Things to Do After Installing SysLinuxOS 12

A few important things to do after installing SysLinuxOS 12. If you use SysLinuxOS 12 on your laptops or desktops, there are a few steps you might want to do after installing SysLinuxOS.

If Calamares fails try to install by connecting the power supply. I’ve noticed this can happen with some laptops.

1) Connect your PC to the Internet and then mandatory

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo reboot

Now your network cards will be eth0, wlan0. If not, run the script manually:

sudo /opt/scripts/rename-interfaces.sh
sudo reboot

2) Conky

Mate is optimized for 1920×1080 resolution.

With Conky enabled on Mate Desktop you can use the portion of the desktop on the left, otherwise if you want temporarily disable conky

killall conky

permanently on Mate:

go to System-Preferences-Personal-Startup Applications and uncheck “start_conky.desktop” and reboot.
Auzia conky is located in /opt/auzia-conky/ and as default network card it uses wlan0, to switch to eth0, edit the settings.lua file. The second conky is in the standard path /etc/conky/conky.conf.

permanently on Gnome:

go to Accessories-Stacer-Startup Apps and disable/delete it
or
Application-Utilities-Tweaks-Startup Applications

WARNING

I’ve read about some problems with the 6.3.8 kernel, with the nvidia drivers, I recommend for those who use them or for those with other problems (virtualbox) to downgrade, and use the kernel from the repositories

sudo apt install linux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64 linux-headers-6.1.0-9-amd64
