https://askubuntu.com/questions/6769/hibernate-and-resume-from-a-swap-file
In the ubuntu one, look under the heading “Hibernate with Swap file using uswusp” and note that at the end they rebuild the initramfs, then test it by running s2disk
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo s2disk

I installed the uswsusp package on the desktop system.
I got save to swapfile working by following the instructions for setting up the swapfile at the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uswsusp#Standalone
I am using /swapfile instead of a swap partition.
Running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure uswsuspand answering the questions got the /etc/uswsusp.conf created.The
sudo s2bothsaves to disk.But something is still missing. Pulling the power cord on the desktop in that suspended state still results in a cold boot when power is re-applied.
I do not know how to check how the initramfs built was built.
The filenames in the archlinux.org link do not work on anti-x linux.
It appears that there needs to be something in the initramfs that can restore the image saved in the swapfile.

Do the affected systems have sufficient swap space available?
uswsusp
might be useful (offhand I’m unsure whether it is pre-installed) (ummmm, provided by “pm-utils” package)

Hibernation won’t work with all PC’s and it can be tricky to get it all configured correctly even on machines that it works on. If you aren’t a Linux guru, the best bet is to install a power manager. XFCE Power Manager would be my first choice. I hope you created a swap partition at least 1.5 times the size of memory. If not, you either need to reinstall or add one, or use a swap file. I have added one before, but its a lot of work. I have one machine I’ve never been able to get it to work on. I can get it to hibernate, but never can get it to come back up.
Don’t try any systemd related methods on antiX. That will fail for sure.
There is also a manual way to do it. Obviously you need to be careful testing this… Try this from a terminal, suspend first, and see if you can get it to come back up. Then try hibernate. I have never had much luck with the hybrid one.
sudo /usr/bin/pm-suspend
sudo /usr/bin/pm-hibernate
PS: on this machine I was able to suspend and resume, but if the battery dies, it will be lost. I was not able to hibernate. It started trying to save the image but hung up while trying to save it. I’ve found some machines need a different kernel, or programs. It hit or miss, and there are places that explain how to diagnose it, but sometimes I just haven’t been able to get it to work. To survive a power down situation, you need to hibernate the system before the power is gone. The hybrid solution creates the hibernation data, but then suspends. If the power dies, then you resume from the hibernated drive, and if not, you wake up from the suspended system. Many times things like Wifi and graphics have problems.

Hello!
I’ve been using antiX since the release of 19.3, mainly to power an old Asus EEEpc 1015bx netbook, anno 2012. Swapped out the HDD with a SSD and its better than new. I was impressed by how efficient antiX is as an OS and now use it on my main desktop as well, tripple-booted with Win10 (only used with a few specialty programs required for work) and Mint xfce (my gateway to Linux back in 2014). Since installing antiX I rarely boot into Mint.
Anyways, just wanted to pay tribute to the devs! Great work! Keep it up!

You need at least 256 MB RAM, and the installer needs a minimum 2.7 GB hard disk size.vs
http://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/docs-antiX-19/FAQ/index.html#_system_requirements
So what are the minimum and suggested requirements to run antiX?
antiX should run on most computers, ranging from 192MB old PII systems with pre-configured 128MB swap to the latest powerful boxes.
antiX-core and antiX-net will run with 128MB RAM plus swap, but don’t expect miracles!
192MB RAM is the recommended minimum for antiX. 256MB RAM and above is preferred especially for antiX-full.
antiX-full needs a 5GB minimum hard disk size. antiX-base needs 3GB and antiX-core needs 1GB. antiX-net needs 0.7GB.vs

sudo touch /usr/local/share/excludes/iso-snapshot-exclude.list
ouch.
OMG, no that wouldn’t lead to a happy ending…There are things that need to be excluded from the snapshot if you want the final iso to boot on other systems.
… and, in the absence of a suitable exclusions list, the operation would never reach completion, period. Instead, endless recursion would result, attempting to read (and create squashed copies of) “virtual” files from the vfs directories, e.g. /sys/ and /proc/ …ultimately leading to “kernel panic” once the recursive process has fully exhaused all available (memory, swap) resources.

