I presume that's the git master.? I did find that I had forgotten to remove the version that Fedora installed. After removing through the pkg mgr GUI and then redoing the make -j install, I rebooted, and it seems to be ok. It did act a little strange in that it seemed to be a little slow starting, and initially failed the sound test, then all of a sudden started working. On the removal, I noticed that it removed several packages that pertained to alsa backend for pulse, would that be a problem? TIA Scott
