Mekanecknot Ubuntu Mate related but thunderbird, so ask them10:39
Guest87whenever I have to  restart computer, I have to find and connect and pair my bluetooth mouse in ubuntu mate10:40
Guest87How can I prevent that?10:40
Mekaneckask on the forum, there's not much activity here in the channel at this point10:42
sixwheeledbeastGuest87: 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
alkisgI'm using thunderbird with a master password without an addon11:08
alkisgBut I think it was in the "experimental new features" and I needed to enable something in about:config11:08
alkisgI found a tutorial about that in google, it should be easy to search it11:08
sixwheeledbeastthat souds familiar maybe master password was an addon but got integrated like the calender stuffs.11:36
sixwheeledbeastlightning? or whatever it was called11:36
ElliriaHey 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
sixwheeledbeastI doubt they would be.15:02
sixwheeledbeastYou could download sources and compile them too, repos. Is there a reason?15:03
ElliriaYeah, 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
ElliriaFirst, I recommended that he try using the Ubuntu interim releases instead of the LTS releases he's using.15:06
ElliriaBut 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
alkisgIf he wants the latest, he could use a rolling distribution15:14
ElliriaUbuntu doesn't offer that, does it?15:14
superkuhIf you want latest Ubuntu isn't the best choice.15:15
ElliriaHe 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
superkuhAdding a bunch of out of repo hacks will just make it so you can never upgrade to the next release.15:15
ElliriaAgreed.15:16
ElliriaI don't decide, though. I just lay down the options and let others decide.15:16
superkuhI 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
superkuhOh, I guess just downloading binaries and hoping works too.15:18
ElliriaThanks. I'll add the parts of that that I was missing in my list to the message I'm sending him.15:18
