How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsrej
xecure-
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.orgThis changed it to local time, but in previous installs of antiX, when the option to use “local time” is selected in the installation process, this has configured the time correctly. It probably should work in the clock settings GUI also, but does not. UTC time makes the BIOS clock 4 hours ahead, which leads to other issues.
——————————I am not sure, but I think that happens when a file is considered “executable”. Has always happened to me. Until someone confirms it as a bug, you could disable single-click, normal click on a file to select it, and right-click and open with your preferred Text Editor.Yes, been right-clicking and selecting a text editor to open, yet thought it might be a bug, since this issue has never been present in any of my antiX 17 versions.
Right click on Rox Panel, ROX Filer > Options… Got to last tab “Compatibility”, unpick “Panel stays on top” Save and toggle Off/On the panel again and it should be fixed.This not only did not work, but in Xfce, disappeared the rox-panel altogether – but was able to retrieve it in IceWM and reset it.
Thought these were bugs, but maybe it is just the hardware with the kernel, driver, or both – will experiment on other laptops.
Thank you for your assistance.

@rokytnji
I think you need to go back to the start. Sometimes, when we know so much, we try to jump too far. When this happens to me, I try to think as a newbie.
1. First check to see if the touchscreen is detected. In your MXlinux forum post, it shows as a USB device, and not a PCI device. The information from your post:
USB: Hub: 1-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 9 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 1d6b:0002 Hub: 2-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 4 rev: 3.0 speed: 5 Gb/s chip ID: 1d6b:0003 Hub: 3-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 2 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 1d6b:0002 Hub: 3-1:2 info: Intel ports: 8 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 8087:8000 Device-1: 3-1.3:6 info: PNY Classic Attache Flash Drive type: Mass Storage driver: usb-storage interfaces: 1 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 154b:007a serial: <filter> Device-2: 3-1.4:7 info: MediaTek type: <vendor specific> driver: btusb interfaces: 2 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 0e8d:763f serial: <filter> Device-3: 3-1.5:4 info: Suyin Asus Integrated Webcam type: Video driver: uvcvideo interfaces: 2 rev: 2.0 speed: 480 Mb/s chip ID: 064e:9700 serial: <filter> Device-4: 3-1.7:5 info: Atmel type: HID driver: hid-generic,hid-multitouch,usbhid interfaces: 2 rev: 2.0 speed: 12 Mb/s chip ID: 03eb:8a41So, isn’t Atmel your touchscreen device? Maybe I am wrong and have been misleading you. Please check first in your original MX inxi if you can identify what device is the touchscreen. For now, I will consider the Atmel device the touchscreen.
You already tried searching for “Atmel” in the USB list, but it doesn’t seem to detect any device named “Atmel”. Display a general list for usb devices:
lsusb
The only important one has a chip ID 03eb:8a41 (the Atmel one). You should be able to see it. If there are too many devices, try to filter:
lsusb | grep "03eb:8a41"If not detected at all, then there is a big problem. I don’t know how to proceed from here.
Optional (maybe your only choice in the future) – If something IS detected, then maybe try to upgrade the kernel as I suggested, to 4.19 (download from cli-aptiX and use the live-USB kernel updater). Maybe then the device will be correctly identified.You should be able to see all drivers/modules used by each device. Remember what Bus and Device numbers are assigned for your touchscreen so you can correctly identify if any driver is being used.
lsusb -t
This should give you an idea of the module used. Hopefully some/any of them is related to the modules/drivers used in your previous MX installation.Check to see what modules are loaded:
lsmod
Hopefully any of the ones that were used in your previous MX system can be found: hid-generic, hid-multitouch, usbhidFrom there, you can check what dmesg finds for your device.
dmesg | grep "03eb:8a41"This may give you a clue.
NOTE:
Next thing, I don’t know of anyone that has tested antiX 19b2 on touchscreen (I cannot until I get my tablet back), but there was a change between antiX 19 beta 1 and 2:
Beta 1 used: xserver-xorg-input-mtrack (Multitouch X input driver)
Beta 2 used: xserver-xorg-input-mouse (X.Org X server — mouse input driver)
So maybe you may first have to install the multitouch package (and maybe uninstall the other one) to see if touch works.Instead of only installing xinput, you could have tried installing the package I suggested, as it should enable touch instead of mouse (use synaptic now that you have wifi working). But this should only come into consideration once the touchscreen modules and drivers are working (this should only be done at the end).
Hope this helps.

