Using Pop Shell on other GNOME Desktops

For Ubuntu-Based Distros

Refer: https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/

In order to build Pop Shell from source, we'll first need to install the build dependencies and git to clone the repository:

sudo apt install git node-typescript make

Note: these instructions assume an Ubuntu-based distro; other distributions (see examples below) will use different package managers, and may have different package names.

Next we'll clone the repository using this command:

git clone https://github.com/pop-os/shell.git

Now we'll enter the directory for Pop Shell (called "shell") and build the package:

cd shell
make local-install

Panasonic Cordless Phone Wrong Time Zone

Refer: https://eng-au.faq.panasonic.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43080/~/troubleshooting---i-set-my-time-on-my-cordless-phone-and-when-someone-calls-me

TROUBLESHOOTING - I set my time on my cordless phone and when someone calls me the time changes to the wrong time. How do I stop this?

What is happening is by default your phone uses what is known as the Caller ID information to obtain the time. So when someone calls you your phone, it is being given the time that is being used by the phone exchange of the phone provider.

If you wish to avoid this from happening you need to change the time settings in your phone from "Caller ID" to "manual".

Go to Menu->Time Settings->Time Adjust. Change from Caller ID to Manual.
