  1. Re: Best way to virtualize Thunderbird/mail client

    I use the remote-X method and don't have performance issues. Here's my script:

    $ more ~/bin/thunderbird.sh

    #!/bin/bash

    Re: Error while using wall command

    It is unsupported. Asking for help with unsupported versions is against forum standards. I think they say "it dilutes the efforts of volunteers". It is a waste of your time and ours.

    Re: Error while using wall command

    Tested on 24.04 (ssh) and 20.04 (local). No issue. Get on a supported release. Working on non-supported stuff makes no sense.

    Re: Error while using wall command

    Support for 23.04 ended in January.
    Move to a supported release ASAP. You are months out of date and dangerous. Stick with LTS releases and assume they have 3 yrs of support from the release date,...

    Re: Sorting Files Using Terminal

    Yes.
    I'd probably just use EasyTag to tag the files with ID3 headers, then have it create and move the files based on those tags. I've never done this myself, so be certain you make backups of...

    Re: Error while using wall command

    Uh ... which Ubuntu release? Every few years, things, especially security settings change.

    BTW, I haven't see wall used anywhere since the mid-1990s, so know about it, but also know that the...

    Re: SSH tunneling problem

    I do port translation on the router, not the VM host. My VMs have their own LAN IPs.

    Also, I use non-standard ports for WAN-side ssh connections. They do get found, but instead of 10,000...

    [kubuntu] Re: Detention and best practises - Advices

    I cannot really tell what the question was, Detention and best practises - Advices doesn't really fit. Perhaps Detection was the intended word?

    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu 24.04: Global search doesn't work

    There are lots of search tools for Unix systems.

    If you know part of the filename and only want to search on that, use locate. This is a CLI tool. I never remember the package name and it has...

    Re: 24.04 LTS - Not to shabby!

    Actually, installing .deb files directly has been a way to end up in APT-Jail for a long time. It was odd when that didn't happen, IME.

    Deb files will start working with 24.04 as more developers...

    Re: static ip

    Don't forget chattr, for when files are being changed and you don't want that. For a few years right after resolvconf was introduced, I'd delete the symlink for /etc/resolv.conf, create a new file...

    Re: 24.04 LTS - Not to shabby!

    I could be wrong, but since nobody else has tried to answer, the issue is that in other releases, installing a .deb file COULD be accomplished using the built-in GUI and in 24.04, that isn't working....

    apt will do the same thing, just without any GUI.
