15.0.0.8.7 Review

Development
1

Stable. no major showstoppers. Some nitcpicks:

  • I2P and Privoxy still need manual installation. I2P First startup wizard appears. Will have to disable it in conf.

  • Trying to access display setting causes its window to crash and never open.

  • Have you deprecated TBB first start security slider popup? It no longer appears. It’s for the better since it was always broken

  • Let’s switch the forum link from the onion to clearnet

noticed that as well.

We need to fix forum onion link anyway , some contributors wont even open the forum using TLS connection. So better fixing the forum onion link rather than changing it to clearnet.

XFCE start menu → Settings → Display? Works for me. Maybe only broken in Whonix KVM? In that case, please start from command line:

xfce4-display-settings

Hopefully that will show some error output. Also please try using xrandr directly.

xrandr

And… Not sure the exact command in KVM.

xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1024x768

Maybe How to use xrandr helps.

Done.

My bad. It works now. I was trying to use the display option that comes from a menu search result.

Reporting in for the VirtualBox version, 6.0.16, Debian Buster host,
no problems noted, everything works, xfce menu display settings are working for me, no notice for security slider, but I am fine with that; I have the tor shield icon filled in anyway (and also about:config javascript.enabled, false and browser.urlbar.filter.javascript, false)

Rebooting the VM with its GUI console open and maximized triggers auto resize.
