Thanks. Yes, sounds likely. At present I’m using 4.9.235-antix.1-amd64-smp.

Before making the change, is there any way of determining what launched these processes? Here’s ps ax just after boot:

I’ve found something rather unusual: several kworker processes that can’t be removed by either slay or kill. I’m not savvy enough to know just what these might be (I assume kernel daemons of some sort) but if they’re orphaned and still active they might be the cause of the problem, especially if they were or are keyboard-related.

I discovered them after pursuing sybok’s suggestion to look through the system logs, which showed up nothing unusual, although I’m not sufficiently familiar with them to be certain as yet. Here are the last few lines of ps ax. You can see the eight terminal tabs open in xfce4-terminal and the three instances of Firefox that are part of my initial Desktop setup, then two instances of Midnight Commander, then a series of kworkers for which I have no explanation:

The Usb wlan plugin adapter was connected when I ran inxi -Nxxx.

This is the text relating to the order I placed, the fact that only 4 were sold at that point may explain why it isn’t working on my install, or maybe why it is relatively cheap at 20 euros posted from China to Spain. I noticed at the time that AliExpress had a very poor choice of wlan cards on offer and as I know nothing about them I just chose this on the basis of availability.

The card appears complete as in the attached pictures.

BCM94331CD Dual Band Network Card Wifi Wireless PCIE Card Bluetooth 4.0 900Mbps Adapter for Windows / MAC OS Desktop PC
4 sold
€ 20,27
Color : BCM94331CD PCIE

Would you recommend my remaining with kernel 4.19.184 or should I revert to the kernel in the 5.10 range that I installed to begin with?

[Member roland]

Having run your suggested search routine I get the attached results. It seems to be a known chipset, but is listed as Usb despite being plugged into a single lane PCIe slot? There is of course a cable linking it to a mainboard Usb header but I assumed that was to support the Bluetooth capability.

The steps I usually do to figure out Wifi problems is:

1. See if wifi is identified in inxi with
inxi -Nxx
there you should be able to see: A) Driver used (under driver: xxx), B) Device ID (under chip ID: XXXX:YYYY). I can start working with this.

2. If I cannot find my wifi device in inxi, I first need to know if it is a USB wifi device or PCI device. If on laptops, most of them are pci devices, and I check the lspci output
lspci -nn
Where I look (one item at a time) and also search the Device ID [XXXX:YYYY]
If it is a USB device, I use lsusb
lsusb
and check for ID XXXX:YYYY

once I have the chip ID, I search for it in https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search
XXXX:YYYY where Vendor ID: (XXXX) Device ID: (YYYY).
For example, one of my USB wifi devices: https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:7392-7811
You can see that it uses different drivers in different kernel versions.

Please, provide the Device ID following the methods above, and check to see if there is any support for it in Linux.

If you find difficulties, share the lspci and lsusb output and we will try to help.

Though your card should be PCI, as you describe, your inxi output shows on the USB devices:
Device-1: 1-1.3:3 info: N/A type: Network driver: ath9k_htc interfaces: 1 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 0cf3:9271 serial: <filter>
https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0cf3-9271
It says this in USB information, but it doesn’t seem to be detected by inxi (doesn’t appear in Network category).

Anyway, this device doesn’t match your described “WTXUP TX-BCM94331CD 900mbps 2.4/5 ghz bluetooth 4.0 PCI-E-AC ver 3.0”. Please provide lspci so we can try to figure this out correctly.

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.

A build using 19.3 recently completed does not recognise the wlan card I installed, although networking in general is working ok using a usb plug-in wlan adapter. I set up networking using the wifi-switch option on the antiX menu selecting Ceni as preferred handler and uninstalled connman.

The wlan card is a WTXUP TX-BCM94331CD 900mbps 2.4/5 ghz bluetooth 4.0 PCI-E-AC ver 3.0 and is installed into a PCIe- single lane slot and connected to a usb header on the mainboard.

After the first setup I installed kernel 5.10.27 over the default thinking to obtain headers that would recognise the wlan device, but I cannot recognise it in the inxi list.

