I post this problem in Hardware despite feeling the solution may lie with a software change. I have had these strange effects with other similar but not identical PCs and with 3 or 4 display units including old 15″ and 14″ glass monitors, a portable flat screen tv with elongated format, and a more regular shaped flat screen commercial monitor. All manual adjustments possible on the displays have been tried without success. The PCs that have offended are both MSI 64bit, but have performed quite normally under release 13 and 16, but have shown this problem under release 17 and 19. I have 2 other PCs that work normally with these same monitors leading me to think that the particular graphics chipset on these MSI mainboards is to blame.

The install of 19.3 is completely up to date. The background and windows never correspond to the physical monitor boundaries, so parts are missing usually at the top of the display. When a window is located up there I cannot see the 3 minimise maximise and close buttons. Other parts of the display are splashed around the screen apparently randomly, and I can wipe them away using the mouse cursor arrow, but any mouse or application activity soon brings them back again. It´s no use my attempting to show you a screenshot because the screen buffer looks quite correct, although I attach such a shot to emphasise the point.

AR&R does not offer the screen layouts that are possible with the current monitor, only 800×600 and 640×480, all monitors I have tried will work with much more. I searched the forum for clues and located Anticapitalista´s post about changing screen resolution but when I looked in /usr/local/bin I found no file called screen_resolution.sh so was unable to proceed with this suggestion.

I can manage to work with it by wiping away the trash using the mouse arrow so I can see the workspaces and other items, but it is getting on my nerves.

I need to change a fstab entry for get a ntfs partition automounted.
I changed the option noauto to auto. But when I reboot the change is overwritten back by the system.
Is that normal?
How can I made permanent changes to fstab?

Hi calciumsodium,
regarding: Any suggestions on how to modify options on the boot menus to get the antiX-bullseye-a2-runit_
x64 testing to work on my HP 6730 systems? They should be strong enough and have enough RAM to work.
I just used the defaults.

have you tried using bios defaults on those devices, a2 runit “toy experiment” runs fine on anything I have
played with to date. Core 2 duo runs ok with 1 Gig ram, was rarely swapping.
BIOS was the key on a stubborn fujitsu device I was given a couple of weeks ago.

As a first step you could also try booting with failsafe.

I have made previous attempts to use connman, without success. Ceni being simple and functional causes me to avoid connman in any case. However I set up this little PC specifically to resolve the connman problems I have previously experienced, but have not been able to improve on my previous lack of success with connman. Therefore I am requesting analysis of my experience described here, and suggestions as to what may be wrong with my installation.

This PC has a basic install of 19.3 with an AMD 64-bit cpu, low on memory and hard disk but has successfully run 16.4.1 for several years with every satisfaction. Previously I used it with an ethernet connexion, which I now wish to avoid, hence no install update or upgrade has been done yet, and several changes are awaited including to the repositories.

I ran through the antix wifi switch procedure which executed correctly, and entered the wlan name (SSID) and key text as necessary. There appears to be no attempt by connman to act on the data present and search for and make the required connexion.

The wlan adapter is hanging on the end of a short USB cable and has a short antenna, it is a TP-Link TL-WN722N 150mbps unit which I have used with success on previous occasions. I wonder if it is compatible with the kernel and my installation ?

Eu fiz um teste que falta fazer, utilizar o Adaptador Wireless USB Ralink MT7601U no antiX Legacy (“antiX-19-legacy-bet2_386-base.iso”). Eu não sei porque, mas no Legacy este dispositivo está funcionado muito bem e é possível navegar na internet e fazer a atualização normalmente com o “Ceni” gerenciando a conexão de rede.

That is good news. This means that the 4.4 kernel version works properly for this device. You can downgrade the kernel for the other computers to 4.4 and test the Ralink Wifi USB Adapter with that kernel. You can find it in the package installer under Kernel-antiX_64bit_legacy_LTS (or Kernel-antiX_32bit_legacy_LTS on 32 bits systems). If you need to download them offline, you can use the my-offline-repo program and search for antix legacy kernel, I think, so you can later install it offline.
I will have to take a look at the my-offline-repo and update it to account for the new translated descriptions in packageinstaller-pkglist.

If the other rtl8188fu driver works well after installing both dkms driver and firmware, then keep them for 64 bit systems and swap the Ralink one for 32 bit systems. This would be the easiest solution if you can’t compile the rtl8188fu driver for 32 bit systems.

A note related to installing kernels. After installing a new kernel, you need to reboot to select it in the grub menu. If it is a newer kernel, it will be selected automatically, but if it is a lower version number kernel (like downgrading from 4.9 to 4.4), you need to select this “older” kernel from the advanced boot options in the grub menu. It should display all available kernels installed for you to select for boot. Select the desired kernel version, boot into your system, check that everything works as before, and then remove the other newer kernels you don’t want to use. You can use the cli-aptiX command to manage all installed kernels.
Automatically, it will always try to boot the newest available kernels version, so that is why I recommend removing all higher kernel kersions you don’t want or need.

