[18:51] <scootergrisen> On the login screen i can select sessions like "Xfce Session". Where is that string translated?
[18:53] <diogenes_> scootergrisen, afaik that depends on login manager (aka lightdm, slim, gdm, sddm, etc.)
[18:53] <brainwash> https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/tree/xfce.desktop.in
[18:54] <brainwash> that one is translated via http://www.xfce.org/getinvolved/translation
[18:57] <brainwash> the installed file is /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop
[18:57] <scootergrisen> its lightdm i think
[18:59] <scootergrisen> Ok so its not enough to have the strings in the po files to see it.
[19:00] <scootergrisen> Are .desktop files suppose to be used for that?
[19:00] <brainwash> not for something like a desktop file
[19:00] <brainwash> why wouldn't they?
[19:00] <scootergrisen> Are .desktop files not only for application shortcuts in the application menu?
[19:01] <brainwash> they are used for autostart too
[19:06] <friendlyGoat> hello, this ain't much of a big deal but i'd still like to ask about it. how do i make my login screen show up on only one of my displays?
[19:07] <friendlyGoat> when im logging in it makes the login prompt appear on my laptop screen whch is closed instead of on my television which is where i want it if you get what i mean
[19:08] <friendlyGoat> i'd also like to ask how to fix my GRUB menu, my EFI partition moved and i had to reinstall one of my operating systems now grub aint booting first and im not sure what to do
[19:10] <GridCube> friendlyGoat: https://askubuntu.com/questions/234930/choose-lightdm-login-screen-location-in-multi-monitor-setup
[19:10] <friendlyGoat> havent loaded it yet but thanks in advance!
[19:11] <GridCube> friendlyGoat: https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/
[19:11] <friendlyGoat> thanks for that too, this has been a huge bother for me
[19:11] <GridCube> though, proably doing grub-update should fix it
[19:12] <GridCube> but boot-repair does a lot of things visually so it helps a lot
[19:16] <scootergrisen> Xubuntu is not a desktop environment is it?
[19:16] <scootergrisen> In xubuntu i can choose between two session. Xfce Session and Xubuntu Session.
[19:17] <brainwash> it does not say desktop environment
[19:17] <brainwash> it says "session"
[19:18] <brainwash> xubuntu offers a customized xfce session
[19:19] <scootergrisen> But the comment in xubuntu.desktop says "Use this session to run Xubuntu as your desktop environment"
[19:21] <brainwash> copy pasted from Comment=Use this session to run Xfce as your desktop environment
[19:22] <scootergrisen> Thats the xfce.desktop file i meant the xubuntu.desktop file
[19:23] <brainwash> yes
[19:23] <scootergrisen> I just ask if it is corret to call xubuntu a desktop environment
[19:23] <brainwash> the string in xubuntu.desktop was basically just copied/modified
[19:24] <scootergrisen> Yes it seems that way
[19:24] <brainwash> https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/tree/usr/share/xsessions/xubuntu.desktop
[19:25] <brainwash> many years ago it used to be Comment=Use this session to boot into Xubuntu
[19:27] <brainwash> personally, I would bother with this
[19:31] <scootergrisen> How come files like /usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop does not contain translations but in the Xfce menu pidgin is translation. Where are the translated strings at?
[19:34] <brainwash> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LangpacksDesktopfiles
[19:37] <brainwash> scootergrisen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LangpacksDesktopfiles
[19:57] <scootergrisen> brainwash, i read a bit of it but still can figure out there the translated strings are
[20:34] <scootergrisen> bye for now and thanks for all the fish
[21:37] <xubuntu70i> JOIN
[21:37] <xubuntu70i> can anyone read me?
[21:39] <Bashing-om> xubuntu70i: Yup :)
