If I understand you right here this is possible. In the /etc/slimski.conf there’s this option, it’s line 227 here.

::: Immediately focus the password field.
::: This option is moot (ignored) unless a default_user has been
::: specified AND singleInputMode=false AND autologin_enabled=false
passwdfocus_enabled true

Super helpful here, so thanks!
Also saw the thread ‘zzzfm and slimski’ https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/zzzfm-and-slimski/ , where slimski is apparently antiX-21’s reworked SLiM by “skidoo”.
While I couldn’t find the slimski manpage CONFIGURATION section’s suggested /usr/share/doc/slimski/slimski_OPTIONS_LIST.txt documenting file on my own antiX-21 installation, was fairly easily able to figure out this and my other “ideals” 1 and 2 using the nicely self-documenting /etc/slimski.conf (and slimski.local.conf) settings 🙂

Directly related to slimski, liked neither the default login manager theme within the antiX21-slimski.zip initially linked from https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/zzzfm-and-slimski/#post-62997 nor the other themes within /usr/share/slimski/themes (although the ax theme at least didn’t have that undesired prompt “Press F1 to toggle sessions” appear 😐 )
Besides choosing an alternate GRUB .png image from a self-created, Windows10-like bitmap image, might probably have to at least similarly create Windows10-like bitmap images background.png and panel.png for /usr/share/themes/<mimicWin10theme>. And sure, would have to better learn and edit the internals of a BobC slimski.theme as well 😐

Again, did indeed like some of PPC’s helpful tips from posting https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/short-essential-how-to-list-for-the-complete-linux-newbie/#post-37485 🙂
6.- Adding application’s icons to your (tool)bar (If you are using the default Icewm antiX desktop)
7.- Adding application’s icons to the desktop:
8.- Changing desktop background:
9.- Turning the desktop’s resource monitor (Conky) on/ off:

Might even consider add these as possible temporary 7a.- and 7b.- …..
“7a.- Menu > Run > then type (without the quotes) “rox /usr/share/applications/antix” for antiX-specific app icons for the desktop”
“7b.- You can find any binary by selecting the app’s name via Menu > App Select: it shows the command needed to run the application, its icon, etc.”
(slightly revised from PPC’s previous tip)

This PPC tip helped much with that “ideal 3” 🙂

I can speak in general terms. On Debian, for example, you can greatly speed things up. For example, if I start IceWM instead of KDE or Xfce, that helps. If I remove any daemon processes that I am certain that I don’t need, that helps.

Anything else you remove that lessens the number of processes running also reduces the Kernel’s need to switch between processes.

All of this contributes to a faster system. When you remove something it’s very important to know what it’s used for. If you know, then you can properly decide what to do. Resource usage and reduced number of tasks and procedures make a difference. In my experience getting rid of the desktop environment is an obvious and immediately apparent difference and cutting down on daemons that aren’t essential is #2.

The rest helps but makes less obvious difference.

bbyfacekiller,

I can even go wrong by using the word “invite” or “invitation”, apparently it doesn’t sound good in some languages, but in my language “invite someone” or “give an invitation” is something very appreciated in my country.
“Feel invited to join the team of volunteer antiX translators for your language.”

My greetings.

– – – – –

bbyfacekiller,

Eu posso até errar por utilizar a palavra “convidar” ou “convite”, ao que parece não soa bem em alguns idiomas, mas no meu idioma “convidar alguém” ou “fazer um convite” é algo muito apreciado no meu país.
“Sinta convidado a participar da equipe de tradutores voluntários do antiX para o seu idioma”.

Meus cumprimentos.

[Member stevesr0]

hi Xecure,

Apparently, I installed something fairly new (27 October) and the documentation seems to be not properly revised.

(1) Turns out that media-session no longer exists in 3.39. Wireplumber is its replacement. I looked at the pipewire instructions for editing the /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf file, but they don’t make great sense to me.

(2) I have not found a simple set of instructions for LAUNCHING either wireplumber OR pipewire. To see if it was working without any of the suggested file editing, I tried “pw-play /usr/shares/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav. I got an error message that HOST is down.

Next, I tried launching pipewire from a terminal. This seemed to launch (the command line changed from “$” to “_”. So I opened a second terminal and again attempted to play the wav file. No sound and a message about “suspended” appeared.

Finally, I tried launching BOTH wireplumber and pipewire and playing the wav file. This worked (yay!!)

With this raving success achieved in spite of complete ignorance, I have decided to take the weekend off from further efforts, unless folks on this forum suggest ways to move forward.

(I will however check out the examples on the pipewire-tests package.)

stevesr0

P.S. If I figure out how to do so, I will notify the Pipewire team that the instructions for 3.39 are outdated and confusing to a noobie <g>.

[Member crackulator]

Just wanted to point out – because I had a similar problem, for a different reason – that (apparently) you can’t just barge right in and use ceni on a fresh install. It won’t be able to DNS; it will connect to the network and DCHP, but won’t be able to find any websites, because the DNS is under the control of connman.

