      So finally started testing with live USB…

      ———————————————————————————
      Background:

      Although I use AntiX as main system for everyday use, there are times when I need to use other Linux distros for different purposes; specially, or even specifically, for external works.

      Optical media (CDs/DVDs) have been decreasing in usage -and even discouraged-; having one USB stick for each and every Linux distro is impractical, and even feels kind of infamous, even if just a few of them. Solution? Multiboot USB.

      Of course there’s a number of tools out there to do this (YUMI, Unetbootin…), but I was wondering if there was by chance a more “native”, or “manual” way, to do this on Linux. Long story short, after searching, I eventually found this tool:
      https://github.com/hackerncoder/multibootusb
      Which is actually a script implementation of this
      https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multiboot_USB_drive
      Overall, Grub loopback devices are being used.

      It has worked pretty well for me. I agree with what the Arch Linux wiki mentions about the advantages and disadvantages; but at least *many* distros seem to work, and it’s only a matter of copying the ISO file(s). Other multiboot tools extract the ISOs contents, and even modify them sometimes. Not necessarily bad, but I’d prefer otherwise if possible…

      End of background
      ————————————————————————————

      So I tried Antix 19.4 x64 live system with this multiboot USB tool. Given that AntiX is listed in the tool’s mbusb.d directory, “it should be supported” as well. And yes, fortunately it worked, just needed to update some of the boot parameters a bit.

      It also uses the fromiso=* boot parameter, which according to the /live/README file present in AntiX live system (an excerpt here), is “deprecated, yet still supported”. Well, this is one good reason to still support it.

      Aside the obvious improve in loading speeds, booting from USB seemingly does not have this past issue at all for some reason.

      Once booted, unfortunately I noticed very similar issue as this past one; the differences being:
      –instead of an optical drive being forcibly mounted to /live/boot-dev, now USB stuff is forcibly mounted to /live/iso-dev (the USB partition), and /live/iso-file (the mounted AntiX ISO itself). I do remember these /live mount points are described at the very end of the /live/README file mentioned earlier.
      –unlike the optical drive case, neither iso-file nor iso-dev can be normally unmounted! Thus cannot freaking unplug USB stick!
      Unmounting iso-dev from SpaceFM gives same error as if attempting to unmount /live/linux:
      udevil: error 68: cannot stat '/live/iso-dev'
      Unmounting iso-file:
      udevil: error 55: cannot find '/live/iso-file' mounted in mtab

      Hell, I have to use sudo umount from command line, and first unmount iso-file, then iso-dev; otherwise iso-dev complains that “target is busy”.

      Some possibly useful additional info:

      Ok, sdb2 is actually not a problem at all, and I don’t attempt to unmount /live/linux, but, both /live/iso-file and /live/iso-dev are being used to mount USB drive’s stuff, so in the end I need admin user to simply unplug the drive, even when I’m using boot parameter “toram” to boot AntiX. Is all of this also expected? WTH?

      Thanks beforehand.

        EDIT: I’m editing this comment from the live-usb environment of antix! It booted successfully!

        That is great!

        Linux is different in that it includes most of the drivers needed for your hardware in the kernel. Every new kernel release includes support for new devices (like intel 11th generation CPUs, new AMD graphic cards, wireless devices, new storage device technology, etc.), but after some time support for old devices is dropped. As antiX is aiming to work on most computers, including ones released before the 2000s, it comes with a Legacy kernel. Newer computers have been a bit of an issue with legacy drivers, so the new hybrid kernel release was devised by the amazing developers here to try to give a bootable ISO for as many systems as possible.

        Thanks for testing it out and confirming it works.

          I understand. I will try out the beta2 iso just to see if it works and I’ll probably edit this comment to post the result. Thanks a lot for your quick reply!

            Hi!

            I’m trying the installation on a modern uefi laptop (dell inspiron 5480)

            If I am not mistaken, you need a 5.X version Linux kernel to support this CPU (intel 8th gen iX), so it will not launch the graphical interface on antiX with the legacy 4.9 kernel (which has better support for older hardware, but no support for new hardware).

            antiX 21 (should release at the end of the month) has a new live technology with dual kernel support (you select the kernel edition in the boot menus), and comes with LTS kernel 5.10 which should work for your hardware. You could try the beta 2 ISO or wait a bit for the Release Candidate to come in the next few weeks. I would recommend you try the beta2 just to confirm that it boots properly with Modern kernel 5.10, and so you familiarize yourself with antiX live system before you install the final release.

            Regards.

