Thought I would see how this works.

antiX-19 base version (sort of), but with runit as the init system instead of SysVinit.

This is an official version of antiX-19 and though it is stable, it is a bit of an experiment.
Available in 32 and 64 bit.

* Default kernel is 4.9.200
* based on antiX-base version, but with some changes
* live iso built using lz4 compression, which means a faster boot, but larger iso file size.
* IceWM only (fluxbox, JWM and herbstluftwm removed)
* plain IceWM is default window manager to keep RAM usage low - ie no rox 'desktop' meaning that no icons on the desktop (live boot though via F6 or installed under Desktop menu give Rox-IceWM and min-IceWM options)
* spacefm removed
* uses ceni for networking – no connman installed
* there are bugs especially when running live eg on boot you will see some sequence of green ‘OK’s and reboot will actually shutdown the computer.
* as is the case with base versions of antiX, synaptic is not installed

If you find on installation that no drives are shown in /media, then delete the /etc/fstab file and type this in a terminal

<code>sudo make-fstab</code>

Give it a try - post your impressions/comments/bugs over at antiX forums.

Wahoo... I'm the first downloader.

So that's why it's taking my download so long! Mark is hogging the bandwidth! Ha ha.

* based on antiX-base version

Cool!

I'm from the noob side, so I will wait for a little bit more beefed up version, base may just be over my head for now. But looking forward to play with antiX runit version. I liked it on Void, but I was too noob to keep it is daily driver. Which is good since I found you guys

@manyroads, any chance to slap Xfce on it?

Would your steps from 19 beta work on this one?

The Base version is flushed out nicely with IceWM. It is not like the Core version (console oriented). I doubt that you will have any problems using the Base version.

I am using the runit version now in a VB VM. Using Firefox to visit this MX forum. So far I can't notice any difference from my regularly used antiX-19 system. What should I be looking for?

I did notice the .iso size is too big for a regular CD. Other than that it seems identical as a simple user.

... Thank you anticapitalista ... tested and worked like a charm. (only RAM= 62.5MB into conky antiX-runitx32)
... Edit: Multi-users works ... but it is easier with slim than with lightdm ;-)

Do services like printing, etc work OOTB or does the user need to manually add some service files or symlinks?

Stage 2 of the boot process (/etc/runit/2) should start any and all services enabled for runlevel 2 with this command:

Code: Select all

/lib/runit/async-timeout /lib/runit/run_sysv_scripts '/etc/rc2.d'

All of the services in the live image are enabled for runlevel 2, just check after adding any new stuff by running

Code: Select all

sudo sysv-rc-conf

^ That will show for which runlevels installed services are started.

That is what we hope to find out. It all *should* work.

My guess is that the init will have little to do with installing xfce. The same steps should work or you can install from the antiX package manager... which is now much easier and seems to work although last time I tried I got version 4.12 not 4.14.

... and with antiX, I always install lightdm instead slim (for a multi-users behavior, Ctrl+Alt+F7, Ctrl+Alt+F8, Ctrl+Alt+Fn ).

Same here.. I was about to open a topic on it. The "standard" antixes also don't get there. If I enter startx I get a load of xorg stuff on the screen.

Going to try the xorg=nuke option now.. failsafe didn't get me anywhere either.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 7:41 am**

I only tried so far version posted by HoaS and only live session (off the USB stick) is not loading startx. Installed one does start it

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 7:43 am**

Thing is I am not installing unless I have a GUI.. I have too many drives to fiddlestick with and I do not want to risk selecting the wrong one.

Removed splasht, added xorg=nuke, nope. (note that that was on antix-full _x64, but I am very sure that runit will do the same).
Of course md5sums were checked and all.

10th generation Intel isn't well supported (if at all) under Debian buster, you could perhaps try the new AHS repository (if that works with antiX) for a newer kernel & graphics stack.

Well that explains why I can't run MX or antiX on my new toy...

Edit: Funny that Linux Mint does....

Runit now. Made a screenshot, this was using failsafe, no other parameters were added:

Drives are present. I can see all the partitions in /media, so that is not it.
Note that I do not have mx17 installed on the system lol just renamed the partitions as such.

Haven't tried any of those. nvidia hasn't been installed yet, this is trying to run live.

Will try when I get back, have to step out for a bit.

Ok. Maybe you try also load=all

(just out of curiosity :) )

Nope, still end up with that screen from the screenie.

If you wouldn't mind trying again so that we can see your X.Org log this will generate a link that you can copy & post here:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install pastebinit
pastebinit -i /var/log/Xorg.0.log 2>/dev/null

But if you also can't get to a desktop with sysvinit then this is off-topic for this thread really.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 12:41 pm**

Uhmm.. it will generate a link?

You need it to be a bit more specific as I am NOT versed well in terminalspeak.. how do I get to said link to post it here after I boot back into my mx19? Is it on the USB stick then? And if so.. where?

edit: tried it.. figured what the hey... well..

"unable to locate package pastebinit"

There are a number of logs in antiX-Live-usb/Live-usb-storage/root/live-logs/ though?

The output should be very short, for example:

Code: Select all

empty@E485:~ $ pastebinit -i /home/empty/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log 2>/dev/null
http://paste.debian.net/1120559/
empty@E485:~ $

So you could just write it down. But that's irrelevant if you can't connect so try

Code: Select all

sudo dhclient

^ That will probably connect you if you only have a wired interface.

*snort* had to reload first. I had internet.

Anyway. Used the failsafe option. This is what I got:

Thanks for that command by the way, mighty nifty way to get the log content :)

No screens found?

Gee.. I have TWO! I am reading all that stuff on one of them

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:07 pm**

eadwine - does the sysvinit version of antiX-19 boot i.e. the one released in October?

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:11 pm**

I have tried the ones called full and base I think.. and nope, same thing.

*sigh* :(

I guess I should open a separate topic on it if you feel like going on a journey with this system. I wager I have one of those silly things going on again.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:19 pm**

So, it is probably down to the fact antiX-19 (all flavours sysvinit and runit) use a 4.9 kernel and your hardware needs a later version.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:22 pm**

Could be, yeah. If that is what you deduct from the logs and all. The former system ran it still, I remember trying antiX (older version of course) on that.

AMD Ryzen seem to be causing (us) problems.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:32 pm**

Yes. AMD Ryzen 7 & 4.9.200 kernel may be the cause.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:35 pm**

Ran live and installed. Wireless connected. Added codecs, installed LibreOffice, all OK.

Hmm. Will try a MX19 install fresh. and then install the 4.9.193 (mxpi) kernel on it, see what gives. If that DOES run......?

Lemme know.. and I can start a different thread on that. I'd be happy to be your guinea pig.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:55 pm**

Added more info to original post.

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 6:47 pm**

Installed base and works fine with same Gnome, KDE apps, LibreOffice and configs installed in sysVinit + same /home. Feels lighter and faster. Fonts and graphics look "cleaner".

Someone could replace kernel with the newer one, and post iso here for her to try

Posted: **Wed Dec 11, 2019 9:49 am**

Yes, but she was going to try 4.9 and her cpu on MX first.
Don't know if she had time for that.

Not yet. There is no rush :)

Posted: **Wed Dec 11, 2019 10:28 am**

Installed, and right at the top I saw nouveau and unknown chipset.

From that moment I knew it wasn't going to work, and indeed.. same result. So.. if people with my hardware want to run antiX they are SOL and need a newer kernel.
