Hi there,

I have recently discovered this new distro through to Mxlinux and I wanted to try it but in Antix-core, I got a lot of message error:



+ I got this in the end:

" Chroot: failed to run command 'passwd': input/output error
Passwords are not identical. Retry:

" Chroot: failed to run command 'passwd': input/output error
Passwords are not identical. Retry:


A message that never ending scrolling...

Btw: the iso is a 32 bit version.


Any clue? Thanks!

First , did you ensure you had a good download by checking the md5sum?

(Normally it will install without any problems.)

Re the password, it must have 2 identical inputs, before it will accept it & continue the installation

Which EXACT version of antiX-core are you using? Your screenshot suggests you have an X environment. If so, why not use the gui installer?

Hi, I downloaded the core and the base version, both in 32 bit... While the base version is fine, the core one is where I got this issue.

At first, I wanted to try the core version but I don't know how to do a screenshot in CLI, I have installed the base version. But even when you type 'cli-installer' in terminal, the problem is similar to the screenshot above. It is said that the password is not identical...

Are you sure it is identical?

BTW you haven't said which core version. antiX-16, antiX-16.1 or antiX-16.2 or any other version?

The only password I wrote is the first one just before you type 'cli-installer' in the beginning of the installation.

And of course I used the latest version of the iso : 16.2

I think you may be a little bit confused, when installing, it is asking for the password you want your new user to use, it will then also ask for a new password for the root user, as part of the installation. __{{emoticon}}__
