Another trouble with TAS is you cannot really do a precise area selection as there are no indication lines.

What you get in Flameshot is the ability to resize selection, which makes it very useful in my opinion.

That's why I like GIMP for this job. Don't worry about selection, just grab the ...

Easiest way to take and edit a screenshot is to do it directly from GIMP. "File, create, screenshot", set your delay, it opens in GIMP, edit and done.

I've occasionally had a similar experience, in my case it depends on what computer I am trying to boot the USB drive on. Most often if I encounter this behaviour it is on a desktop and the USB stick works on a laptop. And yes, there is a difference between the early versions and the recent ones ...

For the container, I think you should copy /usr/lib/firefox in /mnt/wkg/container/www/.session/usr/lib

EDIT: clarification
The directory firefox in /usr/lib must be copied inside the directory /mnt/wkg/container/www/.session/usr/lib

I tried changing the container on my test USB and it ...

CF-DKS

For the first question, a thing to test:
In EasyDunfell, when firefox is closed, save /usr/lib/firefox ( by example with the command cp -R /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/firefox-sav e) then replace the directory /usr/lib/firefox by the directory /usr/lib/firefox from Scarthgap.

I'm not comfortable ...

I've been using EasyDunfell 3.4.3 as my "daily driver" since 2022 and I love it. The Firefox release that was included had updates blocked and I have not found a way around this except to download an additional Firefox latest version. Is there a way to change the default built in web browser to a ...

CF-DKS

I did the update this morning to 6.5.4 and encountered some glitches with both my browser (Firefox) and my mail program (Thunderbird). The browser became unresponsive to changing tabs, and the mail program was unresponsive when I tried to write in the subject line of a new message. I also had to ...

Thanks @CF-DKS :

Let me recomend u TAS (included by default in EasyOS) MENU- GRAPHICS

It will satisfy all your needs.

It is fantastic if u associate this program with a key-combination and with it you can record full screen, active window, region... you can save it in different formats, give ...

I like GIMP for screenshots. It offers you your choice of what to capture and the timing you want.

No problem for me

Daedalus and ScarthGap 6.5.5.1

Chromium works as always.

Did you click the online link?

CF-DKS

I have the same problem, just checked, and it is with both containerized browser and containerized daedalus. And I am using version 6.5

CF-DKS

"fast startup" on Windows can cause this problem. I have run into that before, so worth checking and turning off.

CF-DKS

There is a positive outcome, we do get some people who are genuinely looking for a Linux distro to use as their daily OS, and some of them will like EasyOS and stay with it. I receive emails from people who have discovered Easy, maybe through Distrowatch, and they are using it -- that might be ...

Updated my Scarthgap 6.5 to 6.5.1. On running I ran the Daedalus 6.5.sfs in a container which I had downloaded after updating to Scarthgap 6.5. I had unistalled the Daedalus 6.4.x I had previously installed prior to Scarthgap 6.5. When checking the container, the flip to show the icon in the tray ...

CF-DKS

I have updated one USB drive and one hard drive to Scarthgap 6.4.5. Curiously, in both cases I got a "not found" on first attempt to download Daedalus with SFS get. Second attempt, no problem, downloaded and installed, but also in both cases the icon did not appear in the containers list until I ...

Daedalus and Scarthgap have a password manager in the tray, builtin.

I'm planning to remove that, replace with a clipboard manager.

Does anyone have any objection to that?

Fine with me.

CF-DKS

Good, I want feedback, as currently giving Easy Containers some TLC.

I may be the only one reporting this, as I prefer the icons in the tray, but it seems that whatever choice you make in Scarthgap, it must be the same in Daedalus. Also, I can't add icons to the tray in Daedalus, only to the ...

CF-DKS

Good morning,
Until now, I was running bookworm in a container for kde applications. I tried daedalus. It works well but it is not possible to add icons to the desktop or change the wallpaper. When you close easyos, everything disappears when you launch it again. I deleted PuppyPinBACK but ...

The only conclusion is that Barry is irreplaceable. Maybe the only solution is for him to train an AI apprentice to follow in his footsteps? Hopefully Barry will be with us for a long time to come. I appreciate his wonderful EasyOs every day!

CF-DKS

None of the ones on any of the recent Easy OS releases work for me.
I keep getting an error stating file is to large.

I don't know if it has something to do with my monitor display resolution 1152x864 or not.
I've tried resizing everything and still the same error.
I give up ain't got the ...

CF-DKS

Thanks in advance and my apologies for needing it explained in simpler terms.

I'm not very technical either and often find a lot of what is discussed on the forum goes right over my head. Simpler terms would be most welcome! I also find there is quite often an assumption that anyone on here is ...

CF-DKS

I get that message also.
It has never caused a problem on any of my desktops.

Me too. I tend to ignore things I don't understand, especially messages that pass by quickly when booting or shutting down, and so far I've never had a problem. I do find I get different results with different hardware ...

CF-DKS

Updated this morning, no problems. Looking forward to discovering all the new things!

CF-DKS

I'm just a web surfer and stream Youtube videos so both of these distros work fine on my old desktop computer.

I figure Easy OS Daedalus being a RC to have some issues as most usually do and I figure that the issues will be ironed out eventually and it will work just as it should.

At this point ...

CF-DKS

Did the update on one hard drive and one USB stick, went smoothly as usual. Haven't had much time to experiment but my usual programs are working well. Thanks, Barry!

CF-DKS

Loving the clean desktop, icons in the tray, including the ones I added, thanks Barry!

CF-DKS

Sorry, I don't know how to add something to a USB boot stick. I thought a boot stick was only a boot stick. I have loaded other versions of puppy and various other linux OS but It seems like my skill set is inadequate for this version.

It is a bit comical that I can not figure out how to load ...

CF-DKS

This is probably a silly question but does the OS have to be loaded on the hard drive to do this? The statement to reboot would suggest that to me.

maxtouch.cfg' looks to be a config file for a touch screen that I do not have.

The other looks to be a sound driver and the system doesn't have ...

CF-DKS

Did the update to 6.2 on both a desktop hard drive and a USB drive. Went smoothly with no issues. Thanks, Barry!
