Since antiX uses eudev (thus libeudev1) and not udev (libudev1), try

sudo apt install libhidapi-hidraw0

I am aware eudev replaced udev in non-systemd operating operating systems, and I was surprised libudev1 even appeared as a dependency, instead of libeudev1 (and being new to antiX I didn’t touch repos, left them at default). Apparently I am missing something here… why cli-aptix pulled libudev1 while sudo apt install did the right thing?

Anyway, libhidapi is now installed thanks to anticapitalista’s hint. However, that didn’t solve my problem. I still don’t get it… Every other device connects to the radio via Bluetooth – but not this computer. With Blueman the device is found, it is paired, it is trusted, everything seems fine – but connection fails. It looks like my old-school ancient cellphone does support the protocol needed but not the computer. I am assuming a library related to this specific bluetooth connection is missing. I looked elsewhere before posting here, and I didn’t find anything.
If I find a solution, I will post it here, in case someone else would ever have the same problem.

Hello Brian and olsztyn,

Thanks for getting back with me quickly.

Good call on trying antiX 21 live. It does the Bluetooth file transfer OK.

I installed antiX 19 on a spare PC, and (as expected), it does the file transfer OK too.

Here’s what I have:

All of the distros that I tried worked OK, except for the installed version of antiX 21. The distros that work are (antiX 19[installed and live], antix 21[live], MX Linux 21[installed and live]).

Digging a little deeper, I found that all of the distros, except the installed antiX 21, had the file “/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service”, as suggested by the error message when the PC to tablet transfer failed.

Apparently, there is some part of the OBEX service that doesn’t get installed when antiX 21 is installed.

Update #2.

Two working as noted above, third on (Fujitsu running Sid) still can’t get simple-scan to connect to the scanner, although the model is detected.

Peculiarly, simple-scan runs faster (I think) on the Lenovo Yoga running antiX-17 than the O’Powered gaming laptop with a faster processor and more ram (running antiX-19).

Brother supplies the backend, rather than sane, so saned doesn’t have to be started for scanning to work. On the Lenovo, htop doesn’t show saned as an active process, but on the other two systems one working and one not working) it is active. Notably, the configuration files for saned are the same in both working systems, so apparently the status of saned is not critical.

Appreciate any thoughts; happy to describe any specific details.

Ahh, good, that’s working out well, thank you much as always.

The comic-sans conky idea is awesome!!! Definitely going to try that.

NICE! Thank you for making me aware of the icon set. I think it will look nice with the wallpaper.

I’m glad you like the comic-sans idea. A lot of people make fun of the font, but it has it’s purpose and it’s the comic book style which I think is prefect with the wallpaper. The problem is not the font it’s the over use of it.

I’m glad to see it’s already in the repos. Thanks admin

Not many icons sets are as complete as papyrus. If you want UN-refined why not the gartoon icons set. I think the package is called something like gnome-icon-theme-gartoon….

If you really want UN-refined change the conky font to comic-sans. 😛

@marcelocripe –

I had a little time this evening to do a couple of tests of the 32-bit iso of your remaster. Here’s what I have for you.

Test on Gateway MX3210 laptop.

This laptop is my only machine with a VIA graphics controller. It is an VIA CN700 series [S3 UniChrome Pro]. The driver chosen for Xorg at boot is “openchrome”. There is no driver listed for the general driver.

Video is set at 1280×768
Sound is VIA V8237. It works.
Wifi and Ethernet are built in. Built in wifi is Broadcom BCM4318. Did not try it. Used a Belkin USB wifi dongle instead. Belkin loads as Belkin FSD7050 Ralink RT2571W and uses the rt73usb driver. Wifi works.

Connman did not find my wifi. Switched to Ceni. It took a long time but it did find the wifi and connected.

This machine has 489M of RAM available so I did not try FirefoxESR. The CPU supports SSE2 so the current version of SeaMonkey will run. But I could not get it to install on the LiveUSB. I installed Netsurf instead and browsed to the antiX forum. It works fine.

Played a music stream with PMRP. Works fine. Streamtuner2 will probably also work fine but I did not take the time to set it up.

Switched to the JWM desktop. Then back to IceWM. Works fine.

Used Repo manager to select a repo. Used antiX updater to update and upgrade. Works good.

Shutdown and move tests to Pentium-III desktop.

Here’s the system info for the Gateway laptop

Where is JWMKIT normally used – by the puppy linux users? It seems like such a perfect fit in antiX, I wonder if anyone here has ever tried it before.

The majority of JWM Kit users are those who have actively searched for a better/different/fresh solution to the Linux window manager/desktop experience. This means the users group is quite diverse while sharing the independence to find their own solution and not just use what some distro shoved in their face.

Apparently a good number of Puppy Linux users are either using JWM Kit or at least taking it for a spin. No version of puppy that I’m aware of comes with JWM Kit pre-installed. They have their own custom JWM config and tend to stick with it. I guess antiX is similar in that they also have their own custom JWM config.

I think antiX is a good match for JWM Kit. The only issue is that they have very different ideas on how to build a jwm configuration. This means that if you wish to use JWM Kit on antiX you might want to backup your jwm configuration.

Concerning this issue I did see a post on the antix forum a while back where some one addressed this. The person called JWM Kit’s config proprietary. Such misinformation is ridiculous as nothing about JWM Kit is proprietary. The comment was out of pure ignorance. Yes JWM Kit’s config is different from antix, but it’s no more proprietary than the antiX config. It follows the standard XML defined by JWM. It’s amazing what JWM can do when you fully understand it.

I didn’t say that to ruffle any feathers. I just wanted to clear bad mouthing of a project I’ve worked so hard on. No hard feelings.

