      I thought you reinstalled antiX-17.3.1.
      If so, do what was suggested in this post

      antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

        the strange thing is that by eliminating the residual configuration of udev this has happened, even without having udev installed

          As mentioned before, I have two substantially identical installations of Antix17 on two different computers.
          The computer (Dell D620), with most recent system updates, gets stuck at the login screen.
          So, last night, I decided to make an ISO of from my functional computer (eeepc900) to install on the non-working box.

          (I had written out the long story. But decided to shorten it.)

          The eeepc SSDrive apparently has some bad blocks. So, that ISO was questionable.
          I did have a live USB which was not too far out of date, so re-installed from that.
          The D620 is back in business. The eeepc is working. I’m worried about the SSD.
          But that’s another story.

          Thanks to all for the help on this problem. I wish I knew what caused the login problem. But its nice to be beyond it now.

            After installing the system from the Live USB, all currently available updates (for already installed software) were also applied.
            The system boots up okay, with no login error.
            So, apparently, the eudev update was the issue, as capitalista had suspected.
            Thanks again.

                There are no residual udev config files to remove.

                    the bug is not the update of eudev, just do not remove udev residual configuration and everything works but I do not understand why since udev is not installed

                      If you really want to get rid of the residual udev do this in synaptic.

                      1. Remove udev
                      2. Reinstall eudev
                      3, In a root terminal, type update-rc.d udev defaults

                      This worked in my tests. YMMV
