The main documentation for the X Mini Edition can be found in the QuickPC Setup & User Guide.
If additional documentation is needed please contact support.
Older documentation:
In order to utilize the Penguin X Mini Edition desktop with older releases you'll need to upgrade the kernel.
On Linux Mint you will need the LTS enablement kernel:
sudo apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04-edge && sudo reboot 0
On Debian you will need to install a kernel from backports:
Use https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid... to re-install (select the graphical install option).
After install:
1. Add below line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main
2. Run the following commands to install the latest kernel from backports:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install linux-image-amd64 -t bullseye-backports
Note: You may need to boot from a supported distribution first (like Ubuntu 22.04) after install and chroot in to install the backported kernel.
Here are simple steps on how to chroot into a Debian install from Ubuntu 22.04. In this example we do not install a new version of Debian in chroot environment but we use the existing installation. Let’s create directory for a chroot environment:
Make directory
# mkdir -p /mnt/chroot
First we need to mount a partition with existing Debian installation. In our case a / partition of existing installation is /dev/hdb1 .
# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/chroot
Next we need to bind hardware with new chroot environment. The next commands will make sure that connected hardware works otherwise update-grub may not function properly.
Mount
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/chroot/proc
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/chroot/dev
Now we are ready to enter chroot environment
chroot
# chroot /mnt/chroot
