user__I'm back.00:33
user__Ok, so I tried copying some audio files to the desktop from my phone and they don't transfer.00:35
user__I press "Copy Here" and "Move Here" and no effect.00:35
user__I even tried to transfer the whole "Camera" folder with all of the pictures on my phone on it to the desktop.00:36
user__Hello everyone.02:14
user__Anybody on here right now?02:14
lubot<teward001> some of us02:15
lubot<teward001> but this isn't always the most fastest time to get support here.02:16
user__I can02:16
user__Excuse me, I can't go on the other channels without having to register with /nickserv.02:16
lubot<teward001> it's also tricky sometimes to get data to move off Android phones.  Copy should have worked though.02:16
user__Ok, so earlier I mentioned that installed Lubuntu 19.04 recently, and tried to drag some pictures from my Android phone to the Desktop, when I got the options "Copy Here", "Move Here", and "Insert Symlink Here", I tried all of them but they didn't transfer to the desktop.02:17
user__I tried older versions of Lubuntu like 16.04.4 and 18.04 and they transferred but when I went to go view them on the desktop, they had an error being viewed.02:18
user__Trying out Linux Mint and Ubuntu, I transferred the same photos off of my phone to the desktop and they had no problem being viewed or corrupted.02:19
user__So something's up with Lubuntu and my phone.02:19

dabblerdudeHello everyone. Hello everyone.16:18
dabblerdudeSo I have an issue with Lubuntu and my Android phone; I tried to transfer some photos as well as some music from my phone to the desktop, and they wouldn't transfer. On Lubuntu 19.04, when I tried to drag and drop the things to the desktop and had the options "Move Here", "Copy Here" and "Insert Symblink Here",  I tried those options and they had no effect.16:18
dabblerdudeI also tried Lubuntu 18.04 LTS and 16.04x, but this time, they transferred to the desktop and when I tried to click on those items from the desktop, I had errors viewing them.16:18
dabblerdudeThey were corrupted and unviewable on the desktop, but not on my phone.16:18
dabblerdudeThese problems didn't occur when I used Linux Mint and Ubuntu.16:18
dabblerdudeSo they had no issue being transferred and viewed.16:18
dabblerdudetest message.16:37
wxl[m]dabblerdude: didn't we go over this before? You need to ctrl-drag to copy. Default is a symlink16:50
dabblerdudewxl[m]: Yeah, we did. But isn't this a bug in Lubuntu or something?16:51
dabblerdudeOtherwise, is there a way I can change the default to something else besides a symlink?16:52
wxl[m]Not totally, but as I said before, I wouldn't expect much out of the LXDE. Unless it's a huge problem with no workaround and a clear fix..16:52
wxl[m]Not that I know of16:53
dabblerdudeI see, yeah, it's only with Lubuntu that I get this issue, not Ubuntu or Linux Mint.16:53
dabblerdudeBy the way, I got this issue on 19.04 with lxde-qt.16:54
wxl[m]What the heck is lxde-qt???16:55
dabblerdudeExcuse me, I mena lxqt.16:55
dabblerdudeThe desktop environment that 19.04 runs.16:55
dabblerdudeThe one that you mentioned that is under heavy development.16:55
wxl[m]You still have that version running?16:56
dabblerdudeI run 19.04.16:59
dabblerdudeI had another computer to run 19.04 on with a Core 2 Duo at 3Ghz.16:59
dabblerdudeSo I was getting that file transfer issue on there too.16:59
dabblerdudeI have 18.04 on the Dell laptop.17:00
wxl[m]Can you copy any file (not on the phone) to the desktop on the LXQt?17:01
dabblerdudeI tried copying some files from a flash drive on to the desktop and it worked.17:01
dabblerdudeNo problems there.17:02
wxl[m]Curious17:02
wxl[m]Let me see if I can find an upstream issue related to MTP devices17:03
dabblerdudeIt's got to be a bug.17:03
dabblerdudeOr yeah, and upstream issue related to that.17:03
wxl[m]https://github.com/lxqt/libfm-qt/pull/43917:16
wxl[m]Literally just got fixed17:16
wxl[m]Hopefully they release it in time for 19.10. If not, I'll pull the patch in17:16
dabblerdudeThat's good.17:17
dabblerdudeSo would I have to deal with copying and pasting or ctrl-dragging for now until 19.10 comes out?17:18
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> Yup! Unfortunately you will have to use Ctrl+drag. Or if you could contribute and pull in the patch, you can get it before 19.10 arrives.17:24
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> ;)17:24
