| wexx | just installed lubuntu on my old pc, and I'm a linux beginner | 13:38 |
| diogenes_ | nice | 13:39 |
| diogenes_ | congrats | 13:39 |
| wexx | hehe thanks | 13:39 |
| wexx | trying to make it look a bit better, you have any tips? | 13:40 |
| diogenes_ | depends on what meaning you out in "better" | 13:40 |
| wexx | A bit more colourful ;p | 13:42 |

| cristian__c | hello | 15:51 |
| cristian__c | I've installed dropbox but applet doesn't show dropbox icon and it's not working | 15:51 |
| cristian__c | I've created a new autostart entry changing dropbox launch command | 15:52 |
| cristian__c | unfortunately, dropbox default autostart is often enabled by the system, even if I disable it by lxsession | 15:52 |
| cristian__c | I've tried some workarounds but I don't know how to delete default dropbox autostart entry (in order to use custom new dropbox launch autostart) | 15:52 |
| cristian__c | any ideas? | 15:52 |
| diogenes_ | cristian__c, /etc/xdg/autostart | 16:00 |
| cristian__c | yeah, I0ve looked at it too | 16:00 |
| cristian__c | but, I found dropbpx entry in .config/autostart | 16:00 |
| cristian__c | *dropbox | 16:01 |
| diogenes_ | rename both and add your custom | 16:01 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: I've tried to change Exec command in .desktop file | 16:02 |
| cristian__c | it seems my changes are overwritten by OS after a bit | 16:02 |
| diogenes_ | i doubt they are | 16:03 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: I confirm: /etc/xdg/autostart doesn't include dropbox .desktop | 16:04 |
| diogenes_ | maybe it's a service, systemctl status dropbox | 16:06 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: about .config/autostart/dropbpx.desktop, Exec= line is currently: dropbpx start -i | 16:06 |
| cristian__c | but lxde/lubuntu doesn't accept dropbpx applet, so, applet appears just by using another command | 16:07 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: ok, I try systemctl to see | 16:07 |
| cristian__c | ok, result: | 16:08 |
| cristian__c | dropbox.service | 16:08 |
| cristian__c | Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) | 16:08 |
| cristian__c | Active inactive (dead) | 16:09 |
| cristian__c | unfortunately, lxsession doesn't allow to delete entries inside its gui | 16:09 |
| diogenes_ | cristian__c, ok if you run your sudtom command in terminal, do you get your desired effect? | 16:09 |
| diogenes_ | custom* | 16:10 |
| cristian__c | yeah, I've also added it as custom manual autostarted application | 16:10 |
| cristian__c | in Lxsession co figuration -> Autostart -> Manual autostarted applications | 16:11 |
| cristian__c | my custom entry is: dbus-launch dropbox start | 16:11 |
| diogenes_ | cristian__c, and if you open dropbox app and look through the settings and disable autostart? | 16:12 |
| cristian__c | but if Dropbox entry is checked (inside Known applications table), my custom entry doesn't work | 16:12 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: I've tried to see dropbpx settings in past | 16:12 |
| cristian__c | I look at it again | 16:12 |
| cristian__c | I've right-clicked dropbox app,et and then Pteferences->General | 16:13 |
| cristian__c | in System, 'Start Dropbox at system boot' is not checked | 16:14 |
| cristian__c | but Dropbox entry is checked in lxsession configuration gui, oddly | 16:14 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: I don't know if ypu need a screenshot | 16:16 |
| cristian__c | *you | 16:17 |
| diogenes_ | ok, remove all the entries that have dropbox in ~/.config/autostart | 16:17 |
| diogenes_ | run: vi ~/.config/autostart/mydropbox.desktop | 16:17 |
| diogenes_ | there you write: | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | [Desktop Entry] | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | Name = My Dropbox | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | Type = Application | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | Categories = Network; | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | Icon = lubuntu | 16:18 |
| diogenes_ | Exec = sh -c "<your command>" | 16:19 |
| cristian__c | .comfig/autostart includes just: Lockscreen, GSettings data convert, Gnome settings daemon, Dropbox, Indicator Application, LXRandR autostart .desktop files | 16:19 |
