[01:46] 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? [02:07] yes, but you need to change the windows list plugin settings [02:14] Is this plugin already installed? [02:14] it's the windows list [02:14] right clic, properties [02:15] xangua, that was stupid... :P [02:15] Thanks for showing me. [02:15] Definitely a facepalm moment... [05:39] Thunar "delete" function , how can I disable it from both the right-click and the delete key ? [09:46] hello, should I/do I have to make a backup before upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10? [09:54] max12345: I would. I'd also think about whether I wanted to install something that goes EOL in 3 months [09:55] ok then I'll just wait. Thanks elfy ! [09:56] 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 [09:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS gives you an idea of how the releases overlap [09:59] also bear in mind that while Ubuntu support for 5 years typically, we don't [10:02] 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] ok [10:03] just giving you the info where I can :) [10:03] yes I appreciate it :) [16:16] hey [16:16] need help [20:31] i think that person needed help [20:35] andyfied: Left half a minute later though. [20:38] and now we will never know what is issue was :( [20:38] it's their loss really [20:39] yeah, i don't care [22:23] 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? [22:24] If you're running an OS whose last 5 letters are buntu then choose 1 [22:26] 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? [22:29] You can also install nautilus-dropbox, it installs dropbox and you don't even need nautilus. [22:30] 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? [22:31] xubuntu35w, installing a package from the repositories is actually easier and better than to install from those packages [22:32] Does the Unbuntu Software Center have Dropbox? [22:33] Ah, it does. [22:34] There's even a plugin for thunar. [22:34] 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? [22:35] that's the recommended whenever possible [22:35] Sure, that'l do. [22:35] *recommended way [22:35] Can I even uninstall Dropbox? [22:35] the things you install from the software center are always uninstallable from the software center [22:36] If you installed it from a 'deb' file, yes. [22:36] But I didn't install the first Dropbox from the Software Center. I used a Gdebi installer. [22:37] So uninstall it from Synaptic Package Manager then? [22:38] Or should I just leave it since it seems to be working okay? [22:50] 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 . [23:11] 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. [23:13] BTW... what is the syntax to u(n)mount that iso ? [23:39] 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? [23:40] clouseau_, didn't you say you didn't install dropbox via synaptic? [23:40] Yeah. I installed it from a .dev file with Gdebi installer. [23:40] deb file [23:41] dpkg -S `which dropbox` [23:41] What do you mean? [23:43] 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? [23:44] clouseau_, try running the command Unit193 pasted in a terminal [23:45] Oh, I didn't realize that was a command. OKay. [23:45] There's also likely a ~/.dropbox/ and maybe ~/.dropbox-dist/ dirs. [23:46] There's no apostrophes in that command, right? So it's: dpkg -S which dropbox ? [23:46] backticks ` [23:48] ok [23:49] 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] You know, can I just add the Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center or is that overkill? [23:50] I'm feeling like I'm getting in over my head here. [23:53] When I put "dropbox" in the Catfish File Finder (under File System) a ton of stuff comes up. [23:54] Think I should just leave it be. It's working. Or should I add Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center?
