On an installed version of B2-runit version, the first program that I installed was kodi.
I got this display:Setting up kodi (2:19.1+dfsg2-2) ... Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.26-1) ... Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.17-2) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-13) ... Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.4-2) ... Processing triggers for mailcap (3.69) ...

Updating Slimski /etc/slimski.local.confWhen I installed another program, I did not see the above two lines.
Also,
when I tried to install my favorite Kodi addon within Kodi, I saw this error message:
The dependency on script.module.six version 0.0.0 could not be satisfied. This is the first time that I have seen this error message. I have installed this addon many times on antiX-bullseye A2 and B1 on Kodi 19.1 without any problems. I don’t know if it has to do with this B2 version or recent changes to the Debian bullseye repos. For those that use Kodi, can you also please try to install your addons using this B2 version and share your experience?Update: I copied the .kodi folder from a working kodi on my antiX-bullseye-B1 system to this B2-system and kodi works with this addon. Therefore, it is not this B2-system, but has something to do with this kodi from the Debian repos that I just installed.

Excellent – You made the tag numbers clickable in herbstluftwm!! I’m hooked already. And 9 tags. And roxterm. This is looking really good.
Look at this nifty little piece of programming to create the clickable tags – nice work @anticapitalista :
if [ ! -z "$dzen2_svn" ] ; then # clickable tags if using SVN dzen echo -n "^ca(1,$hc_quoted focus_monitor \"$monitor\" && " echo -n "$hc_quoted use \"${i:1}\") ${i:1} ^ca()" else # non-clickable tags if using older dzen echo -n " ${i:1} "- This reply was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by andyprough.
The Unplug Removable Device button in the taskbar does not work for me. It shows that it does click, but no action.

There is a problem getting to herbstluft from the live boot menus. I will see what happened there.
This line needs to changed to:
desktop "desktop=herbstluftwm " "Herbstluftwm " \
the min-herbstluft is no used anymore, and slimski can only recognize the sessiontype “herbstluftwm”That is the first time that I have seen this message:

Updating Slimski /etc/slimski.local.confThis is the new change I added to the apt hook so that it correctly updates the slimski login options. It also updates the Other desktop menus, but it already did this before. I just added the extra informative messages “xsessions have changed” and an explanation of what file is edited for slimski’s sessiontypes.

Robin’s last changes requires it to start with root privileges. The button needs to change to
gksudo unplugdrive.sh
I will see what version of desktop-defaults-icewm-antix is up on gitlab and send a merge request.antiX Live system enthusiast.
General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.gksudo unplugdrive.sh
Just curious,
the format in ~/.icewm/toolbaris
su-to-root -X -c
instead of gksudo. Does it matter
between

the format in ~/.icewm/toolbar
is
su-to-root -X -c
instead of gksudo. Does it matterI could change it to su-to-root instead (any of them work). I just created the merge request, but if anticapitalista prefers su-to-root I will change the toolbar entries and add a new commit.

Thanks for the feedback so far.
I’d like some feedback from users who have tried printing, scanning, bluetooth devices, exfat partitioned usb devices, phone connections, tethering etc.
Also, some comments on stability, speed, RAM usage would be useful.
Doesn’t matter if it is running live or installed.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
some comments on … RAM usage would be useful.
Concerning ram usage, after B2-runit boots, the baseline ram is 177 Mb. I then installed several programs via terminal and closed out the terminal window. Without any major application running, the ram did not go back to the baseline 177 Mb. It stayed at 277 Mb. I included a screenshot of the ram usage:

So is that better/worse/on a par with sysvinit/previous versions? Thanks

I’d like some feedback … exfat partitioned usb devices …
I have a Samsung 60 Gb USB drive formatted with exfat partitioning. It would not properly mount for me in antiX 19. I thought that I would only use it for Windows systems. This drive mounts and transfers data great in this B2-runit system.

This is just some data from how I use antiX – it compares antiX-19 (heavily modified) and antiX-21 (beta and also modified.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
PPC
I just tested runit beta2 on a virtual machine:
-It feels fast
-It looks great – I love the new desktops, the new log-in manager
-I tip my hat to skidoo and the folks that themed the log-in manager- it looks amazing for a low footprint piece of software! And it’s localized too!… This leads to the next point:
-antiX is now much more localized- stuff like set time & date, select new wallpaper, now are multi-lingual.
– I’m a great fan of zzzfm- I helped test it and translate it- if you choose a desktop that starts with “zzz” you’ll end up with a a spacefm spin off that runs fast, with almost the same RAM foot print as the default Rox file manager. I liked the fact that it comes as secondary File Manager and now shows the bookmarks and the devices list- looking very similar to User Interface most people are used to
– About the RAM usage, on zzz-icewm it runs on about 150 mb on my virtual box test- pretty nice for a latest version of Debian- I haven’t tested it much…
– I tested HerbWM- true that I had a bit more experience with it, but now, clicking the “tag” on the top, made it much more usable for someone that (like I’ve always been- knows a few keyboard shortcuts but is too used to click on stuff)
– What the hell? It comes with Firefox ESR AND Firefox? Or was that a dmenu bug, on herbWM?Suggestions-
-unplugdrive.sh- I’m not aware of the security risks, but Robin suggested a way to automatically run the script in root mode- most users won’t like having to type the password to eject a pendrive…
-On zzz-icewm- the “root file manager” toolbar icon lunched “rox” not “zzzfm in root mode”
-Use pt-br gksu localization files as pt-pt localization files- the gksu interface in pt-pt is unlocalized- it’s a shame that something as important has the prompt to enter a password is not localized (true that about 99% of users probably understand what it means…- but hey, there’s already a localization file available… might as well use it)
-…When I have the time to test it a bit more, I’ll have some more suggestions…Note- testing b2 on virtualbox made the vm crash- opening a web site in herbWM, in firefox- virtualbox now crashes every time I try to click that vm now… I’ll reboot and try again…
Verdict:
I only tested it for less than 10 minutes before my VM craped out but this version looks great, feels snappier, is almost completely localized.
It feels polished- it’s almost like having a shiny new device instead of a PC that is almost old enough to vote…
As always my thanks to anti and to the entire dev team and translator team
