-- sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<name of file>
reveal the (wifi) Pw to users.
No user should be able to read this file (-rw------- 1 root root)
Not even the user who created it?

I use sudo in a couple of scripts I run regularly, it makes running the scripts from the DE more convenient and saves me a couple of seconds. Like activating a module in my optional folder to play a game. :oops:

XFCE
Graphic problem in Image viewer (gpicview)
Window is max, adjust image to window size > that seems to work, but
the picture disappears when I choose "Original Size" and try to move the picture.
Either with the scroll bar or with the left mouse button in the picture
or when I move the mouse pointer over the toolbar.
A right click in the empty window opens the context menu and the picture is displayed,
but as soon as I move the mouse it is gone again.
Compositor on or off make no difference.-- Yes, also in AF
5.0 rc1 has no problems.

Thunar context menu option uloop does not work.

Btw
mpv performs poorly.
I can watch a 360p video in its original size,but as soon as I resize
the window (or max), the video no longer runs smoothly.
CPU usage is low.
No such problems with ffplay.

@Ed
A user may switch the connection on/off, nothing more.
Connection parameters must be set up / configured by root.
File restrictions must be observed. (-rw ------- 1 root root)
Be root or do not have permission to work with system parameters.

press "i" when playing: is there hwdec info? eg. ...blah...(hwdec: nvdec-copy)
this might be one of those situations where using --hwdec=auto doesn't work so well (see /usr/local/bin/mpv_hwdec : we're using this to wrap mpv)

Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.0rc2-x86_64.iso

On boot, in any mode, there is a directory on / named .cache. It's empty and is never populated. I've searched through all the base modules, and it appears to be coming from 002-xorg.xzm, If only the 001-core.xzm is loaded, it's not there. It's also created at boot time as shown by date and owned by root. I can find nothing in the 002-xorg.xzm that calls for the creation.

It happened with rc1 as well on other machines, so not a new thing.

No, but a lot of dropped, delayed frames.
hwdec=no > no difference

May be a caching issue.
Cache is 1 sec if video is stored on another partition but if in the Download folder mpv
tries to cache the whole? video. ( cache = 16 MiB 180sec)

btw - Celluloid crashed the system 3 times (till now) - good to know REISUB

ouch... maybe it's the --video-sync=display-resample option.. (but from what i've encountered that was a combination of compositing, and celluloid CSD)
any difference running mpv directly with no options? (or maybe just --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui)
and what sort of video hardware are we talking?

@donald, this gpicview issue will be fixed in the next release. Thanks!

Regarding 'Thunar context menu option uloop does not work', I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Can you provide the step by step, please?

Regarding bad video performance, I'm sorry to hear that '--video-sync=display-resample' is giving you bad performance. Does it happen in all videos? Well, at least now you know that to do: just remove this parameter from /usr/local/bin/mpv_hwdec :)

@donald, I'm not sure what you mean. When I mount a ISO file from Thunar context menu, it gets mounted in /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/whatever, and after I eject the unit from Thunar left panel, /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/whatever disappears. :unknown:

hmm. yep.. seems nouveau has a problem with display-resample..
also, fwiu, nouveau doesn't do hwdecode(at least not without hacking in part of the proprietry nvidia lib) ..
i've always been a bit sceptical of trying to provide "blanket" parameters with mpv ...
but, i think it might be possible to cover this in the scripts ie. detect nouveau and not do hwdec or display-resample..

btw, i disabled the link in your post because it's not available for all to see.. ;)

The Porteus Save File Manager doesn't allow a Location to be specified, either by manually entering the Location or searching for a location, when Creating a New savefile. It works in RC1.

The Create New Save Container window has been redesigned.
