guys i'm a bit confused. in synaptic my installed kernel is 6.5.3~bpo12+1 but when i do uname -r it's said my kernel was plain 6.5.0. my question is which one is correct?
another question is the mesa version. i've got updates for mesa 23.3.4 since months ago but when i look up through corectrl it's still said mesa 22.3.6, why it won't updated to 23.3.4?

Re: debian 6.5 kernel and mesa question
I'm a bit confused how you installed that kernel?
Re: debian 6.5 kernel and mesa question
Kernel: It is all about debian naming conventions
Both occurrences refer to same kernel.
Mesa: You are somehow mistaken. Original, current and only mesa version for Bookworm is 22.3.6. Are you perhaps confusing LMDE with another main Mint / Ubuntu-based system of yours?
@Michael_Hathaway: 6.5 kernel is available in bookworm backports. It is installable with: sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64

He lists his kernel at 6.5.3 and the current backports kernel is 6.5.10-1. This is the reason why I was asking how he installed his kernel.

Re: debian 6.5 kernel and mesa question
I have some Windows games installed with "bottles" and I use MangoHUD overlay which shows my games are using mesa 23.3.4 even though glxinfo shows mesa 22.3.6.cangcimen416 wrote: ⤴Wed Feb 14, 2024 10:18 pm another question is the mesa version. i've got updates for mesa 23.3.4 since months ago but when i look up through corectrl it's still said mesa 22.3.6, why it won't updated to 23.3.4?

Now that you mention it...
executing flatpak list in my LMDE system...
Oops...
Two different versions of Mesa installed as flatpak runtimes.

Code: Select all
Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 23.3.5 22.08 system

Re: debian 6.5 kernel and mesa question
As I found out (see my previous post) ... on the occasion of your hereby thread I must confess...
flatpak utilizes its own mesa runtimes the version of which can differ from system's.
I hadn't realized that because I'm an nvidia user and nvidia drivers are handled differently by flatpak.
