Dan made a post just 2 days ago on his sourceforge page, and made no mention at all of this other version.

EDIT
Got the answer on Dan's sourceforge page (the link above), yes he does endorse Jim's version.

Are you blocking any scripts? Have you tried problem websites in a brand new clean profile?

Did Dan ever mention why he stopped developing Miyo?

Today's update to 125.0.6422.112-1 fixed the problem.

Is version 125.0.6422.76-1 the one you're on now? That's the version I was updated to yesterday.

I have multiple profiles for Chromium. For the default profile, I have a shortcut on the desktop (which still works). For my second profile I have a shortcut on the panel. After today's update, this shortcut on the panel for the second profile no longer works. See the image below for what I get.

This is the command for the shortcut:

/usr/bin/chromium --profile-directory="Profile 2"

Everything worked fine for months, through every update, until today. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this? (Yes, I rebooted the computer.) BTW, I can still access the second profile via the default, but would like the shortcut to be fixed. Thanks.

Check out this link, see if there's something there that can help before you go the nuclear option. smile

From the link below:

Specifically, the nefarious code baked into the code is designed to interfere with the sshd daemon process for SSH (Secure Shell) via the systemd software suite,

So does this mean that Devuan and others based on Devuan would be immune from this malware, even if it is installed?

Found the answer. fonts-noto-core did the trick.

So a developer of XZ for Debian has put malware in it. From what I understand it only affects those who are using testing or the unstable branch. Look to see if you are using versions 5.5.1alpha-0.1 (uploaded on 2024-02-01), up to and including 5.6.1-1. I'm on version 5.4.1, so I'm good.

Does anybody know if there are any fonts in the repos that will display Samaritan characters? I did a search in Synaptic for "samaritan" but absolutely nothing showed up. Then I tried "middle east" and nothing there as well.

The problem is solved. It was a bad ethernet port on the back of the router. Switching to a different one fixed it (it's been ~24 hours and no issues).

#114 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-04 00:46:36

About to shut down for the night and did not notice any network disconnections.

#115 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-03 18:51:02

Ron

There are 4 outbound ethernet connectors on the back of my modem. I switched to a different one, and first thing I noticed is that I had a network connection as soon as the boot-up completed, and so far no disconnections (but it's still soon after boot up). I am monitoring it and will report back . . . .

#116 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-03 00:46:33

I wonder if the Ethernet cable going bad can cause this ?? I guess the only way to test it is to change the cable.

#117 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-29 23:20:32

Ron

Xfinity Arris; Model TG1682G. But another reason I don't think it is the modem is because when I lose my wired connection, my son is still connected via the wifi. That's why I think it's something in my system/computer.

#118 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-28 21:30:07

Ron

My router is Xfinity (Arris). Also I'm connected by an ethernet cable, I'm not on wireless. I don't think the router is the problem (but I'm not an expert).

#119 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-26 21:29:30

I'd be interested to see what may cause the drop-outs.

Is there any kind of log I can check for this? Or a message in the network manager? I never had this problem before.

So I don't think this is related to my previous problem here since I noticed this happening somewhat earlier. So far it has caused no problems. I keep getting intermittent messages that my network connection has been lost. It comes back within a minute, but it's really getting annoying. I'd say it happens maybe once every hour or two. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks.

[ Also I noticed that after booting, whereas before I'd have a connection almost immediately, it takes about 30 seconds to a minute after my desktop appears. ]

So there are at  least two ways in this thread to fix this issue, one fix by editing /etc/init.d/connman and another by replacing connman with network-manager, which is the fix I did. My question is: is one way to be preferred over the other, or does it really make no difference?

#122 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-10 13:58:17

Ron

I already marked this as solved, but I'm still curious why network manager does not generate the resolv.conf file as read only as does connman. I am assuming this file is generated by either connman or network manager.

Thanks to all for your help. Marked as "SOLVED."

sorry, I don't know the name of MATE's file manager

Well everything is running fine now. Is there a reason to do this? I have a wired connection, btw.

#125 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-10 13:03:32

Installed network-manager-gnome and uninstalled connman. That fixed it. I had to add 9.9.9.9 first to the resolv.conf file to download network-manager-gnome.

But one thing I now notice since this change is that the resolv.conf file is no longer read only. Is this normal?
