[00:12] Good evening from North Carolina. Is there anyone home? [00:13] Looks like a full house. [00:13] yo [00:13] I'm a novice Xubuntu user and I have a question about changing the permissions on a file [00:14] It seems that whenever I try to use chmod +x the permission doesn't change [00:15] TekknoDraykko, in what sense? [00:15] how exactly? [00:15] I've tried logging in using sudo -i but the result is that the executable permission does not get set [00:15] how do you determine it doesn't? [00:16] When I type: "ls -l" on the file name, the permission isn't set [00:16] ok, so which xubuntu version are you using? [00:17] Hold on, let me check... [00:19] Xubuntu 14.04 [00:19] using any PPAs? [00:20] What's a PPA? [00:20] then likely not... [00:21] LOL! yep...that's a safe bet (unless it's something that's installed automatically with Xubuntu) [00:21] nope. [00:21] soo.. what's the file you are trying to make executable? [00:21] Netbeans installation [00:22] hold on let me get the filename [00:22] !info netbeans [00:22] Package netbeans does not exist in vivid [00:24] I think I might have an idea...if it doesn't work, I'll be back. === sorinello_ is now known as sorinello [08:04] Hey, I am wondering, for how long is 14.04 still supported? [08:04] I am thinking of downgrading [08:05] vista__, 3 years [08:05] haven't really had any problems in 14.10, but 15.04 so far has been a huge disappointment === sorinello_ is now known as sorinello [08:41] vista__: why? [08:42] if there are problems, then you should consider filing bug reports. maybe even test the current development release (15.10 beta) [08:42] to make sure that things get resolved [09:42] oh hey brainwash, didn't see your message there [09:43] well, my biggest problem is that I am unable to connect an external monitor after waking my laptop from sleep [09:58] vista__: did you file a bug report (or search for an existing one)? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [12:13] hello [12:14] I have a problem [12:14] help!

[16:38] * xubuntu689 slaps AntiSpamMeta around a bit with a large fishbot [18:03] hi [18:04] welcome :) [18:05] I am about to perform an exercice to contribute to a NFO who brings computers to Africa once a year, with Xubuntu arranged for teachers in high schools. The aim for me is to make it work right the way they did last time with 12.04, but adapted to 14.04 [18:05] hi two_jays thanks [18:05] I need a little information [18:05] without having to seek for myself in the system if I can: [18:06] once the icons arranged the way we like on the desktop, in which Xfce config file is it located in the .config/xfce4 folder? [18:08] well never mind [18:08] I found [18:08] I thought it would be more difficult than that to find out [18:08] well thats good! [18:08] i really couldnt tell it anyway ;) [18:13] I installed mc and with F3 or F4 it's easy to look fast into the content of several files and folders [18:13] well files F4 or F3 and browser folders [18:14] thats sounds interesting [18:17] I could not do most of the tasks I do in the computer without mc [18:17] it's the swiss knife so light and handy in the console [18:17] can be used as user or as root too, without any damage for the user sessions === L0cust is now known as Guest80859 [19:36] can someone give me the output for "ls -l .config/xfce*" ?
