[Member manyroads]

@anticapitalista I have just completed re-tests of both the x64-core-sid 19.2 antiX isos. They both hang (freeze) on initial LiveUSB boot at the following instruction:

waiting for /dev to be populated…

There is no further progress from this step and the machine needs to be crashed in order to restart.

Do any of the sid versions boot?

I don’t have an antiX 15 system to test with anymore.

My theory was that it looks like the process of creating the snapshot back in antiX 15 had problems.

Therefore I suggested to maybe try booting from antiX 19 flashdrive or dvd and use the current software to create a snapshot of your antiX 15 system, and then burn that snapshot to a DVD or Flashdrive.

I was wrong. I looked and the iso-snapshot can only take a snapshot of the current system.

I’m sorry, maybe someone else has a better suggestion.

Could you explain please why you are trying to boot from an ISO of antiX 15, in case someone knows another way to accomplish what you are trying to do?

BobC, if I want to create iso snapshot of antiX 19.2 I do so, and did not write here about 15.

I try to create iso snapshot of antiX 19 and I have a similar problems.
I do normal install of antiX 19 to HDD, there was no any problems or errors during install and later.
Then I install few Apps through “Package Installer” in Control Centre.
That’s it, I didn’t do anything else. Then I run “ISO Snapshot” from Control Centre, enter root password…
And run ISO Snapshot with default settings, chose “resetting accounts”.
There was no any errors, was done successfully.
And then I burn ISO to DVD with verify option enabled, was done with no errors as well.
But when I boot from DVD it was problems with main menu – many entries where missing, in Applications menu there was only antiX entry.
When I try to boot with toram option, it was error during boot process:

Will copy files from /live/boot-dev/antiX to /live/to-ram/antiX
 Error: cp: can't stat /live/boot-dev/version: No such file or directory

It boots anyway, but with this error.
What I am doing wrong? How to fix this errors?
Little assistance here?

I can’t believe it, because it works!

What I’m noticing:
– why are you using a pae-kernel in Debian and not the antiX19?
– why does that mean Debian and your 40_custom entry use the same boot device?

Because, you are not starting Debian at all, but the Rescatux-ISO…

Is it a new antiX 19.2.1 base or is it your special remaster?
What CPU and GPU are you using?
Some new computers will only boot with newer kernels, you could try the 4.19 kernel
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/Final/antiX-19/4.19_kernel/antiX-19.2-4.19_kernel_x64-base.iso

Let us know a bit more about the computer.

Hi.
Maybe you had bad luck.

No sound, no speaker in toolbar,

On most of our systems sound works out of the box on antiX.
On vanilla antiX 19 (full or base editions) you should be able to see volumeicon in the systemtray. I have it in mine (also fluxbox).

What version of antiX are you using? Is it live or installed? What modifications have you made? Have you imported your own .fluxbox folder with your own configurations (missing systemtray in your ~/.fluxbox/init)? Are you using a separate /home partition with your own configurations (missing ~/.desktop-session/ folder)? Can it be that your fluxbox theme is so dark that the volume icon cannot be seen?

volumeicon is launched on startup (you can see it in the ~/.desktop-session/startup file). You may also add it to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file if your /home folder is customized.
volumeicon &

If volumeicon is working but your sound not (and it is not muted), you can go to the Control Center to choose your soundcard and make sound tests.

If you are used to pulseaudio (antiX uses ALSA as default because it is lighter), you can install it yourself

Getting pulseaudio in your system:

1. Installing pulseaudio:
Open a terminal and execute
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol

2. Make pulseaudio launch on startup
Edit startuo file
geany ~/.desktop-session/startup
Add a line that launches pulseaudio

#launch pulseaudio Daemon on startup
pulseaudio -D &

Save and exit

3. Making volume-icon use pulseaudio (and manage volume and properties)
right-click the volume icon in your systray and click on Preferences.
Have External mixer execute pavucontrol. It originally says:
External mixer desktop-defaults-run -t alsamixer
Replace it with:
External mixer pavucontrol

Reboot your system.

Worst case scenario, the iso you downloaded is corrupted. Did you do a md5sum check?

