In reply to: antiX-17_x64-full freezes on install
mark
You should go to a terminal and run
inxi -Fxz
Post the output of that here. Also, to be clearer, maybe list the steps you did as a list in order, as its hard to understand what you created and how you are trying to boot.
I can’t get to a terminal to run the command in antiX. In Ubuntu, that command is not recognized.
The steps I performed for a live install are…
1)Burned the iso to DVD.
2) inserted 256G thumb drive
3)Set bios to boot DVD 1st.
4)Turn off secure boot
5)save and exit bios
6)AntiX begins boot sequence
7) Selected Custom from antiX boot menu. (tried all the other options too).
8)select timezone
9)select US 105 keyboard
10)select default for other options.
11)AntiX goes through boot text screens (some error messages that go by too fast, I’ll record and post)
12) mouse appears on screen with all black background. Sometimes the mouse pointer is visible when it freezes, sometimes it disappears and freezes.Here is the inxi -Fxz output from Virtualbox…

X180A
Thanks, folks. I tried the low rent version of Palemoon and it makes a difference. I will try some of the other tweeks in a bit. For now, I’m going to do what I can for a better install on the MSI desktop.
I like azrielle’s suggestion about using the SSD card for root. The reason I disabled booting to SSD in BIOS when I installed was because no matter what I did the antiX installer would only let me install and boot on that drive. If I tried to install on the SATA it failed to boot. Trying to install on the SATA and putting the boot record on the SSD wouldn’t work. That’s why I disabled the SSD for install, installed on the SATA, then re-enabled the SSD and made it a swap. To make that work I had format the SSD with swap file system, and edit fstab by entering the SSD’s UID and listing it as a swap location.
Yesterday, I tried azrielle’s idea. During install, I used the partition tool and made the SSD drive the root partition and created /home and swap on the SATA. Then, when I proceeded with install it would not let me install to both disks. The installer only lets me install to one disk or the other. I tried all sorts of configurations but I can’t get around the installer’s inability to install to multiple disks.
So, I have an idea but I don/t know if it will work. I’m thinking of doing an install on the SSD. Then, disabling booting to the SSD and doing a second install to the SATA. That will leave me with two separate and complete installs, one on each disk and each with its own on-disk boot record. Then, I’m thinking, I can use the partitioning tool to delete the swap file on the SSD and expand the root partition to use all 4GB of that drive. Next, I would delete the root partition on the SATA and create /home and swap partitions on that drive. Finally, I could edit fstab to direct everything in the right place. At least in theory.
However, I am left with something to sort out. Doing the above will create two fstabs, one on each disk. Since I want to boot and have root on the SSD I will have to edit that fstab. To do so, I will have to boot to that drive and do the edit from there. But if I do that I cannot delete the swap partition nor can I resize the root partition on that drive. I’ll have to figure out some way to modify the fstab on the SSD while I am booted on and using antiX on the SATA.
Any ideas?

If I had a 4GB SSD and a 320GB mechanical HDD, I would setup the SSD as root and install AntiX onto it (which only requires 2.7GB to install), and setup the HDD as /home, /data, etc. Even OLD SSDs speed up boot times remarkably. That said, it is important to realize that ALL browsers cache web page data onto the HDD in preference to RAM…the proof is in the pudding–installing a cheap 120GB SSD onto an n270 powered netbook triples the number of tabs that can be opened in any given browser before the system slows down to a crawl. With respect to your first mentioned PC with only 1GB RAM, it really would be worth it to swap out the HDD for a SSD.

