Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

If you update a laptop from Ubuntu 22.04.3 to 24.04.1 and the screen is blank with an 'x' cursor after login, do this:

  1. control+alt+F1 to go to a tty and login, then:
  2. sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-session

Further, if #thunderbird doesn't launch, remove the snap installation and install de deb package directly from mozilla (he --purge is so that it doesn't generate adn store a ~4 GB copy of the install). First, do:

$ sudo snap remove --purge thunderbird
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
$ sudo apt update

Then paste this below into a file ( /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozillateamppa-thunderbird ) to tell the apt system that you prefer mozilla's over any other package:

Package: thunderbird*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001

... and install:
$ sudo apt install thunderbird

The same can be done for firefox if you'd rather skip the snap package.

#ubuntu #mozilla #thunderbird #firefox #linux

Or switch to any rolling-release distro which won't have major updates to begin with.
