'Bug' 1:
Wicd seems to be defaulting to dhcp with a result that router connects, but web pages via browsers do not open. This happens with some wireless/wired chips and not others.

Solution:
Open Wicd Network Manager program, click preferences menu then under the external programs tab change DHCP Client from automatic to dhclient.
Other possible solution is to use rutilt (no wpa only wep), Mepis network or ceni.

'Bug' 2:
In antiX Control Centre ->Hardware ->Setup a Printer doesn't work. The installed app (gtklp) has 'died' on antiX.

Solution:
Install system-config-printer and use it via the menu or type in run or terminal.
Alternatively, set up printing via cups/localhost. See antiX FAQ for how to.

'Bug' 3:
Install option of using the whole of your disk may refuse and bounce you back to the partitioning screen.

Solution:
Manually partition your drive using GParted then do a custom install on the new partitions.

'Bug' 4:
Ext4 option appears in gparted, but installer only offers ext3 and reiserfs.

Solution:
You cannot use ext4 (yet)

'Bug' 5:
ejecrcd error in /etc/init.d

Solution:
Rename file ejectcd

'Bug' 5:
ejecrcd error in /etc/init.d

Solution:
Rename file ejectcd

I don't see this file anti. Is this just a line in a file or the name.

I found another one. I think.
From fluxbox menu, Admin/Tools/Shells/Sh
brings up a roxterm briefly and dies.

I tried the command from the menu in a terminal and got this:
pedro@pedro-desktop:~$ roxterm -e sh --login

(roxterm:29735): Vte-CRITICAL **: vte_terminal_set_background_tint_color: assertion `color != NULL' failed

This is from a clean 8.2 install, btw.

erie, it is the name of the file. If you don't have the file, doesn't matter as it is used for livecd only (I think).
It probably got deleted when you ran the remove mepis-init script.

pedro, yes you are right.

Bug regarding default icewm window theme:
If the window has less than 3 buttons in the upper-right corner, then the window frame doesn't look right. This may be a fault with the theme rather than icewm. We'll have to sort it out with impuwat.

Hi everyone,

I don't know whether this is an antiX-bug, but when I tick"clear packages cache at boot" and"clear system logs at boot", after clicking"ok" the ticks disappear and they do not show the next time I open the system configuration in the control center. I believe this did not happen with antiX 8.0.

Nothing to worry about, I suppose. Just wondering whether there is a way to do this manually from time to time or edit a configuration file etc.

Thanks to Anti and the team for this great distro.

not really bugs :
1. there are 2 message files. one in /boot and one in /boot/grub
2. mountbox can be started with gksu
3. i think different versions of myspell or what program is used for check the spelling in iceweasel are in conflict with each other. i write in english and all the words are underlined with red.

1. That is for those that wish to remove all MEPIS stuff as the message file in /boot/grub gets deleted.
2. mountbox must be run as root user.
3. Has abiword been set up to use US English?

2. i wrote it wrong. i wanted to suggest to use gksu to open mountbox not roxterm. sorry
3. i see that it's set to english. but i removed all the myspell just to make sure. not it only corrects english.

2. good idea __{{emoticon}}__
3. is it ok now?
