Search Results for 'boot from iso'

[Member Some1]

That’s exactly what I mean, I’ve no issues playing the game, I boot it in an old computer but a partner wanna join me to play same game, its computer isn’t old enough to run 17.3 antiX or below (dunno why), but 17.5 and up it does, but flash player was removed since then (u already posted why).

The website has its own Windows client, there’s no appimage to run that game in Linux, if you’re Windows 11 user, u might b dealing with “S mode”, u can just skip it booting Linux distros. That why you can keep ur “Stupid mode”, I mean, “Secure mode” and play the game. I’m fine with Linux, I play the flash game and deal with documents in libreoffice (still if the menu show on squares).

And that’s the main story, my partner boot the antiX 17.3, hit the menu and then blank screen, “nothing happens”, 17.5 works but it has flash player removed, only 0.2 difference and it doesn’t boot under same iso burner and configuration. Now I’m going back to sacrifice my cybersecurity playing that game till they completely remove it just as other websites did.

This is a signature.

Positive: I see that the broadcom-wl kernel module (wl.ko) is built into the 6.1 antix kernel. Thank you. It works on my hp laptops out of the box without having to build and install an extra kernel module. This will save me a lot of time when I upgrade kernels on these machines.

A bug or am I doing something wrong:
I see this in alpha1 and now in beta1. After I do an isosnapshot and boot into that snapshot and install from that snapshot into the harddrive, the file:

/usr/share/desktop-menu/.icewm/menu-applications is empty.

So when I use the menu for applications, there is nothing there. To get around this, from the live medium from the original iso I copied this menu-applications file and copied it to the installed /usr/share/desktop-menu/.icewm/ folder.

Has anyone else seen this? Am I doing something wrong?

First of all, I’d like to thank all alpha1 testers.
This beta would not have been possible without your help.

Remember it is a *beta* so

Do not use this on critical systems.
The default Debian repos point to bookworm, but antiX ones to testing. This means Repo_Manager will not work correctly.
This will change to bookworm once the Debian hard freeze begins.
Not all localisation is complete.

Size of iso = approximately 1.6GB
Includes 2 kernels – 5.10 legacy and 6.1 ‘modern’
Defaults to zzz-IceWM ‘desktop’
Test it out.

Post any comments (positive and negative)
Help find and fix some bugs

Thanks

Get it here: https://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/Testing/
I will keep the file there for a few weeks, but then remove/delete it.

Added:

Is there anyone using a 64bit computer that fails to boot using the ‘modern’ 6.1 kernel?
If everyone(?) is able to boot using the 6.1 kernel then there is no need for 5.10 to be on the iso, right?

Many thanks anticapitalista and all involved. More after exploring and customizing tomorrow :-).

Nice, but that beta iso is going to be replaced in an hour or so.

Dear all,

I have just received a PNY sd card (UHS-II). I did not know this brand at all.
Its name: EliteX-PRO60
Capacity: 256GB (exfat formatting – in real 235GB)
Reading speed announced: 280 MB/s
Announced write speed: 180 MB/s
Purchased on Amazon.de (The Germans have the best prices in Europe in general. They are the best! This will please some people in the forum)
I paid 54,76 € (euros). This is a very good price for a UHS-II card (card with a double row of little gold teeth if you don’t know).

I just did a test on my Dell Latitude 5590 (I5-8350U – 4 cores) under Windows 10 with the CristalDiskMark software.

The results are very good.

I don’t know what to choose for formatting? xfs, f2fs, ext4…

Is there a command to know the boot time? I could make a comparison. I already know that with ext4 formatting, it’s much slower to clean the history in Google Chrome compared to f2fs formatting.

If anyone is looking for a UHS-II card for their smartphone, camera or PC, I think this is a good value for money. I wanted to share this with the antiX community. These cards have become faster than USB 3 keys.

Best regards,
Wallon

Xunzi_23, on this issue:

Regarding antiX 22 I am unsure when changes to something in the system or older kernel began to cause problems.

The kernel not supporting your graphics card is not your problem alone.

I know very well that Microsoft with each new Windows abandons support for various old devices. Likewise, NVidia, with its famous and expensive video cards, abandons support for several old devices or does not make its code available for use on GNU/Linux and BSDs.

