First of all Thank you for the great distro...I really enjoy it.

Now, the questions I'm having issues with.

How can I keep my preferred screen resolution? I have to keep changing it from 1280x1024 to the one I want to keep..1400x900? I've applied it and whenever I restart the machine it reverts back to the default of 1280x1024. Frustrating.

Also, when updating synaptic I get this error screen...something about invalid signatures expired something or another. How do I correct that?

One more question...How can I set the default browser to Chromium? I've downloaded and installed it and would like to use the icon on the task bar but I can't seem to find out how to do that.

Thanks.

Hi, I don't use antiX. But back when I used, one had to put the desired screen resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so it would stick.
You can also append to the boot line (in case antiX is still using GRUB-legacy, then that is in the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst) xres=1400x900
In case you come to install antiX in other machines, remember to set the correct resolution when booting the live-CD/USB by hitting F3 when in the boot menu. Then that resolution will carry on to the installed system.

Regarding the missing signature, if it's the one from Goggles repository then you can ignore it. There may be a way to tweak /etc/apt/apt.conf to ignore that specific signature, but I can't tell it.

To make Chromium the default browser, open a root terminal and

Code: Select all

update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
then choose chromium's number from the list.
