        Eu não sei desabilitar o Conky da inicialização do antiX, eu acredito que possa diminuir ainda mais o consumo de memória. Você sabe em qual arquivo de configuração onde podemos retirar o Conky? O ideal seria que o Conky fosse carregado na memória se o usuário o abrisse, ao invés de ser carregado por padrão.

          a GUI application (GTK3) for configuring and customizing JWM:
          https://codeberg.org/JWMKit/JWM_Kit/
          (just pointing it out, cannot recommend it as I haven’t tested it)

          JWM Kit is a new set of software design to simplify usage of JWM (Joe’s Window Manager). In order to maximize personal customization JWM Kit focus on providing a graphical interface for editing menus, trays, groups, etc. No part of the kit is designed to run in the background. It only runs when the user starts it, and properly quits when “closed”, or for notifications will close when timed out in a few seconds.

          # JWM Kit is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

            A suggestion what you should try to do first is to install another kernel. My box with nvidia card boots with vesa with the 4.9 kernel and with nouveau with the 4.19 kernel. But it is also a more modern gtx 960 card, so it makes more sense. But it is worth a try.
            Or try a live-stick with the 4.19-kernel.

              I’m booting live antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso directly from HDD (via grub), just
              for familiarization purposes before doing an install.

              Noticed the following peculiar behavior, 100% reproducible on my setup.
              Wondering if anyone else can reproduce and perhaps diagnose. Summary:

              * With kernel ‘hostname’ parameter unspecified, bootup and shutdown behavior
              is normal.

              * However, if ‘hostname’ parameter is explicitly supplied on the kernel
              commandline as any value other than the default (“antiX1”), then
              both bootup and shutdown times become abut 10-15 seconds longer.

              Steps to reproduce:

              Case 1:
              * Boot from HDD iso with kernel ‘hostname’ parameter unspecified. Note
              elapsed time until full desktop appears (including icons at left side).
              * As soon as desktop comes up, start a ROXterm and do “sudo reboot”.
              * Observe nearly instantaneous bash prompt, followed quickly (1-2 seconds)
              by X shutdown and then the usual sequence of shutdown console messages.

              Case 2:
              * Boot from HDD iso with kernel hostname=foo.
              * Observe that it takes about 10 – 15 seconds longer to reach full
              desktop state than in Case 1. (In particular, the icons along the
              left side are delayed by “many” seconds.)
              * As soon as full desktop comes up, start a ROXterm and do “sudo reboot”.
              * Observe delay of about 10 – 15 seconds until bash prompt seen, then
              followed by X shutdown and usual console shutdown messages.

              My guess is that hostname != “antiX1” results in some sort of persistence-
              related squashfs activity, which fails and times out because squashfs is
              read-only on the live iso image.

              Anyone able to reproduce this?

                Hi there,

                I’ve been using LiveUSB without any persistence. My USB disk is relatively small (4 GB), with 1 GB already consumed by the boot iso itself. But since I store very few files in ~/Live-usb-storage, I never pay attention to its disk consumption, and things still work well. Today I encountered a “No space left on device” error when copying for example a 50 MB file into it, but then the following disk space check suggests I am supposed to have still 2+ GB available. How come?

                
                $ df -h
                Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

                In the first line of the above screen output, /dev/sdb2 is my USB disk. Those numbers are the same as GParted’s output (except rounding errors), although GParted also mention my sdb2 is also mounted to another 2 more mount points: /home/demo/Live-usb-storage and /root/Live-usb-storage (which shouldn’t matter here, should it?)

                And, my ~/Live-usb-storage currently contains only 513M data, which still matches the “Used” stat from “df -h” (because 1GB boot iso + 513M user data ~= 1.6G used).

                
                $ du -h -s Live-usb-storage/
                513M	Live-usb-storage/
                

                Where else should I look into to figure this out?

