YES, the 50 or so consolekit-daemon lines are now suppressed from htop output. Still...

Same as ever (for me) all non-essential services are disabled.
Instead of seeing the expected 70Mb or so inuse RAM displayed by conky at start of fluxbox session, It is 143Mb.
64-bit is comparatively that much"heavier"?

Please check '/dev/sda1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,

Mount failed

In this iso, is the"default" NOAUTO / AUTOMOUNT / NOUSB different compared to the previous beta?
I haven't yet changed away from the default, but I suspect I'll need to do so.
Wait, does that boot option only govern mounting of removable drives?

Problem: Conky sometimes disappears when starting a session and / or rox pinboard produces an error
Solution: Adjust startup delay in / etc/desktop-session.conf to 2 or greater.

Problem: Standard Items in Personal menu are not editable / do not follow user selected defaults.
Solution: edit / etc/xdg/menus/TCM-MENU.menu by commenting out / removing" <AppDir>/usr/share/desktop-defaults/defaults/</AppDir>"
add"desktop-menu --menu-file='/ etc/xdg/menus/TCM-MENU.menu' --write-out --write-out-file='personal'" to /usr/share/desktop-session/first-run-script

Problem: System D live boot missing"quiet" boot parameter
Solution: add"quiet" to extlinux and syslinux boot strings.

Problem: fluxbox menu has duplicated entries for updating the menu. One under update menus and the other under fluxbox settings.
Solution: remove the one from fluxbox settings.

Problem: Add Desktop under tools no longer works...
Solution: change exec portion of menu to point to add-desktop or remove in favor of duplicate item in desktop submenu

Problem: sbins not in system path for user... only root
Solution: add"PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin" to ~/.bashrc

Problem: All packages in antix repo are listed twice

Warning! fusbh200_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after

There was a similar problem with the ehci module for a while. In this case the fusbh200_hcd driver is compiled in but so are uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd. I think we will have to compile uhci_hcd and ochi_hcd as loadable modules in order to avoid getting that error message.

Problem: Clipboard Manager (clipit) not enabled on startup.
Solution: add to startup or enable xdg autostart in desktop-session

Problem: The dpi=xxx boot parameter no longer works.

Possible Solution
Problem: Items from default desktop and personal menu are duplicated in the applications menu
Solution: add filters to xdg/menus/* or add Item to NoDisplay in the various .desktop files.

Problem: Installer copies files as *root* to user home resulting in the inability to run / save program settings (geany / gtk).
Solution: Move skel copy strings from installer to /usr/share/desktop-session/first-run-script

Problem: set-screen-blank errors out first run due to lack of ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf
Solution: Add ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf to / etc/desktop-session/file_compare

Problem: Control-Center -> edit system moniter always opens the same conky file.
Solution: make control center read desktop session and open appropriate config ( a lib entry may be needed for desktop and control center to share )

Problem: Gdebi not auto updating menu as it directly utilizes dpkg not apt, therefor the apt hook does not come into play
Solution: Move /usr/bin/update-menus, Symlink /usr/bin/update-menus with apt update script, and run moved update-menus in apt script.

Problem: Update Menus --> Update Local Menu overwrites the global menu based on going through the symlink.
Solution: Destroy the local menu update.
**** OR ****
Destroy the symlink before writing a local menu
**** OR ****
Write a local menu to a different location.

Problem: after running add/remove desktop for personal menu items the menu is not refreshed
Solution: add"desktop-menu --menu-file='/ etc/xdg/menus/TCM-MENU.menu' --write-out --write-out-file='personal'" call in add/remove desktop scripts

Problem: Spacefm not showing internal drives as default. As user allowable mount is not set in fstab...
Solution: Go up to the menu bar, and Devices>Settings>Show>Internal Drives (Better spacefm default config....)
Maybe live boot scripts/installer could update for internal drives as was previously done at one point?

Problem: Boot menu lacking for selecting desktop session (usb)
Solution: add or educate on alternative desktops

Problem: Some systems need nomodeset"set" / intel driver not loading
Solution:

BitJam wrote:This option is still available in the Video Mode boot menu. I think the problem was a regression in the intel driver which caused it to fail on some systems that it used to work on.

Problem: Sometimes persist-save is not running due to another running instance that does not seem to exist
Solution: Remove /usr/local/bin/reboot and /usr/local/bin/halt. This might help fix related problems.

Problem: Rounded corners in global, sample, fluxbox overlay file are causing theme customizations to not"take hold"
Solution: Comment out the rounded portions of the fluxbox overlay file.

Problem: The Message whilst loading the session is"getting old"
Solution: Replace with cookie file or run with a standard dialog such as"Session Loading. Please wait...."

Problem: Desktop menu has only an entry for adding desktop files. There should be a remove desktop files option as well.
Solution: add remove desktop item to the desktop menu.

Problem: add desktop is maybe miss-named... open for suggestions to the name change
Solution: Change name... (add/remove items?)

Problem: XDG autostart set to false in desktop-session. This can be default, or set to true as default.
Solution: Perhaps a poll to determine which should be set and why / how to overcome problems related to this. (Currently Poll suggests Off by default until program to add / remove .desktop items from startup. Maybe add this to the add / remove items program in future)

Problem: / etc/default/grub set wrong. No quiet mode, not as nice of a theme as previous, etc... just needs refining being the first time with grub 2.
Solution: Set proper defaults and have someone make a nice theme like 4 MX... install grub-customizer to help?

The Following appear the same
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: Control center lacking quick access to manipulate desktop-session settings (.conf / startup / file_compare / etc....)
Solution: add item to edit such configs in session section of control center

Problem: Lacking links/ability in the control center to edit or change desktop-session related configuration
Solution: add a new tab (or incorporate into another tab) for various buttons to update session"stuff"
Example: desktop-session.conf, desktop-defaults.conf, screen-blank, menu add/remove/update.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: Ceni will not work with wireless but wicd does
Solution: Unknown ASSUME that wicd is"taking over" in the RD version (/ var/run/wpa_supplicant existing and should be remove to run ceni)

Problem: inxi reporting false window manager identification (fluxbox ok)
Solution: Unknown

Problem: Personal menu does not truely accomodate for a manual configuration (similar to userprotect making all updates or no updates)
Solution: Update desktop-menu script

Problem: Grub Repair not related to grub 2
Solution: Update utility for grub to or replace with grub-customizer if the option is there.
