What's new in ExTiX 17.0

Dec 21, 2016
  • I have made a new version of ExTiX – The Ultimate Linux System. I call it ExTiX 17.0 KDE Live DVD. (The previous version was 16.4 from 160731). The best thing with ExTiX 17.0 is that while running the system live (from DVD/USB) or from hard drive you can use Refracta Tools (pre-installed) to create your own live installable Ubuntu system.
  • ExTiX 17.0 KDE DVD 64 bit is based on Debian 8.6 Jessie/Debian 9 Stretch and Ubuntu 16.10. The original system includes the Desktop Environment Unity (Ubuntu). After removing Unity I have installed KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 with KDE 4.16.
  • My special kernel 4.9.0-11-exton corresponding Kernel.org’s kernel 4.9 – latest as of 161221.

New in ExTiX 16.5 (Oct 12, 2016)

  • ExTiX 16.5 LXQt DVD 64 bit is based on Debian 8.6 Jessie/Debian 9 Stretch and upcoming Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak. (Ubuntu 16.10 is to be officially released 161025). The original system includes the Desktop Environment Unity (Ubuntu). After removing Unity I have installed LXQt 0.10.0.
  • Installed packages:
  • Google Chrome (for Netflix), LibreOffice, BlueGriffon Web Editor, Thunderbird, GParted, Brasero, SMPlayer, GCC and other compilation tools so that you can install packages from source. Furthermore “all” multimedia codecs. Everything the average Linux user could wish for I would say.
  • NVIDIA:
  • I have also installed Nvidia’s proprietary graphics driver 370.28 in this new version ExTiX LXQt. It has support for the following GPUs: Quadro K1200, Quadro M6000, Quadro P6000, Quadro P5000, GeForce 920M, GeForce 930A, GeForce 930M, GeForce 940M, GeForce GTX 950M, GeForce GTX 960M and GeForce GTX TITAN X. This driver will be used automatically if your card is supported.
  • The system language is ENGLISH.
  • Used KERNEL:
  • My special kernel 4.8.0-21-exton corresponding Kernel.org’s stable kernel 4.8. It’s the second latest stable kernel as of now.

  • I have upgraded all packages to the latest version as of 140423.

New in ExTiX Build 140219 (Feb 19, 2014)

  • The installation program Ubiquity (live installer) is now working as intended in ExTiX version 140219. I.e. a new user (your user) will be created during the installation process.

New in ExTiX Build 140216 (Feb 18, 2014)

  • The ExTiX ISO is now a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can very easily be transferred (copied) to a USB pen drive. You can then even run ExTiX from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the stick. I.e. you will enjoy persistence! I've found two scripts which make the installation to USB very simple. My tests show that they work flawlessly on USB installations of all normal Ubuntu systems. Read my INSTRUCTION how to use the scripts.
  • Another big improvement is that ExTiX 14 can run from RAM. Use Boot alternative 2 (Copy to RAM). When the system has booted up you can remove the disc (DVD) or USB stick. You'll need at least 2 GB RAM to run ExTiX that way.
  • ExTiX is now more stable than ever. All packages have been upgraded to the latest version by 140216.

  • The ExTiX ISO is now a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can very easily be transferred (copied) to a USB pen drive. You can then even run ExTiX from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the stick. I.e. you will enjoy persistence! I've found two scripts which make the installation to USB very simple. The scripts are quite ingenious. Unfortunately, it is not me who have created them. I found the scripts on Kanotix website. There was no direct indication of how good the scripts were, but my tests show that they work flawlessly on USB installations of all normal Ubuntu systems. Read my INSTRUCTION how to use the scripts: http://www.extix.se/extix-usb-persistent/
  • Another big improvement is that ExTiX 14 can run from RAM. Use Boot alternative 2 (Copy to RAM). When the system has booted up you can remove the disc (DVD) or USB stick. You'll need at least 2 GB RAM to run ExTiX that way.
  • ExTiX is now more stable than ever. All packages have been upgraded to the latest version by 131223.

