Search Results for 'ssh'

I need a remote access app to control another PC on my network. In the past, I’ve used Remmina but when I install this into Antix it only supports the SSH protocol. I need the VNC protocol which I always had in Remmina before. The only VNC app I found in Package Installer was X11VNCServer but I need the viewer on the Antix PC – not the server. Is there a vncviewer app available or some way to add it to the VNC protocol to Remmina?

Below is the step by step guide to install the crispy, nimble, lean and mean antiX-Base for computers ranging from 30 year olds to the latest.

The below guide has been edited to incorporate the suggestions by experts after scrutiny. There is a section under the heading “CHANGING THE DEFAULT SETTINGS”. It is recommended that the default settings be maintained. If you do not want to change the default settings, you can skip this section and directly go to the next, ‘USER SETTINGS’ section. Still if anybody feels that the default settings need to be customized to fit their needs, they can attempt the changes as given under the section, while taking note of the caveats there in.

Normally you should be able to setup a working antiX system with the help of this guide. Still if you face any difficulties, feel free to discuss them on the forum by creating a new thread mentioning your issue in the topic heading. Please kindly give a link to your new thread here that you have created seeking solution to your issue, and post here briefly describing your issue. Suitable changes can be made to this guide depending upon the discussions in that new thread of yours, so that others who face the same issue can benefit from it. Let us together keep this guide dynamic and evolving.

I personally have created more than 20 threads till now to seek solutions faced while installing antiX and using it and to understanding the working of antiX. Many honorable members of the forum, who have been using antiX for a long time, the moderators of the forum and the antiX team have guided me into learning to use antiX and it is the education recieved from them, that has enabled me to compile this guide. You too can find solutions to any of your issues on the forum. The enthusiastic members of the forum and the antiX team are highly benevolent and would help.

I thank all the honorable members for suggesting improvements in the guide through their meticulous scrutinizing efforts.

DOWNLOAD

Download the ‘antiX-Base ISO image’ from the website: https://antixlinux.com.

Also download the corresponding md5, sha256 and sig files to check the integrity of the downloaded ISO image.

Place all these files including the ISO image in the same folder. It helps to verify the integrity of the downloaded ISO image.

After download verify the integrity of the downloaded ISO image as bellow:

VERIFICATION OF THE INTEGRITY OF THE ISO FILE

Verifying, any one of the md5sum or sha256sum will be enough.

The below documented procedure can work on a Linux system. However if you are on a Windows system now, I have given a link below where the procedure to do verify the integrity of an ISO file on windows is given.

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=291093

Verifying the integrity of an ISO file on any Linux system:
Find the path to your downloaded folder. If you go to the downloaded folder with the help of SpaceFM file manager (or any File manager, depending upon the current Operating System, your computer is installed with.), the path to your downloaded folder is given on the toolbar when you open the downloaded folder. If suppose your ISO file is downloaded to the ‘Downloads’ folder, the path would be ‘/home/your-username/Downloads’. If you have saved your ISO file somewhere else, it would be different.

Let us say, the names of the files that were downloaded are as below; (Yours could be different.)

antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.
antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.md5
antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.sha256

Note, the first alphabet ‘a’ in ‘antiX’ is small letter and the last letter ‘X’ is in capitals. That’s how the antiX OS is named.

Open a root terminal (Menu > Applications > System > Root Terminal.) and go to the folder where you downloaded the ISO by typing ‘cd’ followed by the path to your folder in the terminal, as shown below;

cd /path to your downloaded folder/antiX-19-2-1-x64-base

(Here I have given the example file name. Yours could be different. Also change to the name of the file that you have downloaded.)

Now you are inside the downloaded folder.

Verifying md5sum

Verify the md5sum of the iso file, by typing the command in the Terminal as shown below;

md5sum antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso

Do not forget to change to the name of the file that you have downloaded.

You will get a number as output, as shown below (yours may be different); (Do not close the terminal yet.)

53ec93c66f0ba7231f5a2aaf2fcb312b antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso

Verify this number with the number given inside the antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.md5 file. Both should be the same. Otherwise your downloaded image may have been compromised or got corrupt. So you have to download again.

Verifying sha256sum

Next, verify the sha256sum of the iso file, as shown below;

sha256sum antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso

Do not forget to change to the name of the file that you have downloaded.

You will get a number as output, as shown below (yours may be different); (Do not close the terminal yet).

