🙂
okay then i will start the installation. Hope everything works out. I’ll be happy to tell you how it went.
Yes, the Thinkpads are great. I had already changed the screen, swapped fans … always XP and since there have been no updates, I made friends with Linux. Unfortunately I am not that experienced in terminal. Can only do a little, but I’ll practice.
Thank you.

Hi Eduardo, welcome to the forum.
not using swap makes sense with SSD, most ssd seem to last pretty well in my experience.
The soldered to the board EMMC in many devices is another story, a bad one due difficult to replace.
It is very owner unfriendly.

I mostly run antiX from a USB stick, just save files to a second one, USB 2 and 3 ports allow
fast boot. That works fine on systems with dead HDD or where BIOS allows without even fitting a disk.

Only thing I like about microsoft is that i am sometimes able to get computers for free, install
linux and either use myself for a while to ensure ok, then where possible donate to others.
Rotten fruit like the stuff apple sells as lifestyle product I find very unattractive. No buy for me.
Only thing I must credit that company for, the update policy for phones is way ahead of that for most
android devices. About 5 years of updates including OS.

And after much distro hopping and testing I think antiX is the best of the best.

I wish there was a sane way to get decent working Hardware to Brazil or other 3rd world countrys, now with
covid limiting travel the situation is worse than a couple of years ago when travellers could bring devices
like laptops or raspi to donate.

[Member Eduardo Lucas]

Thank you for your kindness! I mean like, it may sound quite crazy to do what i did with my laptop. BUT i really fear for its longevity. It’s an entry level Lenovo, so it may not have great internals and stuff, and reducing power and heat to tablet levels may help things out, including the battery which i mostly use as an alternative when i can’t plug it. So i thought about reducing power, as i said in the screenshot post, i really need to take care of my power bill, and i like to run the screen in maximum brightness as it’s not a great LCD panel. Surprised things work so great with RAM and system on chip running at 200-400mhz average. AntiX is so well architecturally thought and engineered. Quite comparable to what we learn as examples of quality software in university.

I really think swap isn’t necessary. It’s quite crazy windows land is unanimous about “you need swap” and even win10 stops you from disabling it. AntiX provides me the possibility of not caring about it at all. I also use suspend because i was never quite a fan of hibernation, ever since HDD-only era. I must say i also LOVE persistent AntiX live usb. I used it almost exclusively after my old laptop HDD died. It was definitely as you said, so fast and so efficient.

I really agree overall. Nice to talk with you again.

[Member Xecure]

Welcome. Amazing the changes you have done to limit power use and make your machine more power efficient.

I also don’t use swap at all and never had a problem with any of the antiX installations. I don’t hibernate and always have enough RAM to spare, so no need for it at all. There was a time I had an unreliable HDD, so I was running antiX mainly from a USB device with persistence, and it is amazing how well it performed from a USB 2.0 port, It seemed to run better that many other distros installed on HDD. So that is another possibility if you ever need to run without a HDD, to run live + persistence from a USB device, which should be cheaper to buying a new HDD.

[Member Eduardo Lucas]

I mean like, thanks, i`m really impressed by what could be achieved in this machine. What makes me wonder is how exacly AntiX provides such low CPU/GPU performance tax. The difference to other distros is so big.

I also love the fact that i can satisfingly use it with only 5.6gb of free ram without swap (as Vega 8 looks to be BIOS-hardcoded to use 2gb, not mattering what you do with it). I was on windows because i felt everything worked out of the box, but AntiX ecosystem has matured so fast, especially because non-SystemD is not as rejected as before by proprietary software vendors. I remember steam failed to install back in time. WinNT was using so much SSD space for virtual memory and there is no data about the lifespan of this particular SSD, and it got me worried, so i decided coming back to AntiX, which i personally love in other aspects. IceWM is beautiful, its win9x-OS/2 Warp interface is hot. Its a free do what you want operating system, with no telemetry, with a start button, with no mac OS/Apple b****** like windows 11 will be, but also without the nonsense big desktop/oriented distros have. I absolutely LOVE its low resource usage and the overall design, i could get into so many things but i cant, maybe the philosophy, because i also despise how computers are now meant to be trashed and how microsoft and apple want to force people to upgrade stuff in a capitalistic craze, something that can prevent people from getting old computers and poor people like those from my country from going into computing. I myself started with a very old machine in windows xp back in 2004. This will be impossible today unless free software like linux and bsd exists.

I`ve tried to write a post into the welcome section of the forum, but it likely failed because of pale moon incompatibilities with wordpress and got into spam filters. So my greetings to you all and thank you for your hospitality. Hope to be learning and improving my setup, as well as contributing as i can, particularly to my fellow brazilians (i saw some of them here).

I’m really excited to be talking to all and i was motivated to do it because this distribution has been so important for me. I’ve first used it when i lost my main computer, had previous experiences with linux in general, but not particularly exciting or user-friendly. While i have studied computer science and i’m myself a dropout, i was quite averse to systems that didn’t work out of the box, and AntiX was a happy surprise for me. I had looked into it because of the terrible computer i was forced to use, not really because of its specs, but mostly because of its bad build quality. I`m from Brazil and most brazilians here must know about positivo, but even with the low resource profile of this distro, i was happy to see how great it worked and how friendly it was. IceWM is a charm and the mix of win95-OS/2 UI and 16 bit default color is beautiful.

