64 bit running live very nicely on a Thinkpad T-61.

I'm currently running it on an Acer c720p (Chromebook) and it's running nicely. The only issue I ran into was ALSA was selecting the HDMI card by default instead of PCM. I ended up creating asound.conf in etc and put the following in it:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw           
    card 1
}

Not sure if that's the best solution but it worked.

@configX, I have a couple of small suggestions. First, run:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/cards

and note the name of the card you want to use (inside of the square brackets). Use the name instead of the number. This way you are not relying on the cards always showing up in the same order. They might on your machine but they don't on all machines.

Second, use this format:

Code: Select all

defaults.pcm.!card 1
defaults.ctl.!card 1

If you follow the first suggestion then replace the"1" with the name of the card you want to use. The reason for this is it leaves in place some fancy stuff that enables software mixing so you can hear sounds from multiple sources simultaneously. This format changes only the two values you are specifying. The format you used (which has been widely advertised) erases other the other settings in addition to making the changes you specified.

did you have to do anything to get the touchpad working?

I searched for recent posts mentioning"conky" and didn't see mention of this glitch I'm currently noticing:

When changing between JWM/fluxbox/iceWM desktops ("alternate desktops" menu command)
conky is being displayed"in front, on top of" application windows.

Shoot yeah I have a fix mainly from bitjam for this... forgot to apply it for the test mini release.
If it is ok with you to copy over one file I will make the change on github and link it here.

Please try the desktop-session from here

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://github.com/antiX-Linux/desktop-session/tree/master/usr/local/bin"
linktext was:"https://github.com/antiX-Linux/desktop- ... /local/bin"
====================================

to see if it now pushes the conky window to the background on switching desktops

yep, fixed !

In antiX, the gksu dialog speciously invites user to save password"...blahblah keyring"
(but, in antiX -- intentionally -- ignores when user chooses to do so)

I've tracked down the responsible code
within debian package source file"libgksu_2.0.13~pre1.orig.tar.gz"
file"gksuui-dialog.c" @line 84

Code: Select all

gksuui_dialog_set_property (GObject *object, guint property_id,
                const GValue *value, GParamSpec *spec)
{
. . .
   if (!self->sudo_mode)
    gksuui_dialog_create_gnome_keyring_ui ((GksuuiDialog*) object);
. . .
}

Removing this"perpetual annoyance" would be achieved by outcommenting the if() statement and rebuilding as"libgksu_2.0.13~antiX" (64-bit and 32bit) packages

BitJam · posted: 2014-12-01 02:03

skidoo, did you try running gksu-properties and changing the the authentication mode to"sudo"?

If this works, it would be a much easier solution to implement. On my Gentoo box, the setting is saved in ~/.gconf/apps/gksu/%gconf.xml

skidoo · posted: 2014-12-01 07:57

quoting my earlier post in this thread, back in October:

What I don't know/understand is why gksu has been configured to operate in"sudo mode" rather than"su mode".
By experimenting, changing via gksu-properties
i discovered that when configured to use"su mode", gksu dialog omits the offer to save password.

Comparing resultant environment variables, seems to me that gksu, in"su mode", with the 2 options ticked in gksu-properties
...produces the same result as when I use the Alt+F2 gedit launcher and tick"root".

Isn't it already configured to used"sudo mode"? Must be, otherwise (per the conditional code snippet I pasted) the"save in keyring" etc controls wouldn't be displayed.
Contrary to my earlier post (i posted too soon, hadn't yet checked thoroughly),"same result" wasn't accurate.
I wound up with config files for geany et al, pathed under /home/demo but owned by root:root

From memory, I thought I'd tested all 4 permutations...
sudo mode +-"preserve environment variables"
sudo mode +-"??? shell"

Rebooted OK. I changed repos though to Jessie from testing.
No hiccups on my gear doing this my way.
