antiX uses sudo

antiX uses sudo

sudo as root password don't work!

[Jerry3904]

it uses sudo, so you need to put in the user password: "demo"

[anticapitalista]

When prompted for a password, read the prompt. It says enter YOUR password.

[asinoro]

OK demo is the root password, for a first look it is nice work!

[Jerry3904]

demo is the user password, which is what sudo calls for.

[dolphin_oracle]

OK demo is the root password, for a first look it is nice work!

To be clear

demo account password is demo

root account password is root


In antix, gksu prompts ask for the USER account password rather than root because antix uses sudo as the backend for gksu.

Looks good so far.

I downloaded, verified md5, OK, burned to a DVD.
Live session was working all as expected. (Network not enabled, as you announced, ran ceni, eth0 configured effortlessly).

So, I installed on the signature machine.

Looks good, except during installation, the option for samba and the MS network name were greyed out.
Installed to my test partition sda4, grub to root.
Booted back to MX-16, update-grub, and now am posting from the antix-17 beta. Network configured automatically on the install.
Suspend mode works, audio, youtube all work.

Installed a few chess programs with synaptic, all seems normal.

Later today, I will test more extensively.
I am surprised how fast antiX downloads, burns, and installs with the smaller iso compared to MX-16.
This is a fast machine, but everything was very fast.

Samba is not included on the iso. We have connectshares, which is lighter.

[entropyfoe]

OK, I will try connectshares.
Can I just invoke connect shares from a terminal?

Or is it is some system or settings menu?

It works similar to samba for set up?

Thanks, looking very good so far.
