| deiter | Installed 19.04. Seems to work very well. LXQT is very nice. | 02:00 |

| lubucub | hi, I am lost, I never used this channel. Can youn help me to find a way how to put an LX-Terminal to the bottoom panel of Lubuntu 18.04? | 18:30 |
| lubucub | Thank you, lubucub | 18:30 |
| lynorian | lubucub: what do you mean in the bottom panel do you mean in the quick launch to easily launch it | 18:30 |
| lynorian | on 18.04 right click the quick launch area to add it there | 18:31 |
| lubucub | Ok, I have only one panel, at the bottom. To the left is the menu (when I click), then the file manager icon, then the web browser icon. I would like to a terminal icon, too. How? | 18:32 |
| lubucub | I have to add, I googled my fingers blood-dripping ;-) but I could not find a solution yet. I could do it with Lubuntu 19.04, but with 18.4 no way :-( | 18:34 |
| wxl | why not just use 19.04? :) | 18:34 |
| lubucub | Because it's LTS and lasts longer. | 18:35 |
| wxl | well | 18:35 |
| wxl | not really | 18:35 |
| wxl | once 2021 hits, we drop all support for it, while support for lxqt continues on | 18:36 |
| wxl | there will be an lts for lxqt in 2020 | 18:36 |
| wxl | also, the upstream development of lxde is slow to the point of not existing | 18:36 |
| wxl | it's not a dead project, but it doesn't have much life | 18:36 |
| wxl | while lxqt is actively being developed constantly | 18:36 |
| wxl | so if you're looking for something to invest in that's going to be well supported for a long time, it's lxqt not lxde | 18:37 |
| lubucub | I will use LTS in 2020 for sure, but till then, I want some something steady | 18:37 |
| wxl | i don't know that i'd call it stead | 18:37 |
| wxl | y | 18:37 |
| wxl | for example, there's a bug with pcmanfm crashing randomly | 18:37 |
| wxl | it's been reported upstream but they haven't even responded to the bug | 18:37 |
| wxl | get that: a major component of their operating system is essentially non-functional..... and they don't even reply | 18:38 |
| lubucub | Well, to my modest needs, 18.04 is well suited compared to 19.04, and I do not want to install 19.10, but I get it: 18.04 has now means to add a humble little LX-Terminal to the panel, right? | 18:40 |
| lubucub | I mean "no" means! | 18:41 |
| wxl | oh i'm sure there's a way.. just got to remember what it is | 18:42 |
| wxl | it's not as intuitive as it is in lxqt | 18:42 |
| wxl | (as is the case with most things) | 18:42 |
| lynorian | this way is right click on the menu and select add to quick launch | 18:42 |
| lubucub | Unfortunately, I get only "add to desktop" and "properties" | 18:43 |
| wxl | yeah that's what i see, too | 18:44 |
| wxl | oh, it's a drag and drop thing | 18:44 |
| wxl | it's just a little sensitive getting it in the right spot | 18:44 |
| lubucub | I cannot drag and drop the LX-Terminbal, neither from the Desktop nor from the menu :-( | 18:46 |
| wxl | i just did it with the menu | 18:46 |
| lubucub | @<wxl> how did you do it? | 18:49 |
| lubucub | @<wxl> To be precise: Ican drag it onto the panel, but nothing happens. Though, very strangely, I get a message "there is already one file in this location". But I cannot see it! | 18:54 |
| lubucub | @<wxl> I got it :-) It was very tricky! You are an agel, thank you :-) | 18:56 |
| lubucub | @<wxl> "angel", of course! Sorry my only previous internet chat was in the early 80s. | 18:58 |
| wxl | lubucub: sorry i disappeared. glad you got it figured out :) p.s. i started chatting on the internet around the late 80s | 18:59 |
| lubucub | Since this worked so great, another question with Lubuntu 18.04: where/how to find the settings for Touchpad? Such as "Tap to click, on/off" | 19:06 |
| wxl | you can use synaptics for that | 19:06 |
| wxl | which is all command line | 19:06 |
| lubucub | I have a global solution from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 00-keyboard.conf, but in my multiuser system I would like to have it locally, user-specific. | 19:07 |
| wxl | you can set it with synaptics in your local autostart | 19:08 |
| wxl | to be clear that's synaptic*s* not synaptic | 19:08 |
| wxl | why they chose that name so as to threaten ambiguity is beyond me | 19:08 |
| lubucub | Click to tap off, is ideal for my second user, but I would like to be able to toggle on/off as in Ubuntu or Debian settings. Possible with synaptic? | 19:10 |
| wxl | not without making a script | 19:10 |
| wxl | you could make a desktop file for it and throw it in ~/.local/share/applications (if i remember the location correctly) and it will show in the menu | 19:10 |
| lubucub | Wow, not my strength. Could you suggest a link to follow? | 19:11 |
| wxl | ok well it's not too hard | 19:11 |
| wxl | i can walk you through it | 19:11 |
| lubucub | So be it :-) | 19:12 |
| wxl | i just have to remember the synaptics setting | 19:12 |
| lubucub | It is not necessary today. Can I reach you tomorow, maybe about same time? | 19:13 |
| wxl | yeah i'll probably be here | 19:14 |
| wxl | you could also post a message to the mailing list | 19:14 |
| lubucub | I don't know how to do it! | 19:14 |
| wxl | send an email to lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com | 19:15 |
| wxl | describe your problem as you did here | 19:15 |
| wxl | i can tell you this: `synclient TapButton1=1` turns it on and `synclient TapButton1=0` turns it off | 19:15 |
| lubucub | I will try, but for now, have a good night (I am on CET). | 19:18 |
| lubucub | And thank you again | 19:18 |
