| akis | hi all. could you please me advise me which is the recommended backup application for xubuntu which using less recources and is fast and reliable? | 04:14 |
|---|---|---|
| well_laid_lawn | I like rysnc | 04:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | for that | 04:17 |
| akis | well_laid_lawn: rysnc is it a terminal application only or a graphical too? | 04:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | I only know it as a terminal app | 04:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | someone might have built a gui interface for it somewhere ... | 04:22 |
| flocculant | grsync is in the repos | 04:23 |
| akis | well_laid_lawn: as far I can see it is already installed on my system by default. Is it recommended to install Grsync too to have a graphical interface ? | 04:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | you can try it and see | 04:24 |
| flocculant | you wanted a gui - so I told you what it was - up to you to decide whether to use it or not :) | 04:24 |
| akis | ok thanks. does rsunc can back both files and /home configuration so i can backup my system when i will clean install 18.04 ? | 04:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | you have to tell it what to back up | 04:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | but it can access the dot files in /home/you | 04:26 |
| akis | ok, i hope so, because the main reason i want to backup my system is to make more simple the clean installation of the new system under 18.04 and mainly the same configuration | 04:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | that should be easy enough | 04:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | s/easy/reliable/ | 04:30 |
| akis | ok, thank you for your help | 04:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 04:32 |
| nova_ | Hello. With my fresh install of 18.04, I have noticed that my customized Numix theme has issues with the menus bar in alot of programs. I thought that perhaps I should re-tweak the latest version of Numix instead. This has almost been successful, except I haven't been able to locate the menu bar background color setting.only affects some programs. I'm assuming that it boils down to a difference between gtk2 and gtk3, and | 07:20 |
| nova_ | I'm still digging for clues, but I thought I would see if anyone here is familiar with gtk2/3 theming, and could perhaps give me some clues. | 07:20 |
| pragomer1 | what package to install to get a preview of raw-images in thunar?? | 07:21 |
| nova_ | programs that continue to have the old menu bar color are, Firefox, Thunderbird, Terminal, Synaptic | 07:22 |
| Unit193 | nova_: Just to make sure, you are in fact grabbing the source and rebuilding sass? | 07:25 |
| Unit193 | pragomer1: tumbler-plugins-extra | 07:25 |
| nova_ | unit193: sorry im not sure what you mean | 07:26 |
| Unit193 | Numix's source needs ruby-sass to recompile, if you're trying to modify the generated theme you're doing it wrong. | 07:27 |
| nova_ | I just copied /usr/share/themes/Numix to /usr/share/themes/Numix-Tweaked and starting tweaking it | 07:28 |
| Unit193 | OK, yeah. That'd be editing the generated theme. | 07:28 |
| nova_ | so i should find numix on git and clone it and go from there? | 07:28 |
| Unit193 | Or the releases, but yeah I'd recommend that. | 07:28 |
| Unit193 | Heh, I too have edited Numix to make it darker, make the borders smaller, and changed the highlight color. :) | 07:29 |
| nova_ | my changed to the xfwm part of it work fine, and i think my changed to gtk-2.0 gtkrc worked too, but i think it's gtk-3.0 that is still an issue. | 07:30 |
| pragomer1 | Thank you very much Unit193 : tumbler-plugins-extra worked super for me ! | 07:30 |
| Unit193 | pragomer1: Great! | 07:30 |
| nova_ | yeah im actually making all the borders thicker because i can't get on board with the new ways to resize windows | 07:30 |
| nova_ | and im making it darker too, (#2d2d2d) | 07:30 |
| Unit193 | That is, the padding around everything was annoying. | 07:30 |
| Unit193 | nova_: In that case, perhaps take a look at my patch? | 07:30 |
| nova_ | sure I can take a look | 07:31 |
| nova_ | I use a 40 inch TV for a monitor so I like to have nice thick easy to grab borders | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/test/+files/numix-gtk-theme_2.6.7-3vanir1~18.04.debian.tar.xz should be in debian/patches/(3001-lower-padding.patch,3002-darker.patch,3003-red-highlights.patch) though you won't need that last one. | 07:33 |
| Unit193 | (Since you're touching the same areas for changing the color, though you want borders and I changed padding.) | 07:33 |
| nova_ | thank you ill take a look at it | 07:34 |
| Unit193 | I do hope it helps. | 07:34 |
| nova_ | heres and example what I have so far, and the troublesome menu bar | 07:34 |
