Guest87 | I have question on thunderbird on ubuntu mate | 10:37 |
Guest87 | How to hide email addresss on thunderbird and how to have password prompt at launch | 10:38 |
Guest87 | ? | 10:38 |
Mekaneck | not Ubuntu Mate related but thunderbird, so ask them | 10:39 |
Guest87 | whenever I have to restart computer, I have to find and connect and pair my bluetooth mouse in ubuntu mate | 10:40 |
Guest87 | How can I prevent that? | 10:40 |
Mekaneck | ask on the forum, there's not much activity here in the channel at this point | 10:42 |
sixwheeledbeast | Guest87: it's off topic but the thunderbird password is available as an addon i can't recall what it's called. | 10:47 |
sixwheeledbeast | ... | 10:47 |
alkisg | I'm using thunderbird with a master password without an addon | 11:08 |
alkisg | But I think it was in the "experimental new features" and I needed to enable something in about:config | 11:08 |
alkisg | I found a tutorial about that in google, it should be easy to search it | 11:08 |
sixwheeledbeast | that souds familiar maybe master password was an addon but got integrated like the calender stuffs. | 11:36 |
sixwheeledbeast | lightning? or whatever it was called | 11:36 |
Elliria | Hey there, does anyone have a link to a page that does a round-up of all the different ways one can add external software to Ubuntu (like snaps, .deb files, PPAs, etc.)? I've been searching on Google, but am going down a whole lot of related rabbit holes without finding all of it on one page. | 14:52 |
sixwheeledbeast | I doubt they would be. | 15:02 |
sixwheeledbeast | You could download sources and compile them too, repos. Is there a reason? | 15:03 |
Elliria | Yeah, I'm answering a mailing list message and suggesting that the person, who sounds like he wants to always have cutting-edge software, might want to consider one of those ways of getting it onto his machine. | 15:05 |
Elliria | First, I recommended that he try using the Ubuntu interim releases instead of the LTS releases he's using. | 15:06 |
Elliria | But I figured I'd add the other info just in case and don't want to litter the message with a whole bunch of links or don't give him any at all. | 15:06 |
alkisg | If he wants the latest, he could use a rolling distribution | 15:14 |
Elliria | Ubuntu doesn't offer that, does it? | 15:14 |
superkuh | If you want latest Ubuntu isn't the best choice. | 15:15 |
Elliria | He mentioned that the software he uses is released every 6 months, which is why I figured the Ubuntu interim releases would suit him. But the six-month mark might not coincide with his schedule, which is why I thought I'd suggest possibly using external ways of getting the latest software. | 15:15 |
superkuh | Adding a bunch of out of repo hacks will just make it so you can never upgrade to the next release. | 15:15 |
Elliria | Agreed. | 15:16 |
Elliria | I don't decide, though. I just lay down the options and let others decide. | 15:16 |
superkuh | I guess I'd say there's 4 classes. Normal and extended repo stuff, PPAs, containers (flatpack, snap, appimage, etc), and compiling it yourself. | 15:17 |
superkuh | Oh, I guess just downloading binaries and hoping works too. | 15:18 |
Elliria | Thanks. I'll add the parts of that that I was missing in my list to the message I'm sending him. | 15:18 |