It’s necessary to first find Applications / antiX / Change Wifi Program and select Ceni. This changes the configuration so that DNS will work with ceni.

(Connman is undoubtedly better, except that I can’t use it on my tiny Asus EEE because the screen is too small. The dialog boxes have controls offscreen.)

[Member ModdIt]

don’t offer a configuration method that does not connect to the Internet. That’s the mess of it.

In my experience, I look after quite a few devices and installations, you want the impossible.

The real mess is often in the hardware, I have had several devices, netbooks laptops some about
12 years old several not so old which I was unable to prepare for other users with need for wifi.

Changing the WIFI card for an intel device was an immediate cure for the problem.
I also have a couple of USB dongles which are usable as a temporary fix in most stubborn cases.

When win 10 came along I was given a lot of perfectly good devices which stopped working
correctly due lack of drivers, users/owners were really upset as in most cases the update was
remotely started by MS.
Anyone who says that does not happen, I logged in to my car diag device with win 7 PRO,
started working and it began an automatic non stoppable update. Wonderful as it immediaetly
soft bricked my ODB device for which no win10 software is available to date.

I have only utter contempt for Micr soft.

[Member fizzybrain]

Yup, that’s it!
Re-install then repair GRUB. I think I tried each of those individually (and maybe even both but in the wrong order!), duh. I am appalled at how much I have forgotten since the last time I tried to love Linux.

I’m surprised that cli-installer can’t install the base version – as it was strongly hinted at in old posts – but it occurs to me that the way it works (by creating a running system in memory and then copying it to HDD, as far as I can see) wouldn’t have helped with my low-RAM system anyway.

Thanks for the help

Summary: I would like to install antiX-base to HDD using the antiX-net CD as ethernet is by far the best way to get an OS onto the machine.
—
I have an old AMD Athlon 1400MHz/1GB RAM laptop – not fast but has a decent keyboard and screen to use as shed workstation for very simple tasks and connecting to house machines through VNC, RDP, etc. (I have done similar using a Dell mini 9 of similar spec and was impressed with how straightforward and fast eveything was/is)

It has a CD/DVD drive, but it’s pretty flaky (and very slow) and feels like it will shake itself to bits if I have to keep using it.
It has USB 1.1, but I cannot boot from it, even if I try starting to boot from CD and using the “from=USB” option – it doesn’t appear in the list of block devices, which I gather is not unusual for USB 1.1.

I have tried two approaches (on different HDDs)

Method A: I can boot from a antiX-net CD. I have seen people saying that it is possible to install a full or base version using cli-installer from the -net version, but I don’t see any options to do that (the posts which say that are several years old). If I let it run I end up with an installed and booting -net version, from which I am apparently expected to “build up”. This is hugely above my level of expertise (and stamina). Is there some nice script which will then install everything to make it into a -base version, with all the utilities, properly-configured menus, automatically-starting X, etc? Or maybe I am missing something in cli-installer which will make it install a full -base system from the beginning?

Method B: I can boot from the antiX-base CD. I ask to install that distro and it apparently installs OK, but fails at the GRUB stage (*) – when I try to boot, the machine just sits and stares back at me without even getting to anything resembling a bootloader. * – I am invited to use “bootrepair” from control centre, but evidently that is beyond me because then when I reboot I am dropped to a grub console and I have no idea what to do with that. I have tried reinstalling GRUB to the MBR or to the root partition (the latter throws up a warning, though, as apparently ext2 is not suitable for embedding, or something like that), but frankly I might as well be trying to fix a computer using a hammer, which I confess is an approach which I have considered.

It all just worked beautifully with the Dell Mini!

So, can anyone help with:
a) turning/upgrading a minimal “antiX-net” installation into an “antiX-base” system?
or
b) fixing GRUB, or whatever it is that will get my apparently-installed but non-booting “antiX-base” system working?

@Brian Masinick

Please note that anticapitalista has deliberately chosen to describe his creation in an ambiguous manner.

We have explained at various times and various ways that antiX is designed to function very efficiently (“mean”) and consume resources conservatively (¨lean¨).

Thank you, Brian, for giving us contextual information. I appreciate. Finally, once more you hit the bull’s-eye – like anticapitalista. I think it’s your definitive word… of the day! I presume this is exactly the reason why the current debian release called “bullseye” is the very first flavor of what the next antiX release will look like! (Caution. Now there are so many bulls around us).

