| keypass | Hi, I just installed xubuntu and would to replace the current version of firefox with the firefox-esr current version ? which is the best way to do this ? | 16:48 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu28w | hey guys | 16:49 |
| xubuntu28w | is there someone? | 16:50 |
| gnrp | xubuntu28w: Yes, just ask your question, if somebody knows the answer, he will say so | 16:54 |
| gnrp | and you have to stay around for a while | 16:54 |
| xubuntu28w | just wanna talk | 16:55 |
| xubuntu28w | u guys passion its informatic? | 16:55 |
| xubuntu28w | my passion its cinema lol | 16:55 |
| Andrio | You probably want #xubuntu-offtopic then | 16:57 |
| brainwash | keypass: either use a PPA or download the archive directly from mozilla, extract it and create a launcher for it | 16:58 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: may I ask why you would want to do that? | 17:00 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: the version of firefox that's shipped with ubuntu is most likely the best maintained version you'll get on ubuntu | 17:00 |
| keypass | because it updates every couple of weeks firefox | 17:02 |
| keypass | I rather have a long term support with firefox estr | 17:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: so? | 17:03 |
| keypass | *esr | 17:03 |
| keypass | I dont want my firefox updating every week | 17:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | why not? | 17:03 |
| keypass | prefer quarter updates | 17:03 |
| keypass | because firefox is known to break with weekly updates | 17:03 |
| keypass | esr is LTS | 17:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | adding a nonstandard browser exposes you to waaaay more risk than monthly updates | 17:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | "Firefox is known to break" | 17:03 |
| keypass | esr is well maintained | 17:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | you're exagerating immensely | 17:04 |
| keypass | and security updates are patched up immediatley | 17:04 |
| keypass | with firefox esr | 17:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | which is also true for regular firefox | 17:04 |
| keypass | sure but it updates too frequently | 17:04 |
| keypass | for my liking | 17:05 |
| keypass | I dont need a version update every week | 17:05 |
| keypass | just a version thats supported with the latest security patches which firefox esr does | 17:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: the non esr version properly supported by ubuntu | 17:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | anything you add from third party, is likely less well maintained | 17:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | the problem which rarely happen on frequent updates to exist, but they really quite rare | 17:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | sticking with the standard firefox in ubuntu is by far the best advice anybody can give you | 17:09 |
| keypass | im on xubuntu | 17:09 |
| keypass | now ubuntu | 17:09 |
| keypass | *not | 17:09 |
| keypass | The ESR will also have a two cycles (at least 12 weeks) overlap between the time of a new release and the end-of-life of the previous release to permit testing and certification prior to deploying a new version. | 17:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | it doesn't matter whether it's on ubuntu on xubuntu, same repositories | 17:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: are you in an enterprise networking, deploying xubuntu large scale? | 17:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | or just for you? | 17:10 |
| keypass | just for me | 17:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: then why would that matter | 17:11 |
| keypass | well it doesnt seem like im getitng any support from you | 17:11 |
| keypass | I just would like to replace firefox with firefox esr | 17:12 |
| pmjdebruijn | officially firefox-esr is not supported on xubuntu | 17:12 |
| pmjdebruijn | few linux distros actually support the esr version | 17:12 |
| xubuntu40w | hey guys, how can i erase windows 10 and install xubuntu? | 17:14 |
| xubuntu40w | i already have the USB bootable | 17:14 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: the least crappy way would probably be using https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa but I don't know if that's entirely trustworthy | 17:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: so again, it's ill advised | 17:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu40w: just boot from the stick and follow the setup | 17:15 |
| keypass | im already up and running | 17:17 |
| keypass | just updating the machine now | 17:17 |
| pmjdebruijn | keypass: that repo may however receive security updates later than the main version | 17:19 |
| pmjdebruijn | the general rule of thumb is, external repositories are more likely to be less well maintained than the main repositories, though there are exception, they just hard to identify | 17:20 |
| keypass | ok well have a good day | 17:23 |
| xubuntu30w | Hey guys, i just installed xubuntu on my asus laptop bu i cant connect to my wifi | 18:16 |
| genii | vp11: Just curious if you're still experiencing the same GPU issue | 19:39 |
| vp11 | genii: I still didn't have the chance to update that laptop, but will later tonight or during the weekend. I'll let you know the results :) | 19:42 |
| genii | vp11: Thanks, I'd appreciate an update either way ( whether amdgpu PPA solves/mitigates the issue or no change ) | 19:49 |
| genii | ... it can help to know if later another user has the same issue, what works or doesn't work | 19:50 |
| vp11 | indeed | 19:52 |