I was lucky, even while unemployed, of getting a Zen 1 Ryzen laptop, after the old laptop i got as a gift lost its HDD. With a new machine in hand, i decided to optimize its power usage (power bills are quite expensive here at this moment, our country’s economics are not great either), so i reduced its power envelope to 5 watts. According to geekbench, this brings it to cpu performance of the best Pentium D from 2006. I was happy to see things working with windows, but the abusive virtual memory usage of win 10 was annoying me so much, along with subpar performance. Considering i have only 5.6gb of free RAM and that Vega 8 gpu on ryzen system on chip uses 2gb that can’t really be changed, i started worrying about SSD lifespan, as i can’t find reliable data about it and the company that designed it. So i remember about antiX.

After some troubles with Grub, i was able to install it and boot normally. Now i have all RAM i need for now, no swap memory, running at the same insanely low power envelope of before, with much better performance. But AntiX is so much more than sleek, it feels so useful because IceWM is so respectful of classical UI design guidelines, i see no invasive services and telemetry, no extra overhead from current windows NT and the like (i actually don’t like certain distros as well), i love how i will be safeguarded from adopting appleish mac OS like nonsensical walled garden locked system, i love my freedom, i love having a start button. Windows 11 is a no-go for me. Windows as we know it probably died in 10. Now i just hope android and wine app support improves in linux (i’m using anbox but houdini is limited by not using systemd, but i would never go for systemd to have it, wine works fine tho), so i can use absolutely anything i had on windows. I love old apps and games. Office 2000 is great, even while i’m 25.

I absolutely love how AntiX is designed, how powerful its philosophies are, i love how you guys try to save old computers from trash and challenge capitalism and its anti-ecological drive, especially from silicon valley, who wants to make us buy new computers and drop old ones, compromising people from poor countries in the process, who may be excluded from computing, internet, learning. I owe everything to the web and to tim berners lee and his team. We need people like those behind antix. to know pentium II computers and maybe even pentium pro may boot 32 bit antiX, and to see so many people refusing to go microsoft way (especially with win11 demanding, as an example, amd minimum zen+ chips) and be enslaved by big corporations demands and shareholder greed. Thanks for this. You guys make me happy and excited to never leave this system, and i love how warm and receptive this forum and the community behind it is.

It’s a pleasure to know you all and sorry for being so abstruse, lengthy, and for my possible english mistakes.

I have been testing antix-bullseye-b1 (sysvinit) using the 5.10.27 kernel for a good month on this HP compaq 6200 pro microtower. I am very happy with the performance.

One thing that I have noticed more and more is that during boot, the computer pauses a good amount when trying to load rsyslogd. Every part of the boot goes very fast, except for this part.

Is there any reason why it pauses so long at this step on this computer? Is there a way to overcome this?

Good morning! (it’s morning in NYC)

Last night my new install of Antix19.4 was working on my Lenovo T500. This morning, on boot, I got the error message

Unable to create an interface to connman on the system bus.
CMST will not be able to communicate with connman.

resulting in no internet access.

Google wasn’t much help and I looked into this forum, checking that recommended commenting out wasn’t necessary, but still with the issue.

I have several small issues as I migrate to Antix but this one is new this AM and its something of a roadblock. I’ve looked on the forum and see a similar problem that someone had with wifi but I’m using eth0 and suggestions there didn’t apply.

Relevant dmesg -T text available at

https://mega.nz/file/5EE21TpJ#QRD1gVwmi26nitfXPOg58RDn3xRhbmSiWKbjiS3SZMQ

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks,

Alan

Do I understand what your intent is – to save your data files then wipe MX off the computer, replacing it with antiX?
If so, I think just booting with an antiX live-usb would enable you to do all of that, all at once.

@ christopher ,
Yes, I want to save my files, then wipe MX, replacing with antiX. If I boot with antiX, it will wipe all my files? When I booted with MX, I did it the simple way, putting home & root together, then encrypting it. Although I know how to make separate root, home, swap partitions, I only just recently learned how to encrypt them that way.

Hi and thanks for the prompt reply. My machine is down at the moment as I have been making some hardware changes.
There are two display adaptors installed, a Matrox card and on on-board Caicos (Radeon) I shall get the details after I have sorted out memory, (dead stick supplied courtesy of Ebay). My problem with the normal Control Panel>Settings route is that I only am offered one resolution. Clearly I have a problem.
The Bios has a display switch for internal or external and I am trying to get the Caicos to work. I shall try your command but meanwhile here’s what I tried earlier and I believe will tell you what you want:-

No issues found with this today. Since we have newer images, I’ll either update an installed instance or download and test a newer live instance.

All hardware in this build was newly bought, and the Comfast PCIe wifi adapter is for me a known quantity, I have 2 PCs built using it. It is necessary to use a kernel in the 5.xx range for the chipset and driver to be known in the headers.

I have recently experienced invalid signatures when running updates, which appear at first sight to be unrelated to comms. issues.

I am unwilling to run a reinstall unless on the buffers because this PC presented problems in setup and I prefer not to repeat the solutions, if indeed I could remember them all.

Ethernet cable connexion has never been used as the router is too far away. I used a plug-in Usb wifi adapter to get the initial updates done, which connected hotplug. Optic fibre router is a ZTE Corporation item supplied by the service provider which has been in use nearly a year without trouble.

My system is now stable and connects automatically when the wifi network is already running. If not running then becomes available, hotplug connection is usually not made. If I try to push things along by running Ceni manually, trouble usually starts, with a soft blocked interface wlan1, and related files present in /run/wpa_supplicant. This does not surprise me as they should be there if a hotplug connection is to succeed.

A am waiting for news of changes or improvements to Connman, but having already failed with it caution prevails.
