MX-21 KDE/plasma RC1 feedback

[dolphin_oracle]

I installed Opera from the MX repository, and it won't start; I uninstalled and reinstalled from the repository, and it won't start either. I downloaded the .deb file from the official Opera website, installed it, and it doesn't start either, I downloaded Opera_Developer.deb and installed it, and it does start. What is the reason? Firefox and Vivaldi work without problem.

can you start from the terminal and see if any output?

Opera is third party and not open source so there isn't much we can do about their deb but lets see if there is something else.

From the terminal it does not start either.

no messages or anything?

the print key is not working (for taking screenshots), tried different keyboard settings. The key is not even recognized. On MX19.4 all is fine.

That works for me, it starts ksnip when I press Print. Might be a keyboard layout issue maybe? Do you have a special layout that needs to be set?

I had the same issue. In Settings > Custom Shortcuts, the Print key is pointing to kde-spectacle which is not installed by default. Working fine after installation.

fresh install or resued home folder?

I preserved my /home partition.

BTW, you could install kde-spectacles... I actually like it better than ksnip but I decided to replace it because it was crashy for me.

Another situation that I have and did not happen to me with MX beta 2 is that the screen after some time of inactivity, does not turn off, I have the same configuration, I did not change it for the RC.

I installed Opera from the MX repository, and it won't start

A fix is identified; an updated of MXPI->PopApps opera installer will be available asap
+++EDIT+++

.. and Vivaldi work without problem.

As you have installed vivaldi:
A workaround fix to make opera work again:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /opt/vivaldi/lib/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so

[junoluna]

I went ahead and installed the RC onto 2 laptops yesterday and both are working beautifully for my needs

installed with ventoy usb by the time the kettle had boiled

turn off all dimming/suspending etc inactivity things and lid closing is set to do nothing

i always install zoom, warpinator, hypnotix, vivaldi, apt-notifier and qbittorrent and cozy for starters .... they all work perfectly ....

for what it is worth... these are my system infos ....
