      No need to apologise, it wasn’t you driving this 2GB RAM Notebook into swapping

      Phew! I felt awful so thanks for putting me right 🙂

      Apparently my HP G60 has 2+1 = 3GiB RAM – Wow..! because back then there was a surplus of 1.0GiB Memory boards.
      Though I have not attempted video editing 🙂

        Dear moderators (I already talked about this in Mr Masinick)- below is an updated version for the original post of this thread (as far as I know, no perfectly up to date). Feel free to insert the changes in the OP and then delete this post!

        ####

        (Note: Some of this information is for users of the default antiX desktop- IceWM, but all Menu references are common to all antiX desktops IceWM. JWM and Fluxbox. I’m also assume you are using antiX’s “Full” version)- This version of the Original Post was altered in 4/10/2022

        1- Setting up Wi-fi:
        – On current antiX versions (21 and 22) when you start your system, if no cabled internet connection (or an already configured wi-fi connection) is detected, antiX’s network manager (Connman – from “CONnection MANager) automatically pops up.
        You can also, at any time, launch connman using IceWM’s system tray (near the clock there should be at least 3 square icons, that show information about your computer…
        Left click the third icon, counting from the right to the left. Connman Network Settings pops up.
        You can also start “Connman” using Menu > Control Centre > Network > Wifi… (Connman)
        – On Connman’s main window: on the “Status” Tab: by default (maybe to save power) Wi-fi should be set to “Disabled”- is it’s disabled, make sure to left click the “Powered” button (it should be green, not red).
        – Hopefully, a list of all detected Wi-fi networks pops up, available on the “Wireless” tab. Double left click the one you want to connect to and, if needed, enter it’s password (for some reason Connman calls it “Passphrase”). Click the “ok” button. [Note: if, for some reason you don’t see the “Ok” button, use the horizontal slider to “slide the window’s content, so you can see it, in the lower right of the window OR force the window to full screen, by pressing alt + F11 – a tip that should work in any window)
        – To connect to a Wi-fi network, simply left click it and then click the “Connect” button
        *TIP 1: Do need internet access in your laptop and have no wi-fi? If you have a mobile data connection on your android phone, and it’s USB cable, you can try to use that to access the Net from your laptop: your on your 3G/4G/5G phone internet connection. Connect your phone to your antiX computer, find and activate, on your phone the data sharing/ USB sharing data option and turn that on. Click Connman and check if, in the “Wired” Connections you get any indication that a USB connection is on-line. It works just like a ethernet internet connection.
        *TIP 2: You can do a similar procedure to use your Wi-fi on a computer that does not have a Wi-fi card. Access your Wi-fi network from your android device, connect it to your antiX computer using its USB cable, turn on the data sharing option on your phone and check, in connman, if a “Wired” network connection is active and, if so enjoy your Wi-fi internet!

        2- Accessing your files:
        The default File Manager (it’s called “Rox”) looks too different from what you are used to? antiX has no shortage of file managers, you can try something that looks more like a mainstream File Manager (similar to Windows File Explorer, for example) – it’s called ZZZFM (a fork, created by the fórum user Skidoo, of the previous “secondary” File Manager that older versions used to ship with- SpaceFM):
        Menu > Applications > System > ZzzFM
        Do you like ZzzFM/SpaceFM enough to always want to use it to access your files? Make it the default File Manager:
        Menu > Control Centre > Default Applications (it’s the “yellow star” icon) > Click the input field to the right of “File Manager” and select “zzzfm” from the list, Click “Apply”. From now on, when you click the File Manager icon on the toolbar or the menu, or plug in and external drive, etc, it will always launch ZzzFM/SpaceFM.
        Do you miss having Bookmarks, like “Documents”, “Downloads”, etc?
        Open ZzzFM > Go to you “Downloads” folder > SpaceFM “Bookmarks” Menu > Confirm that “Show bookmarks” is checked > Click “add bookmark”.
        A bookmark to your Downloads folder instantly appears on the left side bar.
        You can create bookmarks to any folder you want to, repeating this process. To create a bookmark to your “Home” folder, where your files are stored, navigate to “/home/”, click the folder with your username and then “add bookmark”, etc.
        Do you want to see previews of your files ( picture and video files)?
        Open ZzzFM > ZzzFM “View” Menu > Preferences > Check “Show thumbnails” > Click “Ok”