              Perhaps we will get an updated live-usb video soon. But in the meantime, just dive in. The water’s warm & not too deep. 😉

              0. Make the full-featured live-usb from your installed antiX system. (There are ways to do it if one doesn’t have an antiX installation, but let’s not muddy the waters, here. Use an antiX 19.x ISO file for the USB, since this is the latest stable release as of this writing. Menu setup may be different in the upcoming antiX-21 release.)

              1. Just boot it via a UEFI bios.

              2. Follow through the EASY text menus — It’s only a 1-time thing, until you want to change settings. Set your time zone, persistence type, etc. (I recommend for you what Xecure likes, dynamic root persistence — listed as ‘persist_root‘ in the selection menus.) If you don’t know what to choose on something, just use the default.

              3. At the end you make the choice to save the settings. These will then be default until you change them again. EDIT: It’s the default choice, at the end of the text menu choices. (Now, it has to be a “full-featured” live-usb for this saving option.)

              (See, the water is warm, after all.)

              4. Boot into the live system. Play around a bit. Make wallpaper or desktop changes. Maybe install something new.

              5. When you decide to reboot or shutdown, a pop-up window for live-persistence asks you, “Shall we begin?”

              This is where you decide if you want to keep the changes you made, or not.

              (The water was not so deep as you thought, right?) 🙂

              The idea is to just jump in. All you are risking is the (new) data on the live-usb. You can always wipe it all out, if you want, and have your usb stick back to normal, too.

              EDIT: (And the things moddit wrote about are what I’d term “advanced.” We can talk about those after you have been in the water, so to speak.)

              6. Tell us how it goes.

                Why would I want to boot in Legacy mode? Why can’t I have the same options using UEFI?

                Try the antiX 21b2 ISO, which has improved UEFI menus. I think NO live USB Linux distro has as advanced live system as antiX Linux does.

                Performance depends on read/write of your external device. There are lots of persistence options depending on your needs. I prefer dynamic root persistence (all changes are stored in RAM and saved at the end of teh session). It makes booting and shutdown longer, but the live system responsiveness is amazing.

                If you are using a external USB 3.0 device and connect it to a USB 3.0 port, then the experience using static persistence is almost the same as installed (no longer long boot and shutdown times, and changes are saved as soon as they happen), all this thanks to the fast read/write speeds of USB3 technology.

                Some prefer to have it frugally installed (meaning that it copies the live system to an existing internal partition, without formatting, stored in a folder), and boots from it, which is like loading an installed system. You can select to use persistence with the frugal install, so it is like running installed (live, with changes saving in the persistence files) but without formatting the partition, and all changes are being saved into a folder instead (which you can remove whenever you want or move the files back to live USB and take it with you).

                It has sooooo many possibilities that it makes it a bit complicated to configure, as there are so many choices.

                Explore a few topics related to Persistence or Frugal install to better understand what all the fuss is about, or simply choose one of the live options and forget about it.

                  Quick way to test your F1 Help document in Virtualbox.

                  1. Download this file antiX-Gfxboot.tar.gz
                  2. Decompress the file
                  3. Download/test your translated .html file by putting it in Help/antiX folder.
                  4. Rename it en.html (yes, overwrite the old file).
                  5. cd antiX-Gfxboot and
                  a) make distclean
                  b) make test-antiX
                  This will create an iso file called test-gfxboot.iso
                  6. Boot this file in Virtualbox, press F1 and see how the translation is.
                  Esc to get out of the Help menu and Esc again to Poweroff VBox.

                  Each time you test a translated file, you must do steps 3-6.

                  Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

                    Installed/reinstalled

                    lib32stdc++6
                    libc6-i386
                    lib32gcc-s1

                    Seems something was wrong with the 32 bit support.
                    Brother MFC-J drivers are 32 bit.

                    Can Print at last, only problem now is how to autostart cups on live boot

                    Good you found out what was needed for the driver.

                    Story mode [ON]
                    Printing on linux was always difficult for me. Every time I tried on antiX 19 I just gave up and booted into the Windows partition to connect to the printer (that even had trouble installing the drivers in Windows), and got to print from there.

                    At the end of last year or beginning of this year (I am nt too sure), I decided to give it a try again on the antiX 21-alpha. At that time I was heavily exploring runit, and anticapitalista had done all the heavy lifting. I decided, after reading a bit more on how to enable/disable start/stop runit services to give it a try. I was amazed how easy it was this time to print. I enabled cups service, I went to the Control Centre > Hardware > Print Settings, explored a bit and added the printer there, changed the LC_PAPER locale variable to use the ISO standard of paper (A4 size instead of “Letter”), and printed without a hitch! I was expecting lots of trouble but it was sooooo easy. I was really surprised and now, just a few days ago, I was able to scan and print legal documents much faster and easier than how I did on Windows.
                    Story mode [OFF]

                    For me, this antiX release is the best yet (though I only have experience with antiX 17 and 19, and really cannot compare to past releases), and I am fully invested in the runit init.

                    runit release has gotten so many improvements compared to antiX-19

                    any “real life” benefits compared to SysVinit?