All suggestions will be most welcome.

Hi. the solutions were posted in other posts
sudo apt purge connman-bluetooth-firmware-antix
and
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/initscripts_2.96-6_all.deb

BUT, before you run those commands, could you tell us which antiX version you are running,and how did you set your repos?
inxi -r

For the first problem (connman-bluetooth-firmware-antix), this package was created by anticapitalista to solve a problem to a user during antiX 19 beta testing, but that firmware is now included in newer firmware packages, so it is no longer needed.
The second problem, related to initscripts was initially reported here and soon after anticapitalista released a fix for fbsplash-antix. If your update is not receiving it, my guess is that you have mismatched repositories in your apt sources (probably debian is set to testing/sid, while antix repo is still set to buster).
That is why I suggest you always inform of the antiX version and repo situation when experiencing apt troubles.

Hello skidoo,

Anonymous wrote:

Do you even realize that briar-gtk necessitates installation of a Java (JRE) component?
To date, nothing else pre-installed in antiX uses Java, right?

Is “briar” even a candidate worthy of championing? Has “briar” even achieved sustainable traction? In my reading of in-the-trenhces “briar” user discussions, I have encountered far too many users grumbling (vs praising) it.

It is always a good idea to let decisions be based on careful consideration, taking into account more than the first impression only. You can estimate the intrinsic qualities of programs much better than me, since you dispose of pieces of information from an interior view of them. Inerhent weak points in design or shortcommings I’m not able to evaluate, above all as long I haven’t had a chance to see it running, since my skills in informatics are not that ample by far I could dare to judge this question by looking into the source code. So please take into account my proposal founds on what I have learned by reading its description and manual only. This makes it biased probably.

The program is in an early state of development only, so I consider it to be normal not everything to be working as expected still. Grumbling users I believe to be necessary for the further progress, only this way the developers can learn what could be done better, or simply in another way.

Java: How come again and again reasonable Ideas get implemented this way? Indeed I don’t know what exactly is the taint it obviously must have, but it got around even to me that one should better stay off from its use. Is the standard “Briar” (which works on smartphones only) also based on java, or is only the “Briar-GTK” is affected? Last time “mediathekview” (probably only wellknown in German language area, de, ch, at) which came along java based only, without any alternative application present at that time. Some years ago I would have this program proposed as an candidate for antiX also (at least if it had been of any use to international users), simply for the unique features it has had. So what exactly is the problem with that java (besides the fact it doesn’t seem to use kid gloves when exhausting ressources, slowing down even fast computers notably when employing disadvantageous settings).

So my recommendation of Briar-GTK was based mainly on functional aspects, which this tool aims at:

— This messenger is said to work without any centralised server infrastructure, so the ubiquitous data krakens like Google/Alphabet, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Yandex or whatever they call themselves, or whatever is the flavour of the month, are kept out. I count this for an positive aspect, reminding of the connection Facebook/Twitter –> Cambridge Analytica /SCL GRoup ( –> Emerdata). Bad weeds grow tall… But the duration of capacity for remembering these facts of the users of all these proven untrustworthy messenger providers over time is poor.

— It claims to keep all userdata in the users personal area of influence, which is to say on his own device and under his control, instead of being sent to an nebulous Cloud Service driven by the before mentioned untrustworthy Providers. Maybe I’m somewhat oldfashioned in this concern, but I simply don’t trust in all these touted cloud services of all shades in concern of privacy and security.

— All user data as well as meta data are said to transferred employing a true end-to-end encryption, so infringement of privacy should not can happen. The greediness of all the before mentioned data krakens, who presently keep their users in tight stranglehold by means of their AGBs in order to gravely abuse stolen user data (I am aware they call all this as legal themselves), are kept away.

— The service isn’t subject to arbitrary decisions, nobody can unplug by simply taking down a server the day he doesn’t expect his profit any longer from its existence. Arbitrary rule of administrative machineries is obviated, which is an important aspect for people living in countries facing fascistic dictatorship, so they have access to unbiased information, as well as for journalists and rapporteurs from countries conquered by censorship.