        Do you want to search for a specific file (by file name or file content)?
        Menu > Applications> Acessories > SearchMonkey

        Can I access files from my usb thumbdrive, external drive?
        Any external drive should automaticaly come up on your screen, on your default file manager. If it does not, and you are using ZzzFM file manager, open it and check if your drive is listed on the “Devices” list, on the upper left corner of the screen. If it is, left click it to access it.

        Can I access files stored on the cloud?
        Sure:
        – use the file storage web interface or;
        – install any available interface (“Dropbox” and “Mega” can be installed from Package Manager). There are, at the present time, no official interfaces to “Google Drive” or Microsoft Cloud (AKA “Onedrive”) for Linux, but you can install “Open Drive” from Package Manager- that allows access to those services).
        – WARNING – THIS PROCEDURE IS RELATIVELY COMPLEX: you can also setup “Google Drive” to be accessed from your File Manager just like it was an external drive.
        I created a script that allows antiX users to access cloud service drives ( like Google Drive, Ms OneDrive, etc) using rclone. You can get it by installing the package “ft10-transformation”.
        You can also manually get the a version of the script here: https://github.com/PPC-scripts/access_cloud
        Save the antiX version of the script to your computer. On your File Manager right click the file and make it “executable” (using ZzzFM/SpaceFM: select the file and press CTRL + P. In the permission window, check the “Executable” field, then click the “ok” button.

        When you have “access_cloud” installed, before being able to access your cloud drive, First, you have to configure your account (Google Drive can be automatically configured) then just click the name of the account and it’s contents open in your default File Manager. Please note that all other Cloud Drives have to be manually set up, using a menu driven by numbered choices, from a terminal window…

        3- Do you want to update your system?

        IMPORTANT:
        by default antiX does not automatically update it self (like most Operating Systems). You have to check for updates and install them!
        Menu > antiX > antiX Updater > enter your password if asked to > wait to see if there are any updates, if there are a black window with white letters pops up, listing all available updates – just press the “enter” key (yes, in the keyboard) and the update starts. A warning will pop up when the process is finished- Click its button and you are done.
        OR
        If you installed and enabled the automatic update checker (it’s not installed by default in current antiX versions because it uses system resources), just click it’s icon on the tray next to the clock
        OR
        Menu > Terminal and type this commands (or copy and paste them in the terminal):
        sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

        OR
        sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

        Enter your password if asked to, and wait for the update process to finish.

        4- Do you want to install an application?
        There are so many ways to install stuff in Linux in general and antiX in particular! Read this antiX forum thread: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/how-to-install-applications-2020-version/
        Quick start: Press the “Shopping Bag” icon on the toolbar, right next to the “Menu” button, to open “Package Manager” (or Menu > Control Centre > “System” tab > “Package Manager”)
        Search for what you want to install. A black terminal window pops up during the install process. If it asks you to confirm something, just press the “enter” key to accept the default answer (ex: yes, I want to install all available updates- NB on some very rare occasions, like when updating GRUB or installing Drivers, you may need to answer questions, like choosing where to install Grub, etc.- be very careful selecting the correct option!- I think that you use “tab” to highlight your selection- please do check this!), and wait for the installation to finish.
        Note: this is only to install essential software or very used applications: web browsers (Google Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Tor Browser), Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client, Java, Wine, Steam, the most recent LibreOffice and GIMP versions, VLC media player, etc.
        If you want access to ALL available (Debian and antiX) applications, run “Synaptic package manager” (Menu > Control Centre > “System” tab > “Synaptic Package Manager” > enter your password if asked to > select what you want to install)
        In case you want to remove any application from your system, Synaptic is also the graphical way (GUI) to do that– WARNING: as in any system, be very careful when deleting apps- delete only apps that you installed, and, except if you know what you are doing: DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE ANTIX DEFAULT APPLICATIONS– you may “brick your system” – unlike in other OS, you can do exactly what you want, remove anything, there are no “sacred corporate apps”- this also means that you can remove stuff that you should not remove, if you want to have a fully working system!