In antiX specifically, we have technical support from many experts on this forum, even if you are a beginner. This situation does not happen in other GNU/Linux distributions.

For example, kernel 4.4 is the only one that works on several video cards from the Via and SIS brands that we have here in Brazil. In the not-too-distant past and here on the forum, Xecure has built 3 fully functional unofficial ISOs, among them the pseudo-antix-19 legacy bet3 com Kernel 4.4.0-264. The @ensabahnur, the creator of respin Pin Linux OS, was the one who guided me and taught me how to do each step of remastering ISOs from antiX 21 full with kernel 4.4.0-296.

I usually do the following sequence:

1 – I try to boot with the latest antiX.
2 – If it doesn’t work with the latest antiX I try the antiX of the previous edition.
3 – If it doesn’t work with antiX from the previous edition, I try the ISO Remastering antiX 21 Full in 32 and 64 bits with Kernel 4.4.0-296.
4 – If it doesn’t work with the antiX 21 remaster ISO with Kernel 4.4.0-296, I’ll try another even older edition.

Xunzi_23, sobre esta questão:

Regarding antiX 22 I am unsure when changes to something in the system or older kernel began to cause problems.

O kernel que não tem suporte a sua placa de vídeo não é um problema isolado seu.

Eu sei muito bem que a Microsoft em cada novo Windows abandona o suporte a vários dispositivos antigos. Da mesma forma a NVidia com as suas famosas e caras placas de vídeos que abandona o suporte a vários dispositivos antigos ou que não disponibiliza o seu código para ser utilizado nos GNU/Linux e BSDs.

No antiX, mais especificamente, nós temos suporte técnico de vários especialistas neste fórum, mesmo que você seja um iniciante. Esta situação não acontece em outras distribuições GNU/Linux.

Por exemplo, o kernel 4.4 é o único que funciona em várias placas de vídeo das marcas Via e SIS que temos aqui no Brasil. No passado, não muito distante e aqui no fórum, o Xecure construiu 3 ISOs não oficiais totalmente funcionais, entre elas, as ISOs pseudo-antix-19 legacy bet3 com Kernel 4.4.0-264. O  @ensabahnur, o criador do respin Pin Linux OS, foi quem me guiou e me ensinou a fazer cada etapa da remasterização das ISOs do antiX 21 full com o kernel 4.4.0-296.

Eu costumo fazer a seguinte sequência:

1 – Eu tento iniciar com o antiX mais recente.
2 – Se não funcionar com o antiX mais recente eu tento o antiX da edição anterior.
3 – Se não funcionar com o antiX da edição anterior, eu tento a ISO Remasterização do antiX 21 Full de 32 e 64 bits com o Kernel 4.4.0-296.
4 – Se não funcionar com a ISO da remasterização do antiX 21 com o Kernel 4.4.0-296, eu tento outra edição ainda mais antiga, está é a opção que me resta para impedir de jogar no lixo um computador que ainda.

Why use runit?
Runit’s simple collection of tools can be used to build flexible dependency structures and distributed systems, or blazing fast parallel runlevel changes (including the initial boot). Runit can be used as a simple process supervisor, see the #User Services for an example.Sep 23, 2022

@anticapitalista – re-reading the download page, I realized that the “Manual Download links:” section mixes the first few lines that are about Manual downloads but also a huge ammount of info about how to burn the iso to an usb stick, etc. Ideally, this should be divided into:

“How to create a bootable pen-drive with an antiX .iso” (followed by the text of the current ‘Manual Download links’ section, except the what are currently the first 2 sentences)
(extra suggestion: include here a call of attention to the default user and password and root and password in the Live Iso, just to hammer it down into newbies skulls)

and then

“Manual Download links:

Below is a list of worldwide mirrors available for downloading the antiX ISO images. Downloading from a mirror might be faster and more reliable.”
(followed by the list of download servers)

[Moderator Brian Masinick]

As far as GRUB instances go, I have five distributions right now on my Dell Inspiron 5558.
447.13 GiB is the size of my SSD; previously I had a 8 TB HDD, which had far more capacity,
but considerably less throughput. I could easily fit a dozen or more distributions on that
other disk; I don’t think I’ve done that on THIS Dell, but I’ve had a Gateway 17″ PA6A
“portable” (hesitate to call that beast a laptop) and before that I had a Dell Dimension
4100 desktop with two disks, and I definitely ran as many as three different styles of
OS at one time – Windows, Linux and BSD. I also experimented with a real time system
and a few oddball varieties, either live or isolated to the second drive.

