exec on root parition?

[Member PenguinGuy]

Is it normal to have the root partition mounted with exec?

I just noticed it’s not mounted with it & I’m curious if this is causing problems or if it was autchanged like some of my other drivers seem to automount (SpaceFM?) without exec.

skim the manpage for mount command and note the following implicit default options:
rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, async, and relatime

> it’s not mounted with it

Unless noexec has been explicitly specified, the implicit default option value was applied.

(consider: If the root partition had been mounted noexec, the system would not be able to perform /sbin/init …fall down, go BOOM)

Well, SpaceFM refused to mount my external partition with exec or allow me to setup NTFS-3G, so I used the disk manager tool in the Control Center. This apps seems better, but doesn’t list anything for the root partition.

Asking because I”m still getting weird file permission issues from the other thread. Like Peazip claimed the 7z.dll it needs was missing, but it’s clearly there in the folder.

Similarly, when I ran some Python scripts from a .sh they told me the commands in the folder don’t exist (yet it was clearly there) & I had to manually run it in the terminal (just copy & pasted the .sh).

Do you know if it is possible to upgrade my Kernel to the latest stable without breaking antiX (maybe they have better driver support from my ssd)?

Same as I suggested minutes ago in your trashbin topic: I suggest that you at least skim, if not READ, the spaceFM User Manual.
Understand that spaceFM is a file manager, it is not a mount manager. spaceFM relies on another program to handle any mount operations…

> ran some Python scripts from a .sh they told me the commands in the folder don’t exist

Check the python docs regarding PATH…

Pointless to wait for someone else to offer encouragement by stating (truthfully, yet non-definiitively) “yes, of course it’s possible”.
You must try it (on your machine, with your ??? model SSD) to find out.

You’re not understanding me. The mounting is clearly not the same.

It’s not a PATH issue.

I’m asking specifically of getting a Kernel that is not officially released with antiX (>5.10.57). Sure I could build my own distro if it required scripts or whatever to link it with the Kernel, but I”m asking how easy it is to just download & drop it in as it is now (I’m not trying to intentionally break my build).

You could install any liquorix kernel, or the latest stable from MX linux/Debian, and always go back to the previous is it doesn’t workout.

I am not sure if this will help with the specific issue, but installing kernels has never given me any irreversible problems. I once tried installing 5.X on a bit older machine, and couldn’t boot (kernel panic), but you simply select a different/older kernel from Grub’s advanced options, boot into a working system and uninstall the problematic kernel.

Well I had to install 5.10.57 for antiX to recognize my SSD, otherwise I wouldn’t bother uprgrading the kernel (but I figure it’s an easy fix if it improves anything).

How would I install stable (5.14)?

I can’t find any MX Linux or Debian kernels for it — do I have to download an ISO & extract them or can I just download & install 5.14 from a site? Do I use a tool?
