@xecure,

did an experiment and
apparently it is a problem only with buster version of xorg. this
is a sid/bullseye core build up and it works in 16 bit and 24 bit
with no icon disappearing problem.
I had to add a display subsection under screen for the desktop
resolutions though in xorg.conf for my monitor. it was trying to set it
for 1600×1200 but my monitor stops at 1280×1024 and was going to sleep
… so not an automatic fits all solution.
could try putting bullseye xorg on hold with the buster iso and not hold any
other packages back.

I have installed kernel 4.19.152 after a struggle with freezes and trouble with Ceni.

When running offline, not connected to the wlan, the PC behaves well, showing no sign of difficulty, freezes, or other misbehaviour of any kind.
When connected to my wlan it is almost impossible to do anything at all, the mouse pointer freezes, windows multiply and lines of text rack over the terminal at speed.
In the background when frozen I can see in the Htop window I left that the Cpus are not frozen and jobs run apparently normally.

I conclude the problem is entirely related to wireless networking. Network Assistant is in there somewhere, I tried to apt-get remove it but do not know the package name, it is not NetworkAssistant nor networkassistant. I suspect this package is interfering with Ceni in some way.

Test at your own risk

virtualbox instance, FTW

First boot, as soon as I attempted apt update, it’s trying to ?setup “firmware-b43legacy-installer” and apparently tries to download something from openwrt.org … and fails with an errormsg “some problem occurred during the firmware download. Please check your network connection.”

apt purge firmware-b43legacy-installer
and carry on…

Hmm, buster-backports is permanently enabled, from the get-go.
I’ve been operating under the impression that leaving it permantly enabled was inadvisable.

suggest:
add a line to /etc/skel/.profile
export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1
to suppress gtk accessibility warning messages

privacy-unfriendly:
app called “celluloid” ships with default preferences set to “automatically retrieve metadata” ~~ calls out to a webserver

noted: at start of session, conky shows 59.5MB used

it’s a very solid result. Congrats on your quick mastery of build-iso !

I frequently have to boot in either failsafe or safe mode in order to keep the X server from getting stuck when starting, but knowing this, I’m always able to get in and boot. I’ve not seen video resolution issues that others have seen, but again, knowing these possibilities, it’s never been a problem after 1-2 tries to successfully boot and use the system. Also, if I choose to install it, once the image is installed, I do not see these issues; the X server apparently uses the mode in which I’ve accessed the system from which I successfully enter graphics mode and then install.

As a backup to my installed Antix 17.4, 32 bit system, I had a live-USB on a 32 GB micro-SD plugged into a single slot USB adapter.
It booted up and ran fine.
After dropping the USB to micro-SD adapter, it had I/O errors, which apparently corrupted the micro-SD card.

Now, with a new USB micro-SD adapter, I made two new live-USB micro-SDs (one on a new micro-SD card, the other on the original micro-SD after reformatting).

Both cards appear to boot… up to the login dialog. But, after user and password are entered, the screen goes black.

Is this a problem with the USB adapter? (I bought two. Both do the same thing.) Is there a way to troubleshoot what lies beyond the black screen?

Thanks!

I need to find a simple “microsoftesque” distro for a parents computer. I’m leaning toward XFCE, cause it will work on most pretty low grade hardware. Close to Windows for older newbs.

I’d like opinions/help. I wanna give them Xubuntu, but from previous experience, I believe, an Ubu “distro upgrade” from lets say 18 to 20., Pretty idiot proof, but UBU seems to kill all PPA’s before allowing a self “Rolling Stable Upgrade.” So, Xubu ppa’s get blocked, then they would end up with Ubu 20.04, but lose “old people” XFCE, since it was ppa based.

Sorry, I know this should probably be in MX forums, haven’t registered there yet.

Long story short: I’d like a “rolling stable release”. If I give my parents Xubu, I will require more hands on, to give them upgrades. Anyone with experience upgraging MX would help greatly.
Can/does MX reinstall itself with each release?
How hard is it to keep /home, and not overwrite…
I need a way to go from “18.04-20.04”, but like, A, keep XFCE, but also hopefully keep settings/home. Can my dad with a XFCE bottom panel “start menu”, upgrade to the next MX and keep /home, and bottom panel config…. I don’t feel I could explain this to him over phone…

What does sudo apt install elogind show?

