Hi ile, you write
with libre office crashing+ upgrading, too much information,, it is time for a fresh install

Usually purging LO using apt will recover problems of the nature you have. LO Full can get pretty
messed up when you remove and replace single components.

Right now I am testing if the snapshot boots properly. But:
Is it normal that the Boot menu (UEFI boot) has:
Welcome to ISTRO(SCII_CODE_NAME!
as its title? I was hoping for at least “antiX snapshot (date)” as tittle. Is this normal? (snapshot tool was up to date, version 0.4.01, everything was up to date).

Confirmed.
Another question related to Uefi boot.
Are custom text menus when running live too small? (for both real metal and virtual hardware).

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

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

No. text menus for UEFI boot are big enough and perfectly readable, even on HiDPI displays.

I only have one HiDPI device (a cheap Chinese tablet).
I have uploaded a video with the boot process on UEFI boot, and you can see the text pretty well.
You can even see the autoscale-antix script run and re-scale the screen (and also see the new network-check-antix make the cmst gui pop up, but this tablet needs at least kernel 4.19 for wifi to work, so it is empty; ignore this isue).

EDIT: also on UEFI boot on VM the text is big enough and readable.

hello anticapitalista

screenshot
custom area and full screen bring screenshot taken and dialog above other windows, good.
Window selection brings screenshot and dialog lower than window, hidden.

feh
image open in feh 3.6.2-1.0antix1
right-click in feh window closes feh, that is not right.(?) buster too.

please join in a sympathetic funny,
leafpad printpreview is generated into Draw,
in the Draw menu is “Preview in Web Browser” that is the funny part,
when in fact the Print button on the Draw menu opens a dialog with a preview shown (clickbox Preview)

printing
for image printing need browser or, geeqie, LXimage,

Forgot my usb drive is 64 bit full iso. Inserted it in single core atom netbook.

Discovered turn off button does not work but OK does. Still had to hard shutdown anyhows.

This is for the gui window that pops up when you have architecture mismatch.
Like 64 bit pendrive install on a 32 bit system.

I used the arrow key to scroll the choices.. Enter key when I wanted to depress the button.

Zoom install from package-installer seems to install but doesn’t appear on menu afterwards.

Zoom doesn’t run. I ran it from a terminal and it looks like a shared library is missing:

I did try the reinstall option, but it still didn’t appear on the menu or run.

$ zoom
ZoomLauncher started.
Zoom path is: /opt/zoom
cmd line:
CreateReportChannel bp_server_fd=4
$HOME = /home/demo
Can’t load/home/demo/.config/zoomus.conf
export SSB_HOME=/home/demo/.zoom; export QSG_INFO=1; export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zoom; export BREAKPAD_CLIENT_FD=3; /opt/zoom/zoom “”
/opt/zoom/zoom: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-xtest.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
success to create child process,status is 32512.
zoom exited normally.
Something went wrong while running zoom,exit code is 127.
ZoomLauncher exit.

I tried to install Skype via the package installer and it gets stuck trying to install with no error messages.

I will try to investigate the Skype and Zoom install problems myself.

I tried to install Skype via the packageinstaller

Unless the alpha is shipping a doctored version of packageinstaller, and I have not heard that is the case… I recall similar problem(s) related to packageinstaller were reported last go ’round, when testing beta19 releases.

Right now, during the debian freeze, this may not be the cause of BobC’s zoomstuff failure, but…

consider:
As needed, packageinstaller temporarily enables, and downloads packages from, “testing” repository.
From the point-of-view of that same version of packaginstaller, when launched _as_intended_ from antix19, “testing”==”bullseye”
vs
when run on the next-gen alpha (or beta) system, “testing” == ???

Maybe packageinstaller should be modified so that it checks lsb-release and refuses to run if “alpha” or “beta” are found in the release name.

BobC, you should check the folder /usr/share/packageinstaller-pkglist/ to see the installation procedure for different applications.
Also, I wouldn’t consider debugging the package installer until testing goes into “freeze” mode, as packages are constantly changing, and any fixes could not work on the next update.

For your particular cases:
Zoom properly installs and launches if you manually change a bit of the installation instructions.
Open as root /usr/share/packageinstaller-pkglist/zoom64.pm and replace the corresponding lines so they look like:

<preinstall>
wget https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb
</preinstall>

<install_package_names>
./zoom_amd64.deb
</install_package_names>

Which would both add zoom to the menu and automatically download the dependencies.
For skype (/usr/share/packageinstaller-pkglist/skype.pm), exactly the same:

<preinstall>
wget https://repo.skype.com/latest/skypeforlinux-64.deb
</preinstall>

<install_package_names>
./skypeforlinux-64.deb
</install_package_names>

<postinstall>
rm skypeforlinux-64.deb
</postinstall>

(I will make a git merge request to https://gitlab.com/antiX-Linux/packageinstaller-pkglist with the fixes)

Back to bullseye testing.
NOTE: Does the new geany version require new menu icons? I see a large triangle pointing down from different top menu entries, that I didn’t see before in geany (buster edition has smaller triangles pointing down).

Normal frugal install, with persistence, works perfectly. I have been playing for the last hour on real hardware, and persistence works perfectly, remastering works, live-kernel updater works as intended, all this OK.

Frugal install onto an existing encrypted partition

I was going to do this on real hardware, but this requires a boot partition, which I don’t have right now on any of my devices. Do you mind if I test this on a VM instead? What kind of encryption should I select/test (the installer lets me select different encryption methods, should I test the default)?

Has anyone else installed the alpha on VirtualBox (without autologin)? I think the change I added to autoscale-antix is broken, and logs me out just after login me in. I then need to re-login to enter the desktop session.
If someone else can confirm, I will change the code and remove the restart-session command. I added this line previously to reposition the conky and rescale the wallpaper, but it is preferable to have it look ugly than to have you log out each new boot on VBox.

PS: I tried installing encrypted, but then I wasn’t able to unlock the encrypted partition. I followed dolphin_oracle’s video, but installed on a VM (Legacy boot, non-uefi), and after installation I don’t get prompt to enter the password. I will try again later with EFI boot instead.
