I have been using firefox in previous versions of Easy up to 5.8.1 no issues. I upgraded to 5.8.3 and firefox executable could not be found. I updated firefox and still the same. Downgraded back to 5.8.1 and firefox works fine.
I personally have no interest or desire to use chromium.

Re: NEW SERIES
Unlike most of the more popular (and much larger) distros EasyOS is a one-man project. It is also a fast-moving evolving project, and that would not happen if Barry had to support older versions as well. I think of the different versions as the next rolling release. Certainly Arch doesn't support ...

Re: New AppImage Installer GUI app
An appimage I have been using in EasyOS is LibreCAD.
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases
It runs fine from a terminal.
I have run others in earlier versions of Easy. I will test them and post later.

Re: Thinking about the logo
FWIW I like the name EasyOS. It's easy to set up and run. I also like the old logo. It shows Easy's puppy heritage which is important.
Think about other distro names. What does Debian mean? It's from the first names of the founder and his (then) wife/girlfriend. Slackware? From a parody religion ...

I was referring to firefox installed through the menu "Download latest Firefox", which appears to be independent of PPM.

Re: EasyOS version 3.2.1 released
Still a bizarre way to upgrade. Also, I do not see how to uninstall firefox when installed through the "Download Firefox" menu item, short of deleting the directory.
I have currently set up my profile in a location outside of /home/firefox so it doesn't get deleted in future. I just have to relink ...

Hmm, only note I see is uninstall firefox before upgrading. Does that somehow retain the profile whereas not uninstalling it doesn't?

Re: Any interest in EasyArch, built from Arch Linux packages?
I used Arch for years until the switch to systemd. I would likely still be using it but for that (my system started running less stable after the switch, so I switched). I would be interested in playing around with EasyArch when ready.

Re: EasyOS version 3.2.1 released
I upgraded from 3.2 and it works no problem. Note I had to make sure the laptop was set to internal sound and not HDMI to have sound work straight away. No upgrading if connected to my TV :)

Re: EasyOS 3.1.13 released
FWIW I have no interest in using Chrome (or chromium). I would be going back to using a manual install of Firefox if Chrome is the default.
Just my personal preference, highly coloured by Chrome's insidious marketing efforts when first introduced.

I upgraded from 3.1.11 to 3.1.13 and had to go through this again to get sound working properly. This time I could not get anything BUT my internal speakers to work until manually editing asound.conf.
Next time I upgrade I will change defaults to the internal speakers and disconnect from HDMI and ...

Re: No sound in EasyOS Dunfell
So, I gather those defaults are changed by the multiple sound card wizard because after playing around with it they were back to card 0, device 3.
But, for whatever reason, I now get sound out of the internal speakers when I set default to PCH. So, whatever happened, it fixed the problem :thumbup ...

No sound in EasyOS Dunfell (Fixed itself)
Ok, as I mentioned in the EasyOS 3.0 thread I have no sound from my internal speakers in 3.0.
As it turns out, I was wrong in thinking this was a change from 2.9. I had backed up the 2.9 hd setup I upgraded to 3.0 so I booted into that and discovered the same issue. I guess I hadn't run Dunfell ...

This installs into the home directory.
I should have been more specific. It installs into the home directory of the user running the script, not the EasyOS "Home" (now files) directory.
In my case I just put it in /root, then run-as-spot from there. On reflection that may cause issues with ...
