Search Results for 'ppa'

Hi all,

I am posting this because I have only seen one post about sysvinit-utils-antix and it is apparently in reference to antiX-21, not Sid. In my antiX-19 install, there is no sysvinit-utils-antix package in the repos, only a sysvinit-utils package.

In aptitude, I noticed that there are two packages (a) sysvinit-utils which is installed and (b) sysvinit-utils-antix whose install is blocked (pb) because of an inability to resolve dependencies. I don’t notice any problem because of this, but I would like to understand what difference exists between these two packages.

Obviously, if there is a reason to uninstall sysvinit-utils and replace it with sysvinit-utils-antix, I am happy to do so.

Since aptitude can’t resolve the dependencies involved, I will have to figure out how to do the switch while not terribly messing up my installed system.

Thanks for clarification/advice.

UPDATE: I just saw this via DDG search:

@13 Debian APT changes (by anticapitalista on 2021-11-29 11:59:12 GMT from Greece)
I tried to build antiX (sid repos) via debootstrap and in a chroot and I am not able to remove sysvinit-utils for sysvinit-utils-antix (in order to use antiX’s implementation of runit).
It worked just fine before this latest ‘improvement’ to apt.
Anyone know how to ‘manually’ force the removal/replacement?

So, I guess until antix can do it, I am not likely to be successful <g>.

I found, well, not exactly the solution, but a workaround that I can live with. An UBUNTU user had exactly the same problem with a device very similar to mine. I will sketch his remedy in short below, in case another Antix user should need it. If you want to read the whole story you can find it here at the unix stackexchange forum. Let me add right away that, as a side-effect, the proposed cure disables the eject button on the drive, but you can still eject a disk through software, say in zzzFM. A small price to pay, if you ask me, for being able to switch disks freely.

Here’s how it goes. Locate the file ‘/lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules’. To be on the safe side, make a backup copy of it. Then, with root permissions edit this text file. Search for the section

# media eject button pressed
ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}=="?*", RUN+="/usr/bin/eject $devnode", GOTO="cdrom_end"

and delete the ‘RUN+=…’ part in between the comma’s, so that it now reads

# media eject button pressed
ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}=="?*", GOTO="cdrom_end"

Save the edited file, and you’re done. This fix is not 100% permanent, in that certain upgrade operations on your OS could overwrite said file, an so undo the changes you made. These overwrites should be rare for most users however.

It would be nice if a truly expert user could pursue the matter further, to see what exactly is causing this endless loop of eject-commands that is apparently the cause of this problem, and why it only affects certain USB optical drives. And if a true solution that would not mess up the physical eject button could be found. It must be possible, since MX handles the matter flawlessly, as far as I can see.

For now I don’t mark this topic as [SOLVED] yet but, for me at least, it is not urgent anymore.

The change was requested by (commercial) POP! OS, apparently

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

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

So I ended up with cloning the original (functioning) 17.4.1 stick by
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd bs=500M
This procedure took some hours, unattended, until the 64 GB were 1:1 copied.
But then, a miracle happened: The cloned stick comes up, booting fine, exactly as the original, even with all stored boot configuration settings present and enabled persistence, just like the original.

This is expected that such exact copy should work the same as the original as the copy is sector by sector.
Now it is a matter of replacing the old antiX 17 with antiX 21 it seems…
I also created today an extlinux based USB antiX Live stick per process outlined by Christophe and boots correctly on my laptops but did not have the time to retrieve the old desktop from storage yet to test if they would boot from such stick.
However I have a question to Christophe and other experts, to leverage experience with Extlinux:
What is the difference nowadays between extlinux and syslinux? When I am looking at extlinux boot files they seem exactly the same as syslinux boot files – ldlinux32 and ldlinux.sys. Previously I thought they were different but apparently after extlinux and syslinux merged into one boot system, they are the same it seems…
If so then is there any difference now, except slightly different syntax of config file?
Thanks and Regards…

Update:
After more research it appears to me syslinux and extlinux are basically the same. It seems that extlinux was made to be able to boot from Linux file systems, while syslinux originally booted just from Fat32 partition, but after merging these now they are the same files. Please someone let me know if I am mistaken…
Both can read syslinux.cfg config file, however if the extlinux.conf file is present then it takes precedence over syslinux.cfg.

