[16:49] hey guys [16:50] is there someone? [16:54] xubuntu28w: Yes, just ask your question, if somebody knows the answer, he will say so [16:54] and you have to stay around for a while [16:55] just wanna talk [16:55] u guys passion its informatic? [16:55] my passion its cinema lol [16:57] You probably want #xubuntu-offtopic then [16:58] keypass: either use a PPA or download the archive directly from mozilla, extract it and create a launcher for it [17:00] keypass: may I ask why you would want to do that? [17:00] keypass: the version of firefox that's shipped with ubuntu is most likely the best maintained version you'll get on ubuntu [17:02] because it updates every couple of weeks firefox [17:03] I rather have a long term support with firefox estr [17:03] keypass: so? [17:03] *esr [17:03] I dont want my firefox updating every week [17:03] why not? [17:03] prefer quarter updates [17:03] because firefox is known to break with weekly updates [17:03] esr is LTS [17:03] adding a nonstandard browser exposes you to waaaay more risk than monthly updates [17:03] "Firefox is known to break" [17:04] esr is well maintained [17:04] you're exagerating immensely [17:04] and security updates are patched up immediatley [17:04] with firefox esr [17:04] which is also true for regular firefox [17:04] sure but it updates too frequently [17:05] for my liking [17:05] I dont need a version update every week [17:05] just a version thats supported with the latest security patches which firefox esr does [17:06] keypass: the non esr version properly supported by ubuntu [17:06] anything you add from third party, is likely less well maintained [17:06] the problem which rarely happen on frequent updates to exist, but they really quite rare [17:09] sticking with the standard firefox in ubuntu is by far the best advice anybody can give you [17:09] im on xubuntu [17:09] now ubuntu [17:09] *not [17:09] 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] it doesn't matter whether it's on ubuntu on xubuntu, same repositories [17:10] keypass: are you in an enterprise networking, deploying xubuntu large scale? [17:10] or just for you? [17:10] just for me [17:11] keypass: then why would that matter [17:11] well it doesnt seem like im getitng any support from you [17:12] I just would like to replace firefox with firefox esr [17:12] officially firefox-esr is not supported on xubuntu [17:12] few linux distros actually support the esr version [17:14] hey guys, how can i erase windows 10 and install xubuntu? [17:14] i already have the USB bootable [17:15] 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] keypass: so again, it's ill advised [17:15] xubuntu40w: just boot from the stick and follow the setup [17:17] im already up and running [17:17] just updating the machine now [17:19] keypass: that repo may however receive security updates later than the main version [17:20] 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] ok well have a good day [18:16] Hey guys, i just installed xubuntu on my asus laptop bu i cant connect to my wifi [19:39] vp11: Just curious if you're still experiencing the same GPU issue [19:42] 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] vp11: Thanks, I'd appreciate an update either way ( whether amdgpu PPA solves/mitigates the issue or no change ) [19:50] ... it can help to know if later another user has the same issue, what works or doesn't work [19:52] indeed [21:55] hey guys, i just installed xubuntu and i cant connect to internet [21:55] wifi [21:56] Obtain the Windows driver for your network device and locate the file that ends with .inf Install the ndisgtk package Go to → Settings Manager → Windows Wireless Drivers Select Install new driver Choose the location of your Windows .inf file and click Install Click OK [21:56] on troubleshooting say this but i didnt understand completly [21:56] someone can help me? thanks [22:04] Those instructions are only for when no native linux driver exists for your adapter ( it will use the NDIS driver) [22:07] xubuntu51w: Do you know what wifi adapter your machine has? [22:09] nope [22:09] my machine its an asus laptop model x550c [22:11] If you issue in a console: lspci | grep Net ...what network devices does it say the machine has? [22:14] i find it [22:15] 03:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp.
