After downloading it (Firefox), I cannot configure it as the default browser. It is not present in the Default Applications Chooser. However, it starts in the terminal and curiously it appears in the Default Applications Chooser and disappears as soon as you close Firefox. Hmmm, Default Application...

I confirm that Firefox is broken by the update. At least /usr/lib/firefox is missing. That is not a bug. 5.8.2 has changed from firefox to chromium builtin. Folder /home/firefox should still be there, with all your bookmarks, history etc. Choose "Download latest Firefox" from the menu to ...

OK, so the code you quoted from easy-version-control is working. It will include /home/firefox/.cache in the exclude list. This is intentional, as the cache grows very big, and isn't really needed to be saved. Ditto /root/.cache is in the exclude list. The only thing that I can see wrong with the co...

I confirm that Firefox is broken by the update. At least /usr/lib/firefox is missing. I returned to Easy 5.8.1(via easy version control) to see exactly what files are missing . It was a error Edit : new topic created for the snapshot problem https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11559 Thanks...

Rollback to an earlier version is broken. I posted that it is broken in the 5.8.2 announcement: https://bkhome.org/news/202405/easyos-582-released.html Also mentioned it in this forum. There are quite a few things wrong, I expect to fix it in 5.8.3. Thanks for reporting that fault in easy-version-co...

I did the upgrade and everything seemed to be working okay and then with 5.8.2 no working Firefox and also having issues with Chromium so I'll wait until everything gets worked out.

With 5.8.2 you will have to choose "Download latest Firefox" from the menu.

BarryK

Sorry about that.
I have uploaded md5sum.txt

Note that 5.8.3 is likely to be released tomorrow.

BarryK

Regarding Easy 5.8.2, yes it is out, but 5.8.3 is expected to be released very soon.

Still haven't fixed rollback to previous version, from the initrd menu. Thought had it fixed, but hit another problem.
Maybe tomorrow.

I updated one of my spare boxes with 5.8 and had no problems with firefox. After an hour of playing around i decided to upgrade it to 5.8.1 and the firefox "black screened" a few minutes later. Looking at the monitor settings seemed ok until i checked the screens video status, it said it ...

I am running 5.8.1 from the hard drive. I had a very strange glitch trying to record from vinyl. (have not done this before with EasyOs). After several attempts I was finally able to get the rear port input recognized, using pulse audio and alsa mixer (not sure what actually worked) and I captured ...

I am finding Firefox too annoying to use, going back to Chromium builtin: https://bkhome.org/news/202405/easyos-going-back-to-chromium-builtin.html I'm seeing a lot of browser tab crashing in both the latest versions of Firefox and Chromium. Does anyone else see this issue? I`m also seeing these; R...

SFSs consume RAM not because they're added to the aufs/overlay stack, but because initrd copies the SFS from disk to a tmpfs in RAM (and then mounts the copy). It's not squashfs, aufs or overlay that do this copying, but initird (unless you specify pfix=nocopy ). If mounted directly from disk witho...

Wow how cool is this. When I updated from 5.7 to 5.8 I lost all of my Chromium bookmarks. I updated from 5.8 to 5,8.1 rebooted and my Chromium icon was on my desktop. I tried it and of coarse it didn't work so I went to the menu and saw I could download the latest version of Chromium so I did. I tr...

An update about the black screen with kernel 5.15.150+ A kernel developer advised me how to use "git bisect" to track down which commit it causing the problem. Which I did, and posted the result to them yesterday. Waiting to see if they will do anything about it. I'll post the steps I went...

Thanks Barry Running the latest snapshot of QV now. I notice the network does not work when X is restarted. Same for Easy OS Kirkstone. The screen starts flashing. I also got a message "godpw" in my url in firefox from a potential hacker who doesn't appreciate your hard work in removing a...

You have reminded me; I will remove EasyVoid, as it is superseded by QV. Anyway, EasyVoid or QV, a foreign desktop wallpaper manager will not work. EasyOS and QV have ROX Filer file manager, which also handles the wallpaper. Wallpaper can only be selected via Qwallpaper, in the Desktop category of t...

OT: Thanks @BarryK for your blog post about Gittyup. It's a nice tool. I previously only used "gitk" and "git gui" but nice to have something a bit more integrated. I built version 1.4.0 (the latest git master), and it can use system's openssl 3.x. Still need to use its own (pat...

When EasyOS began to boot, it said something about deferring the previous saved session or something like that, then just sat there for a while,. So I poked the reboot button on the computer. It booted to the same note about deferring, but this time quickly got past it and reported a lot of filesys...

What happens if you launch it from a terminal: # ec-chroot kirkstone easy It seems that the problem with 5.15.150+ kernel is due to a commit that affects only the Picasso/Raven AMD GPU. At least so it seems, after examining the changelog. I have contacted the kernel developer who submitted that pat...

The update 5.7 to 5.8 was without apparent problem (Processor AMD E-350 APU with Radeon HD Graphics) But the server X crashes when the kirskstone container is launched. Update 5.8 to 5.8.1.

I can confirm that the tree-2.1.1.pet, from here , works in EasyOS 5.7. I haven't yet booted EasyOS 5.8 (I have an AMD A4 7300 processor) but I expect tree will work there too. Any chance that tree and copy-fast could be included in 5.8? They are small programs that I find useful. What does 'tree' ...

BarryK

I looked briefly at the kernel changelog, seems like lots of amd gpu related commits before kernel 5.15.154, so I compiled 5.15.153 last night.
No good, still get black screen.
Have to go further back.
