Hi ku4yp,
Your cpu is 64 bit so that iso version might work better on there.
I had to run ceni on mine and scan to find my wifi router then
type in my password….then on the next screen I put auto instead
of hot plug and now my atheros connects automatically when the kernel boots.
ceni is located under internet in the menu and in the control centre.PPC
Hi, folks.
Recently I noticed every time I booted from my live Antix 17 64bits USB with persistence I could not save any file to my Live-usb-storage folder… Today I took the time to try to save a file and really paid attention to the problem. I get a message saying it’s “read only”.
Even when I try booting from my Antix 16.2 installed on my hard drive, if I try to change anything on that folder from my live usb boot drive, I get the same error message.
I noticed that a file I saved there “13.04 – How do I make Youtube videos stream faster on my ubuntu_ – Ask Ubuntu_files.html” shows up with an exclamation on it’s icon. If I try to delete it I get an “input/output error” message.
Is there a way to solve this situation without formating my usb pen drive and reinstaling the system there and configure persistence again (wich was a pain the first time around)?
Thanks in advance for any replies…PPC
EDIT on 20/3/2018:
Thanks for your replies… In case anyone else ends up getting a similar error: it was in fact a corrupted usb pen drive. For now I reformated and reinstalled… I upgraded my live Antix from 17 to 17.1 (yeah, setting up persistence the second time around is not that hard… but probably someone should do an ilustrated step by step guide for newbies. If there is one I failed to find it.- and yes, if there is none, when I have the time, I’ll try to do one myself and post it)! But this drive won’t probably last much longer.P.S.- I’ve never been able to burn a live iso to a usb pen drive from Antix, using the provided application. It takes about 15 minutes and finishes without errors, but always refuses to boot after that. I always end up booting to windows7 and using a free app that never fails burning the live iso to any usb pen drive in about 5 minutes… Any of you has an explanation for that? And by the way is there any way to verify and fix usb drives in antix (I ended up doing that in windows too)?
Thanks for the help that you folks never fail to provide! 🙂

Aha!
I tried using using ‘DD’ mode instead of ‘ISO’
Thats working with both -base and -full and gives me something that boots.Thanks for getting me on the right path.

If and when you have done all this and you still can’t boot you may have a good usb stick with the iso transferred but your bios is sending you back to windows.
One, edit the bios on the sequence of which your machine boots and tell it to try USB first then HD
or
Two, you must find the correct button/sequence to get to a boot option where you can select the device. Many have F12 during bios reading, some like HP have F9, some will give you a message of the correct options during bios-read (F2 to modify bios settings, F12 for selecting boot device, for example).Once you have a live linux then transferring an iso image to a device is just a simple command, no rufus or usbootin or any of that stuff.

I think it sounds like it’s booting the operating system, but not able to bring up X-windows.
What kind of graphics did you say it has? I have a Dell XPS I7 with combined nVidia/Intel graphics which runs that same AntiX version. Maybe give us a link to the motherboard so we can see the specs.
Did you try safe video mode? Give that a try…
So, you didn’t actually get to where you run the install, you are not able to boot completely from the DVD?
PS: try Caprea’s suggestion first, if it still has trouble try mine.
Under Ubuntu from a terminal to get the pci info that would say what graphics you have you could run
lspci -vnnYes, it starts to boot X=Windows and freezes. It has an Nvidia GEFORCE 820m graphics chipset and an Intel Graphics chipset selectable under Windows10. AntiX boots and goes right past login for root without waiting for me to enter password.
Tried failsafe mode, no joy.
Did not check DVD for errors but iso MD5 was good.
It is an ASUSTP300LD. I can’t find motherboard information.Below are screenshots of error messages.

Plugin the pendrive.
Launch rufus.
If rufus asks permission “need to download 2 small files”, answer “Yes”.
Click the [icon of a DVD drive] button in Rufus to browse+select iso file.Review the input fields.
Device: {if the USB pendrive has not been autoselected, use the selectbox to select it as the target}
Partition Scheme: {choose “MBR …for BIOS or UEFI”}
File system: {FAT32}
Cluster size {trust the preselected default; do not change}
New Volume Label: Rufus populated the field with “antiXlive” when you select the iso file. You’re free to choose a different label.
Check device for bad blocks {suggest leaving this UNchecked}
Quick format {suggest leave CHECKED}
Create a bootable disk using [ISO image] {— you’ve already selected this
Create extended label and icon files {suggest leave CHECKED}
List USB hard drives {leave unchecked}
Add fixes {leave UNchecked, unless you later learn this is needed (rarely so)}Click rufus [Start] button & await completion (for a usb2 drive, expect 3-6 minutes; for a usb3 drive, expect 2-4 minutes)
Upon completion, click the rufus Exit (or RestartSystem, your choice) button.Topic: Can't get started

