A dedicated how-to section would be useful though IMO, there's already some scattered about on the forum, and I have a couple that i'd like to add but sometimes it's difficult to figure out where to put them.

*Update*

Problem is in webkit somewhere, I saw a thread on the Slitaz forums where someone had a similar issue, and a user pointed out that their version of webkit had been compiled with some video flag off.

It's only doing this with webkit browsers, that's why everything else works and both Midori and my python browser won't.

Can anyone confirm?

FYI I posted this with the python-browser 'cause I know how happy that makes Cynwulf.

Duly noted, I will give it a try too.

I'm pretty happy with Palemoon so far in Vuu-do as it's been a decent compromise between size and useability, but I really want to fine-tune things now so i'm re-checking all the options again.

Really wish I could figure out the Midori thing, it's even better size-wise and i'm trying to reduce wherever possible while retaining functions.

The mhtml thing bugs me, I really prefer the format for saving pages for offline use, my time online is limited, so a lot of the time when I have a ton of reading/studying to do I just download content for later. Chromium is way ahead there.

Yeah Palemoon works great, plays youtube fine and everything else too. Have not checked Midori with alternate video site or local, will do so, I don't know if flash works or not as i'm not installing that garbage ever again. Adobe can take a long walk off a short pier as far as i'm concerned.

Midori won't do video of any kind at the moment on my machine, I have all the things it needs and video works fine on all the other browsers, but no joy so far.....

libpulse0 gets dragged in with some of the media programs, VLC will do it.  My basic understanding from the documentation is that it's just there to translate if you are on a network and trying to deal with another machine that uses pulseaudio. In practice though it will dump a pulsecookie on you and make itself at home in your Home. I left part of it since VLC wants it but de-fanged it so it doesn't poop out pulsecookies every session.

Oh most definitely, but there are times that policy will cause some bit of functionality to be left out, i'm going through all the programs I use one-by-one trying to add what's needed for common functions back in now.

Great info cynwulf, thanks for responding!  It's all the little things that add up, I ran a test snapshot last night of the maximal version and it's down to a tidy 585 mb, and yet it does more than ever.

Long dang process doing this stuff, and quite a ways to go yet.

Added python-lxml today, it's a "recommend" for Inkscape, not a depend, but in practice the filters and extensions won't work without it. Again I like the modularity so i'm not gonna complain, in fact it's great, really narrowing down now what's _actually_ needed to run this system and what's not.

Replaced Handbrake's monkey-face-of-shame.png with new png's I made from the original ginormous SVG, did the same for tint2conf and anything else that was still trying to use SVG's in the menu.

Added some more updating to the OXY2-ZEN icons, adding a couple more icons tonight to bring it further up-to-date and add some functionality.

Well I don't sweat the off-topic part of it, but it is an opinion, one I don't share after many years of using Bleachbit.

Bleachbit isn't capable of modifying binaries without some extra code. The default settings don't touch system files that are critical, you would have to write a custom cleaner to even do so. Bleachbit in normal use is only a quick shorthand app to do cleaning a user should normally do anyway, linux is not perfect and some files never get truncated or deleted in a timely fashion and you get ginormous logs, xsession-error files etc.

The root account gets clogged up too if you use it a lot, which I do, some folks run as root all the time.

It's completely configurable, and you can turn off anything you don't want touched. I set all the default settings for Beachbit in Vuu-do, and they are the same settings i've used for the last almost 8 years that i've been using it. Literally several tens of thousands of times that I have run Bleachbit, and I have yet to have a problem. I even write distro-specific custom cleaners from time to time and they always work well. Bleachbit has saved me cumulatively many hours over the years of having to do all the stuff by hand before I make an iso run.

Again, getting around to checking out all the programs that should work without me having to check them, lol.

Added libreoffice-pdfimport so Writer would actually perform the task which is it's main reason for existence in Vuu-do, don't understand why it wouldn't be built-in as that's gonna be the most common task for it, but I do appreciate modularity so i'm not gonna complain.

Added the cups pdf driver too just in case it had an issue with printing pdf's, I don't have a printer to test, hope it works!

Wiped out more cruft.

Did a fresh install on wife's machine, hadn't messed with her laptop for many months, and that's where I found the pdf bug. But her machine also has two sound devices, one for the HDMI output and one regular, and Volumeicon wouldn't start as a result because it uses the first card by default (card 0) and that was the HDMI one.

10 second fix was to create an ~/.asoundrc :

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
 }

ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
 }
