| nikolam | Why this (retarded) File>Open dialogue in Xubuntu 18.04 LTS , when I try to open file from GIMP, does not have &^%* PATH line? | 09:30 |
| bluesabre | GIMP uses GTK2 and a custom file dialog. | 09:31 |
| bluesabre | Completely outside of our or anybody's control. | 09:31 |
| bluesabre | (other than gimp devs) | 09:31 |
| bluesabre | https://www.gimp.org/bugs/report.html | 09:32 |
| nikolam | bluesabre, thank you for the clarification! | 09:41 |
| nikolam | I think Xubuntu suffers from not having File path enter option in File>Open dialogue in general (like opening File>Open form mousepad) , except from pressing Ctrl+L | 09:44 |
| nikolam | Same way, GIM requires to press "/" for path dialogue to appear in file>open ... | 09:47 |
| nikolam | Seems that Location: also shows up after clicking a folder in File>Open Gimp dialogue. | 09:55 |
| guiverc2 | nikolam, mousepad shows shortcuts in the file open dialog as setup in my thunar/mousepad/etc; have you tried using the shortcut feature? | 11:21 |
| nikolam | guiverc2, yes, shortcut works, Ctrl+L , just not there by default, it's either per-Xfce choice or Xubuntu choice not to display it by default. | 11:22 |

| Guest52325 | I'm using xUbuntu 19.04 in VM VirtualBox on Win 10 64. I'm having a heck of a time adding an SD card. I have made the .vmdk file as per may instruction on the web. When I add it to the storage for the VM, Xubuntu hangs on start. When I remove the SD, it starts fine. I can also see all the drive letters in the Win 10 machine with the xUbuntu File Manager--not sure what that means. I am looking for ideas. | 12:06 |
| brainwash | Guest52325: you probably should ask in the virtualbox channel | 12:07 |
| Guest52325 | That's part of the question. Should what I am doing work as far as xUbuntu is concerned? | 12:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | how and why are you adding an SD card in a VM? | 12:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | and what are you booting? a CD ISO? an already installed xubuntu on a virtual disk? | 12:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: please elaborate | 12:10 |
| Guest52325 | settings>storage>IDE>HD (SD card). I am adding it so I can configure the SD card for an embedded linux controller | 12:11 |
| Guest52325 | xUbuntu is already installed on the virtual HD. The SD card is empty (formatted EXT4) | 12:12 |
| pmjdebruijn | and the SD card disk is secondary? | 12:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | not primary? | 12:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | is the SD card an actual physical SD card? | 12:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | not an image file? | 12:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | how exactly does xubuntu hang on start? what's the last thing you see? | 12:14 |
| Guest52325 | I used the default, which is IDE primary master. xUbuntu is on the SATA controller. | 12:14 |
| pmjdebruijn | isn't vbox just trying to boot from the SD card and failing? | 12:15 |
| Guest52325 | The SD is a physical card. | 12:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | at least that seems to be the obvious problem | 12:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | what's the last message you see? | 12:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | do you see the xubuntu boot splash at all? | 12:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: ? | 12:16 |
| Guest52325 | The virtual window opens. I get a pop up box xUbuntu: Starting virtual machine with a progress bar 0%. It never advances. Eventually an identical pop up box opens in the VM window and sticks at 20%. Eventually it fails. | 12:19 |
| pmjdebruijn | uhm | 12:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | then why do you say "xubuntu hangs" | 12:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | it sounds like virtualbox is hanging | 12:20 |
| Guest52325 | I think the answer is I don't get the splash screen. The xUbuntu window is empty/black during this. If I remove the SD card from the storage, I get the colored splash screens. | 12:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | not xubutnu | 12:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | isn't this a permission issue? | 12:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | block device access requires root | 12:21 |
| Guest52325 | I was thinking it was trying to boot from the SD card. | 12:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | and you probably and hopefully not running vbox as root | 12:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: try chaning boot order in vbox | 12:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | or use kvm | 12:22 |
| Guest52325 | I am running virtualbox as admin. I also changed the permissions for the .vmdk file to all access. | 12:22 |
| pmjdebruijn | not a good idea, but the problem is in the permissions for /dev/whatever | 12:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | not the vmdk | 12:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: ? | 12:24 |
| Guest52325 | You mean you think the win 10 permissions block SD access? The SD is not readable by Win 10 since it is EXT4. | 12:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh Win10 | 12:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | no clue how that works in windows | 12:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | but did changing the boot order help? | 12:26 |
| Guest52325 | I'm a bit confused how to change the boot order, since they both look like HDs. I have put the HD first. not joy. | 12:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: https://ccm.net/faq/40841-virtualbox-how-to-change-the-boot-order-of-a-guest-os frist google hit | 12:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | question is whether that lists both harddisks seperately | 12:28 |
| Guest52325 | it doesn't, just HD. I set the SD to IDE secondary slave. not joy there. | 12:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | sata is a seperate controller | 12:31 |
| pmjdebruijn | anyhow, seems like vbox is a rather crappy product in this regard | 12:31 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: should really ask on a vbox specific channel | 12:31 |
| Guest52325 | So what you are tell me is this is a VirtualBox issue. Is that right? If I remove the SD card from the VM storage fdisk -l only reports the virtual system HD. | 12:32 |
| pmjdebruijn | Guest52325: if you don't see xubuntu booting, while it did at first, there really isn't any other conclusion that can be drawn | 12:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | brainwash guessed as much to begin with | 12:34 |
| Guest52325 | Thanks. pmjdebruijn I'll go there. Makes sense. | 12:34 |
| UnevenCoder | hi | 19:00 |
| xubuntu15w | How can I run a program as a service, and should this program run an mp3 audio? | 19:07 |
| GridCube | xubuntu15w: there are several ways and yes | 19:11 |
| swizzy | Hi, I really like the bottom panel that xfce comes with on Debian (about the only thing I like about Debian..). I've tried for a bit to recreate it 1:1 but didn't manage to do it so far. Is there any tutorial or guide on how to set something like that up? | 21:50 |
| swizzy | on 18.04 LTS | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | Add the second panel, then on each end you'll need to add seperators that auto expand (setting them transparent is best), then you'll want to add a few launchers in the middle, optionally with weather or eyes on the end. :> | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Of course, setting it to autohide and whatnot. I prefer giving it a nice alpha color, so it's not got an ugly gray background. | 21:53 |
| swizzy | Thank you! Will try to do that. | 21:53 |
| swizzy | is there a way to set it the same color as your task bar by default? | 21:53 |
| xubuntu78w | hey | 22:04 |
| xubuntu78w | heeeelp | 22:08 |
| Unit193 | You'll need to ask a question, detailing what issues you're facing with as much detail as possible before someone can assist. | 22:15 |
| xubuntu78w | my xubuntu is frozen what can I do? | 22:19 |
| xubuntu78w | It has happened to me twice, I was working and I was hanged | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | I'm afriad that's not a whole lot to go on, so all I can really say is a query as to if you've perhaps checked the logs in /var/log/syslog, or whatnot? | 22:26 |
| xubuntu01w | my ubuntu stays hung | 22:42 |
| xubuntu01w | heeeeelp! | 22:42 |
| xubuntu34w | my xubuntu stays hung | 23:04 |
| xubuntu34w | heeeeeeeeelp | 23:04 |
| xubuntu34w | What could it be? | 23:04 |
