I’d keep it all one partition. 71 GB is small these days, and this gives you the freedom to use the space for new programs OR user files, as you see fit.
If you do split, I’d say maybe 20 GB root, and the rest as home – except for a swap partition. Maybe 1-2 GB swap.
I’ve never noticed a performance difference, personally. And my HDDs tend to be small.
I normally only split up the HDD if I intend to multi-boot.
Just my preferences. YMMV, as they say. 😉

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsTopic: [solved] Install trouble
roland
I cannot install any current release of antiX on this Acer Aspire small laptop, having recently tried with 17, 19 and 21. The install procedure usually fails processing the device, either attempting some partition format or simply hanging endlessly. I can run from a memory stick which is what I am doing right now using the very latest release 21 recently downloaded.
I have tried every imaginable combination of partition table type, ESP present or not, boot and esp flags set or or not, 2, 3 or more partitions present, default install or using prepared partions, but nothing works.
Related to this problem my questions are, what are the suggested or recommended device setup parameters to achieve a successful install?
Also why does the install process insist on its formatting the esp swap and root partitions? Why can this not be left to the user, to prepare all partitions himself in advance of the install? Maybe as an option?
Why does the install fail to recognise my ESP partition which is present with esp and boot flags set?The install procedure has been revised and enhanced several times with each successive release, and I have no quarrel with the release 21 version when I have used it on a normal PC, but I am not so sure it can cope with this laptop. This laptop has me beat.
All contributions welcome, it’s all probably down to my own lack of experience.

I have a problem with my Dell “Latitude” laptop. Its built-in touchpad w/ mouse buttons gets in the way, while I’m typing on the keyboard. The lower ends of my thumbs occasionally contact the touchpad, and then the cursor on screen jumps somewhere else instead of remaining where I need it to be. (I use an external trackball as my mouse.)
Note, this isn’t the same laptop I’ve posted about before involving other issues. The other was in a Dell Precision laptop using a fully upgraded copy of Antix v19.3, and this one is in a Dell Latitude laptop using Antix v19.4.
If I could, I’d disable the touchpad from within the BIOS – but, this is a used (second-hand) machine, and some previous owner of the machine set an “Administrator password” which I don’t know the value of. The BIOS won’t let me change the settings of the machine’s components, without that password.
So, I’m wondering if there’s any method of over-riding the BIOS settings for the touchpad, to disable the touchpad via software within the Linux operating system. This, if at all possible, probably requires an expert understanding of the operating system, and coding.
Anybody have any ideas on how to disable the touchpad and its mouse buttons?

In reply to: How many tabs will it take?

Here I have to contradict, seaken64.
seaken64 wrote:
With Firefox you may get two or three tabs before RAM is used up.
Simply No. It depends only on how you set up your system and how you set up firefox. I’m runnung firefox right now with 147(!) tabs open on an 32bit single core PC with 2 GB RAM (DDR2, PC-5200) only on antiX 19.3 with all recent updates. It doesn’t matter whether it is an Intel Pentium or an Athlon XP, I have both here in daily use
Theoretically speaking, how many tabs a browser can handle, also largely depends on what kind of websites you are browsing. I used to also have a 2GB RAM laptop (a Thinkpad X60, fwiw) as my daily driver, it could possibly handle 100+ tabs of antiX forum posts *ONLY* (although I did not try it that way), but definitely not when I already have some Gmail+GoogleCalender+GoogleNotes (or the Outlook+Calendar+OneNote flavor) + GitHub + StackOverflow + etc tabs constantly open. From a technology standpoint, the tipping point is when the last straw (i.e. the last tab) that brings your computer into thrashing situation. You could know you are approach that limit by keeping an eye on the second-rightmost icon on the systray (i.e. the memory gauge) and an “htop” console, but you usually won’t be able to pull your computer back if it went pass the no-return-point.
That is why I think @Robin’s 147(!) number is very impressive! I would love to learn from Robin’s wisdom and reproduce his/her success.
Probably I should add: I’m running antiX full from a 64GB Live Persistent USB stick, but having the Swap partition NOT on the Live medium, letting antiX use the existing Swap partition on rotational hard drive.
@Robin you mentioned “it depends on (1) how you set up your system and (2) how you set up fiBut even under really heavy load I rarely see the hard drive starting to swap (Especially this can happen when editing really big and highres images in Gimp.) But firefox never has made the PC start swapping.refox”. Was the paragraph above the “set up your system” part? I assume only a minority of antiX users are using Live USB, but coincidentally I am one of the Live USB users, and I have long been setting up swap partition on outside of USB stick.
But even under really heavy load I rarely see the hard drive starting to swap (Especially this can happen when editing really big and highres images in Gimp.) But firefox never has made the PC start swapping.
That is an enviable performance, @Robin. I don’t know Gimp much so I just assume Gimp would use a definitive amount of RAM proportional to your image size. But the Firefox (or its “content process(es)” seems to be a different beast. Right now, on my 4GB RAM laptop, there are 8 default firefox content processes. Each of them occupies ~100MB to ~600MB RAM, one of them even uses 33.3GB(!) Virtual RAM, according to htop.
$ sudo ps_mem.py -S Private + Shared = RAM used Swap used Program ... 1.3 GiB + 150.3 MiB = 1.4 GiB 90.1 MiB firefox-esr (10) $ htop PID ... VIRT RES SHR ...

So, I would assume it is the following “firefox setup” that would make a big difference.
Probably the magic behind it is how you configure your firefox. There are some settings, I change from the default values on these machines so everything runs smoothly:
1.) remove the checkmark from the Entry “Use recommended Performance settings” in section “Performance settings”2.) Set chekmark at “Use Hardware-accelleration”. This will have only any affect, when your video driver is able to handle this. I observed the original Nvidia driver does handle this perfectly, but Nouveau driver I have doubts whether there is any accelleration in use at all. It feels as if all the rendering is done by the CPU instead of GPU.
2.) set “Max Content threads” to “1” (one).
In contrast to what they do write there (“the more threads you have the better would be the performance”), the opposite is true on weak machines. Firefox will run like a youngster on even a single core 32 bit system when setting this to one only.3.) When running on original Nvidia driver the setting “activate smooth scrolling” is fine. But again, when running on Nouveau driver you should deactivate this setting for improved performance.
As you can see, the usability of your system in everyday usage heavily depends on the quality of the video drivers you can lay hands on and install.
Thanks. I applied that “set max content threads to 1” just now. I would need some time (days?) to observe how it behaves.
I do have questions on the video drivers.
* How does a user know whether his/her antiX system is using the optimal video driver? antiX21 uses an i915 driver on my laptop. Is it good? Bad?

4.) And finally do install at all costs “uBlock origin” on firefox. This stops rendering all the heavy overhead the modern internet web pages come with. You would not believe what a difference this makes in everyday usage. Actually you do need the modern hardware only to satisfy the needs of advertising industry…
Interesting point on the advertising industry. 🙂
antiX seems to already comes with some ad-blocking capability out-of-the-box, and I thought that was enough (even though it is also sometimes inconvenient). I installed “uBlock Origin” just now, and I’ll observe its effect in next few days.
However, I have to say I am skeptical on whether ad-blocker alone would make much difference to my usage pattern. As hinted above in my first paragraph in this post, my constant opened tabs are those like Gmail or Outlook. Those 2 particular web pages contain no ads, they are just resource-hungry in their own right.
All in all, thanks a lot for Robin’s sharing. I really look forward to hear more details from @Robin.
In reply to: How many tabs will it take?
Robin
Here I have to contradict, seaken64.
With Firefox you may get two or three tabs before RAM is used up.
Simply No. It depends only on how you set up your system and how you set up firefox. I’m runnung firefox right now with 147(!) tabs open on an 32bit single core PC with 2 GB RAM (DDR2, PC-5200) only on antiX 19.3 with all recent updates. It doesn’t matter whether it is an Intel Pentium or an Athlon XP, I have both here in daily use, both with 2GB RAM and no problems with running Thunderbird or Claws mail parallel, and in the background having the machine translation script working at the antiX translations from transifex one language after the other. This class of machines is even good for watching live TV using aCSTV, without having to close the other programs before. Sometimes I have 20 Windows at the same time opened, Geany with multiple tabs at several projects running and also leafpad, mirage, and loading some photos with gtkam from digital camera. All this works smooth and fluent, the memory management on antiX does a really great job.
Probably I should add: I’m running antiX full from a 64GB Live Persistent USB stick, but having the Swap partition NOT on the Live medium, letting antiX use the existing Swap partition on rotational hard drive.
But even under really heavy load I rarely see the hard drive starting to swap (Especially this can happen when editing really big and highres images in Gimp.) But firefox never has made the PC start swapping.
Probably the magic behind it is how you configure your firefox. There are some settings, I change from the default values on these machines so everything runs smoothly:
1.)remove the checkmark from the Entry "Use recommended Performance settings" in section "Performance settings"2.)