Yes, been right-clicking and selecting a text editor to open, yet thought it might be a bug, since this issue has never been present in any of my antiX 17 versions.
Check to see that it is not an Xfce problem. I had problems with XFCE (in antiX 17) that modified file behavior in SpaceFM when the XFCE4 panel is installed.
This not only did not work, but in Xfce, disappeared the rox-panel altogether – but was able to retrieve it in IceWM and reset it.
Sorry for that. It worked for me on Icewm and fluxbox, so I made the suggestion. Maybe Xfce creates some kind of a background that covers anything that isn’t on “normal layer” or not on top.
Sorry again for this.Hopefully some of these bugs are only related to having XFCE installed.

@xavier
inxi -v8 in AntiX persistence is not even seeing the touchscreen. MX probably sees it because I did a full install and MX must have had missing pieces since it does not work on live MX run either. You are probably right about the chip. Atmel. It is just invisible during a live session because < guess work here > more gets pulled in apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade under the hood so to speak.
I got a feeling we are just pounding sand up out behinds trying to get this touchscreen working on a live run. Keyboard works, Sound test terminal crashes when accessed through antiXcc. I still have other things to check out. So no worries bro.
Happy Trails, Rok
Instead of only installing xinput, you could have tried installing the package I suggested, as it should enable touch instead of mouse (use synaptic now that you have wifi working). But this should only come into consideration once the touchscreen modules and drivers are working (this should only be done at the end).
I would. But synaptic package manager is locked into live run and I have to manually add dependencies and debs by using dpkg -i or add to synaptic manually. Besides. Nothing is seen yet.

Why is it locked? I think this is a bigger problem than the touchscreen. In all live-USB with persistence I have, I can update with terminal, synaptic, cli-aptiX and similar, and then save it into root persistence. I don’t know if anticapitalista knows how to unlock apt, or if he knows of any case when this happened. This is very strange.
Sorry if I got a bit overboard with the test requests. This is a topic related to reporting bugs, and I just highjack it every time. I will try to control myself.

It was locked because debian buster servers were offline today. I don’t know why but that was what happened. That was a error shown during apt-get update I think.
Suffering short term memory loss. I saw that happen somewhere < error message > while messing around with b2 touchscreen today.Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.

OK, some learning tonight.
I am learning more about the alsa mixer.
1. muted channels are toggled back by selecting the channel with the arrow keys, and pressing “M”.
2. Pressing F1 for help does nothing.
3. Pressing F3 is very useful, giving the contents of /proc/asound/cards, devices etc.I have hw 1,0, and that was working for some programs. But results are inconstant, working sometimes for audacity, never for youtube on firefox (ESR).
Audacity was working twice, but rebooting or sleep mode (?) killed it.
Then I remembered I uncommented those lines in etc/asound.conf, so I reverted to commenting out the changes to default.
# ***** Defaults ******************************************************* # Audio card/chip and device to use and control # In most cases these settings should remain commented (#) # When commented, card and device 0 are usually automatically selected # When uncommented, the item corresponding to the number is selected #defaults.pcm.card 1 #defaults.pcm.device 1 #defaults.ctl.card 1Now sound works in XMMS, youtube and audacity.
BUT IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE !
Too loud, and when I turn it down in the program and volume control on the panel, it still sounds VERY distorted.SO, is there a fix for the bad sound?
If so, then it will work. Or revert back to the changes, and listen to XMMS. No audacity is a killer for me though !Asus Prime 370X-Pro

