In reply to: How to i connect to my home’s wifi? [SOLVED]
frazelle09
Dear Bob: Thanks for replying and offering to help! i changed the theme to clearview and can now see the icons a little better. i’m using ethernet at the present and can see the icon with the two arrows very clearly. When i left click i get no list of networks… Oh, this cannot be. With a dark DE background i can see what looks like a white window with an up arrow at the top and a down arrow at the botton. It appears that there is some info bet. these two arrows but the line has such a short height that it isn’t shown..

Hello I just installed antiX 19.2 64 Base and I have no sound.
In the “Sound Card Chooser” app I only can select “Generic:HDA-Intel-HD-Audio Generic”
and “Generic_1:HDA-Intel-HD-Audio Generic”
If I choose one the test fails because cannot connect to the device.
I guess I have to install a sound card driver but I don’t know how.
In Mx Linux I have sound.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsPPC
Hi, I took a quick look here in the forum, but found nothing that helped me:
1- I’m on a new(er) desktop pc that, after installing antix 19 (now fully updated), got an internal dvd-rom plugged in.
2- Problem: if I put a disk in the drive, spacefm (my default file manager) correctly show’s it’s name, somthing like “sr0 … [name_of_cd-rom]” but when I try to mount it I get this error:Mount /dev/sr0 Finished with error ( exit status 32 ) udevil: /dev/sr0 is known to mount - running mount as current user udevil: warning 45: options ignored for device in fstab (or specify mount point) mount: /media/sr0: mount point does not exist.3- The same thing happens if I put in an audio CD, but VLC plays it just fine!
4- My Fstab:

Any idea how I can mount cd-roms and dvd-roms?
I tried to mount as root, same problem…
Thanks in advance for any help…P.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problems
rayluo
If you aren’t running with persistence, nothing is ever written to the usb except on shutdown/reboot, when certain configuration files are saved.
Just to add, IMHO this also applies (of course) when running with persistence (root) but not saving changes, such as running with option 3 (Manual), when changes are saved when you explicitly request.
Yes that is also my understanding too. Thanks for confirmation.
however, even if your swap is on your harddisk (that’s where mine is too), you could still see a pretty big slowdown. the live-usb WILL use the hard disk swap if its present.
any changes made to the running filesystem would be stored in RAM, which would eventually max out ram. I’ve done this while making videos…my videos were saving to ram…
we’ve talked a lot about USB writes, but I think you may want to check how much RAM you are actually using when things slow down. look at “htop” for a easy view, or “free” to see a numerical chart.
Yes I know some of my machines are not necessarily a workhorse with tons of memory, and I know that when paging happens, a machine will be slowed down, regardless of where that swap sits.
But this question thread was NOT about “why my machine slows down when running out of memory”. The slow down was just a symptom typically happens when I CTRL+T to open a new tab, and such symptom led me to notice my USB thumbdrive’s light started flashing.
So, to rephrase my question: Given that “if you aren’t running with (static) persistence, nothing is ever written to the usb except on shutdown/reboot”, why the USB disk light was flashing, which indicates some I/O was happening on the USB drive? (Precisely speaking, a flashing light on USB disk does not necessarily mean it was being written, it could be just being read, however I was just opening a new tab from an already-running Firefox instance, so presumably nothing needs to be read, thus it must be writing something.)
FWIW, back in the days when I was using Windows XP on low RAM machines AND purposely disable its pagefile (the equivalent of Linux’s swap), the OS predictably emitted an “Out of memory” error when I tried to start a new application when the machine was already approaching its memory limit. But then, before/during/after that error message, the machine was performing normally without slowing down. (This actually gives me an idea of completely disable my swap right now, and see how it goes.)
Assuming Live USB antiX instance is on flash drive then minimizing writes to Live USB stick is of serious importance as frequent writes do deteriorate flash in the course of time to make them eventually unreliable.
Good point. In my case, I do not necessarily care about the longevity of my USB disk. They are cheap anyway. But a premature failure could cost theoretically lost of data. Yet my major concern is simply that, if such USB disk write was not intended in the first place, it might be a bug somewhere that antiX core developer(s) might want to hunt it down.

to answer your question, the overlayfs IS the running filesystem. the /dev/loop0 is the mount back to the linuxfs/squashfs device. when running persistence, there are a couple more layers, but even just running without persistence uses overlayfs to mount make the read-only linuxfs squashfs filesystem on the live-usb accessible to the end user.
we’ve talked a lot about USB writes, but I think you may want to check how much RAM you are actually using when things slow down. look at “htop” for a easy view, or “free” to see a numerical chart.

My following reply was posted earlier today, but it was not shown up. I tried re-post immediately, it said “duplicated post was detected”. – SMH – One more try here. – Two more.
Thanks for the valuable inputs so far. I want to clarify that this topic is not relevant to persistence mode, although a (dynamic) root persistence will likely expose that underlying problem more easily, because then the computer would have less available RAM to be used as … RAM, thus the swapping (a.k.a. paging) kicks in earlier. Personally, I’ve recently switched from (dynamic) root persistence to NO PERSISTENCE (because I already “get my system setup as I like it”). In either case, I observe the same “CPU load icon in systray is largely red” symptom.
I can’t address your situation in full, but I can share some tips on running live. Things I always do:
1. NO swap FILE usage (whenever you remaster or add persistence files is when the system asks this, I think).
To be clear, I did NOT setup my swap file on my LiveUSB disk. FYI: The LiveUSB maker did offer that option (perhaps even as the default option), but I said “hell no!” I setup my swap partition and swap files on hard disk.
So, the question remains “why/when/what the liveUSB (no persistence) session would write something to liveUSB disk, presumably when under memory starvation situation”.
2. use ZRAM for swap — https://mxlinux.org/wiki/other/zram/
Hope this helps some.
This might still not answer that question. But it seems an interesting idea in itself. I’ll check that out. Thanks!
I would hazard that you are running shy on ram and the live system is using a swap file (create by default on persistence is enabled, although you can say no) on the usb device. modern browser’s are ridiculously ram hungry. so multiple tabs with a video running well may have your machine going to swap, even if you haven’t maxed your ram quite yet.
that is a guess, since I don’t know exactly how your live-usb is set up.
Thanks for your reply, Dolphin! As mentioned earlier in this post, I did say “no” when I created persistence on usb device. And I did not even use persistence mode recently.
I have a follow-up question. Does that OverlayFS on “/” build (partially) on top of the usb device file system? I do observe its size in my system is close to my usb device’s remaining disk space.

