| jxshxx | Hiya! Something I miss from my Ubuntu days: External drives would show a desktop icon, and right-clicking gave the "safely remove" option. Can that "system" be added to Lubuntu? | 03:58 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | from your ubuntu days? | 03:59 |
| jxshxx | you know ... I used to use Ubuntu and switched to Lubuntu | 04:00 |
| holstein | lubuntu *is* ubuntu.. lxde is a lightweight environment.. if you want, you can add desktop icons for what you like, or, use a different filemanager, or, unmount "drives" as you please.. | 04:00 |
| ianorlin | jxshxx: just unmount them in pcmanfm is how I normally do it | 04:00 |
| holstein | you can right click on the drives in the filemanager, and likely, simply find what you are looking for there | 04:00 |
| jxshxx | I understand. Is it the file manager the difference? | 04:01 |
| holstein | the entire desktop environment is the main difference | 04:01 |
| jxshxx | using "eject removable media" does not quite function the same way | 04:03 |
| holstein | it does | 04:03 |
| holstein | it unmounts, safely, and allows you to remove it | 04:03 |
| holstein | what are you wanting to do? | 04:03 |
| jxshxx | In Ubuntu, it shuts off the light on my usb. Not so in Lubuntu. | 04:04 |
| holstein | jxshxx: its unmounted.. check and make sure.. | 04:04 |
| jxshxx | I justed liked the way it worked better | 04:04 |
| jxshxx | Overall, I'm very happy with the switch | 04:05 |
| holstein | jxshxx: you can be comparing more than just the different desktops. you are comparing different kernel versions, if you are coming from, say, ubuntu 14.04, and using lubuntu 15.04.. | 04:05 |
| jxshxx | I just thought I'd ask to see if I could maximize comfort | 04:05 |
| holstein | could be, in main ubuntu/unity, the light stays on.. | 04:05 |
| holstein | the light should go off after you remove it, after unmounting it | 04:06 |
| jxshxx | I was using classic gnome in Ubuntu | 04:06 |
| holstein | sure.. but, what kernel? and what version, you understand? | 04:06 |
| holstein | anyways, the issue with "safety" is just that you dont want to remove it while mounted | 04:06 |
| holstein | if its unmounted, which, you can check and see, then, its "safe" to remove.. light or no | 04:07 |
| jxshxx | Okay | 04:07 |
| jxshxx | Is it possible to set it up so that an icon appears on the desktop when external drives are mounted? | 04:08 |
| holstein | anything, in open systems, is possible | 04:08 |
| jxshxx | I am equally encouraged and horrified ... | 04:09 |
| holstein | i would check in pcmanfm | 04:10 |
| holstein | "Open pcmanfm the file manager and go to Edit --> Preferences to the tab Desktop and make sure the Manage the desktop and show file icons checkbox is checked this will give you your desktop icons" | 04:11 |
| holstein | should look something like that, depending on your versions.. | 04:11 |
| jxshxx | I'll poke around. Thanks and goodnight. | 04:14 |
| holstein | cheers, and good luck | 04:14 |
