Hi, I've been using Brave for some months now with no issues. Recently, I started having problems accessing a few websites that gave a SIGSEGV error. No problem on Firefox.

Eric, I'm thinking it could be some issue as a new member to the forum or linux doesn't like the way the jpegs were addressed. I was logged in but have not yet seen an official welcome email. I would have go the library to test Windows, but that is not option because of the virus lock down. Thanks f...

OK! It was the the media used or the way I recorded it. I tried a Live BDS that I burned with same problem. A Live Sabyon a friend gave me worked. So, it is the DVD player being too choosy on the laptop. They all worked on my desktop. Thanks for the reply.

Well could be, but the Win XP and the mint on the laptop doesn't see the Live DVD either.

I can not boot live Dvd on Compaq laptop. I can boot live CDs Mint or suse. I can play movies with DVDs. I have several good Mint KDE Dvds that I burned. I installed it on my desktop. It works great. The best distro yet. I would like to replace the Mint gnome with kde on my laptop, but it goes strai...
