monadWhat method would you recommend to install & run Xubuntu (64bit) on a 64gb USB3.0 flash drive?03:25
Artemis3monad, i would try to use a flash optimized fs not sure if current installer allows you or you still need to to a manual format before install03:39
monadArtemis3, that does sound kinda safer, but I have *zero* clue how that would be accomplished.03:46
Artemis3i'd need to check what fs options are currently offered in 17.0403:47
Artemis3or you just use gparted before starting the installation and then not format within the installer03:48
monadCan't find any installer or startup disk creator options in my current USB install of Xubuntu (made from within Windows OS).03:49
irgendwer4711I have still a problem with xfce themes and thee firefox addon reminderfox. drop-down controls a pushed to one pixel width.15:17
irgendwer4711anyone?15:50
xubuntu93wDoes anyone use WPS office or OnlyOffice over Libre?15:56
xubuntu93wI'm having issues with libreoffice being slow and buggy when using large powerpoint presentations15:57
xubuntu93wI need something that can handle large documents without lagging / crashing15:57
xubuntu75wHi I need help. My flash drive is mounting with lock icons over all of the files/content.16:44
xubuntu75wI think this means that it is read only.16:44
xubuntu75wBut I need to mount it completely to create a bootable iso for the latest release.16:44
tornado369Hello, I have a jar file on my desktop but I would change the archive icon with another one. Does anyone know how to solve it?17:04
xubuntu73wI installed the arc theme on 17.04, but it appears to be broken.17:53
xubuntu73wIs this because it hasn't yet been updated for the latest release?17:54
knomelikely so17:54
xubuntu73wOk17:54
xubuntu73wSo, how can I remove it17:54
knomehow did you install it?17:54
xubuntu73wI installed via this link: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=arc-theme17:54
xubuntu73wUsing the terminal commands given17:54
xubuntu73wI didn'17:54
xubuntu73w*I didn't input any of the commands in the second box though17:55
knomesudo apt-get remove arc-theme17:55
xubuntu73wwill that remove all of the files/directories as well?17:56
knomeanything that the install command added17:56
xubuntu73wThis isn't exactly related, but why is it that ubuntu/linux distributions remove software entirely, while windows tends to leave behind directories/folders/misc files?17:57
xubuntu73wAt least that's my understanding17:58
mrkrampsremove = everything except config, purge = everything except user config17:59
xubuntu73wso for a cleaner uninstall, I should purge?17:59
knomethemes do not have user configuration though17:59
xubuntu73woh17:59
mrkrampsknome, that's true17:59
xubuntu73wshould I autoremove/autoclean?18:00
mrkrampsxubuntu73w, autoremove --purge helps if you also want to uninstall dependencies18:00
xubuntu73wok18:00
xubuntu73wbut in this case, a theme wouldn't have any dependencies right?18:01
mrkrampsnormally not18:01
xubuntu73wok18:02
xubuntu73wthanks18:02
Artemis3some themes need gtk engine (gtk2)18:03
mrkrampsgood point18:04

HooblywooHi. I have a custom launcher in the Applications Menu which is missing in the "Edit Applications" menu. It was there a minute ago, but edited it a couple of times and now it's gone. Note that the menu item itself remains in the Multimedia menu where I left it... How can I... Well... Anything?20:03
knomeHooblywoo, the item has an invalid command, so it won't show up in menulibre (known bug)20:04
HooblywooAha.20:05
knomeHooblywoo, you can edit the .desktop file for the item and make the command valid and it will show up again20:05
HooblywooHow do I find the .desktop file? I was looking in /usr/share/applications...20:05
knometry ~/.local/share/applications20:06
knomethat's where all the custom (per-user) .desktop files are20:06

sybaWebgood evening! I'm a bit at loss as to where xubuntu live actually stores everything that appears as a real disk. Or rather, how to i see how much "disk space" i have, around /home/ and such?23:23
knomesybaWeb, "df -h" gives you information per mountpoint23:33
sybaWebknome: yeah, it was the choice of different entities there i was unsure about23:40
