UPDATE: Since mroot’s hint above, I’ve been experimenting zswap with its default setup (i.e. up to 20% of ram being used for zswap, using lzo compression). Due to the lack of quantitative approach to monitor how a zswap setup performs, I do not have a scientific way to judge how much (or little) it helps. Some commenters – who presumably had much more ram available – in those external links referenced by mroot’s zswap post hinted some placebo effect. LOL. In my case, it seems the thrashing would still happen BUT not as bad as before: my computer would slow down noticeably but not halt completely, so I’ve been able to at least switch to my roxterm, run htop, find and kill the offending firefox-esr process, thus bring my computer back to normal without needing a hard reboot. I did that several times today already, so that alone seems like an improvement. Presumably, the cpu busy on compressing and decompressing, is relatively more responsive than a cpu halt for I/O.

Yet another UPDATE: my same laptop ran stably for last 38 days of using the following settings:

* (Up to) 40% of my 2 GB ram being used for zswap, using the default lzo compression (Couldn’t get lz4 to work from liveUSB)
* Use 3 GB swap file (Perhaps 2 GB would also be enough, because frequent htop shows consistent around 1GB occupation based on my usage.)

In my workload, I visited some resource-heavy websites frequently. My 2 GB RAM machine would noticeably slow down when the memory consumption shown in htop goes above 1.7-ish GB (I don’t know why that particular number). But it never completely halted in last 38 days. And it can always recover when I close some resource-heavy tabs (using the OneTab plugin for Firefox). So, it is confident to say, zswap+swap helps!

The conclusion:

* zswap + swap is better than no swap at all, especially on low memory machines.
* zswap + swap is technically optional if you happen to have plenty of RAM. A swap-less setup will remain blazing fast until it suddenly passes the no-return point. So, choose wisely.

A third one that shows what was going on for a little while – Warren Woodford, the MEPIS founder, switched from Debian to Ubuntu repositories for a while, hoping to get easy to use, stable software. After a while with that “experiment, MEPIS – and antiX along with it, went back to using Debian software. (I used both, and didn’t have any problems with it, but this small window of time were among the “most unstable” of the MEPIS and antiX history that I can think of or remember):

antiX forum now available.

The one at MepisLovers is still open.

05 September 2007

If you have recently downloaded antiX-M7-beta2 and you want to install some kde app, you will find you cannot due to dependency problems. This is because antiX temporarily got ahead with gcc and cpp from Debian testing.

Easiest solution and an upgrade: Install aptitude from synaptic or

apt-get install aptitude (it will also upgrade apt and synaptic)

then

aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
and agree to the first solution offerred.

You will then have a fully dist-upgraded antiX (to Mepis beta3) and you will be able to install kde apps.

Alternatively, after installing aptitude,

aptitude update
aptitude install libavahi-qt3-1
Or

aptitude update
aptitude install libssp0
You will not need to use (I hope) aptitude again.

Edit: It isn’t really a bug as such, but a feature to exclude kde 🙂

04 September 2007 antiX-M7-beta2 also now available from the MEPIS mirrors.

eg: download antiX-M7-beta2 here

For a list of changes from antiX-Spartacus and antiX-M7.

30 August 2007. antiX-M7-beta2 is available for testing.

This version has a few more applications installed, has been dist-upgraded to include all the recent changes in Debian Etch and Mepis7-beta2. A few extra wallpapers have been added and some files removed. antiX-M7-beta2 is 299MB.

At the moment get it from here: http://tomlinux.ca/testing using the following passwords.

user=antiXtester password=fluxbox

md5sum: f2b6466da0ac8ba17a4e282262074158

For those with antiX-M7-beta1.iso, you can use xdelta to add the patch_beta1-beta2.delta http://tomlinux.ca/testing/patch_beta1-beta2.delta It is 82MB.

Post comments, queries antiX forum on MepisLovers.

22 August 2007. antiX-M7-beta1 is available for testing.

This version is pretty rusty, has similar issues as Mepis7-beta1, but I’d like people to test it out and let me know what they think.

