New install: No sound, bluetooth or battery level

[Member juustonaksu]

Hello to the antiX-forum and thank you to the makers of this lightweight linux, which I think will bring this old tablet (linx7) being useful again.

Few problems, which I cant get my head around after a day of searching, installing and reinstalling:
– No sound.
– No bluetooth.
– No battery level indication.

These all work with MX Linux straight out of the box with no setting up, so it shouldn’t be a big problem?

I did the “inxi -zv7” on both antiX and MX:

Any tips or suggestions?

I notice MX uses a different kernel here. Bluetooth is very kernel dependend. Since the 10.0.142 was known to make some trouble already not only in antiX, you could install just for testing a 5.19.0-0.deb11.2…(signed) default debian kernel from the backports along with its headers, which is most recent one available in the repos by now.

sudo apt update
apt-cache search linux- | grep 5.19.0 | grep -v unsigned | grep -v rt-

Select the appropriate kernel and header package both according to your system and install it:
sudo apt install <kernel-package> <header-package>
Make sure to use identical versions of image and header packages. If you are on a live system or frugal install, you’ll need to Live remaster and then Live kernel update (Both available from antiX control center) to see the effect.

The kernel will probably show up like something like 5.19.11-1~bpo11+1, it is only available from the backports repo. There is a slight chance that might fix your issue. If so, or you find another kernel working for you, please attach a full sudo dmesg output taken immediately after the system starts from both kernels, the one working and the 5.10.142 one not working, so there is a chance to fix it.

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

Great comparison between the kernels.

Please keep in mind that antiX has some of the old kernels around in order to help retain support for really old hardware.

All Linux kernels do have a really long support life, but a few times in the past 5-10 years the Linux kernels have dropped support for some of the really old systems and added a lot of additional support for newer hardware.

When they do so, they do their best to utilize usage and popularity statistics for choosing what to keep and what to replace; it’s not a “perfect” art and the ones removed can sometimes be the ones we use; therefore the antiX distribution retains a few old kernels as long as possible.

You’re free to run whatever kernel works best for you! I run standard kernels on some of my systems especially the oldest ones but as you can see from my personal ‘What are you here with?” thread, on one of my systems I HAVE to use another kernel and drag in wireless network firmware and related kernel modules to allow me to use the network; that’s crucial because I discovered that my community — both the senior complex where I live and the local library — have dropped Ethernet ports and only offer WiFi now!

That means that out of the box wireless network support for my systems is crucial; otherwise I have to copy libraries and modules from one system to another over USB because I don’t have any other networking alternatives left!

Anyway, use whatever kernels work best; there’s no animosity I know of for doing so; it can be a bit more work but the results are a beautiful, efficient system!

Yes! antiX is now running ‘5.19.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 x86_64’ -kernel and I got instantly working bluetooth and battery status after reboot.

Only the sound is missing from internal soundcard “Test failed, can’t connect to device”. But I’ll need to try Pulse and install Jack to get low latency trough usb-interface, which did work with Alsa.

Thanks for the help!

Our pulse/apulse configuration is usually pretty efficient and effective but sometimes you have to augment it or replace it with something else IF it doesn’t work with your hardware.

That’s the good thing about antiX and Linux in general; you can start with the leanest, most efficient software, but if needed you can get a substitute or a replacement if the defaults don’t work.

While we can’t officially support stuff we don’t include, we do have a good community that generally is helpful.

Best wishes!