| nova_ | https://pasteboard.co/HjAkGpZ.png | 07:34 |
| nova_ | Unit i've looked over your color change patch and your work looks pretty awesome, but I'm not familiar with patching. I'm also not sure that i need to make quite so many changes at this point. The xfwm changes I've already made, in fact I was just able to copy over my previous changes, the gtk2 changes seem to have worked...it's just the gtk 3.0 and potentially 3.20 part i need to tweak. I'm wondering if I can just add a | 08:09 |
| nova_ | couple css directives to the gtk-3.0/gtk.css below the "@import url("resource:///org/numixproject/gtk/dist/gtk.css");" line | 08:09 |
| drop_ | hello | 09:07 |
| drop_ | I am having trouble moving my screens in Display | 09:08 |
| drop_ | they all overlap and I cannot re-arrange them | 09:09 |
| drop_ | I did not have this issue with 17.10 | 09:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | drb1: what are you using to arrange the displays ? | 09:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | oops | 09:15 |
| drop_ | so I'm having trouble with mur i guess? | 10:10 |
| drop_ | I believe now is the time | 10:11 |
| nova_ | I tried to give my favorite gui text editor root powers with pkexec, after creating a .action file to allow it to work, it still stopped with a suggestion that it was a bad idea, but offered a way to still continue in spite of the warning. Is there any right way to use a gui text editor to make changes with root privledges? | 10:25 |
| nova_ | I would love to have a context menu option to open with Notepadqq as root in Thunar | 10:26 |

| pmjdebruijn | hey does xubuntu have a launcher/applist integrated dock thing? | 14:35 |
| GridCube | pmjdebruijn: the xfce panel does that by itself | 14:36 |
| GridCube | one of the panel presets has it pre configured as well | 14:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | you mean via Xfce Panel Switch? | 14:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | if so which? | 14:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | I meant like the OSX/Unity dock functionsi | 14:40 |
| lapaga | plank | 14:40 |
| pmjdebruijn | so an launcher is also the window list | 14:40 |
| GridCube | you can add an extra panel and add launchers to it | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's the integration i'm looking for | 14:41 |
| GridCube | you can make it so the panel auto hides, smartly or generally | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | nah | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | lapaga: plank seems nice | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | docky has a bit of a horrible dependancy thing going on | 14:41 |
| GridCube | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3KiwoOxfkg | 14:42 |
| GridCube | there is trully no need for any application beyond the panels | 14:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | that install awn? | 14:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | I don't see that video demonstrated the integration actually | 14:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | I'll take another look later today :) | 14:46 |
| GridCube | oh, you mean like dockbarx? pmjdebruijn? https://github.com/M7S/dockbarx | 14:51 |
| GridCube | it's not a default application however | 14:51 |
| GridCube | so no support is given for any damage it might cause to your system | 14:51 |
| hycer | lightdm is annoying, wrong resolution and wrong monitor...does anybody know how to fix double monitor + lightdm? | 16:35 |
| genii | hycer: Basically, you make some xrandr script which makes the alignment and default however you prefer, then put that into /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as something akin to: display-setup-script=/path/to/xrandrcommand.sh | 16:41 |
| FurretUber | On Display Settings, what the option Primary display should do? | 17:35 |
| genii | FurretUber: It should make that monitor the default one apps open up on, as well as the place taskbar gets placed first | 17:36 |
| genii | taskabar/panel/default DE interface interaction mechanism | 17:37 |
| FurretUber | Hmmm... I think the option is not working | 17:37 |
| FurretUber | The hint is working for the LibreOffice splash, but xfce4-panel ignores it | 17:40 |
| FurretUber | The windows open depending on which screen the mouse cursor is. The only thing that uses the Primary display setting is the LibreOffice splash screen, everything else ignores the option | 17:47 |
| FurretUber | Apparently xfce4-panel detects the option but in a improper way: the monitor where the panel is is the one most in left or above all others. xfce4-panel detects the "Primary display" by positioning the desktop icons. If the "Primary display" is not the one where the xfce4-panel is, the panel covers the desktop icons | 18:24 |
