SamK’s network-check-antix script also enabled OOTB and this detects the existence of a network or not.
Reporting on this. I tested it on ethernet connection, switching to ceni and it doesn’t load anything after restarting the session. I have yet to test it on wifi (connected or disconnected).
Related to this, and based on the results seen in this topic: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/incessant-er-periodic-rhythmic-neverending-network-activity/
I propose we replace other files (that would be placed in the corresponding folder for Build-iso (not sure if in Template/COMMON/squashfs or custom-config-file) which could reduce some of the scripts functions (and reduce some trouble in the future).
/var/lib/connman/settings would contain:
[global] OfflineMode=false TimeUpdates=manual TimezoneUpdates=auto [Wired] Enable=true Tethering=false [WiFi] Enable=true Tethering=falseThis does 2 things:
– Disable incessant ping-ing of connman trying to reach NTP servers every 3-5 seconds.
– Will fix the need to “enable” wifi manually in connman (part of the antix-wifi-script will be redundant after this).I consider it better to use a separate ntp program to constantly update date and time online (for example, separate package ntp) that would be more connection-manager agnostic, but I will write an entry in the wiki for those who want to use connman for this purpose (thanks to ModdIt for all the research behind the understanding of this feature).
Also, the file /etc/connman/main.conf, taking the default one as template and add at the beginning (or end)
PreferredTechnologies=ethernet,wifi
So that connman will always default to Ethernet if this is connected, instead of using wifi as default (current connman default) if available. This will fix the need to disable or disconnect from wifi for Ethernet to work (when Ethernet is already connected) [Also, thanks to ModdIt for researching into this issue].- This reply was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by Xecure.

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.Xecure
Does repo-manager use the flags from flags-common? Dependency is missing (meaning, the program works, but flags-common is not listed as a dependency).

First bug report (pretty important, I think).
New keyboard program system-keyboard-qt (and its dependency flags-common) will be removed from the system if antix-installer is uninstalled. It needs to be included in the list of installed packages fro base/full.
Fixed for alpha2

Thanks for confirming and for the fast response.
Suggestions:

They are gtk3 and add c.10MB extra RAM usage compared to roxterm-gtk2.
* 64 bit iso to ship with 2 kernels. One 4.9 (or 4.19) and the other a 5 series version.I think it is OK to include the new gtk3 version, but I will let the experts that maintain older hardware be the ones to comment.
About, the kernel. Is this table correct (https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html)?
I was going to suggest using 4.19 as default, and the recent 5.10 LTS for “newer kernel” version, but the site states that support for 5.10 is only until 2022, so is the 5.4 LTS the better one? Is something inherently broken on 5.10 or is this how it normally goes for Linux kernel development (they don’t call for an End Of Life until the next LTS is released)?Bullseye will be the new stable until June-July of 2023, and LTS until 2026. Kernel 4.9 will be supported until January 2023 (before the end of Bullseye “stable state”), so for better support I would suggest 4.19 (EOL Jan, 2024) as the default kernel for antiX 21.

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.Xecure
Bug(?): Ceni really slow scanning for wireless access points
State: Running live USB with persistence on a laptop.Connecting using cmst works perfectly. The first time cmst launches using the network-check-antix, even though Wifi is enabled, I need to disable and re-enable it, bt on my laptop cmst finds and connects to the Wireless Access Point correctly.
I disabled network-check-antix from startup and used the antiX wifi switch to connect to the wifi access point using ceni.
I get the interface selection in ceni, select my wlan0 interface, but then it gets stuck in “Scanning for wireless networks… Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant” for 5 minutes. It finally scans different access points and now I am connected with ceni.
Does anyone else experience this or is this only on my laptop?antiX Live system enthusiast.

proofreading, my own question here is confusing to me when I re-read it.The question insinuates that an accurate definitive reference does not currently exist ~~ I’m unsure that’s the case. I don’t know whether gazelle-installer actually displays “3.5” to the enduser. Regardless whether or not it does, ISTM the MIN_INSTALL_SIZE is a constant, hardcoded, minimum (applicable regardless which base/full edition is being installed). Separately, we have cli-installer requiring (or fail) 5GB, for full edition.

@skidoo – on building antiX-full, our build script says it will take up 3.5GB disk space.
For base it says that it will take up 2.7GB.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.Xecure
Could someone explain why calling the commands “service”, “say”, “cryptsetup” and “which” from these script in terminal works, but when called from .desktop-session/startup they are “not found”?
I tried using
bash -c "service virtualbox-guest-utils status"
for example, to try to go around the script, but this doesn’t work. Any suggestions?antiX Live system enthusiast.
General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.explain?
Howabout a nice “train of thought” instead?I have only encountered “say” as the name of a function, never as a freestanding executable command.
(also: qsay, psay, vsay)
That function is defined within one (or several) of the antiX utility “libraries” ~~ shell scripts which are intended to be sourced by/from other scripts rather than being executed directly.cd /usr/local && grep -nr ^say[\(]
^—v
.desktop-session/startup is/was never intended to be called directly, right?
If both the (conditionally selected) “startup” script and lib-desktop-session.sh are sourced by the /usr/local/bin/desktop-session script (I didn’t recheck the newest version of the startup script), the “say” function would be (and according to your report, is) callable from a line placed within the startup scriptfile.Within the “lib” scripts where the say function is defined, those function definitions are not exported (passed to subshells of child processes via environment variables) so are not visible from within the context of any child scripts (launched via lines added within the startup script).
a quickie reading list for bash export: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]
(related: bash “declare”)
export and declare are bash built-in commands. From a bash prompt, we can type:
help export
help declare> [say] when called from .desktop-session/startup [is] “not found”?
and, specific to “say”… your post accidentally lumped that example in with the others?
ISTM, we also should not expect it to be available (as a command) from terminal prompt.___________________________________
.> commands “service”, “cryptsetup” and “which” from scripts [launched via] terminal work,
> but when called from .desktop-session/startup they are “not found”?Sounds like the PATH envvar is being blanked/suppressed when the .desktop-session/startup child is called, right? This (mis)behavior you’re observing is something new, indicative of a bug/regression, right? (Asking because although I could help track down the bug, I’m at a loss to “explain” this misbehavior.)
