[Updated] HnossOS 23(Valhalla II) - MX LINUX VARIANT [Solved]

[rokytnji.1]

I liked it. Good job from this biker. Don't know why sound is muted. Figured it out on he Dell XT2 Touchscreen Wacom laptop. Sound came up when enabled pulse effects on startup. Then log back out and in to start it.
My Dell II chromebook sound did not come up no matter what I tried. Alsamixer is not installed?

I was trying this out as maybe using on the chromebook.
But I booted antiX 23.1 runit est iso and sound just works.
That will probably be installed on that chromebook since all that needs is a touchpad edit.
I am out in motorcycle shop now on my desktop box so that is my day for today.
Sorry. No inxi report <QSI> since the chromebook is put away, right now.
If you wish to see the inxi for antiX running on that chromebook

Really nice. I booted and really liked some of it's features. Right after I gave it the wifi password, I went to edit the wifi config and the laptop locked up for whatever reason. For some reason I was expecting pipewire but realized it wasn't. I've spent the last 3 years running MX and I have too much configured that works just right to reconfigure everything. I couldn't find the aps menu icon either in the very brief time I spent booted. Great work however. Why did you stay with pulse audio over pipewire?
As for the terminal fonts... I added this line, vt.cur_default=6 vt.color=2, to my boot options kernel parameters and now terminal has a nice green font instead of the boring b/w. Changing the parameters will give you a different cursor shape or font color, to a degree.
One other thing. If you select zram swap when installing, will it be configured and working at boot? If so that's a really nice feature that should be added to MX default.

@rokytnji.1 @davidy
At first, I write "how to create HnossOS (or your respin) by 10 steps" here as general reference.
(Maybe this post will works at create your respin)

1. Install MX or MX-minimum to test machine's SSD.
2. create user "demo" from root acount, and login to user demo.
3. install gufw and necessary minimum applications(Firefox, Lollypop etc.)
4. Boot animation folder put into /usr/share/plymouth, Bonus folder "hnoss" put into /usr
5. Additional Wallpapers and Author Attribution file put into /usr/share/backgrounds
6. Install window manager compiz and emelard themes, set window fade effects and mac like expose effects.
7. Adjust 1st panel settings, 2nd panel settings (Transparent Appication manager).
8. Run MX updater, Install MX-ahs Kernel from MXPI, then delete previous kernel.
8. Press Ctrl+H and /home/demo* copy into the /etc/skel from root account. Carefully create License description.
10. login to demo, create ISO by MX-snapshot as "reset account(for distro)". done.

...
Its very simple process.
I'm not modified MX Initial settings. so AS-IS MX-23.
I'm satisfied with the MX23 functions and don't feel need to change it.
The same applies to about pipewire. pipewire also improve sound quality.

@asqwerth may know more about zram swap can be used in MX23.

Alsamixer may not have been installed.
The sounds was heard on my test device Ultrabook (Intel J4115 Gemini Lake).

I tried various kernels, but I think the antiX Kernel was the best in many ways.
I gave priority to ahs, but perhaps antiX Kernel might be better.

[asqwerth]

No, I don't know anything about zram.

[davidy]

No one knows anything about zswap but in the Hnoss live boot iso installer gui under Services there is an unchecked entry justy for that. I had zswap configured and enabled a couple kernels ago (I'm on liqourix in 21.3), and I even saw an entry in the MX Service Mgr gui that said it was working and enabled. I'm on 6.6.7-1 now and had to (try) and reconfigure it. Says it's enabled but the MX Services mgr entry is now gone. At least I'm hibernating OK, and that's with coreboot under sysvinit.

HnossOS's system is not MX23, is MX-base23(dolphin_oracle's respin).
Perhaps there are difference in system settings, not just fewer apps.

What I can say is that I tried to change the system settings as little as possible.

Perhaps the phenomenon is also reproduced in MX-base.

[davidy]

That's good to know.