  • Also, it is now possible to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers in ExTiX if you want or need it. Please read this instructions: http://www.extix.se/nvidia-extix.html

New in ExTiX 131031 (Nov 2, 2013)

  • This version is based on Ubuntu 13.10 released on October 17, 2013.
  • The original system includes the Desktop Environment Unity (Ubuntu). After removing Unity I have installed Gnome 3.10 (latest version, not yet in Ubuntu's official repositories) and Gnome Classic 3.10 (a perfect replacement for Cinnamon).
  • The system language is English.

New in ExTiX 13 (Apr 29, 2013)

  • ExTiX 13 64bit is a remaster of Ubuntu 13.04 relased 130425. The original system includes the Desktop Environment Unity (Ubuntu). In ExTiX 13, I have replaced Unity with Gnome 3.6.3 and Cairo-Dock 3.2.1. Used kernel is the "my special" Ubuntu kernel 3.8.0-19-exton (Kernel.org's 3.8.8, stable). The system language is English.

New in ExTiX 11 (Oct 27, 2012)

  • Gnome
  • LibreOffice
  • Vlc
  • Live Installer
  • GParted
  • Gnome Shell
  • Based on Ubuntu
  • All codecs installed
  • Flash
  • 64bit
  • Kernel 3.5.0-17-generic

New in ExTiX 10 (May 19, 2012)

  • Previous versions of ExTiX were based on KNOPPIX/Debian. Version 7.0 of ExTiX was based on the Swiss Linux System Paldo. Version 8 of ExTiX was based on Debian Sid. Version 9 of ExTiX was based on Ubuntu 11.10.
  • ExTiX 10 64bit is a remaster of Ubuntu 12.04 released April 26, 2012. The original system includes the Desktop Environment Unity 5.8. After removing Unity I have installed Gnome 3.4, Gnome Shell and Razor-qt so that everyone on the spot (during live operation) can compare the different Desktop Environments. The system language is English.
  • Program content etc.:
  • Among many other programs Libre Office 3.5.3.2, AbiWord, Firefox 12.0, Opera, Thunderbird 12.0.1, Brasero, Vlc 2.0.1, Gimp and win32 codecs. In addition, Java and all necessary additions in order to install programs from source. All programs have been updated to the latest available stable version as of May 17, 2012 >> see a complete list.
  • Passwords
  • The password for live is live. You can only run ExTiX 10 live (from dvd or usb) as the ordinary user live. The password for root is root.
  • Compatibility:
  • Differences: Ubuntu 12.04 and ExTiX 10 is different only in principle to the terms of program content. A general truth: If an original system can run on a particular computer an "Exton remaster" of the same original system can run on the same computer. I never change a Linux system for the worse in terms of auto configuration and hardware detection, etc. It happens that I replace the original kernel, but always to a "better" one with even more native support for various hardware etc.
  • Differences:
  • One big difference in ExTiX 10 though:There is a password for root. After installation to harddisk ExTiX 10 will behave exactly as any other Ubuntu system. You can even remove root's password (if you want). Command (as root): password root -l. Or change it with passwd root.
  • Nvidia's proprietary driver:
  • I have installed driver 295.53 so that you can enjoy the full Gnome Desktop live (if you have a new Nvidia card in you computer).
  • Installation to hard disk:
  • Note that you in advance (just in case) should create a partition of at least 8 GB for ExTiX 10 and a SWAP space double the size of your computer's RAM. Ie if you have RAM of 1024 MB or less. If you have RAM of 2 GB or more it's enough with a SWAP space of 2 GB. The installation program in ExTiX 10/Ubuntu is otherwise "intuitive". Choose manual partitioning and select the partition you created in advance for installation. If you receive the error message The username you entered is invalid: See this solution. SAFE INSTALLATON: Do not change language/locale from default English during installation.
  • USB installation:
  • You should use UNetbootin in Windows or Linux. See a picture how it looks before the installation starts in Windows 7. There's other ways to do it, but using UNetbootin is the best/safest way. However, if you want to install ExTiX 10 to harddisk you will have to run the system from a dvd during installation. If you use Startup Disk Creator in Linux to transfer ExTiX 10 to USB it is possible to install ExTiX to harddisk later on from the USB stick.
  • Change of locale/language:
  • After a harddisk installation you can (of course) change the default language (English) settings. Login as root and go to System Settings >> Locale Support and install necessary language packages. Apply your settings System-Wide. Then edit /root/.bashrc and change at the bottom of that file en_US.UTF-8 to sv_SE.UTF-8 or your preferred language. Restart your computer and everything should be in your choosen language.

