[01:42] <lindol> hi all
[01:42] <lindol> xchat package was not supported anymore from 16.04?
[02:20] <lindol> oh i have found something that is answered on the ubuntu forum :)
[05:27] <georgeowell> LinDol: hexchat
[05:27] <georgeowell> xchat is no longer developed
[05:27] <georgeowell> just for posterity's sake
[06:51] <boyonfire> hi
[19:40] <Olotila> How do I create a shortcut to Gnome 3 Activities menu?
[19:41] <Olotila> btsync for example, in folder ~/Progs/btsync
[19:43] <jbicha> Olotila: I think you'll need to create a .desktop and put it in ~/.local/share/applications/
[19:43] <jbicha> although this is written for developers, it may help:
[19:43] <jbicha> https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html
[19:44] <Olotila> yeah
[19:45] <Olotila> in case of btsync, what would the file look like? When I run it from terminal, it just informs its running and ip
[19:46] <Olotila> [Desktop Entry]
[19:46] <jbicha> Terminal=true
[19:47] <jbicha> maybe, I don't use btsync
[19:47] <Olotila> Exec=~/Progs/btsync
[19:47] <Olotila> will that be enough?
[19:47] <Olotila> two lines
[19:48] <jbicha> no, I think you need Name and Type at least
[19:49] <jbicha> if you just want btsync to automatically run in the background, you do the same thing but put your .desktop in ~/.config/autostart/
[19:53] <jbicha> or maybe try http://blog.bittorrent.com/2016/02/18/official-linux-packages-for-sync-now-available/
[20:00] <Olotila> [Desktop Entry]
[20:00] <Olotila> Name=btsync
[20:01] <Olotila> Exec==~/Progs/btsync
[20:01] <Olotila> Icon==~/Progs/btsync
[20:01] <Olotila> Type=Application
[20:01] <Olotila> Terminal=true
[20:01] <Olotila> Categories=Utility;
[20:01] <Olotila> nothing appears in Activities menu
[20:02] <Olotila> .desktop file is in .local/share/applicatioins
[20:02] <Olotila> I do not want to autorun it
[20:03] <jbicha> skip the Categories line, GNOME puts Utilities in a separate folder named Utilities by default
[20:03] <Olotila> so far I run the command ./Progs/btsync when I need it
[20:03] <Olotila> feels stupid to always type that
[20:03] <Olotila> ok
[20:04] <Olotila> does not appear still
[20:08] <jbicha> maybe type Alt+F2 and enter r
[20:08] <jbicha> to reload gnome-shell
[20:09] <jbicha> and maybe leave the Icon line out too for now
[20:10] <Olotila> reload did not help
[20:10] <jbicha> I don't know then, you can try askubuntu.com
[20:13] <Olotila> Yeah, thanks for trying to help, jbicha
[20:43] <zero_coder> hi , what version of linux kernel, ubuntu-gnome uses?
[20:46] <jbicha> zero_coder: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntugnome
[20:47] <zero_coder> jbicha, its 4.4 , pretty old
[20:48] <zero_coder> :|
[20:53] <jbicha> not really, 4.6 wasn't released yet when Ubuntu 16.04 was
[20:53] <jbicha> and 4.4 is a Long Term Support kernel which is a pretty good choice
[20:53] <jbicha> https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
[20:54] <zero_coder> jbicha, but skylake is having issues with it .
[20:54] <zero_coder> unluckly , i am having a skylake cpu
[20:55] <jbicha> you could try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds but those are generally unsupported
[20:56] <zero_coder> jbicha, thanks. i'll brb , just need to reboot
[22:01] <Techspectre> Hello! I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 and I see there's now an option to make a wifi hotspot. I activate it, but I can't see a hotspot on other devices. Is there something special I need to do?
