| FireStriker | Hi all | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| FireStriker | How do I change the file manager on xubuntu to PCManFM? | 00:26 |
| mrkramps | FireStriker, Settings → Preffered Applications → Utilities | 00:29 |
| FireStriker | Ok | 00:29 |
| FireStriker | Where do I download it lol | 00:30 |
| FireStriker | I have found it on the software 'App Store' thing | 00:35 |
| FireStriker | There's 2 options | 00:35 |
| FireStriker | http://i.imgur.com/kmgzGEu.jpg | 00:36 |
| FireStriker | Which do I pick lol | 00:36 |
| mrkramps | FireStriker, for xubuntu i would recommend the second | 00:38 |
| mrkramps | the GTK+ based | 00:38 |
| FireStriker | What's the first? Installing the second now btw | 00:39 |
| mrkramps | the first one listet is a Qt-port of the GTK file manager | 00:39 |
| FireStriker | Qt? | 00:39 |
| mrkramps | basically they are using different toolkits for user interface | 00:39 |
| mrkramps | pcmanfm-gtk was tor still is the LXDE default file manager | 00:40 |
| mrkramps | but as the developers decided to stop LXDE development and focus on LXQt instead they had to port the file manager | 00:40 |
| FireStriker | So PCManFM is no longer being updated on LXDE? | 00:42 |
| mrkramps | vice versa | 00:42 |
| mrkramps | LXDE is no longer updated | 00:42 |
| FireStriker | wait is it LX desktop Environment | 00:43 |
| mrkramps | but pcmanfm had been around way longer than LXDE | 00:43 |
| FireStriker | Isn't LXDE Lubuntu? | 00:43 |
| mrkramps | yes | 00:43 |
| FireStriker | That would explain why it's not the smothest ubuntu | 00:44 |
| mrkramps | well, actually the same developers are maintaining both version | 00:44 |
| FireStriker | Let's say the only thing I liked about it is the multiple desktops and the file manager | 00:45 |
| FireStriker | I can live with out multiple desktops | 00:45 |
| FireStriker | I love PCManFM | 00:45 |
| mrkramps | multiple desktops? | 00:45 |
| mrkramps | afaik that's KDE only | 00:46 |
| mrkramps | or are you talking about virtual desktops in terms of workspaces? | 00:46 |
| FireStriker | It had a thing on the taskbar | 00:46 |
| mrkramps | http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/workspaces | 00:47 |
| mrkramps | and http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/pager | 00:47 |
| FireStriker | Thanks for the help with the file manager | 00:51 |
| mrkramps | you're welcome | 00:52 |
| xubuntu92o | how to install wine on xubuntu? | 01:41 |
| camel_ | Hello all | 05:48 |
| camel_ | I can normally download software remotely. However, I recently installed a .deb . Why do websites offer a .deb over FTP hosting? I guess it has to do with bandwidth and saving storage space. Am I on the right track? | 05:51 |
| camel_ | By FTP hosting I mean hosting the package to be remotely installed (my termininology may be off) | 05:52 |
| FireStriker | hey guys | 09:01 |
| FireStriker | im looking for a dock for xubuntu | 09:01 |
| Spass | FireStriker: Hello. You have many options: Plank, Docky, Avant Window Navigator, Cairo Dock, DockbarX... First two are simple and easy, other have many configuration options. | 09:07 |
| Spass | It depends what you need and like. | 09:07 |
| FireStriker | i want something that looks nice, easy to use and lightweigh | 09:07 |
| Spass | Try Plank. | 09:08 |
| FireStriker | was looking at that the other day when i google them, bc i dont know much i lik | 09:09 |
| FireStriker | piss | 09:09 |
| FireStriker | nvm | 09:09 |
| FireStriker | ... | 09:09 |
| FireStriker | so how do i find plank? lol | 09:10 |
| Spass | sudo apt install plank | 09:11 |
| Spass | It should be in the universe repo. | 09:11 |
| FireStriker | ok | 09:12 |
| FireStriker | its done thanks | 09:15 |
| Spass | I can send you some themes for Plank if you want. And if you want to get to Plank settings, Ctrl + right mouse button on the dock. | 09:16 |
| FireStriker | ok | 09:17 |
| FireStriker | that would be nice thanks | 09:17 |
| Spass | http://www.filedropper.com/plank-themes | 09:17 |
| Spass | Put these extracted folders in ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ | 09:18 |
| FireStriker | let me just get addblock lol | 09:19 |
| Spass | Sorry, it's the firs file sharing site I found :/ | 09:19 |
| FireStriker | its alright | 09:19 |
| Spass | I can upload it on my Google Drive and share. | 09:19 |
| FireStriker | that would be easer | 09:20 |
| Spass | https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8qh4-wxxEZ7NFY1NjJoYWFFM0E | 09:21 |
| FireStriker | whats the command to move the contents of a file to that location | 09:24 |
| FireStriker | its /mv right | 09:24 |
| FireStriker | sudo mv /user/chris/downloads/ ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ ? | 09:25 |
| Spass | You can do it in Thunar, Ctrl + H shows hidden folders. | 09:25 |
| FireStriker | im useing PCManFM | 09:26 |
| Spass | mv ~/Downloads/Arc-Plank/ ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ | 09:32 |
| FireStriker | whats ~ | 09:32 |
| Spass | You don't need sudo when you're operating in your home directory. | 09:32 |
| FireStriker | ok | 09:32 |
| Spass | ~ acts like your home directory so "/home/user_name/" | 09:34 |
| FireStriker | hang on why is the Terminal called Terminal Emulator lol that doesnt sound too good any way doing the command now | 09:36 |
| FireStriker | all moved | 09:36 |
| FireStriker | doing downloads/* made it go faster lol | 09:36 |
| Spass | http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/introduction | 09:39 |
| Spass | I need to correct myself, ~ is "/home/user_name" not "/home/user_name/" | 09:41 |
| FireStriker | ok | 09:42 |
| Spass | Yes "*" does the job, but I preferred to be careful with the command I suggested :) I don't know what you have in your 'Downloads' directory. | 09:43 |
| FireStriker | true | 09:51 |
| FireStriker | i made shour to deleat the .zip before doing the command | 09:52 |
| FireStriker | who knows what could of happned | 09:52 |
| xubuntu11i | hola | 09:58 |
| xubuntu59i | Hi Guys ! I have some trouble installing Xubuntu on my laptot... Everything goes well until 99%. At this point, I have a message telling me that the installer crashed... Can anyone help ? | 11:55 |
| FireStriker | hey guys i am trying to install wine/playonlinux how do i do that? | 14:04 |
| Spass | FireStriker: If you want to install Wine, the best way to do it is through the official PPA https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu | 14:39 |
| Spass | I never used PlayOnLinux so I can't help here. | 14:39 |
| GridCube | or just sudo apt-get install wine | 14:49 |
| GridCube | thats what i did and it works pretty alright | 14:49 |
| GridCube | or just go to the software center look for playonlinux and install it | 14:49 |
| Spass | Wine in 16.04 repos is really outdated. | 14:54 |
