A video check indicated that webm should work but that Opera was not able to play h.264 video. H.264 video plays fine in FireFox and Vivaldi and chromium on my 18.04 systems. It looks to be a bug with Opera on Xubuntu and not something with Xubuntu. - Victor -- -- Victor Forberger vforber...@fastmail.fm blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users

I have it on my computers and have had no problems. Unless you are networking with computers or printers via zeroconf, you can probably remove it. - Victor -- -- Victor Forberger vforber...@fastmail.fm blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
