antiX v386 base iso

leenie · posted: 2015-09-09 20:42

I have installed this on a very old pc, using JWM (Gateway Solo 3100, 160 mb ram, 233 mhz processor). I cannot get the antiX Control Centre to open. Does anyone have any ideas how to get it open? I tried run from the menu, antixcc and antixcc.sh, I tried from terminal with gksudo.

Just asking. How much /swap do you have and have you md5sum checked the iso before burning the cd?

Also does antixcc.sh sit in /usr/local/bin? You can use

Code: Select all

sudo updatedb

wait for it to finish

then use

Code: Select all

 locate antixcc.sh

to find it's location. Howdy and Welcome to AntiX.

Oh, can you post a

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxz

so we can see your gear?

Thank you for your quick reply. I did check md5, I did do the update, I did locate file antixcc.sh and checked the permissions while I was in there. I also checked the menu settings where you can show and hide menu entries. I was able to get online with ceni. I have to boot up my old pc to get the listing of my gear. Please don't laugh when I post it. XD

As you can see, I downgraded the kernel. The new one made my fan scream.

Smart move on your part. I down grade the kernel myself depending on the age of what I am running. No worries. I do not laugh at specs. I used t own some real old hard ware here myself until I sold them off.

So when you run antixcc.sh in terminal. Any errors?

Wondering about

Code: Select all

ID-2: swap-1 size: 2.18GB used: 0.03GB

So just to be on the same page. You run a 2 gig swap partition. Which is very good on older gear.

leenie · posted: 2015-09-10 15:19

Yes I use 2 gb swap. Here is what I get when running antixcc.sh:

antixcc.sh
/usr/local/bin/antixcc.sh: line 561: 2199 Illegal instruction gtkdialog --program=ControlCenter

sudo antixcc.sh
/usr/local/bin/antixcc.sh: line 561: 2259 Illegal instruction gtkdialog --program=ControlCenter

I tried with and without sudo.

You can check what command is in this line of the script; if leafpad is your text editor just do

Code: Select all

sudo leafpad /usr/local/bin/antixcc.sh

sudo leafpad /usr/local/bin/antixcc.sh

Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG) : failed to retrieve property `GtkRange: :activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file file value"((GString*) 0xb92a4460)" of type `GString'

I am trying to figure out how to attach copy of actual file it is long.

google search results"illegal instruction gtkdialog" suggest that downgrading to an earlier version of gtkdialog package
(which had been compiled with an earlier verision of gcc) might resolve the problem.

What other apps in antix utilize gtkdialog? As a troubleshooting step, try launching one of those to see whether they similarly fail
...or install the package for some other gtkdialog-dependent app and try to launch it.

try in terminal

Code: Select all

lxappearnce

and change the gtk theme from there to something else than what you are using.

You can use nano instead of leafpad as a text editor in terminal window.

But what about trying an older release, antiX 13?

BTW Control Centre would not open before downgrading kernel.
I am thinking the same about antiX 13. As long as I can get an up to date, super light browser.

I tried several of the gtk themes, still can't get Control Center open. I am reinstalling antiX 13.1 base and see if upgrading from there works.
