pmjdebru1jnThe_Milkman: you got an answer06:33
pmjdebru1jnbut as I said, using out of tree filesystems is at it's core, a bad idea06:34
pmjdebru1jnyou really shouldn't even remotely have to deal with issues like this, to be able to access your data :)06:34
_thelion_Hello, I've a problem with Thunar: if I want to open a terminal in the current directory, the terminal opens in my home directory.07:48
_thelion_I've tried something this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/891680/xubuntu-thunar-open-terminal-here-opens-konsole-in-homefolder ... without any changes.07:49
_thelion_e.g.: I'm working in /home/.../Downloads ... I click on "open a terminal here" and the terminal opens in my home folder.07:56

flocculant5 minutes isn't patience12:52
Javabeanhello Levik, please don't PM the users in this room for help.  the knowledge you need is known to someone in here but, if they answer your question in a PM then no one else will learn.  please be patient, someone will show up and see your question.12:52
flocculantI'd try using #ubuntu - more people around - also - if you've got problems doing it - you need to tell them exactly what the issue it12:52
flocculantnobody is psychic12:52
Leviki need boot and install xubuntu 18.04 over pxe12:55
Leviki use spacewalk system12:56
flocculantright - so as I said - try #ubuntu, type /join #ubuntu where you're typing and a new tab will open - ask in there, more people are around12:56
pita_Hi all,  I turned off the 'show menu bar' in the folder menu. Now that the menu bar isn't showing, I need to restore it. But how? Shortcut or command line?13:35
flocculantCtrl+M I believe13:36
flocculantyea13:37
pita_flocculant---thanks, it works, what a relief!13:46
pita_flocculant---I spent 3 hours searching for the answer before giving up and going to bed!! Where did you find this info?13:47
flocculantfrom thunar without the menu bar hidden lol13:50
flocculantbut it comes up in a web search13:51
pita_flocculant, i never found it in a web search!!! I just searched for "meaning of control + M in linux" and it still didn't show!13:55
flocculantoh right - well I searched for thunar hide menu bar :D13:55
flocculantanyway - if you do it again and forget - the other thing you can do (and forget :p ) is F10 temporarily shows the menu bar and you can re-enable it :)13:56
flocculanthave a good day13:56
pita_flocculant, thanks again!!!!13:57
flocculantno problem :)13:58
pita_Is there a way to change the icon size in the folders only (globally)? The desktop icons are fine. But my icons inside the folders are very small. I did something last night, by accident while I was in a folder, and all the icons shrunk!14:45
drleviathanpita_, are you talking about in the file browser?  Perhaps you accidentally selected in the menu?  View --> View as Compact List14:49
drleviathanif so, try:   View --> View as Icons14:49
pita_ok14:50
drleviathanalternatively, you can zoom out/in14:50
pita_I misclicked on something when I was in the folder, but can't figure out what I did!14:51
pita_I just checked under 'view', I had the 'view as icons' enabled-so that isn't the reason.14:52
drleviathanpita_, try View --> Zoom Out/In14:53
pita_OK, the zoom in worked-and I would have tried it before.....except I thought I needed a global change, and I didn't realize the 'zoom in' was global.14:55
pita_drleviathan: thanks, I owe you coffee or a pint! Regards!14:56
drleviathanI'm glad I could help.  Pay it forward.14:56
* genii 's ears wiggle for a moment at the word "coffee"14:59
pita_drleviathan: I do pay it forward, it's my way! I have a small group of locals that are converting to linux, and I am the 'local' help for them! It keeps me busy...but feeling good about helping others!15:16

drleviathanDunno what is wrong with the Software app.  I never use it.22:57
jay-mIts OK. I found the package name (Icedtea plugin) using apt-cache search22:59
jay-mThe apt link pointed to version 7 (iceadtea-7-plugin)22:59
jay-mbut that wasn't found in the official repo23:00
