antiX-19-a1-full (64 bit) available

[Jerry3904]

Helpful of them...thanks.

Gotta say it works and looks VERY nice for me. I just wish conky-manager were available. My test is using Space-jwm, tint2, plank and compton.

[oops]

First, congratulations, it's a very nice distrib. too.
A suggestion:
packageinstaller
Maybe you can also add, for the item:
Remote Access : x2go ( or non-free: anydesk or teamviewer )or remmina, more efficient than VNC like.
viewtopic.php?f=108&t=49828&start=10#p499342

And maybe, synapse by default ?

PS: I would also like to have the ability to switch to an (some) other user (easily like into MX18) ... but maybe an other way already exist ?
mx-switchuser

... And to give a easy alternative to the too fine: Single-pixel window borders and similar situations

I have an odd, repeatable, startup failure on this alpha.
I made the flash drive with mx-live-usb-maker.
With the normal text scrolling by, changing resolution twice, It boots into a GUI. Looks good. Conky is running. But the session is non-functional. The mouse works - you can open and navigate the menu but nothing you click on (or select & press Enter on) will open.
<Ctrl><Alt><F1> -> login as demo -> startx
That session works but has no wallpaper, conky or desktop icons. I'm typing from it now.

I did test the boot Rescue Entry (had to switch menus first as was indicated) and they work nicely. Was able to boot into (as root) an old forgotten MX-15 partition on my data drive from which the home partition had been wiped and reused for data.

I just discovered that there is one thing that works - the Themes menu. Selecting a new theme drops me back to login. The session logged into works properly (and with the new theme).
So it's most likely related to the "have to log in twice" issue reported above except on this box the second login screen is hidden.

Well, I managed to duo-boot AntiX-19 and MX-18.2, now all I have to do is learn how to use AntiX. LOL
Any good suggestions?

here's a little more on the "login twice" issue.

taking a look at /var/log/auth.log yields the following:

Code: Select all

Apr 29 19:14:53 antix1 slim: pam_unix(slim:session): session opened for user dolphin by (uid=0)
Apr 29 19:14:53 antix1 slim: pam_unix(slim:session): session closed for user dolphin
Apr 29 19:14:57 antix1 slim: pam_unix(slim:session): session opened for user dolphin by (uid=0)
Apr 29 19:15:25 antix1 sudo:  dolphin : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/dolphin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/cat /var/log/auth.log

note the close session open/close times, and the message from pam_unix about the issue. I'm not sure what it means yet, but it points toward session management.

as far as I can test, xorg doesn't even try to start first (nothing in the log anyway).

perhaps a clue from gentoo (home of elogind and such)

further data:

with autologin enabled, the double-login problem does not occur.

on live, with autologin disabled, the double-login problem DOES occur.

It seems to help me with my typing accuracy!
Edit: Has anyone tried changing from slim to lightdm to see if that clears things up?
