| craigbass76 | I've got Window buttons on a panel. Is there any way to drag these windows around so that they're in a different order? | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| xangua | yes, but you need to change the windows list plugin settings | 02:07 |
| craigbass76 | Is this plugin already installed? | 02:14 |
| xangua | it's the windows list | 02:14 |
| xangua | right clic, properties | 02:14 |
| craigbass76 | xangua, that was stupid... :P | 02:15 |
| craigbass76 | Thanks for showing me. | 02:15 |
| craigbass76 | Definitely a facepalm moment... | 02:15 |
| gnumbknuts | Thunar "delete" function , how can I disable it from both the right-click and the delete key ? | 05:39 |
| max12345 | hello, should I/do I have to make a backup before upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10? | 09:46 |
| elfy | max12345: I would. I'd also think about whether I wanted to install something that goes EOL in 3 months | 09:54 |
| max12345 | ok then I'll just wait. Thanks elfy ! | 09:55 |
| elfy | max12345: well you've the option of upgrading 14.10 now and then to 15.04 in a month, or the next LTS straight upgrade route is 16.04 | 09:56 |
| elfy | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS gives you an idea of how the releases overlap | 09:58 |
| elfy | also bear in mind that while Ubuntu support for 5 years typically, we don't | 09:59 |
| max12345 | I already had the case of something not updating because LTS that would have needed to update so I'm ok with shorter support cycles | 10:02 |
| elfy | ok | 10:02 |
| elfy | just giving you the info where I can :) | 10:03 |
| max12345 | yes I appreciate it :) | 10:03 |
| tiyteeze | hey | 16:16 |
| tiyteeze | need help | 16:16 |
| andyfied | i think that person needed help | 20:31 |

| andyfied | and now we will never know what is issue was :( | 20:38 |
| knome | it's their loss really | 20:38 |
| andyfied | yeah, i don't care | 20:39 |
| xubuntu35w | I'm on Xubuntu 14.10. I'm installing Dropbox and there are two downloads available: 1)Ubuntu (deb) 2)Debian (deb). I was going to choose #2. Is that the way to go or could I choose either or should I choose #1? | 22:23 |
| genii | If you're running an OS whose last 5 letters are buntu then choose 1 | 22:24 |
| xubuntu35w | OK. Since it's Xu-buntu then it's #1. But on my other computer I chose the Debian and it seems to work properly. Should I uninstall it and choose the Ubuntu deb? | 22:26 |
| Unit193 | You can also install nautilus-dropbox, it installs dropbox and you don't even need nautilus. | 22:29 |
| xubuntu35w | Thx but I'm a newbie and I'd really rather just install it from one of these files. I guess if the other Dropbox is working okay (installed via the Debian file) I should leave well enough alone then, huh? | 22:30 |
| knome | xubuntu35w, installing a package from the repositories is actually easier and better than to install from those packages | 22:31 |
| xubuntu35w | Does the Unbuntu Software Center have Dropbox? | 22:32 |
| xubuntu35w | Ah, it does. | 22:33 |
| Unit193 | There's even a plugin for thunar. | 22:34 |
| xubuntu35w | So I should just leave the Dropbox (that I think I installed via the Debian deb, not the Ubuntu deb like I should have) on the other computer and install this Dropbox via the Ubuntu Software Center? | 22:34 |
| knome | that's the recommended whenever possible | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | Sure, that'l do. | 22:35 |
| knome | *recommended way | 22:35 |
| xubuntu35w | Can I even uninstall Dropbox? | 22:35 |
| knome | the things you install from the software center are always uninstallable from the software center | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | If you installed it from a 'deb' file, yes. | 22:36 |
| xubuntu35w | But I didn't install the first Dropbox from the Software Center. I used a Gdebi installer. | 22:36 |
| xubuntu35w | So uninstall it from Synaptic Package Manager then? | 22:37 |
| xubuntu35w | Or should I just leave it since it seems to be working okay? | 22:38 |
| gnumbknuts | Thunar: "Disk Image Mounter" right-click menu option , What is the syntax used to execute this operation ? I would like to us it in a bash script . | 22:50 |
| gnumbknuts | Conversely, when I execute: sudo mount -v -t iso9660 -o loop xubuntu-daily.iso mnt , mount gives a warning: "xubuntu-daily.iso is already associated with /dev/loop0 " . Thunar then shows the iso being mounted twice. | 23:11 |
| gnumbknuts | BTW... what is the syntax to u(n)mount that iso ? | 23:13 |
| clouseau_ | I just removed Dropbox from my computer from the Synaptic Package Manager (I'm running xubuntu 14.10). When I put 'dropbox' in the terminal it says: 'dropbox is not currently installed.' And yet, Dropbox is still there and is working and syncing with my other computer. How is this possible? | 23:39 |
| knome | clouseau_, didn't you say you didn't install dropbox via synaptic? | 23:40 |
| clouseau_ | Yeah. I installed it from a .dev file with Gdebi installer. | 23:40 |
| clouseau_ | deb file | 23:40 |
| Unit193 | dpkg -S `which dropbox` | 23:41 |
| clouseau_ | What do you mean? | 23:41 |
| clouseau_ | After I removed Dropbox from Synaptic, I removed the Dropbox folder from and when I did Dropbox gave me a pop-up saying do you want to "re-link"? I said okay and signed in but there's nothing on the computer so how is it working? | 23:43 |
| knome | clouseau_, try running the command Unit193 pasted in a terminal | 23:44 |
| clouseau_ | Oh, I didn't realize that was a command. OKay. | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | There's also likely a ~/.dropbox/ and maybe ~/.dropbox-dist/ dirs. | 23:45 |
| clouseau_ | There's no apostrophes in that command, right? So it's: dpkg -S which dropbox ? | 23:46 |
| knome | backticks ` | 23:46 |
| clouseau_ | ok | 23:48 |
| clouseau_ | Here's what it said: dpkg-query: error: --search needs at least one file name pattern argument Use --help for help about querying packages. | 23:49 |
| clouseau_ | You know, can I just add the Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center or is that overkill? | 23:49 |
| clouseau_ | I'm feeling like I'm getting in over my head here. | 23:50 |
| clouseau_ | When I put "dropbox" in the Catfish File Finder (under File System) a ton of stuff comes up. | 23:53 |
| clouseau_ | Think I should just leave it be. It's working. Or should I add Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center? | 23:54 |
