You reported the three "strange visitors": https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/J32P3DLUUN2WLBDDKWQ7E4R2N7GZL7PC/ then nearly 18 hours later you said: Now here's another puzzle. I don't know if it's related to my previous question about unwanted visitors in top, but I decided that I ought to start a new thread. I managed to get rid of those pesky unwelcome visitors, and imagined that I was on the way to having a machine that actually does what I want. All of a sudden, most of my browsers will not launch at all. I even went on a spree, and downloaded lots of different browsers, just to try them out (and to see if I could get anything to connect to the Internet). https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/L2YZ32RATDL4EOZ7AJIECMHRUELQKFH3/ > At this point, I find that I have spent a big pile of money on nothing, and > cannot move forward.

I know that you are frustrated, and I feel for you. I am confident that the computer is fine for doing work, or at least it will be once you stop "fixing" it and actually do fix it. I am not a betting man, but if I were, I would bet dollars to donuts that the problems you are having have nothing to do with the hardware, or that Devuan is broken. -- Steve ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
