I wholeheartedly agree that debugging correspondence needs to be in the appropriate arena. Also, unless you're able to do what's required of debugging (being able to fix things yourself, or making useful reports, and following technical instructions), people should really steer clear of test packages of applications, maybe even external apps, too. Sure, if you're using *general* release packages, and you want to discuss problems on *this* list for guidance, that's the right thing to do. If you want to get into debugging, my suggestion would be *first* get used to the general releases, that work. Then, when you're familiar with how things are supposed to work, you've got background for delving deeper. Despite my decades of using computers, I don't want to get into nitty gritty debugging. It's too time-consuming and irritating, and some programmers are too weird to even want to deal with. I just want to *use* the computer. Not endlessly fiddle with it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