                UPDATE: Ah, it seems I run out of inodes. Now trying to figure out why that happens, and how to fix it…

                UPDATE 2: From what I found online, number of inodes are decided when the file system was created, and you can not change it afterwards. The default number would be disk size in KB / 16 KB. In my case, the 40320 inodes were supposed to be created for a 660MB disk (which would have been right), but my disk has 4GB. So, I don’t know whether this is considered a bug in the LiveUSB maker. Meanwhile, my workaround is to delete some less useful files from this LiveUSB disk in order to save some inodes.

                  shows the basics to running Ventoy.

                  Debian, antiX, and MX Linux are included in the list of supported distros, so that is a good start for me!

                    I found that there are some distros that do work on Exfat which is what ventoy creates as it’s default.

                    And some distros that don’t work on Exfat. And of the ones that don’t work on Exfat, some of them do work on Ext2.

                    The most common problem is that it is able to find the .iso and pop up it’s boot options, but then when it tries to boot, it can’t find something that it expected to find, and the boot fails.

                    On my machines I have troubles with mounting the ventoy partition. Automount causes troble. Adding to fstab causes trouble. Basically everything is trouble. It has to do with something else that I have installed, I think.

                      I couldn’t get anything to work. I spent too many hours/days trying. I had a few successful boots with Ventoy, but can’t seem to figure out why things worked vs what didn’t. The Exfmt is a nightmare for antiX. Automount can’t be left on. NTFS is trouble for many. So you end up with no easy way to mount the drive. Automount needs to be off. Nothing can mount the drive. But the worst problem is that no matter what format, most of the time you can’t boot from the ISO, even though usually the boot screen comes up. It always has problems finding the pieces of the OS itself half way through booting, and ends up on an initramfs error where it can’t find the medium. I tried Ext2, Ext4 and NTFS as well as Exfat.

                      That’s enough. I’m too exhausted from brain drain at work anyway.

                      It was a nice idea, but not ready for prime time.

                        I would like to create user accounts (for my different daily uses), which are; Underprivileged, isolated and standard.

                        By this I mean, when one is logged in to such an account, one cannot bring any systemic changes. The user can’t install software, can’t access the system except making subjective configurations for the desktop and application use. But one can access all the standard applications and not the system. The account is so isolated from other user accounts that even if a Trojan happens to get into one underprivileged account it cannot access anything or any data from other accounts and cannot access the system.

                        I am following this thread with great interest as this is something I was thinking of in the past. As originally described this would be great to have from theoretical perspective but IMHO appears to be quite challenging to accomplish in practice.
                        However from your later post I infer that the purpose of such distinction of entitlements is to actual use in practice rather than theoretical project, just to have dedicated setups for use such as work/banking/… etc., with their own security setups and entitlements, antiX is a unique OS that makes this easy to accomplish and to some degree I am actually using such concept in practice:
                        Namely:
                        Rather than looking at such task from a complicated and challenging setup of user entitlement, their lock-downs and application access, I have simply created separate Live USB keys:
                        – Separate keys for banking, system maintenance, multimedia, etc.
                        – Such keys are encrypted with their password. Separate passwords can be used e.g. for banking key than for multimedia, but in my case I am just one real user so I made the same password for all.
                        – Such separate live systems are configured to their requirements, so e.g. banking key has all the security configured to the max, such as firewall, browser security restrictions, etc.
                        – Once all applications and security/privacy setups are finalized for each USB key according to their requirements these USB keys are then set to have no persistence for banking key or to have some home persistence for typical work key. No persistence means no chance for rogue code or virus to make any permanent change. Should this unlikely happen during session – just reboot.

                        The reason I mentioned that antiX is a unique OS that make such task easy to accomplish in practice is that:
                        – antiX has all the needed tools already included and easy to use.
                        – Memory requirements are very low – USB keys can be used an any laptop
                        – Boots very fast from USB. Hard drives are optional.
                        – Mostly operates from memory so writes to USB are minimal

                        Just my two cents added to this interesting subject…

                            A third one that shows what was going on for a little while – Warren Woodford, the MEPIS founder, switched from Debian to Ubuntu repositories for a while, hoping to get easy to use, stable software. After a while with that “experiment, MEPIS – and antiX along with it, went back to using Debian software. (I used both, and didn’t have any problems with it, but this small window of time were among the “most unstable” of the MEPIS and antiX history that I can think of or remember):

                            antiX forum now available.

