Search Results for 'boot from iso'

[Member kutaquinte]

Hi there I also had this problem happen to me but I found a solution (btw this solution might not be perfect but it allowed me to install antiX so follow it at your own risk).
What happened to me is that I used a tool to make a multiboot drive called “Yumi” (in windows) with the option “Try unlisted ISO (GRUB)”.
After inspecting the ISO file and the alterations made to my USB stick I found that the antiX folder was non existent so I just dragged and dropped the folder and it went fine.

PS: I know this answer is kind of late but I hope it helps someone in the future.

4.9 kernel should be smaller than 5.10.

I run a 4.9 64bit kernel on my chromebook which is newer than your d620. But I have antiX 19 64 bit full iso on the chromebook.

No problems with hardware on it and runs zippy. Only had to dial in the touchpad a little on the chromebook.

If 5.10 runs OK. I would not overthink it though. I’d just leave 4.9 installed as a backup for no boot when I choose 5.10 in grub menu and it fails to boot for what ever reason. .

Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problems

[Member Robin]

Hello PPC, Wallon and Brian,

I believe a good idea would be to clone-mirror your project to the antix-community repo at gitlab in a first step.
The second step would be to put the translations to transifex. Again, the correct place I feel would be antix-community-contributions at transifex, since this space is meant exactly for projects created and driven by people of community like yours.

I would have looked into it before, but unfortunately the upgrade from antiX 19 to antiX 21 makes me struggle much more and takes much more spare time than I have. Particularly the firefox update from 78-esr to 91-esr cut me off from web site access on antiX 21 only one day before christmas. (This was fine on 21 originally from ISO, so I was able to research and fix broken things from within antiX 21 until then) So from that day on I had to pause the work on transifex, since now I constantly have to reboot alternately to antiX 19 and antiX 21, which makes researching quite time consuming. So it doesn’t make sense to let the translation script run on the desktop files right now, since it needs some days of running undisturbed in the background. Will resume on this as soon as possible.

And as soon as I will have settled these upgrading quirks once on the machines I’m running, I’ll be back and can help with FT10 translations as best I can, together with all the others. It doesn’t count for me, whether I personally use it or not, there are many people out there who will use it. which is enough to encourage me to help. And it looks great. Good work, PPC!

Also I noticed that neither my aCSTV nor my automatic IRC hexchat translation script work on antiX 21 anymore, due to version incompatibility to upgraded versions of some helper programs. This also will take much time to fix, and also this will have to wait until I am back to normal state of working after the migration from antiX 19 to antiX 21.

So I hope Xecure will step in here and upload this FT10 resource to transifex. Marcelo does know quite well meanwhile how to prepare a bash script for transifex. So he could start to prepare it so Xecure needs to upload it merely. Also Xecure is the one who knows how to build an .deb package from the repo contents, so it can get installed by normal user by any package installer. I have never done this packaging myself, probably will learn some day.

Once there is an installable .deb package, it probably can easily get added to the lists of programs presented for installation by antiX graphical package installer, so new users will see it.

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

Hi. What software, and how can you make a bootable antix linux dvd. I need to install it to an old P4 PC.
Where can I download antix 19?
Thank you.

Hello oszkarvarso. We’re going to need more information.

You don’t tell us what you are using now – Windows? Linux? MacOS? other?

The others above have given you good clues on how to “burn” or “image” a bootable DVD. (I use ImgBurn on Windows as mentioned by Marcelo).

I have several Pentium 4’s. On all of them I am able to use a USB key drive instead of a DVD. I use a “Plop!” bootable CD, or floppy. Then I direct Plop! to boot from USB. Works like a charm.

But DVD does work on those P4’s that have a DVD-Rom.

Use the link on the top of this forum to go to the antiX Home Page, or the “Download” link, and follow the links to download the correct iso file.

I’m not sure of VMware but I use VirtualBox a lot. On VB I load the ISO from the virtual CD and then I run the “Installer” to install antiX onto the virtual machines virtual hard drive. After doing that I can “boot” the installed antiX and when I make a change the changes are saved to the virtual hard drive, just like on my regular hard drive installations.

Are you “installing” or just running “Live”. Also, if you install as “Frugal” you need to set persistence to save stuff.

The vesa driver actually goes up to 1600×1200 but my monitor don’t.

I tried it in live mode with antiX and deleted the parameters on the boot line but it didn’t work.

However after installing from the ISO snapshot on the second old PC, I noticed that the users menu options are restored to default

I haven’t retried your usage, so the following is just my speculations. I suspect that, since you chose to perform a full installation, new accounts would be created as part of the normal installation process, regardless of whether your ISO snapshot contains them.

In fact, I think you may want to consider a different approach. You could just use your customized ISO snapshot to create a Live USB, and then boot from Live USB i.e. without installation at all. This way, the live system may STILL contain those default accounts (such as “demo”), but the point is, most of the changes made during a live session would NOT be persisted (unless the user knows how to explicitly turn on persistence). Personally I would consider such a live USB still suitable to be given to kids to let them play and explore. (There are lots of documents on the topic of Live USB, you can start from there.)