1bdcd8c460bb7b0dd498588c6f459906e06eea24e2048f63815a14c6f54cb959 antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso

Verify this number with the number given inside the antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.sha256 file. Both should be the same. Otherwise your downloaded image may have been compromised or got corrupt. So you have to download again, preferably from a different mirror.

Minimize the Terminal.

Now verify the signature as follows.

Verification of signature

Open a new terminal.

To check the signature type the command to import the key in the terminal;

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 4A0C4F9C

And then in the terminal of the ISO folder, the one that you have minimized, type this command;

gpg --verify antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.sig antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso

Again do not forget to change to the name of the file that you have downloaded.

The result would be similar to this;

gpg: Signature made Sun 29 Mar 2020 08:52:05 PM IST
gpg:                using RSA key 30AA418A0C723D937B50A986A80582E000067FDD
gpg: Good signature from "anticapitalista <antiX@operamail.com>" (unknown)
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 30AA 418A 0C72 3D93 7B50  A986 A805 82E0 0006 7FDD

If the above fails, do this;

To check the signature type the command first to import the key in the terminal;

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B9B6375C 0679EE98 892C32F1

And then in the terminal of the ISO folder, the one that you have minimized, type this command;

gpg --verify antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.sig antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso

Again do not forget to change to the name of the file that you have downloaded.

The result would be similar to this;

(ak@ak-RV509 ~)$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B9B6375C 0679EE98 892C32F1
gpg: key 13C74A22892C32F1: public key "Steven Pusser <stevep@mxlinux.org>" imported

gpg: Total number processed: 3
gpg:               imported: 3
(ak@ak-RV509 ~)$  

Close this newly opened terminal, now.

Then type the following command in the terminal you have minimized, to check the signature;

gpg --verify antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.sig

The result would be similar to this;

(ak@ak-RV509 antiX-19-2-1-x64-base)$ gpg --verify antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso.sig
gpg: assuming signed data in 'antiX-19.2.1_x64-base.iso'

(ak@ak-RV509 antiX-19-2-1-x64-base)$ 

The warning in the last few lines is related to the trust that you put in the antiX signing key. The ISO image is still correct, and valid according to the antiX signing key that you downloaded.

CREATING THE BOOTABLE USB

You will need a minimum of 2GB SD card or USB drive for installation purposes. If you are aspiring to have a persistence USB live then you would need more. Refer to this link to know more about persistence: https://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/docs-antiX-19/FAQ/persistence.html.

You can even create it on a DVD. The same procedure for both.

Now create the bootable USB with the ISO image of antiX-19.2.1-x64-Base ISO image as follows.

For this you need a software called “USBMaker-git”. It is available on most Linux distributions, in the package installer. Install it if it is not already installed. I have verified this. This procedure can be done on many Live USB making software which are available on many Linux distros. Just try and verify which works for. Or else you can create the bootable usb on an antiX OS. There is a bootable usb maker which has been created by the antiX team, and it is installed by default in anitiX OS. Start it from Menu > Applications > antiX > Live USB maker. If you are on Windows OS, it suggested and recommended by experts that, Rufus USB making software is suitable.

After launching the USB maker, follow the simple instructions as follows. The process is similar on most of the USB makers. I am giving here the procedure on USBMaker-git.

Device
At the top, the device is the USB drive you have chosen to create the bootable device, namely the card reader and card inside it. You will need a minimum of 2GB sd card for this.

Partition scheme
Leave the partition scheme as MBR if the computer you are going to install is old with BIOS setup. If the computer is new with UEFI setup then you choose GPT scheme. Next choose the file system as FAT32.

Cluster size – default.

Volume label
Give a volume label of your liking, such that you can recognize what is inside the SD card.

ISO Image
Next click on the 3 dots button. Browse to the location of the ISO you have downloaded. That’s it. Click start. Your bootable USB will be created.

BIOS SETUP

Next you have to set your computer to boot from your installation USB. To do this you have to enter into BIOS setup section of the computer.

Most computers don’t need this setting up of BIOS to install an OS from USB. They are already setup to boot from USB as the first priority. So first try and see if your computer would boot into your USB. If it doesn’t then set up the BIOS to boot from USB as the first priority as mentioned below.

To setup your BIOS to boot from USB, restart your computer, and immediately after powering on the computer, start pressing, F2 or F4 or F8 or it could be other keys too. Each computer has a different key.

