Troubleshooting • Re: Does conky not work on bookworm?

Thanks. On our RPi respin we only need conky-all in addition to conky itself. If you are interested to check you could download it and see how it works. Plus we have some 50 conkies that can be selected. It is included on PINN, though I'm not sure if that version has been updated to MX-23.6. The direct download is here:

Hi Jerrymxfb
I have tried to put mxlinux 23.6 respin into PINN, but it is currently not suitable for 2 reasons:

1. `/etc/resize-root-fs` assumes that the root partition is always partition number 2 as this is a hardcoded number, which will not be the case under PINN. It therefore tries to resize the wrong partition. Under PINN this often fails, but in my tests it can also end up with a missing partition 2 under some circumstances. I suggest looking at https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberry ... stboot#L24 for how Raspios does this. Also note that Raspios avoids resizing the rootfs IF partition 5 exists, which is their way of detecting use under NOOBS/PINN, as resizing is not normally necessary under PINN.

2. Booting mxlinux after installing with RPi-Imager loads a configuration script to enter user details and configure locales etc. After installing with PINN, or when mxlinux is not installed on partitions 1&2, this script does not run and it goes straight to the login prompt with user 'demo' which doesn't work. This could be because the resize-root-fs script has failed, but it could be another reason.

If you want this to install under PINN, these would need fixing. If they are just small script changes, PINN can apply some patches post installation to avoid having to create a whole new mxlinux release.
