| senpos | hello | 11:27 |
| senpos | I've heard that Ubuntu 17.04 now creates swap file and does not require swap partition. Does this apply to Xubuntu 16.04? | 11:31 |
| flocculant | senpos: no it doesn't - also if when you install there is an existing swap partition that will get used instead of a swap file being created | 11:39 |
| senpos | flocculant: thanks for answer | 11:41 |
| senpos | Another thing i'd like to know: is it possible to install xfce4-xbk-plugin with ability to set "System" font? I've seen this on my friend's laptop with Arch | 11:42 |

| vimart | Hi mates | 14:57 |
| diogenes_ | hi | 14:58 |
| vimart | I try to find a way to enable mouse in vim - xfce terminal. I do need to cut sometimes a lot of line of text and holding BACKSPACE for a few minutes is not so cool :-) | 14:59 |
| vimart | Hi diogenes_ | 14:59 |
| diogenes_ | vimart, to delete a whole line in vim you double press d | 15:00 |
| vimart | diogenes_: thats fine but what about higlighting text to copy etc. | 15:13 |
| vimart | Long time ago (over 15years) I had configured terminal and was able to operate on vim with mouse. | 15:14 |
| diogenes_ | vimart, to highlight and copy you press down v and right arrow | 15:14 |
| diogenes_ | and besides, it's not a xubuntu question, you should have read vim manuals | 15:15 |
| diogenes_ | run in terminal: man vim | 15:15 |
| vimart | egh, nah why bother with reading when you can ask ;-) | 15:17 |
| vimart | Thanks for advice however you did not understand the question. | 15:17 |
| vimart | Diogenes I want to use mouse not a keyboard | 15:18 |
| vimart | BTW its very related with Xubuntu because it's relevant with xfce Terminal in Xubuntu GNU/Linux | 15:19 |
| knome | vimart, it's really a vim question though | 15:21 |
| knome | vimart, with your rationale, xubuntu users could ask for legal advice because they are lawyers and run xubuntu... | 15:22 |
| vimart | Knome: IMHO you don't know the answer that why you say so | 15:23 |
| vimart | It'd be rather fine if you said: sorry pal, we don't know etc | 15:24 |
| knome | maybe you could find out if there was a vim channel or sth? | 15:24 |
| knome | xfce terminal should handle mouse input as much as terminal emulator usually do | 15:25 |
| vimart | If somebody asked you about any other software problem that you know the answer, sollution you'd give the advice without blinking and saying to go to another channel | 15:25 |
| knome | why waste your time arguing? :) | 15:26 |
| knome | i'm trying to be helpful, but you also need to remember everybody on this channel is a volunteer | 15:26 |
| vimart | knome: it's not arguing, its chatting. I don't know how long your on IRC but simply you can ignore it if you do not wish a part. | 15:27 |
| vimart | knome: cool mate I'm not excpecting you to know everything :-) | 15:27 |
| knome | i've been on IRC for 17 years and i'm a channel operator for this channel, so please stop arguing... :P | 15:27 |
| vimart | wow mate, you must be the king in your suburb. 17-years on IRC and operator for this channel :-) | 15:28 |
| vimart | BTW let me say it: when XUBUNTU was relased? | 15:29 |
| diogenes_ | vimart, I think that command line text editors is not for a person who doesn't want to learn and looks for ready-made answers only, I think you should be using something like: gksu leafpad | 15:29 |
| vimart | Mate Im using linux since early 90's | 15:29 |
| knome | vimart, please see my PM | 15:29 |
| knome | and for the non-support question chatter, please use #xubuntu-offtopic | 15:30 |
| diogenes_ | vimart, but you look like a noob | 15:30 |
| vimart | It's not about using the command lines :-) | 15:30 |
| knome | diogenes_, please do not put fire into flames | 15:30 |
| vimart | I've got just problem with not working mouse in terminal | 15:30 |
| vimart | mostly need the mouse in VIM | 15:30 |
| vimart | the command line I knowe very well | 15:31 |
| diogenes_ | knome, I'm not tolerating people who don't tplerate others | 15:31 |
| diogenes_ | goodbye to all | 15:32 |
| vimart | Anyway, found a problem. Hell knows why I've disabled the mouse | 15:32 |
| vimart | bye diogenes_ Have a nice day ;-) | 15:33 |
| vimart | see ya pals | 15:50 |
| dannyman | Hello. What is the preferred mechanism for bug reports? | 16:52 |
| dannyman | I switched to xubuntu yesterday and I'm digging it, but I have two bugs. | 16:52 |
| krytarik | !bugs | dannyman | 16:52 |
| ubottu | dannyman: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 16:52 |
| dannyman | Thanks! | 17:01 |
| kikiki | hi, is there a german channel for xubuntu? | 20:07 |
| krytarik | !de | kikiki | 20:08 |
| ubottu | kikiki: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! | 20:08 |
| kikiki | thx | 20:08 |
| kikiki | so what windows compatible app should I run to create a live usb of a linux distro? | 20:12 |
| elky | kikiki: unetbootin should be sufficient. there are probably others that are more preferred but i've lost track | 20:16 |
| kikiki | good, | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | I always thought LiveLinuxUSB creator was very good at what it did. | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | (https://www.linuxliveusb.com/) | 20:17 |
| kikiki | I am now on a library and have a notebook, empty, and no working live usb. every computer I can use requires admin privileges to install unetbooting or rufus. Is there any way of making a live usb without requiring admin privileges? | 20:17 |
| elky | kikiki: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/unetbootin-portable perhaps? not used it so can't say for sure | 20:19 |
| kikiki | heart beating faster now... | 20:20 |
| kikiki | crap, unetbooting alse requires admin privileges on public computers... | 20:22 |
