I'm only a layman user but have been playing around
with Easy and noted the following which no doubt
will be familiar to those more adept than me.
If running, close the out-of- container browser probably
having had changes made such as added bookmarks etc.
Click on File, click once on the green arrow, click on containers,
click on seamonkey, click on container.
There should be an empty box having on the top blue bar:
/mnt/sdb2/containers/seamonkey/container
Leave this empty box in view, move position for convenience.
Mouse to Menu.
Mouse to Internet, position mouse to padlocked icon
Seamonkey web browser, in container.
A left click will return the modified browser.
Now close the modified browser.
Then right click once and after a short pause a new default
browser should appear showing the Easy jumping off stage page.
After a short pause, the empty box will suddenly fill up with 16 directory icons. This is obviously a volatile operational change
to place the new default state browser into "in-container" mode.
I made changes to this new default browser - added a few bookmarks then closed it down.
The filled up box became empty again.
I again right-click-launched the padlocked icon and was pleased
to see I had created a protected browser environment.
The above will only happen as long as the out-of-container
browser is not left running in the background.
In that state the in-container browser adopts the same
web page display as the former.
A bit confusing, but interesting switchable IN/OUT
Protected/Non protected states.
The trick is realizing which state you are actually in - - or out!
Best regards.
Hi Rodney,
Hey, can I ask a question: I asked this some pages ago, but no one answered. Exactly what is signifying to the user that they are running in "Container" mode? Here is a pic of Easy 0.6 fully installed to a USB3.0 64gb stick, and both (from the Menu) rxvt launched and Seamonkey launched, with their respective "Container Menu" icons that Barry set automatically? What are you seeing??
I see nothing, did see nothing, and have never seen anything that signifies when you are in "Container" mode. Yet you wrote what I highlighted above? What am I missing?? Are you psychic or something and just know , because as far as can tell the only way a user knows if they're in "Container" mode is IF they launched that application from its previously setup Container & thus Container menu entry. Thanks for any explanation.
P.S. You know how I know I am in "Container" mode? Because Seamonkey starts screwing up left and right when you are logged into sites, like murga here, and it starts displaying pages erratically, or won't display fresh pages, cookies disappear, and such. I tried to bring this to Barry's attention, but it was ignored. I have had 5 different user friends all report the same thing; they got so fed up with it they deleted it and never wanted to see EasyLinux again I too became fed up with it, because either Seamonkey is failing and needs replaced, or something needs attended to because it fails spectacularly and often running in Container mode when trying to operate on logged in sites, posting stuff, uploading & downloading things, going back and forth between other sites with tabs open, normal use that all soon just overwhelms Seamonkey & it becomes non-functional. All 6 of us cannot be seeing the same thing and it being said "nothing is wrong with Seamonkey and/or Container mode".
