Hi

I have a problem with update again. The last time I was able to solve it with the first method from here:

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/antix-19-4-available/page/3/#post-60755

But this time it doesn’t work. Here is the output from the terminal:

Do I have to choose a different repository? How do I do that?

And one other thing. There has been a problem with Opera and Videos for a while now. Apparently it is about HTML5 and libffmpeg.so. It worked until a few days ago. Then there were websites that crashed. I then ran some instructions from the Internet to copy this libffmpeg.so into the Opera directory. It had the effect that the websites no longer crashed, but the videos gave an error saying they couldn’t be played. Ok, if anyone has a solution, I’ll be happy. And otherwise it works with Chromium, a little slower.

I cannot say about the 32bits one, but on the 64bits b2 ISO on Legacy boot, the first boot screen for selecting the kernel only has those two (F1, F2) menus on purpose (I think), as its only objective is selecting what kernel to use at boot. After selecting the kernel, you see the well-known legacy menus with all the Fn options. Is it perhaps the 32bits ISO the one with missing menus? (I haven’t tested it yet)

My mistake for forgetting to send the changes. I think anticapitalista has fixed this for the next ISO.

Regarding System76, I’ve never owned one, and yes, they are not cheap, but a friend of mine had one and he had excellent service with it, and he was always able to install whatever version of Linux he wanted to use.

This mini line: https://system76.com/desktops/meerkat is a bit more affordable than their other models, but it’s still over $500.

Regarding the Thinkpad X220, Amazon.com has two options currently priced between $240-250.

Ebay even has one for under $100, though I recently had an unpleasant experience with a used smartphone that had a bad display; at least I was able to return it.

I’ve used Swappa with positive results for phones. I bought a computer for my wife this week through Amazon and received it less than 48 hours later and it was priced well under $500.

I’ve dealt with Tiger Direct in the past; they appear to have a few reasonable deals well under $500 too

But you said this-

dwm issues are not an antiX problem especially since the apps/scripts mentioned in this thread are all external to antiX and Debian bullseye.

[Member olsztyn]

Update:
The only material issue with Runit 21 B2 (could be Sysvinit too, I did not have the time to test yet) is the following and it appears to have to do with sound volume controls compile of C code.
When I add the standard hardware volume controls

static const char *upvol[] = { “/usr/bin/amixer”, “sset”, “Master”, “5%+”, NULL };
static const char *downvol[] = { “/usr/bin/amixer”, “sset”, “Master”, “5%-“, NULL };
static const char *mutevol[] = { “/usr/bin/amixer”, “sset”, “Master”, “toggle”, NULL };

to config.h for DWM and compile the C code of DWM it compiles correctly just as in antiX 19.4 (I did include the required X11 header – #include <X11/XF86keysym.h> ), however the hardware volume controls do not work in the executable DWM when so compiled under antiX 21 B2.
As a temporary workaround I keep compiling under antiX 19.4 and copying the resulting DWM executable to antiX 21 B2 /usr/local/bin.

Do I need to use different (updated?) libraries under antiX 21 B2 (it is runit, but this should not make any difference in this case) to compile, so as to make sound volume hardware controls work?
Just to mention, sound volume controls work fine in IceWM and Herbstluftwm, apparently as these are pre-compiled so do not require compilation under antiX 21 B2…

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated…

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

Some users don’t want to use any login manager and prefer startx after logging in at the console (as user).
For this to work, install xserver-xorg-legacy
Then you should be able to startx as user.
If not, edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper file to include these lines:

allowed_users = console
needs_root_rights = yes

Apparently, you will not need to edit that file if you first login as user, su to root then

apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-legacy

However, this will not give you the same desktop as default antiX with login manager. It will give you the min or minimal options listed below.

Instead of typing startx, you should type something like this:

startx /usr/local/bin/desktop-session icewm

Available options:

rox-icewm
icewm
zzz-icewm
min-icewm
minimal-icewm
rox-fluxbox
fluxbox
zzz-fluxbox
min-fluxbox
minimal-fluxbox
rox-jwm
jwm
zzz-jwm
min-jwm
minimal-jwm
herbstluftwm

* It might be because running it frugal/live is faster/less RAM intensive than full

This is about my most important preference of Base option.
Reasons for base:
– #1 – As stated above. On 19.4, for some reason when I start from Base and build my version of ‘personalized Full’ I get significantly better memory footprint of end-result antiX than starting from Full and removing various stuff. No idea why this happens, as I previously thought I should arrive at the same footprint with the same composition. Apparently something is left over redundant from trimming Full, that eats that memory. And to be clear I mean user memory of running system, not size. I am aware that ps_mem.py should show the same composition of running components, so will try to identify what happens…
– #2 – It provides more flexibility of software composition and saves time of removing various unneeded bloated packages, such as LibreOffice, etc…

Whether Base fits on CD is not material. Even my Thinkpad T23, dated about year 2000 had DVD reader by default. USB though was 1.1 slow. So Plop was one option or install Frugal on HD. But in any case it was not CD size limitation.