OK, OK, I understand that you were helping. And I appreciate it! I was merely trying to find a way to make these interaction more efficient, simply because running some command line locally in our computer would take seconds per command, and then we could read the output, and fire up another command within half a minute, …, rinse and repeat. That sounds faster than each iteration would take hours of asynchronized waiting time in forum, with some iteration would even be used to rule out other possibility. (In particular, my first post contained 2 “cat” output, the “cat hello.sh” contains only one line, hinting that I did not omit anything i.e. that script contains no shebang, in contrary to the “cat /etc/fstab” which I used “…” to omit some lines.)
Is this a correct summary assessment?
When interacting with the Live-usb-storage mountpoint, can exec.
When interacting with the Live-usb-storage directory, pathed under /live/boot-dev mountpoint, cannot exec.Perhaps it is not about mountpoint vs directory. Let me show you the following uncensored output, plus some “<–” comments.
demo@antix1:~ (master)$ mount | grep -i live-usb /dev/sda7 on /root/Live-usb-storage type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered) <-- sda7 is the frugal partition, but it is not mount on /root/Live-usb-storage /dev/sda7 on /home/demo/Live-usb-storage type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered) <-- sda7 is the frugal partition, and yes, this is its mount point /dev/sdb1 on /media/Live-usb type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,data=ordered) <-- sdb1 is the main partition on my Live USB, turns out it is mounted as noexec demo@antix1:~ (master)$ cp /media/Live-usb/Live-usb-storage/demo/hello.sh ~/Live-usb-storage/ <-- Again, this is that test script containing only one line "echo hello" demo@antix1:~ (master)$ ~/Live-usb-storage/hello.sh hello demo@antix1:~ (master)$ /media/Live-usb/Live-usb-storage/demo/hello.sh -bash: /media/Live-usb/Live-usb-storage/demo/hello.sh: Permission deniedyou said: I don’t wanna workaround.
In response (perhaps wrongly) I attempted to lead you through the output of a series of commands which would bring you to the conclusion that a remount may not be a workaround, but a necessity.In my first post, I was saying I already know the workaround and that’s fine, but I’m trying to understand whether it was controlled by a hidden setting in somewhere. If there is no such “flip switch”, then so be it.
All the antiX systems I locally support and maintain have been “diskless” since back around 2019. Any internal drives, if present, are typically uncabled.
Perhaps we can spend these forum interaction on more fruitful topics, such as how you manage your diskless system. 🙂 Feel free to start a new thread to share your tips and tricks on using diskless system. Do your machines have plenty of RAM? I used to do diskless, they worked well until you reach a point that your system is out of memory, and then it would typically halt without any prior warning. So, nowadays I tend to still hook up a small hard drive, to be used as a swap, if nothing else.