It is free software, nobody can deliberately close down this tool gradually or abruptly, simply by not updating the program code to more recent operating system versions or hardware, not even the draughtsman itself. As long there is a need, other people accordingly skilled will step in to continue, since they have access to all necessary pieces of information. (Example what it plays out usually like comes from another field: Nvidia is just going to try to brick my fully functioning notebook, rendering it to a piece of scrap, simply by keeping secret the necessary pieces of information needed for adapting drivers to recent kernels or xorg versions, moreover removing the needed drivers for the device from their own recent packages at the same time. This is what I call to “unplug”, in this case it boils down to factual disappropriation.)

— In case of internet blackout (in catastrophic scenery e.g.) this program claims to stay usable in near field at least. I believe the devices connect in this case via WLAN or Bluetooth, by rising a local grid.

— My impression from the programs self description is: Standard user should be able easily to install, setup and handle this tool. Nobody should need to dig into this subject in order to enjoy a tamper-resistant and secure communication platform. The big players were only able to establish due to the fact that they have understood to make their offers easily accessible to average people. All the other alternatives I came to know of are actually in lack this kind of easiness. Using them requires at least long learning and skills development, and without at least some knowledge about informatics and cryptographic techniques you will be lost. Neither installation nor usage are in reach otherwise. This establishes great barriers when it comes to subtend something reasonable against the totalitarian mass surveillance owing to private enterprises in internet, something which is usable as easily as e.g. facebook.

— Briar-GTK establishes a bridge for Briar between mobile devices and the world of desktop/laptop. This function is provided by the established messenger services also. If this bridge wouldn’t exist, they should better go and burry their project, since having a drawback like this I don’t believe it will ever become widely accepted.

I can’t assess whether this program will be able to follow up its promises. So I’m not going to start singing any kind of hymn of praise for it, least of all without having seen it working myself. With regard to its safety I have to rely on the expertise of external audits. A first audit was performed already (https://briarproject.org/raw/BRP-01-report.pdf), a second one is announced to follow after development will have been finished once.

Many greetings
Robin.

P.S.: As you have guessed, I don’t need my strong shoulders to accept your justified criticism of my proposal (but yes, you are right again, I do have them, anyway 🙂 ) You are completely right, saying I can’t evaluate the innards of programs by no means at all. By the way, I’m missing here one of your always refreshing images, targeting strikingly at the quintessence. 🙂

In the end it will be always up to the antiX developers, making their decision about whether a proposal fits into their concept of design or not. What we users can do only is altogether give a summary of pro and contra, in order to present as many possible aspects to them they ever need, as a broad base of decision. In this respect I’m completely free of pain: Whenever any of my proposals or statements turns out to be complete nonsense from an other point of view, I’m glad this was identified before somebody has invested time and effort into this.

————————————-

Since I am not a native speaker in english language I’ll add my thoughts in my native language for reference, in case I missed to express something correctly in english language:

Es ist gut, Entscheidungen auf Überlegungen basieren zu lassen, die mehr als nur den äußeren Anschein einer Sache einbeziehen. Du kannst die Inneren Werte eines Programms besser beurteilen als ich, weil Du über mehr Informationen aus der Innenansicht von Programmen verfügst. Mögliche mögliche Schwächen oder Mängel kann ich nicht beurteilen, bevor ich das Programm nicht in Betrieb gesehen habe, denn meine Informatik-Fähigkeiten reichen nicht aus, um das durch Inspektion des Sourcecodes beurteilen zu können. Mein Vorschlag gründete sich also auf dem, was ich aus seiner Beschreibung von dem Programm weiß. Er ist daher sicherlich “biased”.

Es ist noch in einem frühen Entwicklungsstadium. Da sehe ich es als normal an, daß nicht alles funktioniert wie gewünscht. Grummelnde Anwender halte ich angesichts dessen für notwendig, nur so können die Entwickler lernen was sie vielleicht besser oder jedenfalls anders machen könnten.

