I had built the openoffice sfs some months ago for the italian localization. I used a modded version of the old alien2puppy script from @01micko. Here it is:

New kernels (s15pup64) break truecrypt7.1a

Truecrypt 7.1a fails the first mounting volumes using s15pup64 (a build of June) with kernel 5.15.117. I was compelled to revert to older kernels. At ibiblio huge_kernels are no more updated. The published kernels are not archived for later use.

Re: Google-Chrome 'portable' 64-bit browser - (with updater!)

I have not problems to use my upside down webcam of the asus laptop in any other app: only chrome-chromium-electron are affected by the bug. I use scripts to launch apps prepending:

Code: Select all

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

That resolves the problem of the upside down webcam.
