[03:13] <xubuntu81w> hi
[09:30] <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?
[09:31] <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)
[09:32] <bluesabre> https://www.gimp.org/bugs/report.html
[09:41] <nikolam> bluesabre, thank you for the clarification!
[09:44] <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
[09:47] <nikolam> Same way, GIM requires to press "/" for path dialogue to appear in file>open ...
[09:55] <nikolam> Seems that Location: also shows up after clicking a folder in File>Open Gimp dialogue.
[11:21] <guiverc2> nikolam, mousepad shows shortcuts in the file open dialog as setup in my thunar/mousepad/etc; have you tried using the shortcut feature?
[11:22] <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.
[12:06] <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.
[12:07] <brainwash> Guest52325: you probably should ask in the virtualbox channel
[12:09] <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?
[12:10] <pmjdebruijn> and what are you booting? a CD ISO? an already installed xubuntu on a virtual disk?
[12:10] <pmjdebruijn> Guest52325: please elaborate
[12:11] <Guest52325> settings>storage>IDE>HD (SD card). I am adding it so I can configure the SD card for an embedded linux controller
[12:12] <Guest52325> xUbuntu is already installed on the virtual HD. The SD card is empty (formatted EXT4)
[12:13] <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?
[12:14] <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.
[12:15] <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?
[12:16] <pmjdebruijn> Guest52325: ?
[12:19] <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.
[12:20] <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
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <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.
[12:23] <pmjdebruijn> not a good idea, but the problem is in the permissions for /dev/whatever
[12:23] <pmjdebruijn> not the vmdk
[12:24] <pmjdebruijn> Guest52325: ?
[12:26] <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?
[12:27] <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.
[12:28] <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
[12:30] <Guest52325> it doesn't, just HD. I set the SD to IDE secondary slave. not joy there.
[12:31] <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
[12:32] <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.
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <pmjdebruijn> brainwash guessed as much to begin with
[12:34] <Guest52325> Thanks. pmjdebruijn I'll go there. Makes sense.
[19:00] <UnevenCoder> hi
[19:07] <xubuntu15w> How can I run a program as a service, and should this program run an mp3 audio?
[19:11] <GridCube> xubuntu15w: there are several ways and yes
[21:50] <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
[21:52] <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. :>
[21:53] <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?
[22:04] <xubuntu78w> hey
[22:08] <xubuntu78w> heeeelp
[22:15] <Unit193> You'll need to ask a question, detailing what issues you're facing with as much detail as possible before someone can assist.
[22:19] <xubuntu78w> my xubuntu is frozen what can I do?
[22:20] <xubuntu78w>  It has happened to me twice, I was working and I was hanged
[22:26] <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?
[22:42] <xubuntu01w> my ubuntu stays hung
[22:42] <xubuntu01w> heeeeelp!
[23:04] <xubuntu34w>  my xubuntu stays hung
[23:04] <xubuntu34w> heeeeeeeeelp
[23:04] <xubuntu34w> What could it be?