Java: Warum nur werden immer wieder sinnvolle Ideen auf diese Weise umgesetzt? Ich weiß zwar nicht genau, was genau der Makel an Java ist, aber es hat sich auch bis zu mir herumgeprochen, daß man es möglichst vermeiden soll. Ich wußte auch nicht, daß dieses Programm auf Java angewiesen ist. Gilt das auch für das “normale” Birar, das ja nur auf Smartphones funktioniert, oder nur für “Briar-GTK”? Zuletzt war es “mediathekview” (nur im deutschsprachigen Regionen bekannt), das alternativlos nur mit Java umgesetzt war. Auch dieses Werkzeug hätte ich aufgrund seiner Funktionalität vor einigen Jahren als Installationskandidaten für antiX vorgeschlagen. Was also genau ist das Problem mit Java (außer daß es nach meiner Erfahrung nicht grade zimperlich mit den Ressourcen umgeht und einen Computer bei ungünstigen Voreinstellungen auch ordentlich ausbremsen kann?

Meine Empfehlung für Briar-GTK basierte hauptsächlich auf den funktionalen Aspekten, die damit angestrebt werden:

– Dieser Messenger soll ohne zentrale Serverinfrastruktur auskommen, so bleiben die üblichen Datenkraken (Google/Alphabet, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Yandex oder wie sie alle heißen, und was grade “angesagt” ist) außen vor. Ich sehe das positiv und erinnere in diesem Zusammenhang an Facebook/Twitter –> Cambridge Analytica / SCL Group ( –> Emerdata). Unkraut vergeht nicht…
Aber das Erinnerungsvermögen der Nutzer dieser unzuverlässigen Messenger-Anbieter ist leider nur von sehr kurzer Dauer.

– Alle Daten sollen im persönlichen Einflußbereich des Nutzers bleiben, also auf seinem eigenen Gerät, und nicht irgend einer unkontrollierbaren Cloud eines der vorgenannten Anbieter anvertraut werden. Mag sein, daß ich da zu altmodisch denke, aber ich vertraue diesen ganzen Cloudangeboten, welcher Couleur auch immer, einfach nicht, was den Datenschutzaspekt und ihre Sicherheit anbelangt.

– Alle Daten und Metadaten sollen mit einer echten Ende-zu-Ende Verschlüsselung übertragen werden, Datenschutzprobleme müßten damit gut beherrschbar sein. Die Begehrlichkeiten der o.g. Datenkraken, die den Nutzer mit ihren AGBs derzeit fest im Würgegriff haben um mit den gestohlenen Informationen (ich weiß, sie selbst behaupten es sei alles legal) unbemerkt Schindluder zu treiben, bleiben außen vor.

– Es unterliegt keiner Willkür, niemand kann einfach durch Abschalten eines Servers den Stecker ziehen, sobald er keine Profite mehr aus dem Betrieb erwartet. Auch Behördenwillkür wird so vorgebeugt. Das ist grade für Menschen in Ländern mit faschistoiden Diktaturen ein wesentlicher Aspekt, um an unverfälschte Informationen gelangen zu können, sowie für Journalisten und freie Berichterstatter aus zensierten Erdteilen.

– Es ist freie Software, niemand kann willkürlich schleichend oder abrupt den Betrieb einstellen, indem der Programmcode nicht mehr an modernere Betriebssysteme oder Hardware angepasst wird, nicht einmal die Anbieter selbst können das. Solange ein Bedarf besteht, werden sich Menschen mit den entsprechenden Fähigkeiten finden, die es weiterführen, weil alle erforderlichen Informationen offenliegen. (Beispiel dafür, wie es normalerweise läuft, aus einem anderen Bereich: Nvidia z.B. ist grade dabei zu versuchen, aus meinem gut funktionierenden Notebook einen Haufen Schrott zu machen, indem sie die nötigen Informationen für die Treiberaktualisierung unter Verschluß halten, zugleich aber die benötigten Treiber aus ihren eigenen aktuellen Paketen entfernt haben. Das meine ich mit “den Stecker ziehen”, in diesem konkreten Fall läuft es auf faktische Enteignung hinaus.)

