About antiX-net

[Member andfree]

I installed antiX-17.1-net (32-bit) on the hard disk of the desktop and upgraded the kernel to 4.9.91. I copied the “rebuild-dkms” script file into my home folder and ran:

$ sudo ./rebuild-dkms

Nothing happened and no output. The script file is executable and it has worked on other system versions. Any dependency or something else? Thanks.

for i in $(dpkg-query -l |grep "\-dkms" |awk '{print $2'}); do dpkg-reconfigure $i |tee -a /var/log/rebuild-dkms.log; done

This is a single line to be used in terminal as root (or scripted). This is what I use after every kernel build to make sure everything is good to go with dkms.

its quite possible on antiX-net that there aren’t any dkms module to rebuild. I’m not sure what’s installed, but classic ones would be

virtualbox-guest-additions-dkms
broadcom-sta-dkms
ndiswrapper-dkms

The *net addition is pretty stripped down, so its possible those aren’t there.

I believe I got that line from something you posted dolphin_oracle! Thank you! Appreciate the how-to’s as well. Good stuff.

Thanks for the replies. Running the line in terminal as root does nothing, too. I also ran “dpkg-query -l”: no dkms-modules seem to be installed. So, I suppose that no problems are caused by them.
One problem I’m facing with is that I cannot unlock my encrypted usb flash disk:

$ udisksctl unlock -b /dev/sdg2
Passphrase:
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.udisks2.encrypted-unlock ===
Authentication is required to unlock the encrypted device USB FLASH DRIVE (/dev/sdg2)

Hi andfree,
The “cryptsetup-bin” package supplies /sbiin/cryptsetup command.
Not sure which other crypt packages you would need though.

Hi linuxdaddy. I installed cryptsetup-bin and now I’m able to unlock the disk:

$ udisksctl unlock -b /dev/sdg2
(...)
Unlocked /dev/sdg2 as /dev/dm-0.

Many thanks. The next problem is that I can’t mount any disk partition with a single “(sudo) mount” command:

$ sudo mount /dev/dm-0
mount: can’t find /dev/dm-0 in /etc/fstab
(EDIT: bad command, see the post #8758 below)

Or, generally:

$ sudo mount /dev/sd**
mount: can't find /dev/sd** in /etc/fstab

I can mount them with commands like the ones below, but then the contents of the disk partition appear directly in /media folder and not in a /media/sd** folder:

$ sudo mount /dev/dm-0 /media
(EDIT: bad command, see the post #8758 below)

Or, generally:

$ sudo mount /dev/sd** /media

If the disk is encrypted you will need the “cryptmount” package to mount them.

cryptmount is a utility for creating encrypted filesystems & swap partitions
and which allows an ordinary user to mount/unmount filesystems
without requiring superuser privileges.

which says you don’t need sudo.

I don’t know which repos you are using so make sure none of these crypt and
mount packages try pulling systemd stuff in.

the clue to your problem is that the mount works when you use /media.

when using mount, mountpoints must pre-exist. so you need to manually create a target folder under /media. I don’t remember if that is true if the mount is defined in fstab or not.

another utility, pmount, is also useful for this.

This is one reason I like to use udevil for mounting. it will auto-create a mount point under /media (by default) with either the device name or the label of the device you are mounting.

Thanks for all the replies. I don’t think I need the “cryptmount”, because I already can mount encrypted partitions (if I define the mountpoint).
I installed pmount, and target folders like these appeared under /media: sdg1, sdg2, sdg3.
I installed udevil, and now the non-encrypted disks are automounted.

I still can’t mount an unlocked encrypted partition without define a mountpoint:
$ sudo mount /dev/dm-0
mount: can’t find /dev/dm-0 in /etc/fstab
(EDIT: bad command, see the next post)

At this point, I installed cryptmount to give it a try, but it didn’t help.

Sorry for the wrong command. The unlocked encrypted partition is mounted and the corresponding target folder under /media appears after the correct command:

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/dm-0

great suggest on pmount.Dolphin..never used it much and wasn’t for sure
how udevil worked on net. I knew it works on base and core. Also most
my stuff isn’t on encrypted usb disk just my home partitions on hdd drives.
glad to see that udiskctl worked andfree.

I forgot to write that I had installed udisks2 before. It’s not pre-installed on net (not even on core).