Feeling dumb here, but…
I’ve downloaded the antix 17 full iso on a Windows computer.
All the instructions for installation etc start from AFTER you’ve booted up from that iso.
What’s the correct proceedure to get that iso on a USB stick? I’ve tried Rufus and Yumi and one other and I can’t get a bootable result.
In reply to: antiX-17_x64-full freezes on install
You should go to a terminal and run
inxi -Fxz
Post the output of that here. Also, to be clearer, maybe list the steps you did as a list in order, as its hard to understand what you created and how you are trying to boot.
I can’t get to a terminal to run the command in antiX. In Ubuntu, that command is not recognized.
The steps I performed for a live install are…
1)Burned the iso to DVD.
2) inserted 256G thumb drive
3)Set bios to boot DVD 1st.
4)Turn off secure boot
5)save and exit bios
6)AntiX begins boot sequence
7) Selected Custom from antiX boot menu. (tried all the other options too).
8)select timezone
9)select US 105 keyboard
10)select default for other options.
11)AntiX goes through boot text screens (some error messages that go by too fast, I’ll record and post)
12) mouse appears on screen with all black background. Sometimes the mouse pointer is visible when it freezes, sometimes it disappears and freezes.Here is the inxi -Fxz output from Virtualbox…

I have the iso on CD, chksum indicates good download. I’m trying to create a bootable USB drive with 256 gig usb drive for my Asus Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz Ă— 4 with 8gig ram. There are 2 graphics chips, one intel one Nvidia 820m. I run the CD for a live install and antix freezes right after all the boot screens are complete. I get a mouse arrow that is movable for about 1 minute and then it freezes. I have to hard shutdown. Funny thing is antiX installs under Virtualbox no problem. I cannot create a bootable usb while running Virtualbox because the usb is not detected when I use the create usb drive tool. I have formated the usb to ext4 and is seen by Ubuntu. I have disabled secure boot in bios also with no luck…any help would be appreciated.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemspjh
My previous attempt at creating a live USB system with persistence (several years ago) turned into a saga and was abandoned, so it’s quite exciting to find a distribution that Just Works. After a couple of days I’m impressed.
I blew the dust off an EeePC 901 and installed antiX with encryption and static persistence on a 32G SD card. No major problems – it boots fine off the SD, which the Eee sees as a USB2 device. Speed is good enough. I put everything on the SD as I wanted whole-disk encryption (seems not to be an option for installation on internal disks?), and also to simplify backups and cloning, so the Eee’s internal SSDs are currently unused.
All went painlessly: installed lots of packages, remastered, and created a live USB to try on other machines.
Minor problems so far, and workarounds:
– Just now I hit the mount limit (30) on homefs. fsck was triggered during boot, and segfaulted. This was repeatable. Rebooting with persistence disabled, I checked homefs and rootfs manually and they were clean. Setting the checkfs boot parameter caused a similar segfault on each device checked. So as a workaround, after re-enabling static persistence, I’ve added and saved the nocheckfs boot parameter and will check manually from time to time.
– The border around text-mode consoles is certainly pretty, but a bit of an annoyance on small screens: removing the splash=v boot parameter and saving fixed this. Might be worth automating this for small screens?
– Probably not an antiX problem, but suggestions welcome: I created a live USB via the gui from the remastered system, on a 32G Kingston DTSE9 G2 USB3.0 stick, allegedly USB2-compatible. Surprisingly this is much slower to boot and halt than the SD card (even though they both go through the same USB2 hub within the Eee). On other, faster, machines with more memory the USB boot with this stick is still painfully slow (about 3 minutes to the Slim login screen). The no-name USB2 stick I used to get started with a dd’d ISO boots much faster with encryption and static persistence: similar speed to the SD card. This looks like a USB stick problem, and needs investigating. All machines tried so far are USB2. I haven’t tried any basic read/write speed tests on the USB stick yet. Is there anything else I should look at?

