How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsTopic: keyboard mapping
salvuzzo
Not sure if this is the correct mailbox to post my request, if not I’ll be fast to redirect with my apologies.
The problem is that I need to remap a few keys, in order to add a few polish on my Italian keyboard.
The reason is that I’m studying polish, but I don’t want to switch to the Polish keyboard. It will be enough to add just a few special characters (ążćśłźę).
On my W10 system I install the AutoHotkey program with a AHK file at startup that maps a few alt-gr combinations to the desired chars.
Something like:
alt-gr a -> ą
alt-gr e -> ę
Bytw, autohokey is a handy program that makes much much more.
So, questions are:
1) how to map desired chars?
2) is there a AutoHotkey linux equivalent to be used on Antix?$ inxi -zv7 System: Kernel: 5.10.142-antix.2-amd64-smp arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1 Desktop: IceWM v: 3.0.1 dm: slimski v: 1.5.0 Distro: antiX-22_x64-full Grup Yorum 18 October 2022 base: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Machine: Type: Other-vm?

In reply to: GUI to manage (essential) IceWM settings
PPC
For today, it’s all I can do:
The script now toggles on and off the squares about CPU/RAM; RAM; Network. It toggles between 12h/24h clock and toggles seconds on the clock on/off – that’s, for me, the most important changes (and I think, what most people want to change, if any, from the default toolbar settings).Important TO DO’s:
– add toggle auto-hide toolbar on/off (easy to implement)
– add toggle toolbar at top/bottom (easy to implement)
– add toggle normal toolbar/ double height toolbar (easy to implement)
– use LED clock (easy to implement)
– toggle clock on/off (easy to implement)
– toggle Show app’s icon on it’s window’s title bar (easy to implement)
– Center large windows (easy to implement)
– toggle ShowMoveSizeStatus (easy to implement)
– toggle “Show desktop icon” on/off ???
– toggle Titles of windows on the taskbar on/off (hard to implement)
– link to Robin’s Workspace script (no idea how to implement that one)
– A better User Interface (???)The current version script:

The same basic script, now managing the 3 main “squares” that display system info on IceWM’s toolbar. It’s ugly, still very basic, but effective:

It’s only a matter of adding new functions related to what variable we want to toggle. So, I’ll add “auto-hide”, “position toolbar on top” and “double height toolbar” that way. To edit Workspace’s, I’ll simply call Robin’s “workspace manager” script. Clock settings will be harder to change, has will “toogle on/off names of windows on the taskbar” option- because, well, that does not exist, it’s a fiction, implemented by using a certain size in a variable, but I’m optimist about making a usable GUI for Managing, at least some IceWM settings…P.

One trick is to make a swap-USB stick, so antiX sees and uses that swap, so it helps in the resource thing. The swap-USB is a good tool for helping installing in old hardware.

Got it DONE! Installed on the iMac HDD. Boots into the Grub menu and away we go!
Set up Fluxbox as default for the time being, with huge yellow sunflower on the desktop.I had some problems getting the HDD partitioned. On the first try, I hosed the boot sector so that I didn’t even get a boot menu – i.e. HDD or UEFI.
I had to load the Snow Leopard install cd in order to re-partition the HDD and fix the boot sector.
Once done, the USB stick was found and I could boot off of it.It took me a few tries to successfully partition the HDD from the antiX-22 install app. I once partitioned a HDD by running a script that asked questions like: MBR/ESP/etc ; root size in GB; home size in GB ; swap size ; etc etc. It was the slickest partitioning exercise that I ever saw – but I can’t remember what OS. Maybe OpenBSD.
Anyway – it’s done and many thanks to all who pitched in with suggestions, links etc. 👍

Thanks! It’s a blast working with antiX – especially when things go correctly. 😀
I think that I’ll use a / and /home partition. I’m too old to live dangerously anymore. LOLI’m thinking /swap = 4G (got 2G RAM)
/ = 50G
/home = balance of HDD spaceWhat do you think?