Once you enter BIOS, navigate to Boot section using the arrow keys. Read the instructions on the right thoroughly. There, set the boot priority to boot from USB as the topmost or the first option, then CD/DVD drive and then Hard disk. That’s it. Save and exit. You will be automatically booted into your Live USB installation, now. You will get a boot menu. Select the antiX OS and hit enter.

PARTITIONING THE HARD DISK

This is the most serious part. If you are going to use the entire Hard disk, no problem. If you have some partitions on which there is some data, you need to be careful. If you make the smallest mistake your data on the Hard disk can get corrupted or get washed clean. So make a backup of your HD. Do this with great caution. Take the steps only when you are sure enough. I recommend that you should watch some video tutorials or read some websites on ‘how to use Gparted to make partitions’, before proceeding.

Though it is possible to create partitions during installations I prefer to create partitions before installation leisurely, instead of doing it in the midst of installation process. Use Gparted to do it. If you are comfortable doing it during installation, no worries. It is a guided process. You can do as you prefer.

The Linux OS files are stored on a partition called as the root (/) partition, which holds all the system files. It must be formatted preferably as ext4 and mounted on /.

The Linux OS stores the user files like, Documents, Downloads, Videos, Music etc on a directory called /home directory (the forward slash ‘/’ is for root and the ‘home’ folder which houses the, Documents, Downloads, Videos, Music etc is placed inside the root partition). All the user settings & configurations are also placed in this /home folder as hidden folders.

It must be formatted preferably as ext4 and mounted on /home.

Some users prefer to keep this /home folder on a separate partition. Or you can choose to have no separate partition for home and choose to keep it as a directory in the root. You get an option to do this during the installation process. You can do as you prefer.

The Linux OS Does NOT need a separate partition called /home. /home is only needed in case you don’t want the user files to be stored in the /root partition or if you want a user accessible from different installed (Multiple boot) systems. The reason some people prefer to have a separate partition is, in case they wreck their system and have to go for a re-installation, they will not loose what is on their separate home partition. So the choice is yours. During installation, you can specify the /home to be inside root or as a separate partition.

The Linux OS optionally needs a partition called Swap for memory when your RAM gets all filled. It must be formatted as swap. SWAP is optional. If you are tight on RAM, you will benefit from having a swap partition. Or else it is not necessary.

Give about 10 to 15GB space for ‘root’ depending upon the type and size of applications you are going to use. Then, if you are creating a Swap partition, give it 1.5 times the size of your RAM for ‘swap’ (If your RAM is 3GB, your Swap should be 3×1.5=4.5GB). And keep the rest for /home.

If you choose to do the partitions during installation, almost the same procedure is to be carried out.

INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM

Most of the installation process is automated. However, before going for installation you must setup the internet connection.

Starting Internet

Setting up the WiFi internet connection: Use the Connection-manager icon, the two arrows, at the right bottom to get it going. Right click the two arrows, and left click WiFi to turn it on. Next left click the Connection-manager icon and hold it down. It should pop up a list of available WiFi networks. Give it a few seconds to fill the list. Move to the one you want and then release the left button. It should pop up the password prompt. Type it in and click apply. You should see some yellow and red vertical bars in the WiFi network monitor to the right, and the little x next to the arrows on the Connection-manager icon will disappear. If you face difficulties, you can watch this video here – https://www.antiXforum.com/forums/topic/wifi-with-connman-antiX-19-2/.

If you have an Ethernet connection, just plug in the Ethernet cable from your modem, enter the username password given to you by your service provider.

If you cannot connect to either the WiFi or the Ethernet, just tether your phone with a USB data cable and choose the tethering options in your phone. Your data must be ON. It will be easily connected. You must be aware that, the first update & upgrade will consume about 400 MB of data plus any applications that you would manually install.

Update and upgrade

Now update and upgrade with following commands, in the terminal. You can also use antiX Updater (Menu > Applications > antiX > antiX Updater) which does both steps in a single gui program.

sudo apt-get update

Hit enter and type your password when asked and hit enter. The default password in the antiX Live USB is ‘demo’. Your password will not be displayed on the screen. Just type it correctly and hit enter blindly. After the update is complete, type the following in the terminal;

sudo apt-get upgrade

Choose the partitions

On the desktop there is a shortcut to start the installation process. Single click on it. Remember, double click will bring error notification. You are on ROX-IceWM, so single click is what you need to launch applications. However, if you need the double click option, you can do the following.

Menu > Applications > System > Rox Filer > Right click on any empty space inside the file manager > Options > Filer windows > Disable “Right-click navigation”.

