@Emad-R said in Ubuntu Updates to 19.10:

Phoronix made benchmark and Debian was much better than it, it just came bloated and bloated.

If I wanted to use Debian for Desktops or Laptops I started to use their unofficial images (non-free) that includes proprietary firmware to make a better out of the box experience.

@Emad-R It's all great having numbers and visual aid to show results but will you really notice the difference when using Ubuntu compare Debian, assuming you are using the same desktop environment?

I know if an NTFS system was not properly shutdown, you end up only able to mount as read-only.

I keep noticing that statement around a lot in response to certain desktop environment layouts. My first time noticing it was with Windows 8, GNOME3 and maybe Unity back in the days.

With Windows 8, I understand the annoyances with not having a start menu button. But the one thing Windows 8 did for me was forcing me to start using keyboard shortcuts and to search for what I'm looking for. And I still put that in practice even with today's desktop environments. But that's not always the case for other users, so I understand that.

So I'm curious about what your opinion when you see or hear someone say that the desktop environment just wasn't designed with mouse in mind?

Is it an inconvenience using a mouse on certain desktops?
Is it because you have to click more than you want to in order to find what you are looking for?
Is it because the spacing is inefficient, like having to move the mouse across the screen to access certain items?

There's a new option when you click on the Actions button to uninstall Agent. I'm on 0.4.3-f. Its not available using the Group Action button.

Edit: I'm on 0.4.3-o and it's available from Group Action button.

@dbeato said in Windows Offline files:

I disable Windows Offline Files for that reason, it is a pain to deal with and causes more problems than anything else. But yeah, even if it was locked out and the computer went to sleep it will mark it as offline since the computer detected a change on the network connectivity.

^^This. I have been disabling offline files for 15+ years. It never works the way people expect. #chasingghosts

It’s been about two years for me too since moving away from Windows Offline Files to Nextcloud/OneDrive.

I'm still trying to figure out how to automate the remover of those hidden items, so I've been renaming the root folders and setting the attributes to hidden and system.

Rename-Item "$UserProfile\$Folder" "$UserProfile\$FolderOld" -Force
$(Get-Item $UserProfile\$FolderOld).Attributes = "Hidden","System"

Windows lets you do that? As the user?

Do you then create a new empty documents folder? Or are you creating a symlink or something like I am doing?

For new users, I do something like this.

$_oUserProfile = $env:USERPROFILE

Move-Item "$_oUserProfile\Documents" "$_oUserProfile\Nextcloud\Documents" -Force

# Rename-Item and Hide the folder if Move-Item doesn't move the Folder
Rename-Item "$_oUserProfile\Documents" "$_oUserProfile\Documents_Old"
$(Get-Item "$_oUserProfile\Documents_Old").Attributes = "Hidden","System"

# Then I create the link
New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "$_oUserProfile\Documents" -Value "$_oUserProfile\Nextcloud\Documents"

If this was a previous nextcloud user, I skip the Move-Item and just rename the folder and hide it. Then create the link.

Here's what I found on https://www.c-rieger.de/nextcloud-installation-guide-debian-9-10/#c04
Redis configuration

sed -i "s/port 6379/port 0/" /etc/redis/redis.conf
sed -i s/\#\ unixsocket/\unixsocket/g /etc/redis/redis.conf

sed -i "s/# maxclients 10000/maxclients 512/" /etc/redis/redis.conf
usermod -aG redis www-data

Nextcloud configuration for Redis

'redis' => 
array (
'host' => '/var/run/redis/redis-server.sock',
# ATTENTION if you operate on Debian 9.x:
# 'host' => '/var/run/redis/redis.sock',
'port' => 0,
'timeout' => 0.0,

@JaredBusch said in Updating plex on Fedora:

@black3dynamite I don't like the clear. I hate shit that nukes my scroll history. Obviously as something meant to be automated, that should not even matter.

Just a personal preference.

So many trial by error creating the script, I added the clear command just for convenience.

@JaredBusch said in It's been a while...:

I have always assumed that means there are some, likely, fringe issues that are just common enough that they don't want to mark it stable yet for the upgrades.

We moved to Beta to get the "current" releases. I can't follow what is supposed to be current or beta anymore, because beta only seems to get what has been publicly announced as released and released seems to never get it.

Upgrading manually is an option. Especially if your data folder is located outside the nextcloud folder.
