I have a fresh antiX frugal install up and running that mirrors much of the basic configuration of my MX install and it all went mostly smoothly. I still have small differences in the way zsh handles the keyboard in antiX but that is a minor inconvenience. I have adapted the iceWM menu and defined my keyboard shortcuts, that’s all fine and dandy. And the apps I’ve installed (not many so far) do work as they do under MX.
There’s one thing though that I just can’t get to work and that is my iptables setup. This works flawlessly in MX but it simply won’t load in antiX. The offending lines are these:
-A INPUT -m conntrack –ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -m conntrack –ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
The error for both is “iptables: Protocol wrong type for socket.”
I have googled left and right but none of the solutions I found worked (and some were above my head, I’m afraid). Has anyone got an idea why this works under MX but refuses to load under antiX? (MX has iptables 1.6.1, antiX has 1.6.0 but I do not think that is an issue here.)
