[02:00] Installed 19.04. Seems to work very well. LXQT is very nice. === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom [18:30] 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] Thank you, lubucub [18:30] lubucub: what do you mean in the bottom panel do you mean in the quick launch to easily launch it [18:31] on 18.04 right click the quick launch area to add it there [18:32] 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? [18:34] 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] why not just use 19.04? :) [18:35] Because it's LTS and lasts longer. [18:35] well [18:35] not really [18:36] once 2021 hits, we drop all support for it, while support for lxqt continues on [18:36] there will be an lts for lxqt in 2020 [18:36] also, the upstream development of lxde is slow to the point of not existing [18:36] it's not a dead project, but it doesn't have much life [18:36] while lxqt is actively being developed constantly [18:37] 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] I will use LTS in 2020 for sure, but till then, I want some something steady [18:37] i don't know that i'd call it stead [18:37] y [18:37] for example, there's a bug with pcmanfm crashing randomly [18:37] it's been reported upstream but they haven't even responded to the bug [18:38] get that: a major component of their operating system is essentially non-functional..... and they don't even reply [18:40] 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? [18:41] I mean "no" means! [18:42] oh i'm sure there's a way.. just got to remember what it is [18:42] it's not as intuitive as it is in lxqt [18:42] (as is the case with most things) [18:42] this way is right click on the menu and select add to quick launch [18:43] Unfortunately, I get only "add to desktop" and "properties" [18:44] yeah that's what i see, too [18:44] oh, it's a drag and drop thing [18:44] it's just a little sensitive getting it in the right spot [18:46] I cannot drag and drop the LX-Terminbal, neither from the Desktop nor from the menu :-( [18:46] i just did it with the menu [18:49] @ how did you do it? [18:54] @ 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! [18:56] @ I got it :-) It was very tricky! You are an agel, thank you :-) [18:58] @ "angel", of course! Sorry my only previous internet chat was in the early 80s. [18:59] lubucub: sorry i disappeared. glad you got it figured out :) p.s. i started chatting on the internet around the late 80s [19:06] 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] you can use synaptics for that [19:06] which is all command line [19:07] 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. [19:08] you can set it with synaptics in your local autostart [19:08] to be clear that's synaptic*s* not synaptic [19:08] why they chose that name so as to threaten ambiguity is beyond me [19:10] 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] not without making a script [19:10] 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 [19:11] Wow, not my strength. Could you suggest a link to follow? [19:11] ok well it's not too hard [19:11] i can walk you through it [19:12] So be it :-) [19:12] i just have to remember the synaptics setting [19:13] It is not necessary today. Can I reach you tomorow, maybe about same time? [19:14] yeah i'll probably be here [19:14] you could also post a message to the mailing list [19:14] I don't know how to do it! [19:15] send an email to lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com [19:15] describe your problem as you did here [19:15] i can tell you this: `synclient TapButton1=1` turns it on and `synclient TapButton1=0` turns it off [19:18] I will try, but for now, have a good night (I am on CET). [19:18] And thank you again