It is not yet available on the Mepis mirrors, I need some feedback before it gets uploaded.

antiX-M7-beta1 is about 280MB and is best installed to hard-disk, rather than used as a livecd (at the moment). Minimum 128MB RAM is recommended, though installed it should work well with 64MB RAM plus swap.

md5sum=5e38db8c554aa5f3171dfa930f8ac3c2 antiX-M7-beta1.iso

Edit: user=demo password=demo You cannot login as root! If you need to use root in a terminal, password=root

To exit from the login screen user=reboot password=root To shut down user=halt password=root

antiX-M7-beta1 is no longer available, antiX-M7-beta2 will be available for testing very soon.

03 August 2007. Work is starting on antiX-Mepis7. This will be based on MEPIS7 ie Debian Etch. Being based on the Debian repos will give developers and users much more flexibility.

09 July 2007. antiX goes final! With great pleasure, after a lot of hard work, I am pleased to announce that antiX final, code named Spartacus, is now available for download. (See link below and extra mirrors provided by MEPIS)

About antiX
antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install linux live CD distribution based on MEPIS for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the “Magic of Mepis” in an environment suitable for old computers. So don’t throw away that old computer yet! The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 64MB old PII 266 systems with pre-configured 128MB RAM to the latest powerful boxes. 128MB RAM is recommended for antiX. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue cd.

antiX-M7 will not run (yet) on older processors such as Pentium II (it seems that PII is ok), AMD K5, and AMD K6 as it uses an up to date i686 kernel. antiX-Spartacus should.

Thanks Xecure for coming.

Actually I checked that. However, there is an option to “Edit exclusion file” in the snapshot wizard. When I click on it a file opens in which a list is given, which would be excluded from the snapshot.

If those are excluded, will the snapshot be an exact replica?

In that file, under the heading “# Do NOT edit this entry block unless you know what you are doing”, there is a list of a lot of system files namely;

.bind-root
.config
.fehbg
lost+found
swapfile
tmp
dev/*
cdrom/*
live/*
media/*
mnt/*
sys/*
proc/*

etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
etc/resolv.conf
etc/X11/xorg-bus-id
home/timeshift/snapshots

var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
var/cache/apt-xapian-index/index.*
var/cache/apt-show-versions/*
var/cache/apt/*.bin
var/cache/apt/apt-file/*
var/cache/debconf/*-old
var/cache/lightdm

var/log/!(samba|clamav)
var/log/clamav/*
var/log/samba/*
var/mail/*
var/spool/mail/*
var/tmp/*
var/cache/brightness-settings-cache/*

And then below that there is another heading saying “# Entries below this can be edited by the user. If you have any large files or directories, you should exclude them from being copied by adding them to this list.”

Again under this heading there are many configuration files like;

home/*/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*/cache2/*
home/*/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*/thumbnails/*
home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache/*
home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*/cache2/*
home/*/.mozilla/seamonkey/*/Cache/*

home/*/.recently-used
home/*/.recently-used.xbel
home/*/.VirtualBox
home/*/VirtualBox VMs
home/*/.xsession-errors*
home/*/.xfce4-session.verbose-log*

And then there is another heading that says “# This stops any video drivers from loading – safe option.”

etc/X11/xorg.conf
etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf
etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amd.conf

My question is, if we exclude all these files, will the snapshot be the exact replica? What If I delete all these and keep only the following list in the file?

home/*/Desktop/*
home/*/Downloads/*
home/*/Music/*
home/*/Pictures/*
home/*/Videos/*

# Other possible exclusions
usr/share/doc/*

By deleting everything except the above small list, will the snapshot be the exact replica and the consequent installation from it, work properly?

Thanks

“Birds of a feather flock together”.

This “bird” had a Dell Dimension 4100 from 2001 until 2010 or 2011. Before I put the 4100 to rest, I had a 17″ Gateway 2000 “portable” – I don’t refer to it as a “laptop” because though I could move it, the unit was too big and cumbersome to qualify, at least in MY BOOK as a ‘laptop’ computer. That was a good, solid machine. Alas it was a 32-bit machine. I also acquired a 32-bit Lenovo 3000 series laptop; that one was a little smaller, so when I “went out with it”, I used the Lenovo. Alas, it didn’t have a huge battery life, but both the Gateway and the Lenovo were solid.