                            The one at MepisLovers is still open.

                            05 September 2007

                            If you have recently downloaded antiX-M7-beta2 and you want to install some kde app, you will find you cannot due to dependency problems. This is because antiX temporarily got ahead with gcc and cpp from Debian testing.

                            Easiest solution and an upgrade: Install aptitude from synaptic or

                            apt-get install aptitude (it will also upgrade apt and synaptic)

                            then

                            aptitude update
                            aptitude dist-upgrade
                            and agree to the first solution offerred.

                            You will then have a fully dist-upgraded antiX (to Mepis beta3) and you will be able to install kde apps.

                            Alternatively, after installing aptitude,

                            aptitude update
                            aptitude install libavahi-qt3-1
                            Or

                            aptitude update
                            aptitude install libssp0
                            You will not need to use (I hope) aptitude again.

                            Edit: It isn’t really a bug as such, but a feature to exclude kde 🙂

                            04 September 2007 antiX-M7-beta2 also now available from the MEPIS mirrors.

                            eg: download antiX-M7-beta2 here

                            For a list of changes from antiX-Spartacus and antiX-M7.

                            30 August 2007. antiX-M7-beta2 is available for testing.

                            This version has a few more applications installed, has been dist-upgraded to include all the recent changes in Debian Etch and Mepis7-beta2. A few extra wallpapers have been added and some files removed. antiX-M7-beta2 is 299MB.

                            At the moment get it from here: http://tomlinux.ca/testing using the following passwords.

                            user=antiXtester password=fluxbox

                            md5sum: f2b6466da0ac8ba17a4e282262074158

                            For those with antiX-M7-beta1.iso, you can use xdelta to add the patch_beta1-beta2.delta http://tomlinux.ca/testing/patch_beta1-beta2.delta It is 82MB.

                            Post comments, queries antiX forum on MepisLovers.

                            22 August 2007. antiX-M7-beta1 is available for testing.

                            This version is pretty rusty, has similar issues as Mepis7-beta1, but I’d like people to test it out and let me know what they think.

                            It is not yet available on the Mepis mirrors, I need some feedback before it gets uploaded.

                            antiX-M7-beta1 is about 280MB and is best installed to hard-disk, rather than used as a livecd (at the moment). Minimum 128MB RAM is recommended, though installed it should work well with 64MB RAM plus swap.

                            md5sum=5e38db8c554aa5f3171dfa930f8ac3c2 antiX-M7-beta1.iso

                            Edit: user=demo password=demo You cannot login as root! If you need to use root in a terminal, password=root

                            To exit from the login screen user=reboot password=root To shut down user=halt password=root

                            antiX-M7-beta1 is no longer available, antiX-M7-beta2 will be available for testing very soon.

                            03 August 2007. Work is starting on antiX-Mepis7. This will be based on MEPIS7 ie Debian Etch. Being based on the Debian repos will give developers and users much more flexibility.

                            09 July 2007. antiX goes final! With great pleasure, after a lot of hard work, I am pleased to announce that antiX final, code named Spartacus, is now available for download. (See link below and extra mirrors provided by MEPIS)

                            About antiX
                            antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install linux live CD distribution based on MEPIS for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the “Magic of Mepis” in an environment suitable for old computers. So don’t throw away that old computer yet! The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 64MB old PII 266 systems with pre-configured 128MB RAM to the latest powerful boxes. 128MB RAM is recommended for antiX. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue cd.

                            antiX-M7 will not run (yet) on older processors such as Pentium II (it seems that PII is ok), AMD K5, and AMD K6 as it uses an up to date i686 kernel. antiX-Spartacus should.

                            Anonymous

                              What If I delete all these and keep only the following list

                              In that case, the snapshot operation would never reach completion.
                              Consider:
                              sys/*
                              proc/*
                              ^——— these filepaths represent “virtual filesystems”, and their content (at least /sys/, I reckon) is generated dynamically, on-the-fly. Attempting to traverse and read the content of each subdirectory therein during snapshot operation will recursively (endlessly) generate further virtual subdirectories…

                              home/snapshot/
                              ^——— copies of any previously-generated ISO files output from snapshot operations reside here.
                              They are huge, and copies of ’em would needlessly be packed into the new snapshot ISO file.

