[11:27] <senpos> hello
[11:31] <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?
[11:39] <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
[11:41] <senpos> flocculant: thanks for answer
[11:42] <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
[12:06] <unamed> hello

[14:57] <vimart> Hi mates
[14:58] <diogenes_> hi
[14:59] <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_
[15:00] <diogenes_> vimart, to delete a whole line in vim you double press d
[15:13] <vimart> diogenes_: thats fine but what about higlighting text to copy etc.
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <diogenes_> and besides, it's not a xubuntu question, you should have read vim manuals
[15:15] <diogenes_> run in terminal: man vim
[15:17] <vimart> egh, nah why bother with reading when you can ask ;-)
[15:17] <vimart> Thanks for advice however you did not understand the question.
[15:18] <vimart> Diogenes I want to use mouse not a keyboard
[15:19] <vimart> BTW its very related with Xubuntu because it's relevant with xfce Terminal in Xubuntu GNU/Linux
[15:21] <knome> vimart, it's really a vim question though
[15:22] <knome> vimart, with your rationale, xubuntu users could ask for legal advice because they are lawyers and run xubuntu...
[15:23] <vimart> Knome: IMHO you don't know the answer that why you say so
[15:24] <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?
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <vimart> wow mate, you must be the king in your suburb. 17-years on IRC and operator for this channel :-)
[15:29] <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
[15:30] <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
[15:31] <vimart> the command line I knowe very well
[15:31] <diogenes_> knome, I'm not tolerating people who don't tplerate others
[15:32] <diogenes_> goodbye to all
[15:32] <vimart> Anyway, found a problem. Hell knows why I've disabled the mouse
[15:33] <vimart> bye diogenes_ Have a nice day ;-)
[15:50] <vimart> see ya pals
[16:52] <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
[17:01] <dannyman> Thanks!
[20:07] <kikiki> hi, is there a german channel for xubuntu?
[20:08] <krytarik> !de | kikiki
[20:08] <kikiki> thx
[20:12] <kikiki> so what windows compatible app should I run to create a live usb of a linux distro?
[20:16] <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.
[20:17] <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?
[20:19] <elky> kikiki: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/unetbootin-portable perhaps? not used it so can't say for sure
[20:20] <kikiki> heart beating faster now...
[20:22] <kikiki> crap, unetbooting alse requires admin privileges on public computers...
[21:12] <vimart> Hi
[21:46] <xubuntu51w> hi everyone
