Can't see or just don't want to see?
Get off your high-horse. Mr. Torvalds was forced to do it. End of story. Unless you want him to go to prison or pay a hefty fine or whatever.

and then the following politically charged diatribe
I don't see any politically charged diatribe, just facts. And I'm about as unbiased as they come.
#3 Re: Packaging for Devuan » yt-dlp is very outdated » 2024-10-18 15:43:07
It is so outdate that isn't even working anymore
It always is and always will be. This is how I keep it up-to-date when a new version is released:
sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O /usr/local/bin/yt-dlpsudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlpI check for new versions here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
If you go this route, you must totally remove the repo version first or it will get messed up, I believe.
#4 Re: Devuan » Why has no one enhanced sysvinit? » 2024-10-05 02:04:32
A new chapter in SysVinit's history began when Jesse Smith (DistroWatch administrator) took over its maintenance in 2022. There have been several new releases of SysVinit since then, including two releases this year. With each release there are additional enhancements (e.g., minor bug fixes).
I never knew this. I was under the assumption that there had been no new development on sysvinit in years.

I didn't get any updates this morning. How long has it been since you've updated? Can you go to history in synaptic and post what updates you installed today?

It's not just a problem here, I see it on all other forums I frequent. Chalk it up to the average person isn't very bright.

I would suggest reading the link below. Although it is written from a Mint/Ubuntu point of view, over 95% of it is applicable to any distro.

I got the same thing yesterday (Thursday). Just tried it again now (Fri early morning) and it updated. So yeah, sometimes this happens and you have to wait a couple of hours.

I've noticed that Excalibur updates sometime remove packages, then install newer versions of the same package. I'm not sure why it does that, rather than just updating the package, but I'm sure there's a good reason.
This would explain everything.

There was an update today so I installed it as usual. Going into the history, I see three new things listed as installed, not upgraded. They are libc++1-16, libc++abi1-16, libunwind-16. Does anyone know why these were installed when they (apparently) weren't before? And nothing else was installed/upgraded, so that rules out dependencies.

Go to Menu and under "All" find "Preferred Applications." In the Office tab, make sure Atril is selected under Document Viewer.

Why did you not apt-get purge chromium?
I will try that next time I need to completely remove something. Using Synaptic's "Complete Removal" option leaves a lot of leftover folders. So much for "Complete."

That is an emphatic "no." I mean uninstall Chromium, and then manually going through and deleting all the leftover chromium folders left on the system.
#23 Re: Other Issues » Chromium wonky for anybody else? » 2024-07-12 21:59:05
Well it just happened again. Chromium lost one of my profiles. I'll try uninstalling completely and reinstalling. Hopefully that will fix it.

Has Chromium been running wonky for anybody else the last month or so? It started giving me an error message every time I opened it saying that it didn't shut down properly, do I want to restore the tabs? But it always had been shut down properly. One of the last updates seemed to have fixed this issue for me, but now when I create a new profile it keeps "forgetting" it. Happened at least twice. Anybody else getting weird issues with it? It's seriously making me consider going back to Vivaldi. I suppose the first thing I should try is to completely remove it and then reinstall it.

Good luck to file complaints to those corporate WEB-sites.... I can imagine the outcome.
I can say from being on the Pale Moon forum, which suffers from this problem even worse than Firefox, that the usual outcome is to be told "Use Chrome."
And it's not only the sites that are the problem, but also Gooble which has the power to change internet/browsing/web standards, and who also happens to have the most used browser. It's a case of the fox guarding the hen house.
