Hello,

[Member arm45]

Greetings to everyone.

As systemd irks me I’ve been looking into systemd-free Linux variants and found my way here.

Antix looks lean; I like lean.

Now I’m looking into why Flashpeak’s Slimjet has no sound, I see strange things apparently involved in that.

I tried your suggestion with the exception that I was already in /opt/slimjet when I entered apulse flashpeak-slimjet

The results were very similar to previous experiences on entering ./flashpeak-slimjet

The apparently most significant output to terminal on entering that was

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:287:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_equal.so ((null):

although why that error when both .so files were in place (with apparent proper permissions) is a curiosity.

I just tried on a live-stick and got the same error messages like you.
This workaround still works for me and sound is there on slimjet. You might want to give it a try.

I tried installing pulseaudio, then issued pasuspender — /usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet –alsa-output-device=hw:0,1.

No sound.
I then uninstalled pulseaudio

I’ll look a little deeper but I’m beginning to think of abandoning Slimjet.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome arm45. Can’t help with Slimjet. Used it in antiX-17 32-bit but haven’t used it recently and never in 64-bit.

There other light weight browsers. Look in the Package Installer off the Control Centre. I use Chromium and SeaMonkey mostly.

Arm45,

Do you have sound in your antiX?

Can you hear music from a video file, audio file, or sound from a YouTube video with the web browser?

If you are not getting sound, you may need to go to Menu, Applications, Multimedia, Alsa, press the F6 key and select your sound card. Control the volume and access the options using the arrow keys.

I wish I could help you, but unfortunately I have no experience with Slimjet, what I can do is remind you that it might be something simple that we sometimes forget to check.

I hope that other people can help you.

Arm45,

Você possui som no seu antiX?

Você consegue ouvir música de um arquivo de vídeo, de áudio ou o som de um vídeo do YouTube com o navegador de internet?

Se você não estiver obtendo o som, talvez seja necessário você acessar o Menu, Aplicações, Multimídia, Alsa, pressione a tecla F6 e selecione a sua placa de som. Controle o volume e acesse as opções utilizando as teclas direcionais (arrow keys).

Eu gostaria de poder te ajudar, mas infelizmente eu não possuo experiência com o Slimjet, o que eu posso fazer e lembrá-lo de que pode ser algo simples que às vezes nos esquecemos de verificar.

Eu espero que outras pessoas possam te ajudar.

Hello Marcelo,

Thank you for your reply and offer of help.

I really like Antix’s sparse nature and the way it supports my favorite DM (LXDE) but circumstances have me returning to MXLinux.

I’ll check in every now and then.

Again, thanks.

Alan

I like MX Linux too; I use MX Linux AND antiX AND other distros too! (Try it, you´ll like it) 🙂