– Bei Ausfall des Internets (z.B. im Katastrophenfall) soll der Service im Nahbereich weiterhin funktionieren. Ich vermute, daß die Geräte in diesem Fall per WLAN oder Blootooth ein lokales Netz aufspannen.

– Mein Eindruck nach der Programmbeschreibung ist: Es ist für normale Nutzer leicht einzurichten und zu handhaben, niemand soll sich erst jahrelang in die Thematik einarbeiten müssen, um in den Genuß einer manipulationsfesten und sicheren Kommnuikationsplatform zu kommen. Die großen o.g. Anbieter konnten sich nur etablieren, weil ihr Angebot für alle Menschen leicht zugänglich ist. Das ist bei allen anderen Alternativen, die mir bekannt sind nicht so, ohne Monate-oder Jahrelange Einarbeitung und informationtechnische bzw. kryptographische Grundkenntnisse ist eine Installaton oder der Betrieb nicht denkbar. Das ist eine große, unüberwindliche Hürde wenn es darum geht, totalitärer Massenüberwachung durch Privatunternehmen im Internet etwas entgegenzusetzen, was von einer breiten Nutzerbasis so selbstverständlich genutzt werden kann wie Facebook & Co.

– Briar-GTK ist das Bindeglied für Briar zwischen der mobilen und der Desktop/Laptop Welt. Diese Funktion bieten schließlich auch die etablierten Messengerdienste. Wenn diese Brücke nicht funktioniert, können sie das Projekt eigentlich gleich beerdigen, mit so einem Mangel könnte es sich nicht durchsetzen.

Ich kann nicht einschätzen, ob dieses Programm seine Versprechen einlösen kann. Ich werde also keine Hymne darüber anstimmen, schon gar nicht ohne es selbst in Betrieb gesehen zu haben. Hinsichtich seiner Sicherheit muß ich mich ohnehin auf die Expertise von externen Audits verlassen. Einen ersten gab es (https://briarproject.org/raw/BRP-01-report.pdf), ein zweiter soll angeblich nach Abschluß der Entwicklung durchgeführt werden.

Grüße
Robin

P.S.: Du siehst, ich brauche keine starken Schultern um Deine berechtigte Kritik an meinem Vorschlag anzunehmen (doch, die habe ich trotzdem). Denn Du hast völlig recht, ich kann das Innenleben des Programms nicht beurteilen. Übrigens vermisse ich in Deiner Antwort Deine immer wieder erfrischenden, den Kernpunkt plakativ treffenden Bilder. 🙂

Am Ende sind es immer die antiX Entwickler, die entscheiden müssen, ob ein Vorschlag in ihr Konzept passt oder nicht. Wir Anwender können das Für und Wider darlegen, um eine möglichst gute Entscheidungsgrundlage zu bereiten. Und da bin ich, was Kritik angeht, völlig schmerzbefreit. Wenn sich irgend einer meiner Vorschläge aus einer anderern Perspektive betrachtet als völliger Blödsinn herausstellt, bin ich froh daß es erkannt wurde bevor irgend jemand viel Zeit und Mühe dahinein investiert hat.

Hi folks

During this lock down period, I’ve been informing myself on how android devices “spy” on us. I’ve always know about that, and, to some people, that may not be scary. However I did not like to learn stuff like this:
-A recent research pointed out that, on average android/IOS devices send your private data (like phone number, IMEI, location, and possibly contacts, browsing history, etc, etc) over the net (to Google/Apple servers) and that android devices send 20 times the data IOs devices send… (I think I listened to this on Wired UK podcast title something like “your phone sends your data every 4.5 minutes”)
-I’m going through a very bad economic situation, so I do not have a spare android device to try to install and alternative degoogled ROM, so I tried to degoogle my android 10 device as much as possible without rooting/installing a new OS.
the end result is not perfect, but not that bad…
At least my Samsung android 10 device allows, using the Options drop down menu, to disable “Google play” store and “Google services”.

