antiX-19-b3-full and base versions (64 and 32 bit) available

[dolphin_oracle]

in the short run, might be able to use "xorg=vesa" to force the vesa driver to be used, install, then install the nvidia drivers.

Hi, that did not help either, so I went for the cli-installer when it dropped to a tty. Got it installed - then upgraded to 5.2 kernel via the cli installer tool but it only has 390 drivers which again does not support the 2080Ti lol

Thanks for trying to help though.

um...no, if its just 390 something is wrong. did you download the 32 bit? because if 64, it should be pulling 418.

or I've got something else wrong in the installer. if you can, can you give me the /var/log/ddm.log

also, this should do the isntall from the cli.

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install --install-recommends nvidia-driver nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-dkms libnvidia-encode1

Hi - this is the iso I used - antiX-19.b3_x64-full.iso

I will try the command line you said. I can not see any /var/log/ddm.log?

Be back in a minute...

Regards Zeb...

[zebedeeboss]

Hi

Still bumps me down to a tty login :(

Although it did find the 4.18 drivers with that command

The command I tried to use before was cli-AptiX and that is how I installed the kernel

Maybe I should start again - as I know how nvidia-drivers love getting mutlple things installed - not...

and still no ddm.log ?

Regards Zeb...

[zebedeeboss]

ok - I am now running the Live USB :D

running he 4.9.189 kernel and the 418.74 drivers :D

using the cli command syou gave for nvidia

Will now try to install on a fresh new partition and will report back how it goes

Regards Zeb...

ok logout to install from cli - sigh

[zebedeeboss]

YAY

Installed and working

Now let the testing begin

Thank you for all you help in getting here.

Regards Zeb...

How I did it with the problems associated with an nvidia RTX graphics card.
1 Boot to live USB
2 drop to tty login as root (it will probably do this auto due to RTX issues - this is Linux wide and not anything specific to do with Antix)
3 perform a full update & upgrade
4 run nvidia cli commands as per Dolphin instructions above
5 run cli-installer
6 reboot into a working system

Found USB Live maker in Control Centre and not in program list where i expected. Made a new Flash Media Stick and have booted to reserve computer. What is amazing I installed antix-17.4.1_64 bit full version to the MICRO-STAR model: 770-C45 before going on Holiday, and could not boot the system without errors. Using a live antix-17.4.1_64 flash stick I could not see the patriot blaze SSD 480 gig drive. Booting with antiX-19-b3-full flash stick it let me install and this system will rapidly boot without errors.

After setting up my Ryzen system now that I am home, I will try to boot that system with the Beta3, that i could not get to work earlier...

Cheers I can test with this system also...

Posting with antix-19-b3-full from new flash drive now that I am home...

Works in both set up systems - will install tomorrow and try to experiment with different kernels...

Did you try the safe video mode on the live system? I'd like to try to get the live system to get to X on your hardware. The trick used to be to block the nouveau driver with the "nomodeset" boot option and then use the vesa driver with "xorg=vesa". These should both be (effectively) set when you select safe video. If we can find a way for you to get to X booting live then I can try to automatically detect your graphics hardware and do it automatically.

Once you get to the command line you can see if the nouveau driver is being loaded anyway with the command:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep nouveau

If "nomodeset" is no longer working (to prevent the nouveau driver from being loaded) then you could try "blacklist=nouveau" but sometimes that gets ignored as well. If the nouveau driver is still getting loaded then I will add "nuke=xxx" boot parameter to remove drivers that we can't prevent from loading.
