Hi Michele,
I've actually reinstalled everything on the main desktop, but using the text-based
installer this time, so I will have a look at those TDE settings after.
When I used the Debian LXQt image to originally install, I used the graphical installer
and it appeared to have incorrectly set up the network, as an IPv6 testing web site mirror
reported Firefox had an IPv6 address but was avoiding using it. I also had to disable IPv6
in the Thunderbird config file as it would not connect to my home Internet service
provider's IMAP and SMTP servers. In addition, the graphical installer did not ask for
the Internet domain nor a root password, which the text-based installer does. I found
instructions to add the root password, when I discovered I couldn't update the system!
I noticed the problem when I looked at resolv.conf and it did not contain 'domain'
and 'search' entries, only containing ::1 and 127.0.0.1 as nameservers and
included a reference that it was created by 'Connection Manager'. 😕
On my other desktop, I used the text-based version of the installer and that appears to
correctly set up the network.
Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.
Although I have beta-tested software on Linux in
the past, it was only
specific applications, not an actual distribution. :)
I checked the Firefox preferences and even though it has so far, not
prompted me to select it as the default browser, the preferences are
showing Firefox as the default.
Hi Edwards,
have a look at Trinity Control Center -> TDE Components -> Default
applications -> Web browser and set whatever is your preference there,
regardless of what Firefox tells you.
Cheers
Michele
