=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [03:13] hi [03:13] hi === transfusion2 is now known as transfusion [09:30] Why this (retarded) File>Open dialogue in Xubuntu 18.04 LTS , when I try to open file from GIMP, does not have &^%* PATH line? [09:31] GIMP uses GTK2 and a custom file dialog. [09:31] Completely outside of our or anybody's control. [09:31] (other than gimp devs) [09:32] https://www.gimp.org/bugs/report.html [09:41] bluesabre, thank you for the clarification! [09:44] 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 [09:47] Same way, GIM requires to press "/" for path dialogue to appear in file>open ... [09:55] Seems that Location: also shows up after clicking a folder in File>Open Gimp dialogue. [11:21] nikolam, mousepad shows shortcuts in the file open dialog as setup in my thunar/mousepad/etc; have you tried using the shortcut feature? [11:22] 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. === lloyd_ is now known as Guest52325 [12:06] 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. [12:07] Guest52325: you probably should ask in the virtualbox channel [12:09] That's part of the question. Should what I am doing work as far as xUbuntu is concerned? [12:09] how and why are you adding an SD card in a VM? [12:10] and what are you booting? a CD ISO? an already installed xubuntu on a virtual disk? [12:10] Guest52325: please elaborate [12:11] settings>storage>IDE>HD (SD card). I am adding it so I can configure the SD card for an embedded linux controller [12:12] xUbuntu is already installed on the virtual HD. The SD card is empty (formatted EXT4) [12:13] and the SD card disk is secondary? [12:13] not primary? [12:13] is the SD card an actual physical SD card? [12:13] not an image file? [12:14] how exactly does xubuntu hang on start? what's the last thing you see? [12:14] I used the default, which is IDE primary master. xUbuntu is on the SATA controller. [12:15] isn't vbox just trying to boot from the SD card and failing? [12:15] The SD is a physical card. [12:15] at least that seems to be the obvious problem [12:15] what's the last message you see? [12:15] do you see the xubuntu boot splash at all? [12:16] Guest52325: ? [12:19] 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. [12:20] uhm [12:20] then why do you say "xubuntu hangs" [12:20] it sounds like virtualbox is hanging [12:20] 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] not xubutnu [12:21] isn't this a permission issue? [12:21] block device access requires root [12:21] I was thinking it was trying to boot from the SD card. [12:21] and you probably and hopefully not running vbox as root [12:21] Guest52325: try chaning boot order in vbox [12:22] or use kvm [12:22] I am running virtualbox as admin. I also changed the permissions for the .vmdk file to all access. [12:23] not a good idea, but the problem is in the permissions for /dev/whatever [12:23] not the vmdk [12:24] Guest52325: ? [12:26] 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] oh Win10 [12:26] no clue how that works in windows [12:26] but did changing the boot order help? [12:27] 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. [12:28] Guest52325: https://ccm.net/faq/40841-virtualbox-how-to-change-the-boot-order-of-a-guest-os frist google hit [12:28] question is whether that lists both harddisks seperately [12:30] it doesn't, just HD. I set the SD to IDE secondary slave. not joy there. [12:31] sata is a seperate controller [12:31] anyhow, seems like vbox is a rather crappy product in this regard [12:31] Guest52325: should really ask on a vbox specific channel [12:32] 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. [12:33] Guest52325: if you don't see xubuntu booting, while it did at first, there really isn't any other conclusion that can be drawn [12:34] brainwash guessed as much to begin with [12:34] Thanks. pmjdebruijn I'll go there. Makes sense. [19:00] hi [19:07] How can I run a program as a service, and should this program run an mp3 audio? [19:11] xubuntu15w: there are several ways and yes [21:50] 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] on 18.04 LTS [21:52] 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. :> [21:53] 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] Thank you! Will try to do that. [21:53] is there a way to set it the same color as your task bar by default? [22:04] hey [22:08] heeeelp [22:15] You'll need to ask a question, detailing what issues you're facing with as much detail as possible before someone can assist. [22:19] my xubuntu is frozen what can I do? [22:20] It has happened to me twice, I was working and I was hanged [22:26] 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? [22:42] my ubuntu stays hung [22:42] heeeeelp! [23:04] my xubuntu stays hung [23:04] heeeeeeeeelp [23:04] What could it be?