                    I don’t know if this can be considered “real life benefits”, but runit services are waaaay easier to manage compared to sysvinit ones, the boot speed is great (for multi-core CPUs it makes a difference), and the easiness to create user services (I thing I was never able to do with syvinit) makes runit a winner for me.
                    Probably these kind of things aren’t what the average user will notice, so not exactly “real life benefits”.
                    Still, even though I say it myself (and have what we call here “creator blindness”), I think the runit-service-manager GUI makes it easier to control and reduce the running services compared to how it was done in sysvinit (though now that I understand services better, I think managing sysvinit services isn’t that difficult either).

                      After updating the command “sudo apt upgrade”, all programs listed were installed, except: libreoffice-l10n-pt-br and libreoffice-help-pt-br-l10n. When I opened the program again, only LibreOffice translations remained in the list. I tried to reapply both translations, the terminal window opens, displays the list of programs to be installed and then the window closes.
                      Most of the first level menus have been fixed for pt-BR, except some of the IceWM Settings menu and the Personal Menu Help Video menu. Correction of first level menus did not occur in JWM and Fluxbox.

                      Após a atualização do comando “sudo apt upgrade”, todos os programas listados foram instalados, exceto: libreoffice-l10n-pt-br e libreoffice-help-pt-br-l10n. Quando eu abri novamente o programa, somente as traduções do LibreOffice permaneciam na lista. Eu tentei aplicar novamente as duas traduções, a janela do terminal abre, exibe a lista de programas a serem instalados e em seguida a janela fecha.
                      A maioria dos menus do primeiro nível foram corrigidos para pt-BR, exceto alguns do menu Configurações do ICeWM e do menu Pessoal Menu Help Video. A correção dos menus do primeiro nível não ocorreu no JWM e no Fluxbox.

                      For now, that’s what I managed to test, I plan to do more tests next Saturday.
                      Por enquanto, foi o que eu consegui testar, eu pretendo fazer mais testes no próximo sábado.

                      Grateful.
                      Grato.

                        Hi guys, a new poster here. I’m a long time user of antix, I’ve been using it on my laptop for years and now I wanted try it out on my main PC. I loaded up the iso using Ventoy but X is not starting and stuck on bootscreen. Probably the nouveau driver is too old for my GPU (3060ti)? How can I load up X, coz I wanted to install antix so bad haha.

                          I watched your video. Yes, I see the nvidia error, but caprea said not to worry about that above. After that it booted just fine, and the desktop came up as expected. I don’t know why you think there is a problem.

                          From the control centre you can make an ISO snapshot of your system (including your programs and data) and use Live USB Maker to write it to a flashdrive, and then you can boot that flashdrive. You could use that flashdrive as a backup.

                          That doesn’t answer your “nvidia drivers” question, though, but sybok gave answers to that for you. antiX comes installed able to work with many nvidia cards, but if you want maximum performance for playing high speed games, installing proprietary nvidia drivers might help, but at a cost of a lot more complexity, to install it.

                          Here is what I used for a web browser search string for your nvidia question

                          geforce gtx 650 linux antix mx debian buster nvidia install

                          I also run a laptop with the high end nvidia (Dell XPS 15-7559), but I just use the drivers that comme installed with antiX for my video.

                          If you like Win 10 better, its ok, just go back to it, or try something else, like MX, Ubuntu, Debian, or PopOS like Xecure suggested. antiX runs on the newer hardware, but it isn’t intended to be fancy, just fast and functional.

                            Of course, I did not make a copy, because it was a sad experience, A-N-T-I-X
                            I created a copy (snapshot) there through a pre-installed utility
                            and this copy, for some reason, does not open the graphical interface, the terminal menu with the entry only
                            Therefore, I am very upset that Windows is easier for beginners
                            What do I do to backup Windows 10?
                            acronis
                            – select the section with Windows
                            and choose my second hard drive, on which I have all the files, music, pictures!
                            And acronis does NOT format my second disk, it just creates a file there, with a copy, in its own format!
                            And then, I just boot from the flash drive, choose where my copy is (second disc, next to the music)
                            and choose which partition to restore to, and that’s it, Windows is immediately ready as soon as the restoration is over
                            and in Linux, through ATiX-Linux, for some reason, even after installation, a terminal window …
                            Through long agony, I realized
                            it is necessary to specify the download parameters during the download to the USB flash drive where the snapshot is located:
                            load=nvidia xorg=nvidia – to recovery from snapshot iso.
                            – and after all, in advance, no one said that it would be necessary to do this.
                            why there were no clues …

