In reply to: 4.13.4 kernel

Ha,after following another thread here, I tried again some boot parameters.And the solution was so simple.The “vga=791” had to be deleted.
Here it is, my old laptop with the 4.13-kernel.helga@antix1:~ $ inxi -Fxz System: Host: antix1 Kernel: 4.13.4-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 gcc: 6.3.0 Desktop: IceWM 1.4.2 Distro: antiX-17_x64-full Heather Heyer 24 October 2017 Machine: Device: laptop System: LENOVO product: 1952V8N v: ThinkPad T60 serial: N/A Mobo: LENOVO model: 1952V8N serial: N/A BIOS: LENOVO v: 79ETE7WW (2.27 ) date: 03/21/2011 Battery BAT0: charge: 47.7 Wh 97.7% condition: 48.8/56.2 Wh (87%) model: Panasonic 42T4622 status: N/A BAT1: charge: 21.3 Wh 99.5% condition: 21.4/31.3 Wh (68%) model: SONY 45N1041 status: N/A CPU: Dual core Intel Core2 T7400 (-MCP-) arch: Conroe rev.6 cache: 4096 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 vmx) bmips: 8645 clock speeds: max: 2167 MHz 1: 2161 MHz 2: 2161 MHz Graphics: Card: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0 Display Server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: intel Resolution: 1400x1050@60.02hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 945GM version: 2.1 Mesa 13.0.6 Direct Render: Yes Audio: Card Intel NM10/ICH7 Family High Def.

Hi everybody again, here’s what I’m facing.
I made a USB-live (Sandisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 32GB) whit antiX-17 and on my old laptop (Hp Compaq 6720s) works a charme, but on the laptop I’ve made it for (HP Elitebook 2760p -162A) the boot time goes beyond 7/8 minutes to load. Sure it depends on the Elitebook, but I lack so much in understanding the real cause of this. Is it possible for someone to give me a step-by-step workaround to identify (and solve) the problem?
Here’s the Inxi output:System: Host: antix1 Kernel: 4.10.5-antix.3-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 gcc: 6.3.0 Desktop: IceWM 1.4.2 Distro: antiX-17_x64-full Heather Heyer 24 October 2017 Machine: Device: laptop System: Hewlett-Packard product: HP EliteBook 2760p v: A0005E02 serial: N/A Mobo: Hewlett-Packard model: 162A v: KBC Version 05.33 serial: N/A BIOS: Hewlett-Packard v: 68SOU Ver.

Perfect howto description, caprea.
I would mention that instead of renaming the entire file, can disable / enable individual site-specific stanzas by editing the mentioned domain name.
By changing the line mentioning (antixforum.com) to (zzzantixforum.com) the rules within the stanza will no longer be applied.
This allows having more than one theme onhand for a given site (a “daytime” and a “nighttime”?) easily swapping between them.Instead of fiddling with theming, can use one of several browser extensions available to alter a site’s colors (one site, or all sites).
PageShadow, Firefox Invert Colors…

Tried the 4.13.4-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64 on my desktop-PC and every thing went very well. There are no broadcom, ndiswrapper or virtualbox dkms drivers on this system so there weren’t even errors.It built fine against my installed proprietary nvidia driver. dmesg lookes good.
But, after this nice experience I yesterday tried to install the kernel on my Lenovo T60.
Can confirm the dkms errors.$ inxi -zF System: Host: antix1 Kernel: 4.10.5-antix.3-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: IceWM 1.4.2 Distro: antiX-17_x64-full Heather Heyer 24 October 2017 Machine: Device: laptop System: LENOVO product: 1952V8N v: ThinkPad T60 serial: N/A Mobo: LENOVO model: 1952V8N serial: N/A BIOS: LENOVO v: 79ETE7WW (2.27 ) date: 03/21/2011 Battery BAT0: charge: 48.3 Wh 98.5% condition: 49.0/56.2 Wh (87%) CPU: Dual core Intel Core2 T7400 (-MCP-) cache: 4096 KB clock speeds: max: 2167 MHz 1: 1000 MHz 2: 1333 MHz Graphics: Card: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller Display Server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: intel Resolution: 1400x1050@60.02hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 945GM version: 2.1 Mesa 13.0.6 Audio: Card Intel NM10/ICH7 Family High Def.

