[00:10] <noobboob_> hi i'm new to linux and having a spot of trouble, i've got an external drive that has some files on it but when i try to access them it says i don't have permission.
[19:57] <Guest21804> hi I installed Lubuntu 18.04. I have a problem with positionning the dashbord : only the side is configurable (left right, down, up) , changing the alignement (right center, left) has no effect. The dash is sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right. Th system is updated. How can I fix the position (down right) ? Thank's
[19:57] <wxl> what do you mean by dashboard?
[19:58] <wxl> and actually i'm not sure what you mean about the side and the alignment and the directions you're talking about
[19:58] <wxl> pictures/videos might help
[19:58] <Guest21804> dash : info on the system (hour, battery %, wifi status etc.)
[19:58] <wxl> you're only referring to the system tray part of lxpanel?
[19:59] <wxl> i.e. what is by default on the right hand side of the panel?
[20:00] <Guest21804> I am sorry, I'm not english native, yes it's normally by default on the down right corner, and doesn't move
[20:00] <wxl> the system tray is not separable from the panel, if that's what you mean
[20:00] <wxl> it is in fact part of the panel
[20:00] <wxl> you can change its position along the panel, though
[20:02] <wxl> if you right click somewhere on the panel there's an option in the context menu "Add / Remove Panel Items" and if you check on that you can select the "System Tray" and then click the "Up" and "Down" buttons to position it where you like
[20:02] <Guest21804> In previous versions 16.04 the system tray ("dashboard" for me) was by default down right corner, and never moved if not changed
[20:02] <wxl> i have a current version of 18.04 and that's where it is for me and it hasn't moved
[20:04] <Guest21804> That's what I try to solve : it moves randomly (depending on softwares I use) from left to right, and parameters don't affect the position
[20:05] <wxl> well let's try to reset the settings:
[20:06] <wxl> rm -rf ~/.config/lxpanel && lxpanelctl restart
[20:07] <wxl> and actually for that matter all of the system information stuff are all separate plugins/items in lxpanel so they all move independent of one another. i find it very strange that even if there is some bug that they're ALL moving
[20:09] <Guest21804> the commands restarts the panel, and tring to place it on the right side don't work : the panel is still stuck to the left side
[20:31] <Guest21804> @ wxl : I sent a screenshot (droite=right bas=down) : the panel stays stuck to the left
