[13:35] some pros some cons [13:38] you run lubuntu right? [13:38] just installed lubuntu on my old pc, and I'm a linux beginner [13:39] nice [13:39] congrats [13:39] hehe thanks [13:40] trying to make it look a bit better, you have any tips? [13:40] depends on what meaning you out in "better" [13:42] A bit more colourful ;p [13:44] wexx, maybe here you can find something useful: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=customize+lxde [13:46] will take a look at that. [13:46] thanks [13:49] yw [14:24] hello,is anyone there [14:25] sam1321, 62 people [14:26] are you an bot or a real person? [14:26] me <=== bot [14:26] finally someone who i can talk to [15:51] hello [15:51] I've installed dropbox but applet doesn't show dropbox icon and it's not working [15:52] I've created a new autostart entry changing dropbox launch command [15:52] unfortunately, dropbox default autostart is often enabled by the system, even if I disable it by lxsession [15:52] 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] any ideas? [16:00] cristian__c, /etc/xdg/autostart [16:00] yeah, I0ve looked at it too [16:00] but, I found dropbpx entry in .config/autostart [16:01] *dropbox [16:01] rename both and add your custom [16:02] diogenes_: I've tried to change Exec command in .desktop file [16:02] it seems my changes are overwritten by OS after a bit [16:03] i doubt they are [16:04] diogenes_: I confirm: /etc/xdg/autostart doesn't include dropbox .desktop [16:06] maybe it's a service, systemctl status dropbox [16:06] diogenes_: about .config/autostart/dropbpx.desktop, Exec= line is currently: dropbpx start -i [16:07] but lxde/lubuntu doesn't accept dropbpx applet, so, applet appears just by using another command [16:07] diogenes_: ok, I try systemctl to see [16:08] ok, result: [16:08] dropbox.service [16:08] Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) [16:09] Active inactive (dead) [16:09] unfortunately, lxsession doesn't allow to delete entries inside its gui [16:09] cristian__c, ok if you run your sudtom command in terminal, do you get your desired effect? [16:10] custom* [16:10] yeah, I've also added it as custom manual autostarted application [16:11] in Lxsession co figuration -> Autostart -> Manual autostarted applications [16:11] my custom entry is: dbus-launch dropbox start [16:12] cristian__c, and if you open dropbox app and look through the settings and disable autostart? [16:12] but if Dropbox entry is checked (inside Known applications table), my custom entry doesn't work [16:12] diogenes_: I've tried to see dropbpx settings in past [16:12] I look at it again [16:13] I've right-clicked dropbox app,et and then Pteferences->General [16:14] in System, 'Start Dropbox at system boot' is not checked [16:14] but Dropbox entry is checked in lxsession configuration gui, oddly [16:16] diogenes_: I don't know if ypu need a screenshot [16:17] *you [16:17] ok, remove all the entries that have dropbox in ~/.config/autostart [16:17] run: vi ~/.config/autostart/mydropbox.desktop [16:18] there you write: [16:18] [Desktop Entry] [16:18] Name = My Dropbox [16:18] Type = Application [16:18] Categories = Network; [16:18] Icon = lubuntu [16:19] Exec = sh -c "" [16:19] .comfig/autostart includes just: Lockscreen, GSettings data convert, Gnome settings daemon, Dropbox, Indicator Application, LXRandR autostart .desktop files [16:19] save, close and run: chmod +x ~/.config/autostart/mydropbox.desktop [16:19] ok, but why 'sh -c'? [16:19] ah, ok, sorry [16:20] that's more reliable [16:20] with sh -c ".." [16:21] 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] btw. [16:21] I try your tip, btw [16:21] we'll see, after reboot what happens [16:22] it could happen after some reboots/sessions too [16:22] (system update) [16:22] *updates [16:23] *updates [16:29] diogenes_: a new entry named 'Fixed Dropbox' is appearing inside Known applications of lxsession gui [16:29] now, I reboot [16:30] ok [16:32] I'm back again [16:33] diogenes_: Os has added again Dropbox entry in lxsession gui table [16:34] ok that's weird [16:34] so, I don't know how to remove it [16:34] try this: find /etc/ -type f 2>/dev/null | grep dropbox [16:35] ok [16:35] that will look for any dropbox in /etc because that's the usual place where applications get their configs [16:36] ok, found, 1 line result [16:37] /etc/apt/spurces.list.d/dropbpx.list [16:37] *dropbpx.list [16:37] *dropbox [16:37] not good news [16:37] yeah that's not what we need [16:38] I'm looking for dropbox in package manager [16:38] doesn't exist; it's proprietary software [16:38] Proprperties [16:38] -p [16:38] Installed files [16:39] have a look here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dropbox [16:40] /usr/bin ....; /usr/lib .... , libnautilus-dropbpx.so [16:41] I've got the opposite issue (about archlinux wiki) [16:49] 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] from archlinux wiki page. [16:50] diogenes_: unfortunately, as told earlier, this option is already not checked [16:52] 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] yeah, and I don't find a way to prevent it to add the entry over and over [16:53] there is one way but it's a radical way [16:53] diogenes_: I know this issue happens o lxde but not in unity/gnome (and maybe kde) [16:54] http://blog.pengyifan.com/dropbox-icon-is-not-working-xubuntu-16-04-lts/ [16:55] ' The reason is that Dropbox starts to use “indicator area” for their tray icon instead of “notification area”' [16:57] 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] but kater don't forget to run: sudo chattr -i /folder to make it r/w again [16:57] later* [16:59] diogenes_: Could change dropbox Exec line in dropbox.desktop and use chattr +i? [16:59] *could I [16:59] yep [16:59] *chattr +i command after .desktop change [16:59] yes, try that [16:59] and reboot [16:59] ok [21:03] Installer crashed due to an IO error [21:03] balls
