Re: Old Acer Install Q4OS 6.1 Andromeda

Unfortunately, the behavior is the same as with the rc releases.  Whatever Q4OS tool I try crashes.  The only difference is I do not experience a logout/reboot when using them.  The screen blanks blanks for a second and the  tool crashes.  Synaptic works fine and CLI works fine.

What if you log into Xorg session instead of Wayland ?

I logged into a X11 session and the behavior is the same.  The OS itself works fine but the Q4OS tools are crashing.

We will continue trying to get hardware in question and reproduce, investigate and fix the issue. In anyway thanks for testing and reporting, it's really valuable for us.

On another note, I installed 6.1 TDE and everything works perfectly.   The OS and all the Q4OS tools!

This is on the same laptop.
