Christian Mollekopf did a great presentation about the Kube mail program back in early February 2017 at the Fosdem conference in Brussels. Unfortunately the audio was seriously flawed and really hard for me to listen to. The stereo audio track had the voice on the left hand side with annoying room noise on the right …
This is just a temporary hiccup towards the end of November 2017 but for the last week, I have not been willing to reboot because the kwin-x11 packages in Kubuntu-CI/stable were in an inconsistent state. Trying to update or reinstall this package would result in the below error… The following packages have unmet dependencies: kwin-x11 …
I like to create a lxdbr0 bridge on my laptop so I can easily deploy LXD containers and, as I treat my laptop like a workstation, I hardly ever move it so I can use an ethernet connection instead of wifi for full gigabit local area network speeds. Setting up a bridge to a wifi …
It’s been two weeks since I updated my stock Ubuntu install from artful (17.10) to bionic (alpha 18.04) and so far there have not been any serious problems. I think kded (a startup daemon) was failing a few days ago and my network was dropping out when I closed my laptop lid (set to “no …
I would like to use the Neon Plasma packages but they are stuck with an old 16.04 xenial foundation which may be stable but the surrounding OS is far too stale for my liking. I will gladly swap so-called stability for the latest new and shiny features any day and if *buntu ever provide some …
If you have to do a fresh install and want to start from the standard Ubuntu Desktop (using Unity on zesty) as a base and then add KDE Neon (user, dev/stable or dev/unstable) then this hint may help. Assuming you have a /etc/apt/sources.list something like this below, where “zesty” could be artful (17.10) or bionic …
When installing or upgrading to a lightweight zesty (17.04) ubuntu server I use this /etc/apt/sources.list example below which I manage via the edpkg alias from the NetServa SH (shell scripts) Githb repo. Note: this still applies to the later artful and bionic releases, just ctrl-\ search and replace “zesty” for “artful” or “bionic” in the …
This is a brief outline of how to take advantage of using only Sieve scripts to manage spam via Spamprobe and Dovecot IMAP services on a Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 server. In my case I use separate UID:GIDs for each virtual domain (but not for each user) and a custom path to each mailbox so the …
