| Kumool | anonnumberanon: you wouldn't need to if you split /home into its own partition | 02:52 |
| Kumool | the rest is just a cp -r /etc ~/backup | 02:52 |

| SeTunTun | Hi, I am new to xubuntu. I isntalled 18.04 and after many problems with sound and graphic card i am facing som smaller problems and doubts. | 12:53 |
| diogenes_ | !ask | 12:54 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:55 |
| SeTunTun | i own a laptop with 1024*600 px resolution. Some programs don't hide their buttons outside the window. Is there a way to show them? In ubuntu i could swithch to another desktop and see the missing part there. | 12:57 |
| knome | SeTunTun, do you mean "to move the windows in order to see the window decorations"? | 14:10 |
| tombel | hii | 14:22 |
| knome | hello. | 14:23 |
| SeTunTun | i mean, for instance if you move part of a window outside the desktop, it would be useful it that missing part aeears in the next desktop. | 14:31 |
| SeTunTun | like ubuntu does | 14:32 |
| knome | right, nope, i don't think that's possible with the xfce components | 14:32 |
| SeTunTun | oh! it's a pity. I won't be able to see the options of many programs that are hidden ouside the desktops | 14:35 |
| xubuntu88d | installed Xubuntu and it is quite awesome! One issue is can not get sound from my speaker.....or no sound from anywhere. Did have both Ubuntu and Puppy Linux running in the past and both produced good sound from 1st install -- no issue. Any ideas?? | 14:35 |
| knome | SeTunTun, you could try fiddling with the dpi if you generally wanted to make more fit your screen (at the expense of text size of course) | 14:36 |
| SeTunTun | knome, good idea. I'll try. Thanks | 15:01 |
| xubuntu04w | I was also updating was only half downloaded, I was told to check my internet connection. Can I just run the update at once so will it download the rest and install everything? | 15:36 |
| SeTunTun | knome i'm afraid i have no option in references to increase the resolution | 15:58 |
| knome | SeTunTun, not resolution, i was referring to DPI | 16:00 |
| knome | xubuntu04w, yes | 16:00 |
| knome | SeTunTun, but i remembered that would also affect window sizes, however it does not seem to.. | 16:01 |
| knome | maybe that was a gtk2 thing | 16:01 |
| SeTunTun | knome, don't worry. Let's forget about it for the moment. | 16:02 |
| SeTunTun | I hava another issue... I paired my phone via bluetooth and after following a tutorial i can examine the fils in my phone. The phone is mounted as an external unit in thunar | 16:05 |
| SeTunTun | the problem comes when i clic on the unmount icon in thunar and i get an error teling i don't have permissions. Could anybody help? | 16:06 |
| dreamon_ | dont know why, but all usb sticks/hdd I plugin were automounted to /media/usb0-9. I disabled all automount features but I think gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor is the reason. I cannot stop this behavior. | 16:36 |

| SeTunTun | i've been testing some distrbutions along these years and maybe it's only my feeling but i think xbuntu is full of bugs. | 16:46 |
| SeTunTun | it's an exasperating challenge for a normal user | 16:46 |
| Gen86 | hey | 16:48 |
| Gen86 | when my audio is silient i keep hearing a static sound and cant in the volume controls fix it | 16:48 |
| Gen86 | in headphones | 16:49 |
| Gen86 | speaker its fine | 16:49 |
| Gen86 | or not noticable | 16:50 |
| gnrp | Gen86: Do you have this with every OS? | 16:51 |
| Gen86 | not that i noticed no | 16:51 |
| Gen86 | I mean i could go back into mac and see if its doing it too | 16:52 |
| Gen86 | but never was on my (possibly rip) pc | 16:52 |
| Gen86 | this old imac i was using to learn linux is kind of my backup til i can maybe get a new thing | 16:52 |
| Gen86 | for the important stuff like internet | 16:53 |
| Gen86 | wanna see what i could do in here first | 16:54 |
| Gen86 | like is there a setting im missing | 16:54 |
| Gen86 | ill bbl | 16:56 |
| someone235 | Hi, I wanna open executable with double click. Someone knows how can I do that? | 20:35 |
| diogenes_ | someone235, just double click on it? | 20:36 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, it opens "open with" window | 20:36 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, I can execute from terminal without any problem, btw | 20:36 |
| diogenes_ | hmmm | 20:37 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, It's a shared library file | 20:37 |
| diogenes_ | so how you run it o terminal? | 20:40 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, I just run the file name | 20:40 |
| someone235 | *write | 20:40 |
| someone235 | e.g | 20:40 |
| someone235 | ./openliero | 20:41 |
| someone235 | just like this | 20:41 |
| diogenes_ | you need to navigate to its folder first | 20:41 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, it works from terminal | 20:44 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, but not with double click | 20:44 |
| someone235 | on thunar | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | did you make it executable? | 20:44 |
| someone235 | yes | 20:44 |
| someone235 | I couldn't run it from terminal if it wasn't executable | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | someone235, you could make a shortcut for it a .desktop file | 20:45 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, I know, but it's not comfortable to make a shortcut for each executable. I just want double click to work by default | 20:46 |
| diogenes_ | someone235, navigate to /usr/bin in thunar and double click on firefox binary | 20:47 |
| diogenes_ | see if that works | 20:47 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, it works | 20:48 |
| diogenes_ | so it means it's not for every binary | 20:48 |
| diogenes_ | it's for that particular one | 20:48 |
| someone235 | firefox is a shortcut | 20:48 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, it doesn't work for /usr/lib/firefox/firefox | 20:49 |
| someone235 | diogenes_, does it work for you? | 20:49 |
| diogenes_ | my ff is in /opt/firefox/firefox | 20:51 |
| diogenes_ | and it works | 20:51 |

| tko1977 | thank god for GTK and gtk-primary-button-warps-slider, I was missing this functionality when I used KWin/Kubuntu | 23:22 |
| tko1977 | handy feature in settings.ini | 23:22 |
| tko1977 | they should have radio button settings for left button mouse click (and others) incorporated in preferences. I guess the devs have to want to do that.. | 23:25 |
| tko1977 | i need to do some more research about it | 23:43 |