Is it a Rox pinboard?
It is “xlunch”
http://xlunch.org/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-eltc1_HKU
https://github.com/Tomas-M/xlunchrecently discussed it here in antixforum when someone asked about limiting access to wm desktop menu,
toward creating a curated, kiosk-like environment for a 6yr old child
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/antix-19-3-i386-base/#post-46788usage: xlunch [options] xlunch is a program launcher/option selector similar to dmenu or rofi. By default it launches in full-screen mode and terminates after a selection is made, it is also possible to close xlunch by pressing Esc or the right mouse button. Some options changes this behaviour, the most notable being the desktop mode switch: -d, --desktop Desktop mode, always keep the launcher at background(behind other windows), and ignore ESC and right mouse click. Combined with --dontquit xlunch never exits (behaviour of --desktop from previous versions). Functional options: --config [file] Reads configuration options from a file. The options are the same as the long options specified here. Options that take a value must have a colon (':') before it's option. It is also possible to pass the entries along with the configuration file by using "entries:" followed by a newline and the regular contents of an input file -v, --version Returns the version of xlunch -H, --help Shows this help message --name POSIX-esque way to specify the first part of WM_CLASS (default: environment variable RESOURCE_NAME or argv[0]) -N, --notitle Do not display any titles under/around icons -n, --noprompt Hides the prompt, only allowing selection by icon -o, --outputonly Do not run the selected entry, only output it to stdout -S, --selectonly Only allow an actual entry and not free-typed commands. Nice for scripting. -i, --input [file] File to read entries from, defaults to stdin if data is available otherwise it reads from $HOME/.config/xlunch/entries.dsv or /etc/xlunch/entries.dsv -m, --multiple Allow multiple instances running -t, --voidclickterminate Clicking anywhere that's not an entry terminates xlunch, practical for touch screens. --focuslostterminate When the window loses focus xlunch will quit, practical for menus -q, --dontquit When an option is selected, don't close xlunch. Combined with --desktop xlunch never exits (behaviour of --desktop from previous versions). -R, --reverse All entries in xlunch as reversly ordered. -W, --windowed Start in windowed mode --title Specifies the title to put on the window when running in windowed mode. -M, --clearmemory Set the memory of each entry to null before exiting. Used for passing sensitive information through xlunch. -U, --shortcuts [shortcuts] Sets shortcuts for the entries, 'shortcuts' is a string of UTF-8 characters to use sequentially for the entries provided. -A, --button [button] Adds a button to the window. The argument "button" is a semicolon-separated list on the form "<icon>;<highlight icon>;<x>,<y>;<command>" If x or y is negative positioning is relative to the other side of the screen. --noscroll Disable scroll in xlunch. Ignore entries that can't fit the screen. Multi monitor setup: xlunch cannot detect your output monitors, it sees your monitors as a big single screen. You can customize this manually by setting windowed mode and providing the top/left coordinates and width/height of your monitor screen which effectively positions xlunch on the desired monitor. Use the following options: -x, --xposition The x coordinate of the launcher window Use negative number to align from right -y, --yposition The y coordinate of the launcher window Use negative number to align from bottom -w, --width The width of the launcher window -h, --height The height of the launcher window Style options: -p, --prompt [text] The prompt asking for input (default: "Run: ") -f, --font [name] Font name including size after slash (default: "OpenSans-Regular/10" and "DejaVuSans/10") -F, --promptfont [name] Font to use for the prompt (default: same as --font) -G, --rootwindowbackground Use root windows background image -g, --background [file] Image to set as background (jpg/png). NOTE: the background color will be drawn over this image so use a fully transparent background color if the image should be drawn as-is. --bgfill Makes the background keep aspect ratio while stretching -L, --highlight [file] Image set as highlighting under selected icon (jpg/png) -I, --iconpadding Padding around icons (default: 10) --iconvpadding Vertical padding around icons (default: same as iconpadding) -T, --textpadding Padding around entry titles (default: 10) -c, --columns Number of columns to show (without this the max amount possible is used) -r, --rows Numbers of rows to show (without this the max amount possible is used) -b, --border Size of the border around the icons and prompt (default: 1/10th of screen width) This can also be set to 'auto' in order to automatically calculate a border taking into account the margin settings and the configured columns and rows. You can also specify border in terms of percentage of screen width by appending a % sign to the value -B, --sideborder Size of the border on the sides, if this is used --border will be only top and bottom. Similarily this can be set to 'auto' or a percentage but then only side borders are calculated --borderratio The ratio of the border to apply above the content. 0 is no top border, only bottom. 100 is only top border, no bottom --sideborderratio The ratio of the side border to apply to the left of the content. 0 is no left border, only right. 100 is only left border, no right -C, --center Center entries when there are fewer entries on a row than the maximum -P, --promptspacing Distance between the prompt and the icons (default: 48) -s, --iconsize Size of the icons (default: 48) -a, --textafter Draw the title to the right of the icon instead of below, this option automatically sets --columns to 1 but this can be overridden. -O, --textotherside Draw the text on the other side of the icon from where it is normally drawn. -u, --upsidedown Draw the prompt on the bottom and have icons sort from bottom to top. -X, --paddingswap Icon padding and text padding swaps order around text. -l, --leastmargin Adds a margin to the calculation of application sizes. -V, --leastvmargin Adds a vertical margin to the calculation of application sizes. -e, --hidemissing Hide entries with missing or broken icon images --tc, --textcolor Color to use for the text on the format rrggbbaa (default: ffffffff) --pc, --promptcolor Color to use for the prompt text (default: ffffffff) --bc, --backgroundcolor Color to use for the background (default: 2e3440ff) NOTE: transparent background color requires a compositor --sc, --shadowcolor Color to use for text shadows (default: 00000030) --hc, --highlightcolor Color to use for the highlight box (default: ffffff32) --scrollbarcolor Color to use for the scrollbar (default: ffffff3c) --scrollindicatorcolor Color to use for the scrollbar indicator (default: ffffff70)December 15, 2020 at 5:26 pm #47496In reply to: Graphics card is not recognized correctly

