| BoneTone | i have an issue i cannot seem to resolve. I have created some shortcuts on my desktop to folders from a file share on another machine. when i double click them it tells me that no default application is set to handle smb:// however, when i right-click, choose open with and check the box to set as default, the setting doesn't stick, future double clicks keep giving me the same error | 04:11 |
|---|---|---|
| BoneTone | i've tried using both pcmanfm and thunar to no avail | 04:12 |
| tsimonq2 | BoneTone: You'd probably be looking for the defaults in the system settings | 04:13 |
| BoneTone | i do not see any smb:// in default applications under system preferences, i tried settting it for Network GUI and still no luck | 04:15 |
| BoneTone | is there another system settings than clicking on the launcher menu / preferences / default applications for lxsession? | 04:17 |
| tsimonq2 | You could try using the terminal and setting xdg-mime settings (I think);. | 04:17 |
| tsimonq2 | wxl might know. | 04:17 |
| BoneTone | sorry if i'm slow to reply, i have to keep bouncing the input on my monitor back & forth, i have lubuntu on a different computer that I'm setting up for the living htpc, so it's just temporarily connected to my desktop monitor | 04:20 |
| BoneTone | so, xdg-mime, i'll look into that | 04:20 |
| BoneTone | basically, just want an easy way for my fiancee and guests to be able to launch a file browser directly into a movies folder, or documentary folder, etc. | 04:21 |
| BoneTone | which these are all stored on a nas | 04:21 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh, I see | 04:21 |
| BoneTone | well, i fixed it, basically pcmanfm fails when creating the link, but thunar does it correctly | 04:25 |
| BoneTone | i just deleted the ones i created with pcmanfm and tried creating it with thunar and it works | 04:25 |
| BoneTone | dunno why PCManFM fails at this task, but it's all good, I wanted to use Thunar anyways | 04:25 |
| tsimonq2 | wxl? :) | 04:25 |
| BoneTone | he's away at the moment | 04:29 |
| BoneTone | just to give him/her full info on how they were created in PCManFM I dragged & dropped the network folder to the Desktop, which created the icon with the shortcut on it, in Thunar, I right clicked on the folder and chose send to > Desktop, which created the icon with the folder on it. perhaps there is a different in what is being created. | 04:31 |
| BoneTone | i'll pop my head in a bit later to see if s/he has any questions, but working on the set up of my lubuntu system which prevents me from seeing this computer, actually typing this message blind | 04:32 |
| BoneTone | another quick question, i don't see xscreensaver in the lubuntu software center. is there a package that can do photo slideshow screensaver? cinnamon-screensaver? | 04:34 |
| tsimonq2 | BoneTone: Try using GNOME Software (which is what we ship in later Lubuntu versions) :) | 04:36 |
| BoneTone | i've got the 16.04 lts version at the moment, but i'll look into it, so xscreensaver isn't available in the repos? i can probably build it i guess | 04:47 |
| BoneTone | having something is pretty essential since this tv exhibits burn-in... don't let anyone ever tell you that LCDs don't burn-in. i like to have it display my photography in a slideshow ideally, but just blanking the screen will get the job done, which i can do with the locker i believe | 04:49 |
| tsimonq2 | Yes, xscreensaver is available :) | 04:49 |
| tsimonq2 | Try sudo apt install xscreensaver | 04:49 |
| BoneTone | it is? am i searching for it wrong in the software center? | 04:49 |
| tsimonq2 | Try the terminal :) | 04:49 |
| BoneTone | ok, yeah, i can do that, just strange that i don't see it in the software center | 04:50 |
| BoneTone | yup, will do | 04:50 |
| tsimonq2 | Right :/ | 04:50 |
| tsimonq2 | Cool | 04:50 |
| BoneTone | thank you | 04:50 |
| tsimonq2 | You're welcome :) | 04:50 |
| BoneTone | i got it working, great, definitely cannot leave the desktop showing for a long time otherwise we'll be looking at it while watching a movie | 04:56 |

| BoneTone | i'm trying to find where lxde/lubuntu stores it's right-click on the desktop menu file initially... | 20:15 |
| BoneTone | it's not in .config/openbox/ or /etc/xdg/openbox | 20:15 |
| BoneTone | i mean, i know it'll work with .config/openbox/menu.xml once i create that file, but i want to grab the current one to see the entries it has now | 20:16 |
| BoneTone | the one in /etc/xdg/openbox is different than what is being loaded | 20:16 |
| Qas | hello there, lubuntu downloads contain this file : SHA256SUMS.gpg..what am I supposed to do with this file? I mean, is it to verify iso? | 20:52 |
| wxl | yep | 20:52 |
| Qas | is it different from sha256sum verification? | 20:52 |
| wxl | you can use the ubuntu key to verify the sums are correct and then use the sums to check that the hashes of the iso are correct | 20:52 |
| wxl | so... yes and no | 20:52 |
| Qas | so I can use sha256sums.gpg file to verify that the sums in sha256sum file are correct? | 20:53 |
| wxl | no you can use the ubuntu public key to verify those are the right hashes | 20:53 |
| wxl | and then the sha256sum can be used to verify the iso | 20:53 |
| Qas | then what am I going to use the gpg file for? still dont understand | 20:54 |
| wxl | https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0 | 20:55 |
| Qas | how am I going to "Ggt the key used for the signature from the Ubuntu key server"? | 20:56 |
| Qas | get* | 20:56 |
| wxl | you follow the instructions | 20:56 |
| wxl | there's a little right arrow to page through the sections | 20:56 |
| Qas | ah right | 20:57 |
| Qas | verified! :) before I wrote here I'd verified them, but just was a bit intuitive, so I wasnt sure. I'd used gpg -d shasum256.gpg, and it'd given the two key fingerprints, too | 21:03 |
| Qas | the rest was the same with gpg --verify | 21:03 |
| Qas | thank you for your help, and for the linked page, wxl! | 21:04 |
| Qas | bye, happy new year! :) | 21:09 |
| BoneTone | sorry, i had a network issue, dunno if anyone replied to my question about where the menu.xml file is that is initially used by lxde for the right-click on the desktop menu | 22:01 |
