| synfulz | Hey all, I had a quick question..I bought an old sx260 to mess around with, I have Lubuntu on it right now (which runs smoothly for bare bones) and was wondering if Xubuntu would be a better setup? (sorry for the TLDR, couldn't find min specs on the site) | 00:27 |

| xubuntu816 | hello | 18:31 |
| aperson | something is preventing me from assigning super+space as a keyboard shortcut (I like to have my drop down terminal launched with that). Is there a way to figure out why I can't use this combination? | 18:39 |
| recon_lap | aperson: dont know, could something be using it already. | 18:40 |
| aperson | it's not bound to anything that I know of, I can use yakuquake fine with that keybind | 18:41 |
| aperson | it's just xfce's keyboard shortcuts that are having problems with it | 18:41 |

| NickRivers | Hello, I'm trying to open a specific folder from the bottom bar in 12.10, but it only opens the /home folder. How would I fix that? | 20:25 |
| kgb | panel preferences, items | 20:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | you made a launcher? should be thunar /path/to/folder | 20:26 |
| NickRivers | I switched to nautilus... coukld be the problem...? | 20:27 |
| NickRivers | No launcher made | 20:28 |
| kgb | yeah, but help doesn't have it :f http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/directorymenu | 20:31 |
| kgb | unless the plugin IS thunar and you need a different one for Nautilus, that might make sense | 20:33 |
| NickRivers | I made some changes to /user/.config/user-dirs.dirs to get the Templates folder to work, could it be that? | 20:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | xdg-preffered-apps might let you change to nautilus | 20:38 |
| NickRivers | Nautilus is selected, but it doesn't take me to the folder I choose | 20:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | I did say 'might' | 20:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | ;) | 20:45 |
| NickRivers | lol | 20:46 |
| NickRivers | Well, rebooting... Thanks | 20:53 |