New in ExTiX 9 (Jan 1, 2012)

  • ExTiX 9 x64 is a remaster of Ubuntu 11.10 released on 13 October 2011. The original system includes the Desktop Environment Unity with Gnome 3.2. After removing Unity I have installed Gnome Shell and Razor-qt so that everyone on the spot (during live operation) can compare the different Desktop Environments. I have also replaced the original kernel 3.0.0-14-generic with "my" kernel 3.1.6-extix. Kernel 3.1.6 is the latest available stable kernel, which can be downloaded from kernel.org. The system language is English.
  • Why has the kernel been replaced?
  • Latest Ubuntu (11:10) uses kernel 3.0.0-14-generic. There has been added a lot of different kinds of hardware support etc. in the latest stable kernel 3.1.6. So if you have acquired new hardware, which is not supported in Ubuntu 11.10 and/or Linux systems based on Ubuntu 11.10 it might be worth testing ExTiX 9. There is, among other things, support for brand new USB devices, like printers and cameras, etc. Odd support: Wii (which is not supported in Ubuntu's latest kernel 3.0.0-14-generic). If you just want to switch to "my" newer kernel (in your already installed Ubuntu system) you shall do it like this.
  • A. Get the kernel
  • B. Get the kernel-headers
  • Run these commands as root:
  • 1) dpkg -i linux-image-3.1.6-extix_3.1.6-extix-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
  • 2) dpkg -i linux-headers-3.1.6-extix_3.1.6-extix-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
  • 3) cd /lib/modules
  • 4) update-initramfs -ck 3.1.6-extix
  • 5) update-grub
  • Program content etc
  • Among many other programs LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Firefox, Brasero, VLC, Gimp and win32 codecs. In addition, Java and all necessary additions in order to install programs from source. All programs have been updated to the latest available stable version as of 28 December 2011.
  • Compatibility
  • Differences: Ubuntu 11.10 and ExTiX 9 is different only in principle to the terms of program content. A general truth: If an original system can run on a particular computer a "Exton remaster" of the same original system can run on the same computer. I never change a Linux system for the worse in terms of auto configuration and hardware detection, etc. It happens that I replace the original kernel (which I have done in ExTiX 9), but always to a "better" one with even more native support for various hardware etc. One problem: If you choose to install ExTiX 9 to hard disk or USB disk (not using UNetbootin), you should first disconnect your USB webcam. Towards the end of the installation you are asked to take a "login picture" with the webcam. Then Ubiquity hangs. Nevertheless the actual installation is complete, except for the Grub2 installation, so unless you intend to install Grub2 in MBR (/dev/sda) there is no problem. Just do your changes in Grub2 or Grub Legacy and then restart the computer. Without a webcam plugged in, however, the installation program (Ubiquity) works perfectly. The “webcam problem” is the same in the original system Ubuntu 11.10 64bit. It's a bug even in upcoming Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

UnionFS stacks your ExTiX ramdisk on top of the read-only filesystem on the DVD, the effect being that you can upkg-install, and otherwise modify all of the files on the running system as though they were all writeable. The standard Gnome and System language is English. You can, however, easily change language and keyboard layout to Swedish during upstart of the system from the DVD.