I effectively replaced them with a Dell Inspiron 5558 in or around 2015, but only actually physically disposed of the other computers in late 2017 or early 2018. Interestingly I looked for places who would refurb and use such old systems and did not find any local; it would have COST me money to send them somewhere to be reused so I took them to an electronics store, which at least disposed of them or tore them apart at no cost to me. I’m guessing that made them money. Decades ago when I worked at Digital Equipment Corporation, our reclamation business did about $1B a year, tearing apart the equipment into the raw components or metals and sold the raw materials instead of putting the hazardous materials in a dump. Not bad to pull an extra billion a year just by tearing apart old junk!

I have a couple of “new” reclamation projects – an excellent old IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad X201, an HP 5000 series desktop with a very nice monitor, and an old HP laptop with a marginal hinge between the display and the keyboard – but all three work. I have MX Linux on the Thinkpad and antiX on the two HP models, and my Dell Inspiron 5558 is my multi-boot every day machine plus test bed system. I also have a slow, but steady Lenovo N22 Chromebook; it’s slow, but very solid, and it’s OK for simple browsing.

1st thing I checked on mine. < spare cords or fluke >
Then checked ram sticks in other oldy hardware.

Shuttle Box amd P4 single core cpu also bit the dust a while back. HAD a decent nvidia video card in it. It now sits in the Dell shop computer.
I gotta eol message on that shop box running MX linux jessie version. Totally spaced that out of my mind.

If I never got the popup. I woulda spaced it out a lot longer. Yeah. I am like that. Procrastinate city. Hence why my testing is slow, but, steady.

I’m not very good at troubleshooting the electrical stuff. But I have good results in stripping the computer down to it’s individual parts and then cleaning and reassembling. Sometimes it’s just too much dirt buildup. And removing the CPU’s and memory chips and reinstalling can be helpful.

If after that there is still no response it is probably a power supply issue or bad capacitors. That’s where I start to get flustered. Sometimes I can just swap the power supply. Resoldering capacitors and chips is more than I can handle.

New install. Old hard drive started freezing. So I swapped out drives from another chromebook with broken bios lock.

Apt get update for right now. 138 of em. So I will get back here later with more details when libs are current. And I have things dialed in like touchpad later on.

You MAY be able to run or start a VM, but having more than one instance of a VM active at any given time is very likely to exceed your total available memory. IF you do have a nice, LARGE SWAP file, you may get away with running some images, but they are going to thrash and swap considerably unless you run most of your system with as much resource conservation as possible.

So rather than say “it’s IMPOSSIBLE”, it MAY be possible, but you will not be very impressed with the performance. Best case, it’ll work and if you conserve as many resources as possible, it may actually be usable, though pretty slow. Worst case, it’ll look like it’s going to invoke, but it will either hang or fail somewhere after initialization. That’s a pragmatic answer; it may be possible, but it won’t be pretty.

If you had 8-16 GB of memory PLUS a large swap disk, that might help. Does your computer have any slots where cheap memory could be added, or memory with higher capacity per chip could be added/replaced from what you have now and still be compatible with your hardware?

may help. Give it a try and see if it works out, if you can afford it.

Hello there,

The About page of antixlinux.com says;

The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 256MB old PIII systems with pre-configured swap to the latest powerful boxes.

This is very pleasing and gladdening.

However, I have my doubts. So I am asking this to clarify them.

Can Antix-19.2.1-Base run a couple of VBox VMs smoothly?

I was thinking of installing VBox and a couple of VMs on my Antix-19.2.1-x64-Base system. My system is mid-range and has the space and required system configurations, I suppose. They are as below;

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 M 380  @ 2.53GHz
Graphics card: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
Sound: Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio
Storage: Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 4 port SATA AHCI Controller
RAM: 3 GB
Network:
  Wireless: Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
  Ethernet: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM2070 Bluetooth Device
Hard disk: SAMSUNG HM321HI 300 GB
CDROM: Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH
BIOS: BIOS

Can a combination of this computer, with the above mentioned HW configurations and Antix-19.2.1-x64-Base OS, handle VBox and its couple of guest VMs of Windows 10 and Android?

Thanks & Regards

Sometimes. Assumptions made on a task just back you into a corner.
So a re-install on / partition while leaving /home alone probably
will fix my PBKAU problem on the previous install.
Did this install with eth cable hooked up.
Connection was auto go internet on live run.
Moving on to apt update and apt dist-upgrade while on eth0.
Will suss out wlan later on.

