I don’t think I’d put it that way, re my developing both pinxi and inxi, pinxi becomes next inxi, it rolls along that way endlessly. Whenever the features being worked on actively in pinxi are stable and working and have been tested hopefully (though this is often optimistic) enough, pinxi is literally copied over to inxi, pinxi.1 man file is copied to inxi.1 man file, and pinxi.changelog is copied over to inxi.changelog, and then we have a new inxi.
In other words, I don’t develop inxi at all, I only develop pinxi, pinxi.1, and pinxi.changelog, which once stable are copied to the master branch as inxi bits, and committed, but I technically almost never work on inxi itself, unless I’m fixing a typo, but with my new release.pl tool, I actually now almost never touch inxi at all, quite literally it’s not touched, the release.pl does all the updates etc, and then I commit that once it’s passed the release.pl pre-release tests. I used to work on inxi a tiny bit, like copying pinxi to it manually, and maybe editing a typo, but now I don’t do any of that anymore, it’s much easier to release and correct issues, it’s always pinxi > inxi now. So technically I work on pinxi, period, and I release inxi, but don’t work on it, if that makes sense.
Because of the increasing complexity of some features, I recently did a suite of release and pre-release perl tools, which live in inxi-perl/tools/, and also I did and do more releases of the core inxi data which is required to make it work and debug it etc, which now live in inxi-perl/data/, which both are also reflected in inxi-perl/docs/ which is more granular now. pinxi > inxi is getting a lot more complicated to work on, though the code is easier by the year as I do upgrades, but the overall conceptual complexity is getting to be a lot more… daunting… but all the recent tools, data releases, etc, were all designed to make it less daunting and less error prone, those seem to be working roughly as intended.
Barring tiny edits right at release, this is the only update inxi ever sees. Part of this comes from my detesting how git treats branches, and the horror of ‘merging’ branches, so I skip all of that, and literally copy pinxi to inxi, then commit that change to git master branch. This also results in my being always able to in real time test pinxi against inxi to confirm that I didn’t break something. I used this feature a lot during this pinxi cycle since I was working on some bugs and oddities and had to keep comparing pinxi output to inxi 3.3.21 output to make sure I hadn’t broken anything and that the fix had actually fixed the issue, not broken it worse.
I personally honestly do not even understand how people work on git branch based stuff when the changes get really massive, which pinxi changes almost always do, sometimes one single next inxi might change 10-20% of the entire codebase.

Yesterday I noticed the very same problem:
1. I downloaded from the Italian mirror antiX 21 base
2. I installed it on an external HD USB using “create Live USB”
3. I did “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade”
4. I installed chromium from “software installer”when I tried to start the program I received the same message as johnd.
On this same pc with the “traditional” install on the hd all is working (with the chromium version 104.0.5112.79)
now the issue is with the new version 105.0.5195.52.Moreover I should highlight that my pc seems to have the support for sse3.

For me chromium on this pc is very important because it is simply perfect to all my needs. In the worst case I’ll follow the solution to stop its updates, waiting to find another browser that fits all my needs 🙂
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Sometimes after I change a partition, or install another separate antiX system on another partition, or if I change the swap size, I get that delay. What I did was to go back to the antiX partition that controls the grub and update the initramfs.
sudo update-initramfs -c -k allPerhaps this might help.
4 seconds as before the issue…
Thank you very very much!calciumsodium

This morning I used Redo Resque (www.redoresque.com) to clone the old hard drive to a new SSD.
Everything worked fine, however, the new disk is much larger, and I had to then enlarge the partition space manually with gparted.
After doing this, grub takes about 30 seconds to start loading the operating system (antix 21 32 bit); during this time the screen remains black with the cursor blinking on the top left of the screen.
To try to fix it, I generated a new UID of the hard disk and swap partition (that I had had to delete and redo), but unfortunately I did not solve the problem.
If anyone can help me… Many thanks!# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab UUID=f5184ae6-9197-4f35-b878-76a348c0b733 / ext4 noatime 1 1 #-> /dev/sda3 UUID=e4e07f6c-bb31-433e-9268-a888db542459 swap defaults 0 0 #-> /dev/sda1 #UUID=4C80C19280C18346 /media/4C80C19280C18346 ntfs-3g noauto,noexec,uid=1000,gid=users,dmask=002,fmask=113,users 0 0 # /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0 # /dev/cdrw /media/cdrw iso9660 noauto,users,exec,rw 0 0 # /dev/dvd /media/dvd udf noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0 # /dev/dvdrw /media/dvdrw udf noauto,users,exec,rw 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/sr0 auto noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0 # Windows partition /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g uid=silvio,gid=users 0 0- This topic was modified 8 months, 1 week ago by silvioto.

I use a netbook with that processor for reading books and for travel. It has 2GB memory, 1GB swap file, 16GB flash drive, no hard drive. I’ve never noticed any swap usage indicated in conky. Browsing is a little slow but reliable with firefox + ublock-origin. Always hoping for a miracle, I have tried various linuxes and BSDs on that computer, but I always come back to antiX.
Regarding browsers, I had high cpu usage with libbyapp.com book reader, so I experimented with several light browsers before concluding libby was the problem. I tried surf, netsurf, midori, seamonkey, palemoon, ungoogled chromium, otter, falkon, epiphany, but for me none had any advantage over firefox. 32-bit support for palemoon and chromium seems shaky and epiphany won’t run in firejail.
MSI Wind U100, Atom N270 32-bit 1.6GHz single core, Antix-21 base, full-featured encrypted installation with live-usb-maker. jwm-rox, firefox, firejail, protonvpn-cli, qpdf, leafpad, mtpaint; nothing heavy like office, gimp, etc. I don’t think encryption slows anything down other than a small delay after entering the passphrase.

