--- Comment #11 from tonyarc...@mistral.co.uk --- just to tell you i finally gave up on the "new improved" kaffeine and gone back to using version 1.2.2 it does everything kaffeine is supposed to do so what was the point of "improving it" with an inferior version? is there any way you can advise the guys who set up the repository of this fact? so they don't force a shitty upgrade on people? cheers Tony Archer On 21/01/2019 00:45, Mauro Carvalho Chehab wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403361 > > --- Comment #10 from Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+sams...@kernel.org> --- > (In reply to tonyarcher from comment #9) >> the whole ethos of Linux is that you dont EVER put a version out into a >> distro that hasnt been tested and found to work correctly ...EVER. > Nobody is telling otherwise.
