ceni not pre-installed

[KoO]

Just installing MX-19 on my x220 test machine, so I can test an installer script and their was no pre-install ceni.
After installing MX-19 rebooted to terminal line logged on.
Then plugged in a lan cable run sudo apt update then installed ceni, ran ceni added password worked fine then sudo apt upgrade.
Rebooted straight to the lightdm logon screen. Happy Days

Would it be possible to add ceni to the installer so no lan cable would be needed after the install.

use of ceni causes problems if you use network-manager, so we don't include it.

you can configure your net connection with the nmcli utility. there is also a ncurses interface with nmtui (run in terminal).

Thanks for the info dolphin never heard of these before will add to my help file maybe not. I don't like this network manager thingy it's too gui and takes over the network. Ceni is much more fun But at least on running ceni it give you the option to turn off network manager.

ceni is reported to be dead. From siduction's lead developer:

ceni is dead, can't handle the new device naming scheme.

It's alive and kicking in antiX.

Good to know. It was always my preferred way to set up networking. Have you or other antiX devs done some work on it?

Only to fix a perl error (due to changes in latest perl version).
The new device device naming scheme is not used on antiX.
IMO the new version is even more cryptic than the old eg enp0s10 v eth0

I hear ya! My wifi on Debian system is wlxf8d1111403eb. Apparently there is logic to it but it escapes me so far. It's trivial to revert and disable "predictable network interface names" though.

Ceni is run my network connections for both MX-19 installs. My main which is a Lan connection and Lenovo X220 which is a wifi connection. (With network manager disable) Works just fine Thanks

Below is my main Lan (If these screenie are to big I will remove)

That interface name is derived from the MAC address of the device.