Next choosing the partitions, if you have already created the partitions. If you haven’t the guided process will take you through.

During the installation, choosing the correct partitions is a serious matter. Those partitions are formatted before installation by the installer. Even if you choose not to format the /home partition, you must format the /root partition. So you have to choose the right partitions. If you choose something else by mistake your data on that partition will be washed off.

Setting Language & timezone & Username

While the installation process is going on, click on the next buttons to set up your time, date, timezone, keyboard, username, password etc. No need to hurry, the installation process will wait till you have finished doing it. That’s it. The rest will be taken care of by the USB installer.

After installation, shut down the computer, remove the USB and start the computer. You will be booted into the new OS.

SETTING UP THE NEW antiX OS

Once you boot into the new OS, the first step is to update and upgrade, if you have not done it in the Live USB stick before installation.

Update and upgrade

You are automatically connected to the internet using your earlier setup during installation.

If you have not updated and upgraded before installation, now is the time to do it by the procedure described above, before installation.

Restart. It is always good to restart once after large system wide updates, upgrades or installations, you may not do this for small individual package installations.

Package Installer

Then open the package installer (The shopping bag icon) from the left bottom of the desktop. Select the applications you would like to install. Don’t forget to select “Synaptic” from Package-Management drop-down list. You will need this to install packages from several repositories.

Restart.

Synaptic package Manager

Now open the ‘Synaptic package Manager’ from the Menu > Applications > System

In the package manager go to;

Settings > Preferences > General > Select/enable ‘Consider recommended packages as dependencies’ > Apply & OK.

Next, search and select from the following packages, which you may find necessary for your daily work. The below list shows the most common applications used by the home user. If you need anything else, search and select, ‘mark for installation’. Though by default, antiX-Base has almost all the necessary packages, I am just giving a hint to get your system ready to do all the tasks a home user would do. Omit if you have already installed from the Package Installer.

Audacity – (To edit audio files.)
Catfish – (This is a good file searching software. There is a default SpaceFM search, if it is OK for you.)
Chromium – (Browser. You have the Firefox-esr by default.)
Gdebi – (To install debian packages.)
GIMP – (For editing images)
Gnome Disks Utility – (You may need it to create mount options for your other external partitions)
Ibus – (This is necessary to do typing in regional languages.) Ensure all the following dependencies are installed. You must configure Ibus by starting Ibus from Preferences > Yes > OK > The the IBUS preferences box will open. If it doesn’t you should start by right clicking on the icon in your right tray > Preferences > Input method > Add > Select your language. > Add. You will then have to copy and place your language ‘Fonts’ folder by downloading from the web, inside the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/. And then configure LibreOfficeWriter by going to > Tools → Options → Language settings → Languages Check Enabled for Complex Text Layout(CTL) and Choose your language in Default languages for Documents (CTL).

You may need to install the following ibus dependencies depending upon your language. Verify it from the web.
ibus-m17n
ibus-table-extraphrase
ibus-gtk
ibus-gtk3
ibus-qt4 (Ignore this if it is not available on the repositories.)
ibus-table
ibus-clutter
Kolourpaint – (Like MS paint)
Libreoffice – (MS Office like package)
Media Info gui- (To extract technical information of video files.)
VLC – (Video/Audio player)
Vnstat – (Command line Interface to extract Internet traffic information)
gnome-Screenshot – (To take screenshots. There is a default screenshot app, if it is OK with you.)
Virtualbox – (For creating Virtual machines.)
Zim – (This is a note making software.)

Avidemux – (To edit video files. Install if you do this kind of work.)

There is no Debian package for Avidemux application. There is a thing called AppImage. AppImage is a format for distributing portable software on Linux without needing superuser permissions to install the application. It contains an app and all the files the app needs to run.

You can download the latest Avidemux package here: http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/download.html.

If you want Tor Browser, you can see this (https://www.antiXforum.com/forums/topic/tor-browser-installation-signature-verification-failed/) link for a manual to do it.

These packages are enough for day to day functions. Select ones that you need and click apply. After finishing, restart.

Now that all packages have been installed, you can customize the Desktop and other settings.