As far as setting up syslinux/extlinux to boot multiple Frugal or Live instances – my thanks to Christophe for outlining methodology in the original thread. This works very well, both on internal hard disk or USB sticks…

Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):
https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_Parameters

Hello,

I would like to permanently change the file manager’s settings so that it doesn’t resize every time I change directories. How can I do that? That popping around my desktop like a jumping bean drives me crazy. I changed it once with the ‘+’ button, but apparently, that is session-only. I want that window to stay whatever size I make it.

Thanks.

SOLUTION: The audio immediately came back with the terminal command: alsactl restore

=======================================

So when I opened a SM Tube video in MPV Player (? – can’t check SM Tube appears to be broken) I pressed the volume icon in the taskbar which muted the sound, but when I clicked it again about half a sec later (to unmute it) the audio was gone & wouldn’t come back (even after a variety of toggles & reboots).

After fiddling with pulseaudio -k & pulseaudio -D + restarting the problem was still there & somehow must have saved into my settings (alsa?).

Apparently this is a bug where ‘automute’ may have been enabled.

Talking about privacy in web browsers, I found this
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/528559-Paranoid-browser-test-is-there-privacy-in-FOSS
Half of the thread is talking about the issue, and the other half (starting at the end of page 7) OP talks about actual tests made on several browsers

Generally speaking, OP “tightens” security as much as possible by tweaking browser’s configuration. Yes, one likely disadvantage is that, by tightening options a lot, it could actually break websites. But as I understand, it’s done for reference purposes, to see how “noisy” or “quiet” browser is just by itself.

It looked interesting for me, and since thread is from 4 years ago, I thought I could try doing the same tests myself. Basically it’s just about using “tcpdump” command while starting/running the browser.

First I ran tcpdump with no other apps running. I noticed even like this there are active connections: as far as I understood, they were from the router, the ISP, some IANA stuff -I think…-, “AntiX gateway” stuff, connections related to Connman -even when I had cmst not running-…
I tried to get familiar with them in order to identify the *other ones*, i.e., the browser ones.

So started with Firefox, installed from repos.
In first post in the mentioned thread OP mentions a bug report filed by himself. Within it, he explains the steps to “tighten” Firefox as much as possible. I tried to follow them as close as possible (because Firefox versions have *greatly* changed since then), including “privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = true” under about:config options.
Result: certainly same as what OP got. Many connections to Google, Mozilla, Amazon related domains/subdomains, even shortly after browser was already closed.

I didn’t try with Google Chrome; I better chose to take OP’s word on this one (it wouldn’t be too surprising anyway, would it?)

Brave browser was also mentioned, with similar results to Firefox…

Tried with Seamonkey.
With defaults, there’s indeed “chattering” with similar domains to Firefox.
So I tried tightening it like this:
In about:config
privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = true; javascript.enabled = false
Edit > Preferences:
Browser: Display on startup: Blank page
Privacy & Security:
–uncheck all Safe Browsing options (they seem to connect to 1e100.net, owned by Google)
–Cookies: Block cookies
–Certificates: disable OCSP
Result after this: some chattering with a website with just IP address, and seemingly no defined DNS name… Actually not sure whether it is something or not…

Now with the “better” ones.

Ungoogled-Chromium
With defaults, no apparent chatting (ohh).

Midori
Mentioned as well in the above thread, but after reading that it had apparently greatly changed since 2019, I tried installing it from repos.
Version in repos look different than “official” latest release… But anyway, with defaults, at startup, no apparent chattering neither.
Probably just need to set it to “blank page” at startup (IIRC…) and disable scripts.

