      After doing the latest update (eudev) I no longer have audio or wireless connection.
      antix Control Center -> Test Sound terminal window immediately closes
      antix Control Center -> Adjust Mixer terminal window immediately closes
      No audio icon in system tray area
      Cannot make a wireless connection using Ceni

        That’s bad news.
        I assume you are using antiX-17.3.1 and default stretch repos (you didn’t give any information)

        Are you 100% sure that eudev is causing the issues and not a failed download?

        Try apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get -f install.

        If still no luck, go to this link and download the debs you need for your arch via dpkg

        eudev-3.2.6 debs

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Hey LS650V,

          When I ran synaptic to update eudev, the installer
          messaged me to indicate that the newer package would use
          the more cryptic device names for network stuff. It said
          that I should add the option:

          net.ifnames=1

          to my boot command line in order to use the old-style
          device names. So, I added that kernel option after the
          ‘ro’ option in the “linux” line of my /boot/grub/grub.cfg
          file.

          I’m not certain that this kind of thing would also
          cause sound problems, but it seems plausible.

            I gave your recommendation a try, unfortunately it did not fix my problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

              anticapitalista,
              apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get -f install did not indicate there were any issues. I next tried your suggestion about eudev-3.2.6 downgrade using dpkg. This fixed the problem, I now have audio and a network connection. There is a compatibility problem with the recent update and my system, which is a frugal install.

                I also run 32 bit antiX-17 as a frugal install, and, for me, there were no issues with the eudev upgrade.

                Can you post a full report of your hardware ie inxi -v8
