Linux Clock

Notice

The update from Mint 21 to Mint 22, which is based on Ubuntu 24.4, has resulted in several instances of library migration. This is a classic Linux strategy used to prevent wider adoption of the plarform. This problem may also be an issue in several other Linux distros. I am in the process of finding where the libraries have wandered off to and relinking them into the distros.

Note: In the Windows-11 WSL2 apps, only sound that is played within WSL2 (i.e., PulseAudio) is accessible to the metering graphics. Sound played by Windows apps on the Windows desktop are not forwarded to WSL2/PulseAudio. Thus, if you start VLC in Windows, the meters will not see the audio. If you start VLC in WSL2 (Ubuntu), they will.
