Ubuntu 24.04 My First Week Impression

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS does not have the feel of a Long Term Support LTS product. I have used Ubuntu since 5.10 and other linux distributions like Arch and Fedora. My daily driver is Ubuntu. In fact I have used the Ubuntu LTS on my desktop exclusively since 10.04.

I can't authenticate Gmail on Evolution Mail. I find Thunderbird slow to download my emails. So yes I can make Gmail work with Thunderbird but not Evolution.

Clementine the music application has crashed twice. On both occasions Ubuntu prompted me to send a crash report. At least the crash reporting works.

Ubuntu 24.04 is not an improvement on 22.04. My recommendation is stay with Ubuntu 22.04.

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.
