[04:14] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:25] <wez> yay lotuspsychje is here!
[14:00] <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
[14:01] <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...
[14:02] <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".
[14:04] <murmel> arraybolt3: I wonder why you only got now the message. has been out for quite a bit
[14:45] <arraybolt3> murmel: Probably phased updates again.
[14:52] <oerheks> lolz, i see it too
[14:53] <oerheks> Use 'pro config set apt_news=false' to hide this and future APT news.
[17:47] <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.
[17:48] <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.
[17:49] <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.
[17:51] <enigma9o7> I meant to post this in regular #ubuntu
[17:51] <enigma9o7> oops.
[18:24] <arraybolt3> Anyone else in here think that Thunderbird is awesome?
[18:25] <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.
[18:30] <leftyfb> arraybolt3: I've been using it since before it was Thunderbird :)
[18:31] <arraybolt3> What was it called back then?
[18:36] <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
[18:38] <arraybolt3> Oh cool!
[18:39] <leftyfb> I also used to use Eudora. I think that was my first email client
[18:41] <murmel> arraybolt3: the only thing missing for me is tray support :S and no birdtray is not an option for me
[18:42] <murmel> they reimplemented it for windows, so i _do_ hope for linux at some point
[18:47] <murmel> somebody know of a paste service which accepts roughly 5mb of text?
[19:22] <arraybolt3> murmel: You could use Element/Matrix, that's what I use for stuff like that.
[19:23] <murmel> arraybolt3: can you link those outside of matrix?
[19:27] <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/
[19:28] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: They have a 1MB cap.
[19:28] <leftyfb> ok, then just use github
[19:30] <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)
[19:31] <arraybolt3> s/off the top of my head/off the top of *their* head/
[19:32] <arraybolt3> (Yeah if someone could think of something off the top of *my* head I'd have thought of it already :P)
[19:38] <leftyfb> arraybolt3: get better at vim. You will be WAY more productive I promise :)
[19:39] <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.
[19:40] <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
[19:43] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: Thank you, that worked! (Bah, didn't think to Google it, I may have gotten too used to hunting through documentation.)
[20:39] <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
[21:29] <crax23> I'd say either the file manager or the desktop.
[21:30] <crax23> and/or the concerned snaps itself.
[21:30] <crax23> cause their icon might be wrongly defined.
[22:21] <murmel> crax23: hm, good question as this happens to firefox and chromium only (at least on my device)