2. Another problem is sound. As in none.These ran UEFI W 8.1….actually not bad for school kids. Two batteries, one for the keyboard section and one for the tablet. Works pretty slick with MX-16 or antiX in VM.
it’s 32-bit, however a friend booted to MX-16 64-bit legacy. (with keyboard function) There is no choice for legacy per se in the bios.
Control Center PCInfo says it’s 32 bit os and 64 bit cpu.

I am back to my antix 17 final install. I did the MX-17 beta1 test, and now am back on antix testing for long term stability.
One problem (minor) is when I reboot into antix 17, my wall paler is missing, “failed to open /path to /wallpaper image/spectrum.jpg”.
This will be easy for the experts here !The image is on my data drive. I have set up the little files icon on the desktop to link to my data drive and a bunch of directories (music, pictures, documents etc). ANd these do not work after a reboot. The link to sda (the 1TB data drive), but not the directories short cuts I have created with links.
So to fix, delete one of the shortcuts (say documents), and open another files icon from the desktop, open the data drive, and drag a documents folder onto the files window now open. It asks if I want relative or absolute links. I pick absolute, (relative gives the same behaviour). Then that shortcut link works opening up the documents directory on the data drive. And surprisingly, now all the other linked folders work now also ! Then I can use the control center to reselect my existing wall paler.
I am good until I have a reboot.
So, I think somehow the data drive or links are not being remounted correctly. How can I check this and make the data links permanent and the wall paper come up automatically?
Having the linked subdirectories to all my data in that Files icon makes for a very clean and useful desktop.

