Fun and games on AntiX 11 base, Fluxbox and Mate, on my motorcycle shop desktop
last night while drinking and rocking and rolling.

Being as this is my media center in the shop. Gotta have sound. Then in a tipsy state I figured I'd do a

apt-get dist-update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Making sure I had reset everything back to testing from Unstable first with the Alsa fix.

Then in Drunken joy proceeded to boldy go further. I say screw it and bull rush into a 810MB package download with 10 to be removed and 250MB of disk drive space will be used.

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.

blah blah blah

After the apt-get -f install. Did a few more apt-get dist-upgrades to be sure. Said screw it and blew away orphaned packages and cleaned cruft. Noticed Conky and conky-all was being uninstalled . Hey. At least I noticed. __{{emoticon}}__

Anyhows. Reboot. No Desktop. No Slim. Error is no xterm. So screew it. I install xterm in init 3 bootup. startx. I get my fluxbox menu with rightclick on a black desktop with no panels (I run lxpanels in this install). Error message when I tell it to open rox in the menu,"Can't open, are you sure you don't have another Desktop running/"

Time to open another beer and forget about it. Enter this morning. Plan of attack. I have a LXLE DVD I burned for when I sold the eeepc netbook. I boot it and carve uo drive and install it. Move my stuff in AntiX over to LXLE to backup. Using grub2 now to boot AntiX 11. Fun and games still. When done. I open gparted in LXLE. I right click on AntiX partition . I pick Check to run e2fsck on it. Let it finish.

I reboot into AntiX 11. Still no Slim. startx then instead. I hear my startup and Fluxbox and LXpanels and everything shows. Moral of this story for new users.

If you are stubborn like me and fight to the finish. You might end up like this

So I guess the lesson learned is not to mix beer with linux late at night. __{{emoticon}}__

(Nice screenshot, as always.)

Liqourix kernel and
Kernel name script (does not work on AntiX kernels but works on Liqourix and Debian kernels). I named it kernelname and put in Documents folder in /home.
