Is there a specific reason you do not make #fulldiskencryption the default option on your installer of the desktop 26.x version?

I could not believe it at first. Eventually had to waste some hours reinstalling. Otherwise huge #itsecurity hazard. Anyone who takes it can just read/manipulate all my files and potentially some chrome passwords etc.

[Hello #Linux J0] Presque trop facile... Le plus long a été de tout sauvegarder / recopier sur disque dur externe.

Bon ma carte wifi n'a pas suivi (Intel wireless 8265/8275 v.78). J'ai bien trouvé ça https://askubuntu.com/questions/1546725/intel-wireless-ac-8265-wifi-not-working-in-ubuntu-24-04-2 mais pas moyen d'écraser le fichier qui existe (répertoire lib/firmware en lecture seule). Une idée ? #askubuntu #ubuntu #help #aideubuntu

Update : carte wifi détectée au redémarrage ce matin ! :blobreach:

If anybody has enough reputation on askubuntu to write a reply (I have not) please consider to add the following annotation to https://askubuntu.com/a/1541428/2200540

The line

> find ${DESTDIR} -name thunderbolt\* -delete

is dangerous because it will delete all files starting with thunderbold if DESTDIR is unset or empty.

It should at least be put in quotes to make find complain about a missing file:

> find "${DESTDIR}" -name thunderbolt\* -delete

I have recently purchased the following laptop. Looks like Bitlocker is enabled .
Do I need to disable bitlocker and also disable secure boot to run live Ubuntu from USB and if it works well would like to wipe out windows. Please help.

Was there some TV show or comic book in the last 10 years that pimped #KaliLinux as a sexy OS to use?

I still poke my head into #AskUbuntu, and almost everyday there is some poor...user trying to install & configure it like a "normal" OS.

It breaks my brain & I feel that I am missing out on some meme.

Recently I needed to use #passkeys. Both #chrome / #chromium and #firefox on #linux need usb security key (or a phone with google services). I checked whether #bitwarden browser extensions would do. TBH, it wasn't clear from the docs if you can create a passkey with them.

I tried it, worked. While researching, I found this #askubuntu #stackoverflow question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1437604/does-ubuntu-support-passkeys-like-apple-google-and-microsoft-do. I answered, the way I'd like to find it. Moderators thought my "solution" is not good enough. What do you think?

@mcc Thanks. More than 10 years ago I found that building sufficient reputation to actually discuss things is toil (unless one asks very trivial questions in a new technology, of course - the more trivial the better).

They can keep what I wrote, but that's that. I've just deleted my profiles at #stackoverflow, #ServerFault, #AskUbuntu, Electrical Engineering and Meta Stack Exchange.

#AskUbuntu different APT messages for 'install' and 'autoremove' VS 'upgrade' https://askubuntu.com/q/1495458/1593967?sma=2

An meinem alten #iMac lässt sich übers Boot-Menü zwar der Stick auswählen, doch startet er dann scheinbar nicht korrekt, zeigt erst eine #Fehlermeldung an und bleibt dann schwarz.

~ Was kann ich tun?

PS. Die #Partitionierung etc. hat der Installationsassitent dank fehlender interner Festplatte selbst vorgenommen.

STACK OVER'THROW'

Similar to #youtube_dl we need a site just for mirroring #stackOverflow sites.

Now that #CloudGlare have hijacked #serverFault, unix, #stackExchange, #askUbuntu and the entire StackOverflow family of sites, CloudGlare are more able to learn the types of work people might be doing.

Just more anti-competitive #monopolisation of the dumpster fire we can #theInternet.

We can't bomb CloudGlare datacenters, so a distributed #selfHealing system is needed.

Welp. After some time spent reading up on the issue, I've signed up for the moderator strike on #StackExchange #AskUbuntu

Now, to try and decide what, if anything, to do with r/xfce on #reddit as other folks use it. #xfce
I'm open to input/feedback.

Ubuntu Desktop ist auch lustig. Kille ich die PID, treffe ich die App welche sich über den Fehler beschwert.

Wie macht man also mit der App einen Update?

Open letter to #StackOverflow.com, #askUbuntu, #serverfault, et al,

Not everyone runs your javascript code to remove your #cookiesDialog. Please add an 'background-color' alpha value of 0.9 so people can see through it, or use a "CSS close button trick".

Having to 'Inspect Element' > 'Delete Node' to remove the #HTML element is a bother.

As an aside, non-invasive and non-predatory adverts are fine.

Thanks

There's a bit of confusion among the gurus in #AskUbuntu and #UbuntuForums about how the esm repos have changed with the replacement of Ubuntu Advantage by Ubuntu Pro.

As far as I can tell after decrypting the marketing-speak, it seems to look like this AskUbuntu answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/1453618/19626

However, correction or confirmation from somebody inside who actually knows the product would be welcome.

A long day of help from others at #AskUbuntu and hacking at the problem.

Happy to report that dual Asus monitors with Intel graphic drivers is working on #Ubuntu.

From #Windows to #Linux

Still more #Asus issues; this time with monitors. On #AskUbuntu I share that my Asus monitors are not being detected by Ubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1446585/asus-va249-he-monitors-on-asus-prime-z690-p-d4-motherboard).

It seems there aren't any drivers.

😩

Just realised I have more answers than questions, on both #StackOverflow and #AskUbuntu! Am I helpful or what 😇
