[10:37] <Guest87> hi all
[10:37] <Guest87> I have question on thunderbird on ubuntu mate
[10:38] <Guest87> How to hide email addresss on thunderbird and how to have password prompt at launch
[10:38] <Guest87> ?
[10:39] <Mekaneck> not Ubuntu Mate related but thunderbird, so ask them
[10:40] <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?
[10:42] <Mekaneck> ask on the forum, there's not much activity here in the channel at this point
[10:47] <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> ...
[11:08] <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
[11:36] <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
[14:52] <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.
[15:02] <sixwheeledbeast> I doubt they would be.
[15:03] <sixwheeledbeast> You could download sources and compile them too, repos. Is there a reason?
[15:05] <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.
[15:06] <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.
[15:14] <alkisg> If he wants the latest, he could use a rolling distribution
[15:14] <Elliria> Ubuntu doesn't offer that, does it?
[15:15] <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.
[15:16] <Elliria> Agreed.
[15:16] <Elliria> I don't decide, though. I just lay down the options and let others decide.
[15:17] <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.
[15:18] <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.
