antiX-17.3.1_386-base frugal installation:
When booting into the rox-icewm desktop, I intermittently get the message in the attached image. When I get this message the desktop looks normal most of the time. Once, most of the icons were missing and I had to Restart Session.$ inxi -Fxz System: Host: antix1 Kernel: 4.9.152-antix.1-686-smp-pae i686 bits: 32 compiler: gcc v: 6.3.0 Desktop: IceWM 1.4.2 Distro: antiX-17.3.1_386-base Helen Keller 27 December 2018 base: Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) Machine: Type: Portable System: Dell product: Inspiron 6000 v: N/A serial: <filter> Mobo: Dell model: 0J5165 serial: <filter> BIOS: Dell v: A09 date: 09/28/2005 Battery: ID-1: BAT0 charge: 40.5 Wh condition: 42.4/73.3 Wh (58%) model: Sony DELL 00 status: Charging CPU: Topology: Single Core model: Intel Pentium M bits: 32 type: MCP arch: M Dothan rev: 8 L2 cache: 2048 KiB flags: nx pae sse sse2 bogomips: 3989 Speed: 2000 MHz min/max: 800/2000 MHz Core speed (MHz): 1: 2000 Graphics: Device-1: Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics vendor: Dell driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 Display: server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: intel resolution: 1280x800~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 915GM x86/MMX/SSE2 v: 2.1 Mesa 13.0.6 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: Intel 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW AC97 Audio vendor: Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop driver: snd_intel8x0 v: kernel bus ID: 00:1e.2 Sound Server: ALSA v: k4.9.152-antix.1-686-smp-pae Network: Device-1: Broadcom Limited BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX vendor: Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop driver: N/A port: bfa0 bus ID: 03:00.0 Device-2: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network driver: ipw2200 v: 1.2.2kmprq port: bfa0 bus ID: 03:03.0 IF: eth0 state: down mac: <filter> Drives: Local Storage: total: 37.26 GiB used: 12.93 GiB (34.7%) ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: Seagate model: ST940815A size: 37.26 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 1.91 GiB used: 255.1 MiB (13.1%) fs: overlay source: ERR-102 ID-2: swap-1 size: 1.99 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sda5 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 52.0 C mobo: N/A sodimm: 35.0 C Fan Speeds (RPM): cpu: 2602 Info: Processes: 121 Uptime: 1h 30m Memory: 1.96 GiB used: 377.4 MiB (18.8%) Init: SysVinit runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 6.3.0 Shell: bash v: 4.4.12 inxi: 3.0.29Attachments:

Change Startup_Delay from default “2” (secs) to “5” (or longer)
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
I had previously changed Startup_Delay to 3 and then 4 seconds before I put it back to 2 and asked for help. Thanks for the input. I will change it to 5 and keep bumping it up if necessary until problem is resolved.
Even after changing Startup_Delay to 5 seconds and disabling auto_login I would still periodically have issues at boot. At times the system tray would appear in the upper left corner by itself instead in the task bar at the lower right hand corner.
I was really reluctant to continue increasing Startup_Delay. As it turns out, one of the applications I had installed using Synaptic was ClamTk. This installation added clamav-freshclam to Startup Services and according to the freshclam log file immediately tried to access the web to update antivirus signatures, even before ceni could connect the PC to my network. I rarely use ClamTk and certainly do not need automatic antivirus signature updates like this, so I used antiX Control Center to disable this service and configured ClamTk for manual signature updates. I also re-enabled auto_login and reduced Startup_Delay to the default 2 seconds. I have not had any problems in the past two weeks since these changes.
