        username: audax
        
        password: live



### Installation notice.


        Calamares installer's autologin without password was not tested during the installation as it is not compatible with Slim.


        Disk encyption is not currently implemenented to PostX via Calamares.
        

The two features listed above, will be implemented in the future releases of PostX Gnu/Linux.        


### Installation using usb.


Burn PostX to usb (Destroyes all data from the usb). 


Be cautious on the steps below. Verify your device addresses with lsblk or sudo gparted (or some other way).


        sudo dd if=postx_image_location_here of=/dev/device_name_here && sync


Do not use partition location on device_name_here. For example: /dev/sdb1 is wrong; 

/dev/sdb is correct.


Installing the system from live environment:


        sudo su #become root.


        calamares #start the installer.


You should create at least:


        Root partition (/)


        Boot partition (/boot/efi 300-400M)


        Swap (3-4G)
        

Personally, I also always create a dedicated /home partition.


After installation: Enable PostX Gnu/Linux package repository by removing # in front of its the deb line:


        sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/postx.list
        
        
The deb line should be made to look like this:


        deb [trusted=yes] https://www.techtimejourney.net/postx-current postx main

		
Save the file and do: 


        sudo apt-get update		



### Additional features.


##### View images with feh.

        
Open a terminal and type: 


        feh your_image.jpg/png


##### Take screenshot with scrot.


Open a terminal and type:


        scrot your_screenshot.jpg/png


You can also add sleep, of twenty seconds etc.:        


        sleep 20 && scrot your_screenshot.jpg/png


### Known issues.


Sometimes Pulseaudio connection breaks. This seems to happen when exiting Openbox and login back in via Slim. 

If the Pulseaudio connection breaks you will see very high sound levels as the error occures. To remedy the issue, open a terminal and execute:

        pulseaudio -D