When running on original Nvidia driver the setting "activate smooth scrolling" is fine.But again, when running on Nouveau driver you should deactivate this setting for improved performance.As you can see, the usability of your system in everyday usage heavily depends on the quality of the video drivers you can lay hands on and install. If the driver lets all the work to the CPU, and the GPU idles most of the time instead of being used for what it is designed for, it is needless to ask why a specific system is not usable in everyday usage. All the existing performance is eaten up by rendering everything on CPU instead of GPU. And this goes also for the rendering of multiple browser tabs.
Just an example: I can run a simple video file of e.g. 2360 kbps smoothly even dual screen with a CPU load of max 60% peak and an average of 40% with antiX 19.3 on the 32 bit pentium M system (nominal 1,4 GHz, 2GB RAM) with original nvidia drivers installed. But on antiX 21 using the nouveau driver on the very same machine the very same video file using the very same program (mpv) outpowers the CPU to constantly 100%, even rendering the video display choppy and not allowing to do anything else at the same time on the machine. That makes all the difference.
4.) And finally do install at all costs
"uBlock origin"on firefox. This stops rendering all the heavy overhead the modern internet web pages come with. You would not believe what a difference this makes in everyday usage. Actually you do need the modern hardware only to satisfy the needs of advertising industry… For the true content of any webpage a 32 bit single core CPU combined with a true high performance GPU is enough to render dozens of tabs in firefox. As I told you, I’m right now running 147 tabs simultaneously. No joke. (This comes since I work at a lots of projects parallel, swithing fast between them. It would simply take to much time to close and open the tabs. Allways open: Leo, Deepl, google-translate, woxicon, duden, linguee, 4 times transifex, antiX forum, 6 times gitlab, 2 times gitgub, wikipedia, to list only a couple of them, and also dozens of sites for recent researching in different matters.) Runing frescobaldi sometimes parallel, or listening to some audio stream from “poor mans radio player” or Audio-CD. All this parallel on a single core 32 bit CPU, without having to wait longer than a second or two for anything.

Firefox + 1 GB RAM = “daily driver” ?
Unfortunately I can’t answer this. Indeed, it might be a great difference whether you have only one GB RAM instead of the 2 GB on which my experience is based.
Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

@entropyagent: re installing on LVM:
I too attempted installing 21 on an LVM, though swap was an existing regular swap partition. I found the install stopped at 8 to 12%, failing to mount /dev/vgname-lvname. In my case, I used vg name of os and an lv name of antix. The lvm2 installed (from Debian) seems to put the symbolic names in /dev/vgname/lvname (NOT using a dash, but subdirectory structure). In my case, I formatted the lvm as ext4 in another linux since that had not been done. Could have done it from the antiX live session by referring to the right /dev/dm-#. Then in the live session I provided a symbolic link to the right dm-# from /dev/os-antix (generic /dev/vgname-lvname). I was able to complete installation. I choose NOT to install boot code since I have a more active but slow Linux installation on the computer already. That Linux was able to find the two initrd and vmlinuz files and add them to my grub choices. On booting, /dev/os-antix appears not to have been found and booting failed.
Finding and fixing wherever it is that the old /dev/vgname-lvname convention is assumed or getting all the lvm2 drivers to also produce /dev names in that form or finding a right version of lvm2 is beyond me, but I suspect it is doable.
Best

Hey Folks,
Sorry, don’t mean to necrobump, but I just want to report that I am also getting this error.

@skidoo- You are, as always correct on your analisys- but doesn’t the same thing apply to any “Trash can/ recycle bin”?
And wouldn’t it be worse if the user removes folders/files in a OS that does not allow for easy “undo”?@All – Version 1.0 is out!
Changes:
-Thanks to BobC right clicking the Network toolbar icon makes a pop appear with info about your connection (it goes away after 20 seconds)
-The calendar allows to add/edit events, by left clicking any date. The events are stored at ~/yad-calendar.txt (that can be manually edited in any text editor)
-I swapped the last 2 Tiles, and pre added a last Tile to access gnome-clocks (that line has to be uncommented in tiles.csv)
-Small edit in jgmenu-edit.desktopThat’s all, folks, for now I packed as many features as I could, without any extra resource usage. There are still many things in my to-do list, but that’s for an eventual next release.
If a bug/typo is found, let me know and I’ll try to solve it and update the package, but for now FT10 is in “feature freeze” – no feature will be added.
Thanks to Marcelocripe and BobC, but specilly to Xecure ( that’s responsable for many features and the original packaging) for helping make FT10 what it currently is!
If would be great to see FT10 (and jgmenu’s) packages added to the antiX repository, so installing it is even easier for the newbies it’s meant to help transition to antiX…Happy new year, everyone!
