I’m installing Antix22 on a Yoga 2 11 laptop running Windows 10, in dual boot.
The laptop is using UEFI with GPT partitions. Antix is installing on the root partition created, but even though the EFI positions are given, with swap and a BOOT-GRUB supplied as requested for the GPT partitions, the install process forces a legacy-boot flag on the root partition, gray’s out the ESP option, and I can only boot the HD system but booting the live system, reading the grub file and choosing the installed system from there.The live system was updated and upgraded, and the installer was reinstalled to the latest version.
Taking the legacy-boot flag off does not let the boot repair fix this.
How do I force an EFI install of grub?

Can I make my custom locked-down computer more “open”?
I recently acquired an old computer branded as a WOW! computer. This computer brand is marketed to seniors who are not comfortable using computers. (Here’s a site that mentions it – https://www.elderguru.com/wow-computer-for-seniors/) The basic idea is that the computer is set up by the mother company with a locked down set of programs, running on top of a Linux distribution that is less susceptible to viruses and malware than the computer systems most people use (Windows & MAC). You get 30 days of free support while you are learning to use the machine to check your email, look at photos and Facebook, etc. Then you pay about $10/month for continued support. If anything goes wrong you call the support number and they help you. You can also have someone log in remotely to solve your issues for you. No computer “techy” knowledge is necessary. Just turn it on and use it and then turn it off.
Some people love it. Some people hate it. It is fairly expensive at about $1200 for a rather entry level piece of equipment (low end AMD processor) and less RAM (2GB) than would normally be desired in todays computing environment. Any person who understands computers will find this price for this equipment as overpriced. But for those who just don’t care to learn computers and are afraid of malware and viruses and fixing computers they gladly pay the price for some peace of mind.
One of the biggest drawbacks for this system is that it is locked down to the point that the user cannot install any software. And the user must use the software that was provided for them. There is no choice. And if the user decides not to pay the $10/mo they are on their own. There will be no local help since it runs a customized Linux that no one among their family and friends will understand so they will not be able to help. Another issue that is often mentioned as a problem is that the system only supports HP printers. No other printers are supported. If you already have another brand of printer you are out of luck. HP printers only.
So, what can be done if someone buys into this computer and then becomes disallusioned and wants to make a change? Or what if the user passes away and the family wants to give this computer away to someone or give it to the senior center? Can this computer be upgraded? Can it be used my multiple people? Can it be switched to Windows or MAC operating system? Can it run a standard Linux distro like MX or antiX?
I set about to find the answers to these questions by diving in to learn all I could about this Wow! computer that is now in my collection of old computers. Maybe I can put it use. Or maybe I can help others who got this same computer but are confused about what to do with it if they don’t like the closed system it runs on.
I don’t know if this particular Wow! computer is the same as other locked down systems being sold and marketed under other brands. But I am confident that any marginally competent computer nerd can repurpose this machine and/or modify it to be more open for those who want that option.
When you first turn on this Wow! computer you are greeted with a MSI logo (MSI is the manufacturer of this Wow! computer) and a little bit of text in the lower left corner that tells you what keys to press to get into the BIOS or Boot menus. For this computer the DEL key is pressed while this screen is displayed to get into the BIOS setup screens. I don’t know if this screen is always shown or if this is a setting that can be turned on or off by the manufacturer. At any rate, it was pretty easy on this machine to get into the BIOS setup screens. It may be a little harder on some other systems but in my experience it is usually possible to boot the machine into the BIOS setup screens.
Once in the BIOS setup you can set the boot settings to boot from either a CD/DVD drive or a USB key drive. Using that setting I was able to boot into antiX off a Live USB. Once antiX was booted I was able to check that all the devices worked, such as sound and wifi, and then I used Gparted to look at the hard drive and determine how it was partitioned and formatted. In this case the hard drive was set as an MSDOS type and had three partitions already setup. One was a boot partition, one for the general Operating System, and one for a Swap partition. I was able to “shrink” the main OS partition and open enough room for a new Extended partition. Then I created a new Logical partition and formatted it with a Linux EXT4 type. Then I shut down and rebooted to the antiX Live USB to set the new partition table.
After I confirmed all the devices were working, and connecting to my wifi, I installed antiX-22 to this new logical partition I just created. I chose to allow the installer to install the grub bootloader to the MBR of the hard drive. Then I rebooted again and chose to boot from the hard drive. I was expecting to see antiX-22 and the Wow! systems on the grub menu. But the Wow! system was not listed. So I booted into antiX and ran boot repair and rebooted. Again, Wow! was not listed. I again booted into antiX and I mounted the Wow! partition and looked at the boot partition and found the grub boot configs. I could see that the grub that was used by Wow! was an older version and used the wrong syntax for the current grub 2 system being used by antiX-22.
I modified the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file and added the grub lines from the Wow! boot config files and adjusted them with the current grub 2 syntax. Then I again ran antiX Boot Repair and rebooted. This time the Wow! system was on the list at boot time. I selected Wow! and it started up normally. From the Wow! software perspective this system is the only system on the computer and it doesn’t know about antiX.
So, this is the solution for anyone who wants to either keep their Wow! computer running but also make the computer more “open” and “normal”, or someone who wants to repurpose the machine and install another Operating System and never use Wow! again.
It is always my practice to keep the original operating system on the computer when I get a new “old computer”. This is partly for historical purposes. But it also so that I can access the original setup files that the original manufacturer may have installed. I usually do this with a Windows system. But this works just as well with this Wow! computer. And it will work with any other hard drive installed system. (I have found that this approach does not work with ChromeOS systems since Chrome does not like to share the drive. On those systems you need to add a second drive if you want to keep the original ChromeOS).
This solution of multi-booting another operating system along with the Wow! system should solve most of the complaints that I mentioned above. If the user, or a “nerd” who is helping out, installs a mainstream Linux distro in another partition, and sets up grub to have a menu of choices that the user can select from, then the user can choose to not use Wow! all the time. But Wow! will still be there if they want to use it. Just switch back and forth between Wow! and the mainstream Linux. Use the mainstream Linux for the non-HP printers, additional software, and anything else a regular Linux system can provide. Or maybe the wife wants to use Wow! and the husband wants to use Linux, or visa versa. It is not hard to teach the user what choice to make at the grub menu. And both systems can be multi-user.
I suspect that most of us who use antiX or MX would not enjoy using a Wow! computer. And we probably would not suggest our friends and relatives to buy one. But if they do, and they ask for our help, we may suggest that they let us make their computer more “open” by multi-booting with antiX or MX. They will thank us for liberating them from the locked down Wow! system. And they can stop paying the $10 per month!

