[16:48] <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 ?
[16:49] <xubuntu28w> hey guys
[16:50] <xubuntu28w> is there someone?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <xubuntu28w> just wanna talk
[16:55] <xubuntu28w> u guys passion its informatic?
[16:55] <xubuntu28w> my passion its cinema lol
[16:57] <Andrio> You probably want #xubuntu-offtopic then
[16:58] <brainwash> keypass: either use a PPA or download the archive directly from mozilla, extract it and create a launcher for it
[17:00] <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
[17:02] <keypass> because it updates every couple of weeks firefox
[17:03] <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"
[17:04] <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
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <pmjdebruijn> keypass: then why would that matter
[17:11] <keypass> well it doesnt seem like im getitng any support from you
[17:12] <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
[17:14] <xubuntu40w> hey guys, how can i erase windows 10 and install xubuntu?
[17:14] <xubuntu40w> i already have the USB bootable
[17:15] <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
[17:17] <keypass> im already up and running
[17:17] <keypass> just updating the machine now
[17:19] <pmjdebruijn> keypass: that repo may however receive security updates later than the main version
[17:20] <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
[17:23] <keypass> ok well have a good day
[18:16] <xubuntu30w> Hey guys, i just installed xubuntu on my asus laptop bu i cant connect to my wifi
[19:39] <genii> vp11: Just curious if you're still experiencing the same GPU issue
[19:42] <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 :)
[19:49] <genii> vp11: Thanks, I'd appreciate an update either way ( whether amdgpu PPA solves/mitigates the issue or no change )
[19:50] <genii> ... it can help to know if later another user has the same issue, what works or doesn't work
[19:52] <vp11> indeed
[21:55] <xubuntu51w> hey guys, i just installed xubuntu and i cant connect to internet

[22:04] <genii> Those instructions are only for when no native linux driver exists for your adapter ( it will use the NDIS driver)
[22:07] <genii> xubuntu51w: Do you know what wifi adapter your machine has?
[22:09] <xubuntu51w> nope
[22:09] <xubuntu51w> my machine its an asus laptop model x550c
[22:11] <genii> If you issue in a console: lspci | grep Net    ...what network devices does it say the machine has?
