| BikerMike | Hi. Is there a way to install Xubuntu in Win10 like how WUBI did for Ubuntu some time back? The BIOS key on the keyboard doesn't work so I can't boot off USB :( | 13:51 |
|---|---|---|
| brainwash | BikerMike: try this https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enter-uefi-bios-windows-10-pcs | 13:59 |
| BikerMike | thanks brainwash, will do | 14:02 |
| hansh_ | why is xubuntu 20.04 fetching updates over http by default? | 19:54 |
| hansh_ | with package signing, the security offered by httpS is largely redundant and http use less cpu? :p | 19:54 |
| hansh_ | or what's the justification? | 19:54 |
| hansh_ | (just installed a fresh Xubuntu 20.04 from the official iso, and to my surprise it fetches updates over http) | 19:55 |
| brainwash | hansh_: you couldn't find an answer for that? | 20:00 |
| hansh_ | brainwash, i haven't found an answer to that yet, why? | 20:00 |
| hansh_ | is it trivial to google the answer or something? | 20:00 |
| hansh_ | brainwash, at least the first 9 results didn't seem to contain the answer, https://i.imgur.com/fGv3l3n.png | 20:02 |
| brainwash | oh hmm | 20:02 |
| brainwash | whydoesaptnotusehttps.com was hijacked/sold :( | 20:03 |
| brainwash | apparently you can manually switch to https and it still should work | 20:06 |
| brainwash | by adjusting the sources.list | 20:06 |
| brainwash | in any case, it's not something specific to Xubuntu | 20:07 |
| hansh_ | and why is http the default? | 20:09 |
| hansh_ | for one, HTTPS would protect your privacy. with http, any MITM attacker can see what packages you install. | 20:09 |
| hansh_ | HTTPS might even protect the whole fact that you're using Xubuntu (probably doesn't, but it could be set up that way if it was behind a generic CDN and TLS1.3) | 20:11 |
| hansh_ | (that's part of the reason why The Great Firewall of China blocks TLS1.3...) | 20:11 |
| brainwash | I'm not here to discuss that | 20:11 |
| hansh_ | kk, but can someone give me an answer? why Xubuntu's apt configured to use HTTP by default? | 20:11 |
| brainwash | the answer is: because Ubuntu is configured this way | 20:12 |
| hansh_ | i see, thanks | 20:12 |
| brainwash | Xubuntu is built on top of the Ubuntu base | 20:12 |
| brainwash | that is why this channel is not the right place to discuss this matter | 20:13 |
| hansh_ | yeah after you told me "the answer is: because Ubuntu is configured this way", i decided to take the question to #Ubuntu | 20:14 |
| brainwash | alright :) | 20:14 |
| hansh_ | (there's a chance the answer is "because Debian is configured that way", in which case, eventually i may take the question to #Debian, who knows) | 20:14 |
| hansh_ | (in case any1's curious, here's the reason Ubuntu is configured that way: https://paste.debian.net/plain/1168866 ) | 20:26 |
| syb0rg | hi guys. Any way to prevent xfce from screwing up my window placement when I turn my monitors off and back on? | 23:52 |
