[12:00] <plaindave> How do I check the speed of my USB ports in Xubuntu? E.g., USB 3.0.
[14:31] <maieul> holla
[14:31] <maieul> I am currently moving from mac to xubunut
[14:31] <maieul> I have many question
[14:32] <maieul> first of one is : is there a shortcut to show all the workspaces/to know the name of the current workspace
[15:34] <FernandoBasso> maieul, You can enable workspace plugin on the task bar, configure how many workspaces you want, their names (I believe so), and set a shortcut for `xfdesktop --windowlist`.
[15:38] <maieul> how can I do that?
[15:39] <maieul> where can I configure the task bar?
[15:47] <FernandoBasso> What distro? You probably need to install xfce4-goodies.
[15:48] <FernandoBasso> Anyways, right-click on panel, and take a look on panel-preferences -> itens.
[15:49]  * FernandoBasso is going to have lunch. I'll be back later.
[15:50] <maieul> xubunut
[16:00] <maieul> How can I install the goodies?
[16:42] <FernandoBasso> sudo apt install xfce4-goodies
[16:43] <maieul> done
[16:43] <maieul> there is some much thing that are not installed
[16:44] <maieul> and now?
[16:44] <maieul> what should I done?
[16:47] <FernandoBasso> Right click on the panel and start fiddling with stuff.
[16:47] <FernandoBasso> If you ever mess up too much you can just remove (or move away) ~/.config/xfce4/
[16:47] <maieul> what do you mean by paneL? the top barre
[16:47] <maieul> ?
[16:48] <FernandoBasso> Yep.
[16:48] <FernandoBasso> right-click -> panel-preferences -> items
[16:49] <maieul> yep
[16:49] <maieul> find
[16:49] <maieul> thanks
[16:50] <FernandoBasso> One is glad to be of service.
[16:51] <maieul> the tools is not veru useful, the workspace are too tiny to be seen
[16:54] <maieul> oh
[16:54] <maieul> I understand well what I can doo
[16:55] <maieul> yes, it will be nice

[17:00] <maieul> is it possible to del that some application must always used in one workspace?
[18:38] <PlainDave> how do I install a program that comes in GZip format? After I unpack, where do I put the files?
[18:42] <well_laid_lawn> does it have a readme or install script?
[18:43] <well_laid_lawn> if not generally /usr/local/bin is used
[18:43] <PlainDave> I read the readme, but there wasn't any install info
[18:44] <well_laid_lawn> since there is only me using this computer I added ~/bin to $PATH for any programs I use that aren't from the repos
[18:49] <PlainDave> well_laid_lawn, I just tried to cut and paste into usr/local/bin, but it wouldn't let me. Do I do it in terminal?
[18:54] <well_laid_lawn> you'll need to use admin rights - sudo in a terminal is easiest imo
[18:54] <PlainDave> okay cool. thanks.
[18:54] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[19:06] <PlainDave> well_laid_lawn, Just one more question. After moving files, do I need to reboot?
[19:06] <well_laid_lawn> nope
[19:07] <maieul> how could I show my keyboard layout
[19:07] <PlainDave> okay thanks
[19:07] <maieul> with a "graphics" representing the keyboard with the letter affected to
[19:07] <maieul> ?
[19:15] <well_laid_lawn> maieul:  does this help https://askubuntu.com/questions/930006/keyboard-layout-popup-xfce ?
[19:15] <maieul> non
[19:15] <maieul> what I need is to see all the touch
[19:15] <maieul> and which letter is in which touche
[19:19] <well_laid_lawn> I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to try a french channel?
[19:20] <well_laid_lawn> !fr
[19:20] <ubottu> Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci.
[19:21] <maieul> well
[19:21] <maieul> yes
[19:23] <well_laid_lawn> good luck :)
[21:23] <plaindave> How can I upgrade from 16.04 to 17.10?
[21:25] <knome> select to upgrade to any new version, then run a normal upgrade and it should suggest you this
[21:25] <plaindave> You mean "sudo apt upgrade"?
[21:26] <knome> no, "sudo do-release-upgrade" if you want to do it from the command line
[21:26] <plaindave> okay. thanks.
