| yundo3 | How can I fully disable automounting in Ubuntu 20.04? I tried to use "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false" But it does not work. | 10:44 |
| lotuspsychje | yundo3: automount anything, or only ntfs? | 11:09 |
| yundo3 | anything | 11:10 |
| lotuspsychje | yundo3: try to install stacer, then disable udisks systemd service, see if that can help | 11:25 |
| Jeremy31 | might want to check options in the file manager | 11:30 |
| yundo3 | Thanks for the help, the gnome3 filemanager does not provide any options regarding automatic mounting. Disabling udisks does work. | 11:39 |
| lotus|NUC | i think nautilus also should like Jeremy31 advices | 11:52 |

| thomasnoah | Hi all! | 17:01 |
| thomasnoah | ;D | 17:01 |
| thomasnoah | I have an awesome idea to make linux number 1 on desktops | 17:01 |
| thomasnoah | *Do you guys want to know this idea? | 17:01 |
| thomasnoah | I'm talking here because ubuntu can help in this regard, it's a popular distro | 17:02 |
| leftyfb | thomasnoah: you would probably be best writing an article on a blog or filing a bug with ubuntu or the linux kernel depending on the "idea" you have | 17:03 |
| thomasnoah | I wanted to first see what you guys think of the idea | 17:03 |
| oerheks | .. well? | 17:09 |
| thomasnoah | 1. Problem 1: "One of the problems with linux distributions is the variety of linux distributions". This is a problem because "An end user just wants to install something and use it. He doesn't care if it's debian, mint, ubuntu, slackware". | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | note: | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | 1. I love the ubuntu distro and I think it's an interesting distro. But I've used mint, slackware and other linux distributions. | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | 2. But as I said earlier, an end user doesn't really care what distribution he's using. | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | 3. To solve the above problem, it would be interesting if all linux distributions had the same installation pattern. | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | 4. Ubuntu's installation interface is very interesting and has great usability. About that, part of my idea is to create an easy installer based on Ubuntu installer. | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | 5. I'm thinking of creating an installer that will be standard for any linux distribution. This could make life easier for users who always want to migrate from one linux distro to another linux distro without major problems. | 17:11 |
| basenjis | QA Tested Ubuntu Canary 22.04 daily build. Crashed during install | 17:11 |
| thomasnoah | This is where the linux desktop journey begins! | 17:11 |
| oerheks | basenjis, join #ubuntu-next for that | 17:12 |
| thomasnoah | I recently read an article about distrochoose. It's a tool that works like a quiz where there are questions and answers - my idea would be to use this quiz when installing the linux distro. | 17:12 |
| oerheks | thomasnoah, will not work, i am afraid | 17:12 |
| Jeremy31 | basenjis: is that Covid Canary? or Carnivorous Canary | 17:13 |
| thomasnoah | Part of my idea to create is an installer based on the Ubuntu installer with the distrochoose concept. | 17:13 |
| basenjis | Can we design a new installer for Ubuntu? | 17:13 |
| oerheks | Jeremy31, canary https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-canary/ | 17:13 |
| Jeremy31 | ubiquity | 17:13 |
| basenjis | yes | 17:13 |
| basenjis | An installer that is quicker during the OS install | 17:14 |
| oerheks | based on curtin? | 17:14 |
| thomasnoah | To make it possible for users to migrate from linux distro to another linux distro without any problems, I'm thinking of using the distrobox tool under the hood - it's an interesting tool where you have several types of kernell running. For example, it is possible to use kernell with ubuntu configurations as well as having a kernell with Debian | 17:15 |
| thomasnoah | configurations. | 17:15 |
| thomasnoah | My idea is this in short: Ubuntu installer + Distrochoose+Distrobox. | 17:15 |
| thomasnoah | This will allow users to configure or import the settings into the distro they prefer. | 17:16 |