All were “possible”, though a few were tricky to be 100% recognized by one another
with a single boot loader and that is where I had to get creative with chain loading
and other alternative boot loader methods. I don’t do that stuff any more; for those
who are interested in such things, you’re going to have to pick that up on your own
because it’s been between 15-20 years since I went that deep in that particular area.

I run win 10 & antiX dual boot, but on separate SSDs. I installed Windoze 1st & then antiX on the other SSD. Install Grub on the linux drive. I also use a shared 2TB external drive. Works great & I’ve had no problems updating either os. Oh yeah, I also use 128GB flash drive with Ventoy installed & a few .ISOs on it.

No. Different computers for different operating systems. Wife runs windows when I need something, rarely.

Used to multiboot linux distros like crazy.
Lost interest. Too much hassle.
I keep a few linux isos on file on every computer and on a external hardrive. They are there when I need a live usb to fix something.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problems

[Member stevesr0]

Hi olsztyn,

I just booted my live usb of the antix-23 alpha and I still don’t see Pipewire included in the package installer.

Was there a second release of the alpha? My version was downloaded 4 Feb 23.

I am ignorant about the antiX-23 Sid/bookworm version; I didn’t realize there are two versions of the antiX-23 alpha.

I would like to try that one; a pointer to the iso would be appreciated.

Parenthetically, have you tried running a YouTube music video on the alpha? It worked fine, but stopped when I switched to another page on the browser. That doesn’t happen in my old Sid install on my Fujitsu. Don’t know if it is specific to the difference in hardware or to the software or…

Hello verdy!

My first post to the forum should have been in [Welcome to antiX].　Also, I didn’t put my post to @Robin in [Reply].

No need to be sorry, really. We are glad you are with us.

On the contrary, it’s me who has to apologise, not answering already to your detection that in the transifex resource everything looks fine, while the bootmenu of antiX 23 still looks odd in Japanese language.

verdy wrote:

If you could direct me to another appropriate place, I will move there.

I would have done this already, but unfortunately I wasn’t able myself to find either the reason or another position. We’ll have to wait for @anticapitalista being back from being busy in real life (see: Posting #101722). I’ll describe what I did meanwhile, so you can learn some methods I commonly use to look up strings in such cases in the translation resources.

Basically, you can (mostly) always update your individual system immediately after editing the translation entries on transifex following these steps, (at least as long it’s about a gettext type ressource, readily identifiable by the file name endings .po on transifex. Download the file after editing:

Then on your local drive either install the GUI tool “poedit” (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install poedit), open the file within it, and save it. That sounds ridiculous, I’m aware, but actually poedit saves not only the file itself but an additional machine readable version of this file (with the file name ending .mo ). Then it’s enough to copy this very freshly created .mo file to the system folder /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES, you’ll need root privileges and you can do it on GUI using zzzFM file manager from antiX main Menu, section Programs → System (right click on the file, from context menu select the Submenu Actions → Root and there click Copy To. Select the folder mentioned as target.
Btw, you can further edit the .po file locally if you are not content with the results after checking the visible results, and upload it only back to transifex after everything looks fine, using the procedure outlined for download, but within the menu transifex provides (see screenshot) use the “Upload File” entry instead. (There is a console shortcut way to do all this, please let me know in case you want to learn it, then I’ll outline it also.)

After having outlined the procedure you can apply on all resources marked with the grey PO label preceding the resource name in this listing: https://www.transifex.com/anticapitalista/antix-development/content/ here some additional methods, handy at transifex:

There is a “search strings” function in the top transifex site. You can use it like this:
https://www.transifex.com/anticapitalista/search/?q=translation_text%3A%E3%83%A1%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC
This way you can check for all resources containing the very string. (you need to enter the proper search pattern descriptor preceding your (single quoted) search string. In the example the descriptor chosen reads “translation_text:’…’“, but you might also search for source strings using source_text:’…’ . You can apply all types of search pattern descriptors available from the pulldown menus below search entry field to refine the search. (please be aware: the search shows only 10 results per page, you can change this from the “Items per page” pulldown, or just stick to proceeding page by page through the search results.