| diogenes_ | save, close and run: chmod +x ~/.config/autostart/mydropbox.desktop | 16:19 |
| cristian__c | ok, but why 'sh -c'? | 16:19 |
| cristian__c | ah, ok, sorry | 16:19 |
| diogenes_ | that's more reliable | 16:20 |
| diogenes_ | with sh -c ".." | 16:20 |
| cristian__c | I'm fear OS will create again Dropbox default entry if I delete the default one and I add my custom .desktop file | 16:21 |
| cristian__c | btw. | 16:21 |
| cristian__c | I try your tip, btw | 16:21 |
| diogenes_ | we'll see, after reboot what happens | 16:21 |
| cristian__c | it could happen after some reboots/sessions too | 16:22 |
| cristian__c | (system update) | 16:22 |
| cristian__c | *updates | 16:22 |
| cristian__c | *updates | 16:23 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: a new entry named 'Fixed Dropbox' is appearing inside Known applications of lxsession gui | 16:29 |
| cristian__c | now, I reboot | 16:29 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 16:30 |
| cristian__c | I'm back again | 16:32 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: Os has added again Dropbox entry in lxsession gui table | 16:33 |
| diogenes_ | ok that's weird | 16:34 |
| cristian__c | so, I don't know how to remove it | 16:34 |
| diogenes_ | try this: find /etc/ -type f 2>/dev/null | grep dropbox | 16:34 |
| cristian__c | ok | 16:35 |
| diogenes_ | that will look for any dropbox in /etc because that's the usual place where applications get their configs | 16:35 |
| cristian__c | ok, found, 1 line result | 16:36 |
| cristian__c | /etc/apt/spurces.list.d/dropbpx.list | 16:37 |
| cristian__c | *dropbpx.list | 16:37 |
| cristian__c | *dropbox | 16:37 |
| cristian__c | not good news | 16:37 |
| diogenes_ | yeah that's not what we need | 16:37 |
| cristian__c | I'm looking for dropbox in package manager | 16:38 |
| wxl | doesn't exist; it's proprietary software | 16:38 |
| cristian__c | Proprperties | 16:38 |
| cristian__c | -p | 16:38 |
| cristian__c | Installed files | 16:38 |
| diogenes_ | have a look here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dropbox | 16:39 |
| cristian__c | /usr/bin ....; /usr/lib .... , libnautilus-dropbpx.so | 16:40 |
| cristian__c | I've got the opposite issue (about archlinux wiki) | 16:41 |
| cristian__c | Note: When using any of these methods, you need to prevent Dropbox from doing a standard autostart by unchecking Dropbox - Preferences - General - Start Dropbox on system startup. This prevents Dropbox from creating the ~/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop file and thus from starting twice. | 16:49 |
| cristian__c | from archlinux wiki page. | 16:49 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: unfortunately, as told earlier, this option is already not checked | 16:50 |
| diogenes_ | cristian__c, well, what can you say about proprietary stuff, they do what they want and you can't figure it out what is it doing | 16:52 |
| cristian__c | yeah, and I don't find a way to prevent it to add the entry over and over | 16:52 |
| diogenes_ | there is one way but it's a radical way | 16:53 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: I know this issue happens o lxde but not in unity/gnome (and maybe kde) | 16:53 |
| cristian__c | http://blog.pengyifan.com/dropbox-icon-is-not-working-xubuntu-16-04-lts/ | 16:54 |
| cristian__c | ' The reason is that Dropbox starts to use “indicator area” for their tray icon instead of “notification area”' | 16:55 |
| diogenes_ | ChanServ, there is a way to prevent it to write to a folder by running: sudo chattr +i /path/to/folder so that way it will have all the files inside of the folder intact, nothing to be removed and nothing to be added | 16:57 |
| diogenes_ | but kater don't forget to run: sudo chattr -i /folder to make it r/w again | 16:57 |
| diogenes_ | later* | 16:57 |
| cristian__c | diogenes_: Could change dropbox Exec line in dropbox.desktop and use chattr +i? | 16:59 |
| cristian__c | *could I | 16:59 |
| diogenes_ | yep | 16:59 |
| cristian__c | *chattr +i command after .desktop change | 16:59 |
| diogenes_ | yes, try that | 16:59 |
| diogenes_ | and reboot | 16:59 |
| cristian__c | ok | 16:59 |