Let me know if you want a more detailed or step by step explanation, in case the above is not too clear.

Xecure,

Os dados a seguir são do outro computador que possui placa-mãe P4M900-M7 FE rev.: 7.0 e vídeo Via TV8237A. Somente com a ISO “antiX-19-legacy-bet2_386-base.iso”, que você construiu, que funcionou bem o antiX neste computador, a resolução está em 1280×1024 é a primeira vez que eu vejo uma resolução tão alta para a ISO Legacy.

Os outros dois adaptadores Wi-Fi USB estão conectados no computador, o ”Connan” e o “Ceni” não detectam que estes dispositivos estão conectados.

Antes de instalar o antiX (com a ISO “antiX-19-legacy-bet2_386-base.iso”), havia pré instalado neste computador um Windows 7, ambos os adaptadores Wi-Fi USB funcionaram muito bem nos testes que eu fiz. Eu abrir o Gerenciador de Dispositivos e consegui identificar o controlador de cada uma das duas peças, ambas funcionavam com o “Realtek RTL8188 FTV Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter”. Eu não sei se esta informação é útil para ajudar a identificar um controlador equivalente para o antiX.

Muito obrigado.

so some details about luks failing to decrypt home+swap partition… :
https://share.void.gr/#Ob8nV_S0tCa8751MHRRPjg

while on maintenance i can manually luksOpen home+swap partition with passphrase or keyfile (/root/keyfile), and then boot continues normally, and i can login into new installed system..

My antiX “fu” is not strong enough for antiX-19 on an old computer

I was excited to try my hand at installing antiX-19 64-bit on an old computer I found at the recycling center. I had already setup MX-19 32-bit and antiX-19 32-bit on an old Pentium 4 with 3 GB of RAM with integrated Intel video. This “new” old computer was one step above my best P4 and I wanted to use antiX as it’s main OS.

This computer has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ dual core processor. It supports 64-bit, whereas my best P4 only supports 32-bit. It had 2 GB RAM but one of the RAM chips was bad. I moved one of the chips from the P4 over to get it back to 2GB, leaving the P4 with 3GB. This Athlon system is a Dell Dimension E521 and has integrated graphics and a few PCIe slots and the 16-bit PCIe slot has a GeForce 6600 NV43 class GPU.

I booted up a newly created LiveUSB with antiX-19.3 64-bit. It booted up good and I proceeded to partition the 250GB SATA hard drive I put in it. I created a / partition and a separate /home partition and another data partition and a swap partition, then I proceeded to install antiX-19 64-bit.

For the most part antiX-19 installed fine and is running well on this old machine. However, I soon found out that my antiX fu is not strong. My intent for this “new” old machine was to replace my old P4 HTPC and attach it to one of my 32” LCD TV’s in my lab, where I often watch more than one sports program at a time, such as now during March Madness where I can watch four games at once. My old P4 HTPC has not been used for this for a few years and was no longer connected to a big screen.

This “new” old machine had enough power to run Kodi and ESPN or NBC Sports, etc. I figured if my old P4 could run Kodi then this new machine could do it better. And I wanted it to be a new project focusing on using antiX. I had MX running on the old P4 and I knew I could set MX up but I wanted to use antiX since I knew it would be more of a challenge.

I ran into three or four problems using this machine, and a couple of them have still not been resolved. My antiX fu has been revealed as weak. But thanks to the forum it is getting a little stronger with this project.

First, I could not understand how to properly set up multiple screens in antiX. I did know that I could use arandr to set the resolutions and orientation of the screens. I had done this many times before with single screens. With a little bit of googling I was able to set the screens in my startup files. I use IceWM so I used the IceWM startup file for my xrandr statement. It works. But the login manager and the wallpapers were not set correctly.

I could not see the login entry dialog at all. It seems it was placed somewhere in the middle of my multi monitor setup and was invisible. I could type my username and password blindly and get into my desktop. But how do I get the login screen to show? I got some help in the forum and found out I had to edit a configuration file to orient the slim login to a place where it would show up. That config file is at /usr/share/slim/themes/antiX/slim.theme. I edited the “input_panel_x” and “input_panel_y” to move the sign in box to the upper left of the screen. [Note: the actual file to edit is dependent on the choice of theme. For instance: /usr/share/slim/themes/DarkCity/slim.theme]

Next, I could not figure out how to set two different wallpapers, each on one of the two monitors. There is a nice wallpaper tool in antiX and it works great for a single wall paper. But I wanted two wallpapers. As it turned out antiX does not support this out of the box. I had to learn how to use “feh” to set up the two wallpapers and I had to turn off any default “desktop manager” so as to not interfere with feh. Again, the forum members showed me that I had to turn off SpaceFM as the desktop manager and use only the “icewm” desktop. Once I did this I had my two separate wallpapers.

