| wez | yay lotuspsychje is here! | 06:25 |
| arraybolt3 | Alright wait. I was fine with "See info about Ubuntu Pro by going to <URL>" in the "apt upgrade" output. But now it's been replaced with a placeholder that says "News about significant security updates, features and services will appear here to raise awareness and perhaps tease /r/Linux ;)" ...Mentioning Reddit in the output? I mean for those who hate ads, I guess this is an upgrade, but | 14:00 |
| arraybolt3 | this one gives me anxiety because it doesn't look official and looks like I've been hacked or something :P | 14:00 |
| murmel | arraybolt3: go complain, so they can tease you :P | 14:01 |
| arraybolt3 | Well, hey, it's progress. As long as everything keeps working right, I'm happy. But I might actually turn off the apt news now... | 14:01 |
| arraybolt3 | I dunno. I'll leave it on, it's not causing any harm, just was a bit "OH NO WHA... oh wait nevermind we're OK". | 14:02 |
| murmel | arraybolt3: I wonder why you only got now the message. has been out for quite a bit | 14:04 |
| arraybolt3 | murmel: Probably phased updates again. | 14:45 |
| oerheks | lolz, i see it too | 14:52 |
| oerheks | Use 'pro config set apt_news=false' to hide this and future APT news. | 14:53 |
| enigma9o7 | I have a system with ubuntu 18.04. If I try to login to firefox, it opens a white page with an animated blue circle, but never lets me login. | 17:47 |
| enigma9o7 | I tried firefox support and was told to use the mozilla version directly, which I did, and it lets me login. But that doesnt help anything cuz the whole reason I wanted to do it was to export my passwords from my ubuntu version. | 17:48 |
| enigma9o7 | So, I t hought I'd try ubuntu support. Note t his happens in "troubleshooting mode" which is supposed to disable all my add-ons and stuff. I'd really like to sign into firefox sync. | 17:49 |
| enigma9o7 | I meant to post this in regular #ubuntu | 17:51 |
| enigma9o7 | oops. | 17:51 |
| arraybolt3 | Anyone else in here think that Thunderbird is awesome? | 18:24 |
| arraybolt3 | Just started using it yesterday, I can't believe I've just been using the GMail web UI this whole time. Very happy to be using an actual mail client now. | 18:25 |
| leftyfb | arraybolt3: I've been using it since before it was Thunderbird :) | 18:30 |
| arraybolt3 | What was it called back then? | 18:31 |
| leftyfb | Netscape. Well, technically loosely based on. Mozilla was started by folks from Netscape. I think Thunderbird's code was loosely based on Netscape Mail | 18:36 |
| arraybolt3 | Oh cool! | 18:38 |
| leftyfb | I also used to use Eudora. I think that was my first email client | 18:39 |
| murmel | arraybolt3: the only thing missing for me is tray support :S and no birdtray is not an option for me | 18:41 |
| murmel | they reimplemented it for windows, so i _do_ hope for linux at some point | 18:42 |
| murmel | somebody know of a paste service which accepts roughly 5mb of text? | 18:47 |
| arraybolt3 | murmel: You could use Element/Matrix, that's what I use for stuff like that. | 19:22 |
| murmel | arraybolt3: can you link those outside of matrix? | 19:23 |
| arraybolt3 | Yep. When you paste a file into the chat in Matrix, it gives a link to it that people outside of Matrix can see. | 19:27 |
| leftyfb | murmel: why would you ever need to share out 5MB of text using a pastebin service? Either way, try https://gist.github.com/ | 19:27 |
| arraybolt3 | leftyfb: They have a 1MB cap. | 19:28 |
| leftyfb | ok, then just use github | 19:28 |
| arraybolt3 | Can someone tell me off the top of my head how to change the default editor that Git launches if you do something like git commit --amend? Mine was set to Vim out of the box, and I use nano, not Vim. | 19:30 |
| arraybolt3 | I can stumble my way around enough, but it's pathetic (a, then use arrow keys and edit text like normal, then Esc, then :wq) | 19:30 |
| arraybolt3 | s/off the top of my head/off the top of *their* head/ | 19:31 |
| arraybolt3 | (Yeah if someone could think of something off the top of *my* head I'd have thought of it already :P) | 19:32 |
| leftyfb | arraybolt3: get better at vim. You will be WAY more productive I promise :) | 19:38 |
| leftyfb | arraybolt3: https://vim-adventures.com/ | 19:39 |
| arraybolt3 | No time, no interest, no thanks. :P | 19:39 |
| arraybolt3 | I might do it later though. | 19:39 |
| leftyfb | "no time" = exactly the reason you need to do it :) | 19:39 |
| arraybolt3 | Some people get really good with Nano too. | 19:39 |
| leftyfb | arraybolt3: I typed "git change default editor" into google and got this as the first result: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/gitlab-cookbook/9781783986842/apas07.html | 19:40 |
| murmel | arraybolt3: set the editor environment variable | 19:40 |
| arraybolt3 | leftyfb: Thank you, that worked! (Bah, didn't think to Google it, I may have gotten too used to hunting through documentation.) | 19:43 |

| murmel | somebody knows which package I need to file a bug against for snaps "losing" their icons? | 20:39 |
| murmel | for example https://i.ibb.co/0jmHzbB/Screenshot-from-2022-11-11-21-37-01.png | 20:39 |
| crax23 | I'd say either the file manager or the desktop. | 21:29 |
| crax23 | and/or the concerned snaps itself. | 21:30 |
| crax23 | cause their icon might be wrongly defined. | 21:30 |
| murmel | crax23: hm, good question as this happens to firefox and chromium only (at least on my device) | 22:21 |