CHANGING THE DEFAULT SETTINGS

An important information, before you go for changing the default settings:

It is preferred and recommended that you use the OS as it comes. However, every person has different requirements. The default applications shown in the panel to the left & right bottoms, could be subjectively appropriate for you or not. Like if you often switch between workspaces, having the workspaces on the toolbar really helps. If you do not, it simply holds space that can be given to other applications that you use every now and then. Similarly, other applications displayed on the toolbar. If you feel, it helps to keep some of the most often used applications there and remove the ones you use less often. You can do so by the following method. Here I will take certain examples and change accordingly. The same procedure applies to any application. You can follow that to your liking. However there is a caveat here;

Any change in the default settings, will be overwritten and return to default settings, if in future you install/upgrade/remove any program using the Synaptic, because of the special hook in apt. So whenever you do so, you will have to repeat these changes.

Keep that in mind.

If you do not want any changes to the default system, you skip these steps and directly jump to, USER SETTINGS, below.

Desktop right-bottom tray

If you don’t like the ‘CPU status’ and ‘Memory status’ (There is already Conky on the desktop doing almost the same thing. If you want to disable Conky and keep these, see below.) in the right-bottom tray and the ‘Workspaces switching buttons’ in Left-bottom, you can remove them by doing as below. Workspaces can be accessed with Control+Alt+right/left arrow mark keys alternatively.

Open the ‘Control center’ from the Menu. In the Control-center > Desktop > Edit IceWM settings > Preferences

The text editor will open.

Click on ‘preferences’. (Whatever you edit here, will take effect only after a fresh ‘logon’.)

Search for ‘# Show RAM usage in CPU status tool tip
# CPUStatusShowRamUsage=1 # 0/1’ in the search box given above. Change 1 to 0, like this ‘TaskBarShowCPUStatus=0’.

Search for ‘# Show CPU status on task bar
TaskBarShowCPUStatus=1 # 0/1’ in the search box given above. Change 1 to 0, like this ‘TaskBarShowCPUStatus=0’.

Search for ‘# Show memory usage status on task bar (Linux only)
TaskBarShowMEMStatus=1 # 0/1’ in the search box given above. Change 1 to 0, like this ‘TaskBarShowMEMStatus=0’.

Search for ‘# Show workspace switching buttons on task bar
TaskBarShowWorkspaces=1 # 0/1’ in the search box given above. Change 1 to 0, like this ‘TaskBarShowWorkspaces=0’.

Don’t close the text editor, yet.

Desktop left-bottom

Next if you don’t like the default applications given in the left-bottom. Instead, if you want Terminal, Notes (a note keeping software), Leafpad (Notepad equivalent), Calculator, Screenshot, Firefox, Chromium, ‘SpaceFM-File Manager’ and Unplug Removable Device. To change the current set and bring yours there in place of them, do as below.

In the same the text editor, click on ‘toolbar’. There is a list of apps there. The scheme of the settings is;

prog “app-name-to-be-displayed” path-to-app-icon app-executable

Just add a ‘#’ before those applications which you don’t want in the left-bottom of your desktop. And add any new ones you want to be shown there. I have added some and hashed out some. You can take this as an example and change it according to your requirement. The final edited set looks as below.

### Commonly used applications
prog “Terminal” terminal.png roxterm
prog “Notes” zim.png zim
prog “Leafpad” leafpad.png leafpad
prog “Calculator” galculator.png galculator
prog “Firefox” firefox.png firefox
prog “Chromium” chromium.png chromium
prog “File Manager” spacefm.png spacefm
prog “Unplug Removable Device” /usr/share/icons/papirus-antiX/48×48/devices/drive-removable-media-usb.png unplugdrive.sh
#prog “Software Installer” /usr/share/icons/papirus-antiX/48×48/apps/packageinstaller.png su-to-root -X -c packageinstaller
#prog “File Manager” /usr/share/icons/papirus-antiX/48×48/apps/file-manager.png desktop-defaults-run -fm
#prog “File Manager as root” /usr/share/icons/papirus-antiX/48×48/places/folder-red.png su-to-root -X -c rox
#prog “Web Browser” /usr/share/icons/papirus-antiX/48×48/apps/web-browser.png desktop-defaults-run -b

The path to the app icons need not be shown. The system knows where those are placed. Sometimes the system may fail to locate icons. If that occurs you have to find the icon and show the path to that icon here.

Conky disabling

There is the ‘conky’ (system details displayer) placed on the right-top of the desktop. If you want you can keep it. This is how you remove it.

Open ‘control-center’. Session > User Desktop session.

A text editor will open. Click on ‘desktop-session.conf’. Search for LOAD_CONKY=”true”. Change it to false like this;

LOAD_CONKY=”false”.

Conky will not be displayed after a fresh logon.

