      @sdetweil Bad news…FWIW ALT-spacebar does nothing and CTL + M kills it.

          @sdetweil Quick change of subject. How do I find a list of installed packages on Pi WITH timestamp
          Something unannounced just installed itself on this Pi
          Not a fan of surprise unannounced installations out of the blue on my computers

              Regarding yesterdays change of subject question, my concern was if somehow a virus was loading itself on my Pi.

              I kind of think I know what the problem is but it seems like an install problem because 1) it is repeatable and 2) it is like this straight from the install.

              I don’t know the official name for the “bar” but it is missing.
              This is from am MM I built a couple of years ago.

              Non-existent in this most recent install. I saw it missing yesterday. That missing bar was what prompted my question.
              I’ve installed via @sdetweil script

                  ~ $ lsb_release -a
                  No LSB modules are available.
                  Distributor ID: Debian
                  Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
                  Release: 11
                  Codename: bullseye

                  ~ $ uname -a
                  Linux PiPics 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

                  My installation process amounts to formating micro-sd card, firing up Raspberry Pi’s installer, install their posted software.
                  Immediately do apt update, apt full-upgrade then head to the MM link to your Github based installer. Copy your script, hit enter.
                  When asked about screensaver & pm2 I answer yes to both.

                    @ankonaskiff17 yes, it’s the 64 bit os… SOOOOO we don’t know… we don’t test there. but it’s electron that is managing the keyboard in the browser

                    alt-spacebar has been working for 30 years.

                      @sdetweil is the aarch64 what is telling you 64 bit?

                      I am about 95% sure that the other MM I referenced having built a couple of years ago is 64 bit also.
                      ALT on that MM brings up the toolbar as expected.
                      BUT…when I do ALT+Spacebar it does not give the same result.
                      The way I’m reading your comments ALT and ALT+Spacebar should give the same result, or did in the past.

                      Not being a programmer many of these commands I am unaware of.

                        @ankonaskiff17 I never tried alt by itself, ever.

                        yes aarch64 is 64 bit, armv7l is 32 bit

                        raspi 64 bit came out last year. was a beta before that… beta pretty unstable
