• Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

  I agree, but I think that model of GPG is not how it's used any more. I think nowadays people upload a one-shot CI key, which is used to sign builds. So you're basically saying "The usual machine built this". Which is good information, don't get me wrong, but it's much less secure than "John was logged into his laptop and entered the password for the key that signed this" So, you're right, that GPG verifies... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  You can use https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/, but that's no official Mozilla repository. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  As a user of the PPA packages (https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), now I'm confused. Are these the same packages? Should I switch? I'd have appreciated at least a mention in the article. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try Out Mozilla's .deb Package

  There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done. I think I used this guide: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 Though what that doesn't tell you is that the snap... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Fedora Workstation 39

  Https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa A quick google will find plenty of sites telling you how to adjust the package versioning priorities to keep the MozillaTeam version of FF preferred over the crappy snap one. I still use Ubuntu desktop as my daily driver and server OS, and we have zero snaps installed on any of our systems. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Mozilla treats Debian devotees to the raw taste of Firefox Nightly

  They do offer the beta channel[1], if that's not too edgy. 1: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• GitHub and Developer Ecosystem Control

  On the other hand you may find large ecosystems revolving around their own dedicated hosting. Gnome and KDE both have their own self-hosted GitLab offerings. For Ubuntu related projects there's Launchpad. Finally as has already been mentioned before GNU Savannah for GNU/FLOSS type projects. That said, having several logins to contribute is not quite ideal. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Far Manager: files and archives in Windows

  On ubuntu this seems to be official (?) ppa: https://launchpad.net/~far2l-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Make sure "far2l-gui" is installed. On ArchLinux there's package in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/far2l-git (I maintain it). Don't know details other distros. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• What is the proper way to install?

  If you're using an Ubuntu based distro, then there is a PPA for both stable and latest nightly versions of Neovim. Shell Https://launchpad.net/~neovim-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/stable Https://launchpad.net/~neovim-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/unstable Then you will be able to install Neovim with apt install neovim.

• A large crash spike affecting Firefox users on Linux

  I use the Firefox from the Ubuntu Mozilla Team's PPA and I haven't seen any crashes at all. https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines

  Turns out it was longer ago than I thought— way back in the Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 days: https://launchpad.net/~mikepurvis/+archive/ubuntu/dpkg. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Let's Make Sure GitHub Doesn't Become the Only Option

  There's a number of places out there, some of which also support alternatives to Git itself.

  PPAs are available for both stable (0.7.x)[1] and unstable (this 0.9)[2] versions. I use the latter and it has worked well for me. 1. https://launchpad.net/~neovim-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/stable. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• How Python virtual environments work

  Quite typical: Linux Mint, managed by apt with a third party repository [1]. On Mac I simply use the official installers from python.org. [1] https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Cheerp 3.0: The most advanced C++ compiler for the Web now permissively licensed

  > You can download Cheerp here. For Debian/Ubuntu, consider using our PPA > https://launchpad.net/~leaningtech-dev/+archive/ubuntu/cheerp-ppa They recommend using an Ubuntu PPA with Debian? That's... Definitely a bold strategy. Let's hope it works out for them. (I mean, given that they themselves suggest doing so, I take it that's the PPA has been properly tested on Debian, and that they'll answer support requests... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• 22.04.2 LTS

  Well, I think /u/mikechant is correct that the whole release bump has more to do with availability of the ISO, than a whole slew of updates for installed systems. 22.04.2 will have 5.19 as the default kernel for install and that's the big one. In the past, there've been updates to various gnome components, but I don't know if they're slated for the x.2 release. There's nothing in the phased-update pipleline so... Source: about 1 year ago

• Fastest Linux Distro? 2023

• Ubuntu's priorities are garbage

  5) In you particular case, this might turn out to be a bug, so please open one on launchpad.net, so developers can investigate and hopefully fix it. Even though the "bug" should be fixed by Nvidia, I find the open source community to be more responsive. Let's make an analogy. Say you have an issue with a printer driver on Windows, wouldn't you first seek help from the printer manufacturer? In any case, send me the... Source: over 1 year ago
