Support for MX and antiX Linux distros

Just so you know, there's a typo in the release announcement page regarding the base's .ISO size where reads 7000 MB instead of 700MB, I know people will probably catch on that just like I did but still.anticapitalista wrote: Wed Oct 16, 2019 7:45 pm Full announcement to come, but for the early birds, antiX-19 is here!

Enjoy!

BTW, is there an upgrade path from antiX 19.b3 to 19 final?
Both conman and ceni are the default network connection manager on base editions?Connect to the net with:
* connman – *NEW* default on full and base editions
* gnome-ppp – for those still on dial-up
* ceni – default for core and base editions

Since core does not have an X server why should it have fonts for X? It seems reasonable that if someone wants to install a X server then they should also install fonts for it. Am I missing something?rasat wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2019 4:49 amIn core there is a missing font package.

This is a problem when you build your system from scratch (or from core). IMO weighing down core with X fonts is not a good solution to this problem. Perhaps we can have something in the package installer that makes it easy to remember and install the Dejavu fonts or perhaps we could bundle them in when the X server is installed.rasat wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2019 5:28 am With core, after installing large number of software (xorg, Gnome, Libreoffice, Scribus, Dolphin, Gimp, etc.), which add many type of fonts, it will be difficult to realise that there is a missing font package (causing character error). Didn't expect Dejavu, which supposed to be auto installed by other graphic packages. Or, why should a system be depend on Dejavu when xorg is installed??
I have made lots of additions to the suggested/gui file in the latest version. But no fonts (yet)BitJam wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2019 6:30 am
Oh. We should probably add this to our command line package installer, cli-aptiX. ...
Excellent! Maybe we could add a 3rd x-server.list suggestion file.anticapitalista wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2019 7:01 amI have made lots of additions to the suggested/gui file in the latest version. But no fonts (yet)
I guess if you still have eth0, wlan0 etc. it should be ok.ceni is dead, can't handle the new device naming scheme.

This can happen if you don't set the time correctly on the system (live or not). The system thinks the updates are in the future. Unfortunately, due to a horrendous bug in the kernel we leave ntpd disabled on the live system so you need to set the time manually. Or you could try again in 5 hours.namida12 wrote: Thu Dec 19, 2019 3:10 pm Can't use synaptic in live mode?

I can't tell for sure from the inxi -F output if you booted UEFI (others might be able to).

This confirms what JayM saw in your inxi output (reading comprehension fail on my part). You booted the live system in Legacy (BIOS) mode. This makes it impossible to install in UEFI mode. Our live system supports secure boot, in case that helps. You may need to change the boot mode from Legacy BIOS to UEFI in order to boot the live system in UEFI so you can then install UEFI.namida12 wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2019 1:03 amCode: Select all

Seems like you are running live with persistence (which makes the RAM use even more impressive). Frugal or on a usb device?Moltke wrote: Sat Dec 28, 2019 8:00 pm antiX 19 on KDE's plasma desktop; 352mb on boot! It runs smoothly, guys on KDE community are doing good.

On a usb device with static persistence. Yes, indeed. I thought of trying given all the fuss on the web about plasma been lighter and so far I'm really impressed the way it behaves and response; fast! In the past I avoided it because 1, it was too heavy and 2, I found it overwhelming and tiresome with so many options, menus and sub-menus to do simple tasks but that's changed as well, it still requires some learning but it seems to me to a lesser degree. I have another usb with antiX too but running XFCE and ram usage is a bit bigger, 450mb on boot which makes it even more impressive, like I said, those guys on the KDE community are doing really good. BTW, I used the core x64 iso image. I installed kde-plasma-desktop which doesn't install all the KDE stuff but basic ones only plus a few other/neccesary packages: powerdevil, systemsettings, kmenuedit, kde-runtime, ksysguard, kwin-x11, plasma-browser-integration and of course all X related packages.anticapitalista wrote: Sun Dec 29, 2019 6:21 amSeems like you are running live with persistence (which makes the RAM use even more impressive).
