@Greenjeans
Thanks for the explanation, ill start using that combo from now on.
Im not on the computer enough for dpms to do its thing, at most i get slock and xautolock to lock the screen after being away for 15 min. I dont know why, im the only person in the house lol, i could probably remove it.

Also what is this?
/usr/local/Tradox/tradox_traductor.py

I was trying out kde plasma a few weeks ago on a vm and had the same issue.
I had to import the default settings in window keyboard shortcuts or something.
It was just a case of clicking the import button and the defaults filled in automatically.
Originally the shortcuts for windows were all blanked out.
I donbt have the vm anymore so unsure of the exact name of the settings off hand now.

Are you talking about the search bar icon to the left that has a drop down menu of other search engines? Provided you have other search engine shortcuts?

I think you might be talking about the about:config setting as per below, try setting it to false and see if that is it?

browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride

Otherwise please upload an image as tux_99 mentions.

If you just want a blank page when you open firefox, try this. I got it from the arkenfox user.js i use in firefox.

1) go to about:config
2) copy paste this into the search browser.startup.homepage
3) double click that link and change whatever is there (usually its about:home) to chrome://browser/content/blanktab.html

I cant help with the duckduckgo icon thing sorry.
arkenfox user.js link if you are interested.

You could try Aqemu which is a gui frontend for qemu, it would be good for people who used virtualbox.
Maybe not as many bells and whistles im not sure, but its a starting point to learn more about the powerful qemu type 2 hypervisor.

Are you dual or multi booting different linux systems?
It sounds like you may have had the efi mounted to the wrong partition?

My /boot/efi partition was definitely mounted, i was able to chroot into it the upgraded devuan from a live usb and correct the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR line in
/etc/default/grub and that fixed it. That was the first thing i checked as i was getting a partial grub loading screen and then blackness, then boot loop.

Spacefm Bookworm/Daedalus just works.
Spacefm Trixie/Excalibur has a segfault where if I press the left alt button a few times it segfaults with glib errors.
So say if i use alt tab to change windows a few time with spacefm, boom segfault.

By favored i mean it was my favorite hifi system at the time after going through 2 others hifi brands/systems from as far back as the early 80's to late 80's.
The Denon surround sound was incredible at the time (around 1998), first album i played on it was Metallica's Master Of Puppets and it gave me goosebumbs at how clear and loud the sound was. Times change though and I lost interest in having nice things as people in my life ruined them on me. At the moment I live in shared accommodation so space and my own noise are at a premium.

So steve, you just use an old HP PC as a sound server that runs all that hardware? Very cool, would love something like this oneday.
Ive always favored Denon, used to have $3k Denon setup back in the 90's, not connected to a computer but just the amp, cd/tape tuner and speakers setup.
