Xenialpup64 (like Slacko64) did not detect my b43 wireless, so I did change_kernels to the tahr64 one and now it works.

hello 666philb

Thanks for this. Excellent timing, with the packagers on Launchpad starting to delete their Trusty builds.

I installed xenialpup64 this morning and its working very well.

I've installed, from Launchpad:
mpv 18
SMplayer 16.6
vaapi 1.7.1
Gnome-mpv
DVB-tools

No problems, they all seem to be working normally.

I copied over the firmware for my DVB-T2 tuner and checked that DVBV5-scan would scan the Crystal Palace multiplexes, and that worked OK.

Tomorrow I will install TVheadend and check that out.

I'm only stuck on one thing: How to change the text under the desktop icons from black to white. I need a darker background so that I can find the mouse pointer, but I haven't discovered where the text colour is configured.

Thanks again.

bug report #1: isomaster has no icons

[howling_hound]

G'day LateAdopter and et al.,

Here is a solution to consider. It requires modifying the options in ROX-Filer. Position the mouse pointer over one of the desktop icons, use a right mouse click to open the alternate menu, then: ROX-Filer > options > then select Pinboard. Under 'Appearance' there is the Foreground. Use a single click on the adjacent color box, this will open the Color Selection window, here you can input your desired color change. Typically I simply make a direct entry in the Color Name box to #FFFFFF which maps to white for more background contrast.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

I did a manual frugal install to a usb-3.0 SSD, pc is an Acer desktop.

VIDEO REPORT: xenialpup64, version 7.0.7

Chip description:

Loaded modules: dbe dri2 extmod glx kbd mouse present

Actual rendering on monitor:

I tried installing an Audacious 3.7.2 pet that I made in tahr64-6.0.5
and it worked, needed to install a gnome-icon-theme with PPM to get all
the icons it needs.
Trying to install certain applications with PPM (kpat) break it requiring save
file deletion and a fresh start.

[666philb]

how do you mean? .... possibly the Ubuntu repos just need reselecting in the settings