Not Exactly a new user, but I love this distro that’s keeping my 2010 macbook usable.

Thank you and happy new year.

I’m using the full antiX iso and got the sysvinit live to stop freezing up.
I took out the pci sound card I had in it. Here is a shot of fluxbox-rox live on it.
On icewm-rox and jwm-rox, there is a slight lag in resizing windows, but quite usable.

today, I’m going to install on hard drive and see on it.

If you get screen artifacts add this to the kernel boot line it helps a lot.

[Moderator christophe]

This has been part of antiX for so long, and discussed so many times, that I fully understand why people are tired of rehashing it again.
I found myself thinking about it again, though, and I thought I’d at least point you in the right direction.

https://antixlinux.com/the-most-extensive-live-usb-on-the-planet/

This is on the front page of antixlinux.com. The toRAM option is a part of the live system (CD/USB/frugal-from-hard-drive/SSD).
Reading this article, you could take the base ISO (again, from live-usb, for example), and choose the “toram” option from the pre-configurable boot codes, to try it out.

The base ISO is (what?) about 800 MB or so. This will get copied to RAM, and then you’ll be able to test it out quickly.

There is much more to it, with many options, but those are tied to your configuration of the live system. You’ll have to play with it. But start there & see where it takes you…

confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019

[Member ydek]

Hi Linuxdaddy, thanks for the tips, with the image you sent, you were happy that i also managed to get resolution 1024×768.
I installed the version on the computer, version antiX Base 21 64 bits.
My motherboard is PCChips A33G.

It does run antiX-21-runit live iso at 1280×1024 resolution just fine on the vesa driver.
I deleted everything off of the boot line and hit enter.
I will test this tip by live mode with Iso antiX 21 Runit.

hi ydek,

Which version of antiX-21 are you running on original post?
My sis 760 motherboard is a 32-bit though and freezes on the antiX-21 sysv init live iso at
populating /dev

It does run antiX-21-runit live iso at 1280×1024 resolution just fine on the vesa driver.

I also had to use arandr to set the screen size.
The vesa driver actually goes up to 1600×1200 but my monitor don’t.
attached a screenshot of the hardware.

Also did you try pressing
control alt +
and
control alt -
to zoom the screen size under Xorg?

I hope these ideas can help you get your sis 760 to a larger screen size.

What is “pulling” and “isolating” a drive?
I’m not entirely sure, but a LiveUSB is a USB boot disk that allows me to try out an operating system without installing it, right? Except why would I do that if the OS is already installed?

To “pull” a drive is to remove it from the system, unplug it. In this case temporarily. It is a troubleshooting technique. It “isolates” the other drive since one of the two drives is not active. All software manipulations (troubleshooting activities using utility software such as gparted, the file manager, etc.) while in this condition will only be acting on the one drive.

Yes, part of what a LiveUSB is capable of is to “try” the operating system before installation. But in the case of antiX the LiveUSB is a fully functioning operating system all on it’s own and it is again “isolated” from the main system already installed on your hard drive. You can use all the same software and utilities on your hardware without having to “mount” the hard drive unless you want to. This allow you to troubleshoot the hardware without having the installed-to-hard-drive operating system active and in control.

But we don’t have more details yet, for example which ISO image you installed.

This is me: antiX-21 “Grup Yorum” released on 31 October 2021.

Hopefully that answers your question, since I have no idea how to figure out which ISO image I installed.
I know I see “Grup Yorum” when I boot up and I am definitely running antiX-21.
(Btw, is it pronounced “Auntie Ex,” or “antics”?)

Gracias for your help, Marcelo. The tip about running zzz-IceWM and using the Open Root Window option was very helpful.

I was able to determine that it is the SATA drive that is running antiX, and the IDE drive (sdb2) that still has Windows on it. So if I’m understanding this correctly – it is the Windows architecture / formatting on the drive that is making it hard to navigate to? Can I just format the drive to something linux-compatible and have that be the end of it? If so, how??? (I already backed up the IDE drive a long time ago, so I’m not concerned about losing whatever is on there.)

[Member seaken64]

Don’t worry too much about using gparted. You can just “look around” without making any changes.

If you use a Live USB there will be at least three drives and you can select each drive separately from the drop down list in the upper right. One of the drives will be your USB, the other two will be your hard drives.

When you install antiX the installer will give your partition a label. Look for the label that is named rootantix21 or something similar. That is on your antiX drive and you will be able to jot down the /dev designation. The readout shows sdb1 formatted as ext2. That is probably your antiX drive.

Next the Windows partition will be formatted in something foreign to Linux, probably NTFS, or maybe FAT32. That will be your other drive and it will also have a drive designation. Your readout shows “sdb2” is the old windows drive formatted in ntfs.

You can look at drive “info” for each drive to get an idea of it’s type.
Once you have looked around you can quit with no harm done. Just exit the program.

You could “pull” one drive at a time and boot from LiveUSB to isolate each drive. The physical label on the drive will also give you clues and you can search on the drive model number.
