I don't know what the cause was but I could never get scanning (xsane) to work on either Linux Mint or Kubuntu. One of the claims about systemd is that it would provide faster boot up. However, my Devuan Linux boots faster than either KdeNeon or Kubuntu or Linux Mint. All three were installed on the same T480 laptop, which now runs Devuan. Finally there is the xz exploit, which has a writeup: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=171179460913574&w=2 it leads in with a quote to remember - "This dependency existed not because of a deliberate design decision by the developers of OpenSSH, but because of a kludge added by some Linux distributions to integrate the tool with the operating system's newfangled orchestration service, systemd." --- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ Semibug mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nycbug.org:8443/mailman/listinfo/semibug