        5- Can you install Ubuntu repositories, PPA’s, Snap files or other Ubuntu specific software?
        Sure, it’s a free world. Install Ubuntu or any of it’s countless derivative OS’s.
        Install .deb files meant for others OS’s on antiX at your own risk, because you can harm your system, and end up needing to reinstall it.

          I would also like to understand why Google Chrome does not work well in the Fluxbox environment. I can’t click on the antiX forum menu to get the “Recent Posts”. This has nothing to do with your nice program, I am aware of that.

          At the time when I reported this about two years ago this issue affected also IceWM. In the course of time it was fixed for IceWM but apparently not for Fluxbox as yet…
          In terms of understanding what is causing this issue, originally it was attributed to some handling of mouse clicks on Google Chrome/Chromium. You can find details searching those original posts from about two years ago of this forum under something like ‘Drop down menu items’.
          JWM unlike Fluxbox and IceWM never had this issue.

            FT10 is not dead. Just because it’s so time consuming to develop it – and it seems not to have many users- since I made it so feature rich (and as bug free as I could make it), I’ve just played with some ideas, that could be included in a future version- as always, all input is welcome:

            -Include, in FT10’s zzzfm customizes setup, an option that allows users to launch an Appimage by left clicking it, just like a normal executable file (no need to change the file properties and then right click it and choose to execute it)
            -Eventually, including a script that extracts a .desktop file from an Appimage and makes the Appimage available from the menu, just like if it was installed like a regular .deb package
            -Basic installation and configuration of flatpaks, including also an already existing GUI that allows users to change fltapak permissions (in antiX, flatpaks, by default seem not to be able to access your home folder, so, you can’t use a flatpak to open or save any kind of file without changing it’s permissions first, making flatpaks very hard to use for the average user… Also I have to make a script to “install” the flatpak’s .desktops file to the regular folder, thus making flatpak applications available from the menu
            -Make available another Window Switcher, that allows to drag and drop windows between virtual workspaces (strangely the same app also works as a kind of dock and also app launcher- it’s like android’s home screen + app searcher + window switcher, all-in-one)
            -Make available Wallon’s icewm’s keybinding’s ( windows key + Up/Down/Left/Right) to snap windows to the corners of the screen…
            -Make available the option to press ctrl+alt+m and see a flashing circle around the mouse pointer (apparently it’s a thing in other OSes)
            -Make available Skidoo’s MX’s Package Installer, compiled for antiX- that includes the option to install any package from the debian repository, allowing access to almost all existing packages all in the same GUI ( reducing the need to use P.I. + synaptic to install applications).
            -Make available some IcewM themes (Light/Dark Windowz like themes and maybe a Apple like theme too)
            -Make some extra changes, like making it easier to change the Tiles from the Tiled Menu (that is very hard to do- I don’t want to get “burned” again messing with complex scripts)

            And yes: improve localization!!!

            Any thoughts on that? Any more ideas?

            P.

              Thank you all!

              ——————–
              PPC-

              No PPA additions in the future – was experimenting with it only on very updated (day old) current live snapshot media, to see if would be work, but that was probably a bad idea also.

              Thanks for the information.
              —————-
              Ile –

              I have edited conky in the past, but had never added lines that did not exist in it to make a custom version. Thanks for your help, pictures, and especially your persistence! Please see attached “Onboard” and conky with battery addition – handy.

              As a temporary fix until “indicator-keylock” could be installed, was using virtual keyboard (Onboard) and shrinking it down. It stays on top of what is opened and the caps-lock lights red when in use.

              But now I have the real thing.
              —————
              ModdIt –

              Success – I had tried installing the MX version so many times before and came up with the dependencies issue – so thanks for posting!

