[03:58] <david3x3x3_> is there a way to get the Nvidia binary driver working? when I install it with the latest release of Xubuntu, it fails to start.
[13:02] <laceylaney> HI guys. Wondering if anyone here can help me. First time using conky and I'm trying to make everything show on one line. I've kind of sort of got what I want but the thing is that whenever it refreshes the text appears all glitchy and what not. Heres a link to my config file >>>> https://paste.ubuntu.com/26451109/
[13:03] <laceylaney> Also don't know how to change the length of the battery bar....
[18:09] <frad> does xubuntu have an option to charge a battery just to 80% or 70%, not all the way to 100%?
[19:26] <knome> frad, no, batteries are charged when you plug in a cord with power
[19:26] <frad> ok thx
[19:26] <knome> frad, it's possible to send a notification when a battery is charged to some percentage
[19:26] <knome> if that helps
[19:27] <frad> sounds interesting
[19:27] <frad> command?
[19:27] <knome> i don't know that from the top of my head, but the system does know what the battery level is - or at least can poll it from the battery
[19:28] <knome> and i need to go put my son to sleep
[19:28] <knome> bbl
[19:30] <frad> bye
[20:35] <fishie> I have application launchers in my menu that don't work, but they don't appear in my Xubuntu menu editor. How do I delete them?
[20:37] <knome> that bug is fixed in the newest version of the menu editor, but until you upgrade to that, look in ~/.local/share/applications
[20:37] <flocculant> fishie: find them in .local/share/applications/
[20:37] <flocculant> lol
[20:39] <fishie> flocculant, ah, thank you very much! I'm not familiar with these details & couldn't find the right web search terms.
[20:39] <flocculant> np
[20:41] <fishie> ... this is strange. I had two with the same name but deleting the file only gets rid of the newer one that works.
[20:42] <fishie> hm. I guess one of those "menulibre-new-launcher.desktop"s was it.
[20:45] <rumflump> anyone know when 18.04 comes out?
[20:45] <knome> like, april 2018?
[20:45] <rumflump> exciting
[20:45] <knome> the detailed release schedule for ubuntu (and all flavors including xubuntu) can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule
[20:45] <rumflump> thanks!
[20:46] <knome> so if everything goes right (or at least nothing goes awfully wrong), the release date is april 26th
[20:46] <knome> release numbers are always year.month: 18.04 -> 2018.april
[20:46] <rumflump> so I might as well stay on 17.10, rather than try to go to 16.04
[20:47] <knome> depends on the situation, but if you can wait, sure, i'd do that
[20:47] <rumflump> either way, they'll be picking 18.04 as the next do-release-upgrade?
[20:48] <rumflump> one of my 32 bit netbooks got weird when I went from 17.04 to 17.10; I'll try reinstalling .10 since I have the iso already
[20:48] <knome> yes
[20:48] <knome> for 18.04 being the next upgrade target
[20:48] <rumflump> cool, thanks a bunch!
[21:48] <CoderEurope> :D
