A curiousity, swap was not detected on this box but i was booting the other version on another nox at the same time and iy did detect the swap. (It froze up right after the"no pinboard was in use..." message...rebooting into safe mode.)
As mentioned earlier, the browsers opened on different pages on the different versions as well.

I dunno, I am getting some issues with the jwm keys file?

Like, I can not type capital letters anywhere, as it opens a root permission box for geany, terminal, and so on.

Ceni is still grumpy too, but wicd works, like before.

Seems the better of the three on this particular Nvidia box, guess I'll install this a bit later.

And I intensely dislike systemd.

Seeing how you are using your sound file for multiple WMs, it might make more sense (as it was one of the reasons for doing this) to add the play command to the session startup in / etc / desktop-session / startup. It would be a good test for the system even if you did not want to keep it there __{{emoticon}}__

Updated List. We are @ 50 issues.

Code: Select all

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: 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: 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: 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: Spacefm Automount (pmount) fails erroring that mtab/fstab contains entry already
Solution: unknown

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?

Problem: Fluxbox menu -> desktop -> session settings global does not open root text editor with config.
Solution: Remove the () around (Global)

Problem: Keys files not coherent with the other window managers
Solution: Update Keys Files

Problem: JWM Keys file opening applications as root when attempting to make capital letters
Solution: Update jwm keys file

Problem: Conky sits on top of other windows when restarting / starting
Solution: add " wmctrl -F -r"Conky ($HOST)" add,below" to conky section of desktop-session

Problem: Conky missing screen resolution
Solution: add ${color}${execi 100  xdpyinfo | sed -n -r"s/^\s*dimensions:.*\s([0-9]+x[0-9]+).*/\1/p"} to conky rcs'

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: 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: 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: With user protect enabled, nothing gets updated with the global counterparts when updated. Meanwhile when not protected everything is updated  without knowledge. 
Solution: Make intermediate option where nothing is updated and a prompt is presented as to what to update when there is an update available the user logs on.
   
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: Conky persist enabled check is too frequent
Solution: bump time value from 10 to 100

Problem: Conky root FS Used value @ 99% live
Solution: Unkown

Problem: Conky font difficult to read
Solution: Change font."xftfont DejaVu Sans:bold:size=9"

Problem: rox-fluxbox missing from alternative desktops menu 
Solution: Unknown

Problem: Browser is closed when switching / reloading desktop session
Solution: Unknown

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

Problem: Installer does not work with a gpt partitioned disk
Solution: refer to updated MX installer

Problem: Homepage differs between RD and RV versions
Solution: Unknown... ASSUME copy the config between versions

Problem: All packages in antix repo are listed twice
Solution: Comment out stable repo

Problem: RD not ejecting CD's on shutdown
Solution: Unknown

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: 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

             **** OR ****
             Write a local menu to a different location.

Problem: after running add/remove desktop for personal menu items the menu is not refreshed

Anyone having troubles installing virtualbox on the alpha full?
I have installed vbox non-ose version using smxi and it will only run as root. Regular user just sits there not doing anything.
Installing the ose version failed as it was unavailable in apt.

Problem: Boot menu lacking for selecting desktop session
The"F6 Desktop" bootloader menu works here on antiX-14-a3-RD_x64-full. Can anyone reproduce the problem and/or say which iso has the problem?
Problem: set-screen-blank errors out first run due to lack of ~/.desktop-session/desktop-session.conf
I think this is only theoretical. It will only bite if set-screen-blank is installed on a system that does not have desktop-session.

I am working on these problems:
Problem: RD not ejecting CD's on shutdown
Problem: Persistance not asking to change passwords... normal?
Problem: Boot menu resolution not"sticking" with the save option for a custom entry
The first two are related to getting our Live scripts to play with systemd (and vice versa).

BTW: I could get the syslinux chain.c32 module to work with the MX-14.2 bootloader but not with the antiX-14-a3 bootloader. I have no idea why. They should be almost identical. On a LiveUSB, copy the chain.c32 file into the /boot/syslinux directory on the LiveUSB and then add an entry as shown in the examples here:

====================================
It can be used to chainload other operating systems from the Live system. It is powerful when it works.

You have two places the sound can go. I imagine one is hdmi and the other is on the back of the box as usual. It's likely the sound is going to the wrong one.

Here is a little command line app that can help:

There's got to be a little GUI app that does this. If not, we should make one. But not this week.

It booted with Card 2 (the unhooked onboard chip) selected and I changed the input to Card 1 (Nvidia HDMI). However, still no sound and in the mixer none of the sliders would adjust.

I'll try your script tomorrow....it's already past 1 am and about time for some sleep.

James, FWIW I have sb audigy sound card. Although sound device on motherboard is disabled in bios, linux still detects it and loads it as the default output target. ControlCentre }} Select Sound Card, by choosing the audigy card (a one-time operation after a fresh install) fixes the sound output.