                Adding the repository for it “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tsbarnes/indicator-keylock” – “command not found”.

                Any suggestions?

                Yes, I have one suggestion- never, ever try to install a PPA in antiX, please read the sticky posts on the forum, with essential info on using antiX.
                More detailed explanation – a .deb included in a PPA may work perfecly fine in antiX (I’ve used them often), but you risk breaking your system- it may force the instalation of dependencies that are not the same versions that the rest of the system expect, and you end up with a brick, forcing you to reinstall your system – it’s ok if you are running live or just want to checkout if a particular .deb from a PPA is safe to use- in those cases, if you are sure that you don’t mind breaking a system, use said .deb files, otherwise, see the Sticky post about how to install apps in antiX…

                Try Moddit’s suggestion. If it fails to work, use web search engines and try to find a similar app…

                Edit: I just tried in my antiX 21 netbook – in fact I get a dependency that can’t be solved: libappindicator3-1 (>=0.2.92)
                If I find any suitable replacement, for a caps-lock indicator app in the system tray, I’ll post it here…

                P.

                  Had you searched you would have found-

                  http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/i/indicator-keylock/
                  has suitable safe debs for buster bullseye stretch.
                  Please download and install.

                  Any suggestions?

                  Please save yourself pain, never use PPA in antiX.

                  That has been repeated in dozens of posts. PPA are for buntu, buntu is in many ways a different
                  system based on debian sid. If your addition pulls in sid dependancys you will probably have a non recoverable mess
                  and a reinstall to do.

                    Hi-

                    My T450s ThinkPads have no indicator light when caps are on. Does antiX 21 have a keylock indicator that can be downloaded or installed?

                    MX 21 has Indicator-keylock, and this app has always worked in antiX, but I have not been able to install it in antiX 21 – missing dependencies. I think.

                    Adding the repository for it “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tsbarnes/indicator-keylock” – “command not found”.

                    Any suggestions?

                    Thank you.

                      Thanks for the reply @christophe.

                      What I gleaned from your reply by reading between the lines, is that if you choose one of the options that persists home, then home will be saved immediately (probably multiple times) as you are running the live system. You do NOT have the option at shutdown to tell the system not to save home, like you do when you persist root using the semi-automatic mode.

                      I see the value in immediate saves for home – hopefully that would prevent you from losing data if your system crashes. But there are times when I envision myself not wanting this. There are times when I might take the risk of losing home in a crash, and want home saved only on command. But I don’t see any way to defer saving home until shutdown like you can saving root. Apparently home always saves immediately (assuming it’s set to be saved in the first place). i.e., Home persistence is always “static”, and never held in ram.

                      I think I understand home persistence now. It’s just not exactly like I would prefer. I would prefer home persistence to have the same options available as root persistence.

                        but it is happening on another Lenovo T500 being used as a test bed for Antix 22.

                        Looking around the web I’ve found that the “No session for pid…” error apparently has a history going back quite awhile (2014?) but I’ve found no applicable resolutions (Ubuntu doesn’t count) so I am wondering if there’s a known solution to both the “pid” error and the’no shutdown’ option.

                        TIA,

                          Dear PPC,

                          Test done with IceWM and LibreOffice.
                          augusteBurin is right. The characters éèàù… are translated with cigles %C3%A9%B5….

                          I also noticed that if I did a test with creating a *.txt file (with letters éèùàïô) with the zzzFM, the file does not appear in the list of recent documents. Apparently, it does not find all the documents created or used.

                          Sorry, I thought this was related to the installation of the UTF-8…. language and it is not.

                          Best regards,
                          Wallon

                            Hi all,

                            The past few days I have noticed that full-upgrades have mentioned that ghostscript and ghostscript-x upgrades are available but are being held back. Tonight, I checked and found that their dependencies libgs10 and libgs-common were the apparent reason.

                            libgs10 and libgs-common replace libgs9 and libgs9-common but apt install considered them as new installs and I think that is why apt full-upgrade didn’t offer to install them and held back ghostscript and ghostscript-x upgrades.

