@dessert Hello

dessert

@αғsнιη hi! :)

αғsнιη

I have a question about your answers (not all I think)

:D

Why do you like to add Packages images beside their name?

dessert

@αғsнιη I use e.g. [xdotool ![Install xdotool](https://hostmar.co/software-small)](http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/xdotool) to create an AptURL link so that users can install the package with a single click.

guess I took that from here:

A: Is it possible to install a .deb from a URL?

The quickest method is like this. Click to start installing shutter . URLs used for clicking on the name: http://packages.ubuntu.com/shutter ... and for the click on the icon: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/shutter And yes you need Ubuntu Software Center to finish the installation of a .DEB. Othe...

αғsнιη

ahh, so there was something behind that (which I don't like it when I see in answers, because it breaks into three lines)

🤣

on mobile view only

dessert

@αғsнιη Oh, wow – I never use this view, so I didn’t notice. Would you add a bug report on Ask Ubuntu Meta?

@αғsнιη That’s the meta post which shows how to do it!

Q: How to post links that integrate with the Software Center?

There are some posts with nice Software Center icons and links to software installation via apt. How to do that?

support apturl

αғsнιη

08:53

I think they willl not support me on that

so I feel let it be as it is

thanks, and sorry I trouble you

dessert

09:07

@αғsнιη nothing wrong in asking – I’ll write the meta post myself then, it’s someting people should know about when even the canonical post shows this.

Shipping to Germany must be pretty expensive

might be easier yes

but shipping should be far below that let me check

standard DHL worldwide is ok for sending private shipments up to 2 Kg

Q: Removed Python 3 on 18.04, how can I fix my system?

After I removed the Python 3 package from my Ubuntu 18.04, I also lost the terminal, software centre and some other useful applications. What do I need to do now?

package-management python3

they are on 17.04

tricky problem...

Videonauth

17.04 was requiring in most cases 3.5 but still had 2.7 minimal installed for some packages

17.10 had only 3.5 installed by default but some exotic packed instelled 2.7 too as dependencies

18.04 relys now solely on 3.6.2

repairing this is a major pain in the backside

to be honest IMHO it is easier to do a fresh install insted of repairing

Rinzwind

15:32

@Zanna nope. reinstall. problem solved

Videonauth

my thought exactly

Zanna

that's a boring solution though

Rinzwind

so? getting a working system is more important :=)

Videonauth

I expressed my concerns about trying a fix tho

without working python the OP might not even be able to run a version upgrade

so he would have first to fix python on his EOL system which is tricky to impossible at best

then run the update from 17.04 to 17.10 where not unity is the primary anymore and which relys on wayland by dafault, and then to 18.04 which again uses by default x11 for the desktop and wayland for the greeter

estimated time for all around if the OP is knowing what to do 2-3 hours at best

fresh install ~ 30-45 minutes

Conclusion: Fresh install

Best GDPR joke I've seen yet.

Takkat

@RobotHumans yeah that is the bitter truth :D

Videonauth

have you seen the german version of the gpdr ?

this is ridiculous

RobotHumans

I'm waiting for 2 things. 1 blackout. 2 at least in the american legal system, a change of venue is allowed. So, basically, if you don't like how a business does business, then don't do business with them. Gambling websites have used "it only matters where the server is" for years. So, there's a legal precedent to tell any lawsuit based on GDPR to just shove off. "We'll try it in the states. By the way, that's not our law. See you later." sort of thing.

I noticed they already started going after FB and GOOG. It's common knowledge they make their money on PII harvesting, and if you don't know that, you're fooling yourself.

China does the same thing with copyright law. "Yeah, we don't care. Not our law."

It might have been true in the past, but all of my German colleagues have a better sense of humour then most Americans.
