Ahhh, well.
Been there; done that.
Wait, which password is lost?
If root, then time to save all possible data.
Then, reinstall.
If user, create a new user and move any data in home to new user.
One more reason for a separate /DATA partition. :)

Re: Screen going black when it's idle.
o,k i have to reinstall -- i don't want to use the same iso, so, which one of this list here at sourceforge is coming with xfce?:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix- ... ntiX-17.1/
Distrowatch is saying that antiX has a xfce desktop, i don't see it

Re: Screen going black when it's idle.
there isn't one. I think that xfce listing is a hold over from when MX was a spin of antiX (mx14, mx15)keos wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 12:16 pm o,k i have to reinstall -- i don't want to use the same iso, so, which one of this list here at sourceforge is coming with xfce?:

Re: Screen going black when it's idle.
googled for 'antix' which showed this page: https://www.google.co.ve/search?q=antix ... e&ie=UTF-8
which on the right hand side says:
My experience says Xfce is not included in antiX.

Having seen this post, I might as well mention I just started having this problem too. In MX, that is. I think I'm using 17...

Re: Screen going black when it's idle.
Really? I would not expect to escape a blank black screen by entering my username like it's a screensaver, but I'll try it. I've been Ctrl-Backspacing (or Ctrl-Alt-Backspacing, I forget which) to get out of the blank screen, because I didn't have a better idea.rokytnji.1 wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 1:04 pm I just type in my user name.

Re: Screen going black when it's idle.
Maybe if i install this iso, almost at the end of the list: antiX-17.1_x64-base.iso 2018-03-17 665.8 MB ... and add xfce ... do you think there are going to be more chances of success?

Re: Screen going black when it's idle.
I just installed the same versión but for 686.
My experience from the last couple of days is that the Xfce4 install overwrites some parts the IceWM and antiX Control Center. Could be just me because I decided to continue using SpaceFM & IceWM on my netbooks.
Perhaps it's either one or the other. My searches didn't find any corraboration of this on antiX.