Now close the editor and the control-center and logoff and logon. All your changes must take effect. If they don’t, you have done something wrong or you need to show the paths. Re-edit and check. You can even copy from the above list given by me here, under ‘### Commonly used applications’, and paste in the toolbar.

Menu updating – manual

Now after installation of applications from the Synaptic or from outside the repositories, if any of the apps are not shown in the Menu, do the following. However, before that, it is recommended using the “Refresh Menu” (It’s on the Menu list) or the command “desktop-menu –write-out-global” if your applications was installed manually (after installing with gdebi, for example). If this doesn’t work for you do the following.

Open the ‘Rox filer’ file manager from the Menu > System, inside the /home/your-username/ folder, at the top, click on the ‘eye’ symbol to show hidden files. Open the ‘.icewm’ folder. Open ‘menu-applications’ by right clicking on it and clicking on ‘Edit as root’.

There is the list of applications shown in the Menu in different categories, in alphabetical order. Here too the scheme is as below;

prog “app-name-to-be-displayed” path-to-app-icon app-executable

Add this line under appropriate section.

prog “Application-name” application.png application

Save and close. Re-logon. Now your application will be in the Menu, under the section you added it.

Menu updating – system

Now after installation of applications from the Synaptic or manually from outside the repositories, (installing with gdebi, for example) if any of the apps are not shown in the Menu, do the following. However, before that, it is recommended using the “Refresh Menu” (It’s on the Menu list) or the command “desktop-menu –write-out-global”. If these steps do not work for you, do the following.

This is another way to update the Menu using the Control-center;

Menu > Control-center > Maintenance > Menu editor

In the box that opens;

Applications > Show > A list is opened > Choose the App that you want displayed in the Menu > OK > Refresh > OK > Close control center

USER SETTINGS

Desktop Background/Wallpaper

If you want to change the wallpaper on the desktop i.e. background, open ‘Rox filer as root’ from the Menu > Application > System. Go to /usr/share/wallpaper. There paste any wallpaper you want and close it. Then to choose that as your desktop background do the following.

Menu > Control-center > Desktop > Choose wallpaper > In the box that opens > Select picture > Select your picture and open > Apply

Screen blanking

There is the screen blanking setting in antiX. The screen will go blank after your set number of minutes. Do as below to set it.

Menu > Control-center > Session > Set screen blanking > Slide to, say 10 minutes, and click Apply > OK > close the Control-center.

Ad blocking

If you want to block ads do the following.

Menu > Control-center > Network > Adblock > In the box that opens, click OK > In the box that opens, select some/all the options and click OK.

Sound problems

If there is no sound do the following.

Menu > Control-center > Hardware > Adjust mixer > In the box that opens, set as below;

An “MM” means muted, and “OO” means unmuted. Press ‘m’ key on the keyboard to mute/unmute. Note that a bar can be 100% full but still be muted, so do check for this.

See that the AlsaMixer box that has opened has the following settings.

Master – 00 & 100
Headphone – As much as you want.
Speaker – As much as you want.
Mic – MM & 00
Mic booster – 00
Mic booster – 00
S/PDIF – MM
Capture – 40<>40
Auto-Mut – Enabled
Internal – MM & O<>O
Internal – O<>O
Internal – O<>O
Loopback – Disabled
Pre-amp – 11<>11
Pre-amp – 11<>11

Exit from alsamixer with the Esc key.

User Accounts

To create a daily-use user-account do the following;

Menu > Control-center > Maintenance > User manager > In the box that opens go to;

Administration > Add any username and password.

Then go to Copy/sync tab. A file navigator box opens. Close it. In the section under Copy between desktops, your Administrator name and the newly created name is displayed. If you want to just copy whatever changes you have just done on the new system to the new user account select copy. If you want to keep synchronizing any changes you will make in the future too, select sync. Under ‘What to copy/sync’, select ‘Entire home’ to take every change made to the new user account. Apply and close. In the same window you can select/deselect groups, in the Groups management tab. Groups give or take privileges to users.

Restart. Your system is ready. This will get almost all the home users going. Best wishes with your new antiX system.

A WORD ON DESKTOPS

To keep the OS light, the antiX creates have adopted the strategy of giving the users a ‘File Manager-Window Manager’ combination and a range of varieties also to suit the different liking of the users. You get several different such File managers and Window managers like; ROX filer, SpaceFM, file managers and IceWM, JWM, Fluxbox etc and their different combinations with just a click of the mouse. Menu > Desktop > Other desktops will take you to more than 20 options to choose from, to fit your inclinations. Or you can press F6 during boot to choose your desktop. The default File Manager-Window Manager is ROX-IceWM. The SpaceFM file manager is available by default in Menu > Applications > System.