Hi everyone! I’ve got a suspected hardware issue and am in the same boat here where installing antiX results in 94% completion and no evident way to proceed to 100%. Forgive me for my bad forum etiquette if responding here isn’t the way to do things – I have limited experience on forums and with Linux both but gave this OS a shot and it seems fast and more intuitive than other options.

Thanks for the reply.
To know if you are running out of swap or memory, you would need to monitor (run htop in a window) memory and swap usage while running the search.
Unfortunately, I see nothing strange before crash.
Maybe try searching a smaller area or restrict the types of files searched? That might tell you if the problem is related to the size of the search.
As I wrote in my #97873 post:
I searched each subfolder separately several times and it crashed only two times, about two different subfolders, but when I repeated the search to these two subfolders, no crash happened again.
This was that made me think that insufficient memory and not a “bad” file causes the problem.

I don’t know if swap is the problem. When you ran the inxi you attached it wasn’t being used. But we don’t know if the search was running near the point of failure then. Increasing the swap size would require reducing the size of the main partition first.
PS: I wonder if creating a larger swap FILE on your main partition might be a possibility? I’ve never tried THAT.
You might be a candidate for zram, given your 1gb memory size.

If all else fails due to lack of resources, I guess you need to use “budget” searching methods… One thing it does teach is that using fancy file formats instead of simpler text ones has a big price.

