      I have a 5.3.14 kernel available to antiX-19 64 bit users (buster, testing and sid).

      This may be useful for those with new hardware.

      Note: Virtualbox, broadcom-sta, ndiswrapper (and probably nvidia) drivers may not build for the buster version, but should build for testing and sid ones.

      Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

      antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Tried running inxi this morning just get errors.

          Unmatched right curly bracket at /usr/local/bin/inxi line 20018, at end of line
          syntax error at /usr/local/bin/inxi line 20018, near "}"
          Unmatched right curly bracket at /usr/local/bin/inxi line 20019, at end of line
          Can't redeclare "my" in "my" at /usr/local/bin/inxi line 20022, near "my"
          Global symbol "$b_gcc" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $b_gcc"?) at /usr/local/bin/inxi line 20028.
          Global symbol "%data" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my %data"?) at /usr/local/bin/inxi line 20029.
          

          and so on..

            Are you running testing/sid repos?

            Even if you are or aren’t, I can’t replicate the error

              @ anticapitalista

              This was a full install of antiX19 all is standard apart from sgfxi install of nvidia 440.36 and i3.

              No (antiX19 buster) just tried with Debian 10 and it inxi work fine.

              After the preinstalled version on anitX19 gave errors I tried reinstall installing with cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi and not installing giving errors.

              Yet with Debian 10 I install inxi with cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi & it installs plus works.

              I will try uninstall inxi all together from antiX19 then reinstalling.

              Thanks for your reply.

                inxi version in antiX-19 is via the smx-inxi deb shown here:

                https://repo.antixlinux.com/buster/pool/main/s/smxi-inxi-antix/

                So, try apt-get purge smxi-inxi-antix && apt-get install smxi-inxi-antix

                  Ok I get this apt-get purge smxi-inxi-antix && apt-get install smxi-inxi-antix command ago.

                  I find something interesting but as I see from your purge command and synaptic its self that the inxi script has been written for antiX and is not the full inxi install. Plus the script is part of control-centre as in smxi-inxi-anti 0.4.18 and inxi-gui-antix 0.3.7 so if you try to remove inxi from synaptic it removes control-centre as well. Also you can’t install inxi 3.032-1-1 from synaptic as it complains about over riding the smxi-inxi-antix script and will remove control-panel also.

                  And yes your purse command worked Thank You

                      Referring to issue of memory usage in 5.3.14 anti brought up in another thread (New Kernels Available) I have a question to experts (I am not one at all):
                      Running ps_mem.py for antiX with 4.9 and 5.3.14 shows twice total memory used, which is reported neither by conky mem nor Htop. I think ps_mem was designed to more accurately report memory as used by running processes, with a split between private and shared.
                      Inspecting memory use values for processes between antiX 19 kernel 4.9 and 5.3.14 seems to show roughly the same private memory use but way much higher shared memory. This seems what is happening across all processes…
                      So my question is: What is causing that processes in antiX with kernel 5.3.14 are using multiple times the amount of shared memory than in case of kernel 4.9 or kernel 5.2 (as ps_mem shows reported by anti)?
                      Such radical shift in shared memory use seems between antiX with kernel 5.2 and 5.3. It seems that a point release difference of kernel would not be expected to cause such radical change…

                          Such radical shift in shared memory use seems between antiX with kernel 5.2 and 5.3

                          websearch:
                          memory usage 5.2 5.3 linux kernel

                          various quirks have been widely reported against 5.3.x
                          Reputedly, most of ’em have been addressed (resolved) in the 5.4.x branch

                            Are you saying that the fixes implemented on 5.4 are not backported on 5.3? In my brief experience with 5.4 5.3 appeared as quicker, more responsive, lighter. Ever since 5.3.1 it appeared fast. I kept 4.20 for a while when 5.1 and 5.2 were coming out.
                            I also take memory leak reports with a grain of salt. If one was to start every process in a terminal and keep track visibly of what they spit out during their life (as processes) what sometimes is reported as memory leak is just output of the program running, and the whole thing combined appears to be growing in memory use as that output has to stay somewhere for you to discover.
                            I run as much as I can without dbus, so when software that make the assumption that dbus is running can’t find it they spit out warnings of “failure to communicate” (cool hand luke). But even when the damn thing is running it doesn’t mean it is successful in what it needs to do, so more trash being thrown out and not cleaned.
                            Memory leaks are dangerous things and should be investigated and diagnosed, don’t let me discourage anyone from hunting.

                            It is like some scumbag waiting outside a school and saying “hey, hi Mary” – “I am not Mary, I am Suzie Quo, I live on 234 5th street, my daddy is rich” – “that’s what I wanted to know!”.
