[10:37] hi all [10:37] I have question on thunderbird on ubuntu mate [10:38] How to hide email addresss on thunderbird and how to have password prompt at launch [10:38] ? [10:39] not Ubuntu Mate related but thunderbird, so ask them [10:40] whenever I have to restart computer, I have to find and connect and pair my bluetooth mouse in ubuntu mate [10:40] How can I prevent that? [10:42] ask on the forum, there's not much activity here in the channel at this point [10:47] Guest87: it's off topic but the thunderbird password is available as an addon i can't recall what it's called. [10:47] ... [11:08] I'm using thunderbird with a master password without an addon [11:08] But I think it was in the "experimental new features" and I needed to enable something in about:config [11:08] I found a tutorial about that in google, it should be easy to search it [11:36] that souds familiar maybe master password was an addon but got integrated like the calender stuffs. [11:36] lightning? or whatever it was called [14:52] 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. [15:02] I doubt they would be. [15:03] You could download sources and compile them too, repos. Is there a reason? [15:05] 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. [15:06] First, I recommended that he try using the Ubuntu interim releases instead of the LTS releases he's using. [15:06] 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. [15:14] If he wants the latest, he could use a rolling distribution [15:14] Ubuntu doesn't offer that, does it? [15:15] If you want latest Ubuntu isn't the best choice. [15:15] 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] Adding a bunch of out of repo hacks will just make it so you can never upgrade to the next release. [15:16] Agreed. [15:16] I don't decide, though. I just lay down the options and let others decide. [15:17] I guess I'd say there's 4 classes. Normal and extended repo stuff, PPAs, containers (flatpack, snap, appimage, etc), and compiling it yourself. [15:18] Oh, I guess just downloading binaries and hoping works too. [15:18] Thanks. I'll add the parts of that that I was missing in my list to the message I'm sending him. === bigpod28 is now known as bigpod2 [16:41] sup folks
