Latest secure kernels available in the repos for 32 (pae and non-pae) and 64 bit architecture.
5.5.0 (antiX-17, antiX-19, testing and sid)
4.19.100 (antiX-17, antiX-19, testing and sid)
4.9.212 (antiX-17, antiX-19, testing and sid)
4.4.212 (antiX-16, antiX-17, antiX-19)
Note: The 5.5.0 kernel will not build broadcom-sta wifi, nvidia drivers or virtualbox drivers (yet).
Regarding the new kernels (and the need for tools to asses/mitigate Spectppore and Meltdown) the x.x.212 series kernels are not available in the repos. A x.x.200 kernel is new and ready. And it contains microcode for the intel CPUs.
Typo maybe?
Thanks again.
No typo. They are in the repos eg http://it.mxrepo.com/antix/buster/pool/main/l/
Hello,
Just so I’m understand this correctly I need to change repos to upgrade my kernel? Im on MX-19
If there is still /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list on MX-19,there is no need to change repos. I think MX ships with cli-aptiX which is the easiest way to install an antiX kernel.
Ok. I will try that thank you. I also run antix on my older desktop and it updated the kernels right away.
Thank you for your help
Michael
cli-aptiX did not work. It wasnt showing me any of the newer kernels
4.9.212, found it. Thank you for the double-check. I did not check mirror status prior to ‘apt reload’. Maybe my closest site was slow to mirror.
Who is compiling these customs?
Me.
I still don’t see anything in the repos or from aptiX-CLI
What is the prroper way to add the repo:
http://it.mxrepo.com/antix/buster/pool/main/l/ to MX-Linux?
Thank you
You should really ask over at MX Linux.
Ok.