Ninho:…it would seem disadvantageous, having already a small total of RAM,

Re-read the original linked post Tips for Improving Performance on Ancient Kit
its basic thrust is about ways to optimise performance on ancient kit. Often such kit has a low spec. Trying to use that kit in the same way you might use modern high spec kit is a fruitless exercise. So if you intend to use zram to achieve that be prepared for a disappointment. The post covers a range of ideas, any one of which may not produce a big gain. The right combination of them (which might include the use of zram) is much more likely to produce worthwhile results. One of the ways to obtain the most noticeable improvements is to choose appropriate apps and use them in a sensible way. If you want to use any form of swap space to compensate for a lack of physical RAM in old kit in order to employ demanding modern apps you are again likely to be disappointed. You will get much more performance from your old system by slightly modifying the way you perform your daily tasks and using other lightweight apps to do them. By giving up a small amount of convenience it is possible to obtain large gains.On old resource limited kit, trying to view zram in isolation is not helpful. It is more beneficial to look at it in the context of your overall system which in essence means the capability of your hardware, the apps you intend to use, and the way you use them.
I’m not advocating in favour or against the use of zram. It is your system and in the end you will make your own choice. When building a system I use guidelines and a form of flowchart for swap space that I prepared some years back. I never published them because swap space is one of those contentious areas where people tend to aggressively defend their own preferences. All I will say is they have served me well and whenever I use zram (often in conjunction with a disk based swap space) I am happy with the outcome.
29 Nov 2016, 14:43
Ninho:Still not convinced there could be any circumstances to make such an arrangement beneficial…
That’s OK, as I said previously I’m not trying to convince you or anyone else, though your comment has a tang of having done little before making such an observation.
A few thoughts off-the-top-of-my-head
- It seems unlikely that zram would be merged into the Linux kernel if there was no benefit to it
- Running in RAM is inherently faster than running from disk; that includes swap
- Using antiX in live nomadic mode on modern highly spec’d kit that you do not administrate and thereby cannot be certain a disk based swap area is available or accessible
- Potentially extending the life of a USB stick running antiX in live mode when a swap space is wanted on the stick
Some quotes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram
wikipedia:
zram was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 3.14…
[…]
Since using zram is an alternative way to provide swapping on RAM, zram allows Linux to make a better use of RAM when swapping/paging is required, especially on older computers with less RAM installed.
[…]
Google uses zram in Chrome OS since 2013[7] and in Android since its version 4.4.[8] Lubuntu also started using zram in its version 13.10.[9] As of December 2012,[needs update?] Ubuntu has considered enabling zram by default on computers with small amounts of installed RAMThis is rescued from the defunct antiX forum for the benefit of new users who cannot access that old forum and others who might not have seen the original topic. That post was written to help a user who wanted to run antiX on an ancient system that had very limited hardware.
Original post dated Wed May 11, 2016
Author SamKWith antique kit it is still possible to get a usable and useful system. There are usually two main limiting factors, the capability of the system and the way in which it is used. If you keep these in mind it is surprising what can be achieved.
The following is a non exhaustive list of ways to optimise performance. They are general things to consider and the balance between them will probably differ machine to machine.
Things to think about at a system level
- Run antiX installed in the conventional way to hard disk. It makes better use of physical RAM than running live from CD or USB. On old kit with slow USB ports disk read/write is often faster than USB read/write
- Check the BIOS to see if it is possible to adjust the amount of RAM shared with the video card/chip. Setting this to the lowest value you prefer can often free up more RAM for your system to use for other tasks
- Use one or more swap areas. Combining a disk based swap with a zram one can produce a worthwhile increase in performance. Additionally, adjusting the way in swap space is used can make a difference to the system responsiveness. This post might be a starting point: ZRAM Swap Activation
- Switch off all services you will not use e.g. CUPS if printing is not required. Think also about disabling WICD services and configure networking via Ceni. Bluetooth might not be needed etc… These will release memory for other tasks. They are just ways of making best use of limited system resources
- Try an older antiX kernel, they can be better suited to older kit. The 3.7.10-antix kernel works well on older systems
Things to think about at a user level
- Use a lightweight desktop. Any of those shipped with antiX are excellent in their use of resources
- Use lightweight apps. Most of the apps shipped with antiX are fine, but some may place a heavy load on the system and quickly degrade performance. If you think about it, partnering a lightweight OS with heavyweight apps on old kit, is an obvious mismatch that will lead to disappointment. An inappropriate choice of web browser can be major culprit in exceeding the capability of your kit
- Make best use of the available system resources by closing apps you have finished using
- Consider slightly modifying the way you perform you daily tasks. This can have a big impact on the performance of your system. Try to avoid using the kit in the way you would use more modern powerful kit. For example loading up a heavyweight web browser to watch a Youtube video is not the only way to view it. Small changes in operator habits can pay big dividends
- Monitor the way in which your system uses its resources. Conky can be useful, but note it takes a small amount of RAM and is usually covered by other windows so is not easily seen. Try the CPU and network monitors in the taskbar of IceWM as alternatives that are always on view.
Be realistic in your expectations. antiX partnered with lightweight apps, combined with sensible use, can produce worthwhile results. It will never produce performance to equal a new modern powerful system, but you might be surprised at what can achieved. Incidentally a lot of enjoyment can be gained along the way.
Just to give a tiny bit of perspective, here the following laptop is in daily use for non demanding uses. Because of its age, it is also regularly rebuilt as a test bench to provide a reference point of what antiX can do. It was manufactured in approx 1997,
- 384MB RAM
- single Celeron CPU 1295Mhz
- 2 swap areas (swapfile + zram) totalling 727MB
- kernel 3.7.10-antiX.8-486-smp
By todays standards this antique kit has a very low spec. It is still capable of displaying a Youtube video with the window opened to fit the screen width. It plays completely smoothly without any form of juddering or jerkiness and sound and vision are in sync. All with approx 50% CPU load. Not too shabby for an antique. It was done with this video from dolphin_oracle, and shown in Streamlight which ships with antiX.

