can anyone recommend a lightweight gmail or email client for linux
foodSurprise 2017-03-03 16:02:37
something that would be worth running outside of a browser

foodSurprise, I use Thunderbird. It's not particularly lightweight, but I like it.
basil1x 2017-03-03 16:13:20
It's already installed in Ubuntu.
foodSurprise 2017-03-03 16:15:18
im looking at clawsmail vs syphleed
foodSurprise 2017-03-03 16:15:32
thunderbird isn't lightweight enough

are the updates offered in the software center the same ones as in the update manager?
foodSurprise 2017-03-03 16:20:19
shouldn't they both use apt-get update
foodSurprise 2017-03-03 16:20:25
and upgrade
basil1x 2017-03-03 16:20:52
They should be exactly the same.
basil1x 2017-03-03 16:21:06
apt. apt-get is old and crusty

I have the MATE DE on this install of Ubuntu. I cannot find an update manager.
Old_Dog 2017-03-03 16:29:22
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 with MATE. Can someone tell me how to find the update manager?
basil1x 2017-03-03 16:30:29
You can always install the synaptic package manager. I rather like it.
Old_Dog 2017-03-03 16:30:50
I guess I found it. Software Updater. hmmm thanks

so every time I boot I have to "run sudo mount -a" in order to get to connect to my NFS shares because otherwise it gives me the "so every time I boot I have to run sudo" error. How would you go about fixing this? Do I need to change permissions for /mnt/ (where the the shares are mounted)?

I just booted up an old ubuntu machine that I hadn't used for a year. It won't connect to any encrypted wireless hotspot, but unencrypted is fine. This wasn't an issue last time I used it. Any ideas?
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:44:39
it's "Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"
aelsilmare 2017-03-03 16:44:44
what encryption? WEP? WPA?
dooglus 2017-03-03 16:44:51
WPA2 personal
