pClock, in the Personal menu category, isn't working in the daedalus container.

When chromium runs, a call to chromium kills the executable chromium (The Appname for chromium is chromium, the excutable is chromium too)

It's different with ungoogled chromium because the Appname is ungoogled and the executable is chrome
With Firefox, the Appname is firefox and the ...

Maybe related to the version
chromium is version 128.0.6613.84-1
ungoogled chromium is version 130.0.6723.69

I tested the opening of chromium with terminals. When the 2nd chromium opens, the first closes.

ModemManager is called by NetworkManager (see /var/log/messages). It tries to launch a dbus daemon via systemd but systemd is not used in EasyOS hence the error message.


Don't forget, these are Devuan packages, without systemd. Any Debian package that requires systemd is replaced by Devuan's ...

Hello everybody:

This question is about updates


Is there any way to restore a particular version? (When using update it is only possible to restore to the last version, that is 6.4)

Hello everybody:

First of all, excuse me for my "incorrect" explanation when I said "it is not at pkgGET".

I should said "The PPM version is not functional for me at EasyOs_daedalus·".

OK, problem solved in the following way.

2) Open it with XArchive using ROX Filer or any other file manager.

In the previous version of udev-fstab-update, the line 89

This could cause a bug if a removable drive is plugged at startup and then ...

Actually the installed version is firefox-esr , not the lastest version. In fact it is installed in the easy.sfs.

Hello @Caramel,

if you change the last line (10) of '/root/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS' and add '/dists/' 4 times in total so the line will look like this one:
