MemberWhy should I? antiX 23.2 has always given me that without any prompt. Why should it do so now?
I suppose it some file downloaded with system upgrade which has caused this problem.
So, how can I resolve this issue?- This topic was modified 1 month, 3 weeks ago by aupmanyav.

christopheModeratorExplain your situation more… What you wrote does not sound like any antiX I know…
Which version of antiX (core/full, version number)? Where do you see this “prompt”? Did you install anything new after installation?- This reply was modified 1 month, 3 weeks ago by christophe.

MemberI have antiX 23.2 Base, software upgraded, (old Bios). No problem other than the initial delay about not getting startup menu.
No additional software loaded.
Also antix 23.2 Core (where I have problem of having a blank screen for not following the last step of Christophe’s advice about backgrounds)$ inxi -F

MemberChristophe, I followed your advice (you know antiX better than me, if you prefer back.png with jwm, there has to be a reason, perhaps something that cannot be put in words).
And happily that has proved successful. I do not get the notice to press ESC now and the boot starts immediately. Then, I changed the wm to my choice, fluxbox, and there also I have not encounted any problem.
Somehow antiX seems to prefers back.png as background, and I have no problem with that. Actually I like it better than antiX3.jpg.
So, many thanks to you for the tip.
(However the other problem with the blank page and inactive mouse pointer remains. If a solution is not available, I will probably reinstall the Core correctly)- This reply was modified 1 month, 3 weeks ago by aupmanyav.