Here are my notes on how to clear most of the memory buffer/cache and how to clear swap memory (run these commands as root):
Clear page memory –
sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cachesNot recommended – can cause data loss – clear dentries (data structure that represents a directory) and inodes (data structure that represents a file) –
sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cachesClear swap –
swapoff -a && swapon -aAnyone have any thoughts? I’ve used commands #1 and #3 for a couple years, haven’t had any trouble, and occasionally use command #2. I’d like to know if anyone has a thought on how these commands could be improved, or if you feel they are incorrect or if they are simply a waste of time for any reason.

First make sure there is enough RAM.
If you are using standard dynamic persistence, the changes (persistence file) are being saved in RAM. If apart from that you are loading the whole OS in RAM, you may be find tha, as some point your system will be even slower because RAM is full and it is using swap.If you are sure there is enough RAM, there are 2 different ways to add the toram option.
1. From the Live Boot screen.
A.If running in Legacy Bios, the screen will look like this:

The F4 menu will give you the toram option. Once selected, you can save the boot parameters with the F8 “Save” menu.
B. If running on UEFI systems, you need to write the boot parameter inside your Custom boot option. Move the selection to the Custom menu entry, hit the ‘e’ key and edit the line containing the boot parameters (third line). You need to add toram and menus=s
It could look similar to:
linux /antiX/vmlinuz quiet splash=v persist_root toram menus=s
When ready, hit F10 key and it will ask you if you want to save the boot changes. Select the “yes” option.2. From inside the running antiX system.
Depending on if UEFI or Legacy Bios boot, you need to edit (with root privileges)
Legacy Bios: /live/boot-dev/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg and /live/boot-dev/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg (and add the boot parameters there)
UEFI: /live/boot-dev/boot/grub/grub.cfg (and add the boot parameters to the Custom entry)More info in:

I installed antiX 19.3 (full–32 bit) on my Dell Latitude D610 laptop. It appears to be working fine.
The internet works well with the ethernet cable.
However, I cannot get the wireless to work with neither Connman nor Ceni (it previously automatically worked with antiX 17).
When I do the switch to Connman, I get a message that “no WLAN entries found in etc/network/interfaces”
Connmand gui only show the wired ethernet–no wireless.

Thanks, Xecure and caprea for your help!
Tried running roxterm after following directions, it shows up in menu, but does not open.
I tried opening it from terminal, but no go, as before…..
I did get results from running inxi command as follows:

Topic: Greetings from Sweden
Hello!
I’ve been using antiX since the release of 19.3, mainly to power an old Asus EEEpc 1015bx netbook, anno 2012. Swapped out the HDD with a SSD and its better than new. I was impressed by how efficient antiX is as an OS and now use it on my main desktop as well, tripple-booted with Win10 (only used with a few specialty programs required for work) and Mint xfce (my gateway to Linux back in 2014). Since installing antiX I rarely boot into Mint.
Anyways, just wanted to pay tribute to the devs! Great work! Keep it up!
Here are my notes on how to clear most of the memory buffer/cache and how to clear swap memory (run these commands as root):
Clear page memory –
sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cachesNot recommended – can cause data loss – clear dentries (data structure that represents a directory) and inodes (data structure that represents a file) –
sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cachesClear swap –
swapoff -a && swapon -aAnyone have any thoughts? I’ve used commands #1 and #3 for a couple years, haven’t had any trouble, and occasionally use command #2. I’d like to know if anyone has a thought on how these commands could be improved, or if you feel they are incorrect or if they are simply a waste of time for any reason.
I installed antiX 19.3 (full–32 bit) on my Dell Latitude D610 laptop. It appears to be working fine.
The internet works well with the ethernet cable.
However, I cannot get the wireless to work with neither Connman nor Ceni (it previously automatically worked with antiX 17).
When I do the switch to Connman, I get a message that “no WLAN entries found in etc/network/interfaces”
Connmand gui only show the wired ethernet–no wireless.
rfkill list shows “wireless LAN is hard blocked”Below is inxi -F:
