| de-facto | Hey guys, any idea where i can disable that annoying "welcome, first steps" greeter? it shows up everytime i login and its kinda annoying me now... | 11:38 |
|---|---|---|
| de-facto | would i need to uninstall gnome help or something to get rid of it? | 11:42 |
| de-facto | Hey guys, i want to connect my android 6 phone to gnome notifications and sync clipboard. Back in the days there was DeskCon, but that doesnt work anymore, what is the best way to do this nowerdays? any ideas/suggestions? | 12:43 |
| georgeowell_ | I haven't tested it but I've heard good things about KDE connect | 12:53 |
| georgeowell_ | de-facto: It runs on non KDE desktops too | 12:53 |
| de-facto | yeah i heard that too, but im not sure how to pair it with gnome | 12:53 |
| de-facto | it does not list my gnome box as available device | 12:54 |
| de-facto | i guess on the gnome side there is no counterpart for it maybe? | 12:56 |
| de-facto | i wish he did not die, his DeskCon was awesome for this https://github.com/screenfreeze | 12:58 |
| georgeowell_ | not to my knowledge | 13:04 |
| georgeowell_ | haven't looked into it | 13:04 |
| georgeowell_ | have you looked on F-Droid? | 13:04 |
| de-facto | yeah its on fdroid, but i think the extension for gnome does not work in 3.18 anymore | 13:05 |
| de-facto | there is also Nuntius but that seems to only sync Notifications and is not near the functionality DeskCon provided back in the days | 13:07 |
| de-facto | id like to share links and clipboard, e.g. if i found a nice link on android open it on desktop for further investigations and such | 13:08 |
| de-facto | DeskCon did that over a encrypted (certs) link via the share menu | 13:09 |
| georgeowell_ | Yeh, the link thing is a super drag for me right now. | 13:20 |
| georgeowell_ | not so bothered about notifications | 13:20 |
| georgeowell_ | KDE connect is deffo what you need to get working | 13:24 |
| georgeowell_ | I've seen people using it on gnome | 13:24 |
| de-facto | hmmm it seems that would require to install half of a kde desktop environment alongside with it, then i also could just go ahead and use Kubuntu instead :-( | 13:42 |
| de-facto | i cant believe there is no more native gnome way to do this since the gnome desktop is popular as well as android | 13:44 |

| LinDol | hi all | 14:42 |
| LinDol | i was home now. hahaha after working. | 14:42 |
| Olotila | I cannot right-click and "open in terminal", because folder is full of files | 16:09 |
| Olotila | so how do I easily get to terminal in that (Nautilus) folder? | 16:10 |
| de-facto | Olotila why cant you click "open in terminal" on that folder? can you be more specific? | 16:24 |
| Olotila | it is full of files | 16:24 |
| Olotila | my click "hits" a file, and gives a different menu | 16:25 |
| de-facto | you need to right click that on the folder itself | 16:25 |
| de-facto | not on file | 16:25 |
| Olotila | the Open in terminal appears, if I click in empty part of the folder | 16:25 |
| de-facto | no one level above the content of the folder | 16:25 |
| de-facto | so if you want a terminal on /path/to/folder you need to be in /path/to and right click on "folder" | 16:26 |
| Olotila | clicking folder gives "open in new window", new tab, properties | 16:26 |
| de-facto | in nautilus? | 16:27 |
| Olotila | yes | 16:27 |
| Olotila | on top | 16:27 |
| Olotila | on left open folder is not visible | 16:27 |
| Olotila | only default folders Recent, Home, Documents ... | 16:27 |
| de-facto | on the folder itself or even on background in symbol view | 16:28 |
| de-facto | works on 16.04 for me | 16:28 |
| Olotila | I think I have the list view | 16:29 |
| de-facto | then use the symbol view (that matrix dots) | 16:29 |
| de-facto | there you can click on background for example inside that folder, or click on folder directly (one level above) | 16:29 |
| de-facto | ofc it would not work if you click on a file instead | 16:30 |
| de-facto | right click that is always | 16:30 |
| Olotila | ok so there actually is no way to click Open in terminal, if I am in listview and seeing only files? | 16:31 |
| Olotila | the Files -menu above (Gnome 3.20) gives no Open in terminal either | 16:31 |
| de-facto | you can do that in list view too, but you have to right click on that folder | 16:31 |
| de-facto | Gnome 3.20? | 16:32 |
| Olotila | yeah | 16:32 |
| de-facto | on 16.04 its nautilus 3.14.3 | 16:33 |
| de-facto | how come you are on Gnome 3.20? | 16:33 |
| Olotila | so I have to change view or go up one folder? | 16:33 |
| Olotila | I updated it via their own PPA | 16:33 |
| de-facto | yeah or find a empty space where you can right click on background on folder (also in list view) | 16:33 |
| Olotila | where in list view? | 16:34 |
| de-facto | under the list (where the empty bg is) | 16:34 |
| Olotila | the file "bar" fills the space | 16:34 |
| Olotila | full rectangle, from left to right | 16:34 |
| de-facto | yeah i guess if you have that many files then you have to either change in symbol view or go one level above | 16:35 |
| Olotila | empty "bg"? | 16:35 |
| Olotila | ok | 16:35 |
| de-facto | background | 16:35 |
| Olotila | yeah | 16:35 |
| Olotila | so also, can I drag with mouse to select multiple items? | 16:35 |
| Olotila | I bet not | 16:36 |
| de-facto | holding Ctrl and left click you can select multiple (but not drag i guess) | 16:37 |
| Olotila | yeah | 16:37 |
| de-facto | ctrl shift I "inverts" your selection | 16:38 |
| de-facto | so if you want almost all files you could do "ctrl + A" then hold Ctrl and deselect | 16:38 |
| Olotila | yeah | 16:38 |
| de-facto | for example | 16:38 |
| Olotila | other "file explorer" gui's available? | 16:39 |
| Olotila | other than Nautilus? | 16:39 |
| de-facto | yeah many i guess, but Nautilus is pretty powerfull once you got used to it | 16:40 |
| Olotila | well, it is, but it could be even better | 16:40 |
| de-facto | you can even use it for remote file systems with "smb://windows/share" or "ssh://linux/share" and such | 16:40 |
| Olotila | like backspace for "folder up" | 16:40 |
| Olotila | mouse drag for selecting | 16:41 |
| de-facto | or connect an android phone to it and get its internal storage via MTP | 16:41 |
| Olotila | easy way to get path as text, to be copied | 16:41 |
| de-facto | yeah you can do custom key bindings of course | 16:41 |
| de-facto | ctrl + L | 16:41 |
| de-facto | that shows you the path in text mode in the address bar of nautilus | 16:41 |
| Olotila | it has improvet, I think, like previously it changed the timestamp of photos to time of the copying | 16:42 |
| Olotila | messed up lots of my photos | 16:42 |
| Olotila | thanks, I'll remember Ctrl L | 16:42 |
| Olotila | for List, or what could it be? | 16:42 |
| de-facto | there are many keyboard shortcuts for example Alt + Up for going one level upwards | 16:44 |
| Olotila | Alt Up needs two hands | 16:45 |
| de-facto | Ctrl +1 and Ctrl + 2 for the views | 16:45 |
| Olotila | I usually have one hand in mouse and other in kb | 16:45 |
| Olotila | Backspace is way easier | 16:45 |
| Olotila | how can I change the bindings? | 16:45 |
| de-facto | you can mess with it maybe in ~/.config/nautilus/accels | 16:46 |
| de-facto | but make a backup before and be carefull | 16:46 |
| de-facto | i guess you have to killall nautilus and reopen it when you changed something in there | 16:49 |
| de-facto | never tried it myself | 16:49 |
| Olotila | how do I install programs from git? | 17:05 |
| Olotila | https://github.com/vitaut/captain-nemo | 17:06 |
| de-facto | i dont think that would work on 3.20 | 17:43 |
| Olotila | ok, but how do you install programs from git in general? | 18:58 |
| Olotila | Google only gives guides how to install git to ubuntu | 18:58 |
| Olotila | when I search: | 18:58 |
| Olotila | install git programs in ubuntu | 18:58 |
| Olotila | all I get is how to install git itself to ubuntu | 18:59 |
| Olotila | or search ... to ubuntu | 18:59 |
| shubham_ | is g++ installed in ubuntu gnome 16.04> | 19:19 |
| shubham_ | ? | 19:19 |
| shubham_ | kipd: is g++ installed in ubuntu gnome 16.04? | 19:20 |
| shubham_ | ? | 19:22 |
| shubham_ | ? | 19:22 |
| shubham_ | ? | 19:22 |
| kipd | I personally don't recall if g++ is installed by default in 16.04, but it's just a short package install away. | 19:23 |
| shubham_ | i was trying without installing and found that gcc is installed but g++ is not | 19:23 |
| shubham_ | though it was preinstalled in ubuntu 14.04 | 19:23 |
| shubham_ | i want to switch to ubuntu gnome 16.04 but just want to be sure that all the softwares that i need is present there | 19:24 |
| kipd | Whatever software isn't present can usually being installed with apt-get on the command line or Synaptic/Software Center in the Gnome Desktop | 19:25 |
| shubham_ | ok thanks. i did install g++ just now and it's working. | 19:27 |
| kipd | Excellent, enjoy your day. | 19:27 |
| shubham_ | what's your opinion- should i switch to 16.04? | 19:27 |
| shubham_ | i am not a seasoned linux user. been using it only for the last 4 months. | 19:27 |
| shubham_ | am an undergraduate student studying computer science engineering in my university | 19:28 |
| kipd | It's up to you. 14.04 isn't that old and came with Gnome by default. 16.04 comes with Unity instead. | 19:29 |
| shubham_ | yeah, but i really like the gnome look in 16.04. | 19:30 |
| kipd | Sounds like you have your answer then. | 19:30 |
| kipd | There's really no drawback to using the more current 16.04 for you then. | 19:30 |
| shubham_ | Plus i have been using unity for 4 months now, and gnome looks like a fresh change. | 19:30 |
| shubham_ | thanks for the advice. | 19:30 |
| kipd | Cheers | 19:31 |
| de-facto | Olotila well it depends on how you want to maintain your system i guess: you can install git then "git clone ..." but then you would need a "debian" directory with the package files inside that for backing a .deb out of it (and install that with gdebi or such). I mean you also can do "sudo make install" but then the package manager would not keep track of the files it spreads on your system (wich i really dont like). | 19:43 |
| de-facto | if you have a "debian" directory for a project you can go inside your project folder (which contains that "debian" folder) and to "dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us" to build a deb package one level above | 19:44 |
| de-facto | the nice thing about ubuntu is that you can find many, really many software with a debian folder on some PPAs | 19:45 |
| de-facto | without it the usual way would be "./configure --prefix=/opt" "make" and "sudo make install" or such (depends on what make system the developer prefered) | 19:47 |
| Olotila | yeah, git seems like a mess from users point of view | 20:13 |
| Olotila | more folders to back up | 20:13 |
| LinDol | hi all | 23:44 |
| georgeowell | heya | 23:45 |
| LinDol | georgeowell, hi :) | 23:49 |
