ALT not doing anything

[swvalenti]

Control M

@swvalenti @sdetweil Thanks. “Hey there sexy!” was getting old.

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti yes, but ctrl-m minimizes, where alt-spacebar brings up the menu, like alt used to do

[ankonaskiff17]

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

[sdetweil]

@ankonaskiff17 ctrl-m is minimize, ctrl-q quits

alt AND spacebar works for me

@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

@ankonaskiff17 sorry no idea.

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

@sdetweil
~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian

~ $ uname -a

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.
