In reply to: Automatic brightness RESOLVED
taifun
I have not installed anything like Redshift, or at least anything that i am aware of.
I have not tried to change the kernel.
The thing is that before antix i had windows and i have never seen it changing brightness like that. The problem appeared just when i changed to antix.
It does change the brightness if i use any media player like SMPlayer, and also in the browser on Netflix.
The change in brightness is like a transition, sometimes it changes more frequently sometimes less frequently. Maybe after one minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes or not at all.
The monitor i have is a LG 19EN33S. I will try with with a TV when i will have the chance. Until then here is the output of that command:inxi -Fxz System: Host: antix1 Kernel: 4.9.212-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 Desktop: IceWM 1.8.3 Distro: antiX-19.2_x64-full Hannie Schaft 27 March 2020 base: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: ASRock model: 760GM-GS3 serial: <filter> BIOS: American Megatrends v: P1.20 date: 03/28/2012 CPU: Topology: Triple Core model: AMD Athlon II X3 450 bits: 64 type: MCP arch: K10 rev: 3 L2 cache: 1536 KiB flags: lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 sse4a svm bogomips: 19238 Speed: 800 MHz min/max: 800/3200 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 2000 2: 2000 3: 800 Graphics: Device-1: AMD RS780L [Radeon 3000] vendor: ASRock driver: radeon v: kernel bus ID: 01:05.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: ati,radeon unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1366x768~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: AMD RS780 (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.9.212-antix.1-amd64-smp LLVM 7.0.1) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.3.6 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: AMD SBx00 Azalia vendor: ASRock driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:14.2 Sound Server: ALSA v: k4.9.212-antix.1-amd64-smp Network: Device-1: Realtek RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver: 8139too v: 0.9.28 port: e800 bus ID: 02:05.0 IF: eth0 state: unknown speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter> Drives: Local Storage: total: 232.89 GiB used: 127.24 GiB (54.6%) ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: Samsung model: HD253GJ size: 232.89 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 38.01 GiB used: 26.61 GiB (70.0%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda1 ID-2: swap-1 size: 200.0 MiB used: 268 KiB (0.1%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sda3 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 28.5 C mobo: N/A Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A Info: Processes: 163 Uptime: 40m Memory: 3.37 GiB used: 1.24 GiB (36.7%) Init: SysVinit runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 8.3.0 Shell: bash v: 5.0.3 inxi: 3.0.36In reply to: Hello and thanks, antiX community!

Keeping processes in memory is extremely important to make a system responsive. Web-based processes tend to consume a lot of memory.
One of my systems has 8 GB of RAM and I have never seen it swap. I tend to keep only what I am actively working on loaded; this also helps performance because the disk and the CPU are over a decade old.
I do have plenty of memory, disk space and multiple processors and that helps the aging hardware still perform acceptably. It’s never blazing fast but it is able to handle my routine tasks.

@voider – sorry for the late welcome!
For you, and for any other newbies with use computers with less than 1 Gig of RAM, here are some tips:If you run antiX on a 512Mb machine and use it for web browsing, I would advise you to try installing “badwolf” browser (you can install it with “sudo apt install badwolf”)- it’s very basic, but runs on very low RAM, and if you turn on the “JS” (Java Script) button, you can browse even modern websites and usually avoid using your Swapfile (that slows the system down). For viewing Youtube videos, use Smtube, available out of the box. For e-mail, avoid web-mail, and use the very lean Claws e-mail client.
For viewing videos, if you experience any slow down with higher resolution videos, use MPV video player and search on-line on how to optimize your video playback for your own system (my crappy old single core netbook, with 1 Gig of RAM and not much faster that your computer, can play full HD videos in a mostly fluid way. Anything below that plays incredibly well)
For listening to music, reading PDF’s, viewing images, accessing e-mail, etc, the default antiX apps work wonders even in single core machines with less than 1G of RAM, but usability for common tasks like basic web browsing is very limited on systems with less than 512Mb – not even antiX can perform those miracles 🙂
For reading e-books (in epub format, etc) you can install Calibre (that’s huge and also manages e-books) or try using fbreader. There’s even epub readers that work in your terminal (like https://github.com/wustho/epr)!
For writing- LibreOffice Writer works great, but it can be slow to start and take a bit of RAM… You can try installing FreeOffice (it looks like a MS Word clone, has great file compatibility and runs on way less than 100 Mb of RAM, but I’m not sure if it’s available for 32 bits) or (for simple texts) Abiword (that’s very light but not very feature rich and doesn’t have very good file compatibility)

