[09:11] <DreadStorm> Good morning.
[09:11] <diogenes_> good morning
[09:12] <DreadStorm> I hate to be a pest, but I wonder if I can get a little configuration help?
[09:13] <diogenes_> !ask | DreadStorm
[09:13] <ubottu> DreadStorm: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[09:15] <DreadStorm> Sorry. My question is about the programs menu ("whiskers menu"). I don't like the Windoze-style paned apps menu, and would like to know how to reconfigure it to look like the older, cascading style programs menu.
[09:15] <diogenes_> DreadStorm, but there is the application menu already cascade mode
[09:15] <diogenes_> just add it to the panel and remove whisker
[09:17] <DreadStorm> Okay, I can see how to remove Whiskers. But how do I add the Applications Menu? (Total newbie on Linux.)
[09:18] <DreadStorm> Found it.  Nevermind. :)
[09:21] <DreadStorm> Thank you for your help.
[09:22] <diogenes_> DreadStorm, you're welcome.
[09:23] <diogenes_> though i can't see how the application menu is better than whisker? to me it's completely the opposite, to look for an app in the application menu is so much time consuming whereas in whisker just type 2 letter and there you have it.
[09:38] <aradesh> hiya. i keep getting 'a system problem was detected' when i boot up. how do i find out what the problem is?
[09:40] <bodiccea> Do you mean after you login ? Or during boot itself ?
[09:40] <aradesh> after login
[09:40] <aradesh> also i have two network symbols on the top bar on my screen. a bit random: https://i.imgur.com/BLHUKYZ.png
[09:40] <aradesh> i wonder how that happened
[09:42] <aradesh> the system problem message - its a pop up after login, and offers to cancel, or report the system problem, but if i just get rid of it, everything carries on as normal.
[09:44] <bodiccea> Next time, try to report it, you will get details on what happened. Meantime, you may have a look in different logfiles, /var/log/syslog, etc... and your own .xsession-errors
[09:44] <aradesh> tahnks
[09:44] <aradesh> thanks*
[09:48] <bodiccea> About the icons, it could be one is a "standalone" network plugin, the other could be part of a generic plugin. Right clicking on them could tell you  what they are
[09:50] <aradesh> seems the right one is a 'status notifier plugin', whereas the other one gives me all the details about which networks are available, etc.
[09:50] <aradesh> xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin
[09:54] <bodiccea> Just remove one of them
[09:55] <aradesh> done!
[10:49] <jarnos> What happens to encrypted home, if you upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04?
[18:37] <faithinstrangers> is there a way to do tiling (like the macos app amethyst) without using an entirely different DE / WM?
[18:38] <faithinstrangers> i like xfce but whenever i try to do xfce integration with awesome / i3 / xmonad i get lost