But a side effect of running “icewm” was that ROX became the default file manager. I had to edit another config file to allow SpaceFM as my default file manager. I ended up editing the file ~/.desktop-session/desktop-defaults.conf and changed OVERRIDE_SESSION_FM= to “true”. Then I edited /usr/share/applications/antix/desktop-defaults-follow-fm.desktop and commented out the “Exec=” line and added my own “Exec=spacefm” line. I restarted the session and now when I click on the “File Manager” item I get SpaceFM.

Before I changed to “icewm” the Conky was not fully transparent. The conky was readable but the background was from another part of the image. Once I switched to “icewm” only and was using “feh” as my wallpaper manager, the Conky was now properly transparent. Ahh, my antiX fu was improving – but still not strong.

Here’s the outline of steps needed to set two wallpapers, one each on two monitors, and correct the Conky transparency at the same time:
1. Switch your desktop away from “space” or “ROX” (In my case I chose “icewm”. I was using space-icewm). Space and ROX desktop managers conflict with the “feh” program that is used to set the multiple wallpapers. See below.
2. Comment out the line in /usr/local/bin/desktop-session that invokes the “desktop-session-wallpaper” script.
3. Run feh –bg-fill /path/to/wallpaper#1 /path/to/wallpaper#2. This will create a ~/.fehbg file.
4. Add ~/.fehbg & to your desktop startup file. I used ~/.icewm/startup

So, now my antiX fu is good enough to setup multiple monitors on antiX-19. But things did not go well when I tried to setup Kodi.

When I installed Kodi 18.9 from the Debian Multimedia repo and started it up the system crashed. It completely locked up with a black screen and I had to power down. When I restarted I had to repair the file system before I could boot. I used my Live USB and scanned and repaired the file system then rebooted again into antiX-19. I purged Kodi-18.9 and reinstalled Kodi-17.6 from the default repos. Kodi 17.6 works. But I wanted to have Kodi-18.9. Time for some stronger antiX fu. I gave it a try but my antiX fu did not turn out to be strong enough.

I am assuming that Kodi 18 may not crash if I could install the proprietary nvidia drivers for my GPU. I soon learned that antiX 19, being based on Buster, would not support the legacy nvidia driver I needed. I did some reading and found out that the drivers are supported in Stretch. So, I decided to install antiX-17.4 64-bit and try to install the legacy nvidia drivers.

I did get the legacy nvidia drivers installed in antiX-17.4. But when I tried to install Kodi 18.9 I could not find it in any repos for antiX-17. I downloaded a .deb file for Kodi 18.5 from the MX-17 repo. After the install it only started up 17.6. I purged Kodi again and tried to install Kodi 18.5 by adding the MX-17 testrepo to my source file. But it won’t install and gives me a report that it is missing dependencies.

As of now, I have been unsuccessful in getting Kodi 18 to work in antiX-17 or antiX-19. Kodi 17.6 is working. I am hopeful that I may yet learn how to install Kodi 18 and fix the dependencies. But for now, my antiX fu is not strong.

BTW, when I suggested swapping chips I was referring to the Memory chips. It says you have 2 gb of memory, if it is all on one chip and you are getting memory errors, I would just reseat it (be sure to find instructions and use a grounding strap).

[Member Lluga]

well I’ll try to make a point here and post some screenshots

If my suspects are correct, the Issue is basically solved. And after years of problems with this machine believe me.
First I tried to run the command you said me to run, but don’t know why when it asks me the password I simply cannot write it to the Terminal.
Maybe I have to run the Terminal as administrator or whatever.
Then I applied the suggestion 56192, that after some Issues in the meanwhile, I suspect it actually worked.
As a matter of fact the machine doesn’t freeze anymore when trying to do sensitive tasks like updating or opening several Firefox pages at the same time. The Memory test I still haven’t perform it to the end at this phase, but I think the machine still have difficulties to perform it, from the last attempt result.
The Keyboards Issue is also solved
So I’m very grateful to you and very happy !

Nevertheless like many technical things it doesn’t end here

Some Issues that I still would like to solve/understand are :

So it’s probably not an Hardware Issue. But anyway if it was, how should I swap out the Chips ? And are we talking about Intel 8259A IRQ Chip or which one ? The HDD I can easy substitute.
How do I tape the password to the command line as asked ?
I can’t find any Diagnostic Tool at My BIOS ?! weird. Can I do it from the OS environment ?
How do I update my BIOS ?

Thanks a lot once more and for reply

Thanks for good news, anticapitalista, will start to test tomorrow.
If this alpha is any where near as stable as the original Bullseye test release it will become new daily experiment.

the first alpha is more stable and useful than many final releases I have experienced (no names but major distros) :-).

I agree; I have had excellent results with the Alpha 1 build; I just downloaded the Alpha 2 FULL runit build. I have not yet installed it, but so far, it is working.
More info once I have more experience with it. So far, no defects to report during testing with this 64-bit Dell Inspiron 5558 portable system.