With this background you’ll understand the reason why I didn’t answer before:
I wasn’t able by now to look up the respective .mo file for the live-bootloader resource from transifex within the /usr/share/locale/<lang_id>/LC_MESSAGES folder for any language, neither on antiX 23 nor on antiX 21/22. And also I wasn’t able to find out whether another transifex resource was used, assuming I’ve pointed you to a wrong place (I’m sorry for that, if it turns out to be true). There is a slight possibility anticapitalista has simply used an outdated language file resource for building the alpha testing ISO of antiX 23, and everything is fine hopefully in upcoming beta release already. We’ll have just to wait for a statement from him about this issue.
Btw, I can see from your screenshot: There are some stings untranslated still for you in antiX boot menu, above and below the Japanese strings you’ve marked. This needs to get fixed also, you are perfectly true.

In the meantime, you could check for missing translated strings on antiX desktop or all other places in system in your language.
If some translation is missing, please don’t hesitate to report here in this forum. We’ll help you best we can to make them work.

And now, please allow me another question, maybe you can help me find out how to decide. Somebody has asked on transifex for adding some Japanese sub-languages some weeks ago:

Project language requested: The Japanese (Hiragana) language was requested for the antiX-contribs project by Deleted User
Project language requested: The Japanese (Japan) language was requested for the antiX-contribs project by Deleted User

Since the user is marked as “Deleted User” on transifex, I can’t answer to him for asking whether there is a difference between Japanese and Japanese (Japan), so I could really need your assistance in this decision. Basically in the first place the two (or three) significant character (base) language ID like »jp« should be filled in, it will be automatically used for all languages with four (up to six) significant character (country specific) language ID like »ja_JP«. The latter only need to be filled in for strings which differ from entries present already in the two significant ID characters base language.
I believe jp_JP is identically to jp , so we don’t need jp_JP additionally. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.
And then about Japanese (Hiragana). Is this language used commonly in Japan or elsewhere? If so, we could add it if there are translators willing to fill in the strings in this language. I wasn’t able to find an online machine translator for this language allowing scripted access, and also Debian doesn’t to support this locale (you could check yourself reading the file cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED on your system, which contains all languages recently supported by debian). For all languages not listed there, debian would need to accept a request for addition, to have them available. Since I can’t read or speak Japanese language and don’t know pretty much next to nothing about the language, it would be a great help if you could make some remarks or suggestions about the question of adding these requested languages to antiX.

Many greetings
Robin

Why, an example from today, antiX 22, download, you get a list of mirrors, choose one nearby, get
a long list of choices and checksums. I am frequently asked, wtf is it all about.

Anyway, download full ISO antiX22 Runit, sha256sum checks ok, write to a stick and
boot, er no user chose modern kernel, Green screen comes up. Tries the whole proceedure again,
reward, next green screen.

Tries the kernel for older devices, gets a boot and desktop. Had previously read some docs so does
dist-upgrade. Remasters the stick, no errors shown. Time to reboot
right
Wrong, now both kernels fail modern with the wonderful greenscreen, the older says non lethal error
missing kernel modules for installed kernel, can chose c for continue, do so. X loop Crashes.

I have confirmed this myself, even with a second device I was unable to get the device working with antiX 22
unless I did not update.

Tested with my antiX 23 stick. and kernel 6.1.18-antix.1-amd64-smp, the Graphics are NVidia, GTX550TI a card
which was very popular and in this case neccesary as the guy has a CPU without integrated graphics.

I leave it to others to imigne the naughty words which bounced around the room.

Without a second computer and some help a situation where the user sees all the bad words about linux as being true.
I would not blame him for the belief.

On antiX 23 I had a similar frustrating situation, unable to boot to desktop until after a kernel update to 6 series.

If you have computer which is not capable boot from an USB and there is only CDROM or badly workable DVDROM, you can use antiX core CD for helping USB-boot (into USB must be antiX full installation files).

Advanced options F4 and there from=USB option.

Of course you can use boot managers like Plop.
