[solved] Update problem / mirrors.evowise

[Member ventus]

Hi

I have a problem with update again. The last time I was able to solve it with the first method from here:

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/antix-19-4-available/page/3/#post-60755

But this time it doesn’t work. Here is the output from the terminal:

antix@antix:~

Do I have to choose a different repository? How do I do that?

And one other thing. There has been a problem with Opera and Videos for a while now. Apparently it is about HTML5 and libffmpeg.so. It worked until a few days ago. Then there were websites that crashed. I then ran some instructions from the Internet to copy this libffmpeg.so into the Opera directory. It had the effect that the websites no longer crashed, but the videos gave an error saying they couldn’t be played. Ok, if anyone has a solution, I’ll be happy. And otherwise it works with Chromium, a little slower.

Use repo-manager to change to a different repo.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Thanks, it worked fine. And Opera will surely find a solution, they have to.

No movement from opera’s side, but people have started to move.

The solution I tried (second link in that reply https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine)

I don’t know if it will help.

I have never been a fan of Opera, and them giving their support for Ubuntu based distributions over Debian draws me farther away from them..

Thanks for the tips! It didn’t work straight away. But in the forum I saw that someone reinstalled Opera and then it worked properly again. So I uninstalled Opera and also deleted the two folders in home and usr. Then downloaded the package from the website and tried to install with GDebi. It reports that 50 packages need to be uninstalled, for example blueman and bleutooth. Apparently there is a conflict? Maybe not entirely unintentionally. After all, Opera is no longer in the antiX Package Installer. It’s a shame, because Opera runs significantly faster with less RAM than other browsers. I also had a second installation of antiX on a logical partition. I hadn’t used this installation to work. And Opera is running fine there, with videos. Is there an “action” against Opera because it does not have the “free license”?