Topic: Urxvt Terminal Revisited

Urxvt Revisited
After years of using whatever terminal came with whichever distro, I decided to check out urxvt, (rxvt-unicode)
which comes installed in antix full and base. (Screenshot below)
–
My inspiration to see what urxvt could do came from the good people here at antiX, both in the old forum and new.rocking-urxvt-with-style/
This excellent post by rokytnji provides several pre-set urxvt options to choose from, including colors, and I’m placing the link here for people who don’t really want to manually change parameters, but would like different themes and such. Check it out!My starter template came from discovering BitJam’s post in the antiX archive here: reasonable-urxvt-terminal-defaults-font-and-font-s-t4420.html Nicely ordered!
–
–
Now, that being said, I wanted to dig a little deeper for myself. Learn a bit more, and create my own configuration. Might as well learn something while I’m here, right? This one now matches my other themes.
–
Changing the colors for Urxvt is not difficult. You can too if you want. See below for more about changing colors individually.
–
–
With the configuration below, Urxvt can:
–
Change the default window size.
Open links in firefox (or whatever) by mouse click.
Make those same links bold by default.
Change the font size on the fly.
Be able to use mouse clickable tabs.
control the psuedo transparency of the screen, to include fading, blur, shading, and tint color.
Change the colors to suit individual needs.
Change the scrolling behavior and whether or not to enable a scroll bar.
Adjust the keybinds to make life easy for terminal users.
Copy and paste is easy to do through the mouse. “Select” the text, and it is also copied. Use the middle mouse button to paste.
Plenty more weird and obscure things for you to discover.
–
–
A bunch of these options came with BitJams original template, with a bunch more I added on during my own search.
Bundles of information online, URxvt is well documented, with all the configuration settings I used coming directly from the arch linux forums. Most of the existing examples could be found there as well. (links at bottom)Below is a working configuration from which to make changes.
–
Working configuration to be copied into ~/.Xdefaults if you are so inclined. Piecemeal or whole!

If you want to know what each item is/does:
man -Pcat urxvt
–
This will pretty much show everything you need to know. The output is way too large to post here, but may be useful in your configuration.
–
–
As you can see, there are many many variables to play with.
Change the size of the font manually by adjusting the number associated with Xcursor.size:10 in the configuration, or see below for use of perl extensions.
–
–
You may wish to comment out the dimensions completely if you like the windows to be the same as when you last used them. An example would be calling a program
from within the terminal you like to keep a certain size i.e. Newsboat. I want it to come onto the screen large and ready to rock. Setting the window size with the menu option is the way to go.
–
Example menu entry for fluxbox:
[exec] (Newsboat) {urxvt -g 102x44 -e newsboat}
This opens Newsboat in a decent size window, while not affecting other instances of the terminal, or their dimensions.
–
–
The colors are easy to change with tools you probably already have.
–
IN order to edit the urxvt colors for your ~/.Xdefaults file using Geany, click on tools and open the color changer. Countless hours of fun/frustration can be had if your into that sort of thing.
–
In order for changes to take place while editing, use:
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
In a terminal to update the database, then type urxvt to open the changed version.
Keeping an instance of urxvt or of another terminal to update the database helps timewise.
–
If you have problems for some reason, you could comment out:! urxvt colours # include ".config/xresources.d/xcolours/antix.conf"–
This is located in ~/.Xresources
–
–
If you would like to tint the window as well, you should disable shading, and vice versa.
Just comment out:
URxvt*shading: 90
–
And un-comment:
URxvt.tintColor: #FF0000
–
The color FF0000 is a bright red. Left that to observe changes. Doesn’t come across bad though:)If you want to be able to change the font size on the fly, while inside the terminal, you will need perl extensions made for urxvt.
These handy little guys set up the code to do the tabs, change the font size, and open urls from the terminal.
–
Download the perl extension from here:
https://github.com/majutsushi/urxvt-font-sizeThe last commit was 2 Dec 2017 showing an active page. Six contributers, four releases, and a start on the project 4 years ago. Works for me.
Could put a note here about not blindly downloading stuff from the internet. There, I did.
–
–
unzip the file you downloaded into a New directory made specifically for the purpose of unzipping your downloaded file.
You really don’t want random weird files just floating around in $home.