It looks like something is wrong.
There should have been no change to /dev/sda1
/dev/sda2 is an extended partition, which should include a larger sized /dev/sda5, & then the two new partitions, /dev/sda6 2GB swap & /dev/sda7 as your Linux system.sda1 should be 24.41GB with 20.36GB used – as per your original screenshot.
sda2 is still your extended partition of 124.63GB which should now include a larger sized /dev/sda5 (from 6.47GB to approx 6.85GB) – plus your two new partitions for swap & Linux.

Resulting gparted after deleting the two lost partitions and following fatmac’s advice:
Ignore the sizing, as I created this on a VM. The only important thing is to understand how the final partition table will look like.
First transfere all the data from the two partitions before deleting them, or you won’t be able to recover them. You will probably have to boot to XP and move the data from there to the other data partition.About how to select partitions during installation:
As you see, home and boot will install in root, swap in the new swap partition created, and root will correspond to the new partition created.antiX Live system enthusiast.

As has been suggested on the other thread, move your data, from /dev/sda6 & /dev/sda7 into /dev/sda5, then delete /dev/sda6 & /dev/sda7, then create your Linux partitions as /dev/sda6 2GB swap & the rest as /dev/sda7 for your Linux installation.
one doubt
is /dev/sda6 & /dev/sda7 & /dev/sda5, a sub partition of dev/sda2
so would it be fine to create your Linux partitions as /dev/sda6 2GB swap & the rest as /dev/sda7 for your Linux installation.
or did you mean to make it separatelyand what about a partion for /boot
is it requiredThen, from the installer, select the ext4 partition for root, home inside root, boot inside root, and the 2GB swap partition you created become the main swap partition.
pls explain this , @Xecure

You have (most probably) an ms-dos partition table. You have 1 primary partition (24 GBs) that contains your windows XP installation, and an extended partition (with 3 logical data partitions inside).
I recommend you boot into XP and move all the data inside the last two logical partitions (the 40 and 45 GB partitions containing only 177 and 202 MBs of data) to the other logical data partition (39 GB containing 3.5 Gbs of data). Once you do that, from Gparted in antiX live, remove the two (now empty) logical partitions and use the extra space to create 1 primary partition (ext4) to house antiX Linux system and a 2GB swap partiton (swap type).
Before applying the changes, you can share a screenshot of your changes in gparted and we can comment on it.Then, from the installer, select the ext4 partition for root, home inside root, boot inside root, and the 2GB swap partition you created become the main swap partition.

Don’t edit too much a post or the antispam software in the forum will block it.
Anyway, until a mod can recover it, this is your situation:

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.voider
Hello, antiX community. I just wanted to say thank you for your awesome distro, I see you put a lot of effort on it and it pays! I have a very old Acer Travelmate 290 (Intel M, 1 core @ 1,4 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM) which still barely worked, but obviously it can’t run a proprietary, up to date SO and the default, preinstalled one lost support a while ago… So I tried antiX, and it goes just fine! It can now surf the web, play music and videos, write text, read PDFs and all the usual stuff a modern machine can do (with the obvious limitations), and it does all of that reasonably fast and under the memory limit before swap, with an up-to-date core system and apps! I just wrote a small review with some of my experience (in Spanish) to share some of my early impressions. Once again, thank you and keep on with your awesome distro!

ust wondering if it could be taken a step further, to also install programs that one installs after installing the main system.
Do you mean to give a list of packages and get the program to search for dependencies and download them all for latter installation? I think it is doable. I will need to create a separate button inside Download packages to select “download from list”, and let you select a file with packagenames to download and create a .repo file for easy install later.
I will have a look at this tonight.[/quote]
Yes just like the offline updater, have the packagers that you normal install after installation of the system, stored so they can be installed offline.
And even keep them updated just by checking for updates for the stored packages.Like having a script to install a package or packagers. Like below as an idea but from a stored off line repo.. Sorry it is a big scrpt.

