  mutt and others suggests
Posted by: Rantanplan - 04-28-2025, 08:24 AM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (6)

Hello dear John,

I use the last version of DSL, and it is a very good distro ;-).
So, a big THANK TO YOU, JOHN !

Very great idea to offer us the mutt e-mail client.
I have tested it and, it'ld seem that libsasl2-modules (libsasl2-modules - Cyrus SASL - pluggable authentication modules) is needed to sent a mail. This package offers the commons authenticators (TEXT, PLAIN, LOGIN,...).
In fact, before libsasl2-modules is installed, i was unable to send a message.
After libsasl2-modules's installation, the sending is OK.

Can I ask you to provide the installation of this package during the next release?

Other point: Cli-Aptix
When updating with Apt Update, APT returns the following alert:
"Checking source files ...
It appears that at least one list file is missing"

Last point: the default theme
The default theme is well suited to the default wallpaper.
But, it is too dark and it is not possible to read the Firefox menus, for example.

with all my friendships

Phil

Bonjour cher John,

Très bonne idée de nous proposer le client e-mail mutt.
Je l'ai testé et il semble que libsasl2-modules soit nécessaire pour envoyer un courrier. Ce paquet propose les authentificateurs communs (PLAIN, TEXT, LOGIN,...).
En fait, avant que libsasl2-modules ne soit installé, je n'ai pas pu envoyer de message.
Après l'installation de Libsasl2-Modules, l'envoi est OK.

Puis-je te demander de prévoir l'installation de ce paquet lors de la prochaine release ?

Autre point : CLI-APTIX
Lors de la mise à jour avec apt update, apt renvoie l'alerte suivante :
"Checking source files ...
It appears that at least one list file is missing"

Dernier point : le thème par défaut
Le thème par défaut est bien adapté au fond d'écran par défaut.
Mais, il est trop sombre et il n'est pas possible de lire les menus de Firefox, par exemple.

Avec toutes mes amitiés.

  Mouse settings won't open
Posted by: 8bitBoid - 03-15-2025, 01:34 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (5)

Hi there. Just getting started and things are going OK so far - but one issue is the mouse settings won't open. Everything else works OK.

I'm using an EeePC and the trackpad mouse is super slow on the current settings. I can plug in a mouse and an external mouse is much faster, but I'd like to use the trackpad most of the time. Is there a way to use terminal perhaps? Thanks!

  DSL vs. AntiX?
Posted by: DSL_Rich - 02-25-2025, 10:53 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (2)

Hi, ran DSL on several systems WAY back, fantastic.

Just came across this reboot via youtube Action Retro channel and thought I'd check it out since I have way too many old and older computers still around.

My question is, since this relies a lot on AntiX (yes?), what's the advantage of this vs. AntiX?   Is it mainly/only so it'll fit on a CD, vs. a DVD?

Thank you.
Rich

Hi,
I am trying to install DSL in a Dell Inspiron 2600 but during the booting process I got the message : "graphics initialization failed error setting up gfxboot"

I continued choosing live from the menu but after awhile the process never finished.
raphics initialization failed error