Open the resultant folder and find the “font-size” file.
This file should be placed in ~/.urxvt/ext
–
Open a terminal and:
mkdir -p ~/.urxvt/ext
–
Place the “font-size” file inside ~/.urxvt/ext Done!
The rest of what’s necessary to use the perl extension is already in the configuration file above.
–
–
After this, you can control the font size with CTRL UP and CTRL DOWN
For the other key bindings, choose your own or look in the config above.
–
The support to use tabs has been commented out in the configuration because while perfectly usable, when changing the font size while tabs are enabled changes the layout of the screen.
Possibly a crossed keybind of some sort? Bug?
–
If you dont often resize your fonts and still want to use the tabs function, Comment:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: font-size,matcher
–
and un-comment:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: font-size,tabbed,matcher
–
This instructs urxvt to use the tab feature within the perl extension. When/if it goes wonky, just move the window a bit and it will readjust.
–
I haven’t messed with Tabbing menu colors that came with my template, and some of the numbered colors don’t seem to do anything, code or no.
I’m sure they will come out of the wood work when special situations arise. Numbers 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, had direct changes that could be observed.Here’s a few ways to place urxvt in your personal menu using fluxbox:
# simply opens a terminal window:
[exec] (urxvt) {urxvt}
# Opens another program:
[exec] (Newsboat) {urxvt -g 102x44 -e newsboat}
# Opens a terminal in root:
[exec] (urxvt-root) {gksu urxvt}
(Thank you skidoo) My line from 8 years ago was half a page wide;)These can also be combined with menu options. Check em out in a terminal first.
#arch wiki example for mplayer
urxvt -b 600 -geometry 20x1 -e sh -c 'mplayer -wid $WINDOWID file...'
#arch wiki example to make it look like an application launcher
$ urxvt -geometry 80x3 -name 'bashrun' -e sh -c "/bin/bash -i -t"
–
–
*Note If the screen will not stay at the requested dimensions/font size upon reboot, use:
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults &
Put this in your startup file.

That’s it! Hope all the info is useful to those that like to tinker.
Here are a list of resources I used to get the above configuration. Good reading:

cat /etc/fstaband
sudo parted -lin your next post. I have borked fstab on my own also before. I learned to make backups like so.
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backupBut, re-reading your post
How do I do this if I can’t even get the live system up and running?Looks like I don’t know how to respond right. I got by installing full iso AntiX 17 on my IBM T23 Pentium 3 thinkpad with a cpu with no sse2 support with the default kernel shipped. I had no need of a cli install. First I have heard of making a hand made fstab file during the install process. But I have not done a cli install since version 8.5. I also quit multi-booting things like Semplice, Puppy, Slackel, Salix, Vector, Zenwalk, among others because it confused me and I spent too much time on my gear troubleshooting. Vs using my computers.
I used to be a grub4dos expert.
So my take on your situation with crashes and stuff. Might be a hardware issue on older gear. Worn out so to speak. I have had the sense to sell off things like my IBM 390 or Net Vista desktop boxes. I keep a old Panasonic CF-48. A old IBM T23. A couple of single core Atom netbooks. Just to post on how I install AntiX on old gear. Then they get put away mostly.
Because I run daily on big beefy gear like this every day.

Sipping Dos Equis beer. Being off topic.
Don’t really know how to answerantiX-17 was working so well on my P-4 that I decided I would try to install this current version on my main P-3 system. This P-3 system (1 Ghz w/ 512 RAM) is currently running antiX-16 just fine and I had no trouble with the install of version 16.1. But when I tried to install antiX-17 I could barely get the live distro to load and the install crashes, even with the cli-installer. The system stalls on a “make-fstab” line and follows after several minutes with several “input/output errors”.
When I finally got to the command line I was able to log in as root. But when I tried to launch the cli-installer it gives me a message that it is replacing, (or making a new?) /etc/fstab. And it just dies there. The only way I can get out is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot. I have tried every option on the Grub launcher with the same results. I had the most success with the “Failsafe” mode to get to the live installation but the mouse wouldn’t move and I ended up using CTRL-ALT-F1 to go to the command line and reboot.
Because one minute. Everything goes whacko. But AntiX 16 running currently runs fine. Just wondering. Why not copy AntiX 16 /etc/fstab. Read it off usb on one of your other computers to make the /etc/fstab for the cli install?
Howdy and Welcome from the forum scooter tramp. Hope you find a better poster/answer than me.
Edit. Did you md5sum check your iso before installing?

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsIn reply to: Unable to boot CD with old Thinkpad
seaken64
Ok. Now I know, what Plop is. I could boot the antix-ISO with it. Antix runs fine on the old Thinkpad. But two things were not OK: it told me, that no sound-card was available and the driver of the graphic-card was neofb and not neomagic. The sound-card has been detected and the drivers were loaded as it should be (tried aplay -l/-L).
I know very well, what the Thinkpad is able to do – it runs very well with Puppy-Slacko and can even play DVDs and Mpeg-videos. Web-surfing with Firefox is very slow, because Firefox uses so much RAM, but surfing with Midori is fine.
I wanted to install antix on the harddisk, but antix forces to use 3.5 Gbyte for the system. That’s much, if the harddisk has only 6 GB. Why so much?
And that’s the reason, why I gave up on antix and am still searching for a up-to-date Linux-OS, which needs < 100MB RAM and < 2 GB harddisk.
Spielmops
So you got it installed? That is a P-II right? I also tried Plop on my P-III but could not get it to boot off the USB. I burned DVD and it booted. But it hangs and does not finish the install. Works fine on a P-4.