No live movie, no java

What is “live movie”? Media player? Video streamer?
There is no documentary about antiX linux (as of yet).

java? You can install it! (not recommended except needed)
Install it from synaptic, antiX package installer, apt…

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.

Hi. I tried to boot the live iso with the toram option, but it fails and prompts me to reboot or continue normally, so I continue and after installation is complete I add the parameter to grub, but it never works, nor does it return any errors, it’s as if it’s completely ignored. I tried this on several machines, all with the latest 19.2 release, same results all the time.

[Tutorial: Using Cine instead of ConnMan to get online]

Note: This procedure is intended for base-ISO users. Removing connman is not recommended in the full-ISO.

Boot up antiX. When you get to the main desktop, enter these commands in a terminal:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove connman -y
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf #probably got removed on line 1 above
sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo killall wpa_supplicant

Now click on Cine from the Control Centre, Network, and select “Reconfigure wlan0”. Click on “Scan”, choose your network from the list, then enter the pre-shared key, and click on “Accept”. Click “Accept” again, and run-parts will bring up your network. Click “Exit”, then close Control Centre.

Test your connection with

ping yahoo.com

or some other way, like

sudo apt-get update

The next time you bootup, if you’ve enabled persistence, you’ll already be online! I had to reconfigure one extra time before the persistence “kicked in”. Let me know how this works for you.

Next time please say what version you are using and what you are running it on if you are having problems to make it easier to help.

I downloaded a fresh copy of https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/Final/antiX-19/antiX-19.2.1_386-base.iso/download and loaded it to a flashdrive using Live USB maker from Control Centre Disks tab.

I booted it, took the defaults and the IceWM desktop came up. I right clicked the Network Icon at the bottom on the taskbar next to the Volume icon. I left clicked WiFi on and Wired off. I then left clicked the Network icon and held it down, and in a few seconds the scan list came up. I moused up to my connection and let go, and the password prompt came up. I left clicked into the box, typed in the password and clicked Apply, and it connected.

Maybe that will work on yours, too…

PS: I looked at ~/.desktop-session/startup and it runs connman-ui-gtk to put the network icon in the tray. When 19 was in Alpha I had troubles trying to do it all manually, and since connman was pretty efficient memory wise, I switched to always using it. I can’t help with the manual route on 19.

I see it removed it on your screen shot.

I wonder if you could boot from a new antiX19.2 flashdrive and use it’s current level iso-snapshot to make the file and burn it to a 2nd flashdrive?

I want to make iso-snapshot of antiX 15. First problem was that when I run it, it can not find live-init-antix in repo, I manually found and install live-init-antix_0.8.0_all.deb from one of the mirror repo. And it run and everything looks fine, was successfully end process.
But when I burn ISO, was a problems in boot process, and error when it boots. In result – some things not working.
Here is live-init.log

Just to be sure, I downloaded a fresh copy of antiX-19.2 at https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/Final/antiX-19/antiX-19.2_x64-full.iso/download and booted it up from flashdrive, clicked the eth1 monitor window (3rd one to the left of the date on the bottom status bar), and that brought up connman. I turned wifi on. The scan list came up. I clicked the wireless tab. I clicked the router I wanted to connect to. I clicked connect. I typed in the password. I clicked ok. It went online and works.

PS: i was typing when you posted that. Hopefully you will get it working ok.

anticapitalista posted fixed ISO files for a WiFi problem, so I would suggest making sure you are working from the fixed one, and follow his instructions.

Myself, I boot up and immediately connect with the connman version, turn on wifi, which maybe unblocks it, i don’t know, and then when i see the scan list, i click to connect to it, etc. I had troubles when I tried it with ceni. See threads by AABB on the subject.

[Member stevesr0]

thanks all.

I use antiX partly because I don’t want to use systemd. As a perennial noobie, I was interested in enlightenment about the virtues of different inits.

So far, I have learned that in addition to being the initial and initiating process, an init is also potentially a “services supervisor”. I only have a vague notion of what that means, but it seems a pretty important role all the time a computer is being used, rather than only at boot time.