Before doing such extreme measure I recommend doing this:
Go trough the Options menu on your android device you can disable stuff like personalized adds, period Bluetooth devices, clear and disable your google history, etc.- that does allow you a small increase on privacy, but not by much, and that because something I learned on the Youtube channel “Rox Braxman Tech”- do you know the “GPS” icon on your android device? That does not turn off your GPS- it simply disables it’s use from third party apps, but not Google Services- you GPS is on 24/7, and, as soon as you connect your device to the internet, that data is sent to Google’s servers.
Also this- if you connect to a WI-fi network and your device has GPS service, the precise location of that network is sent to Google (including the rooter’s ID)…
Even if you don’t allow third party apps access to your location, that can be estimated from your last know position, using the phone’s sensors (Braxman has a short video showing how to activate a secret android icon on the options that allows to switch off all sensors- including camera and mic (but not GPS)- you can only use your mic for phone calls if you disable sensors. It’s a instant on/off switch, very handy.

Turning off Google Playstore does not improve your privacy by much- and you do have to turn it back on to check for application updates (for apps installed from the Play Store)
Turning off Google Services does seem to improve your privacy by a lot, but alsos puts you, if you are a google service’s user, in a world of pain- Google Chrome, Maps, Youtube and Gmail app’s complain about not working without “Google services”- hell, even “contacts” complains about that, although it still works ok, but producing an anoying notification. Netflix complains the same way, but still works…

I have a few suggestions to using a “semi-ungoogled device” – before turning off the Play store, install several alternative apps to use instead the default apps:
Also, change your device from the options menu so you can side-load apps. Navigate to F-droid’s page and install it’s apk- it’s an android apps store that offers only open source aplications.
From Playstore or f-droid install:
“Simple Contacts Pro” – to use instead of Google’s Contacts- it’s similar and allows you to import export your contact’s list to a file and save it/upload it to whereever you want.
“Simple Calendar” instead of Calendar – if, for some reason, your calendar does not work without google services. You also have, on f-droid “Etar – OpenSource Calendar” that’s also very good, with material design.
“Firefox” – to use instead of “Google chrome”- if you want an extra layer of privacy install this extras: “Ublock Origin”, “Privacy Badger” and “Decentral eyes”
Also search the web for Bromite Browser – it’s a fully open source “degoogled” Chrome for android
“NewPipe” – a Youtube video player/downloader (or create a link to Youtube’s webpage on your home screen, using Firefox/Bromite)
“Gmail”- create a link to gmail’s webpage on your home screen, using Firefox/Bromite. If you want to access gmail off line, install K-9 mail, from F-droid
“Maps”- install a free and preferebly off line gps map software- in Portugal we do have MeoDrive, that’s add supported, with unusntrosive adds

Some apps, like homebaking may not work without Google Services being active (to use them activate those services and then deactivate them again, after using your Bank)- ideally, do not use mobile devices to do your banking, use a secure computer.
Whatsapp, Messenger, Netflix, Spotify and Kindle still work ok, without google services (but I know Netflix complains about it). Although I use Messenger for video calls, I have not tested Facebook’s app- you should not use it anyway, if you are really into social networks, use a secure browser to access them- the Facebook app has access, that is sent to FB’s servers to too much information about you, even when you are not using that app.

If you disable Google Services, close contacts, Chrome, Maps, youtube and gmail, from your applications configuration menu, unless you want to bee bombarded by notifications to turn on Google Services.
I’ve not tested Games that require Google Play, because I don’t have any, but they should require Google services…

Add to the bottom of your main screen “Simple Contacts Pro” (instead of Contacts) and your selected browser instead of “Chrome”. If you want to have your opensource applications updated, install them from F-droid (search on-line on how to add Firefox’s/ Bromite’s, Newpipe’s repository to F-droid, and you’r set.

