roky - use
~$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

to get he correct uuids and edit your antiX fstab.

Then on reboot, blkid should work.

Roky, did you try"rmmod floppy"? Also you could try adding floppy to the modprobe blacklist which seems like the most direct approach. Add:

Code: Select all

blacklist floppy

to a file in / etc/modprobe.d.

Do I put the blacklist floppy in / etc/modprobe.d/aliases text file I made? Is that OK BitJam?

@Anti.

I edited / etc/fstab like so . replaced /media/sdbx entries with /media/sdax entries. I made directories in /media to match fstab also. Hope it looks OK.

Code: Select all

# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab

/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0

For some reason. fstab was showing /media/sdb3 and so on and folders were there in /media called sdb3 and sdb6 and and they opened Ubuntu OK as regular user in rox. I will reboot now and see what is what.

As BJ mentions, but instead of a file in etc/modprobe add

rmmod floppy

to etc/rc.local above exit line.

Ok. will try that next. No change with blkid or fdisk with fstab changes. I can access Ubuntu now though through rox file manager as user using /media/sda3 for /home in Ubuntu. I used to use /media/sdb3 folder instead. I still get this error for the sda1 partition on mounting in rox. But no big deal as I have no need to access it anyways.

Code: Select all

FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
Mount failed

Done
There was one error.

That is for /media/sda1 mount in rox as regular user.

Edit: spacefm takes a long time to open from gexec/run as root for some reason. Another mystery.

anticapitalista · posted: 2012-10-17 22:35

spacefm lag is due to the floppy. I had the same problem until I added that line to etc/rc.local

(Alternatively, install udisks)

Holy cow. / etc/rc.local is blank Anti. Spacefm just opened since my last post to give you a idea on how long it takes to open from gexec also.

Ok. Thanks for that. So apt-get install udisks? Guess so since udisks was not installed showed by apt-cache udisks report. So I installed it.

yes. Try rc.local like this.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will"exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

rmmod floppy 
echo 2000 > /sys/block/sr0/events_poll_msecs 

exit 0

Ok. I added the

Code: Select all

echo 2000 > /sys/block/sr0/events_poll_msecs

line also even though I have no clue what it does.

anticapitalista · posted: 2012-10-17 22:49

That line is supposed to make spacefm work better __{{emoticon}}__

Seriously, it fixes issues with being able to open cd/dvd devices.

rokytnji · posted: 2012-10-17 22:54

Cool beans. Fdisk and blkid are now fixed. I can mount Ubuntu in rox. This baby is gonna be AntiX 64bit when we get the bugs out. Spacefm opens instantly now from run/gexec also. I think udisk did the trick maybe. Just guessing though.

Edit: purged udisks as per Antis suggestion in chat to test. Everything still works so i guess the / etc/rc.local fix did the trick.
I did not know not having a floppy drive would be so problematic since most of my gear runs a floppy drive in AntiX 32bit.

Nothing serious. I am finding that my manual edits to /.fluxbox/applications in the sound and video section when I ad xmms is not surviving reboots. I save the file in leafpad after editing. All other manual edits like in /.fluxbox/startup via antixcc survive reboot OK though. Just the applications text file is being stubborn.

anticapitalista · posted: 2012-10-18 12:52

That file gets rewritten on every boot.

I do not personally have a 64 bit system from which I can test this version, but I passed along this link to someone who does, the person who initially was asking about this capability. Hopefully he will have a chance to check it out sometime soon and provide his feedback on it. He is generally quite positive about versions of antiX, and he also provides useful feedback. Hopefully he will have the time to do so some time soon!

Thanks for making this available, anti! I appreciate it!

anticapitalista wrote:Yes, antiX now has 64 bit versions.

Need testers to see how well this works.

I have uploaded base version (360MB). Using the new_usb.sh script should still work for those that want to put it on a stick.

This is labelled an alpha, but installation and running should present no serious issues. There are plenty of bugs, but hopefully, all minor.

Features.

* 3.6.0 kernel
* updated applications
* changes to icons in antixcc, exit

Don't know if you want this or not. But uploading anyways. These are extra JWM themes. One I tweaked myself called girly for the female AntiX users.

If you wanna add them to final. Go for it.
