Schultz I do use the PM installer however I have now added Steve's PPA and with the result that Pale Moon now appears in Preferred Apps!

Nice one - thanks

Interesting that the system has to be 'cheated' that seems a little odd to me.

However I will think on it and maybe try it too but not keen on having Firefox (or other) sitting on the system.

Thanks - appreciated.

Hello apt show palemoon N: Unable to locate package palemoon N: Unable to locate package palemoon E: No packages found That is fair enough I think as it is not a package as such it is a .tar locate palemoon.desktop /home/geopol/.local/share/applications/palemoon.desktop /usr/share/applications/palem...

Hello, May I ask if setting palemoon as default should follow as: gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/http palemoon.desktop as it fails with: Failed to load info for handler 'palemoon.desktop' And Pale Moon is not listed under Preferred Applications. I have tried: sudo update-alternatives --config x-ww...

Termy , you make a very good and obvious point which I had not seen. :roll: I have had a rethink lately and got rid of some PPA's and a couple of 'deb' installs going back in all cases to the current versions supported on LM Mate. There are a couple of notable exceptions but that is down to me. No ...

Vasilis_K said: Libreoffice is since a few months officially using Flathub for distributing. So, installing it through it gives you always the latest version immediately after being released. No extra ppa's and stuff. Does Flathub update automatically like a PPA? I cannot see that it does and I not...

austin.Texas Ho - no political issues but unauthorised transactions which according to my contacts with the two different banks involved was originated in that service. I cannot say that their assertions are true of course but I have taken the option of not using that particular service provider. A...

Yo kc!di I had seen the post by xenopeek but I wuz sort of hoping that there had been enough (pleasant) pressure to get another option for payment. I could buy stuff Pierre but I am a non-material type so that is not really a viable option long-term. Bye for now. Ooops missed a couple of posts while...

Hi, I've seen the posts regarding this matter and wonder if the 'guys' have found an alternative yet to Paypal? I no longer use Paypal (Account or payment service) due to some issues. Likewise I no longer use Ebay because of their Paypal 'partnership'. Likewise (getting boring I know) I will not use...

Hi, I tried the Flatpak download path and it failed. The files were there but no way to activate the actual application. The Menu entries were strings of code relating to the download! Not being at all code savvy I looked around and eventually just re-installed via Synaptic. I have also noticed that...

xenopeek Thanks for the tip re the latest LibreOffice..

I found that 'sudo' was required elsewise the system fails to create a temp. directory following on from the 'Y' to the 'org.gnome.Platform' question.

Not being daft I trust

I see what you mean as having looked at the link you provided I can state that what I have access to is the 'old' 'login screen' functions.

Not the new ones shown in the link.

Maybe this particular bit has not been upgraded yet? Gone wrong?

Anybody else found this?

Well that leaves me out of it really although you could check to see if 'mdmsetup' exists in usr/sbin.

If it isn't there I assume it will need to be re-generated which is well over my head.

You better provide some information about your system otherwise anyone wishing to help is a bit lost I would suspect.

Running maybe a good start(?).

Urm isn't 'Login Window' in the Control Panel?

It is in mine - top right corner.

Hi again M_Mynaardt ,, I take the point about MS stuff. I like LO a great deal and used to wack out some very good (in my opinion) newsletters etc. however it does have problems with some MS formats as you say. I tend ask people to send stuff as PDF as it seems to be a freely available option for ju...

Out of interest (passing) why do you have FreeOffice and Abiword and LibreOffice? And I've had a look at FreeOffice quite neat but a year 'out-of-date' and I found that I could not get a decent font on the toolbars etc. Have you cracked that? And No issues at ll here with icons changing but I noted ...

I originally used the defualt VB from the standard repos but as it was an old version I upgraded to the then latest via PPA costamagnagianfranco-virtualbox-ppa (launchpad.net) which has been in place ever since. I have now removed that and downgraded my 'foreign' packages to the 'old' 5.04. It is al...

administrollaattori that worked like a charm.

Thanks very much.

Thanks pbear.

Yes numerous re-boots since this started and I have amended the title. Also added another image which shows the package situation with regard to VB.
