MemberI’ve tried change mac address but connman doesn’t show the networks same happen in beta isos or upgrading from 23 to 25, then I tried ceni it changes the mac connects to networks but dns seems failing in /etc/network/interfaces it shows correctly but system show 0.0.0.0:udp
Tried both dhcp and static
Is there other place to set the dns using ceni?I’ll use this beta on other systems where I don’t feel need to change mac
Other than that looks nice feels nice and the zram at installer was smart
Thanks !I had trouble getting into networks on my latest system because it requires a V6 kernel, so you have to go to the menu each time you boot the beta and first select the modern kernel if you have a modern system, then select the other options, and last, select which init, then start. For me, after performing these initial steps I had better success. All of this is when running live. If I decide to install this, I’ll get rid of the V5 kernels at least for my newest system.
6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp is the default one
Yes, I’m running the 6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp kernel too, but for me, when I boot, unless I explicitly set it up during boot, the Version 5 kernel is the default, not 6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp. Is it different for you?
I simply went for the first option at grub which uses runit and it uses 6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp default yes

Brian MasinickModeratorAlso, @ProwlerGr mentioned difficulty getting the right network manager running with s6. I got over that obstacle by opening a terminal tab and switching to root, then the /sbin directory, then directly invoking connmand. I did it the lazy way and kept that tab open to ensure that the daemon for Connman stays running, and I’m here with s6 –

Brian MasinickModerator@anticapitalista: Great!
I am curious about SysVinit as well.EDIT:
1) Is SysVinit considered supported, second tier, legacy, orphaned.
Because SysVinit service(s) can be easily made to work in runit and SysVinit, the transition could be straightforward (though tedious).2) Can this beta1 release be considered reasonably “mature” to use as an installation medium (asking because one of my to-Trixie-upgraded antiX is messed up)?
Perhaps I am mistaken about this, but during earlier discussions I believe it was stated that we’d keep supporting sysVinit for a few more years from our current releases (antiX 23.2 versions) and move to other alternatives in antiX 25; if that’s wrong I can be corrected, but that is my recollection.
I’m liking this well enough to put it on my partition 4 on the Lenovo T14, but right now I have a really nice antiX Trixie dinit respin there; before I install I want to remaster my most recent copy of that image so I can switch back to it (maybe), depending on how well I like this AFTER I’ve installed it AND integrated my usual tools on it.
I’ve been able to get all four init working but I’ve had to “play games” explicitly starting or restarting the Connman daemon process connmand so that it functions properly with the s6 versions. Otherwise my experiences have been pretty positive, noting this and the few other quirks we are already aware of.

anticapitalistaForum AdminOk the bug report
The dns thing in ceni seems global no internet on another system without changing mac using ceni,
connman works without changing macAlso not able to install libdbus-1-dev
Unsatisfied dependencies: libdbus-1-dev : Depends: libdbus-1-3 (= 1.16.2-2.0nosystemd2) but 1.16.2-2.0nosystemd3 is to be installed Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions: 1. libdbus-1-3:amd64=1.16.2-2.0nosystemd2 is not selected for install 2. libdbus-1-3:amd64=1.16.2-2.0nosystemd2 is selected as a downgrade because: 1. libdbus-1-dev:amd64=1.16.2-2.0nosystemd2 is selected for install 2. libdbus-1-dev:amd64=1.16.2-2.0nosystemd2 Depends libdbus-1-3 (= 1.16.2-2.0nosystemd2)That’s because they are still in dev repo.
They will be moved over to main asap.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

weird, I don’t think this is kernel related issue but since I changed kernel from 6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp after reporting ceni/connman problems

Brian MasinickModeratorI simply went for the first option at grub which uses runit and it uses 6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp default yes
Once installed, sure; in fact, after installation, at least on the system I’m using I removed the V5 kernel because the network card doesn’t recognize it.
Otherwise the 6.6.101-antix.1-amd64-smp works fine; I have it installed on another antiX installation and it works fine there too.
