On Monday I did some work on the internet with the vivaldi browser and 4 full screen tabs opened up. After about an hour later I decided to grab me a cup of coffee. When I returned with it the screen had left the xserver - reason unknown.

With Vivaldi I also have another problem - it stopped ...

Does your old PC supports PCI Express 3.0?
How about the cards max. power consumption of 60W?

Ok, so it's not only when switching tabs and maximised, but also when browser in different size and when changing size, when closing tabs, when scrolling and it also happens on Chromium, so probably not a Vivaldi-related issue. However it looks like it doesn't happen when I don't do anything, so it ...

szept

That's a worry!
Does that happen in Chromium?

No idea as I only use Vivaldi. I can try Chromium for a while and I'll let you know.
The weir thing is - when it's fine, it's fine all the time that session, but once it starts "blinking" monitor, it's doing it pretty much every time I switch tabs ...

szept

Just done it again.

Right before, the monitor goes black (like switching off) and back on again. Not sure if it happens on other monitors. RAM cards reconnected and slots ventilated by a natural blow ;]
Maybe I shall do the same to the graphic card. Anyway.
Not sure if it's not a coincidence, but I ...

How about updating to 6.6.2

Done. Will see if it happens again. Thx

szept

In the photo, that "Waiting for kernel video drivers to load:" has a little extra delay, "sleep 0.5", in Easy 6.6.2, which might be what is needed to fix the situation where sometimes Xorg aborts. Hopefully.

Do you mean I should fix something?

I'm running live-USB EasyOS_6.5.4

having a look at /etc how many modprobe.d.xxx directories do you count on your failing PC?

Four.

More info please. For example, do you/if you restart your PC does "X" load and the boot finish?
You wrote that this happened twice in the past month. You seem to be using your PC now.

Suggestions: Re-seat your RAM modules.
Unplug/re-attach cables in your system.

Had it twice in a month time. Cannot get back to X once this occurs. Any advices?

Why do you open a new thread - again in the wrong forum as BarryK pointed out - with the same question?
Selecting multiple files in ROX-Filer
And no, what you ask for unfortunately can't be done in ROX-Filer.

BTW: The topic has been discussed over and over again. I recommend to search before ...

I'm just resizing pictures in GIMP and I've noticed quite helpful thing lacking - comparing to Windows. When you open an image in Windows and close it - a rectangle appears around that file. This is very helpful in a situation like opening and closing one file after another, because you know which ...

szept

Wait... Do I get it right - do you mean if I have hundreds of files I have to either select each one or drag a mouse selection? No way of Windows' „Shift-method“ when you select the first file and the last one with Shift (which makes 2 clicks)?

szept

O think the most common way of selecting a pile of files is to select the first file and the last one holding Shift. When I'm trying this in EasyOS Rox-Filer, with Shift my file opens in Geany. How do I select files "from - to"?

szept

Ok, so shall I test anything? If yes, please tell me what to do: what Easy version, what Limine and how to put in onto Easy (if it's different than the "make" method described by @Caramel). I can test on all 3 computers: 2009-PC, old-Dell, and newer-Lenovo laptops

szept

this may help, should apply to easyos

Awesome! F2 for rename working via /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/menus2

Go In the limine-7.12.0-binary folder and use this exeecutable to install the code on the MBR of the pendrive.

full list can be found here: /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/menus2 as stated above.

szept

That's why I like GIMP for this job. Don't worry about selection, just grab the screen, crop out precisely what you want, tweak the colours if you wish, resize and adjust resolution, export file in whatever format you desire. Takes very little time and super convenient.

Yup, I thought you can ...

make is in the devx sfs.

You can install devx with SFSget. (Install it as a layer in the main system not in a container)

I did install SFSget as a layer in MAIN and I get same error :(
I'll reboot just to make sure it's not the lack of reboot...

or use

The "power off wallpaper" is rendered by jwm.

Thanks! I've swapped the wallpaper under default.jpg in /usr/share/backgrounds folder and it's working!

Isn't this a JWM's bug? I don't remember having this in previous Easy versions.

szept

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.

That makes TAS even more useless in my opinion.
Another trouble with TAS is you cannot really do a precise area selection as there are no ...

Download the entire binary release (via the Code button and then Download Zip). In the extracted directory, execute make.

I've already mentioned that a year or 2 ago and BarryK told me there are already 3 apps for screen shots in Easy, so there's no need to add another one, but I still think it's a shame there's no Windows' Snipping Tool equivalent in Easy. Snipping Tool is very intuitive and easy to use with a very ...

I don't remember having this on my previous Easy, but now, on newly created Scarthgap 6.5.4.2 live-pendrive, I have a default wallpaper (parking lot and train station somewhere in hot Australia?) switching on when I select to Power-off. Is that intentional? Do I change a Power-off wallpaper ...

I used to make to keyboard shortcuts which I use very often:

F2 for renaming file
Del for deletion instead of Ctrl+x

However in my brand new Scarthgap 6.5.4.2 I get this message:

Please translate it to plain English for me...
