I also tested plank- it installs fine, works, but complains about an error, on the terminal. The same bug that existed when using plank, a compositor and icewm (part of the screen becomes “unclicable”) is still present…

Note: this bug was reported, last year: https://github.com/bbidulock/icewm/issues/653

Tried playing a YouTube video, since I recently had an issue on siduction. At first I was dismayed and heard nothing, (no working speaker) so I found a headphone jack and plugged it in – success! Video works on this Alpha build – in fact, the stereo, multi-channel capabilities work, another positive check! Alsa mixer changes, at least those applicable to the device I was able to test with, are working as expected.

Regarding iso-snapshot and live-usb-maker on this antiX23 a1:

I made an iso snapshot of my system with a 6.1 liquorix kernel and did live usb maker.

On the boot up menu, there were two things that stood out.
1. I saw
%FULL DISTRO NAME% (%RELEASE DATE%)
I suppose those are not known.
2. But the more distressing thing is that in boot options, it showed:
%OPTIONS%
So I pressed entered and booted up, during the boot it showed error in boot options.

But I was able to complete the boot. I am typing this message in this live boot.

In sudo dmesg,
I was able to find:
[ 0.000000] Command line: %OPTIONS%
and

[    0.018806] Kernel command line: audit=0 intel_pstate=disable hpet=disable rcupdate.rcu_expedited=1  %OPTIONS%
[    0.018833] audit: disabled (until reboot)
[    0.018873] Unknown kernel command line parameters "%OPTIONS%", will be passed to user space.

But it seems like everything is working OK, similar to my installed system without the iso snapshot.

As a comparison, on my antiX21 system with the 6.1 liquorix kernel after iso snapshot and live usb maker, I did not get any of these error messages during boot of the live system of the snapshot. In the boot menu, for options in that system, it had
audit=0 intel_pstate=disable hpet=disable rcupdate.rcu_expedited=1

I think having too many of those resource indicators on icewm can be confusing – 4 little black boxes? Ideally 2 would be perfect (one for networks, another for system resources like RAM and CPU). My advice? Eliminate the RAM indicator by default. Users want it, probably are advanced enough to know how to enable that – and all that info is already on Conky, right?”

Those IceWM indicators are customizable. I suggest that we leave them alone; those who know how to add or remove them can modify the IceWM configuration files.

@sasa_ – that’s bad news.
Seems like the newer mesa stack in testing/bookworm will make some old hardware obsolete as we feared.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

re: Pipewire in 23.

In order to get Pipewire to run, I need to boot to runlevel 3 (command prompt). I have looked at bitjam’s post (thanks Xunz_23) and searched online without finding anything that works.

From the grub menu, I can’t get to a line by line that includes an obvious (to me) place to type “3” or “runlevel 3” or “telinit 3”.

Just running those from a grub prompt doesn’t change anything.

From the running live system in graphic mode (runlevel 5), sudo telinit 3 is unrecognized.

**PROBABLY because this is runit NOT sysvinit??

So I looked up runit and runlevels. I discover that you need to generate a new directory for runlevel 3. I tried running the command to change from the default (running Xorg) level to the single level, but that didn’t switch me to a command prompt.

If this alpha simply doesn’t allow a boot to command prompt, then I will create the script and modify the /dome/demo/.profile in the running graphic system and then remaster.

It would be easier if I could just learn how to get this to boot to runlevel 3/command prompt…

Further help appreciated.

P.S. thanks anticapitalista. I just deleted the libelogind0 package as elogind itself wasn’t installed. But I didn’t think to purge.
Since libseat1 isn’t installed by default, I assume it may not be required for seatd to work?
P.P.S. to olsztyn – libpipewire is installed in the alpha, but not other pipewire packages. They are in the antix-testing repository.

Just a tiny thing: volumeicon forgets setting after reboot.
Whether simply muted, or adjusted up or down, after reboot it goes back to 80%.
(I installed to hdd, so it should remember.)

And it appears to me not only Xorg is using more memory, but many other pieces of infrastructure, including IceWM. All just a little bit more, such as 1 or 2 Mb more per component, but it adds up.

I think I was able to identify another culprit for increased memory footprint of antiX 23…
Namely very recently (a few days ago) there was an upgrade in SID of ntp from 4.2.8p15+dfsg-1.0antix1 to 4.2.8p15+dfsg-2~1.2.2+dfsg1-1.0nosystemd1. This update also entailed installation of:
-ntpsec
-ntpsec-ntpdate
-ntpsec-ntpdig
-python3-ntp
Also entaled the update of ntpdate

Following this upgrade of ntp (and installation of the above components such upgrade entailed) the memory footprint of antiX in SID was increased by about 12Mb.
This upgrade of ntp expectedly found it’s way into antiX 23, which currently reflects the new version of ntp, causing memory footprint of antiX 23 to be increased by corresponding about 12M.

So my question is: Was this expected and do we need such change from one version of antiX-mofified component to another version of antiX-modified component, causing a significantly larger memory consumption?

I thought volume was set on a config file somewhere to a fixed value, at boot, 65% I think- this has been this way ever since I started using antiX.
If am right, we can solve this easily – record the volume to file on ~/.config and have a tiny script running at startup that reads from that config file and sets the volume to the same level it was before last shutdown…

Since app-select is an excellent app, but takes, on old devices, quite some time to load, maybe Package Installer can feature alternativez, like a Rofi packaged with a .desktop file that starts a nice GUI to perform app searches, xfce’s app launcher, etc…
When I first started working on FT10, the first versions used rofi scrips to perform app searches and file searches (by name)

I really like the new wallpaper.

Connman Glitches

When on the dialog to enter my wifi passphrase, the dialog is too narrow to show all of the content. In particular, the Cancel button at the bottom is only half there (captured on . A piece of label near WISPr mid-dialog is also truncated. The user should not need to scroll horizontally to use a dialog this size. The same thing happens on another laptop with 1366×768 (Thinkpad X230). The dialog in question is only 400px wide, so it should fit easily, at least in the horizontal direction.

I also have trouble with the Connman System Tray not wanting to Minimize; nothing seems to happen after clicking the Minimize button on the bottom right. If I instead choose Exit, it will exit but I am still working on a sequence of events to reliably reproduce this one.

Here are some specs from these two machines and a screenshot of the Connman dialog that is too narrow.

A really well done look together with the wallpaper.In time running it from live usb with persist-all.antiX23 runs fast and stable (as always).

Especially nice is that it is finally possible to use bluetooth for audio playback without installing the cumbersome pulseaudio.Installing pipewire made this possible now in bookworm.
I first tried this with bluez-alsa-utils, which is installed by default, but /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.bluealsa.service does not exist.
bluez-alsa-utils contains only systemd service file.
After a lot of experimenting with creating runit service files, i decided to try pipewire which can be started from autostart and does not need an init.
And pipewire until now works perfect.Just listening to my bluetooth speaker sound from firefox.
I’m going install to harddrive now for further exploration. Many thanks for this beautiful and reliable OS.

@Christophe, isn’t the start_sound_level tightly configured in desktop-session-conf ?

@Sasa, For those who have the green screen until now they all had nvidia cards, did you try to boot with boot parameters like
xorg=nouveau nouveau.modeset=1

Also, there’s a tiny useful tool “add-desktop” that is rendered almost useless – it allows to do stuff some users want, when they install binaries in not .deb package – create a menu entry for it!
This script allows to create a .desktop file in a GUI way and also offers to place it in the manual- the .desktop is created, but placed in ~/.local/share/applications/custom/
First of all, I think it would be logical for desktop-menu –write-out-global to check that folder for .desktop files too, right? Secondly- it that’s too hard to implement – simply make it’s desktop file launch “add-desktop” in sudo mode and allow it to create the .desktop to be placed in the menu in the /usr/share/applications folder… Or better yet, link .desktop files from ~/.local/share/applications/custom/ to that folder, so users can delete them without the need for elevated privileges.
I tested, and this tool does not add anything to the desktop – when that option is selected- I’ll try to take a look at it’s code, but it seems like a good idea that was not completely finished – yes, it creates .desktop files, but does not do with them what it should (make they appear in the Applications menu or int the Desktop icons).