Librewolf
Already being discussed here, looked like another possible good option.
Indeed, just with defaults, no chattering. Alright.

Pale Moon
Probably since still a more general web browser indeed, at default startup there is chattering.
However, seemingly by just setting “Blank page at startup” and “Home page = blank page” under General tab in Tools > Preferences, and perhaps also disabling javascript.enabled under about:config, there is no chattering neither.
Though perhaps it’d also be worthy tightening even more just to be more sure.
Currently the browser I use more often in my particular case.
It worked just out of the box even on minimalist distros like Slitaz, at least back when they still released 32bit versions.

Well, these were my findings for now.

[Member ModdIt]

I think I am also being affected with this, desktop seems frozen, maybe just no input possible.

AntiX21 Runit 64 Bit. the problem is most apparent in latest kernel but still occurs when booted with the older one.
The base system still runs, printing a big job just continued until finished. The printer is USB connected so
it does not look port related.

Have to kill with power switch and reboot.
Also noticing constant disk activity, worrying for my ssd. Top shows Kworker doing something probable reason.

The problem is also apparent on a start from live stick. Could not diagnose but looks like a service runs amok.

I have now been running a sysv init Live setup on same computer for hours without any issue.
Disk activity nil unless starting an application, working with mail, writer or browsing.

[Member dirkd]

The thought dawned upon me a few hours after this post. Could have saved me a whole afternoon of experimenting with virtual machines…

For the first time in all these years of using Linux, I decided to use a separate home partition for my new Antix21 installation. As I had successfully done before, I unpacked the firefox-52.9 archive to a ~/firefox/ folder in my home subfolder (so, not a typo, @PPC 🙂 ). And that’s apparently the reason it won’t run! In my virtual machine experiments I hadn’t used a separate home partition, in order to speed up the installation procedure, and then firefox runs just fine out of my home-folder.

So I moved the firefox folder to /opt in stead. I had to be a little more careful to be sure that the access rights were sufficient for non-root users. Then I made a link to the /opt/firefox52.9/firefox binary (I had the good sense this time to name the folder more clearly) in ~/Desktop, and all was well.

Thank you guys, anyway, for letting your light shine on this. Do you know of any other applications, in say ~/.local/bin, that can’t be run from a separate home partition? I remember, previously this week, that I had problems to start nicotine-plus (a python application) that was installed in ~/.local/bin. I presumed something had gone wrong with the installation, but maybe it was a symptom of the same thing.

This package has been removed from the debian bullseye repos, presumably because of unmet dependencies. Fortunately it can also be installed as a python package with pip3. A minor drawback is that has a Qt-look, in stead of GTK. All it takes are the following commands (with sudo!)

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtk-3.0 python3-gi python3-gdbm
sudo pip3 install nicotine-plus

You may have to install the pip package first, if you don’t have it already. On my first try I forgot the sudo in the second command, and although it’s not strictly necessary, I found it rather difficult to start the program. Using sudo is definitely the way to do it.

On the github page of Nicotine-plus you can find instructions to add a custom PPA (extra repository, outside of debian) or to download a .deb package. I’m not to keen on adding PPA’s (bad experiences in the past), and I didn’t test the .deb package.

I just learned this week that a new version of AntiX was released. I installed the Antix-21 64-bit Runit version with a 5.10 kernel on my main machine, in parallel with my previous Antix-17.4 environment. I was very impressed, in that (almost) everything I use worked right out of the box. I never managed to get AntiX-19 to work with a 5.10 kernel, which I need to support my relatively new hardware, but this time I was lucky. I was particularly happy to learn that SpaceFM still ships with AntiX, be it in a new incarnation. I would hate to switch to another filemanager after all these years, so thank you, Skidoo!

Some small problems I encountered:

(1) The new login screen doesn’t let you go back to the ‘username’ field after you press enter. That would be nice for fixing the occasional typing error. It doesn’t react to mouse clicks, but maybe this is normal. If everything else is fine, it could use a little esthetic cleaning up. These gargantuan fonts, yech. Again, there may be a reason for that (users with very high resolution screens?). It also mentions the <F1>-key to change session type twice in two different fonts (with and without serifs!). Surely once is enough.