                              re: “# Do NOT edit this entry block unless you know what you are doing”
                              The pattern (filepath) conveyed within each line of the default excludes list(s) for a good, sound, reason.
                              Various reasons. The 3 most common are: inclusion would cause recursion; inclusion would render the resulting image unbootable; inclusion would needlessly bloat the size of the produced ISO (contents of /tmp/ for instance)

                              var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
                              Maybe you have only a few, or a cumulatively small set of, deb files onhand and _do_ wish to preserve them within the snapshot, in order to avoid re-downloading them? (Will be later booting the system on a machine without internet access, for instance, and those /archives/ debfiles are packages which you tried, then uninstalled on THIS system but did not delete because you expect you’ll want to have them onhand when performing customizations to the system, later, on another machine.)

                              home/*/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*/thumbnails/*
                              home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache/*
                              Someone who has bandwidth-metered internet access may indeed wish to preserve copies of browser-cached files, but the DEFAULT represents the likelihood that one’s preference would be to “avoid needless bloat” (size of generated ISO, and time necessary to perform the snapshot operation ~~ compressing myriad extra files into it).

                              etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
                              Need to consider: If on THIS machine you have installed a vendor-specific driver, and you neglect to exclude it from the snapshot…
                              later you would be unable to boot the snapshotted system on a machine containing an AMD graphics card, eh.

                                Hi PPC,

                                first thanks very much for your feedback!

                                About the Applications menu button:

                                – the image is located in /usr/share/bento/lxpanel.

                                – The font used for this edition has for name “It wasn’t me”.

                                When you do a right-click on the applications button you can access to a menu “parameters of the menu”. And from there you can browse the files and choose another one: there is an image with just the cat head for example.

                                Also, you can create your own icon menu, using Gimp. Make a copy of the actuel menu image in a folder in your home, open it with Gimp, then use the “file create a new image” (choose transparent as an option) then you get a new image having the same size as the initial file, and you can work on a new version.

                                If you create a menu for portuguese and provide it to me, I can add it to the files in the system when rebuilding the next update (which is about to happen), or in the following one.

                                Applications near the Cat menu : you have to first install your language from the repos, (ie: using Synaptic package manager?) then if needed, do a right-click on one of the fast lauchers, open the first entry on the top of this right-click menu, and then remove and add whatever applications you want to the quick launchers near the applications menu.

                                Outdated icons : yes they are. I keep them for two reasons, there is a large choice of colors in this theme, it works a treat, and it is very complete, I don’t see icons missing in the menus. You have not tried that perhaps, but seeking for a new icon theme, installing theme, testing, takes looots of time.

                                On the other hand, if you want other sets, some are available in the repos, some are available at https://www.gnome-look.org, https://www.xfce-look.org, https://www.box-look.org, https://store.kde.org. Browser, download, install, test…

                                SpaceFM : just get it from the repos (ie : using Synaptic package manager).

                                The Bento Openbox editions are meant for end users, SpaceFM is a geek application, the simple users I know would not know how to use it. I don’t use it either, except when I boot a Parted Magic distribution ( https://partedmagic.com/) to detect things failing in a computer.

                                antiX:

                                “does not have the boot animation, displays the full text into (that may seem weird to some users)”

                                Package installer would be a great of easily build up the system to have almost anything most regular users could need…

                                boot animation uses computer resources, the intention with Bento antiX is to keep it as small and light on resource as possible. Some users will find it weird the first time, and the second time they will have gotten used to it (provided they get a good user experience during the session).

                                Package installer : I didn’t understand what you are talking about. Isn’t Synaptic not a tool good enough to install packages?

                                “You included some usefull scripts, but did not make them available in the menu, and also included scripts like Icewm Toolbar Icon Manager and fast menu editor that do nothing in your Desktop… ”

                                The scripts are small and don’t do harm to the size of the ISO, but so many launchers in the applications menu can confuse the simple end users. The more advanced antiX users who are used to them can easily restore them. I think all you have to do is dive into ~/.local/share/applications (hence, in your home) and remove the entry files (they contain an instruction to be kept hidden).

