xdelta3

This is the latest stable version of xdelta. If you have this version, the syntax to create and apply the patch is different from xdelta.
Applying the xdelta3 patch (obtaining the final image from initial file + patch)

As xdelta above, but use this syntax.

xdelta3 -d -s fromfile patchname.delta tofile

ie you are missing the fromfile antiX iso (antiX-17.a2_386-full.iso) so it will be

xdelta3 -d -s antiX-17.a2_386-full.iso antiX-17-full-a2_a3.delta antiX-17.a3_386-full.iso

So basically I am trying to apply a a2 to a3 patch to already patched a3 iso?

Crazy Biker. Trix is for kids. I will proceed on to dd and make the usb then. I thought something I was doing was screwy.

This live USB will be made to install to my Motorcycle dual boot antix/MX desktop computer and I will break out some moth balled laptops to give it a go on.

Dell Precision T3400 server. Dual MX and Antix booter. Made usb with dd in MX.

Panasonic CF-48. Dug out of mothballs.
Using both desktops 1 and 2 in Icewm/rox-desktop.
3 terminals open on desktop 1 with conky going. Just did a dist-upgrade and hammered this old bird for all she is worth.

Desktop 2 is firefox I am typing this out in . Now opening a terminal there also to show cpu usage for another thread here.

Everything in this limited test is working so far. Sound, Touchpad, Internal wireless card.
This laptop runs little hot because of pentium r and age of the machine. I have already used fresh arctic silver cpu pasted on the cpu on this laptop besides other fixes < new used lcd cable and inverter >

softpedia.com homepage is reporting today a new antiX (MX?) version release

???

dolphin_oracle · posted: 2017-05-28 22:29

yeah, we need to separate the mx and antix sourceforge I fear. too many sites follow the rss feeds for updates.

known issues:

* IceWM theme switching /conky readout blurred as on a2. Can't find a fix for this. Just turn off conky in the menu and turn it back on again to remove the blur.

Again, it's not"blurred", rather it is 2 or more instances running.
The apparent"blur" is from the stacked transparent-backgrounded conky windows each drawing to the screen.

To avoid the problem in the"default, as shipped" configuration:
do not call"conky &" from within the ~/.icewm/startup file (same goes for the fluxbox startup file).
Instead, autostart conky from the desktop session startup file.

Consider what occurs when user performs"Desktop --} Other Desktops" change.
If conky is already running...
when icewm (or fluxbox) restarts, if the window manager startup file calls conky... that's what is causing the multiple conky instances.

What d_o and I had discussed a while back (and I thought he had implemented) was precluding multiple instances of other (not just conky)"window manager autostarted" programs, e.g. the"clipit" utility.
Maybe at the time, we were targeting the wrong (desktop-session) script.
Regardless whether"default, as shipped" starts conky and/or clipit from desktop-session, each of ~/.icewm/startup ~/.fluxbox/startup ~/.jwm/startup
probably need to call
killall conky &
killall clipit &
in case the user had manually started those (prior to performing a"Desktop --} Other Desktops" change).

just an fyi-- I didn't make any changes to desktop-session. I did make a change to the set-dpi and auto-mount apps to kill conky before restarting the desktop with the internal desktop-session command.