the 485 MB swap remained “in use” even after I closed GIMP. I don’t know if that’s normal
That behavior is governed by the parameter vm.vfs_cache_pressure value stated in /etc/sysctl.conf
and you can tweak it to better suit your usage. (websearch “linux swap sysctl.conf” will find various, often conflicting, tutorials advising what values are “best”.)enough to be usable. That is, until the browser opens.
Aye. Several forum topics here contain tips and suggestions regarding alternative web browsers.===========
PSA:
“javascript” (aka ECMAScript) is not Java.
Firefox web browser can only accommodate “Java” via a plugin (e.g. the “IcedTea” plugin).
FWIW, when setting up a new linux system, I immediately disable + uninstall “IcedTea” if it has been pre-installed.
Also FWIW ~~ none of the sites I’ve visited throughout the past decade have been “broken” due to the absence of Java plugin.I’m new to the forum. It’s great to find this ethereal repository of knowledge and experience.
I have two old XP machines and I decided to breath new life into them. AntiX is a great distro – easy to install, excellent at finding and configuring hardware, and runs on low resources.
Not Quite Successful:
- Dell Inspiron laptop built from the best parts of a model 1100 and a model 1150
- Intel Celeron 2.6 GHz, 128K Cache, 400 MHz FSB
- 1024 MB RAM – maximum for these models
- 100 GB 2.5″ SATA
I tried LUBUNTU and then MX with horrid results – Slooooooooooow. Installing 32-bit antiX was very easy. AntiX found and installed the built in WiFi card. Then, just for the sake of it, I inserted a Linksys PCMCIA WiFi card. I manually installed it using the network tools that came with the distro and it was easy to set up.
Performance on the old gal was far from snappy but okay enough to be usable. That is, until the browser opens. The CPU meter gets pegged at 100% and stays there for just about any internet browsing. Google drive was so slow it couldn’t be used. I think that might be because of some heavy java overhead. I wasn’t running out of RAM, the CPU was the bottleneck. It just couldn’t keep up.
Maybe doing a base install instead of a full install would help. But I think this hardware is just too old and slow. Perhaps I’ll turn it into a Win95 laptop and fill it with old DOS and Windows 16-bit games for the kids.
Successful:
- MSI Wind Box DE200 – a mini desktop
- Intel Atom 230 @ 1.6 GHz
- Single core
- 2048 MB RAM soldered and no more can be added
- 4 GB SSD drive built into motherboard
- 320 GB SATA
I tried MINT, then LUBUNTU, then MX but they were all too clunky to do anything with. I finally installed 32-bit antiX (full) and the machine runs fantastic. I disabled the SSD from the boot sequence in the BIOS. The install was painless, including the automatic detection of and installation of the built in Wi-Fi adapter, something MINT and LUBUNTU didn’t do. The browser is fantastic at killing ads and runs smooth even on this old box. I can watch YouTube videos and embedded videos on websites.
I decided to format the entire 4 GB SSD as a second swap partition. So, now I have two swap partitions mounting at boot-up, one on each of the drives. Nearly 6 GB of swap showing on the desktop meter. I know, I know, but I’m having fun! I installed GIMP and created a 1,280 MB, 300 dpi billboard size image just to see what would happen. RAM usage went up to ~1.6 GB and ~485 MB of hybrid swap was used. Then I tried the browser on a new site loaded with ads and videos and it loaded and displayed just as it had without GIMP running. I was surprised to see the 485 MB swap remained “in use” even after I closed GIMP. I don’t know if that’s normal or not but it doesn’t matter. I really had to do something silly to get it put the swap into use in the first place.
I thought about installing the 64-bit version of antiX but without a dual core CPU and only 2 GB of RAM would it have made a difference?
I’m looking forward to putting antiX on a modern, high powered platform. I bet it would fly!

The “Mount Connected Devices” button has disappeared from my Control Centre. This is on antiX-17, but I currently run other versions of antiX on other machines. Has it been removed from “Heather Heyer”? My USB drives automount, so I haven’t needed the “Mount” function in Control Centre. But I’d swear it used to be there. If it did, any clue to why it would disappear? [Machine is regularly updated. Stats below]

I got hold of some updated hardware (64bit i7) and did a fresh install of the newest antiX. Everything went well and installed normally, I then tried to boot up without the install usb drive, and it would’t boot to the hdd, Error was no boot drive found or disk error. I was able to use “Super Grub2 Disk” which did a search for the antiX boot partition then selected it and booted normally into antiX, and everything ran fine. Just can’t boot without the grub2 usb drive.
I have no idea where to start to try to solve this one. Any help is much appreciated.
JoeSuper GRUB2 Disk helps you to boot into most any Operating System (OS) even if you cannot boot into it by normal means.

Ok, I can make a tar file of it. I think I’ll post it in the conky mods thread since that probably makes more sense.
I’m putting a piece of tape on each battery and marking it with what percent of capacity that battery has. That way when I swap I’ll know what to expect.

It knows how big the battery is in mAh, but doesn’t know how much the battery will hold now when full or its current charge. I have tried 3 different batteries, and none show up correctly, even though all are good. I think reinstalling the OS will fix it, but that seems very harsh. The files showing “no such device” seem to be the problem. I have tried draining it all the way and rebooting, etc, but nothing seems to reset it. tlp recalibrate only works for Thinkpads, it looks, and this is an HP Pavilion dv9917cl. This did work fine initially.
Is there some way to reset the value when I swap in a different battery?
The battery is full, and although old, will hold the machine for over an hour. All the utilities like conky and xbattbar come up wrong with the similar wrong info as the acpi -bi
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0# acpi -bi
Battery 0: Unknown, 0%, rate information unavailable
Battery 0: design capacity 6000 mAh, last full capacity -60 mAh = -1%I have done lots of googling and found nothing that worked…
Any ideas on things to try?

