It's always best to enter the error message into a search engine:

EDIT: better approach:

SUDO_EDITOR=gvim sudoedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-backlight.conf

^ Run that as your normal user (after installing the sudo package and enabling sudo for your user).

EDIT2: add this to ~/.xsessionrc (or /etc/environment) to set $SUDO_EDITOR permanently:

export SUDO_EDITOR=gvim

Then just use sudoedit to edit system files as your normal user.

Remove connman and use ifupdown instead, that's the program that uses /etc/network/interfaces. Make sure the networking service is enabled though.

Although python2 has reached EOL upstream the Debian Security Team are still supporting it and will apply any fixes as required.

It's a dependency of one of the dependencies.

Try this:

# apt install debtree graphviz
debtree mpv > mpv.dot
dot -Tsvg -o mpv.svg mpv.dot

Then open mpv.svg in your browser and try to trace the spider's web

Which drivers are these? It is highly unusual to have to compile your own drivers in Linux, the kernel should already include drivers for just about everything.

Just FYI:

^ This makes you sound like a crazy person, perhaps keep such thoughts to yourself in future. Or start taking the little blue pills the doctor gave you...

There is a third option: reconfigure the console-setup package and select the VGA font, which is the native font supplied by the video card.

For GRUB use the GRUB_FONT option in /etc/default/grub. Or just write your own grub.cfg instead and don't set the font (remove the GRUB packages to prevent the configuration file being overwritten after kernel upgrades).

I presume the device is formatted with ext4 — that reserves 5% of the blocks for root usage by default.

The firefox-esr package is always kept up to date.

Does the card show up in lspci? Use the -k switch to show the loaded kernel drivers. Also check dmesg.

Less hacky solution:

# apt purge console-setup

AMD themselves do not recommend the proprietary drivers for the RX 580 graphics card: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/relea … stallation

The open-source amdgpu drivers out-perform the proprietary versions for almost all tasks (check Phoronix) and Blender works just fine with the non-proprietary versions. Just make sure the firmware-amd-graphics package is installed.

I'm sure anticapitalista will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think antiX or MX (which is it btw?) offer a supported upgrade path from version 18, they recommend a new installation for version 19, so upgrading to beowulf is unlikely to work without some problems.

Have you tried fsck(8)? Either from recovery mode or the live environment.
