  • Ubuntu Linux impacted by decade-old 'needrestart' flaw that gives root

  • Why is no one talking about how unproductive it is to have to verify every "hallucination" ChatGPT gives you?

    Jump

  • The reason why string[5] = '5' doesn't work is that strings in Python are immutable (cannot be changed). By doing list(string) you are actually creating a new list with the contents of the string and then modifying the list.

    I wonder if ChatGPT explains this or just tells you to do this... as this works but can be quite inefficient.

    To me this highlights the danger with using AI... sure you can complete a task, but you may not understand why or learn important concepts.

  • Path objects also override the / operator to join paths

    This is both cool and gross... gives me C++ vibes (operator overloading abuse).

  • Android "Password Store" client for pass discontinued

    Jump

  • I'm not sure. As long as it keeps working, I'll probably keep using it until a viable alternative appears. I use my laptop more than my phone, so I don't actually need passwords on my phone as often.

  • Ok guys, who games on an IoT version of Ubuntu?

    Jump

  • I think the "Ubuntu Core 22" means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.

    If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses core22 as its base.

  • After upgrading from Ubuntu Jellyfish to Numbat, my desktop seems broken? Super key doesn't open menu, dark theme/settings doesn't work. How can I fix this?

    Jump

  • It looks like you are running XFCE instead of GNOME (the normal Ubuntu desktop). I'm not sure how that happened... but you an always just install another desktop.

    For instance, you can try to make sure you have the ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop-minimal metapackage installed:

     
        
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop-minimal

    After that, the login manager should allow you to select the Ubuntu session rather than the XFCE one.

  • Yes, based on the diagrams on their blog, it looks like this only impacts Snaps.

  • Ubuntu 24.10 to Introduce User-Controlled Permissions Prompts

    Jump

  • From the Discourse Blog:

    The Linux desktop provides XDG Desktop Portals as a standardised way for applications to access resources that are outside of the sandbox. Applications that have been updated to use XDG Desktop Portals will continue to use them. Prompting is not intended to replace XDG Desktop Portals but to complement them by providing the desktop an alternative way to ask the user for permission. Either when an application has not been updated to use XDG Desktop Portals, or when it makes access requests not covered by XDG Desktop Portals.

    Since prompting works at the syscall level, it does not require an application’s awareness or cooperation to work and extends the set of applications that can be run inside of a sandbox, allowing for a safer desktop. It is designed to enable desktop applications to take full advantage of snap packaging that might otherwise require classic confinement.

    So this looks like it complements and not replaces the XDG Desktop Portals, especially for applications that have not implemented the Portals. It allows you to still run those applications in confinement while providing some more granular access controls.

  • Switching to Timeshift (LM)

    Jump

  • From what I can tell, Pop!_OS does not ship their own version of timeshift. Instead, it comes directly from Ubuntu. So if there is a change in maintainers, it should be reported to Ubuntu:

  • Bringing attention to a music player and two eBook readers for Android

    Jump

  • I used to use VLC for music, but these days I use Symphony to play local files on my phone. VLC tended to struggle when scanning or indexing large folders (which it did all the time...), while Symphony is a bit better at that. That said, I still use VLC for video and for casting things from my DLNA server (VLC supports Chromecast).

    For ebooks, I've used Librera FD and that has been mostly OK. I'll checkout the two you mentioned though. Thanks!
