what config file setting tells the system to start with the console/TUI

Open this file in an editor
/etc/inittab
and (at or about line 5 or 6) this is where the default runlevel is specified.

This wiki page provides additional details: https://debian-administration.org/article/212/An_introduction_to_run-levels

Thank you for that. I could not make that connection. I found the setting in /etc/inittab. What does “inittab” stand for? Many file names have some reason but I would never figure out inittab to change the runlevel.

And thanks for the link. I read lot of stuff on that site. Eventually led me to finally figuring out how to login remotely to antiX both with VNC and X, and SSH in text mode. Good stuff.

I’ve got a blank screen at boot. From an other thread in this forum I’ve learned to get out of it with Ctrl+Alt+1 and I could see this on the screen after trying to update as per said thread:

I’m using this installation only out of curiosity / learning purposes, so I can just reinstall, no big deal for me. Nevertheless, if anyone can easily identify the problem and let me know what to do it’d serve my learning purposes.

So the magic is:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
PermitRootLogin [without-password => yes]

Hello,
please help!

What magic to put in a conf file to allow root password login with SSH?

Still testing.
The following are my notes so far for the next version gksu changelog.

  * gksu.c: addresses possibility of arbitrary command injection via subshell
    ref: CVE-2014-2886
    Escape any backtick characters and any left parenthesis characters
    present within passed string. Guarding left parenthesis also thwarts
    potential injection of  bash_shellfunction_name (somesuch)
    
  * DISABLE the option "--print-pass", aka "-p" which would cause gksu to
     "print the password to stdout, just like ssh-askpass. Useful to use in
      scripts with programs that accept receiving the password on stdin."
    Regardless of any use case where this functionality would be necessary,
    too bad ~~ it also provided opportunity to trick the user into
    having a cleartext password divulged.

Holler if you can mention a “damned good reason” to NOT disable the option
−−print-pass

Ok, I fixed the bugs and retested, and added in your WinGrid keys, as well as a couple custom keys that I like. FYI, I REALLY dislike the tiling keys as they just made a total mess of the screen, and even the cascade and arrange did poorly compared to the simplicity of the Wingrid, and to me those other window rearragement keys were more of a RISK than potential benefit, but that’s just my opinion. I think they should be there but commented out,

Try them and let me know what you think?

Hello! 🙂

I got a little PC based on a 500Mhz AMD Geode and 256Mb of RAM, my idea is to use it as a FTP server to store songs and other multimedia stuff, for the storage, it got a 500Gb USB Hard Disk and for the boot/OS it has a 4Gb SD USB Card Adapter.

I installed antiX core on it and got ssh acess and vsftpd running perfectly, my problem is that to boot from the USB device, I had to set the BIOS to boot from the “USB Hard Disk”, but the BIOS can’t distinguish between the Hard Disk and the SD Adapter, so every time I shutdown/reboot the system and the boot fails, I had to manually unplug the HD USB cable in order to it boot properly.

I searched the internet but could not find a good way to make the HDD point to the SD Adapter, I tried to “grub-install” to the external HDD but this has no effect at all.

Does someone know a way to do this? It looks like the device it detects first will be the boot device and the first USB port is blocked by the ethernet cable (the big SD card just don’t fit into the space).

Thanks!

$PROGNAME version $PROGVERSION
Places the active window into a predetermined position and size on screen.

Usage: 
   $PROGNAME

Options:
   -h, --help     Show this output

Summary:
   The screen is notionally divided into 4 rectangles in a 2x2 grid.
   Each window may occupy any 1, any 2 adjacent, or all 4 rectangles.

   Launching is normally done using the keyboard via a combined key press.
   The combination of keys are assigned by the system window manager and can 
   be reassigned if desired.  

   Optional configuration items are available in
   /home/USERNAME/.config/wingrid/wingrid.conf

   Requires:
      awk, wmctrl, xdpyinfo, yad

Hi
So i’ve try Antix and it’s quite good, but as being from centos.. i found quite painfull to be able to just config a simple vnc server, to run headless. And to have it run / auto start , automatically when the pc is turn on. I know there’s no systemd… but i haven’t found any tutorial to help me out on : how can i have a vnc server run automatically ??

