A freshly formatted stick also makes no difference, no change regarding logging, I am not asked for password,
first window all I see, trying different settings, no change.

@dr-kart Edit /etc/fstab on the antiX install to the correct one shown by blkid
(I assume you are in antiX install no live when you posted the sudo bkid)
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Would another user please check if Live USB maker Clone a running live system is working for them.
Just to make sure it is not just some weirdness on my system.Works fine for me. Have done it many times, never failed. antiX 21 B2 Runit. No cloning issues for sure. Both plain and encrypted works reliably. I am running Live instances (multiple) both USB and Live from hard disk. Done cloning in either and they work fine to various manufacturers USB sticks.
Edit:
Are you by chance using persistence? Check if you can clone Live with no persistence. If no issue then persistence is a problem here.
I never use persistence.- This reply was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by olsztyn.

fixed.
I forgot that I reinstalled mx21rc over mx21beta2.
Thanks @anticapitalistaNo cloning issues for sure,
I disagree, cloning is not working for me..
No Persistence, just remastered fully updated system Init Runit.
Same issue with a freshly downloaded checked antiX 21 Beta 2 ISO, SysV, written to USB, updated as many packages are changed, remastered,
rebooted.Initial window of Live USB Maker opens, Inserted a stick of fitting capacity same as boot stick. Marked clone a running live
USB system. Fails, no reaction or move from initial window.Insert a USB stick then open live USB maker mark clone, same. Fail no reaction.
Initial fail on a runit fully updated system, present test with sysv init.
My USB sticks are fine, if I write an ISO to them no issues,
Clearing and reformatting before trying to clone makes no difference.I can use snapshot tool to write an ISO, write that to my sticks and have a booting working customized/fully updated copy.
Initial window of Live USB Maker opens, Inserted a stick of fitting capacity same as boot stick. Marked clone a running live
USB system. Fails, no reaction or move from initial window.In Live-USB-Maker window top field ‘Select target USB device’ – does it show your USB stick?
If it does not, it will not proceed.
If it does show your target USB or allows to select one from drop-down and still does not proceed with cloning then something else is wrong… Capacity of target is not material, it can be smaller or larger, as long as clone will fit.
You do not need to clear or reformat sticks. Live-USB-Maker does partition disk regardless.- This reply was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by olsztyn.

YESIf it does show your target USB or allows to select one from drop-down and still does not proceed with cloning then something else is wrong
YES, something else is wrong, which is why I tried a lot of possibilitys to rule out a system problem and asked for help.
Please note it also did not work for anticapitalista.

Very interesting. To make sure I just verified update level and looks like I have exactly the same version as yours and fully updated. Just made another clone, to be sure nothing changed over time since yesterday. As always, no issue.
I have run out of ideas. Hopefully we will get some reports from other users.My last question, as I am really intrigued: After selecting USB target and checking ‘Clone’ then you click ‘Next’ button – does this button react to your click at all, such as sinks in to indicate mouse input?
I am just trying to eliminate a possibility it does not register mouse input in that field…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):

I gave enough info for devs already, a fresh downloaded and updated Beta has same issue.
Bug is there now I expect it will be squashed sometime soon.Regarding a previous post I have no issues whatever with ICEWM using ungoogled chromium since its last update.
I use different themes on different users desktops. Not everybody wants the thinnest theme we have available.- This reply was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by ModdIt.

I set up an antiX 21b2 64 runit test system with a Dell Precision M2400 on a 16 gb Sandisk Cruzer glide 3.0 Flashdrive on sdb1/2. I chose the 4.9 kernel, I did not select any persistence options.
My test sequence:
Burn 21b2 runit 64 to flashdrive-a
boot flashdrive-a
connect to wifi
run antiX updater
remaster, take defaults including Y to home dir
reboot flashdrive-a
run live usb creator with clone live running system to flashdrive-b
no error in terminal window
Live USB Maker window ends looking like it worked with: live-usb-maker took 2 minutes and 43 seconds
box pops up: Failure Error encountered in the LiveUSB creation processWhat is the message in /var/log/live-usb-maker.error
:At least one file failed the md5 check
PS: Looking at /var/log/live-usb-maker.log says near the end
> md5sum -c linuxfs.md5
linuxfs: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT matchI will leave the machine suspended in case someone needs more info…
I think I figured it out. If automount is enabled, it failed. If automount is disabled it works. I would suggest saving the current automount setting and disabling it if enabled before or when starting the live USB maker, and then turning it back on at or after exit if it was previously enabled.

Clone error showing up differently for BobC, anticapitalista and my case where freshly downloaded and updated
system opens live usb maker window but unable to continue from there. Accepts no input, I kept standard theme.I will test again with latest kernel in case that makes a difference, I had unmounted the fresh drive
but no change, can try turning off automount.Kernel 5.10.57 automount off, makes no difference.

I tried again with the 5.10 kernel, and was not surprised that the 14 year old machine was having some problems shutting down. This had happened before in the past as well. Other than that, the sequence to update, remaster, reboot, and clone worked fine if automount was turned off.
I am not technical enough on Linux to know, but I would theorize that when automount is on and drives are being created, the live system being cloned is changing, and it would be difficult to get a good copy of a system that was changing while the copy was being made.
Moddit, it looks like you have a different problem, and would suggest running the same command as the menu runs from a terminal in case there are any messages that might provide clues.
