I have been trying to install antiX 17 and when I try to login I get No directory, logging in with HOME=/ the first time I thought it would get fixed after I installed the desktop environment but that didn’t help and I have tried both the net and core install. any ideas how to fix the home directory? also having trouble with links for Computer and Trash not sure but here is the message i get “could not display “computer:///”. caja cannot handle computer locations” anyone have that issue after installing net or core? this is a mate desktop setup i followed dolphin_oracle’s videos.

Are you able to install? Is the problem after you install? Did you set up a username when requested? Have you checked that the iso is ok? etc etc

here is more info yes it is a good copy yes i set up user name i am able to login and i was able to install mate as desktop but only on the root partition was my /home.
i had it setup as a separate /root /swap /home partition it is a asus laptop k53f intel hardware i am going to try 16 and see if i am getting the same issue there.

If you are using the cli installer and have /home on a separate partition then you may have to manually edit /etc/fstab (as root) and make sure there is an entry there for your /home partition.

yes i am i will try that
ok i installed 16 same issue as 17 checked /etc/fstab and it was incorrect but there in 16 i was able to edit 16’s entry and it seemed to work. i uninstalled 16 and installed 17 and in 17 there is not an entry for /home at all in /fstab. so got to go to work now will try to edit /fstab when i get back. thanks for the help

That’s an easy step to forget, but once you install or upgrade a few versions, it’ll be something you check consistently. 🙂

I confirm that there is a problem with the cli-installer when choosing a separate /home.
I’ll try and find a fix.If you choose not to have a separate /home partition, then the installation works.

Hello! Installed AntiX 17×64. I did not create a separate branch, I decided to ask a question here.
Help configure the wired network through ceni. I install all the data in static-manual – there is no Internet.
Configuration: Acer Aspire 5100 AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL50 2x1600Mhz RAM 4 Gb
Card-1 Realtek RTL-8100 / 8101L / 8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Sorry for bad English – Google-translator from Russian.ok adding an entry for the /home in fstab fixed that issue. i have never had to do that before.

That’s because you found a bug in our cli-installer.

Here is another screenshot of AntiX 17 x64 Core with XFCE4 Installed, and a list of packages installed. Its been too long so I can’t edit the post above.

Thank you sincerely BobC. I’ve been prepping to build up from net to a lean XFCE this week, and your pkglist is going to save me some grief I’m sure.
Best,

PS: Do you know if I can rip out udev and drop in eudev as a straight-up replacement? I notice on some versions of the base and full, both are present. (So I’d guess I need udev in any case, with eudev being optional … but I don’t know for sure without testing.)
PPS: Which repos do you track? I was headed for testing, left to my own devices, but I sometimes listen to wise advice.
