d_o try it again. Sometimes, on first use, gtk-youtubeviewer does that, or is very slow to connect, but it does get there. (or it should)

It dose not work for me ether, I just did an upgrade preserving my home directories. After making a few adjustments. Everything is running perfectly except for the youtube viewer. I'm running 64 bit also.

I like the clean shorter menus, To everyone involved . Job Well Done !!!

Edit from earlier, It dose work you need to wait for it lol

or are you doing a dist-upgrade?

Excuseme R.C. I'm talking about dist-upgrade...

I'm also waiting for the script from Anticapitalista.

Is the first time and I want to try to dist-upgrade Antix

Well. I was installing sun-jre-updater on my 32-bit antiX 13.1 Base/Full hybrid (installed as Base, but has the Full Control Center and Synaptic added), and noticed an"unchanged" -- came back after and checked, it was a bunch of stuff including one called antix-base-files (as I recall), as well as upgrades for gpg, xorg, and other stuff that slipped past me. Did I just get 13.2 by accident (not a bad thing, it seems to still run well), or was that just upgrades I haven't seen previously because I still can't seem to find an update notifier for antiX?

It broke...Had it up and running on an Intel i3,and an AMD FX 4410 with no problems as a LIVE CD. But when I went down this morning to my Pentium III 996 Mhz, it died.//Won't even boot up from disk..TONS of FAILED notations. And my Pentium is my testing machine that I primarily use for linux...

How would you use the DELTA file? __{{emoticon}}__

Those errors are usually down to the cd or cd fevide. Did you burn at slow speed (x4)?
It really can make a difference on old boxes. Newer ones are usually ok at writing and reading cd isos even at fast burn.

Delta patches are for users that have earlier iso files (the actual files) and instaed of downloading 700MB, download the correct patch and follow the instructions here:

First. I liked that when I picked the F keys at grub screen for automount all. Fstab jumped right in and wrote the entries on bootup. /dev/sda1 is a ooooooooooooooooooooold IBM 3.5 IDE Travelstar taken out of a junked
Aptiva that was found in a dumpster with my other dumpster Emachine. It is empty.

/dev/sda1       7.9G  4.0K  7.9G   1% /media/sda1

/dev/sdb is a 40 gig IDE with MacPup 529 (I think) and Semplice on it. I like the Macpup because this IBM M41 has a floppy and every great once in a while I gotta use it. Macpup handles that quite well.So It is not leaving.

demo@antiX1:~
$ cd /media
demo@antiX1:/media
$ ls

Anyways. I am leaning towards stripping Semolice of what I need to keep and slap on /dev/sda1 as backup, etc.....

Install AntiX 13.2 over Semplice. Currently I have grubn4dos handling the boot duties on mbr.
Then the little devil on my shoulder says. Why not double boot and put AntiX 13.2 as a frugal install
on 8 gig drive. Slap backup of data of Semplice on a pendrive. Use the Semplice partition for
storage. I used to have a 60 gig drive instead of the 8 gig one in that IBM drive slot but it went belly up and that one had my AntiX 13.1 and Vector 7 STD Gold installs on it. This used to be a quad booter with
AntiX grub handling the booting duties with chainloading grub 2.

As a side note to the above poster above Anti. It took me a few tries booting my cd on this old DVDROM drive on this Tower. I had to slap it and blow some air and talk dirty to it before I finally got to the AntiX screen. I always Md5sum and also burn my cds real slow on my good laptop that is newer than any I have. So even with all
that premptive paranoia going on. I knew a good bitch slap was all this tower needed to boot up the cd.
Hope that works for you.

Shoot. Decisions, decisions. What is a poor ignorant biker to do?

Lot's going on since I posted last. Real world stuff so just a quick update since my last post.
I will be busy with other stuff so I won't get to this computer for a while. Anyhows.

$ cd /media

Android  documents  Movies    PerfectViewer  Ringtones
Books    Download   Music     Pictures       status.txt

That is with my Android 4 Tablet (4" Iview) connected. I used SpaceFM to mount it. USB Storage is turned on in Android so AntiX can see it. I don't think anything after Android 4 (like Android 4.2) will work like this.
That means my Blackberry Phone (9530) should show up just fine also when plugged into usb also.

on the 32bit 13.2 install (from the new iso), connectshares is requiring a sudo password. I do not have this issue on the 64bit 13.2 that is dist-upgraded from 13.1. Any ideas?

***edit***

got it. the / etc / sudoers.d / antixers configuration file is not correct. There is a antixers.dpkg-dist that looks like it should have copied to antixers but has not.

BitJam · posted: 2013-11-07 04:12

As root, add another entry in / etc/sudoers.d/antixers using the others as a template.

Like the other entries, you need to provide the full path to the executable:

/usr/local/bin/connectshares

This should fix the problem. I don't know if this is the official solution.

dolphin_oracle · posted: 2013-11-07 04:17

There is an extra flie (antixers.dpkg-dist) that looks like the it should be the antixers. The .dpkg-dist file has all the entries that the 64bit antixers has (at least on my two machines). I just did

# cp antixers.dpkg-dist antixers

as root and all is well. There are other missing entries as well, such as update-default-desktop, that are in the .dpkg-dist version.

in the 64bit updgrade version, there is also a debian.list.dpkg-dist in / etc / apt / sources.list.d that is a match for debian.list. There doesn't look like any change in debian.list though is its just an extra file.

FYI the 64bit iso also has the antixers sudo issue.
