Hello to all !
Im using antix for about a month now and there are still some issues that i cant resolve in order to finally get free from xubuntu, i would apreciate some help.

i use my machine to make the backup of the network at the job. But it cant be done with antix becouse the mount point broke after a min or two (im using fusesmb) - there is a topic on this but its not solved (this also happens on 7.2) - i have to install xubuntu again to be able to make the backup.

some webpages dont fit right i would apreciate some help, some examples:

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.correios.com.br"
linktext was:"http://www.correios.com.br"
====================================
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://n4g.com"
linktext was:"http://n4g.com"
====================================
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.kinghost.com.br/"
linktext was:"http://www.kinghost.com.br/"
====================================
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

my storage unit (a micro sd that i use for my R4 is not detected - usb ) -the weird is: my camera storage unit is detect normally.

I really would apreciate help on these, thank you.

I think there is a problem with fuse. I'm not sure what it is but mount points seem to vanish. Try adding the share to /etc/fstab:

//address/share smbfs /mount/point username=username,password=password,user,defaults 0 0

As for the web pages, I have found several web pages lately that will not render in iceweasel. I tried the ones you posted in Midori and they look the same as in Iceweasel so I think it's in the codeing not the browser. Maybe try Opera to see if it improves.

thank you for the directions eriefisher

i will try smbfs on work monday.

about the webpages:
they display fine on debian etch and xubuntu 8.04 (iceweasel and firefox) i tryed opera as you sugested and the same problem happens.
it looks like a bigger space between lines on antix is causing the problem but i dont know where i can find these king of configurations

usb pendrive: still have no clues of what to do here __{{emoticon}}__

You could try and use fdisk to see it the stick/card is seen. Open a terminal and as root run fdisk -l to get a base. Now plug in the device and then run fdisk -l again. Does it show up? If it does you can mount it manually.

You could also use dmesg | tail to give you the last several events such a plugging in a device.

Have you tried using the Mount a connected device in the antiX Control Centre (antiX-M7.5)?
It should show up in the media directory.

For the web pages, you may want to change the font settings in iceweasel, and/or install the msttcorefonts.

Some progress:

my work computer can mount the"pendrive" using the control centre, but only root can write on it __{{emoticon}}__ - looks like my home computer had some problems with the instalation

i was not able to make smbfs work __{{emoticon}}__ help is needed

about the browsers:
i tryed fiferent fonts, ttf-ms, sizes, etc.. still no good.
a cli ubuntu 7.04 + xorg + firefox have the same problem
i changed my home computer to arch and its working ok now - i really needed those sites (except n4g __{{emoticon}}__ )

im still keeping antix on my working computer (since i can use xubuntu on it to work with the network) - please help me fix these problems.

My new install of 7.5 has the same problem; only root can write to the stick. What I have done is open a terminal as root and type
umount /media/sdc1
since this is where my stick mounts. Then I remove the stick, put it back in and remount it using control center, and then I can write as user. I have done this twice now. I was going to look at the permissions on the mount folder to see if there was an issue there, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Try opening rox-filer, click on a space in it and Options->Action Windows->Mount Commands
Change unmount from umount to pumount.

Now see if you can mount/unmount your stick via rox-filer rather than control centre.

I took the time to try this. When I changed umount to pumount in rox filer, the stick auto mounts when I plug it in and it can be written to as root. Right clicking on it to use Mount point"sdc1" > Unmount gives me a"Error: device /dev/sdc1 was not mounted by you. Unmount failed." I can still unmount it in a terminal as root though. Being able to write to it is the important thing. Thanks!

mariel77.

The usb device should show up in /media/ as something like usbdisk.
You should be able to write to the stick as long as the stick permissions are ok.
Right click on the folder and see what Properties show.

On my box, I am able to mount/unmount usb sticks as user.