On a memory strapped system swap space is critical.
Did you ensure you have that setup correctly.
Thank you for helping me. How can I ensure it? Does the info I have attached to my #97884 post help to this?

To install the kernel on an installed system
menu > control-centre > Software > Package Installer > kernel
The one that is installed per default on 32bit is the oldest kernel. You can give the 4.19 or also the 5.10 kernel a try.Nice, i´ll try them once i can connect to my wi-fi network ( Either by running the laptop’s wireless network card(if i can) or with an external antenna)
After installation reboot. The system now automatically boots to the newest version. If you have to fall back to any older kernel you can do this over the “advanced options” on the boot screen of the installed system.As long as you wont uninstall any kernel you can always fall back to them.
Good good, nice feature! I´ll save this tip, thanks!
To shrink a windows XP partition it sure is the best to use the XP system.
I tried, but from windows i couldn´t shrink the system´s partition, at least not in XP. Neither via minitool wizard partition or similars.
BUT.. I could using the gparted from Live Desktop! Now i have a 20GB Partition for WinXP, 15 GB partition for AntiX and 3GB for Swap!
Please tell us if the module wistron_bts is still blacklisted on the installed system or if we need to blacklist it.
Well after installation the Desktop works pretty fluid, as should work. Also I selected the “Save changes from Live Desktop” option at the final when installing, so i suppose it conserved it blacklisted?

I’m installing Antix22 on a Yoga 2 11 laptop running Windows 10, in dual boot.
The laptop is using UEFI with GPT partitions. Antix is installing on the root partition created, but even though the EFI positions are given, with swap and a BOOT-GRUB supplied as requested for the GPT partitions, the install process forces a legacy-boot flag on the root partition, gray’s out the ESP option, and I can only boot the HD system but booting the live system, reading the grub file and choosing the installed system from there.The live system was updated and upgraded, and the installer was reinstalled to the latest version.
Taking the legacy-boot flag off does not let the boot repair fix this.
How do I force an EFI install of grub?

