If this issue still persist, then it is too complex to solve. Sorry for the annoyance.

Assuming this was a glitch in the matrix.

The cause of this issue is likely either that your PureBrowser profile is corrupted or that it contains data only readable by Firefox 68.x not 60.x which PureBrowser is no reverted to.

ah right - using the command-line option --ProfileManager provides for a more user-friendly interaction than directly renaming the profile dir. Thanks for mentioning that, @marcus, I'll keep than in mind for future guidance.

Hi @jonas.smedegaard , thanks one more time for the attention.

I don't know what happened concretely in your case. Perhaps the versions you read was simply _available_ versions instead of _installed_ ones?

Hi @jonas.smedegaard , thanks for the answer!

Those are all _newer_ releases of the addons than provided by PureOS.

Hi @jonas.smedegaard, thanks for you attention!

@ajlok If those keys on your Librem 13 are dead, please contact Purism support, you need to re-flash keyboard EC firmware, which is out of scope for this ticket.

@mladen Using a Librem13 v3 DE i just applied all points mentioned above to no avail. My german button with pipe and left, right angle brackets (<, > - copied from a webpage-sourcecode) doesn't say a word. It seems not to be doing anything.

This is fixed in PureOS 9.0 (Amber) image build 2019-09-26.
Thank you for reporting the issue!

Is this perhaps a duplicate (and revisit) of T148 and/or T711? - symptoms seem similar.

On top of that we maybe could drop the dependency of gnome-software on software-properties-gtk, that would let GNOME Software use its own repo configuration dialog.

I got it to work by pulling down the ci-repo.key, and adding this line to sources.list; deb https://ci.puri.sm/ scratch librem5

I can use add-apt-repository without issue, but I get other problems with the repo;

The workaround is to comment out the call to UbuntuDrivers python module in usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py
Line 61 to 65 starting with

I see similar behavior;

On the KDE Plasma release from 31 August when I try to run the memtest menu entry it merely says "/live/memtest not found." I'll test the latest build from today but are we including the memtest binary?

Thanks for that additional info, @mladen

A user confirmed that after deleting PureBrowser profile folder YouTube is working again.

Hi @marcus - thank for reporting this issue.

Thanks for elaborating.

We may need to add some note then that it's "community supported" or something.
I build the image and somewhat maintain the flavor, but it doesn't receive nearly as much attention as the GNOME flavor does and any issue report there as a really low priority for me.

I tested the ISO from August 31st. It worked well and looks good, tempting to switch to KDE. :-)
I'll find a way to add a button for downloading Plasma on the web site.

I think this is a good idea. I'll test the ISO since it's recently been rebuilt.

I uploaded a file rather than typing in the text directly because i am not familiar with phabricator, and the changes to purebrowser and installed extensions made it even more flakey in my hands, and after having my text twice wiped out, and rushing to catch a plane, it was easier to put a file on my computer. and upload it.
Also when you upload a file to emacs, no one knows it is uploaded as it is simply appended to the buffer, but phabricator chooses not to do that.

This has been pending for too long. We definitely need to do something about it asap. The product (excuse the mercantile formulation) needs to be polished from one end to the other. It would be more practical to have 1 installer for both flavors but that would result in confusion.

"Breeze" is the name of the default icon theme in Plasma. In the 1st screenshot we have PureBrowser and in the 2nd we have FF ESR from a different distribution featuring Plasma. @mak knows what I'm talking about (he used to have a distro called "Tanglu" that also had a Plasma flavor). Call me nitpicky but details matter.

This is getting weirder and weirder, just tried the same USB stick on a L15V4 I got in hands and it also does not detect the 4k@30Hz which makes me start to believe it is not software (i.e. PureOS) related. Need to investigate more.

PureOS has reverted to PureBrowser based on Firefox 60.x so this bug is fixed (for now...).

@emmes your attached notes seem to indicate that this has been an issue for quite a while - when did you first experience this issue?

@emmes why did you attach a text file, not post directly the text?!?

@joao.azevedo Please file a separate issue about loss of profile (because that is clearly a different issue from being told here as a debugging aid to rename a profile folder).

Obviously, title should be purebrowser bug and the line in mybrowser that reads "exec /usr/lib/purebrowser/purebrowser" should have $1 appended at the end of the line.

Similarly:

@Squid Thanks for the added details.

Duplicate of T814

I had a VM that was still on PureOS Green. Ran an upgrade, didn't lose my profile but did lose uBlock Origin. Ran a second upgrade, uBlock Origin came back but I did NOT lose my profile. Really weird.

@jonas.smedegaard i just tried the upgrade in a vm in a fresh instalation. And i lost my profile as well.

I sure hope that it was our messing directly with the configfiles (as per my instructions) that caused that - and that package downgrade does *not* cause any such surprises!

One thing to note, my profile seems to have reset because I lost my tabs and history. That is probably due to the stuff we did before but wanting to confirm whether this has that happened to anyone else after this update?

PureBrowser downgraded to 60.x, again fixing this issue.

Thanks, that's quite helpful @richard.kolla !

@jonas.smedegaard uBlock Origin is back in my PureBrowser.

PureBrowser is now downgraded to 60.x in PureOS amber.

@joao.azevedo Can I ask you to please confirm that PureBrowser as of today fixes tis issue, specifically?

Hi @tbernard - sorry I didn't ask back when this was reported which versions of PureBrowser and Ublock Origin you were using.

Thanks a ot for confirming!

This was the Purebrowser upgrade:

@jonas.smedegaard did a

...actually: @joao.azevedo please try update your system and tell me if this is still an issue on PureOS amber as of today?

Thanks for reporting this.

Which version of PureBrowser is this?

Which version of PureBrowser is this? See also T823

@jonas.smedegaard can i ask you to have a quick look in this issue description to see if this is worth investigating or if i am being silly

@Squid this issue is a clearly a duplicate of issue T814 were the cause of the problem with uBlock Origin has already been identified. And a temporary solution until the issue can be permanently resolved.

As for user notification, I suggest borrowing from how needrestart does it: Provide a purpose-specific GUI as a separate binary package, and have core package suggest either that or libnotify-bin, where the latter spews simpler notifications.

It might be documented, but since I am lousy at reading documentation here's how I'd figure it out:

@jonas.smedegaard I'm sure it was your idea :D

please describe in *words* what is the issue reported.
