[04:11] 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 [04:12] i've tried using both pcmanfm and thunar to no avail [04:13] BoneTone: You'd probably be looking for the defaults in the system settings [04:15] i do not see any smb:// in default applications under system preferences, i tried settting it for Network GUI and still no luck [04:17] is there another system settings than clicking on the launcher menu / preferences / default applications for lxsession? [04:17] You could try using the terminal and setting xdg-mime settings (I think);. [04:17] wxl might know. [04:20] 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] so, xdg-mime, i'll look into that [04:21] 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] which these are all stored on a nas [04:21] Oh, I see [04:25] well, i fixed it, basically pcmanfm fails when creating the link, but thunar does it correctly [04:25] i just deleted the ones i created with pcmanfm and tried creating it with thunar and it works [04:25] dunno why PCManFM fails at this task, but it's all good, I wanted to use Thunar anyways [04:25] wxl? :) [04:29] he's away at the moment [04:31] 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. [04:32] 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 [04:34] 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? [04:36] BoneTone: Try using GNOME Software (which is what we ship in later Lubuntu versions) :) [04:47] 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 [04:49] 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] Yes, xscreensaver is available :) [04:49] Try sudo apt install xscreensaver [04:49] it is? am i searching for it wrong in the software center? [04:49] Try the terminal :) [04:50] ok, yeah, i can do that, just strange that i don't see it in the software center [04:50] yup, will do [04:50] Right :/ [04:50] Cool [04:50] thank you [04:50] You're welcome :) [04:56] 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 [10:44] Hello [10:44] Msg NickServ [10:45] Who do i install lubuntu without cd or usb ? [10:45] Any volunteers plz [10:47] Live lo vuntey reply ichhi saavandi [10:47] Yerri puukas [10:48] Yevari modda cheekutunnaru ra meeri [10:48] Lanzas ppl say hi [10:48] Na sulli evaru cheekutaru [10:48] ?? [10:49] You [20:15] i'm trying to find where lxde/lubuntu stores it's right-click on the desktop menu file initially... [20:15] it's not in .config/openbox/ or /etc/xdg/openbox [20:16] 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] the one in /etc/xdg/openbox is different than what is being loaded [20:52] 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] yep [20:52] is it different from sha256sum verification? [20:52] 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] so... yes and no [20:53] so I can use sha256sums.gpg file to verify that the sums in sha256sum file are correct? [20:53] no you can use the ubuntu public key to verify those are the right hashes [20:53] and then the sha256sum can be used to verify the iso [20:54] then what am I going to use the gpg file for? still dont understand [20:55] https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0 [20:56] how am I going to "Ggt the key used for the signature from the Ubuntu key server"? [20:56] get* [20:56] you follow the instructions [20:56] there's a little right arrow to page through the sections [20:57] ah right [21:03] 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] the rest was the same with gpg --verify [21:04] thank you for your help, and for the linked page, wxl! [21:09] bye, happy new year! :) [22:01] 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
