I get a message:

FATAL_ERROR: Can't open theme file: No such file or directory
I contacted one of the developers and he says the package 2.5.0-alpha4 is outdated and also there's something wrong with it, namely the theme (orpheus) that is set in the config doesn't exist.

He suggested I ask the package manager at antiX to upgrade MOC to 2.5.0-beta2 (and look into 'orpheus').
I guess this froum is the right place? Thanks

antiX uses moc from the debian repositories, the version at the time in the repo is the one that you have.
if you want a newer version enable the testing/jessie repos, if they aren't all ready, and run this as root

Code: Select all

apt-get update && apt-get install moc
for the theme, you can find the config file in the home folder under ~/.moc/config search in it for Theme = orpheus
and replace it with another that can be found either in ~/.moc/themes/ or in /usr/share/moc/themes/
as for the latest beta2 it's not in the debian repos, maybe someone will compile it for the antix repos.

Thanks, I'll check the repos and else do the update, when I get back to the place where that laptop is; if you don't hear from me again, it means all went well __{{emoticon}}__

the latest beta is in sid/unstable repos. as mentioned before you can enable them, run the command as root and then disable them.

However, it will upgrade libc libraries and that *might* mean issues installing and compiling other applications eg VirtualBox if you still use Stable repo.

I had no sources.list yet, so I made one and added the 2 mentioned sources, updated, installed the MOC-beta and then uncommented the sources.
All went well; nothing broke as far as I can tell __{{emoticon}}__
I'll check out the conky later too, thanks for the help and advise in all the comments above!
EDIT: I tried to get the conky right, but it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy python
python:
  Installed: 2.7.3-4+deb7u1
  Candidate: 2.7.3-4+deb7u1
  Version table:
 *** 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
added this in conkyrc

Code: Select all

${exec echo $(cmus-remote -Q | grep -m 1 artist | cut -d"" -f 3-)}
${exec echo $(cmus-remote -Q | grep title | cut -d"" -f 3-)}
${execpi 10 python /home/ludo/.mocpdata.py}
At first I put only the 3rd line, but since it didn't work I added also the cmus-lines.
I guess I need to install cmus also to get this right?

At home I compared to the conkyrc I have for LinuxMint. It is simply

Code: Select all

${exec mocp -Q %artist}${exec mocp -Q %song}
so I'll try that next time I'm at the antiX-laptop.

Yep. I had to install cmus when moc broke for me earlier last fall. That was why I reinstalled it later on after reading this thread.
It might be a good idea to install curl also. I use it for my weather script in conky and well as perl.