I can install x11 from the package and see the gui. But cannot do it run automatic. Is there another package that can be install and always start by itself… ? ssh-conduit is not best either.

thanks in advance

skidoo, Here is the IceWM keyboard shortcuts test results. I only brought up the WinGrid because it was suggested to use it last time I was having problems with the supposedly built in IceWM functions to arrange the windows which my testing showed to not work. Thanks for your time and suggestions. All of the non-working options are commented out in all the other distros I tested (most recent release of each).

I installed Absolute Linux, Debian 9, and OpenSuse Leap 15, Mageia, Slackopup, and Scientific Linux, all with IceWM setup to try to find an IceWM desktop with keyboard shortcuts that work similar to antiX, and few have many keys redefined, none have the window tiling or cascade or window/workspace options for the keys, so I can’t tell if they are is an IceWM issues or not, other than to say all of them also occur on my Dell D620 laptop as well as my HP DV9000 series laptop, with and without external keyboard.

Here are the results of testing all the keys mapped. I wonder if I need to be using a special keyboard somehow for my HP DV9000 series laptop (17″ with separate numeric keypad built in):

Sounds like the problem. I’ll try and see if that will fix it later today.

Thanks much

PS: Yes, that did fix it. I will try the keyboard shortcuts today.

What would be the best key to assign a default desktop Keyboard shortcuts help screen to? The long term goal would be to display the shortcut on the Conky screen and use that same shortcut for all desktops in all languages, and if there was a GUI editor for it, possibly allow it to be edited from there as well. I think that was what skidoo was thinking towards and sounds good to me.

PSS: The scrolling problem is there in Geany but not Firefox where if you click on the scroll bar to move one page up or down, you might go 10 pages instead, and since there are no arrow buttons with this theme (not sure that is caused by theme,IIRC, Metal2 with Crux adds the arrows, but Crux is a sick Purple, so I would need to hand modify the color), you can’t just click and hold those to scroll at a reasonable pace, leaving the only way to do it with a click and drag on the center bar (which isn’t easy with some track pads) or by using the keyboard. Again, I have made no changes here.

Maybe you want to move this thread to Development? We are way out of the realm of “Announcements” at this point. I will be fine if you move it.

# have been running when preload started and the list of running
# processes is not updated at all.
#
# default: true

# dopredict:
#
# Whether preload should make prediction and prefetch anything off
# the disk.  Quite like doscan, you normally want that, that's the
# other half of what preload is about, but you may want to temporarily
# turn it off, to only train the model for example.  Note that
# this allows you to turn scan/predict or or off on the fly, by
# modifying the config file and signalling the daemon.
#
# default: true
dopredict = true

# autosave:
#
# Preload will automatically save the state to disk every
# autosave period.  This is only relevant if doscan is set to true.
# Note that some janitory work on the model, like removing entries

# A list of path prefixes that controll which mapped file are to
# be considered by preload and which not.  The list items are
# separated by semicolons.  Matching will be stopped as soon as
# the first item is matched.  For each item, if item appears at
# the beginning of the path of the file, then a match occurs, and
# the file is accepted.  If on the other hand, the item has a
# exclamation mark as its first character, then the rest of the
# item is considered, and if a match happens, the file is rejected.
# For example a value of !/lib/modules;/ means that every file other
# than those in /lib/modules should be accepted.  In this case, the
# trailing item can be removed, since if no match occurs, the file is
# accepted.  It's advised to make sure /dev is rejected, since
# preload doesn't special-handle device files internally.
#
# Note that /lib matches all of /lib, /lib64, and even /libexec if
# there was one.  If one really meant /lib only, they should use
# /lib/ instead.

# maxprocs
#
# Maximum number of processes to use to do parallel readahead.  If
