Liquorix 6 is what I’m running on my main intel skylake system. It’s from October 22. I noticed that there are now 2 newer ones available starting in the last week or so, but haven’t tried them yet. Is there a particular version you already have working well?
I think I’m going to switch it to my new theme and edge switching with the IceWM default 4 workspaces too. With edge switching on, it works real well.

This is crazy, I’m in the window manager and it’s only using 61mb of memory. I haven’t seen this small an amount for probably 10+ years (except for Tiny Core Linux). Before logging into the window manager it was only using 36mb. This is highly customized Gentoo kind of memory usage.

Nice! I guess you have just DWM, no other WMs?…

@olsztyn,
about your ‘startx’ problem
For starters, you should be able to do it with the command
/usr/bin/startx
try.As for their x61,
have you tried the kernel parameter ‘nomodeset‘ ?andyprough
I guess you have just DWM, no other WMs?
Yes, just antiX Core + those packages I showed you I used to build DWM + DWM + Pale Moon gtk2 browser. JWM could get you even lower, it seems to use a little less memory than DWM.
have you tried the kernel parameter ‘nomodeset‘ ?
This would be in reference to SID antiX (provided yesterday by BobC): nomodeset parameter does not seem to help. It appears the problem with getting to desktop is waiting on i915 driver loop. It is possible the Intel driver is not included in the ISO. The one mentioned by @Christophe in this thread.
I will try to break out of the loop to verify.Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):

Sorry.

Is this the same one you provided the link to ISO in this thread or another one?

https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_ParametersThat was why I made an ISO then. I’m not sure at what point it failed, but it was after that ISO was made and posted.
The sad part is that I got my changes made, and it failed at some point before I could make an ISO of them. It may have been caused by the liquorix kernel.

If I understand correctly that ISO would be the baseline to implement further changes, such as the Liquorix kernel. If your subsequent changes got corrupted then this could be recreated using that ISO, although understandably it means doing this over again, unfortunately.
I will try to check out that ISO tomorrow. I did some rudimentary functionality check but I have not checked Live-usb-maker yet.
Thanks again…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):
https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_ParametersIt looks like the problem is with live usb maker, because i burned the same iso again successfully this time to the same flashdrive while booted from an antiX 19.2 partition.
I had to remaster, though, so will need to do the process over after reinstalling and retesting.
IMO, I’ve got the IceWM setup looking real nice. I don’t know who has been maintaining the Fluxbox and JWM WM’s.
PS: I got it tested and the new ISO is uploading now.
The only thing odd about it is the USB boot screen seems to be showing the variable names of the distro name and options rather than the actual values. I’ve been backspacing out the options and typing in quiet then pressing enter, and that’s been working ok. The upload should be done within the next hour.

I think that whoever is using Fluxbox or JWM (like myself) is able to transfer his config of those WMs to this new antiX SID instance.
Another my very subjective comment is that IMHO the default login screen is pretty much ugly. For such reason of aesthetics I changed to Default, which looked much more presentable IMO. This is just very subjective opinion though…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):
https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_ParametersYes, I reduced it by 25%, and it looks better. I’m testing in 1440 x 900. The IceWM theme I worked from was the large one, and it looks a bit large, but not huge. If anti wants to use the setup, I will create the other size variations.
The upload completed, but its on a different PC. I’ll post the link here in a few minutes.

I may give the 6.0 one another try if I figure out what went wrong, but when I added the 2nd kernel, that was when things went awry on me. I had a devil of a time fixing it without synaptic.

I downloaded and briefly tested the new ISO. Just a few observations:
– IceWM looks nice in terms of theme (Blue day or something). One issue I noticed was that when setting desktop background to No Wallpaper, it resulted in light grey and collor picker did not work for me to change color. This was on my Thinkpad T410, 1440×900.
– The new ISO still failed booting to desktop on Thinkpad X61, apparently to not finding the right Intel driver and displaying messages in a loop.
– The initial boot fonts appear way too big, as I think Brian mentioned previously if I understood.Not further testing done as it is very late in the eveening and I think it is also late for you, so I will try to do more testing tomorrow.
Thanks very much…Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):