I’m a little confused about what is happening with your USB. But I think you want to make up a SEPARATE USB for rEFind. Do not attempt to use the same USB with antiX. You need two USB drives.

Unless you are saying you are having a hardware problem with your USB port and can’t boot from it?

I know some newer computers are making it harder to dual boot. But on all my UEFI systems I can use a hot key at boot that allows me to select which device to boot from. Sometimes the ESC key and sometimes F12, or something else. I put the rEFind USB in the USB port, hit F12 then select the appropriate USB drive then rEFind loads and I can choose my selection from there. Or I use Legacy boot, which for me is preferable, but apparently not always available in the BIOS/UEFI setup anymore.

because the driver uses the EDID Dpi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Display_Identification_Data which is obviously wrong.
Please try what is suggested in the other thread, better make a backup of your existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf before doing so.

My Xorg.0.log showed the DPI was set to 75×75. I read thru that thread you posted and followed the directions and viola! The DPI is now set as 120×120 and the menu fonts are coming up normally after reboot.

Thanks Caprea!

So, apparently the IceWM menu font does not respect the DPI setting from the Control Panel but uses the settings in the Xorg nvidia driver. I learned something new.

echo is superfluous:
daynumber=$(($(date --utc --date "$1" +%s)/86400))

Avoid piping cat to sed (not so bad, but slightly more efficient):
sed 1d ~/tempfile | ...

Will you need tempfile later on?
If so, tee can be used:
ps -U $(whoami) --no-headers -o args | tee tempfile | sed 's/^\/bin\/bash /\/bin\/bash~~~/g'

There are more interpreters than bash and python for ~~~ing.
Apparently, in xapps-ignore.lst must be regexps.
Something like:

^/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/desktop-session
^/bin/bash /usr/bin/devmon

And grep call whithout -x
ps -U $(whoami) --no-headers -o args | grep -v -f xapps-ignore.lst

Home directory can be $HOME in, say, xapps-ignore.lst.template and then simply
sed "s/\$HOME/$HOME/g" xapps-ignore.lst.template > xapps-ignore.lst

Words are carried away by the wind...

@Wallon: I am very sorry that you face so many restrictions in your country.
I can’t imagine why there would be preferences for Chrome and Windows – I wonder if Microsoft’s Edge and Windows also works?

In any case, that is extremely restrictive (and apparently explicit) coding restrictions that don’t make any particular sense. Perhaps this was coded by a naive coder who had no idea, or perhaps someone is on a “payroll” for someone with financial interests in these companies?

Hi again,

Today, my system again did NOT connect to DNS on booting. I could ping 1.1.1.1 but not google.com. But nothing looked changed from yesterday??!

At this time,

1) /etc/default/connman doesn’t exist
2) /run/connman/resolv.conf (and its symbolic link, /etc/resolv.conf) just show nameserver ::1 and nameserver 127.0.0.1
3) /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf shows my lan gateway address

I was able to connect via DNS by manually editing the /etc/resolv.conf to list just the lan gateway address. but I was looking for a “permanent” fix.

It dawned on me that I had both connman and wicd active.

So, I changed the /etc/init.d/wicd file so it didn’t start at boot.

Then I rebooted and voila, I am connected via DNS.

However, the /etc/resolv.conf file still DOESN’T list the lan gateway address – just ::1 and the localhost (127.0.0.1).

I have looked on the internet a bit just now and apparently sometimes BUT NOT always this connects to the (wan?) gateway or to the router gateway.

So, at this moment, I guess 127.0.0.1 (for my system) is all that is necessary to allow me to connect to different sites on the internet without memorizing their ip addresses <g>.

Bottom line – apparently wicd and connman cannot RELIABLY be active at the same time.

If this is now a stable solution, I will try to remember to send a follow up confirming it.
