Is there any point to the OctoXBPS icon on the Void desktop? I find some videos on how to set it up, but Youtube doesn't quite play.

OctoXBPS is the graphical package manager for Void. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the X5000. It only works on the X1000.

With which browser have you tested YouTube?

OctoXBPS is surely convenient, but we can very well do without it. The online commands used for package management are clearly explained on the Void site (https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/index.html). It's just a matter of habit. We get used to it quickly.

I had tried Eolie only. Today I tried Interweb with the same initial result, but it turned out it was because I was clicking on the link my search engine gave me. I went to Youtube and searched "octoxbps" there and it worked just fine. So I went back to Eolie and did the same. Here the video works but I get no sound.

So video problem essentially solved. I moved the icon off the Desktop, but to Home Folder instead of Trash.

To allow the user amigaone system access via the sudo command, you need to edit the file "/etc/sudoers" with "visudo". Uncomment this line: # %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL.

Lets anybody in the wheel group run anything as any user.

QEMU USB Audio works great with Void PPC in a virtual e5500 QEMU KVM-HV machine!

Made and saved some screenshots in void today but I can't find them anywhere!
