  • How do I set the default program?

    9 answers



How can I change the default applications from the command line (specifically from a script) in Ubuntu 18.04?



The link below describes setting the default applications from the GUI, and also by editing ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. However, it appears mimeapps.list has been moved or is no longer present in Ubuntu 18.04.



See, e.g.,

            What makes Checkinstall packages not suitable for distribution?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am planning to have multiple servers running with the same packages. And as a solution to not compile packages individually on each server, I want to use checkinstall to generate .deb and then distribute it via private repository. However, in the linked guide it says that it is not designed to produce packages suitable for distribution My questions are: What is different about this packaging, that makes it not suitable for distribution? Or what should be in the package, to make it suitable? Could there be any issues with using checkinstall and distributing packages to ~20 servers? Any advice or links where I can find out more appreciated. Thanks! apt package-management packaging checkinstall share | improve this question asked Feb 6 at 13:56 Ilya 123 5 add a comment  |  up vote 2 down vote favorite I am planning to have multiple servers runni...