I recently made a list off free apps for android, but, here are some opensource/free (add supported) nice apps to use on your android device:
*OpenBoard- opensouce version of Google’s keyboard (get it on f-droid)
*Joplin- opensource note/todo (get it on f-droid)
*Xodo- PDF viewer/editor/creator (not open source, but free)
*AntenaPod (opensource podcasts manager) (get it on f-droid)
*FeedR (open source off-line news reader) (get it on f-droid)
*VLC media player (opensource multimedia player, works off-line or on-line) (get it on f-droid)
*Koreader (opensource, e-book/pdf/odt reader – not pretty, but effective- get it on f-droid)
*Collabora Office (android’s LibreOffice port- not opensource, does not seem to be open source- but very good to read office documents (including MS office) and do small editions to those dcouments – available in PLaystore or Collabora’s website directly
*Microsoft Lens- scan documents in pdf format- not open source, but can be used Off-line, without privacy problems)- available in Google PLaystore

Casual games for almost all tastes, for your commute, or WC time 🙂
*Patience Revisited (Klondike solitaire, etc)- available in Google PLaystore
*Domination (opensource version of Risk boardgame)
*Strategy (free version of Stratego boardgame)- available in Google PLaystore
*CrossWords (via F-droid)- opensource, multilingual version of Scrable boardgame)
*ChessFree (not open-source, but free Chess game, add supported- non intrusive adds, for 1 or 2 players, works off-line)- available in Google PLaystore
*Dalmax checkers(not open-source, but free Checkers game, add supported- non intrusive adds, for 1 or 2 players, works off-line)- available in Google PLaystore
*Puzzles (opensource puzzle games, via F-droid)- includes Sudoku (Solo), Minesweeper (Mines), Brigdes (Brigdes), Same Game (Same Game), Mastermind (Guess) and much more
*Mahjong Builder- it’a a Mahjong solitaire, opensource, via F-droid.
*Blockinger – very nice opensource Tetris clone, via F-droid.
*Freedoom – opensource Doom FPS android port (untested my be)

For using all other apps, activate google services and play store, check for updates, install whatever app you need and disable those services again… But think, before installing crap on your device- do you really need those apps installed? Are they good for you?

Enjoy, P.

While searching for a solution to blocked wifi on a netbook where rfkill did not work I came across some information
from archwiki. Many thanks to the Archers who with so much in depth knowledge have helped me in many situations.
URL to the full article is at end of post !.
Hopefully this will be of help to other antiX users with wifi problems.

$ connmanctl enable wifi was in my case the key to unblocking.

————————————————————————————————————————-
# Warning: connman grabs rfkill events. It is most likely impossible to use rfkill or bluetoothctl to (un)block devices,
yet hardware keys may still work.[1] Always use connmanctl enable|disable
————————————————————————————————————————–

Hardware interfaces are referred to as Technologies by ConnMan.

To list available technologies run:

$ connmanctl technologies

To get just the types by their name one can use this one liner:

$ connmanctl technologies | awk ‘/Type/ { print $NF }’

Note: The field Type = tech_name provides the technology type used with connmanctl commands

To interact with them one must refer to the technology by type. Technologies can be toggled on/off with:

$ connmanctl enable technology_type

To toggle on wifi:

$ connmanctl enable wifi

and:

$ connmanctl disable technology_type

To toggle off wifi:

$ connmanctl disable wifi
———————————————————————————————————————–

Using connmann interface for diagnostic or connection:

$ connmanctl scan wifi

To list the available networks found after a scan run :

$ connmanctl services

(example outputbelow)
*AO MyNetwork wifi_dc85de828967_68756773616d_managed_psk
OtherNET wifi_dc85de828967_38303944616e69656c73_managed_psk
AnotherOne wifi_dc85de828967_3257495245363836_managed_wep
FourthNetwork wifi_dc85de828967_4d7572706879_managed_wep
AnOpenNetwork wifi_dc85de828967_4d6568657272696e_managed_none

To connect to an open network, use the second field beginning with wifi_:
$ connmanctl connect wifi_dc85de828967_4d6568657272696e_managed_none

For password protected wifi:

For protected access points you will need to provide some information to the ConnMan daemon, at the very least a password or a passphrase.

