Hey guys, every time I try to use the liquorix i686 non-pae kernel it crashes when I try to boot, it gives me some funny error regarding systemd or something of that sort, I've just copied down the errors manually because I don't know where the log file for these crashes would go.
I get this error on Debian, MX-Linux and SparkyLinux, so it would seem to be regardless of init system, and also its not only on BTRFS, as SparkyLinux doesn't support BTRFS - only EXT4. I am however using BTRFS this time around. I tried this on the SparkyLinux ISO that is built on Debian testing too and I STILL get these errors so I've kind of ruled out it being able to be because I'm running it on Debian stable.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the 4.13 & 4.14 kernels??? I don't understand why it would give me these funny errors, I'm running MX-Linux 17 which doesn't even primarily use SystemD, it uses SysV primarily. I use the 4.12 liquorix kernel which works fine!

Alrighty, I just typed out the error that came up.
It would seem that the odd time it would boot, but its not often, maybe 1 out of 5 or 10 tries it'll actually work, very strange behaviour!



Most of the time its different(like the text underneath), everything is really big like the proper resolution hasn't set.

sometimes its [443] instead of [449]
and sometimes it does something similar but instead at the bottom its

Post inxi -bxxx
so damentz can see what system you have.

Here you go. I also had this problem on SparkyLinux(Debian testing base) as well as a pure Debian stable. I'm running MX-Linux 17 now.
I think I even got these errors on AntiX, although I COULD be wrong, I think I tried it on AntiX, pretty sure I did.

Is there a chance the Liquorix kernel developers could perhaps make it so that the headers will install with gcc-8?
I can add an "experimental" gcc-8 while keeping my gcc-6 intact from the debian "experimental" repo, it would be soooo much more convenient that way, because then Debian stable users would be able to utilize the Liquorix kernel no problem.
I tried compiling gcc-7 from source but APT didn't want to find it...

Stretch users can already use the rebuilds from my OBS repo! Cart-horse spatial inversion?

The Liquorix 4.14 kernel seems to be working for me now, odd. Although its done this before where it'll work once or twice then it'll start screwing up again, so I guess we'll see.

....Your OBS repo? What's OBS? Cart horse what? I remember your name, you're on the MX-Linux/AntiX developers team I think right? You and Dolphin.

<removed pointless political rant>

Look, if you're going to make a political rant, make it somewhere else, and also, if you're going to comment on free software being political, well, i'm really sad to inform you that from the very inception of the gpl it was explicitly political, free as in freedom, that's a political statement. I think you're confused in a fundamental way. You seem to be believe that 'political' means 'does not agree with me or my political views', and that non political means the opposite.

There's an irony to complaining about someone's politics (which were never even discussed here until you felt the need to start blathering about them), when you are the only person here who talked about politics at all. The other people I guess are a bit less insecure or something.

To be technically accurate, GPL was designed specifically to enforce socialist sharing of code, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. That's the intellectual foundation of free software, so if you're looking for the non free ideology, you want to shift to either Windows or Apple products. But you won't escape the political in either case, since both simply embody different political ideologies.

Apparently in your world, nobody is allowed to have differing political views than you. And I assume further, that science in its modern forms is also 'political', because it is observing events that you probably also believe are 'political', not empirically verifiable objective reality.

So yeah, feel free to post on technical issues, but keep the political bs out of the tech forums, and if you want to talk potitics elsewhere, you'd better show something more coherent than what you just demonstrated, and which I've removed so that you don't have to suffer from the embarrassment of anyone else actually having seen what you wrote.

And no, there's no 'free speech' on privately owned and operated forums, and in particular, there is certainly no freedom to post stupid political rants out of any real context in a thread about the Linux kernel having issues with whatever, I mean, yes you are free to post relevant topics, but you are not free to spout this kind of bullsh#t here, and particularly not against people who actually do something to help the projects they work with, and free software in general, using their real and finite personal time and energy. And have done so for many years.

[update] This user has now been banned from the forums, the first user ever, in over 10 years, to have achieved that status. That's due to further posts he made, along the same lines, that have been deleted. On a technical note, all the time he spent writing those was wasted since we never even looked at them once it became apparent that his main goal was to repeat the same nonsense The liquorix forums are not made for this type of cr#p, nor will it be tolerated. The site owner sets the absolute policy, he pays for the site, he runs the site, and he can ban users who demonstrate a total inability to engage in civil discourse in an appropriate manner, and most important, in keeping with the forum topic in question. Again, this is the first user ever to have been banned from these forums, and I hope it's the last.

I don't believe any further warning to other users is required since this is literally the first person who has demonstrated this degree absurdity. Again, we won't allow this kind of cr#p here, we won't read it, and we'll delete your posts and private communications without even looking at them. Again, this is a privately run and owned forum, and we can set whatever policies we want, and I am very happy to say that we have never in as noted over 10 years had to have dealt with such nonsense, and I hope we can continue to maintain an overall civil place for technical discussions to take place.