A WORD ON FRUGAL INSTALL

Frugal install is an interesting option. It is the same like the Live USB but it is on your Hard Disk. It is secure than the regular install, because any changes made are not retained. If you restart the system, everything fresh as before. It is an interesting instance, worth trying.

You can find details of Frugal install in the antiX FAQ page and in the following threads.

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/the-philosophy-behind-my-attachment-with-antix-or-floss/

And in the posts of Olsztyn in the thread below;

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/how-to-create-isolated-underprevileged-but-standard-user-accounts/

Changing to EXTLINUX/SYSLINUX as the bootloader for the frugal install is a very good setup. You can find the details of it in the below thread;

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/booting-antix-frugal-only-from-hdd-without-any-full-installed-os-with-extlinux/

Take a look at these threads. They give a glimpse to the very interesting variation of antiX setup.

Thanks & Regards

Typing this from another computer, not the Ryzen 5 3400G that will not boot:

I found this for Raspberry pi, but it should also work on PC:
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/tethering/72767/5

Here, it works with my Pi 3B as expected. I configured it via SSH access and user osmc, password osmc:
How my /etc/connman.conf looks like:

osmc@osmc-pi3:~$ cat /etc/connman.conf
[General] 
PreferredTechnologies=ethernet,wifi
SingleConnectedTechnology=false
AllowHostnameUpdates=false
TetheringTechnologies=ethernet,wifi
PersistentTetheringMode=true
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,docker,veth

Content of /var/lib/connman, only one ethernet (cable) service known and active

osmc@osmc-pi3:~$ ls /var/lib/connman
ethernet_b827ebc87f99_cable  settings

What is in /var/lib/connman/settings?

osmc@osmc-pi3:~$ sudo cat /var/lib/connman/settings
[global]
OfflineMode=false

[WiFi]
Enable=false
Tethering=false

[Wired]
Enable=true
Tethering=false

[Bluetooth]
Enable=false
Tethering=false

[P2P]
Enable=false
Tethering=false

Enter connmanctl:

osmc@osmc-pi3:~$ sudo connmanctl
connmanctl>

Enable WiFi:

connmanctl> enable wifi
Enabled WiFi

Start tethering, here with SSID NeuLummerland and password MichaelEnde

connmanctl> tether wifi on NeuLummerland MichaelEnde
Wifi SSID set
Wifi passphrase set
Enabled tethering for WiFi
connmanctl> exit

Check ip addresses and network devices, look at eth0, wlan0 and tether, just an (my) example:

osmc@osmc-pi3:~$ ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b8:27:eb:c8:7f:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.178.46/24 brd 192.168.178.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master tether state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b8:27:eb:9d:2a:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::ba27:ebff:fe9d:2acc/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
4: tether: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b8:27:eb:9d:2a:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global tether
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::1428:c0ff:fed1:e308/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Is routing ok?

osmc@osmc-pi3:~$ ip route show
default via 192.168.178.1 dev eth0
192.168.0.0/24 dev tether proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
192.168.178.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.178.46
192.168.178.1 dev eth0 scope link

That’s it.
Haven’t tried the GUI method but as far as I know there are no more issues with that.

Googling much returns procedures for accomplishing such goal using Networkmanager, but nothing seem to pop up as procedures using Connman.

Don’t be afraid of NetworkManager. Just because it is not the default in antiX doesn’t mean you cannot use it or it doesn’t work. On my fluxbox-KDE antiX live system I use networkmanager for consistency (and to avoid problems of having 2 Network Managers “fighting” every time I switch session). I have disabled “password encryption” or whatever name it has, and it runs as well and fast as connman. If you ever want to try it, download/install the necessary packages before uninstalling connman, fix resolv.conf if needed, and use it.

Let us know whatever you try. I am sure more people will be interested in using your solution.