Quote masinick
@SamK: Great suggestions for getting good mileage out of older systems. I had a pretty old desktop system, a Dell Dimension 4100 that served me really well from 2001-2009.
…
The systems I have now range from 2007 to current vintage, so I don’t have as many needs to reduce system usage, but on the old Dell I used to use over half of the techniques that you suggest. What I can tell you and others is that antiX has worked really well across a broad range of systems and releases. By default you give up a small amount of conveniences compared to the big, fancy, resource grabbing systems and their powerful, good looking applications, but you seldom give up the ability to do a thing, even with the standard tools and applications – and if you are missing something, you can simply install it, and that’s the real value of the antiX infrastructure – it’s light by default, but very flexible and extensible, just the way that I like it!Topic: ZRAM Swap Activation

Things to explore…
If the amount of swap space created by zram is not large enough for your needs you might partner zram swap with a conventional swap file. You have the choice of starting them manually and individually after boot-up, or automatically during boot-up (zram via /etc/init.d/zram and swap file via /etc/rc.local).
If you use zram and a swap file in partnership, you might want to manage the order in which they are used. A swap space in RAM is faster than a swap file in conventional storage. Consider whether there is any benefit to your local system in assigning the zram swap space a higher priority than the swap file. zram space is usually created with a priority of 100. Assign a lower priority to the swap file (e.g. 90) when activating via the swapon command.
The way in which your system handles any and all swap spaces can be tuned with plenty of scope for experimentaion. The following are entries that I have used for some years as starting points in /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf. They are then adjusted to suit the characteristics of the particular system.
# Uncomment the following two values to improve percieved system performance # Threshold at which swapping starts # Values lower than default favour filling physical RAM before begining to use a swap area # Default vm.swappiness=60 vm.swappiness=10 # # Threshold at which the directory and inode caches are reclaimed # Values lower than default favour retaining them rather than recovering the memory they occupy # Default vm.vfs_cache_pressure=100 vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50A related matter…
I know you are moving to newer kit than previously. I mention the following just in case you try zram on older kit.
The basic action of zram is to create a swap space per CPU in the local system (zram0, zram1…). In a modern system with multiple CPUs the shipped zram script does this OK. In an older single CPU system the shipped zram script calculates the number incorrectly and therefore creates an incorrect number of swap spaces. It still works but just with the wrong number of swap spaces.
Because antiX is aimed at both modern and older kit I found the shipped zram script disappointing and unsatisfactory. Eventually I decided to do something about it and rewrote my own version of the zram script which works correctly with both single and multiple CPU systems.

WICD still thinks I am on a wired connection though. Maybe a apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y might fix this. I don’t know. I have AntiX 16.2 installed on this laptop internal hard drive. My goal is first pulling out my hard drive out of my IBM T23 with AntiX 16.2 running on it. Insert another. See what happens like I did here.
To anybody saying AntiX 17 won’t run on old gear. Look at my machine specs in inxi. 2002 is pretty old. Booting off floppy, then usb is pretty old. Not sure how old one needs to be to be called old. 🙂
PS. The IBM T23 is a P3. This one old is very very very very old P4. The fan is chugging. As soon as I typed that out. It figures. The fan shut down.
Edit: Click on the screenshot to see the wicd icon in the taskbar, thinking I am on ethernet cable. If I install on this laptop. I will not be using wicd. Just ceni.

