDIT: installed the lastest nvidia driver....going for liquorix

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
This very cool the liquorix works slightly slower than the other kernel, at least to carry, since the opnoffice, flying. Also this fix me, the sound problems in my laptop.
Can I keep the two kernels? or that would produce some conflict?

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
I installed the Liquorix kernel via Synaptic after adding the repo. No problem, except that I had to boot into recovery mode to rebuild my Nvidia module. Seems to work great....but didn't solve the mic problem reported by several on IRC, but that isn't the kernel's fault apparently.

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Whenever possible keep both kernels in case one gets messed up, you have the other to fall back on.salsalha wrote:This very cool the liquorix works slightly slower than the other kernel, at least to carry, since the opnoffice, flying. Also this fix me, the sound problems in my laptop.

Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
You can keep as many kernels as you want. I tend to keep 2 or 3, just in case. You should get a menu at boot letting you choose which kernel to boot. If one gives problems, you can boot to an earlier version that you know worked. Updates do not remove older kernels, they just add new ones as they become available. You have to manually remove older kernels if you want them gone. The best way is through Synaptic package manager, which lets you see all the installed kernels, and you can choose which to remove. Just make sure you never remove the kernel that is currently in use.
Re: Liquorix on LMDE 64-bit
Downloaded the sgfxi script from svn. Getting stuck at:
It is installed - any thoughts?
Code: Select all
Function: check_package_status - Utility: End
ERROR: (200) The package: libgl1-mesa-glx failed to install, please check apt for any problems.