– If two WiFi cards are present, can a WiFi repeater be feasible to set up so WiFi signal can reach more remote areas of the house

I never got this to work on any computer, be it with windows or otherwise. I gave up and installed OpenWRT on an old router and I have it set as a repeater. This way I can place it anywhere I want.
Don’t ask me how I did this, because it has been over 5 years since I set it up. I don’t remember how I did it, and I cannot even get to the website I bookmarked (no longer exists). So many bookmarks that are forever lost…

[Moderator caprea]

Maybe you take a look at the appimage .
Just download it and make it executable.
https://www.fosshub.com/Avidemux.html

Otherwise you have to enable the multimedia-deb sources in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
for the download probably.
But don’t forget to disable it after the download.If not it will most likely break something sooner or later.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problems

[Moderator Brian Masinick]

I usually use a Web browser’s download capability most of the time, but if I want additional features, I usually use wget too.
Filezilla is a Web-like client that can also be used to login to a site and use FTP-based services or other services to transfer information in either direction (to or from another system).

If you are using other protocols and communicating with other UNIX or Linux systems, ssh or scp are some other possibilities.

Hi,

I have an antix 19 installation running rox-icewm. It’s a default configuration that I’m configuring for my needs remotely through SSH. Unfortunately I don’t have any remote desktop/vnc access.

I need to remove the Files and Help icons from the desktop. I tried removing the .desktop entires from ~/Desktop but this didn’t change anything, the icons are still there.

How can I manually, without any desktop access, remove these icons?
Been searching a lot on the internet and found no informations where rox keeps it’s desktop entries.

Ok – you are right – I have sent a bugfix deb of init and init-system-helpers to antiX sid nosystemd and testing nosystemd repos
Thanks.

If anyone wants to run antiX-19 base or full with sid/unstable (and probably testing as well) repos (there are already core and net sid isos available), make sure you do the following.

1, sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

before changing repos.

2. Only use antix and debian repos and only use sid/unstable – do not mix with buster, buster-backports, testing.

Then

sudo apt update

3. Before dist-upgrading, make sure you purge fbsplash-antix otherwise the upgrade will fail.
This will also remove screenlight-antix and console-grid-gui

sudo apt purge fbsplash-antix

4. You will need to manually upgrade sshfs. This will replace fuse with fuse3

sudo apt install sshfs

5. sudo apt dist-upgrade

Note: Some python2 apps will be removed eg apt-notifier

6. Don’t forget to reinstall fbsplash-antix and the removed apps from step 3.

sudo apt install fbsplash-antix screenlight-antix console-grid-gui

7. To remove multiple entries in menu under Desktop

sudo apt install --reinstall desktop-session-antix

8. Cleanup

sudo apt autoremove

Sorry for any errors in the commands. I was writing them down, I had not copied them, so probably some typos are present. I will install it on a Virtual machine and check step by step, as most was explained from memory.

You are right. I just wrote it down wrongly. It should be roxterm-gtk2.
sudo apt install roxterm-gtk2

AA BB wrote:

AA BB: this gave Error /etc/skel/.fluxbox/ NO SUCH FILE or DIR

That means that desktop-defaults-fluxbox-antix did not get installed
sudo apt install desktop-defaults-fluxbox-antix
Once it installs it adds an entry to /etc/skel/ You should see it if you do
ls -a /etc/skel/
One of the folders should be .fluxbox

On my last try I experienced the same. Probably missing politykit-1 or consolekit stuff. I am no expert with these kind of things. Maybe lightdm-gtk-greeter fixes this? No idea.

I will try the steps myself on a virtual machine and fix all typos.
Sorry for the inconveniences.

0. Move to tty1 and log in as your user.

1. Install RoxTerm and antiX’s custom fluxbox, spaceFM and rox “configurations”
sudo apt install roxterm desktop-defaults-rox-antix desktop-defaults-fluxbox-antix desktop-defaults-spacefm-antix

AA BB: This gave ERROR message: Pkg roxterm not available..however the following pkg replaces it ‘roxterm-common’
so I installed roxtrm-commonm… no error messages but openssh-client roxterm-gtk3 or -gtk2 were recommended

2. Make .fluxbox folder backup, copy antiX custom fluxbox, spacefm and roxterm configurations
cp -r ~/.fluxbox ~/.fluxbox-old

cp -r /etc/skel/.fluxbox/ ~/
*******************
AA BB: this gave Error /etc/skel/.fluxbox/ NO SUCH FILE or DIR
so I stopped here for fear subsequent cmds wont work or that I may screw up my current build
***********************

Attacked is a current log of all the steps I’ve done so far to create my custom build, along with my comments denoted as AA BB

Note: when I try to log out from the login-menu, all options including ‘logout’ are grayed out
…As my log indicates, I did not install lightdm-gdt-greeter …Should I have installed it ??
