Hi, I run Killa P in a eeepc 1000h since June.
Previously to dist-upgrade Ceni was not suviving a reboot. Now, after dist-upgrade Ceni don't find any wirless.

-Driver: ATL1E
I don't know if it's the correct wireless card information.

There is no sound either.
- Card: Intel NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controler.
- Driver: snd-hda-intel
- Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4. 0. 5-antix. 1- 486-smp

Kernel: 4. 0. 5-antix. 1-486-smp i686 (32 bit gcc: 4.9.2)

Durn, give a bro some time to respond as we are a small community.

Try installing a older kernel. I need a older kernel on this older atom netbook myself.

Those are not all antix member views. Plus 4 hours is not a long wait as we all have long working days and
different time zones across the world.

Probably a dodgy download, s/he doesn't say that s/he checked it.

As always. I have broad shoulders though to shoulder my mistakes and take the blame.

My bad on misreading the wait. Try reading and posting in 100+F heat to know where I am coming from. __{{emoticon}}__

A simple bump instead of a attitude change would have sufficed.

Agreed. (I wasn't blaming you or anyone else...)

of note this morning I setup a new antiX-15 install with testing repos enabled (as noted by others, the installer does not respect the choice for testing repos).

however, a dist-upgrade this morning removed the following packages:

antix-installer, cups, cups-core-drivers, cups-daemon, grub-customizer, hplip, libarchive12, libhogweed2 libnettle4 libqt4-gui, ndiswrapper-common, printer-driver-gutenprint, printer-driver-hpcups, printer-driver-postscript-hp, printer-driver-splix, xserver-xorg-video-modesetting, xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion

after the upgrade, cups of course no longer starts, and edit icewm settings is missing from control center. and there is a memory monitor and some sort of power monitor enabled in the system tray that I didn't configure and can't figure out how to get rid of. I did not lose network or sound though. very very strange stuff in the testing repos.

so if the OP is using the testing repo, I heartily suggest if he chooses to reinstall, to stick with the stable/jessie repos.

No problem Jerry. I was on vacation most of the week last week and was off line. So I can see how days could have gone by as I am usually the 1st to reply to a post here if I see no answers.

I know the OP does not know this. Oh well. Just self inflicted wounds, but not mine.

tracked down the cups problem...cups now has libsystemd0 as a dependency, but its not installable.

Comment out 00systemd in / etc/apt/prefernces.d I guess.

Code: Select all

Package: *systemd*
Pin: origin""
Pin-Priority: -1
Then re-enable after the cups fix. Systemd is like Hawaiian lava flow. Slow but steady.

actually, I did lose my network upon reboot as well. hmm....

turns out a nameserver (dns server) is not being written to / etc/resolv.conf upon boot. simply taking the interface down and then backup resolves the issue, until the next boot. you can do this either with ifup/ifdown at the cli, or reconfiguring with ceni or disabling/reenabling with wicd.

so something with the networking startup chain is failing at boot to write the nameserver address to the / etc/resolv.conf.

i fear the hand of systemd here, but I can't prove it.

edit: btw, this was testing with a wired interface, so I don't think wireless is really the culprit here anymore.

removing my eth0 interface from / etc/network/interfaces and then just allowing the wicd-daemon to handle the configuration survived reboot. The network interface worked as expected.
