[00:22] <FireStriker> Hi all
[00:26] <FireStriker> How do I change the file manager on xubuntu to PCManFM?
[00:29] <mrkramps> FireStriker, Settings → Preffered Applications → Utilities
[00:29] <FireStriker> Ok
[00:30] <FireStriker> Where do I download it lol
[00:35] <FireStriker> I have found it on the software 'App Store' thing
[00:35] <FireStriker> There's 2 options
[00:36] <FireStriker> http://i.imgur.com/kmgzGEu.jpg
[00:36] <FireStriker> Which do I pick lol
[00:38] <mrkramps> FireStriker, for xubuntu i would recommend the second
[00:38] <mrkramps> the GTK+ based
[00:39] <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
[00:40] <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
[00:42] <FireStriker> So PCManFM is no longer being updated on LXDE?
[00:42] <mrkramps> vice versa
[00:42] <mrkramps> LXDE is no longer updated
[00:43] <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
[00:44] <FireStriker> That would explain why it's not the smothest ubuntu
[00:44] <mrkramps> well, actually the same developers are maintaining both version
[00:45] <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?
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <mrkramps> http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/workspaces
[00:47] <mrkramps> and http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/pager
[00:51] <FireStriker> Thanks for the help with the file manager
[00:52] <mrkramps> you're welcome
[01:41] <xubuntu92o> how to install wine on xubuntu?
[05:48] <camel_> Hello all
[05:51] <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?
[05:52] <camel_> By FTP hosting I mean hosting the package to be remotely installed (my termininology may be off)
[09:01] <FireStriker> hey guys
[09:01] <FireStriker> im looking for a dock for xubuntu
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <Spass> Try Plank.
[09:09] <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> ...
[09:10] <FireStriker> so how do i find plank? lol
[09:11] <Spass> sudo apt install plank
[09:11] <Spass> It should be in the universe repo.
[09:12] <FireStriker> ok
[09:15] <FireStriker> its done thanks
[09:16] <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.
[09:17] <FireStriker> ok
[09:17] <FireStriker> that would be nice thanks
[09:17] <Spass> http://www.filedropper.com/plank-themes
[09:18] <Spass> Put these extracted folders in ~/.local/share/plank/themes/
[09:19] <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.
[09:20] <FireStriker> that would be easer
[09:21] <Spass> https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8qh4-wxxEZ7NFY1NjJoYWFFM0E
[09:24] <FireStriker> whats the command to move the contents of a file to that location
[09:24] <FireStriker> its /mv right
[09:25] <FireStriker> sudo mv /user/chris/downloads/ ~/.local/share/plank/themes/  ?
[09:25] <Spass> You can do it in Thunar, Ctrl + H shows hidden folders.
[09:26] <FireStriker> im useing PCManFM
[09:32] <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
[09:34] <Spass> ~ acts like your home directory so "/home/user_name/"
[09:36] <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
[09:39] <Spass> http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/introduction
[09:41] <Spass> I need to correct myself, ~ is "/home/user_name" not "/home/user_name/"
[09:42] <FireStriker> ok
[09:43] <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.
[09:51] <FireStriker> true
[09:52] <FireStriker> i made shour to deleat the .zip before doing the command
[09:52] <FireStriker> who knows what could of happned
[09:58] <xubuntu11i> hola
[11:55] <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 ?
[14:04] <FireStriker> hey guys i am trying to install wine/playonlinux how do i do that?
[14:39] <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.
[14:49] <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
[14:54] <Spass> Wine in 16.04 repos is really outdated.
