Re: problem with cron on Kubuntu 22.04
If I had to hazard a guess, it has something to do with systemd (the usual suspect) What does `|sudo systemctl status cron` return? If that shows the service being disabled or stopped, you'll of course need to run `||sudo systemctl enable cron` to get it going at every boot and |`|sudo systemctl start cron||` to start it immediately |On 07-Feb-24 11:23, Shlomo Solomon wrote: No - that did not change anything and, in any case, as I wrote, that exact line (including root) works on another Kubuntu 22.04 machine.

Introduction
Hi all, sorry if I failed to do this earlier - I thought I had already introduced myself, but based on a few recent conversations in seems that I likely did not. I'm Mark Fuller (fuller or mefuller most places), an Oleh Hadash (May 2021) from the US via way of Germany. I presently work as a postdoc at the Technion doing research on combustion and fuel chemistry. I've primarily been an experimentalist, but have gotten much more into software development and scientific computing having long been the only guy in the lab who used Linux or could do data analysis with more automation that copy-pasting in Excel. I'm a long-time Linux user and FOSS enthusiast (first used Debian at university in 2006) and I have been part of the Fedora Project since 2010 where I have done some translations (German), and am just now getting into packaging. I'm very much looking to continue drifting professionally and learn/apply more lessons about good development practices to the scientific software to which I contribute, since much of it is pretty rough around the edges.

Re: Telegram - locale error
Well, on the topic of fun, I have been using Nheko Reborn as my desktop client for Matrix chat and currently have an account with Element One to bridge my WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram all to the same account - being able to have one window with all my chats on the desktop has been great. I can't really comment on this particular problem, except that I have had some problems on Fedora/KDE with Flatpaks and locale settings in the past (keyboard layout not swapping in the app), which I solved by going to an RPM for install instead. In that particular case it was Slack, so I'm hoping to have it rolled into Matrix as well soon enough... Mark E.