Bro-in law is still resting. I am limiting this thread to this gear
http://old.www.macomp.com/companionpc.asp

I will my test findings on .sh script in your other thread at a later day. When time permits.
Just need to sort out a few things first. Like making this current for one.

See. No drama. 😉

I do not know if there is any vision statement for future releases or not, but we have had a general mission statement for some time, and that is fairly well stated on the page : https://antixlinux.com/the-most-extensive-live-usb-on-the-planet/

There are examples and images that explain the current strategy.

From DistroWatch:
antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy-to-install Linux live CD distribution based on Debian’s “Stable” branch for x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the “antiX Magic” in an environment suitable for old computers. The goal of antiX is to provide a light, but fully functional and flexible free operating system for both newcomers and experienced users of Linux. It should run on most computers, ranging from 256 MB old PIII systems with pre-configured swap to the latest powerful boxes. 256 MB RAM is recommended minimum for antiX. The installer needs minimum 2.7 GB hard disk size. antiX can also be used as a fast-booting rescue CD, or run “live” on a USB stick, with or without persistent file storage.

BobC,

Wow! How many video cards … It is unfortunate to see so many cards that probably work and have been forced to become obsolete.

AntiX 16.3 is not accepting to maintain the br-abnt2 keyboard configuration, even after I access the Control Center, Session, Keyboard Layout, change from No Change to Portuguese, Close, back to No Change.
Here are the commands after installing antiX 16.3:

————–

BobC,

Nossa! Quantas placas de vídeo … É lamentável ver tantas placas que provavelmente funcionem e que foram forçadas a se tornarem obsoletas.

O antiX 16.3 não esta aceitando manter a configuração do teclado br-abnt2, mesmo após eu acessar o Centro de Controle, Sessão, Disposição do Teclado, alterar de No Change para Português, Fechar, volta para No Change.
Seguem os comandos após a instalação do antiX 16.3:

Brian,

Eu não gostaria que o BobC perdesse o seu tempo fazendo todos os testes que você sugeriu para criar algo que provavelmente terá outros tantos problemas para fazer funcionar o LibreOffice ou um navegador de internet.

Caso não seja possível instalar um navegador de internet recente no antiX 16.3, traduzir para português o LibreOffice, manter o teclado em configurado em br-abnt2, o jeito será desistir de usar o antiX 16.3 no computador com a placa de vídeo Via VT8237R Plus e instalar uma distro Linux que funcione.

O antiX 16.3 se mostrou muito mais estável neste computador com a Placa mãe MSI 238318 e placa de vídeo onboard Via VT8237R Plus do que o SliTaz, além do mais, no outro fórum eu não estou tendo todo o apoio que tenho aqui e isso faz toda a diferença, porque não dá para aprender sozinho uma distribuição Linux, disso eu tenho certeza. Não há vídeos ou conteúdos em português para antiX ou o SliTaz, sem este fórum eu não teria conseguido aprender tanto.

Se fosse em um MS Windows eu baixaria o driver no site do fabricante e o instalaria, mas no mundo Linux é tudo diferente, leva tempo para aprender e a se acostumar com essa diferença.

Agradeço a todos que colaboraram nesta postagem.

Brian,

I would not want BobC to waste his time doing all the tests you suggested to create something that will probably have as many problems to make LibreOffice or a web browser work.

If it is not possible to install a recent internet browser on antiX 16.3, translate LibreOffice into Portuguese, keep the keyboard set to br-abnt2, the way will be to give up using antiX 16.3 on the computer with the Via VT8237R Plus video card and install a working Linux distro.

AntiX 16.3 proved to be much more stable on this computer with the MSI 238318 motherboard and Via VT8237R Plus onboard video card than SliTaz, besides, in the other forum I am not having all the support I have here and that does all the difference, because you can’t learn a Linux distribution by yourself, I’m sure of that. There are no videos or content in Portuguese for antiX or SliTaz, without this forum I would not have been able to learn so much.

If it were on an MS Windows I would download the driver from the manufacturer’s website and install it, but in the Linux world everything is different, it takes time to learn and get used to this difference.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this post.