Besides, now I notice that Firefox would write and maintain rougly 300MB of cache and data into ~/.mozilla and ~/.cache.

Hello!
First step: determine if using EFI or legacy BIOS.
If using a legacy BIOS, you only need those two partitions you mention (and maybe SWAP if you don’t have enough RAM).
If using UEFI, you will need to create an extra EFI partition (generally a FAT32 partition with 100MBs is enough) with BOOT and ESP flags.If you don’t have a clue what boot system is being used, Windows 8’s installation should create it for you automatically.
After installing Windows 8, check to see if a small fat32 partition (generally 100 MBs) has been created. Then you will know that this is an EFI partition.
Second: Booting antiX from a USB or a CD.
It is important that you test antiX live system first before installing.0. During the first boot, in the boot menu, make sure you select all options you will want to use in the future. Automount if you want your USB devices to automount, language, etc. That way you can make sure it work how you want it before installing.
1. Check to see if mouse and keyboard are working properly. If you have a different keyboard layout that is not US, set it up in Control center > System > Set System Keyboard Layout
2. Check your internet connection. If using Ethernet, check to see you can navigate properly (open the browser and test how well it goes, the speed, etc). If using Wifi, first switch it on (if you cannot see a internet symbol in the system tray, start it from Control Center > Network > WIFI Connect (Connman) ), check to see that Connman can find your SSID and check that it properly connects and doesn’t disconnect after some time, that is has a good signal… that it works as intended.
3. Update your system before continuing to experiment. If you cannot use synaptic, in terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
4. Check to see if your other devices are correctly recognized. I would test AUDIO, other USB devices, printers, CDs, etc. Figuring this out and solving before installing will save you a lot of headaches.
5. Check to see all partitions using Gparted. Hopefully, you can see your internal hard-drive and can mount/unmount the devices.
6. If using a dedicated graphic card, you may need to install some stuff before installation. I know little about this, but maybe this step is not needed.Third: Installation
As stated in the first step, knowing if your system uses UEFI or legacy BIOS is important. If using UEFI, you will have to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS configuration. Also, grub will install differently depending on this too.If you haven’t already, create the partition ext for antiX using Gparted. You will be installing everything there.
After making all your desired changes, you are ready to install.
Hit the antiX Installer (in the menu) and follow the step. Make sure the correct keyboard layouts are selected.
When selecting how to install, you will have to select Custom Install. You will select the ext4 partition you created previously, for root, and have home to install in root. If you haven’t created a swap partition, leave it the swap option as none. For boot, leave it as root for now and hit next.
Make sure you select the correct locale (language), the correct time-zone and time settings, and if needed, the correct services (normally you don’t need to touch this).The last step is the most important for booting into the system. Installing GRUB (you DO need to install it).
If you are in a legacy BIOS system, select MBR installation.
If you are in a UEFI system, select ESP installation. It may not auto-select the correct one, so you need to do this step correctly.After installation, everything should work properly. On reboot, you should autoboot to your antiX GRUB menu. If windows does not appear there, once you boot into antiX, open a terminal and execute
sudo update-grub
This should add a Windows option to the GRUB menu.If someone wants to ask why do I want to install Linux alongside Windows instead of only Linux
That doesn’t matter. We use the computers for our own needs. No need to let others “decide” for us.
If you need it, you use it. You don’t have to be sorry or need to explain anything to others.Let us know if there has been things I haven’t covered, if you have questions or how you did it (and how it worked for you).

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.ModdIt
Hallo Francisco,
All my own computers are running a mix of SSD as boot and installation drive with HDD as long term storage. You can decrease swappiness and/or setup swap on hdd only to reduce ssd writes. i also do not format SSD to full capacity so as to leave the controller some free room to use if any memory cells go defective.
I setup the same way for others I help, rescue older computers mostly for schooling usage.
Have good experience with the drives below, 7 purchased, up to now no failures. Read and write pretty fast even with bigger files which is not so common. Most ssd slow down to a crawl when the cache fills. Cheap and 3 year warranty.

Once upon a time a system with these capabilities was great. It’s been a while though since systems worked well with 1 GB of memory or less.
There is no way that you can use a current generation desktop environment with this system but with great care and very lightweight applications it’s possible to get some more use out of it.
The Web Browser is almost certainly going to be the most difficult app to run with 1 GB memory. Using one tab and as much text based browsing and limited image and video browsing you can make it work.
Around twenty years ago I got by for several years with a Dell Dimension 4100 desktop and only 256 MB of memory, a quarter of what you have. antiX worked great with it for several years. At least a few distributions, Debian, MEPIS and antiX worked until around 2909. By then the system would swap out processes unless you kept everything running under 256 MB. With some swapping it’d still work up to somewhere between 1-2 GB, at which point the swapping was too extreme. I had to at least be able to load a program into memory for it to work properly.
