  • According to this WiFi should work with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 Bit Did you install 24.04 or 22.04 ?

  • I'd expect most USB devices to work out of the box. Did you try : sudo dhclient ?

Easiest is probably to perform an installation that comes with a GUI. If the default Ubuntu installation iso is too large, there's for example Lubuntu.

I'd welcome polls implementation on Lemmy but maybe this is difficult with federation ? I wouldn't mind instance only polls.

The announcement resolves one of my last fears for Aux: development on Nix itself. It is no secret that the number of people knowledgeable about the project and are willing to work on this CPP codebase is small. You have probably seen me mention multiple times by now that @sig_cli needs all of the help that we can get. Lix resolves this entirely with a trusted team of experts. This means that Aux is now able to remove Nix development from our priorities and can instead collaborate with Lix moving forward.

  • Thanks for the reminder!

Mastodon is about micro-blogging, with text, images and videos. PixelFed is only about images which can have a short or longer description. There's Loops, a work in progress, which will enable short videos for PixelFed. If you would follow others on PixelFed from your PixelFed account you'd only see images.

Guess only North-Americans will worry about PixelFeds names :-)

Note: archlinux-2024.05.01-x86_64.iso should be run in GRUB2 mode to work. See Ventoy issue #2825.

The screen shot has a document Xubuntu -> Chicago95 open which appears to be related to this :

There used to be wicd as alternative for NM but its development is stalled. There is ConnMan though with apparently GUI and TUI options :

According to this Samba 4.16 removed the support for the old SMB1 Protocol.

Looking here : https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=samba you can see the difference between Jammy and Noble : 4.15 -> 4.19 So it looks like you're out of luck with fast and easy solutions. Maybe downloading the older Samba package and its dependencies and downgrade and then put the package on "hold" is maybe possible. During such an attempt using aptitude instead of apt could be helpful.

It can be, but for that, I would rather recommend Aurora or Bluefin. They are almost the same, but without gaming stuff.

Both links in your comment rendered invalid. Providing the correct links for other readers, based on the README from https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin :

Stunning - EDIT: The Android and Dillo browser part I meant!

Look! A #LibreOffice feature you may not know about 😉 When exporting a #PDF the "Hybrid PDF" option embeds the original file. Then anyone with a PDF reader can view the file – and LibreOffice users can edit it too: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid#What_is_a_hybrid_PDF_file? #foss #OpenSource

 

How do you like it ?

Just a friendly reminder example for all those people who only ever heard of GIMP and not wanting to let go of their Adobe products because they don't like GIMP. Krita deserves more wide spread attention. https://krita.org/en/features/

 

This blog post was posted two days before the discovery of the XZ utils backdoor. It shows the increasing popularity of Docker and NPM. Rust is not in this preview of their report, but all the crates used for compiling a Rust program bring in dependencies. Years ago, xkcd showed the problem already.

 

Their project blog is dormant but these changes look like worth sharing.

v2.0.2 Latest Notable enhancements and fixes Fixed the locale loading in the admin panel Added OAuth2.0 support for the Etherpad API. You can now log in into the Etherpad API with your admin user using OAuth2

v2.0.0

First of all I am very happy to announce the second major version of Etherpad. During the course of the last months we have updated all dependencies, cleaned up some of the old Etherpad code and converted most of the things to Typescript.

See the Enhancements part.

 

Some snippets from the article :

  1. Women accounted for 9.9% of the Linux kernel Git population.

  2. About 90% of Hollywood special effects rely on Linux.

  3. 0.44% of Steam users are playing on Linux.
