My top 5 Issues post intallation of Antix and then 5 more.

[Member anti1alain]

HI guys, I’ve listed my specs to get help completing my install and getting this system functioning. I have listed the issues I’m having with hardware and software since my install. I’ve numbered my priorities:
1. Cd, dvd, not mounting or finding file. (I would like to include a screen shot of the error message, but I don’t know how on here)
2. Problems streaming music: StreamTuner2, or Poormanradio. (I also downloaded some apps thru package installer and manager and cannot find them) eg. SuperTuxCart not listed in my apps menu.
3. Not able to read cd pictures nor music. (See 1)
4. MPS youtube not working. (API issue; I checked some of this out and seems a little complicated with google and registering.) SMTube works; however to play videos or music I have to right click “read with: mpv + youtube-dl” I would like this to work by just clicking on the link.
5. Once I get most of these working how can I make them desktop short cuts? Easy for someone not used to computers : watch and manage pictures & listen to music.
6. Is there an automatic update manager?
7. What weather conky can I use on desktop?
8. Those are my main issues. The next 2 I might as well give my impressions so far.
9. Very speedy. As you can see by my specs this is a dinosaur desktop from the beginning of the new millenia. In comparing the WINXp OS to Antix OS on this machine I am amazed at how functional it has now become. Sorry for the rant, but I realize that some people and me prior to linux would stop using a computer or go and buy a new one because of the Windows bog down since it is just so long to boot and open windows and the apps and updates ahhh. So if I get all my issues resolved and I am sure I will: 3 thumbs up for Antix for old computers (which is the search term I used to find out about Antix).
10. Happy so far, works pretty well and lite for 512mb ram system. Still learning and playing around updating and configuring, Will use again on another machine.
Thank you.
