Linspire Trouble
I had some issues with Linspire and Java so I looked around and decided to give PC-BSD another try - I had tried this before but had some sound problems last time. This time all is well - and I like the PBI’s for software installation - very easy although the selection is a bit limited - the Good News is they had everything I needed to run in PBI format. My tests worked - shoutcast streams play although when just launching one it opened Kaffeine Player and totally crashed Firefox - just now I’m not kidding - the music is playing fine and the good thing is - somehow it kept what I just typed so I did not have to type it all over again.
YouTube works in Firefox with sound and Runescape works with sound - so all is well. I did have to download Java via a pbi file but it was very easy - when I was going to try to get java working in my Linux Distros it was going to be a maual process whereby I would have to login to a shell and create symbolic links - I had attempted this before and totally put Firefox out of commission so I did not want to travel that road again. Well the music is still playing and my browser is still up so I guess I’m good now.
