| silv3r_m00n | hi there i am using Kubuntu, when i hover mouse over the taskbar, the respective windows flashes over the current window, anybody knows how to disable this ? | 16:50 |
| user|37519 | HI. I want to know how can i install a software .deb in Kubuntu 20.4.2 | 18:12 |
| user|37519 | COuld you help me? | 18:12 |
| tomreyn | user|37519: hi there | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | the best way to install software is through apt repositories (and maybe snaps) | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | you can also install .deb's directly, but this means you cannot get updates for them automatically | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | also, you need to trust them ultimately to not harm your computer | 18:14 |
| user|37519 | i dont find snes9x in Discover and i want to install it. | 18:14 |
| user|37519 | do you know how can i install it? | 18:14 |
| tomreyn | finally you also need to ensure this package will actually be compatible to your very kubuntu version | 18:15 |
| tomreyn | here's a way to do so, and possibly break things: sudo apt install path/to/where/you/stored/thatfile.deb | 18:15 |
| tomreyn | if you want to describe what you are trrying to install exactly, i may be able to provide a better solution | 18:15 |
| user|37519 | snes9x is a Super Nintendo System (SNES) emulator | 18:16 |
| tomreyn | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1242963/how-to-install-snes9x-from-the-github-repository lists several approaches. none of those are ideal. | 18:18 |
| user|37519 | then, theres nothing to do? | 18:21 |
| Dragnslcr | user|37519- have you tried ZSNES? It's available in the standard Ubuntu repository? | 18:23 |
| tomreyn | none that's supported here. the easiest approach is probably to use the flatpak | 18:23 |
| Dragnslcr | Sorry, that second part shouldn't be a question | 18:23 |
| Dragnslcr | It's available in the standard Ubuntu repository | 18:23 |
| tomreyn | oh that may be a better suggestion | 18:24 |
| tomreyn | i have no clue about NES emulators | 18:24 |
| Dragnslcr | It's been a while since I've run a SNES emulator, so I can't remember for sure which one I went with | 18:24 |
| user|37519 | how can i install a software in Kubuntu from Ubuntu repository? | 18:24 |
| tomreyn | they share the same repositories | 18:25 |
| tomreyn | so you just install it as you would on kubuntu | 18:25 |
| user|37519 | Thanks | 18:26 |
| Dragnslcr | There's also Higan, but I vaguely remember having issues with it | 18:26 |
| Dragnslcr | And there's mednafen, which I've never used before, but the package description says it does SNES emulation, so you could try it out | 18:27 |
| Maik | best thing i came across is to take a pi 4 and install retropie on it for retro gaming, it supports a lot of emulators OOTB | 18:43 |
| user|37519 | I already solved the problem. I got other snes emulator | 18:46 |
| user|37519 | i have one more cuestion. how can i upgrade Libre Office and get spanish language? | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | for the second part: sduo apt install libreoffice-l10n-es libreoffice-help-es mythes-es | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | for the first part: | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | !latest | 18:50 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | (this also applies to Kubuntu) | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | in many situations the correct answer is: if you *actually need* a newer version, consider a Kubuntu upgrade. | 18:52 |
| user|37519 | So if the version I have works better, leave it | 18:53 |
| user|37519 | is that right? | 18:53 |
| Maik | if it works just leave it as is | 18:54 |
| tomreyn | works better than what? | 18:54 |
| Maik | newest doesn't alway mean it's better and newest can also bring new bugs | 18:54 |
| user|37519 | Thanks | 18:58 |
| Maik | But.... if you want the latest then there's the Snap version which will be kept more up to date than the software in the main ubuntu repo's | 18:58 |
| Maik | it's up to you | 18:58 |