(2) Connman. Worked just fine on the live USB, and I could connect to my network more or less easily. But after installing to the harddisk it messed up the boot process. After the message ‘udev: waiting for being fully populated’ (or something like that) my screen went black and the computer seemed to hang up completely. Enough to scare away a first time user I guess. Luckily I thought about switching to the <F1> console. There I saw an almost endless repeat of the message ‘No protocol specified’ (or something like that). I presumed it was Connman trying to connect to the wifi. After (many!) minutes, if finally gave up, and I could complete the login process. Switching to Ceni for network management solved that problem.

(3) Package manager. This is a known problem, apparently. LaTeX full didn’t install. I used Synaptic instead. After updating I *could* install LaTeX with the package manager, but only after first removing all latex packages I had already added with Synaptic. The interplay between Synaptic and the Package Manager is still somewhat mysterious to me.

(4) Synaptic is absent from the fluxbox menu. Sure, I can start it from the Control Centre, but I’m used to find it under the ‘System’ menu. I *thought* I knew how fluxbox decides which apps it put in the menu (I thought it was decided by the ‘Categories’ entry in the .desktop file), but apparently I’m wrong. So can I get Synaptic back in the menu? And how?

(5) Conky. I use fluxbox as window manager, with a different wallpaper for each desktop. The method I use to switch wallpapers calls for Conky-std in stead of Conky-legacy, which is installed by default. But Conky 1.11 complains about syntax errors in the .conkyrc configuration file. I solved this by installing an older Conky-std 1.10 from my Antix-17 environment. But I would prefer to use the standard version from the repos, if possible.

(6) Fluxbox-minimal session. When choosing a fluxbox-minimal session, fluxbox refuses to use the ‘startup’ configuration file. It makes a new one on its own (and thus makes me loose some customisations I made), and renames the old one to ‘startup.disabled’. Using a normal ‘Fluxbox’ session works fine, so apparently there is nothing wrong with the ‘startup’ file. I tested if Antix-17 has the same problem. To my surprise it refused to start a fluxbox-minimal session! (I forgot the precise error message – ‘Unable to handle startup request’ or something like that), but I *could* switch to ‘fluxbox-minimal’ desktop, after first starting a normal ‘fluxbox’ session.

Hi all, Dave pointed me towards two files that were causing the problems (99-update-loginmanager and 99-update-menu) and after removing them, apt is updating fine without error messages.

These files are apparently unnecessary because I don’t use a login manager, just startx.

I also don’t have desktop-session-antix, or desktop-menu-antix; only apt-antix and desktop-defaults-net-antix. I am not sure what I am missing out on, because my Openbox-based graphic system seems to work ok.

On a system starting with Runit 64 bit sound card 2 keeps being lost/reset to the internal card 0.

Means after a remaster the sound card must be reset and tested using controll center tool.
This keeps happening which is somewhat annoying. The built in board Intel HD Audio delivers
very poor sound quality when A/B compared with the Audigy card.

user home asound.rc
defaults.pcm.!card Audigy2
defaults.ctl.!card Audigy2

To me it looks like the .asound.conf gets broken replaced as a manual change from card 0 to card 2
is apparently not sticking.

#Substitute N with a small integer, 0 for your first sound card (which is the default),
#1 for your second, and so on.

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0

This explains it. I really spent a while looking around trying to get this “modern kernel” to apparate. Will try again now.

I see you marked it solved. Did you get power off working?

If so, what worked to fix that?

It’s always nice to put the solution in the thread so that when people search, they find the problem and what solved it.

Yes, poweroff now works!.

The solution was to reinstall Antix 21.

That solution is included in my previous message, but I see that is easy to miss within the message. I’ll edit the message to try to make the solution more apparent.
