Droppie [infosec] 🐨♀:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird:🦘:vegan:<p>Recently "refreshed" an old spinning-rust tower pc of winXP/7 vintage, with a purge then installation of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> :fedora: :kde: :plasma: . This pooter has no <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BlueTooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueTooth</span></a> nor <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WiFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WiFi</span></a> inside, & i didn't feel motivated enough to investigate specs of card/s i'd need to buy & install, so i chickened out & just bought a cheap USB WiFi dongle. After the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KFedora40" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KFedora40</span></a> install & tweaking, i wanted to bung both <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Floorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Floorp</span></a> :floorp: & <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ZenBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ZenBrowser</span></a> browsers on it. </p><p>This project is only limping along.</p><ul><li>the USB dongle, supposedly good for 150 Mbps [which is >>> my available <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NBN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBN</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fraudband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fraudband</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FttN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FttN</span></a> 37 Mbps on a good day], is giving me less than 1 Mbps. Have not yet tested to ascertain if it's the dongle's fault, or instead a WiFi blackspot in my house where i've set this tower. <em>Sigh</em>.</li><li>neither Floorp nor ZenBrowser will launch, regardless of me placing the extracted tarball files with the executable in <code>/opt/</code>, or in my Downloads directory, or in my user's <code>~/bin</code>, each of which are in my $PATH. I know it's not bad files, coz they work fine when tested in VMs in my main pooter. I also know it's not <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SELinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SELinux</span></a> [which i hate with a passion] 's fault, coz i tested with it fully disabled too, but still no joy. <em>Grrrr</em>. </li></ul><p><em>Sassen frassen rassen</em>.</p>