The commands in this section show how to run connmanctl in interactive mode, it is required for running the agent command. To start interactive mode simply type:

$ connmanctl

You then proceed almost as above, first scan for any Wi-Fi technologies:

connmanctl> scan wifi

To list services:

connmanctl> services

Now you need to register the agent to handle user requests. The command is:

connmanctl> agent on

You now need to connect to one of the protected services. To do this easily, just use tab completion for the wifi_ service. If you were connecting to OtherNET in the example above you would type:

connmanctl> connect wifi_dc85de828967_38303944616e69656c73_managed_psk

The agent will then ask you to provide any information the daemon needs to complete the connection. The information requested will vary depending on the type of network you are connecting to. The agent will also print additional data about the information it needs as shown in the example below.

Agent RequestInput wifi_dc85de828967_38303944616e69656c73_managed_psk
Passphrase = [ Type=psk, Requirement=mandatory ]
Passphrase?

Provide the information requested, in this example the passphrase, and then type:

connmanctl> quit

If the information you provided is correct you should now be connected to the protected access point.
Settings. Warning here, some special characters are not always accepted in passwords.

On old hardware:
For a 40 bit WEP network the password is 5-characters.
For a 128 bit WEP network the password is 13-characters.
The now usual WPA uses either a passphrase (a shared secret) that is comprised of 8 to 63 characters or a fixed-length of 64 HEX characters.

For networks the user connects to often Settings and profiles are automatically created . They contain fields for the passphrase, essid and other
information. Profile settings are stored in directories under /var/lib/connman/ by their service name.

To view all network profiles run this command from root shell:

# cat /var/lib/connman/*/settings

VPN settings: # cat /var/lib/connman-vpn/.

… My first impression
I like the way antiX-Runit bullseye works, it’s fast and pretty simple
and not to much memory and process.
(tried via VM VirtualBox)

Thanks Xecure!
This is my acpi-support. Am I missing anything?

~ $ cat  /etc/default/acpi-support
#
# Configuration file for the acpi-support package
#
#
# The acpi-support package is intended as "glue" to make special functions of
# laptops work. Specifically, it translates special function keys for some
# laptop models into actions or generic function key presses.
#

#
# Suspend/hibernate method
# ------------------------
#
# When gnome or kde power management daemons are running, acpi-support will
# translate the suspend and hibernate keys of laptops into special "suspend"
# and "hibernate" keys that these daemons handle.
#
# Only in situations where there is no power management daemon
# running, acpi-support needs to perform suspend/hibernate in some other way.
# Beginning with version 0.122-1 acpi-support solely uses pm-utils then.

# Comment the next line to disable ACPI suspend to RAM
ACPI_SLEEP=true

# Comment the next line to disable suspend to disk
ACPI_HIBERNATE=true

# Use Radeontool to switch the screen off? Seems to be needed on some machines
# RADEON_LIGHT=true

# Comment this out to disable screen locking on resume
LOCK_SCREEN=true

# Uncomment this to enable ACPI sleep when the lid screen is closed.
LID_SLEEP=false

# Uncomment this to shutdown the system if ACPI sleep has not been possible
# upon lid closure. Has no effect if LID_SLEEP is not set.
#LID_SHUTDOWN=true

# On some systems pressing the wireless button only results in an event that we
# handle, but not in some hardware enforced action. On these systems we are
# free to choose whether or not we cycle through "Both on, Both off, Wireless
# only, Bluetooth only" as we used to do, or if we just do "Both on, Both off"
# as the hardware kill switch does on most systems.
#
# For compatibility reasons with older version the larger cycle is the default.
# Enable this to to have both in switched on and off simultaniously. 
#WIRELESS_BLUETOOTH_SYNC=true

# Choose the method used to switch off/on the display. Available options are
# "xset", "xrandr" and "vbetool".
DISPLAY_DPMS=xset

# xrandr needs the output device to be named
XRANDR_OUTPUT=LVDS

# vbetool can switch off/on the display even if no user is logged in. However,
# there are systems that do not reset the display when coming out of suspend,
# so that the screen remains dark. Enable this option to switch off the display
# even if no one is logged in.
#DISPLAY_DPMS_NO_USER=true
