[00:22] Hi all [00:26] How do I change the file manager on xubuntu to PCManFM? [00:29] FireStriker, Settings → Preffered Applications → Utilities [00:29] Ok [00:30] Where do I download it lol [00:35] I have found it on the software 'App Store' thing [00:35] There's 2 options [00:36] http://i.imgur.com/kmgzGEu.jpg [00:36] Which do I pick lol [00:38] FireStriker, for xubuntu i would recommend the second [00:38] the GTK+ based [00:39] What's the first? Installing the second now btw [00:39] the first one listet is a Qt-port of the GTK file manager [00:39] Qt? [00:39] basically they are using different toolkits for user interface [00:40] pcmanfm-gtk was tor still is the LXDE default file manager [00:40] but as the developers decided to stop LXDE development and focus on LXQt instead they had to port the file manager [00:42] So PCManFM is no longer being updated on LXDE? [00:42] vice versa [00:42] LXDE is no longer updated [00:43] wait is it LX desktop Environment [00:43] but pcmanfm had been around way longer than LXDE [00:43] Isn't LXDE Lubuntu? [00:43] yes [00:44] That would explain why it's not the smothest ubuntu [00:44] well, actually the same developers are maintaining both version [00:45] Let's say the only thing I liked about it is the multiple desktops and the file manager [00:45] I can live with out multiple desktops [00:45] I love PCManFM [00:45] multiple desktops? [00:46] afaik that's KDE only [00:46] or are you talking about virtual desktops in terms of workspaces? [00:46] It had a thing on the taskbar [00:47] http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/workspaces [00:47] and http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/pager [00:51] Thanks for the help with the file manager [00:52] you're welcome [01:41] how to install wine on xubuntu? [05:48] Hello all [05:51] 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] By FTP hosting I mean hosting the package to be remotely installed (my termininology may be off) [09:01] hey guys [09:01] im looking for a dock for xubuntu [09:07] 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] It depends what you need and like. [09:07] i want something that looks nice, easy to use and lightweigh [09:08] Try Plank. [09:09] was looking at that the other day when i google them, bc i dont know much i lik [09:09] piss [09:09] nvm [09:09] ... [09:10] so how do i find plank? lol [09:11] sudo apt install plank [09:11] It should be in the universe repo. [09:12] ok [09:15] its done thanks [09:16] 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] ok [09:17] that would be nice thanks [09:17] http://www.filedropper.com/plank-themes [09:18] Put these extracted folders in ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ [09:19] let me just get addblock lol [09:19] Sorry, it's the firs file sharing site I found :/ [09:19] its alright [09:19] I can upload it on my Google Drive and share. [09:20] that would be easer [09:21] https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8qh4-wxxEZ7NFY1NjJoYWFFM0E [09:24] whats the command to move the contents of a file to that location [09:24] its /mv right [09:25] sudo mv /user/chris/downloads/ ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ ? [09:25] You can do it in Thunar, Ctrl + H shows hidden folders. [09:26] im useing PCManFM [09:32] mv ~/Downloads/Arc-Plank/ ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ [09:32] whats ~ [09:32] You don't need sudo when you're operating in your home directory. [09:32] ok [09:34] ~ acts like your home directory so "/home/user_name/" [09:36] hang on why is the Terminal called Terminal Emulator lol that doesnt sound too good any way doing the command now [09:36] all moved [09:36] doing downloads/* made it go faster lol [09:39] http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/introduction [09:41] I need to correct myself, ~ is "/home/user_name" not "/home/user_name/" [09:42] ok [09:43] 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] true [09:52] i made shour to deleat the .zip before doing the command [09:52] who knows what could of happned [09:58] hola [11:55] Hi Guys !

[14:04] hey guys i am trying to install wine/playonlinux how do i do that? [14:39] 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] I never used PlayOnLinux so I can't help here. [14:49] or just sudo apt-get install wine [14:49] thats what i did and it works pretty alright [14:49] or just go to the software center look for playonlinux and install it [14:54] Wine in 16.04 repos is really outdated. === Zren_ is now known as ZRen === ZRen is now known as Zren === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [21:16] i'm new to linux - just installed 32 bit xubuntu - i have an old pc with 2ghz processor with 1.5 gb ram - i'm trying to get chromium-browser via the software mgr but it just keeps spinning around & doesn't show up. ikeep getting network disconected but its not. i'm tring to get a browser that doesn't have video lagging when i'm at youtube. firefox has video lagging issues. can some help with this problem? === jbermudes_ is now known as jbermudes [22:07] howdy [22:07] Is Xfce good for 4k scaling?
