Hi, I was helping out on a local City forum where someone was having issues in another OS with a video. I did a search for Light Browsers and Midori came top of the list. I have used this in the past on other distributions of GNU/Linux but not had brilliant performance. When I installed from apper the machine froze. So I downloaded the one from the official website which indicates version 1.1.4 - no issues. My only issue now is that the Updater is pointing to the one in the repos, 7.2 which has a freeze bug. No such issues in 1.1.4 from the Official Midori site. I am continually getting reminders to update this and can't remember the syntax for blocking this so it doesn't keep coming up. For the tine being I am just unchecking it in Apper when other updates come through. Thanks.

For me I am currently using login and logout sounds from Ultimate Edition Oz B-II edition which you can download from here:

I just wish there was a way (possibly a script? I'm no script writer) to get the desktop-greeting to work at login! Much nicer than Knoppix greeter!

Hi,

Sadly this last week I had to install Teams on Devuan as it did not pick up the Webcam as I am currently undertaking Mandarin Class via Teams. This meant quickly having to install Teams on Devuan which I didn't want to do as my experience is that it takes over the machine (even after removing it from startup applications!) Aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhh!

lsusb in Konsole on the Host picks up the id and correctly identifies the device:

In Qemu Under USB connections I have:

I am aware that when using VB I had to change the USB settings toi 1.1 (shows how old the webcam is). Would I be better off upgrading the webcam  to a newer model?

Thanks.

Guess it's covered in the title. When I receive update notifications in the panel, telling me there are 4 updates I click on the update button, Discover interface opens but nothing happens. I only recently discovered that I have to use apper manually to install the updates. Is this because there is a security issue/bug in Discover?

Hi,

I am having some Java issues. I am aware that the de-facto current version in Linux appears to be version 11.0. In another distribution I had to remove 11.0 and installed 8.0. I am going seriously wrong in Devuan 3.0 for this application to work. It isn't packaged particularly well - the 'Linux version' is just a zip file which also includes the installer for Windows and Mac. The Linux version just runs from an .sh script. It needs the Java package that comes with it linked via a shortcut to the desktop. I've tried doing the same as on other OS also running KDE Plasma (but a slightly newer version of Plasma) without much issue until the most recent stable version seemed less stable than the one I had been using earlier.

This is the error message I get when trying to launch the application:

FATAL ERROR: BrailleBlaster will now close
