Re: Bug of geany on easyos 5.7

what causes the difference in behavior between mouse select/middle click paste and using ctrl-c ctrl-v for copy and paste? Some apps dont seem to respect mouse select/middle click paste the same as others. You probably already know this, but the selection and clipboard are two different things. The...

Re: Bug of geany on easyos 5.7

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention; EasyOS does have a clipboard manager builtin.

It is Parcellite and you will find it in the menu, in the "Desktop" category.

It is disabled by default, so as not to conflict with the password manager, but you can enable it.

Re: Bug of geany on easyos 5.7

Why easyos hasn't a clipboard manager by default? I don't know this because other linux hasn't the problem. For example, fatdog is normal for me. The problem is that EasyOS has a password manager by default, and installing a clipboard manager compromises the security of the password manager. The pa...

Re: Bug of chromium on easyos 5.7

But if you download a very big file like a film, /files/download is too small for it. That is too safe. You must be running on a computer with a very small amount of RAM. EasyOS defaults to run in RAM, and uses ZRAM, so the free space for storage is quite large. My Lenovo desktop has 32GB RAM and i...

it is not a bug, it is a security feature. Chromium is running as user "chromium" and downloads can only write to /home/chromium or under /files Most apps that run as their own user also have a special folder that it can write to, but no other app can even see into. For example, if install...

Re: Diffuse - compare/merge text files

Thanks for that info about Diffuse! EasyOS currently has 'xfdiff', which is a gtk2 C program. It works OK, except has a limit on line length and lines longer than that cause trouble. Don't recall what that limit is, but hit it several times over the years. So I might move over to Diffuse. Just for t...

Hey Barry, what do you think about merging devx with the whole puppy, so it is included by default in the distro ? ok puppy will be bigger, but it is easier to manage that way.

Re: Kirkstone64 Container Question

Right now I can't get my head around what is happening here.

/usr/bin/aqemu.install is an installation script for aqemu.
Once installed, there will be the real /usr/bin/aqemu

That /usr/bin/aqemu would have to be converted to run in a container.

Re: EasyVoid Package Updates?

easyVoid installs from the Void repos, so we are dependent on them keeping packages up to date.
