On the live system, please test the new tsplash code.
Replace the boot parameter splash=v with splasht=f

I think there is an override variable in the installer.conf file, but they new way the installer is looking at partitions may not take that into account.BitJam wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 1:50 pmI agree the default should be to not allow installs to the live-usb device but we *may* want to let people get around this limitation if they know what they are doing.

**edit**
yes, here's the variable.
Code: Select all
#allow installation on to a partition on the boot device
INSTALL_FROM_ROOT_DEVICE=false

Adding Flash from the PI results in the web browser complaining the Flash version is outdated.

Yes, it works... and maybe I found an "Easter Egg"?
When I tested the following (checking whatif an unexpected value is specified)
the ". . . . ." remained displayed for a longer duration and
(additional, or passes too quickly to notice otherwise?) tips were displayed at bottom-left and bottom-right
Re: antiX-19-b1-full (64 and 32 bit) available
The parameters for splasht where in the release announcements:
Verbose progress is disabled for now. We have a fix in the pipeline.aA enable/disable everything
[sf] enable late fbcondecor
bB enable/disable border
vV enable/disable verbose progress
nN enable/disable nav instructions
For example “splasht=fa” would enable late fbcondecor and
would enable all the bells and whistles”.

on the connectshares issue, try modifiying ~/.config/connectshares/launcher.conf and change the column width on the terminal options from 80 to 90 and see if that works better displaying the parts that weren't being displayed correctly.

+1, I will try too ... Does a way exist to upgrade from 17.4 to 19-b1 ?

Not yet, maybe after antiX-19 has been released.