I was still thinking of your post of yesterday around “lean and mean”. Do you think that a logical expression like “necessary and sufficient” might be applied or equivalent to it? For making tea, tea and water are necessary and sufficient. Not milk. So we can discard milk as it is not necessary to the 32-/64-bit systems. Personally I don’t dislike the idea. Ok without milk: it’s antiX so to speak. But we still appreciate cream…

@anticapitalista

Language is not static, it changes.
…
possibly leading to confusion and misunderstanding

Hello anticapitalist! Thank you for adding your contribution. I think you’ve hit the bull’s-eye. As you are the keymaster of this forum site, you probably are well placed historically to observe how languages and multiple ways of speaking are a constant and moving feature of human beings. On my side my experience in languages came from many journeys all over the world as well as linguistics and I also liked learning foreign languages at a time – particularly before traveling.

You’ve added two major features to the fundamental question of language/expression/translation:

– the historical dimension because it’s a never-ending process. Every language keeps changing. An enlightening example might be all possible current “cousins” of the English language: Globish, Hinglish. Spanglish, and so on – I am saying the list without any value judgment, because it’s indeed a very important process linguistically speaking.

A book recently written by an archeologist tries to demonstrate that the hypothesis of the unique origin of a so-called Euro-Asian language, “Indo-European”, is nothing but a myth. According to the thesis, there is scientifically no evidence that an “Indo-European” entity has ever existed historically. A state of research that shows up after 150 years of European wars…. The ‘concept’ resulted only from political, hard controversies that took place in Europe over the 19th century until the defeat of the Nazi regime in 1945. Yet in 2021, some right-wing movements as well as some parts of the upper-class are still stuck on that ‘concept’. Sigh.

Another significant example: Years ago, I watched a documentary on the Universities existing in UK. At a moment, two scholars working in Oxford/Cambridge sadly admitted – in a sort of confession, I would say ironically – that the English language is finally more or less a “bastard” language (I am using their own terminology, not mine). Apparently, their sadness was mainly due to the fact that 50 to 60% of the current English vocabulary came from French after a 3-century occupation of England by William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, and his successors. A strange reaction. It made me just smile because in my mind their sadness was worthless, they simply could not understand or imagine – even expressing themselves as “scholars” – what a given historical process can be in history, in language science etc.

– the ‘agonistical’ dimension (the word’s etymology is Greek as you certainly know) because getting to a consensus in situations like a discussion in daily life, a debate, a conference or a forum thread is not only often impossible but also highly questionable. Has the scientific world got to a consensus concerning the current pandemics after 18 months? In no way. Is a consensus something to wish? That is the question. Let’s talk about it! Sure, “agon” does not mean “war” in this context.

but the concept may exist but expressed differently

Some respected (Western) sholars have claimed that China has no Mandarin word – and Vietnam no Vietnamese word – to express what we usually call “freedom” in the Western countries – as a matter of fact the subject keeps being discussed. Beyond the theoretical dimension, it does not imply that Chinese or Vietnamese people have “no idea” or “no experience” of what freedom is. Quite the contrary. If a Chinese is put in jail, they *immediately* have a concrete experience, a high idea of what freedom is or means and how they can express it in their own language! Even without jail, they have a high idea of what freedom is! Even animals have such experiences. Look at a tiger put in an iron cage, turning and turning round alone, what is it expressing to us, blind human beings!

As you can see above, Brian Masinick gave an interesting interpretation of “lean and mean” regarding the antiX context. Why don’t you give yours, by the way? A matter of distance or discretion may be? I am waiting for… If you tell me the expression is idiomatic, ok I’ll quite agree – since I suppose you speak English, your native language. But if you tell me the expression is “untranslatable”, I think you are in the wrong way. Just consider below the case of “saudade” with marcelocripe.

@marcelocripe

Muito obrigado, marcelocripe. Many thanks! Your quotation of the definitions of “saudade” from the Michaelis is helpful, particularly the 1st one which is also the main one. Your last examples of sentences bring also many shades of subtle nuances. Years ago, some close Brazilian friends told me that “saudade” may sometimes be close to “melancholy” and “nostalgy” but also quite different in most Brazilian minds. As I tried to guess what they meant, they had fun answering my successive suggestions by saying ‘yes!’, ‘yes…’, ‘no!’, ‘no…’, ‘may be’, ‘yes, a little bit’, ‘not far but…’, ‘oh, not at all!’, and so on. It’s actually a very nice recall. Do you agree with them, marcelocripe?

Now, about the phrase “Lean and Mean!”, the had better explain the meaning used in the phrase.

Just waiting for the creator of antiX’ answer. If you could see me, I keep praying.

Please, first update your system to the latest packages.
After updating, remove all runit services you don’t need. You can use the runit-service-manager.sh script (if runit-service-manager is installed).
If you still see disk use, install iotop and show us what the program sees is using the disk with
sudo iotop -o

Some mirrors are having problems. Would you mind using the repo manager (Control Centre > Software > repo manager) to switch to a different antiX mirro and then again run the antiX updater? Hopefully this is only a problem with the mirror that was assigned to you at boot. Let us know if a different mirror worked for you.

yes I made another install and it worked flawlessly 🙂 – thanks !