I can envision a tool that, like my FT10 to manage toolbar icons, uses our excellent app-select too to select applications and allows users to: add those icons to the toolbar, to the desktop (if desktop icons are available in the current desktop) or… as quick-launchers on the first layer of the menu. This literally allows users to place any icon anywhere they like, without having to edit a single config file (it’s a step beyond the current Toolbar Icon Manager for IceWM and can potentially be used in all 3 window managers (well, the toolbar part would not work in fluxbox)

@ PPC
I have updated add-desktop a while back for some of these concerns.
for the */custom; as noted desktop-menu does not look there so I had removed the /custom addition: https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/add-desktop-antix/-/commit/d3441369012586102300c75bd2ee3ed528dd2aaf
This also only applies if you remove the symlink (~/.WM/menu-applications) and update the menu. Which is why there is an update menu button which does not use sudo; but maybe this should be a control centre option that would let you choose: 1) keep the symlink (automatic menu update with apt hook). 2) remove the symlink and regenerate the menu (manual update). After option two the user would need to remember to regenerate the menu after installing an app or updating. This could also be added to the session startup if /usr/share/applications had an update (see: /usr/local/lib/desktop-menu/desktop-menu-apt-update for the logic to do this) and be called option 3) remove the symlink and regenerate the menu (automatic on startup)
for the app-select plugin: https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/add-desktop-antix/-/commit/413de85e3fba872ad36b45003f18622314e58b0c
for adding the plugin (symlink) to app-select;
under /usr/lib/app-select/plugins/ make a symlink to /usr/local/bin/add-desktop: https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/app-select-antix/-/tree/master/plugins
edit /usr/share/app-select/app-select.conf (~/.config/app-select.conf): https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/app-select-antix/-/blob/master/app-select.conf
Note: The newest version of app-select in the repo should have the plugin in place already but add-desktop may need to be updated.

Also the add-desktop “Add to desktop” option simply places the .desktop file in ~/Desktop. So the option should work under zzzfm but not rox. I did make a script to add the desktop item to the Rox desktop but it was too clunky for my liking and I did not finish it.

BobC also did some work on this idea and was making apps work as plugins for app-select. One of these was a modified version of the script I had started that would add icons to the Rox Desktop.
https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/app-select-plugins-antix/-/tree/master/

As to quick links in the root menu, this was the idea behind the “Personal” submenu. This is also in add-desktop and can be done through an app-select plugin.

Along the lines of the root menu, I had also started to make a new python version of the desktop-defaults-set script and was looking at making an app-select plugin subroutine in the new script so that you could right click on a program in app-select and set it as a default. :https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/desktop-defaults-antix/-/blob/master/bin/desktop-defaults-set.py

Also to note there are some features in app-select that may not be known (except to a select few) such as the plugins. Have a look at app-select –help; there is a desktop mode option which keeps it loaded (-d), another to select and return information on an app (-s), and another to get information from a particular .desktop file (-i file.desktop).

I went to it’s github and tried to install it, but I ran into an error – I can try to replicate this funcionality with a yad script – to allow users to easily add/remove stuff from antiX’s startup in GUI mode – this is an advanced feature, but some users may require it and not feel confortable with editing a config file- it’s not an essential tool, but it’s something that used to ship with antiX, so, I think it could be something worth re-adding… (Or maybe Dave can adadpt that script?)

P.

The original version used yad. I had changed it to python.
I am not sure which version you have found, but I believe the most recent is in my gitlab: https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/add-start-antix

The most glaring issue at the moment (though I have not looked in a while) is that it does not consider ~/.desktop-session/startup; only considering the per window manager startup files. However I do have some additional edits in my local git that seem to have a head start on this. It does not appear to be complete but simply adds a switch button below the “Changing startup for: WM” message to switch between session startup and window manager startup.