OK. I just made a live usb for my IBM T23 later on. The reason I show 2 wicd icons in my tray on this live run I am doing now. I had used enable wicd in the usb f key options to turn wicd on. To connect my router. I had to go to control center and open wicd to type in my router password and then connect. Right clicking on one icon on the taskbar and picking quit fixes that.
Of course. I downloaded the read me text file which has all of the md5sum entries for antix 17 in it. I ran md5sum in terminal on this laptop I have the iso on before using the antix to usb in my control center . Ha ha. Just noticed my firefox spell checker only has english great britain spell checker. I run AntiX 15 fully updated on this monster IBM T430 . AntiX has sure changed I see.

I moved slit to the top and set width at 70. My ~/.fluxbox/startup file is set up like this (if you do not have redshift or whatever installed or running. Just comment "#" that line out)# fluxbox startup-script:

I plan on blowing this away (eventually, still updated and current), because I need to reinstall AntiX on this netbook because it is beta testing and I procrastinated updating to current AntiX 15 on this unit like I already did on my other netbook with the same specs.$ inxi -Fxz

`The tint2rc is pretty self explanatory. I am no expert but eugene-b requested how I did this.
So here it is. Disregard the zram swap stuff. I played around alot with the setup on this netbook while testing beta.
So any seen mistakes. OH Well. I don’t care. I have not really been that anal when it comes to computers.Happy trailz, Rok

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemswean_irdeh
The official antiX installer doesn’t support LVM yet, but no problem! This article got you covered on install antiX on LVM!
But sorry, since this is not official method, I won’t be responsible for any damage you have caused
assumption: a. you already know how to partition, b. you are using antiX 17 full version1. install LVM
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lvm22. partition your LVM using gparted
gparted can be found from menu on right click -> system tools
don’t forget to add LVM flags after creating the partition
At least 6GB for partition size is recommended3. create physical volume
sudo pvcreate /dev/sdXY
where X is letter of your disk and Y is number of your partition
example: /dev/sda14. create volume group
sudo vgcreate vg0 /dev/sdXY5. create logical volume, for root partition and swap
sudo lvcreate -n /dev/mapper/vg0-antix.rootfs -L 5G vg0
sudo lvcreate -n /dev/mapper/vg0-swap -L 1G vg06. activate the new logical volume
vgchange -ay7. format the new logical volume and activate swap
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg0-antix.rootfs
sudo mkswap /dev/mapper/vg0-swap8. mount the partition for installation
mkdir /mnt/antiX
sudo mount /dev/mapper/vg0-antix.rootfs /mnt/antiX9. create some directories
sudo mkdir /mnt/antiX/opt -m 0755
sudo mkdir /mnt/antiX/dev -m 0755
sudo mkdir /mnt/antiX/proc -m 0755
sudo mkdir /mnt/antiX/sys -m 0755
sudo mkdir /mnt/antiX/run -m 075510. copy files
sudo /bin/cp -a /live/aufs/bin /live/aufs/boot /live/aufs/dev /live/aufs/etc /live/aufs/lib /live/aufs/lib64 /live/aufs/media /live/aufs/mnt /live/aufs/opt /live/aufs/root /live/aufs/sbin /live/aufs/selinux /live/aufs/usr /live/aufs/var /live/aufs/home /mnt/antiX11. mount for chroot
sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/antiX/dev
sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/antiX/sys
sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/antiX/proc12. for UEFI installation: mount EFI system partition
mkdir /mnt/antiX/boot/efi
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdXY /mnt/antiX/boot/efiwhere X: letter of your disk, and Y: number of your EFI system partition
you can check gparted to see your EFI system partition, usually it’s /dev/sda113. chroot into your new installation
sudo chroot /mnt/antiX14. install grub
grub-mkdevicemapon BIOS system:
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --no-floppy --force --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdX
where X: letter of your diskon UEFI system
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=antiX16 --recheck15. update grub so configfile will be generated
update-grub16. Voila! installation finished, now reboot your system to start using antiX from LVM!!
thanks skidoo for your help on LVM and thanks anticapitalista for the source code of gui installer found on github
Forum for users of antiX Linux. Mean and Lean and Proudly anti-fascist.
