| Iamthehuman1 | Hello and thanks for this most fun Linux distro. Things have been running quite smoothly, but I just noticed the default action fro double clicking .ods (LibreOffice Calc's files) opens them in Ark and not LibreOffice. Excuse me, but what is going on? US bug or Kubuntu bug or just unique bug? | 07:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Iamthehuman1 | I would please like "Open with LibreOffice Calc" to be the default for .ods and yes I know I can set it somewhere in the system settings, but I would like to know why and how this bug happened to show up. Please? | 07:54 |
| Iamthehuman1 | I am the human who had all his home OS horribly poisoned for ages, until I realized to "NUKE THE M$FT ACCOUNT AND GET CLEAN ONE OR THIS WILL NOT WORK" and then I got rid off all the "bugs" that were driving me insane and often "do not exist, because cannot be replicated". After that and a clean dock from Lenovo these systems have been quite deterministic and not just messing with my wellbeing | 07:58 |
| Eickmeyer | Iamthehuman1: The libreoffice thing is just a file association thing that's easily cleared-up that one time with that checkbox. | 14:28 |
| Eickmeyer | Not having Calc installed by default was a space-saving measure at the time when we were having trouble getting everything on the ISO image, and I just forgot to put it back when that was resolved. | 14:28 |
| Eickmeyer | File associations are fixed in System Settings > Applications > File Associations | 14:28 |
| Iamthehuman1 | Oh, ok, thank you for clearing this one from darkening my skies Eickmeyer. I'll map 'em now | 14:29 |
| Iamthehuman1 | Ok, now I'm weirded out again. This must be an Aptik-bug (by the guy who wrote Timeshift). I have no LibreOffice Calc at all! | 14:33 |
| Iamthehuman1 | bummer, lets see if I can find it in Discover | 14:33 |
| Iamthehuman1 | ok, now I should have the Calc installed, weird huh | 14:35 |
| Eickmeyer | Not weird at all if you never had it installed in the first place. | 14:39 |
| Iamthehuman1 | it was installed on the previous system, but I dunno TeeJee's bug? Aptik is still a great tool to save aspects of OS on old system and then make a clean Linux just like the original one, or just the programs, or just the files. Maybe I'll message him about that this happened, but then again the copy-creating Aptik was run on the malwared-out Linux | 14:53 |
| Eickmeyer | I'm not familiar with that tool at all, and to me it screams of big yikes. | 14:54 |
| Eickmeyer | And fwiw, I'm looking at having libreoffice-calc reinstated for 22.04.1, but that is going to require some red tape. | 14:56 |
| Iamthehuman1 | Have you heard people complaining that Timeshift did not work? I would not have found his other software if Timeshift wasn't murmured on irc chans | 14:56 |
| Iamthehuman1 | but yeah, vielen Danke for clearing this one out and thanks for the time and effort you put into this distro so we can have Klingity-Klangity sw as well as LibreOffice on ONLY ONE COMPUTER! | 14:57 |
| Eickmeyer | :) | 15:05 |
| Eickmeyer | I don't use timeshift, to be honest. I use the built-in backup solution (System Settings > Backups) | 15:06 |
| Iamthehuman1 | A true KDE loyalist :D :D | 15:11 |
| Iamthehuman1 | I heard that using BTRFS and something one can boot straight into a snapshot without needing to restore it and reboot, but that BTRFS maybe not superstable, or maybe it was the LUKS being fonky | 15:12 |
| Eickmeyer | Iamthehuman1: It's true, but don't mistake btrfs for a backup solution. | 16:15 |
| Iamthehuman1 | I dunno why Timeshift doesn't have rsync and rclone support, the baqpaq (timeshift for /home) has it. I guess TeeJee just sees that people would get more into trouble with those in Timeshift than not | 19:01 |
| Iamthehuman1 | Sometime ago (I dunno 10-15 yrs?) people were saying really good things about ReiserFS, but then the main author got locked up in the slammer or something like that and people little bit moved away, but not too fast, that would give them away | 19:04 |
| Iamthehuman1 | Timeshift has two alternatives for archiving system rsync and btrfs iirc. But this is off-topic, so should just shut up and probably pray more. | 19:09 |