I want to make a link for my desktop, to open my Budgeting Spreadsheet – but it’s not working. I’m attaching 3 screenshots: Trying to make the link, failing to make the link, and the file’s properties.
Background info that might be important:
* I repartitioned my external hard drive, where all my data files are kept.
* I re-encrypted partition #7, where my Budgeting Spreadsheet is stored. This changed its encryption from TrueCrypt method to VeraCrypt method.
* I used a combination of copy/paste and LuckyBackup, to restore the data files from my backup external hard drive, into the newly formatted primary hard drive.I suspect the problem is that the file’s properties now disallow anyone but the owner working with the files. I have 2 antiX OS’s, v19.4 and v21, on 2 different machines, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference which one I use. Neither antiX can make the needed link for the desktop.
But, I also have a Windows 10 installation of each of my laptops, and Windows can make the needed link.
In the course of trying to perform a normal backup, I found that the newly formatted primary drive’s files overwrote the original files on the backup drive. So, ALL of the restored files on both primary & backup external drives are now set as the limited permissions, not allowing anything for Group. This was inconvenient, but it didn’t cause any real problems right away, other than consuming extra time.
I can still access the Budgeting Spreadsheet, but I need to navigate to the subdirectory, and click on it directly. That’s an inconvenience, and I’d like to fix this problem instead of just living with it.
Note that I’d previously had a link on the desktop, to the Budgeting Spreadsheet, and it continued working after I reformatted the partitions and restored the files. But, what screwed things up was when I did a major restructuring of my archive of data files. The Budgeting Spreadsheeit isn’t where it used to be, and requires a new link on the desktop. Which is what I don’t seem to be able to create.
Also note that I can’t make links to other normal data files on the external HD’s So, the problem isn’t limited to just the Budgeting Spreadhseet. It’s all the data files on the external HD’s.
I’m including the output of inxi -Fxxxrz.
At least, for one of the machines… Neither the antiX 19.4 or the antix 21 can make the needed link.I’m not sure how to fix this. Can anybody talk me through it?

So, I tried again, and took a new screenshot – but, the forum’s editing doesn’t let me see or edit the attachments! It made it look as if the attachments were simply GONE – which is why I added them all a 2nd time. So, just ignore the 1st 3 attachments, which includes the defective 1st copy of trying to make a link screenshot.In reply to: Right click not working, what do I do?

Thanks very much again.
I meant to thank you for your awesome help/explanation with Samba too.
I wrote up a PM to send you….
but it doesn’t seem like PMs are an option on these forums, and my thread was closed.
anyway….
Thank you for taking the time for that – I learned a lot about how to think these things through,
and it was my first experience with “dependecy hell”.Back to this thread…
My system supports hibernate.

No more NVIDIA and their closed source bullshit when I have other options.For my laptop in this thread:
I have confirmed it supports hibernate, per your instructions.

this returns 0.However, when after I put it into hibernate – by running

it is as if it was starting freshly from a poweroff.
I have to decrypt the encrypted drive,
no applications are open etc.…So:: I suspect I do not have a large enough swap.
I will try and expand it – and see how it works.When you say (in your second post) ::
“antiX doesn’t make use of this specific way of management.”Which “specific way of management” does it make use of?
Is this in reference to init system related things?
Is it related to differences between system-d and whatever antix22 is using (runit or openrc I guess?)I ran :
sudo service –status-all
and it returned some interesting results about what was enabled and disabled (:Thanks again!

On another matter, I’ve read complaints about some kernels and also about some Web browsers.
Since I’ve been writing this thread, I checked ps_mem.py again, and I was pleased to see that there was no hint of increased memory usage, and in fact, the standard Firefox binary combined with an efficient Liquorix 6.1.11-1 kernel and the runit scheduler, memory is consistent, and on more than one occasion when I close a few tabs, within a few minutes browser cache memory is released. Firefox does tend to cache a lot of initial memory and the base image is somewhat heavy, but in context, not for the resources that I have available at all.Information to support this –

Hi,
Having installed antiX on my quite old ASUS laptop I am really impressed how fast the laptop is working under antX, especially though it has a recognized memory of mere 2 GB on 1 memory bank (the second memory bank does not seem to work, although the RAM module is ok, found that out by swapping the modules around).
Because of the great overwhelming performance (compared to Win10 on the same machine) I now would like to install antiX-22-base.iso onto my even older IBM Thinkpad T30 with 1,8 GHz CPU and a small RAM of 512 MB.
Afrer the USB stick was prepared to boot with the USB Livemaker on the antiX-22 laptop and trying to boot on the IBM machine, I merely get a prompt, nothing else. Cannot enter any commands or whatsoever.
What could I have done wrong? In the near past I’ve tried several lightweight Linux distros on that old IBM, coz I am looking for a distro to install for good. Most of the others had slight hickups e.g. wifi hardware not found etc., but all of them actually booted from the sticks I had created with the LiveUSBmaker from the antiX machine (ASUS).Any help is really appreciated, as I’d need this little IBM machine quite soon (want to take it with me, when I start working as a truck driver again) for those nights where I won’t manage to come home.
Regards