1. Do not dist-upgrade any version of antiX using any Debian backports repos since it may cause some apps to fail to install correctly.
If you do, you get to pick up the pieces and waive any support.
This is also Debian’s recommendation.

2. Do not ‘google’ and blindly implement any random ‘advice’ on antiX. Ask for help in the forums.

3. Do not add third party repos such as Ubuntu ppa.

4. Use the Package Installer app first to install popular applications such as google-chrome, wine etc. This app is there for a reason.

5. Do not enable the multimedia repo per default, and of course do not perform a dist-upgrade while it is enabled.
This is also Debian’s recommendation.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Hi there,

I just tried to install Antix 21 on an old Acer Travelmate 4000 laptop.
This is a 32 bit laptop with Centrino M processor.

I had MX running before, but guessed that Antix would be better suited for this machine.

I started Antix from a USB stick and I’m running live so to speak. I choose all default options.
I tried to boot with forcepae option, because experience has learned that this processor apparently misses that flag.

Sofar, Antix works extremely s-l-u-g-g-i-s-h

Although Conky does not display much processor activity everything goes in slow motion.

Typing : half of the characters are missing (I’m a 2 finger typist…)
Touchpad : cursor slowly drag along,
clicking : half of the time clicks are missed

The information from inxi -zv8 comes in slowmotion in the terminal, block by block of 6 lines or so.

What can this be?

Any help highly appreciated.

I’m a Linux user for a couple of years. I know a thing or two from cmd line use, but I’m a newbie on Antix.

The new, non-Ubuntu based PeppermintOS has just been released…

I think their move away from Ubuntu is a good decision. Not sure about LXDE to XFCE. In general it is disappointing that most distros are clinging to just a few old, inflexible and bloated DEs such as KDE and Gnome, with XFCE not being far behind, with no apparent attempt to develop some new, more modular, efficient and flexible one.
For the lack of good DE out there the choice of JWM (or IceWM) SpaceFM (zzz…) and Connman appears to remain the best composition in existence…

you can even run an “X-less” web browser ~~ netsurf (debian package “netsurf-fb”)

sad news.
As of version 3.10, netsurf-fb (both the debian “bullseye” package, and as found in the upstream project)
apparently requires (declared within the libnsfb MAKEFILE) a wayland session.

Big news !

I fully installed (not an usb-live), antiX-21-FULL with kernel 5.10.57 on the same machine. This new installation works absolutely fine : taking about 6 seconds for the whole boot process, with defaults kernel params. (During the boot I saw “Waiting for /dev […]”, but it took only ~2 sec).

So, first of all : I am really sorry to have bother you for a thing that, apparently, I broke myself. Once again, sorry.

–> Then, the problem is not really the same (or the approach to solve it).
What can I do to find what I broke in the antix taking 1 min 20 to boot ? Read differences of the ‘dmes’ output ?

In the possibility to not be able to find the problem, how can I create an iso (containing all the customisation I have done : packages, appearance, theme, config files of navigator, …), and then reinstall that iso which will (I hope) boot in ~6 sec

(As a side note, during the installation of antiX, I discovered that we can not install antiX-21 on some devices – for example a usb-stick 3.0 I have; while for another usb-stick 3.0 it worked directly like a charm. I’m sure the partitions were well set, since there were the same between the 2 usb. Also, I prefer installing antiX on an usb than an usb-live system, due to personal choice/taste.)

To keep current with development in Linux world I have been testing several ‘acceptable’ Linux distros from perspective of efficiency and reliability.
Just to share my observations I was left with just a few, up-front discarding all those with artificially heavy and inefficient desktop environments.
Without enumerating those few that were left as ‘acceptable’ my observations are:
– So far the most versatile and most efficient memory footprint: antiX 21 Runit /JWM. Does not seem to leak any memory. Most capable of running some heavy stuff such as Google Earth, provided adequate graphics card, such as nVidia, even with Nuveau driver. Not tested with graphics intensive games without being able to install nVidia 340 though…
With simple but quite capable JWM window manager antiX 21 proved to be very stable and rock solid reliable. Top in the industry Live tools not found any place else.
– Astra Linux: Excellent distro used by Russian government and for official use for critical application, developed to replace Windows. It is sporting Fly desktop environment, way better than any inefficient Gnome or KDE bloat. It is an industrial quality distro with very efficient design and small memory footprint. Not much larger than antiX in that respect. Very well designed and professional. I have to say Russians know what they are doing and they do it well…
According to my rudimentary testing does not leak memory at all, just like antiX. Live capabilities are not implemented in Astra, so I was able to implement the Live tools from MX to overcome this deficiency. Astra appears to run everything i was testing just fine, except it fails on Google Earth visualization for no apparent reason on the same machines, on which antiX runs Google Earth just fine.
– Q4OS: Described as efficient and sporting Trinity desktop environment attracted my attention but also too elevated expectations. In spite of Trinity claimed as efficient it had much larger than antiX memory footprint and running browsers appears to leak memory terribly in my testing.
Live: Not much to show except it has been announced that Q4OS is partnering with MX to implement MX Live infrastructure. About a year has passed and so far I see nothing of such stuff implemented.
On my testing heavy graphics capabilities with Google Earth: On the same machines as antiX and Astra Q4OS was able to successfully launch Google Earth but after short use it seems to lock up the entire system solid. Possibly due to the above mentioned memory leak…

I was able to play with a few other distros as well but with nothing worth to mention…

Overall impression – antiX 21 Runit continues to be on top in efficiency, while still capable to run key heavy apps in a reliable way.
I am concerned that distro reviews such as distrowatch are being superficial and not take into account what really matters…
