If you are an Xfinity customer, they recently had a major data breach.
#102 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Upcoming browser changes » 2023-12-22 20:01:52
The thing about completely independent browsers is that the browsers of today are no longer merely some app, they are an OS unto themselves (for better or for worse). That means a one-person dev team isn't gonna cut it.
I don't know if you wrote this with Pale Moon in mind, but the "nay-sayers" have been saying this about Pale Moon for at least as long as I've been using it, which is about 12 years now.
Some sites outright don't work on FF, you have to use Chrome/Chromium.
Unfortunately this is true, and more so for Pale Moon, which is why one should always have a secondary browser anyway.

Thanks to Camtaf, zephyr, and golinux for your replies. I will try the install in about a week, when I have some extra time off from work. If I encounter any problems, I'll be back. 
#104 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Crowz 5.0 Daedalus amd64 release » 2023-12-17 16:49:32
How easy to use is the installer that comes with Crowz? I'm used to the refracta installer, and am a little concerned about goofing something up, as I have 2 hard drives in my rig.
#105 Re: DIY » Announcement of the OpenMATE desktop environment » 2023-12-16 01:12:18
Good news. I've been using Mate since I started with Linux, but with each new Mate release have been a little disappointed. Based on your screenshot, should we assume that the version of Mate you forked from is 1.4?

Thank you.
#107 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta ISOs » 2023-12-11 23:08:21
Okay, I think I have a better understanding now. I assumed that "nox" meant only no Xfce.
#108 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta ISOs » 2023-12-11 21:59:22
That should give you some info output....
Here's what it shows. Hope it's not too blurry.
#109 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta ISOs » 2023-12-10 20:08:07
I downloaded the "nox" version of Refracta and burned it to a DVD. But I have no idea how to get it to start running. After everything appears to load, I get what looks like a promp, but I don't know what to do at that point. I typed in "user" but that didn't do anything.

Can you please provide sha256 sums for those of us who are a bit paranoid?
#111 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2023-12-06 21:43:33
They're still available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/miyoli … allpapers/
I'm going to download most / all of them.
#112 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2023-12-05 21:14:11
Thanks. Will give it a try soon.
#113 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2023-12-04 21:17:28
Sorry to hear this. Should I take "atm" to mean development may resume in the future?
#114 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2023-12-03 23:07:45
Hi MiyoLinux, I was just wondering if you are still doing Miyo or not (I hope you are). I have noticed there is no Miyo based on Devuan 5, the last release was May of 2022 and that your last post here on the forums was from way back in February. Are you still around, and your project active?
#115 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2023-12-03 17:31:17
Eating organic (if it really is organic) is great, if you can afford it. If everybody would just cut down on stuff made with white flour and white sugar that would go a long way. And for the sake of your body, stop consuming soda pop, even so-called "diet" pop.
#116 Re: DIY » So I guess there's no getting around having to use GTK3 and Wayland? » 2023-11-25 23:51:19
dont get me wrong, i would prefer if everything would work with motif and xenocara, but i understand the drama
I presume you meant "I don't understand the drama"??
My answer would be because of less end-user customization allowed. (If I'm wrong on this point, someone correct me.)
#117 Re: Off-topic » Lennart Poettering (Systemd) Lands at Microsoft After Leaving Red Hat » 2023-11-05 17:06:35
And now Chromium also requires pulse as does the MATE desktop environment.....arrrgh....not sure apulse will fix all that.
VLC still wants it, but in fact only needs libpulse0,
I did not know this. What versions of Mate and VLC require it? There was an update just today for VLC and Chromium, which I installed before seeing this. So I went back to Synaptic and did a search for "pulse" and this is what I have installed:
gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
libpulse-mainloop-glib0
libpulse0
While I have apulse installed, "PulseAudio" itself is not.
#118 Re: Off-topic » Google in trouble again » 2023-10-27 08:51:24
I miss Flash. So many great videos. So many great games. Browsers and Adobe should re-enable it for those of us who are willing to take the risks.
There are browsers out there you can still use Flash on. Also, you would need to use the next-to-last version of Flash, as the last version is "self-destructing."
#119 Re: Off-topic » Is systemd still bad in 2023? » 2023-08-31 20:02:36
If it was bad eleven years ago then it's still bad today. Probably even worse.
#120 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] youtube-dl upgrade problem » 2023-08-23 20:18:43
Use "yt-dlp". Seems old (March) but is actually upto date & works fine.
Latest release was July 6.
#121 Re: Other Issues » Virus scanning on Devuan » 2023-08-09 12:07:44
If I were to run an AV on Linux, I'd just go back to Windows. It would defeat the whole purpose (one of them, at least).
#123 Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Can't figure out how to play DVDs » 2023-05-21 20:28:54

As the subject line states, I can't figure out how to play DVDs. I am trying it using SMPlayer (I don't want to install another app if I can help it). The first thing I did was try every option under SMPlayer Preferences >> Drives >> Select your DVD device. None of them worked. Then I read on another forum to download libdvd-pkg, but that didn't help either. Is it impossible to play commercial DVDs on a Linux machine? I'm pretty sure I've done it before (maybe).
#124 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] HP Color LaserJet CM1312 Multifunction Printer drivers » 2023-04-21 08:51:11
Do you have hplip and cups from the repositories installed?
Since you're new to the forums, let me ask, how much experience do you have with Linux?
#125 Re: Off-topic » Error in VirtualBox, hoping for help » 2023-04-03 20:50:24
First let me say "thanks" to those who offered advice and solutions. With that said, I really should have held off a while before making this post. I decided, instead of dealing with this issue, to just simply buy a cheap refurbished second computer from Amazon so I can use that "other" OS for the two apps that for me have no equivalent in Linux.