Can I make my custom locked-down computer more “open”?
I recently acquired an old computer branded as a WOW! computer. This computer brand is marketed to seniors who are not comfortable using computers. (Here’s a site that mentions it – https://www.elderguru.com/wow-computer-for-seniors/) The basic idea is that the computer is set up by the mother company with a locked down set of programs, running on top of a Linux distribution that is less susceptible to viruses and malware than the computer systems most people use (Windows & MAC). You get 30 days of free support while you are learning to use the machine to check your email, look at photos and Facebook, etc. Then you pay about $10/month for continued support. If anything goes wrong you call the support number and they help you. You can also have someone log in remotely to solve your issues for you. No computer “techy” knowledge is necessary. Just turn it on and use it and then turn it off.
Some people love it. Some people hate it. It is fairly expensive at about $1200 for a rather entry level piece of equipment (low end AMD processor) and less RAM (2GB) than would normally be desired in todays computing environment. Any person who understands computers will find this price for this equipment as overpriced. But for those who just don’t care to learn computers and are afraid of malware and viruses and fixing computers they gladly pay the price for some peace of mind.
One of the biggest drawbacks for this system is that it is locked down to the point that the user cannot install any software. And the user must use the software that was provided for them. There is no choice. And if the user decides not to pay the $10/mo they are on their own. There will be no local help since it runs a customized Linux that no one among their family and friends will understand so they will not be able to help. Another issue that is often mentioned as a problem is that the system only supports HP printers. No other printers are supported. If you already have another brand of printer you are out of luck. HP printers only.
So, what can be done if someone buys into this computer and then becomes disallusioned and wants to make a change? Or what if the user passes away and the family wants to give this computer away to someone or give it to the senior center? Can this computer be upgraded? Can it be used my multiple people? Can it be switched to Windows or MAC operating system? Can it run a standard Linux distro like MX or antiX?
I set about to find the answers to these questions by diving in to learn all I could about this Wow! computer that is now in my collection of old computers. Maybe I can put it use. Or maybe I can help others who got this same computer but are confused about what to do with it if they don’t like the closed system it runs on.
I don’t know if this particular Wow! computer is the same as other locked down systems being sold and marketed under other brands. But I am confident that any marginally competent computer nerd can repurpose this machine and/or modify it to be more open for those who want that option.
When you first turn on this Wow! computer you are greeted with a MSI logo (MSI is the manufacturer of this Wow! computer) and a little bit of text in the lower left corner that tells you what keys to press to get into the BIOS or Boot menus. For this computer the DEL key is pressed while this screen is displayed to get into the BIOS setup screens. I don’t know if this screen is always shown or if this is a setting that can be turned on or off by the manufacturer. At any rate, it was pretty easy on this machine to get into the BIOS setup screens. It may be a little harder on some other systems but in my experience it is usually possible to boot the machine into the BIOS setup screens.
Once in the BIOS setup you can set the boot settings to boot from either a CD/DVD drive or a USB key drive. Using that setting I was able to boot into antiX off a Live USB. Once antiX was booted I was able to check that all the devices worked, such as sound and wifi, and then I used Gparted to look at the hard drive and determine how it was partitioned and formatted. In this case the hard drive was set as an MSDOS type and had three partitions already setup. One was a boot partition, one for the general Operating System, and one for a Swap partition. I was able to “shrink” the main OS partition and open enough room for a new Extended partition. Then I created a new Logical partition and formatted it with a Linux EXT4 type. Then I shut down and rebooted to the antiX Live USB to set the new partition table.
After I confirmed all the devices were working, and connecting to my wifi, I installed antiX-22 to this new logical partition I just created. I chose to allow the installer to install the grub bootloader to the MBR of the hard drive. Then I rebooted again and chose to boot from the hard drive. I was expecting to see antiX-22 and the Wow! systems on the grub menu. But the Wow! system was not listed. So I booted into antiX and ran boot repair and rebooted. Again, Wow! was not listed. I again booted into antiX and I mounted the Wow! partition and looked at the boot partition and found the grub boot configs. I could see that the grub that was used by Wow! was an older version and used the wrong syntax for the current grub 2 system being used by antiX-22.
I modified the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file and added the grub lines from the Wow! boot config files and adjusted them with the current grub 2 syntax. Then I again ran antiX Boot Repair and rebooted. This time the Wow! system was on the list at boot time. I selected Wow! and it started up normally. From the Wow! software perspective this system is the only system on the computer and it doesn’t know about antiX.
So, this is the solution for anyone who wants to either keep their Wow! computer running but also make the computer more “open” and “normal”, or someone who wants to repurpose the machine and install another Operating System and never use Wow! again.
It is always my practice to keep the original operating system on the computer when I get a new “old computer”. This is partly for historical purposes. But it also so that I can access the original setup files that the original manufacturer may have installed. I usually do this with a Windows system. But this works just as well with this Wow! computer. And it will work with any other hard drive installed system. (I have found that this approach does not work with ChromeOS systems since Chrome does not like to share the drive. On those systems you need to add a second drive if you want to keep the original ChromeOS).
This solution of multi-booting another operating system along with the Wow! system should solve most of the complaints that I mentioned above. If the user, or a “nerd” who is helping out, installs a mainstream Linux distro in another partition, and sets up grub to have a menu of choices that the user can select from, then the user can choose to not use Wow! all the time. But Wow! will still be there if they want to use it. Just switch back and forth between Wow! and the mainstream Linux. Use the mainstream Linux for the non-HP printers, additional software, and anything else a regular Linux system can provide. Or maybe the wife wants to use Wow! and the husband wants to use Linux, or visa versa. It is not hard to teach the user what choice to make at the grub menu. And both systems can be multi-user.
I suspect that most of us who use antiX or MX would not enjoy using a Wow! computer. And we probably would not suggest our friends and relatives to buy one. But if they do, and they ask for our help, we may suggest that they let us make their computer more “open” by multi-booting with antiX or MX. They will thank us for liberating them from the locked down Wow! system. And they can stop paying the $10 per month!
