Run it first from terminal to make sure it works and assign the commands to a key-combination (on whatever WM you use).
Yes, each of the 3 WMs you mentioned should have a configuration file in which the you can specify your customized keybinds
Thank you Xecure and skidoo for the process to enable keybindings for desktop switching.
Simple and effective enhancement…Also just wanted to confirm that in testing (actually now using most of the time) antiX-runit-21 B2 I have not encountered any material issues.
– CUPS service comes up on boot and printing works fine
– Networking (SMB/CIFS) works as expected – properly maps to SMB shares. I did not test NFS but it should work also.
– Bluetooth service can be enabled via runit-service-manager.
– UFW comes up active after reboot.
– Slimski works fine for me except the actual default sessiontype is determined after username is entered and Enter key pressed, not necessarily sessiontype that is initially displayed. The parameter ‘Default sessiontype’ in slimski.local.conf – not sure it takes default value specified there. I am using the ‘default’ theme, not antiX, so it might be just related to my theme though…Just one minor observation, not material – I am not sure saving state across reboots works for me yet, such as remembering the last WiFi or backlight level on Live. It might be that I missed something to configure…
In general, except some minor configuration to finalize in my environment, it appears to me antiX runit 21 B2 is ready for full time use.
Thanks and Regards. Great accomplishment…- This reply was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by olsztyn.

https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_ParametersUpdate:
The only material issue with Runit 21 B2 (could be Sysvinit too, I did not have the time to test yet) is the following and it appears to have to do with sound volume controls compile of C code.
When I add the standard hardware volume controlsstatic const char *upvol[] = { “/usr/bin/amixer”, “sset”, “Master”, “5%+”, NULL };
static const char *downvol[] = { “/usr/bin/amixer”, “sset”, “Master”, “5%-“, NULL };
static const char *mutevol[] = { “/usr/bin/amixer”, “sset”, “Master”, “toggle”, NULL };to config.h for DWM and compile the C code of DWM it compiles correctly just as in antiX 19.4 (I did include the required X11 header – #include <X11/XF86keysym.h> ), however the hardware volume controls do not work in the executable DWM when so compiled under antiX 21 B2.
As a temporary workaround I keep compiling under antiX 19.4 and copying the resulting DWM executable to antiX 21 B2 /usr/local/bin.Do I need to use different (updated?) libraries under antiX 21 B2 (it is runit, but this should not make any difference in this case) to compile, so as to make sound volume hardware controls work?
Just to mention, sound volume controls work fine in IceWM and Herbstluftwm, apparently as these are pre-compiled so do not require compilation under antiX 21 B2…Any ideas will be greatly appreciated…

@olsztyn FWIW… I use the following in sxhkd with both dwm & i3wm for volume control. I have not tested this in antiX21,
#Volume Control XF86AudioLowerVolume amixer set Master 5%- && notify-send "Volume (Down)" -u low -t 5000 XF86AudioRaiseVolume amixer set Master 5%+ && notify-send "Volume (Up)" -u low -t 5000 XF86AudioMute amixer set Master toggle && notify-send "Sound (Toggle)" -u low -t 5000- This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by manyroads.

@olsztyn You don’t need to do very much (nothing within dwm) as long as you provide a call to sxhkd when you start x windows. I do all the work via a simple call to a script; on Debian based systems I place my ‘call’ via the following command within .xsessionrc (.xsessionrc starts auto magically at login). Here’s the content:

Thanks manyroads…
I see… It looks like an alternate way…
Would this be correct to say that controls defined here take effect across all WMs, so in other words there would be no need to define them within each WM separately?

Yes, indeed. DWM does not belong in this topic.
However, just to clarify, although manifestation of this issues happened to surface with dwm, it is not dwm issue but the fact that these hardware controls compiled under antiX 21 B2 do not work, so it is not dwm specific but could as well be the same issue should anything else be compiled under antiX 21 B2.
Compiled under 19.4 works fine in antiX 21 B2, so perhaps some libraries in 21 B2 should be updated.
So, e.g. if Herbstluftwm is compiled under 21 B2, it should exhibit the same issue.
I do not see how could this be just dwm, as those hardware controls are standard and provided via include file from X11…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):

But you said this-

dwm issues are not an antiX problem especially since the apps/scripts mentioned in this thread are all external to antiX and Debian bullseye.

Compiled under 19.4 works fine in antiX 21 B2, so perhaps some libraries in 21 B2 should be updated.
It is the other way around. You need to see what libraries have been updated or changed in bullseye, and see if you need to change the libraries to build dwm.
EDIT: in bullseye, it seems you need the packages x11proto-dev and nx-x11proto-core-dev [amd64] to get the XF86keysym.h header
To note, I have compiled and built more than one program in antiX 21 or with bullseye libraries, and experienced no issue with said programs.

I’m running antiX 21 Runit testing again, so I updated my system. Last time I used the Dell Inspiron 5558 with runit and testing, it went well.
I explicitly tried several things, including the repo manager, changing repositories, using the Package Installer, installed Opera, used the galternatives, etc., essentially checking out several of the things that were problematic at one earlier time in testing; everything I tried today was successful.antiX 21 is looking very good for runit. I’ve used both kernels and I’ve also used two systems, this one and a Lenovo Thinkpad X201, both with good results.
(I’ve had good results with the sysvinit setup too; I’ll test that again and report in the proper location).

Hi-
Installed on hardware, ran both kernels.

Thank you! Nice work!!

It seems python-pyqt5 was removed from Debian bullseye. We may have to ask the MX team how they have solved this issue.
cewm – Laptop screen resolution does not save in “CC-session-Arandr” [clicked green checkmark] in slimski on reboot.
Slimski will never load a (at least for now) any saved display configuration (to avoid problems when loading the incorrect configuration, but this may change in the future).
If you save the arandr configuration in $HOME/.screenlayout/default.sh, it will load as soon as the desktop-session starts.… slimski …
As you prefer using XFCE, you don’t need desktop-session-antix to control the session. Edit /etc/slimski.local.conf and search for the line starting with
#xsessionsdir /usr/share/xsessions
Uncomment it. Then search for the line starting with atlogin_cmd, comment it out and add below it the command to use normal xsession login. It should look like this:#atlogin_cmd setsid /usr/local/bin/desktop-session %sessiontype atlogin_cmd exec /usr/bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession "%sessiontype"After this, reboot, test again all issues reported, which previous problems should be related to desktop-session-antix

Another user reported something similar (all permissions applied). This is related to udevil, which is the default mounting handler used by antiX (desktop-session), and not used by normal xfce session. Maybe we should remove the raspberrypi patch and restore the use of fmask and dmask configurations.
