Home full of java error logs on Beta 2 Bullseye Runit. Ideas on how to fix very welcome.
Java JRE was installed from the Packet-Installer. Needed for libreoffice addon Language Tool to function..

font way too big by the way

consider:
If the as-shipped default configuration specifies a fontsize of e.g. “24”,
the text would be ridiculously large when displayed to an 800×600 screen… yet same may display “slightly too small” when viewed on a 4K monitor.
I’ve lost track of whether antiX still attempts to accommodate 800×600 displays (IIRC 1024×768 was the minimum target for the liveboot menu).
Locally, I have no HiDPI displays onhand to test against. Someone else can suggest what minimum fontsize is readable on HiDef.

Theoretically, a future slimski version could conditionally ignore/override a too-large configured fontsize when it detects a “small” screen is in use.
We would need to find agreement in what the cutoff//threshold is though ~~ how small is “small”?

. Sessiontype displayed should be Herbstluftwm to indicate the actual session type if the user logs in. Current behavior led me to to conjecture that sessiontype showing as IceWM was intended to force IceWM as default WM after each logoff, but it is clear such should not be the intended design.

Just to stress again, this is just a ‘cosmetic’ issue with slim-ski behavior

Within slimski.conf, one can enumerate the available sessiontypes.
Alternatively, one can leave the list blank, and slimski will consult the content of the …/xdg/sessions/ directory.
antiX has chosen the latter approach and, IIRC, has elected to intentionally omit an entry for herbstluftwm within the sessions directory.
Here, I’m explaining that the described “slimski behavior” regarding available sessiontypes is functioning as intended ~~ at each login, slimski check/verifies that the “lastused” is still a “valid” available sessiontype.

thanks skidoo,
I have been searching and testing.

The problem is not language tool, Put oracle java jre1.8.0_301 in usr/share/java
language tool installed cleanly after path setup in LO.
Libreoffice has a java environment included in an appimage which also works without
issues.

For now I have given up on open java, removed the packages and now have no more error logs.
Will take a look again on next long rainy day.

Main reason for my posting is Libreoffice is a flagship application and problems could quickly
reflect on the distro.

Not a bug, but a localization request that applies to any antiX (19 and 21):

Is it possible the use the pt-br arandr localization files as pt localization?

There’s no pt localization at all, and all pt-br corrections are correct in pt (launching “arandr” displays the interface in English, launching “env LANGUAGE=pt_br arandr” displays a perfectly localized interface in pt (thanks for letting me know it was localized in pt-br, Marcelo!).

P.

I would like to report on comparison of slim and slimski with respect to RAM usage.
For the purposes of testing, I installed slim and slimski on the same B2-runit system.

Slimski:

3.9 MiB +   1.4 MiB =   5.3 MiB	slimski

After initial boot using slimski, the total ram was 164 MiB using the rox-icewm desktop. Then I logged out and logged back into the rox-icewm desktop. The total ram went up to 175 MiB.

I then switched to slim and rebooted.

Slim:

3.8 MiB +   1.6 MiB =   5.4 MiB	slim

After initial boot using slim, the total ram was 168 MiB using the rox-icewm desktop. Then I logged out and logged back into the rox-icewm desktop. The total ram went up to 178 MiB.

Based on these data, there is not much RAM usage difference between slimski and slim. If anything, there is a slight better RAM usage with slimski. But it is very small.

I understand the reasoning. Thanks.

Would there be any arm in using URXVT as default terminal?

I think it is too bare-bones (at least for me). No right-click context menu, no drag-and-drop support, most of the easy help instructions in the forum answers don’t work (except running commands). It is entirely keyboard driven.