Hi,
Here I use Palemoon (+ Nojavascript + HTML5 Media tuner + Lull the tabs pluggins) instead Firefox
I have a swap partition, Roxterm is fine, and I use zswap (2GB of RAM here too)(added into grub: zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=zstd zswap.max_pool_percent=45 zswap.zpool=z3fold)

Hello everyone.
Im running AntiX on an old netbook with Intel Atom N270 with 2GB RAM. Runs very good with very low CPU and RAM usage. Of course it cant load pages very fast but seems to do the work.Are there any tips that i can do to speed up things a little? Or remove unwanted stuff? Also any recommendations for terminal apps?
I already asked a question about how to install a package thats only on Sid and testing.
Should i remove swap?(Will decrease performance)How to do this? Also i encrypt the whole disk will this a performance loss as well?
Thanks for your wonderful job!In reply to: What are you “here” with today?

I do not think the quoted statement is really entirely correct. I have used BtrFS for antiX main partition on flash drive and it worked perfectly fine. I have not yet tested but I expect that other file systems, such as F2FS should work as well. I will try when have the time but I suggest you can try initially to test F2FS using the following:
I couldn’t find the options for live-usb-maker script to do that but I’ll look again, and live-usb-maker GUI. Thanks, I’ll try your method if necessary.
So I installed an antiX 21 full version from a Live USB stick on another 64GB Samsung USB 3.1 stick formatted in f2fs in legacy mode (MBR). I used to use the same drive in ext4. Everything worked very well, the wonderful antiX handles f2fs formatting very well. I divided my key into 3 primary partitions. The 1st for swap, the 2nd for root with grub (f2fs formatting), the 3rd partition in exFAT to share data with Windows.
What I found. antiX 21 is much faster with f2fs formatting. It is especially for the installation of the distribution, the installation of firefox, google chrome or installing a new kernel. Even to do the simple command “sudo apt update”, the index is much faster.
Thanks for trying. I haven’t tried yet so that’s promising to hear, especially that the drive gets less hot. I keep getting I/O errors on my drives with Ext4.
It looks like F2FS is a viable filesystem, not only for USB, but also for any NAND-based storage devices, which would also include NVME SSD, so this is very good news as many people use various solid state media instead of physical rotating CD, DVD, BlueRay and hard disk drives.
Before starting this topic I was reading about F2FS, and read these Phoronix articles:
Linux 5.14 SSD Benchmarks With Btrfs vs. EXT4 vs. F2FS vs. XFS
F2FS vs. EXT4 File-System Performance With Intel’s Clear Linux
Ext4 performance looks very hard to compete with. BTRFS is still slower than Ext4. F2FS did alright on that NVMe SSD. But it really shines on flash drives, SD cards, eMMC, and other lower quality flash storage than NVMe.- This reply was modified 8 months, 1 week ago by Dzhigit. Reason: put URLs on new lines

Hello.
While reading your thread, I did some research on the internet. I saw many tests that showed that f2fs formatting for USB and SSD drives was faster than ext4. The tests were up to double the difference.
So I installed an antiX 21 full version from a Live USB stick on another 64GB Samsung USB 3.1 stick formatted in f2fs in legacy mode (MBR). I used to use the same drive in ext4. Everything worked very well, the wonderful antiX handles f2fs formatting very well. I divided my key into 3 primary partitions. The 1st for swap, the 2nd for root with grub (f2fs formatting), the 3rd partition in exFAT to share data with Windows.
What I found. antiX 21 is much faster with f2fs formatting. It is especially for the installation of the distribution, the installation of firefox, google chrome or installing a new kernel. Even to do the simple command “sudo apt update”, the index is much faster.
Starting programs (LibreOffice, Google Chrome, Firefox…) is also faster with f2fs formatting.
You have convinced me, I think I will use this f2fs formatting and I will abandon ext4 for my USB sticks or SSDs.
It’s obvious, even the USB stick is less hot with f2fs formatting.
Thanks also to anticapitalista for this nice distribution.
I wonder why this type of formatting is not recommended more on the forum for USB drives.
Best regards,

Cut of a section of the inxi “man page”:
Main Feature Options: -A, --audio Audio/sound devices(s), driver, running sound servers. -b, --basic Basic output, short form. Same as inxi -v 2. -B, --battery System battery info, including charge, condition voltage (if critical), plus extra info (if battery present/detected). -C, --cpu CPU output (if each item available): basic topology, model, type (see man for types), cache, average CPU speed, min/max speeds, per core clock speeds. -d, --disk-full, --optical Optical drive data (and floppy disks, if present). Triggers -D. -D, --disk Hard Disk info, including total storage and details for each disk. Disk total used percentage includes swap partition size(s).With that, here’s my latest in my litany of descriptions of my daily environment; I’ll be showing a different kernel in a future listing!

As for the secondary laptop (part 2: boot into the installed system, where the wi-fi doesn’t work).
A message that seems to be relative appeared (I haven’t noticed it before):

Is it possible the removal of connman-iptables:i386 has caused the problem?