on-board ethernet &and sound2nd machine, Alienware M14, with nVidia/Intel Optimist video, installed 64 bit, then installed nVidia drivers. It appeared to be installing, it recognized that it was Optimist based, then said it was installing Bumblebee, then seemed to be done, but when I rebooted I can’t see any difference, ie no nVidia screen, no nVidia menu option. I don’t think it worked right, but not sure what I should have expected. If any logs are needed from it, let me know what. I looked via Synaptic and Bumblebee is not installed, so it definitely failed.
Tomorrow and over the weekend I will try a Core II with nVidia 9500 GT, and a Pentium III with an nVidia 6200 FX or maybe 5500 FX or 5200 FX or old MX series. I have many nVidia cards, but not so many choices of systems to run them on, and not big drives on those, so I need to erase one to load another. I also have 2 triple SLI bridged Dual head nVidia card based machines setup to run 6 22″ monitors each, but that would be a lot of effort to get running, I would guess. It would be neat to get it working, but without the Oracle Java it isn’t useful, so those either need to run Windows or possibly Debian. If there are any of those that aren’t supposed to work, let me know so I don’t waste time with ones that are never going to work.

@entropyfoe. Try turning down PCM. It being set too high causes distortion. There is equalizer in antiX control center also for adjusting stuff.
If cones on speakers are dry rotted. Time for replacement. My panasonic cf-48 suffers from this so it runs a usb speaker.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problems3rd machine, an HP MicroTower Core2 Duo. Installed from USB 64 bit with integrated Intel graphics. No issues with that
Now installed nVidia 9500 GT board. Would boot, but couldn’t get to X. Not a surprise. Installed again from scratch to separate partition with nVidia card in, works ok. Current inxi below. Will try switching to nVidia drivers next.
Hmmmm, couldn’t install because now the time is wrong… Not sure how it got wrong, but it is. Hopefully there will be a fix regarding system time in the next release.
Will run sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org to fix…
Got warning on nVidia driver install about crypto stuff, but otherwise install of 340 drivers went ok. Rebooting next…
Reboot was successful. nVidia drivers running fine. Will post 2nd inxi output just in case anyone needs tto see the difference before and after nVidia driver install.

Next, I will replace the nVidia 9500 Gt with older PCI nVidia cards, since the machine works with both integrated Intel and nVidia 9500 Gt, the only difference will be the video.
I will try a GeForce FX5500 first…
The first card didn’t work. No clue why. Fan was noisy. Tried a 2nd GeForce FX5500 and it is working via normal install after chaning IRQ assignments. Installed to hard drive. Will test nVidia driver install next. Am doing update, upgrade, then nVidia driver install in all cases. Inxi before install pasted in below. Same HP MicroTower as previous tests…
You can see farther below that the nVidia driver install failed because te FX5500 card is too old. I won’t bother trying the yet older MX cards. There is no point trying to test my older Pentium III and IV machines because they all have the older nVidia cards except for the one ATI Radeon card I bought recently.. Its not worth spending money on them at this point.

Hi-
Update re: Selection of “local time” vs “UTC” – not holding setting from install process or application GUI.
As suggested by “xecure “, using “sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org” to configure “local time”
– worked, yet changes back to “UTC” time on re-boot.
Tested two other laptops
– all issues previously posted (rej pgs 8 & 9) are also present on a ThinkPad nVidia laptop and on another Intel model ThinkPad.
Hope this is helpful.
I installed on my Dell XPS-15 with Optimus nVidia/Intel graphics. The install went fine, but installing the nVidia driver failed, same as on the Alienware M14. No one has said what log file to post. This is my main machine.
PS: The install was lightning fast using the toram option. Literally, the install to SSD was completed before I got the userid and password entered. That was AMAZING!