                            maybe my iron does not pull VL C
                            however, all other players, the same SM-player
                            or iina – they work perfectly!
                            tell me, is there no way to put iin on linux now?
                            without using – installing a mac os, as a virtual machine on Linux?
                            I would like something like wine, just to start the software, for OS X
                            there is no such thing?
                            after all, in fact, this is probably realizable?
                            it’s a player, not a “game”)

                            i have i3 550 x64 bit
                            gtx 650 1GB

                              Do you know if it is possible to upgrade my Kernel to the latest stable without breaking antiX (maybe they have better driver support from my ssd)?

                              You could install any liquorix kernel, or the latest stable from MX linux/Debian, and always go back to the previous is it doesn’t workout.

                              I am not sure if this will help with the specific issue, but installing kernels has never given me any irreversible problems. I once tried installing 5.X on a bit older machine, and couldn’t boot (kernel panic), but you simply select a different/older kernel from Grub’s advanced options, boot into a working system and uninstall the problematic kernel.

                              Well I had to install 5.10.57 for antiX to recognize my SSD, otherwise I wouldn’t bother uprgrading the kernel (but I figure it’s an easy fix if it improves anything).

                              How would I install stable (5.14)?

                              I can’t find any MX Linux or Debian kernels for it — do I have to download an ISO & extract them or can I just download & install 5.14 from a site? Do I use a tool?

                                Hey guys.

                                I need help with the text:

                                The min-prefix, however, boots the selected window manager with the least amount of additional bells and whistles.

                                Is there another way to explain about window managers that has “min-” prefixed?

                                Automatic translation of “with the least amount of additional bells and whistles.” doesn’t make any sense in pt-BR and I can’t explain correctly what this is about?

                                Is it correct to state what I understand about the “min-” workspaces I described in the text below?

                                “The min- prefix, however, initializes the selected window manager with the least processing and memory consumption
                                RAM possible.”

                                After testing by Anticapitista and Xecure, both confirmed that it is not necessary to use HTML accent codes in Latin-derived languages. If you are translating directly into the HTML file, just type text normally as if you were writing in Transifex or LibreOffice Writer.

                                Grateful.

                                The min- prefix, however, boots the selected window manager with the least amount of additional bells and whistles.

                                Existe um outra forma de explicar sobre os gerenciadores de janelas que possui o “min-” como prefixo?

                                A tradução automática de “with the least amount of additional bells and whistles.” não faz sentido algum em pt-BR e eu não sei explicar corretamente do que se trata isso?

                                É correto afirmar o que eu compreendo sobre as áreas de trabalho “min-” que eu descrevi no texto abaixo?

                                “O prefixo min-, entretanto, inicializa o gerenciador de janelas selecionado com o menor processamento e consumo de memória
                                RAM possível.”

                                Após os testes feitos pelo anticapitlista e o Xecure, ambos confirmaram que não é necessário utilizar os códigos de acentuação HTML nos idiomas derivados do Latin. Quem estiver traduzindo diretamente no arquivo HTML, apenas digite normalmente os textos com se estivessem escrevendo no Transifex ou no LibreOffice Writer.

                                Grato.

                                  Explore and use antiX and Linux tools. There are plenty which work reliably, i can not say that for
                                  those provided by or for windoze which I have a lot of negative experience with. Win 7 was fine, 10 a
                                  barrel of flashy spyware. It fits the definition of a trojan perfectly.

                                  antiX has all the tools included to Write a bootable media from an ISO, a remaster toool to,
                                  Make an ISO which you can install to a a live USB Stick from an installed customized system.

                                  A remastering tool for Live USB Stick. Meaning you can have your system with you anywhere, and restore
                                  by reinstalling a tested known working copy that inckudes all customization within a few minutes.

                                  My personal preference and reccomendation is to create a customized USB Live System, from which you can
                                  restore at any time. I have also used Time Shift on numerous systems. It works fine.

                                  I no longer ever have Windoze and Linux on same drive with any system I support, I never write to a
                                  windows system directly from Linux, I use a partition with ExFat for transfer so there will be no issues
                                  with windoze.

                                  Better than all those solutions is to boot from a live USB or Flash card (Better Life from Flash Card).

                                  My users were frustrated due to the fact that Windoze kept messing up the
                                  Linux system AND transferring data to NTFS Filesystem caused a lot of issues.
                                  Since we changed our method I have had no complaints for months.
