I just have a comment on what upstream did for 3.26.3.1. They reverted two commits, which they see as behavioural changes in a stable release, and that makes sense upstream. Revert "files-view: Remove new empty folder name suggestion"

AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem support for GNOME Shell

2017-05-17 Thread Amr Ibrahim

Hallo, As an Ubuntu user since 2010, the first thing I do after installing a new Ubuntu is to setup my three email accounts (Gmail, Outlook and another IMAP) in Thunderbird. I prefer to have one interface for my different accounts. I never (rarely) use web mail. Web mail is slower and every

Does GNOME Software run lintian against third-party debs before installing them?

2016-04-02 Thread Amr Ibrahim
Hello everyone, Does GNOME Software run lintian against third-party debs before installing them? I think Ubuntu Software Center used to do that. Running lintian warns users from installing sloppy debs and push third-parties to clean their Debian packaging. Thanks, Amr -- ubuntu-desktop

I disagree with your reasoning. It's preventing users who have console access from shutting down the machine that will result in data loss, as they will simply fallback to using the power button or the magic sysrq key. If the user does not have console access, then it's reasonable that they
