Ubuntu 22.04.1 Update Plus

Ubuntu completed its first point update. New versions of the firefox browser and of course thunderbird mail application. The much maligned firefox snap version from Ubuntu is still unusable as far as I am concerned. I have the mozilla version of firefox which means I downloaded and installed it my self. I am happy with it.

Mina, Sofia, Victoria and Joshua spent a first vacation here in the Philippines. So happy to see them again.

I have a small accident coming down the stairs. I didn't know about the water puddle downstairs and I slipped and sprained my ankle. I spent the next three weeks nursing my swollen left foot.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.
