Hello everyone! I have installed antiX 19 in two laptops (one in VM the other on hard disk) and after the GRUB menu I get a few seconds with the usual cascading text and then at least 2 minutes with a black screen (just a static cursor at the top) and then the OS starts ok (I have selected autologin during installation) and works fine. Initially I thought something went wrong with the installation on the first laptop and so installed on the second one in real hardware, using the i386 iso in both and checked the integrity of the iso. This issue results in total boot time of 3 mins! Any thoughts? Thanx

In this thread two users (andfree and AlexZaz) came to the conclusion, that if they start their system without an ethernet cable connected and wifi turned off,
the delay does not appear.
Might worth a try for helping to find the culprit.caprea

Might worth a try for helping to find the culprit.I can confirm what andfree and AlexZaz observed: I get the black screen only when ethernet and/or wifi connection is on before shutting down. My solution on the laptop with real hardware installation was to update kernel to 5.2 and everything is ok now (boots normally even with ethernet/wifi on). BUT on the laptop with virtuabox installation this fix didn’t work. Even tried to switch to wicd and uninstall connman but ended up with a system that wicd shows connection is ok but I cannot connect to internet?!
By the way, I cannot make the connman monitor icon to show at taskbar from startup. Went to CC>User desktop-session>startup and connman-gtk is uncommented…

5.2.21 kernel didn’t fix the issue on the Presario (celeron) laptop, and it caused a kernel panic to the Satellite (P4) laptop. But 4.4.200 kernel seems to have fixed it for me on both laptops. No virtuabox installation on any of them. Thanks for the idea to try a different kernel.

that’s a bug – it should read cmst (the qt version of connman-gtk)
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Thank you very much.
