Hi Israel,
I tried doing updates but it keeps failing to finish updating ; see 2 screenshots...
Updates got stuck first time, so I interrupted the terminal and tried again and got this...
              
So I typed > 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'  and get the results below which never finish...

              
Cheers,JackT.

    Hi Jack,

    I finally had some time to work more on firstrun.

    The good news, I found that firefox in Debian is now 'firefox-esr'
    and is in the repositories.  So all the jumble of what we used to
    have to do is totally finished!!!  It is really simple now.

    

    I think I fixed a few of the other firstrun bugs, as well.

    I also log all the gtk warning garbage to a file so the users don't
    have to see it.

    Anyhow, I am updating the torios-desktop package now so I think
    things should work well.

    

    I also updated the menu program, as I have condensed all my simple
    c++ common functions (in all my programs) to a single common library
    (with its own namespace no less :D  linuxcommon ) so things are now
    easier to keep track of, as I can simply use the same common library
    for all my stuff.

    

    I have been working on the library for quite a while for another
    program, and I decided to rework the menu program slightly to
    include it, and use the better functions.
