Barry Kauler ☛ Bluepup fixed in Easy Excalibur
That was one of the reported bugs, so Easy version 6.101 has Blueman bluetooth GUI.
Wasn't satisfied leaving Bluepup broken, as it has worked reliably for years. Suddenly now in Easy Excalibur, the VTE terminal embedded in gtkdialog no longer displays anything.
As well as various things tweaked and fixed not mentioned in blog posts.
By "next generation", I mean built with the new "woofQ2", which is maybe shaping up to be the next-generation, only "maybe". Easy Scarthgap is built with woofQ, and that isn't going to change, as woofQ2 is specifically tied to using APT (Debian's package manager), and hence to building from packages of a Linux distribution that uses .deb packages. Though, should mention, there is "apt-rpm".
