Re: FreeTube-portable; new release - now @ v0.23.1....

This problem is still ongoing. Reloading a window will eventually get a result, although might take quite a few goes. I recently found that there is a keyboard shortcut for this - Control R. There isn't a button for it, so it meant going back a page then loading the link again.

Re: FreeTube-portable; new release - now @ v0.23.1....

I've been getting the same error message. Sometimes it goes away, but happens more often than not. I downloaded an older version (Appimage) of 0.22, and that works without problem.

EDIT Spoke to soon. After trying a few more links, I started getting the same error again.

Re: Installing android studio on puppy linux.

Hello os62

Have you tried running bin/studio.sh instead of just studio?

EDIT
Scratch that, I don't think it makes any difference. Were you connected to the interent when you ran it? The launcher should offer to download and install the SDK.

I can't think what the problem is - could you post the actual script?
Please note that the script can be anywhere, does not need to be in the "PATH". Also the "$@" is redundant, but will do no harm. Even 'exec' can be left out, as the script knows what to do with 'defaultbrowser' or the name of the ...

If you added Chrome through gslapt, then use that to uninstall. Otherwise just delete its directory.

@Keef Do you have fractional scaling enabled? It breaks some old applications and this could be one of them.

No (not even sure I know how :) ). It had worked fine on previous releases.
