AskWoody PlusIt doesn’t seem to work for XWayland so that still needs a script hack by the way.

AskWoody Plus“The whole middle click paste thing and inability to disable it globally is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.”
Maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying but I just copied and pasted the above quote without any middle clicking. Right click for context menu, click copy, then left click to position cursor, then right click, click on paste. Done.
Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon
KDE Neon now has the ability to disable this. Edit ~/.config/kwinrc and add the following:
[Wayland]
EnablePrimarySelection=falseThis changes everything for me, I might have a contender on my hands here.

AskWoody PlusI just tested it, it works! At least in the current release of KDE Neon. Doesn’t seem to be in Kubuntu yet.
Edit ~/.config/kwinrc and add the following to the [Wayland] section (create it if it doesn’t exist):
EnablePrimarySelection=false
Log off and back on again and it’s all good! This changes everything for me.Edit: It can also be done in System Settings > Workspace Behaviour, uncheck “Paste selected text”.

AskWoody PlusLooks like KDE might have given me what I wanted. Must try this again sometime.

cd “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16”
cscript OSPP.VBS /dstatus
If you’re running 32-bit Office you might need to replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86)

AskWoody PlusI watched this video last week. However a big question I have is, was the Windows 11 install a bloatware OEM build or a stock Microsoft one? Can’t see why MS would be contacting McAfee servers.

AskWoody PlusWindows never natively supported commercial Blu-ray playback, you always needed a third-party application to play them. The drive should still work to read and write discs though, heck, even floppy disks are still supported!

AskWoody PlusFebruary 7, 2023 at 3:13 am in reply to: Would you ever run an MS-DOS program in 64-bit Windows? #2532274One benefit of doing this via vDOS/DOSBox rather than in a VM is that an additional OS licence isn’t required. If I were doing something like this casually for myself I wouldn’t mind too much but if for someone else I’d definitely want the licensing to be above board.

AskWoody PlusJanuary 27, 2023 at 5:00 pm in reply to: What patches hotfixes or drivers to run Win 7 in NVMe M.2? #2529690Sure, here you go. I only have KB2990941 though.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgFmvIdSh487tSSUjGVBJh4fmV-q?e=OjapvM
This was an out of band update so wasn’t included with any cumulative updates, to the best of my knowledge.

AskWoody PlusJanuary 27, 2023 at 3:19 pm in reply to: What patches hotfixes or drivers to run Win 7 in NVMe M.2? #2529666steeviebops — While in the Win 7 from my original HDD before the most recent clone to the NVMe, I was able to run the link by SIW2 in my SevenForums thread to his “Windows6.1-KB2990941-v3-x64.msu,”, but I was unable to run his link to “Windows6.1-KB3087873-v2-x64.msu”. That second one gave me a message that it was not appropriate for my PC.
Should I go back to the Win 7 in the HDD and try to run some more drivers, hotfixes or installations? And where can I find them now?
FYI – thanks to AskWoody, I was keeping my HDD’s Win 7 updated through mid-last year., on the full updates (Plan A). Did those updates already have NVMe drivers for Win 7? But happy to try to install any NVMe or related drivers or updates you might suggest.
Thanks.
I’m back home now so checked my archive and yes, KB2990941 is the one. Do you have SP1 installed and is the hotfix the correct (for the want of a better word) “bitness” for the OS you have?
