[03:58] <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?
[03:59] <holstein> from your ubuntu days?
[04:00] <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
[04:01] <jxshxx> I understand.  Is it the file manager the difference?
[04:01] <holstein> the entire desktop environment is the main difference
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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..
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <holstein> if its unmounted, which, you can check and see, then, its "safe" to remove.. light or no
[04:07] <jxshxx> Okay
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <jxshxx> I am equally encouraged and horrified ...
[04:10] <holstein> i would check in pcmanfm
[04:11] <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..
[04:14] <jxshxx> I'll poke around.  Thanks and goodnight.
[04:14] <holstein> cheers, and good luck