Something you installed on 2020-10-05 removed elogind and sysvinit for systemd.

Maybe connected to this unsupported repo? kxstudio-debian-ppas.list

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

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade icewm from version 1.9.1-1.0antix1 to version 1.9.2-1.0antix1, following the process indicated on ice-wm.org site.
I installed apparently missing packages : lzip and pkg-config, but got stuck in command line “./configure –prefix=/usr” of indicated process, being asked to install other missing packages.
Considering that this process exceeds by far my small Linux competencies and that the strange behavior encountered is not blocking, I will use my PC as is and just wait for next regular upgrade.
I came to Antix for two main reasons : 1°) I appreciate Debian environment and 2°) systemd causes my computer to crash after I neglected warnings indicating low hdd free space, because of two gigantic syslog and daemon.log files (several tens of GB each) always rapidly increasing. Antix is working fine and I will think very carefully before I do something I do not understand.
Thank you for your interest,
P

I noticed a lot of “systemd” lines in the log and I have the same version installed, but when I look in mine, and I don’t have any of “systemd” lines. I’m not really an expert on these things, but I think that might also be why you are having performance and browser problems.

PPAs are for Ubuntu, not Debian.

Purge all retroarch packages, remove the ppa, update package list (sudo apt update) and install retroarch normally
sudo apt install retroarch

Now, back to the probable main problem. Your title states:

retroarch doesn’t launch on antiX 19.3 i386 core

Are you using a Window Manager or Desktop Environment? Which one? What did you install in your system so that it has a GUI environment?

I tested on antiX 19.3 i386 base and retroarch from the debian repos installs and works properly.
Give us more info on how you set up your system.

antiX Live system enthusiast.
General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.

I’ve recently revived an old laptop with antix, now I’m trying to run retroarch on it. I installed it via this command that I found on their website:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libretro/stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install retroarch*

but now I’m getting a weird error, this laptop has VN800 chipset, which in my mind shouldn’t be interfering with retroarch.

here’s the error:

what happens is that when I launch retro arch, it opens a new black window with the name “broken” hangs for a few seconds and closes.

Thx everyone for your advice.
I have update the kernel to 4.19 and apparently the problem disappeared for now. I will keep using it like this to see if it’s not appearing again.
i didn’t even know the monitor had a menu hidden behind the FUNC. button… I will try that too if the problem comes back.

[Moderator Brian Masinick]

@Xecure: and @Moddit: Gentlemen, I acknowledge the extreme injustice that exists in many places. It’s not absent in the USA either, but there ARE opportunities in this country that are apparently very rare in other regions and countries.

Some of the richest people in the entire world live in the country in which I live, so I am not naive to think there are no inequities or injustices. What I do say is that from where I come there are at least opportunities, and millions of people who grew up in relative (or absolute) poverty, especially 60-90 years ago have children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that have come very far.

My wife and I watched a documentary about recently deceased US Supreme Court justice Ruth Baker Ginsberg. Both Ruth and her husband came from humble means, but they worked hard, overcame obstacle after obstacle, went to college, graduate schools, and studied law. I believe that they were either immigrants or the next generation after immigrants themselves.

Ruth was the only woman graduating in her law school class. She was a soft spoken person, but extremely intelligent, fought injustice and prejudice against herself, a short, out of place person who nevertheless obtained a law degree among men, worked law cases that fought for the justice of men, women, minorities, and anyone else facing injustices. In 1993 she was so recognized – and took so many of her cases – to the Supreme Court – that she was considered to be a Supreme Court Justice. When Bill Clinton took office, shortly thereafter there was a vacancy and several potential candidates emerged. Clinton, not really knowing Ginsberg at the time, interviewed her, and was immediately impressed and in less than 15 minutes, knew that he could nominate her as a Supreme Court Justice, get “recognition” for nominating a woman, and yet at the same time, getting the best possible person on that very important court.