                            When I ran apt install libgs10, automagically it sought to remove libgs9 and libgs9-common, install both libgs10 and libgs-common and upgrade ghostscript and ghostscript-x.

                            Since new packages have been automagically installed in the past on my Sid install when an upgrade required them, I am puzzled at the failure of this for the ghostscript upgrade.

                              Speaking of the Liquorix kernel, here are the choices this particular kernel makes and the trade-offs associated with these choices; the result is an extremely responsive INTERACTIVE kernel:

                              * PDS Process Scheduler: Fair process scheduler for gaming, multimedia, and real-time loads.
                              * High Resolution Scheduling: 1000hz tick rate for precise low jitter task scheduling.
                              * Preemptible tree-based hierarchical RCU: RCU implementation for real-time systems.
                              * Hard Kernel Preemption: Most aggressive kernel preemption before requiring real-time patches. Guarantees responsive system under high intensity mixed workload scenarios.
                              * Budget Fair Queue: Proper disk scheduler optimized for desktop usage, high throughput / low latency.
                              * TCP BBR2 Congestion Control: Fast congestion control, maximizes throughput, guaranteeing higher speeds than Cubic.
                              * Compressed Swap: Swap storage is compressed with LZ4 using zswap
                              * Multigenerational LRU: Alternative LRU algorithm that performs better under high memory pressure and uptimes
                              * Binary Builds For Popular Debian Distros: Binary builds are produced for Debian Stable, Testing, and Unstable. Ubuntu builds are available on the Liquorix PPA same day within hours of Debian releases going up.
                              * Distribution Kernel Drop-in Replacement: Proper distribution style configuration supporting broadest selection of hardware.
                              * Paravirtualization options enabled to reduce overhead under virtualization.
                              * Minimal Debugging: Minimum number of debug options enabled to increase kernel throughput.

                                Bonjour Augusto du Quatar Libre et climatisé,

                                mouseup :
                                merci pour ton retour.
                                Apparemment, c’est bien 22 ou 23 qu’il faut surveiller.
                                À la lecture du fichier .txt que tu as joint, effectivement c’est soit 22, soit 23.
                                Je te suggère de tester l’un puis l’autre.

                                script angliche 🙂 :
                                Oui, j’ai vu le script de Vincent17 qui a le mérite d’être très court (le script pas Vincent17). 🙂
                                Tu as tout compris.
                                Lors d’un session antiX, ouvre leafpad ou geany.
                                En exergue tu mets #!/bin/bash, puis à partir de la ligne suivante tu colles le script de Vincent17 où tu as parfaitement converti 15 minutes en 1 minute.
                                Par contre, le sleep est à 120 secondes, soit 2 minutes. Si ça te va, ne change rien, sinon pour tester tu peux descendre à 60 : je te laisse juge.
                                Tu enregistres le fichier là où tu veux et tu donnes un nom avec ou sans l’extension .sh.
                                Puis, à partir d’un terminal, tu vas à l’endroit où tu as sauvegardé le fichier, et enfin tu le rends cherchable et exécutable avec :
                                sudo chmod a+x [nom du fichier]
                                puis pour terminer Entrée ou Enter, peut-être qu’il faudra saisir ton mot de passe.
                                Dans le même terminal, tu saisis :
                                sudo [nom du fichier]
                                puis Entrée ou Enter, peut-être faudra-t-il saisir ton mot de passe, puis observes ce qu’il se passe.
                                Pardon d’avoir fait du B.A. BA.

                                Amuses toi bien.

                                  I’ll have to dig into this a bit; I did try to build a couple of times, based on a quick read of the documentation.

                                  Apparently I have not read everything, because it’s not quite as simple as one of the documents suggest; that is, a ./configure; make; make install DOES NOT by default build the software; that’s a classic way to do it but apparently there is more to it than that; I’ll read in detail later and see if I can figure out what’s missing; probably system and architecture specific setup BEFORE running that sequence of commands.

                                  If anyone beats me to it I’m more than happy to learn for your experience.