An unamed linux distro f–d everything up and xp was no more, antix was the only distro that took one look up her skirt and said “I’ve got just the thing for you” and here we are. 19.2 was great until I started installing updates. Well it’s doing it again. I took the advice and started clean with a completely new install of 19.2 (finding 19.2 to download is another story) Downloaded on another machine running MX19.2, md5 and live usb maker, installed on this machine even installed Grub during the installation, wow never done that before, made a couple of small adjustments changed the wallpaper for a black screen, shrunk the toolbar, set the keyboard and time and installed XDM download manager and extension for firefox that’s it. Ran updater and installed 233 updates rebooted, failed to boot. Ran live usb Boot Repair, all good, decided I would create a snapshot before I did anything else. Ran snapshot from the menu so nothing else was running, snapshot created successfully BUT having learnt my lesson from last time I checked the md5sum that had just been created, FAILED. I reinstalled iso_template and ISO Snapshot, deleted the Snapshot just created and tried again. First sign of madness, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. md5sum failed again. I did notice that within the snapshot creation text there was a small thing, about 0.02% is this normal #xorriso : UPDATE : 99.98% done#. I know how much you tech guys love your CLI
so I ran live usb maker from the cli command centre if nothing else it showed the problem lay in the linuxfs file.
I don’t get out much so sorry if this was overly long, anyone got a clue what is going on or should I just do a clean install and ignore the bloody updates?$ ls snapshot-19_2_updates301020.iso snapshot-19_2_updates301020.iso.sha512 snapshot-19_2_updates301020.iso.md5 dee@dee:/home/snapshot $ md5sum -c snapshot-19_2_updates301020.iso.md5 snapshot-19_2_updates301020.iso: FAILED md5sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match I reinstalled iso_template & snapshot for good measure, deleted this snapshot and ran snapshot again. xorriso : UPDATE : 99.98% done IS THIS RIGHT 99.98% ISO image produced: 892385 sectors Written to medium : 892385 sectors at LBA 0 Writing to 'stdio:/home/snapshot/snapshot-20201030_1148.iso' completed successfully. isohybrid: Warning: more than 1024 cylinders: 1743 isohybrid: Not all BIOSes will be able to boot this device MX Snapshot completed sucessfully!

here, we had 2 machines with that CPU running antiX ~~ one had 2GB 800MHz RAM, the other had 1GB 667MHz RAM. linux 3.10 kernel as I recall. Increasing the amount of memory did not provide a noticeable benefit. Swapping in higher frequency memory _did_ provide a noticeable (but not dramatic) benefit.
I have seen similar experiences more than once and the general rule of thumb when resources are starting to decrease is to add memory (unless you run out of disk space). That said, of course if all resources are tight, improving all of them can help performance, but I agree with your observation; adding memory is more likely to produce an immediately obvious change at the least incremental cost and modification.

Just yesterday a guy uploaded a youtube video of him using antiX linux 19 on a Pentium 4 with 500MBs of RAM and he used it to record, edit and upload the video (you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG3gQ7BoEfk).
His main computer broke and he had to keep working. The only computer he had available was that Pentium 4 computer, so he used it until he could get new computer replacements.Your computer is much better than his, and you don’t need to edit video, so you should be able to have a positive antiX experience.
There are many web browsers you can use. Midory, palemoon, netsurf, the recently updated badwolf, etc.
See if antiX 19.3 boots from DVD or from USB on your computer. If it does, install antiX on a new partition, create a 2 GB swap partition, and test the recommended browsers and see how is your experience. You don’t need to remove Windows XP, so there is no risk there.
