[13:01] your file manager? Your browser? Your DE? Your bespoke application that has something titled "Favorites"? [13:01] in Ubuntu OS [13:04] Yakov: if you're referring to the tab on the left side of the default file manager in a stock Ubuntu install called nautilus, you don't put applications there. Those are for locations to navigate [13:05] Yakov: if you're referring to the dock with icons for applications, then you need to make a .desktop file to execute your script and drop the .desk file to your dock [13:05] its option two, leftyfg [13:06] any proper guide for variant two?

Could anyone tell me which source files (ubuntu-image utility) is there to trigger the build? if there's any other method I'm also ok. [19:07] such images are available for download from ubuntu.com. that's unless you need to generate a customized pre-installed image? [19:08] Yes, I want to get it customized with some extra packages [19:09] I'm fine with packer, ubuntu-image or whatever other tooling is required. I assumed as ubuntu is open source, the build scripts would be somewhere, but I can't find them (several hours searching already) [19:09] that's not something i've done for raspi before, can't help. [20:26] https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ where's us-east 22.04 ?! [20:34] preach: "Showing 1 to 100 of 466 entries". and if you have questions on cloud images, best head over to #ubuntu-cloud [20:35] oh sorry, no us-east *for 22.04* indeed. [20:44] evening all [20:47] greetings, fred_ [21:25] Is it a good idea to full-format SSD's after using Linux on them, and or before re-installing over? [21:26] Or can I just erase and partition over ? [21:30] RedPen: it might be quicker to quick reformat than delete? not sure how it works if youre trying for speed, its certainly normal to reformal on reinstall [21:30] *reformat [21:30] ok [21:30] I just create new partitions with installers, is that the same as a quick format? [21:31] im not completely sure but i think its the same as a quick one, because a full one writes over all the data [21:32] if you need new partitions you can use partition tools, theres usually option to do a full reformat, i wouldnt bother because i have no secure data on it [21:32] ok, I think so too. I've never had an issue before. [21:34] usually you don't need to do anything. but there can be situations where installers get irritated by existing on disk dstructures. if that's the case, run wipefs --all against the device (make double sure you hit the right device) [22:18] Maybe here someone knows: Ive tried disabling showing grub at boot, edited etc/default/grub and set timeout to 0, run grub update, grub still there. Why is it not working? [22:19] Elw3: is it a dual boot? [22:20] i think so [22:20] Elw3: windows or another linux OS? [22:21] Brand new pc where ive run the installer on full auto, i believe it kept windows. [22:22] Elw3: the grub menu will show by default then [22:22] ... [22:22] Yea but the question is, how to not. [22:23] Elw3: might take someone better than me with grub [22:27] I already see that this behaviour is caused by a line in grub.cfg saying if timeout==0 then timeout =10. But this file is not supposed to be edited manually so i really need to find out where the right config file for this is. [22:36] Elw3: I think anything there gets ignored when os-prober finds the other OS [22:40] I mean i could disable os prober then. But for ppl who desire multiboot and no grub, i mean you can still show it holding shift, this looks like a design flaw [22:49] Elw3: os-prober is disabled, but that might be for non UEFI [22:50] Yee the installer gave a warning about this i remeber. grub update definetly run it tho. [22:51] Normal for UEFI with 2 OS on the same drive [22:52] Elw3: See https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/06/hide-grub-boot-menu-ubuntu-20-04-lts/ ignore the grub-customizer stuff and go to editing the /etc/default/grub [22:58] Ah so "And set quick_boot=”0″." Is what i need apparently. Cool find, thanks. [22:58] Also totally not an obvious option, quick boot to string of 0... makes no sense but okey [23:01] Elw3: like I said someone smarter than me with grub [23:03] There is no smartness here, only better google skills. [23:04] I have lost touch with how to research such problems in the recent years because search engines make less and less sense to me. [23:10] Elw3: yes and sometimes you have to wade through the garbage
