antiX-14R-alpha2 available - Page 5

Update application menu updates the application menu as local user, the global one updates the global menu that the user menu is symlinked to. Global is just the same as what apt does to update the menu. For the conky problems and the space desktop problem could you try adjusting the settings in etc / desktop-session / desktop-session.conf ? Mainly the set start conky to true to fix conky and change desktop delay to a higher value to try to fix space desktop.

Edit:
And the change will require a logout / login or a change session from the menu.

System stops doing anything with the text"Ready to Reboot" or"ready to shutdown" depending on the scenario. Persistence doesn't matter.

Try setting a breakpoint like bp=2 or bp=8 and then running:

Code: Select all

safe-shutdown

or

Code: Select all

safe-reboot

from there.

Hello,

Here go tests with old laptop HP Omnibook XE2 (Pentium II, 333Mhz, 256Mb RAM)

Boot from Plop in CD-ROM, then using different antiX images installed in USB pendrive with YUMI.

- antiX-14R-alpha2:
Do not complete boot sequence. Last line on screen says:

Code: Select all

fbcondecor: switched decor state to 'on' on console 0

- antiX-14R-alpha1:
Do not complete boot sequence. Last line on screen says (it's one line less than with antiX-14R-alpha2):

Code: Select all

i8042: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC,PNP0f13:MOUE] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12

- antiX-13.5-alpha
Do not complete boot sequence. Blank screen when switching to X desktop (even with Wary 5.5 xorg.conf, see below)

- antiX-13.2
Works OK. Out of the box it is unable to switch to X desktop, but copying a xorg.conf file generated by Wary 5.5, it works OK. (Note: this"unable to switch to X desktop" problem also happens with Precise Puppy, but no solution found at present, so"kudos" to antiX-13.2 __{{emoticon}}__ )

is libtorrent missing?
I could not get transmission to...transmit...anything, so I installed deluge, which complained about missing libtorrent.

So it has been a few months....
Just wondering if there is anything much new for problems than what is listed above?
Or does quite mean working ok for the computers that could run this alpha?

I had the problem on my Dell Inspiron 8100 (Pentium III m) where I couldn't get through the boot sequence, same as frokenstein above. Let me know if a fixed version is available and I'll give it a try. It locks up at:
