[03:55] <xubuntu09w> Hi I use Kate under Xubuntu 15.04. It does not save/restore current session/recent files on exit/start and does not import highl. templates. It seems not to use ~/.kde/share/config at all
[03:56] <holstein> shouldnt be anything "breaking" that from xubuntu.. are you seeing that config file? have you tried as another user?
[04:27] <xubuntu09w> Kate saves its sessions in $HOME/.config/session. But it does not restore them. Under a new user, it keeps the "recent files" list between logouts. Not as the original user.
[04:27] <holstein> xubuntu09w: i would look at my users settings, then, if its isolated to that user.. could be, something you have brought from an older version? another install? etc
[04:31] <xubuntu09w> This was a clean install of 15.04. In Kate I switched on session saving and recent files list 30 entries.
[04:32] <xubuntu09w> Just tried to open Help for Kate. This might contain some hints:  Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher5 was not provided by any .service files
[04:33] <holstein> i would blow the relevant configs away, if its working as another user..
[04:33] <holstein> you can always save them, and revert, if you want..
[09:10] <user2e> hello everyone,trying to save modifications done in terminal to a file and can't get out of editing mode (ctrl+x) won't do it
[09:14] <knome> which file?
[09:16] <user2e> thanks knome,file i edited is /etc/xdrp/startwm.sh
[09:16] <user2e> using gnu nano
[09:17] <knome> how did you edit it?
[09:17] <knome> which command did you issue?
[09:18] <user2e> did echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession and then
[09:19] <user2e> nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
[09:19] <knome> you'll need sudo in order to be able to edit that file
[09:19] <user2e> ok,how do i exit nano now if you can tell me
[09:19] <knome> ctrl+x
[09:19] <knome> and see what nano saus
[09:19] <knome> *says
[09:20] <user2e> it says save modifed? Y N then i choose Y and just go back to last options,won't exit
[09:20] <knome> yes... since you still can't save the modifications, you should just quit
[09:20] <user2e> oh ok
[09:20] <user2e> was concerned quitting may mess it up
[09:20] <user2e> thanks again knome will try again using sudo before the commands.
[09:21] <knome> you only need it for the last one
[09:21] <knome> don't use sudo when you don't need to
[09:21] <user2e> ok
[09:24] <user2e> still won't let me exit,did sudo nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
[09:25] <knome> so... what does it say now then?
[09:25] <user2e> same thing in gnu nano,ctrl+x then Y and it won't exit,only option is ctrl+c to cancel
[09:26] <knome> that's because ctrl+x isn't "save and quit"
[09:27] <knome> what does nano say after you press "Y"?
[09:27] <knome> the best advice i can give you is... pay attention to what you are doing, and think with your own brains
[09:27] <knome> if you blindly follow a tutorial or somebody helping you, you'll never learn
[09:29] <user2e> ok,was likely trying to save time on this will try and do as you suggest,new to linux and will read on the other options like append prepand dos format and others.
[09:29] <knome> that's likely not necessary though
[09:29] <knome> (just try hitting enter)
[09:29] <user2e> lol
[09:30] <user2e> thanks man,that's all it was
[09:30] <knome> sure
[09:30] <user2e> have a nice day :) bye
[09:30] <knome> bye
[20:26] <spicypixel> I've got some ghost items in my menu that the menu editor doesn't list, and have been apt-get purged but still show (minus the icons)
[20:26] <spicypixel> any way to force rebuild the app launcher menu?
[20:42] <knome> spicypixel, it's likely that the desktop files (which are used to build the items) are invalid
[20:42] <knome> this is why menulibre doesn't show them
[20:43] <spicypixel> yeah I've found them and removed them
[20:43] <knome> the menu should update automatically
[20:43] <knome> if it doesn't, then you likely have some desktop files left somewhere
[20:44] <spicypixel> it did
[20:44] <spicypixel> thanks
[20:44] <knome> no problem
[21:55] <hylian> hello all
[21:56] <knome> hello.
[22:12] <xubuntu97w> hello !
[22:12] <knome> hello
[22:12] <xubuntu97w> I have a question about tar.gz files
[22:13] <xubuntu97w> I'm a beginner i the xubuntu word
[22:13] <xubuntu97w> how to install a software with the extension .tar.gz?
[22:13] <xubuntu97w> in xubuntu?
[22:14] <knome> is that software not available in the software repositories?
[22:14] <xubuntu97w> yes ans no
[22:14] <xubuntu97w> the software is Geary
[22:14] <xubuntu97w> but the version in the software center is 0.6
[22:14] <ochosi> there is even a PPA for geary if you're not happy with the version provided in the official channels
[22:14] <xubuntu97w> and the latest version is 0.10
[22:15] <ochosi> that would be much better than trying to build geary yourself (which is what you have to do with a tar.gz archive)
[22:15] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:15] <xubuntu97w> If I'm not wrong, I can have it from teh PPA but for the 0.6 version
[22:15] <xubuntu97w> not the 0.10
[22:16] <ochosi> lmgtfy: https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[22:17] <ochosi> xubuntu97w: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=geary+ppa+ubuntu
[22:18] <xubuntu97w> thank a lot
[22:19] <ochosi> np
[22:19] <xubuntu97w> If I use your method, I will be able to install the latest version 0.10?
[22:19] <ochosi> have you used PPAs before?
[22:19] <xubuntu97w> yes 1 or 2 times..
[22:20] <ochosi> right, then you can simply check what versions of geary are available for the version of ubuntu/xubuntu you're using on that launchpad site i linked above
[22:21] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:22] <xubuntu97w> okkkk... understood now
[22:23] <xubuntu97w> i can have the 0.10
[22:23] <ochosi> there you go
[22:23] <xubuntu97w> any advice on a book or internet site if I want some informations about .tar.gz files??
[22:24] <xubuntu97w> well explained of course...
[22:24] <knome> xubuntu97w, .tar.gz is basically just a container format (like .zip), there is no single way how they should be dealt with
[22:25] <xubuntu97w> so.. If I download a tar.gz... how do I uncompress and install the software ?
[22:25] <xubuntu97w> I had a quick look on internet and it looks a bit compicated..
[22:25] <ochosi> the general advice is not to install software by hand if you don't know what you're doing
[22:26] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:26] <ochosi> the software center is there for a reason
[22:26] <knome> as i just said, there is no "one stop guide" for that, it depends
[22:26] <xubuntu97w> so better to use the PPA if possible..
[22:26] <xubuntu97w> I guess..
[22:26] <ochosi> yeah, or ideally just the general repositories
[22:26] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:26] <ochosi> even with PPAs you're installing software from untrusted sources, so to speak
[22:27] <xubuntu97w> so how to know if I install a trusted version if I use PPA??
[22:27] <xubuntu97w> trusted source...
[22:27] <knome> you don't.
[22:27] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:27] <knome> PPA's are never considered trusted sources
[22:27] <ochosi> repositories == trusted. anything else == untrusted
[22:29] <xubuntu97w> last question..
[22:29] <xubuntu97w> I have Xubuntu installed alonside windows 8.1
[22:30] <xubuntu97w> I will ike to mount the windows folders automatically mounted in Xunbuntu..
[22:30] <xubuntu97w> is it possible?
[22:30] <xubuntu97w> I mean each time I start xubuntu...
[22:31] <knome> yes.
[22:31] <xubuntu97w> how?
[22:31] <knome> i thought that was the last question :(
[22:31] <xubuntu97w> it is...  :)
[22:32] <knome> anyway, Unit193 can help
[22:32] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:33] <xubuntu97w> I will contact him...
[22:33] <knome> just wait here :P
[22:33] <xubuntu97w> thanks a lot for your time
[22:33] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:34] <Unit193> Generally speaking, I'd say using fstab is the method to do this.  There may be some GUI way.
[22:34] <Unit193> Hello, please do keep it in channel, xubuntu97w.
[22:34] <xubuntu97w> ok
[22:35] <xubuntu97w> fstab? ok
[22:35] <xubuntu97w> I will check on google
[22:35] <Unit193> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab should do it.
[22:37] <xubuntu97w> thanks for the doc.
[22:37] <xubuntu97w> I will have a look and will come back to you if needed.
[22:37] <Unit193> It's not the easiest way, you could in theory maybe get gigolo to automount.
[22:38] <xubuntu97w> the easiest way between fstab and gigolo is ?
[22:39] <xubuntu97w> fstab?
[22:40] <Unit193> If gigolo can do it, it is a GUI rather than just a file to edit.
[22:42] <xubuntu97w> thanks for your time guys..