                                Icewm Toolbar Icon Manager : menu files for icewm, jwm and one more which originate from the official antiX edition will be removed in the next edition.

                                fast menu editor : which one are you talking about? Is it one for the lxpanel menu editor? Where is that? Or is it “obmenu” in the openbox right click menu on the desktop?

                                Next editions coming soon! Also I intend to remix a 64bits edition. Haven’t I seen one related to UEFI somewhere? Do you know if there is one?

                                Best regards,
                                Mélodie

                                  HOWTO: Basic Ratpoison Configuration

                                  This is a basic configuration, I haven’t learned all the tricks to it but i do
                                  know what works for me smile.

                                  Ratpoison (rp) is not for everybody, eye-candy, icons, title/taskbar are absent. It’s
                                  all business, uses every pixel of space and uses 1 MB of RAM. Apps are maximized
                                  by default. If you spend time comparing desktops with your buddies to see which is
                                  prettier, stop reading, this is not for you.

                                  Gamers, devs, and all sort of miscreants love rp.

                                  BIND KEY
                                  The way it works is: you press a ‘bind’ key plus another letter you
                                  assign to a package you want to launch.

                                  The default keybind (or bind key) is C-t (Control + letter t) but to me, it’s
                                  cumbersome and painful on the wrist or fingers. If you google you’ll find tons
                                  of material on ‘.ratpoisonrc’ or ‘ratpoison configuration’.

                                  Other examples of bind keys are: C-z, C-a, C-d …etc

                                  I found this article by Dion Moult which explains how to change the bind key to
                                  the Caps Lock (the key next to your left pinky finger). It’s a very good
                                  article, you should read it. It explains how to make the Caps Lock key your bind
                                  key.

                                  IMHO, the easiest way to configure rp is from another wm/DE you’re using at the moment.

                                  Create the file .xmodmaprc in your /home:

                                  $ touch .xmodmaprc

                                  Once created, enter it with favorite editor:

                                  $ nano .xmodmaprc

                                  And paste this:

                                  remove lock = Caps_Lock
                                  keycode 66 = F13

                                  Put xmodmaprc in your .xinitrc:

                                  $ nano .xinitrc

                                  Paste this:

                                  xmodmap .xmodmaprc

                                  LAUNCHING RP
                                  You can launch rp from your .xinitrc, here is mine:

                                  Example:

                                  #!/bin/sh
                                  
                                  setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
                                  xsetroot -solid black
                                  xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
                                  unclutter -idle 2 &
                                  numlockx &
                                  xmodmap .xmodmaprc
                                  
                                  exec ratpoison

                                  save/exit/reboot

                                  CONFIGURATION FILE
                                  It’s called .ratpoisonrc, so you create it:

                                  $ touch .ratpoisonrc

                                  Then you enter it:

                                  $ nano .ratpoisonrc

                                  You’ll notice is blank, then paste and post something like this:
                                  Here’s my .ratpoisonrc:

                                  HOW DOES IT WORK?

                                  To launch a terminal: press bind key (caps lock) and the spacebar, a white small square will
                                  appear , and the xterm (or whatever terminal you
                                  specify in .ratpoisonrc) will appear. Ditto for all the other apps.

                                  You want to abort in the middle of an operation? Bind key + Escape.
                                  Close an app? F4
                                  Want to know what windows you got open? bind + w
                                  Want to go to one of them? bind + the window #
                                  Want to launch dmenu? bind + d
                                  After every change ‘restart rp’ with: bind + r
                                  What time/date is it? bind + a
                                  Snapshot? press the key Print.
                                  You miss fbrun? Control key + Space bar
                                  If you want to split the screen horizontally: bind + s
                                  Vertically? Bind + S
                                  Go back to normal? Bind + q
                                  alt-tab as usual OR tap the bind key twice

                                  Play with it, it’s addictive.
                                  Happy trails,
