No, not that I know. scrot comes with Lubuntu, and I run it from a
terminal window or from Alt + F2 (the Run window).

In 'Applications' for example Bitmap, ImageMagick (display), Screenie,
Terminal, ... have '?' while they have icons in the menu.

I cannot find such a file (no log file at all in the home directory).

What is the settings-manager? How do I test it?

*OBI-installer*

I notice that you have not updated the version from 2.6 to 2.7.

I found the first bug in obi-installer. It cannot download tarballs. I
have not yet debugged it. But we can install a working OBI system with
mkusb from

dd_OBI-precise-mini-4GB.img.xz

to a pendrive. Or use what you had before in the ToriOS iso files.

Best regards
Nio