| thomasnoah | This allows users to use various types of linux distribution without any problems. | 17:16 |
| oerheks | nice idea, without any problems, but is sounds so unreal | 17:17 |
| thomasnoah | In addition, it would allow users to have more choice: for example: choose the distro's default installation, import or configure an installation configuration. | 17:18 |
| basenjis | what about using dracut | 17:18 |
| oerheks | why would we fix other distros problems, when someone switches to ubuntu? | 17:19 |
| thomasnoah | My idea would be that all distributions have the same installer. I really like the Ubuntu installer. I'm thinking of using the base of this Ubuntu installer with the concept of Distrobox and distrochoose. | 17:20 |
| thomasnoah | This would be possible, if the Ubuntu community and other linux distro communities wanted it. | 17:21 |
| thomasnoah | reference: https://distrochooser.de/ | 17:21 |
| thomasnoah | reference: https://www.tecmint.com/distrobox-run-any-linux-distribution/ | 17:21 |
| thomasnoah | reference: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox | 17:21 |
| thomasnoah | This could make life easier for users and make linux the number one desktop for people. | 17:22 |
| thomasnoah | Dracut is a great idea ;D | 17:22 |
| thomasnoah | to manage file versions etc would use a rclone | 17:23 |
| thomasnoah | For example I talked about migrating from one linux distro to another linux distro - I could backup with rclone | 17:24 |
| thomasnoah | https://github.com/rclone/rclone | 17:24 |
| oerheks | too many distros and distro types, like rolling release in different stages | 17:24 |
| oerheks | nice idea, but i guess unreal | 17:24 |
| thomasnoah | well the code I'm still building: distrochoose+distrobox+ubuntu installer+rclone | 17:25 |
| thomasnoah | If I manage to do that, I leave the github link and you guys evaluate | 17:26 |
| thomasnoah | Possible is possible, the question would be if all linux communities would like to have the same installer | 17:27 |
| thomasnoah | I was thinking of leaving the repository as GPL2 which is the same license as the linux kernell | 17:27 |
| thomasnoah | If linux distros had the same installer, users would not have difficulty using UBuntu, slackware, mint, debian, kali inux etc. | 17:28 |
| thomasnoah | *Ubuntu | 17:28 |
| thomasnoah | I know that each linux distro has a concept, a differential | 17:29 |
| thomasnoah | But if some linux distributions use the same type of kernel, why couldn't we have the same installer? | 17:29 |
| thomasnoah | This "different installer" issue for each distro looks like the historical lisp issue - where each person had their version of lisp | 17:30 |
| thomasnoah | What I really wanted would be to have a common-linux-installer | 17:30 |
| thomasnoah | So people could use the common installer on each linux distro at the time if they don't want to, they could use the default community installer they prefer | 17:31 |
| thomasnoah | In the case of lisp as there were several versions of lisp they created the common lisp version | 17:32 |
| thomasnoah | We could create a common linux installation version following this concept: distrochoose+distrobox+ubuntu installer+rclone | 17:33 |
| thomasnoah | That would be my idea of making linux number 1 on desktop, I apologize for any inconvenience. | 17:34 |
| thomasnoah | Regards, Thomas Noah. | 17:34 |
| thomasnoah | Note: I have no objective of imposing common-linux-installer for any community, it would be an option for beginners to use the linux distro of their choice and if they had difficulty they could migrate to another linux distro | 17:37 |
| thomasnoah | I want to read all your comments if the idea of creating a common installation for linux distributions is a good thing or a bad thing | 17:42 |
| thomasnoah | reference: https://common-lisp.net/ | 17:42 |
| thomasnoah | reference: http://jmc.stanford.edu/articles/lisp/lisp.pdf | 17:45 |
| thomasnoah | "In the late 1970s several variants of LISP were in use. Common Lisp began as a remedy for over-diversification - a unified version of LISp aimed at integrating the advantages of the various Lisps that existed and avoiding the disadvantages. Common Lisp it was a big step forward as it incorporated the lessons learned from Scheme." | 17:46 |
