Engrampa (Archive tool) Tiny font issue

https://i.postimg.cc/htHH1KZ7/engrampa-tiny.png As you can see, the most important info ( " Extraction completed successfully " ) is put into the most tiny font .

1 Not a bug report per se. I cannot find the link to the mirrors in the port main page.

The virtues of an immutable OS -- like Porteus

Joejac, I tried that approach with a female acquaintance who is very low on income and struggling financially. She insisted any kind of Linux would be too complicated for her and she would not get it. In the end she paid 200€ to have newer SM-windoze installed that looked very different from the one...

Redshift or other screen temp

But I have other things to concern about more pressing, so I might be able to do the fine tuning much later today, but most likely it will take me a few days. LOL, a few days turned into a few months. The issue is, why is there no uniform way addressing colour temperature, so that one setting e.g. ...

[HOWTO] make a xzm module driver for NVIDIA video card

I try it out. The issue is: some nvidia drivers need patches. For now I was to lazy to work my way through the wasteland that are such high level patches, therefore I still use the old 010-nvidia-340.108-k.5.4.30-porteus-v5.0-x86_64_rava.xzm The NV driver version is 340.108 and the last kernel that ...

Fix: XFCe (up to 4.10 at least): tumblerd using 100% CPU

Hi sos, good to know that it is not an Porteus issue. For now I added nemo to my system and made sure almost all instances when the GUI file browser is wanted, nemo takes over. The only program that i was unable to convince in using nemo instead of thunar is palemoon. :( But in palemoon's case, luck...
