Thanks to all who helped me with the sound, Xecure, anti, and others.
I finally got the sound sorted out, it is now working and solid, meaning it persists after reboots.
I took a different more radical approach.I took my trusty USB drive to a different machine (an AM3 socket APU on another Asus board), live I got sound by just using the sound card selector. It was a very fast boot with toram working, so , excited by sound, I pulled the USB and went back to this signature machine and got sound by selecting the correct card with the sound card selector in the control center.
So, I installed to the 4th testing partition again (my third install of the beta2). This time I did synaptic updates, and selected the sound card with the selector in the control center, and I had sound. It was that easy. Good quality sound in XMMS, youtube, and audacity.
I don’t know why I had all those problems on the two other installs, maybe the key is using the card selector in the live session? Does that transfer any settings to the install? Maybe by not using the card selector first, I had the wrong card, and went through all kinds of incorrect fixing that just made things worse.So, I did many program installs (at least 20-30) for a total of 168 packages added with all the dependencies. I rebooted, sound still works.
I added the 4.19.52-antix.1-a kernel and the 5.1.5 kernel.I updated my MX grub, and booted into the 5.1.5 kernel, sound is still working on this amazing fast modern system (just released Buster from debian, a very new kernel, and a BIOS from 8 months ago).
Next I can try the NVidia driver installer.

Excellent.
The NVidia driver install went perfectly from the control center NVidia installer.
I now have nvidia 419.74-1 working with the 5.1.5 kernel.Sound still works, many programs installed. All working well including after several re-boots.
Now for some stability testing.Is ksnip available in some repo? I did not see it? Or what alternative screen shot grabber would you recommend?

I looked at antixcc.sh and found the nvidia driver install and looked at that toi find that a log was kept in ddm.log. Here are the ddm.log files for the 2 machines that failed on page 9 of this thread:
On both the Alienware M14 and Dell XPS 15 it looks like it couldn’t find virtualgl-libs:i386. This is odd because they are 64 bit machines, but I see primus-libs-ia32:i386 was also called for and didn’t seem to have a problem, so maybe that is ok. Let me know what to try to get these 2 machines working with the nvidia drivers.
Thanks

I installed the ANtix 19 Beta, it is stable, but I have two small problems:
the fonts are imperfect, I can’t set them as on 17. Despite being the same settings.
Furthermore, when it goes into suspension, it does not block the session despite the fact that in default it is set /etc/default/acpi-support# Comment this out to disable screen locking on resume
LOCK_SCREEN=trueThanks

I installed to an EVGA 780i 3 way SLI motherboard tower with an Intel Core2 DUO and 2 BFG GeForce GTS 250 SLI cards in it at the moment, and 2 monitors connected. I did not attach the SLI bridge.
With one Graphics card and one monitor, all went well, both normal and with nVidia drivers. When the 2nd nVidia card was added afterwards, the 2nd card appears in the nVidia program, but doesn’t come up in X-Windows.
When I installed with the 2nd card already in the machine the nVidia driver install failed. Here is the inxi and the log.

Something about policy31 not found no directory ? at bootup.

I’m having the problem where slim takes 55 mb and xorg takes 82 mb of memory on my Dell xps-15 laptop with 4k optimus video built in.
I got it down to 34 mb by reducing the background.jpg and panel.png to very small files. I would be happy with just a console style login and some of my memory back 🙂
Luckily the machine has 16 gb.

If you don’t need an image but, only one color background, you could use an 1×1 Px ‘image’ in any color and let it repeat/stretch all over the screen.
Yes, I did 100×100…
I think the real problem is the number of Px on the screen at 3840×2160 times the number of bits of colors.
Its not important compared to getting bugs fixed and moving forward… Someday would be nice to avoid it, but not critical.

Those of you testing antiX-beta2 and have dist-upgraded, what do you think of the Light-lines wallpaper with the default Clearview Blue IceWM theme (and conky)?
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Light-lines doesn’t work with the conky. No contrast.
Lines has the problem of the bottom of the conky hard to see due to the line going wide under it when WiFi is on
Lines-short works
Thats my opinion…

What if you change conky contrast?
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Yes, with a “darker conky”, light-lines would look good.
Everything is set for defaults on that system…
How it looks coming up without changing anything is important because normal folks will probably not change it and reviews will key on it.
Keep in mind that at 800×600 the lines will be underneath the conky text if there is wifi or ethernet. You don’t need network monitors in the conky under IceWM because they are down below in the monitor boxes, but under JWM or FluxBox the monitor boxes are not there.
PS: I would think with light-lines you should also use a darker theme as well as darker conky. For example, with clearview blue med it looks almost like the taskbar and background are almost the same color. But I don’t want to look at a dark theme. I have that on Win 10 all day for work.

My favorites are either lines-short or the auditorium with clearview blue medium. Either of those two looks good to me.
I’m no graphics person. I just know what I don’t like, LOL. Much easier than actually creating artistic things for someone like me…
… what do you think of the Light-lines wallpaper with the default Clearview Blue IceWM theme (and conky)?
What if you change conky contrast?That’s what gives …