I’ve been looking into conky more and more! The options seem limitless.
Below are all the changes Iv’e made to the existing ~/.conkyrc. (See Screenshot!).
–
Personally, I think it is much more usable now with more info. I cleaned up the code a bit too. Everything uses color2, and so the color can be changed with just the one code change.
–
I also changed in mine up above the TEXT line:# Update interval in seconds update_interval 2From one second.
At the bottom of this post is an addition you may want that gives the top (no pun intended) 5 processes for both cpu and memory. Could be useful to some.
–
–
Anyway, if you would like to try my version, make a back up first in case you decide it was a bad idea;) You may also want to install fortunes, and fortune-mod if you like the cookie at the bottom.
In a terminal:
cp ~/.conkyrc .conkyrc.bak
–
–
Then open up ~/.conkyrc with your favorite editor and change everything under “TEXT” with the below. –> Save.${color2}${alignc}${font DejaVu Sans:size=14}${offset -11}antiX${color2} | ${color2}${font DejaVu Sans:size=14}${time %I:%M} ${color2}${font DejaVu Sans:size=10}Uptime: $alignr $uptime $hr ${color2}${font DejaVu Sans:size=9}Repo: $alignr${execi 1000 cat /etc/debian_version} ${color}${font DejaVu Sans:size=9}Kernel: $alignr $kernel ${color2}${font DejaVu Sans:size=9}Total Processes: $color $processes ${color}Automount: ${alignr}${color2}${execi 60 grep -q "^automount=TRUE" $HOME/.desktop-session/automount.conf 2>/dev/null && echo "enabled" || echo "disabled"} ${color}Freq:${color2}${alignr}${freq} ${color}Cpu:${alignr}${color2}${cpu}${color}% ${cpubar 4} ${color}Ram:${alignr}$mem ${color2} /${color} $memmax ${membar 4} ${color}Swap:${alignr}$swap ${color2} /${color} $swapmax ${swapbar 4} Root: $alignr ${fs_used /} / ${fs_size /} ${fs_bar 4 /} Home: $alignr ${fs_used /home} / ${fs_size /home} ${fs_bar 4 /home} ${if_up eth1}${color}Eth0 Up: $alignr${color2} ${upspeed eth0} ${color}$alignr${upspeedgraph eth0 24,178 5599cc 5599cc} ${color}Eth0 Down: $alignr${color2} ${downspeed eth0} ${color2}$alignr${downspeedgraph eth0 24,178 5599cc 5599cc}${endif}${if_up eth1} ${color}eth1 up: $alignr${color2} ${upspeed eth1} ${color}$alignr${upspeedgraph eth1 30,170 5599cc 5599cc} ${color}eth1 down: $alignr${color2} ${downspeed eth1} ${color2}$alignr${downspeedgraph eth1 30,170 5599cc 5599cc}${endif}${if_up wlan0} ${color}Wlan0 Up: $alignr${color2} ${upspeed wlan0} ${color2}$alignr${upspeedgraph wlan0 24,178 5599cc 5599cc} ${color}Wlan0 Down: $alignr${color2} ${downspeed wlan0} ${color2}$alignr${downspeedgraph wlan0 24,178 5599cc 5599cc}${endif}${if_up wlan1} ${color}wlan1 up: $alignr${color2} ${upspeed wlan1} ${color2}$alignr${upspeedgraph wlan1 24,170 5599cc 5599cc} ${color}wlan1 down: $alignr${color2} ${downspeed wlan1} ${color2}$alignr${downspeedgraph wlan1 24,170 5599cc 5599cc}${endif} Battery Level: ${alignr}$battery_percent% ${battery_bar 4} $alignr${execi 3114 fortune -s | fold -s -w25} ${voffset 800}This is an addition if you like that will show top processes:

And that goes for all of these I post. Conky is fickle. Sometimes adjustments to the offsets don’t translate well.
I might try to get an easy weather report in there too. Maybe just temp and condition.

on all of my other Linux and Windows PCs, I am able to Share a folder or the Desktop easily with just a right click, Share, Automatic Read/Write. Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon makes this ridiculously simple.
but, I am setting up an Itronix GoBook circa 2005 and it is very short on resources and I need a Linux with a very small footprint… so I am using antiX
ConnectShares is very convoluted and I cannot figure out how to just make the desktop shared to the network.
I put up 100s of pictures a day, and I just use my Android cellphone’s ASUS File Manager app to copy pictures from the phone to any of the other PCs on my WiFi network. I just click on the PC that I want, then Desktop and then SEND.
No amount of me messing around with antiX has made this PC visible on the network.

In reply to: antiX is a great distro, thanx

I fried a Sony Vaio trying to do a BIOS update. I liked that computer. Learned a lesson. Now I just stay with what I got and see if I can make it work. Some things are a little beyond my current skill set, such as diagnosing motherboard problems and soldering in new caps. But I’m good at swapping in parts and running diagnostic software, etc. Linux, in some form, usually works to resurrect on old machine. But some of my really old rigs I can only get DOS or Windows 95/98 to work. Recently got OS/2 onto some 386/486/P-1 machines.
I have several good CRT monitors. Got most of them from when our shop switched out to new LCD screens. Much better use of desk space! But I like the view on the CRT’s and I use them in my lab all the time.
