The good news is that this has helped us find a serious bug in the cli-installer ie installing to a separate existing /home fails.
I remember reading last year, where someone was having a problem with a seperate /home directory and another person made the comment that you have found a bug, that was in Antix 16. So it looks like it was never fixed.
Edit:
I have just installed the core.iso and my /home directory was,relative found ok, that is without making any alterations to /etc/fstab. It shows /dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults,relatime 0 2. But nano is showing, with a red background, [ Mistake in ‘/home/oldman/.nanorc’ ].
I chose to be logged in automatically, but did not come to the gui, also when I typed startx, I get -bash: startx: command not found.- This reply was modified 5 years ago by oldman.

Well, I just installed (in Virtualbox) the latest sid-based net.iso without a separate /home partition, (is that what you are using?), then
login as user, and get the latest packages.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgradesudo apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg-legacy fluxboxand after editing the file mentioned above
startxgets to to a very minimal fluxbox ‘desktop’

That did not work!
This line was already in the file: allowed_users=console
I just had to add this line: needs_root_rights=yesstartx (without sudo, but after following your advice) gives this:
xauth: timedout in locking authority file /home/oldman/.Xauthority
When I opened .Xauthority in nano, it was empty.

Have a read of this post and the links.

You should not need to startx with sudo. Install xserver-xorg-legacy and make the edit mentioned in the link to Xwrapper.config

Thanks.
Tried to install lightdm, but failed due to unavailable missing dependancies.
I have installed fluxbox, but sudo startfluxbox gives the following error message:xmodmap: unable to open display ”
Error: Couldn’t connect to XServer passing null displaysudo startx gives the following errror message:
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server errorI do not know how to setup the x server, but I ran some command that was supposed to have done that, which created the xorg.conf.new file in my home directory.
Can anyone help me, thanks.

I have installed the latest Antix 7 using the net.iso.
I wanted a gui, so I first installed xfce, hoping that it would install the xwindow system as a dependancy. That did not happen, so I next installed Xorg, but I cannot start xwindows (sudo startx). I have looked at the config file in my home user directory and it does not look as though it is any good; just looks like a skeleton conf file. So how do I get a working gui?

Something interesting, after a hibernate and resume, it gains back memory because wpa_suplicant doesn’t try to run for the hard wired ethernet when its not connected.
Something I learned today…. To copy from selected text in a terminal to the clipboard buffer so you can paste to a GUI program like Palemoon or Geany select the text and run…
xclip -o | xclip -i -selection clipboard
Of course if you had a Keyboard shortcut to do that, they you could just select and hit the key, then be able to paste here…One I learned the other day is using Awk to get column 2 and from column 6 to the end of a line (ie if the last stuff on the line is text with spaces so you don’t know how many columns there are, like with the list of packages and descriptions (in a file called pkglist) and write it to a new file called pkglist.txt. So, I’m taking all the other columns before 6 and making them empty, then printing the whole line, which is now 2 and 6+
awk '{$1=$3=$4=$5=""; print $0}' pkglist >pkglist.txtAnother thing I learned is that I can take the package list straight from dpkg -l to do this instead of writing a pkglist file if I don’t really need that
dpkg -l | awk '{$1=$3=$4=$5=""; print $0}' >pkglist.txtSo I don’t know if all this is useful for anyone else, but if someone happens to search for how to copy selected text from the selection buffer in terminal to paste into browser or editor via the clipboard buffer via command line, they might find this post, and make life a little better.
If I had to use this frankenstein, I’d need my conky, screensaver and games I suppose, and my hibernate mod, and it would be a lot better to me than stock Debian, but I don’t think its “better” than stock AntiX Base or Full, heck it *IS* AntiX Core + toys, so it is what it is…

Thanks for the reply. I also installed firmware-iwlwifi and firmware-atheros, but wlan interface is still not shown on ceni.

During last weeks, I have been trying to build an icewm system from core 17.1 (see here), or even from net 17.1 (see here). It’s going to be used on machines 15 years old, so I want it as lightweight as it could be.
Ceni is installed on the core, but not on the net version. On the net, I firstly connected via ethernet and installed ceni. After that, I
connected wirelesslystill can’t connect wirelessly.For both versions, the steps for getting X to run when not root were the same:
1) Install xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-legacy, xinit.
2) add to /etc/X11/Xrapper.config this line:needs_root_rights=yesThe line below was already there, so no need for me to add it myself:
allowed_users=consoleI also installed icewm and a terminal (rxvt-unicode), and then I ran “startx”.
Afterwards, I installed palemoon-nonsse2. I find it the best performing browser for these old machines and for the kind of use I do. I also think about installing dillo (for reading text-only pages) and one browser for use out of X (links2?).
My thoughts about menus should be a separate post. For the moment, I can say I removed all the tray icons, except sources monitors and the clock.
I haven’t decided yet about the apps I want to install. Maybe I’ll build a super minimal system for the one machine, using Midnight Commander as file manager and, generally, using terminal apps. On the other machines, I’ll maybe conclude rox-filer and/or spacefm and other “heavier” apps. But I think I’ll install iso-snapshot to all of them, so as to be able to create isos of the built systems.
I also haven’t decided if I should start from core or from net version. On the net, I had to install some packages for unlocking and mounting disk partitions. I also noticed there was not volume, and installing alsamixer (alsa-utils) haven’t fixed it. I suppose that the net version doesn’t contain drivers. Packages installed on my built-from-core system are about 200 more than those installed on my built-from-net one. I can’t say yet if I need the most of them or not.

In reply to: Build ICEwm system from core 17.1
I do want to see if I can get the menus to generate completely. Needs to be investigated. Might look at installing the AntiX menu system, but afraid that will cause other problems.
Need to figure out where to tell it to run startx in the boot sequence if at run level 5 after login. My guess is it needs to be in the user login script, but I don’t know how that works. I am just fine with a character based login.
I may end up with a memory-cheap “Debian style” respin of AntiX, lol
I finally did a build up from core, I used IceWM and roaming WiFi. I did it on the old Dell D620. I should be able to get memory used to about 65.0 mb. I’m at 71.0 mb now, but that’s using Xterm and 5 getty sessions, no Conky, no Background. I just wanted to see if I could get it to work…
I didn’t have major problems. The worst problem was getting X to run when not root, needing to add 2 lines to /etc/X11/Xrapper.config.
allowed_users=console needs_root_rights=yesI will see if I can get the history and a memory readout next time I bring up the browser. I suppose its not totally realistic with no conky or screensaver, but it was quite an adventure to get it loaded and get X windows to come up and work.

I use a program called comm to compare the antix install list to a current list, and what wasn’t there in core is listed here. My notes say I should (ie untested at this point) be able to process add list onto a core install with:
xargs -a pkgschgd.add.txt apt-get install`Too bad I haven’t been able to figure out how to port ksnakeduel to a non-kde environment. It really brought a lot in with it. But I like playing it, oh well.
Menus are working, but many programs aren’t on them. Haven’t investigated that, yet.
I don’t like the standard theme, wish I had my rollup shade windows, oh well.
Anyway, for one evening’s work I did fairly well…
Anyone know a way to take this list and remove from it all the packages required by any other on the list?