This person, in her lifetime, did more in our country for justice and equality in as many ways as possible. In spite of her fantastic efforts, there are plenty of problems. Nevertheless there are opportunities in the country in which I live because of people like this.

The original immigrants to the USA were outcasts, for the most part, in their countries. Many of the principles that were founded attempted to make provisions to form something better. Hundreds of years later there are still plenty of problems, but I’m here to tell you that the scenarios you gentlemen share are not the scenarios of the majority. In the area in which I now live, you can still see racism and other issues, but you can also see many small businesses that do well. We have a local farmer’s market that operates for a few months each year and we get to directly purchase fruits, vegetables, meats, and hand-made local products that are not made by some big, huge money machine. We purchase things from family owned businesses, very similar to the one that my niece and her husband operate in another state.

The whole world isn’t this way, and not all of our country is (unfortunately) either. But it isn’t all negative. A son of two parents who lived through the “Great Depression” of the 1930s, my father was an American born son of Ukranian parents. His father worked in dirty coal mines in west central Pennsylvania; my grandfather died of coal miner’s lung disease before I was born, but he was able to support a large family, and all of his children, including my father, went on to be successful.

My mother similarly, was born an American of English parents. Her father was an orphan; his wife and their family knew him. My English grandparents moved to the USA in or around 1917 – and I think that my father’s parents came over around the same time – near the first world war. The English family was also poor, but my grandfather was able to be a draftsman, working mostly with machinery – much of which ended up being automotive related. The English family struggled through the wars and the Great Depression but all children did well in school and that next generation did better.

My family started out in humble ways, but grew to success through education and hard work. My father started out doing “underwriter” insurance, a steady, but not particularly high paying position but because of the excellence of his work, great work ethic and high intelligence plus a kind, well spoken manner, my father became an executive in the insurance industry, managing multi-million dollar accounts. Our family never became millionaires, but we were able to also get good educations. I did well in math and science, found an interest in Computer Science, and had a good career. I was NOT a “rock star”, but I was able to survive both good and difficult times.

Stories like this are very common. My wife’s father was a Sicilian-Italian, her mother was Italian. They were extremely bright and resourceful, but Mary’s father did not get a degree or rise up through the ranks. He did teach his children well though. Mary’s brothers are 1. A project management mechanical engineer in automotive technology, 2. A major hotel chain manager, 3. An Emergency medicine doctor. My wife is a retired educator with advanced degrees in speech and language pathology and guidance counseling. My wife has helped students from a relatively poor community successfully navigate school, get admitted to good colleges and many of her students have brought a better future to their families too.

This isn’t just about farming; it is about opportunities; they are not easy, but they do exist in the places I’ve lived, and they exist in agriculture, business, and technology. None of the people in this situations started out “rich” or anything even close. Today, everyone is at least managing well, a few people have been exceptional and took our family legacy from poor, humble beginnings to much more, yet everyone still knows that humble beginning very well.

I would like to start this topic asking how to best solve the recent attack on youtube-dl

You understand that “the attack” is not on the running program in antiX or on any machine, but that the “attack” is against the youtube-dl repo by big “copyright protection” groups to remove the sourcecode from the internet. They claim that using youtube-dl is against “the will of the artists” and that it is stealing (same clame they use against sharing files on the internet, calling it piracy). They want nobody to host the sourcecode so that nobody can keep developing it. Github now has gone back and states that they are not against youtube-dl and are trying to get it back on their repos.

The version running in antiX still works and is continuesly patched by the antiX dev (even if the version number remains the same).

The attack is not on you or any users, but on the creators of the project.

I got an error on my last “submit”, so trying again:
I am aware of the focus of the attack. I guess I rushed ahead.

@Moddit: I had one or two Frank Zappa black vinyl albums from way back. Zappa is one unusual personality but he was a talented musician.

I had a diverse collection of a few classical albums, quite a few jazz albums, a couple of rock albums not frequently played on the radio.

These days I stream most of what I listen to. If I like it enough I will support the artist or group either by attending a concert or purchase media or something that they request.