dabblerdudeI cannot contribute to the patch as I'm not that good with source code.17:25
dabblerdudeIRC is so helpful when it comes to tech problems.17:26
dabblerdudeIt's not like with a forum online.17:26
dabblerdudeThanks for your help, wxl.17:54
dabblerdudeSee ya later everyone!17:56
kiwi_11I recently got updates. How long is there eupdates for lubuntu 16.04.6 ?20:27
kiwi_11*updtaes20:27
kiwi_11updates20:28
kc2bezkiwi_11: Lubuntu support for 16.04 has ended. The only thing receiving updates is the Ubuntu base. You should at least upgrade to 18.0420:39
kc2bez!eol | kiwi_1120:40
ubottukiwi_11: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades20:40
kiwi_11It is strange i got updates recently, it is second time after i installed it the last week. 18.04 was a bit slow for my old notebook. The old style was better.20:42
kc2bezThe Ubuntu base is still under community support. If you issue a `ubuntu-support-status` in the terminal it will let you know the number of packages still supported.20:47
kiwi_11I sounds strange to me. It is EOL but there is a community support ? I have nevr heard about that. Not suport anymore but still supportet..21:21
tomreynit's falling back to a lower support level basically, the lowest there is21:32
tomreyneffectively bugs may not get fixed and even security fixes will not be provided most of the time.21:33
tomreynkiwi_11: ^21:33
user760_Hello, is there a convenient way (involving a GUI) to change your username on Lubuntu? I found out that through the "Users & Groups" that you can't change the name of the username you are logged in under.21:37
tomreynif you'd like to do it graphically, you'd probably need to create a new administrative user, then log in as that, then rename the other user. but i'm not actually sure whether renaming existing users is possible then. doing so has some caveats. epcifically, many configuration files you have in  ~/.config/ will have full paths to applications or other configuration in them. and those configuration files would still point to the old usernames'21:41
tomreyndirectory if the user account was renamed - and thus break.21:41
tomreynuser760_: ^21:42
user760_The reason I ask is is because, I'm selling some computers with Lubuntu and I want the customer who buys it to be able to change their username easily, as they wouldn't want to be stuck with the name "user".21:42
tomreynuser760_: you want an oem installation then21:53
tomreynhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview21:55
user760_Is there a way I can do that for Lubuntu?21:56
user760_Use a Lubuntu OEM installation?21:56
user760_Because the computers that I'm trying to put them on have 4GB of RAM on 2 of the PCs.21:57
user760_And one with 2GB.21:57
tomreynhttps://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2407265 suggests it works with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS21:57
user760_So I press F4 upon startup to install in OEM mode?22:03
tomreynyou could give it a try22:03
lubot<ctisme> how to set taskbar for only displaying the apps listed on the desktop... my current setting will list all opened apps all from the desktop ... where is the configuration?22:03
user760_Ok, thanks.22:04
user760_I should've considered an OEM install in the first place.22:04
user760_I went through the hassle of installing things for the customer that it took up a lot of my time.22:04
tomreynso you'll save a lot of time now, great!22:06
kc2bez@ctisme Which version of Lubuntu?22:06
lubot<ctisme> 19.04... i solved from taskmanager setting, thanks for the response @kc22:08
kc2bezNo problem. Glad you figured it out.22:09
lubot<ctisme> suitable for many tabs apps opened22:09
kc2bezIt can help for sure.22:09
lubot<ctisme> which version do you have ?22:09
kc2bezI am running the development release on this machine but I have others that run 19.0422:10
lubot<ctisme> which dev rel @kc2bez22:14
lubot<ctisme> i have 19.04 on others, but after first booting it will display virtual keyboard on the screen22:14
lubot<ctisme> i don't know why but after rebooting i couldn't SSH the box because it still didn't login... how to solve that22:15
kc2bez19.10. It will be released in October. I am on the development team.22:16
lubot<ctisme> cool, in which part do you ?22:17
lubot<ctisme> @ctisme [i don't know why but after rebooting i couldn't SSH the box because it still did …], i upgraded from 18.04 FYi22:17
kc2bezI help where needed. I have been focusing on the Calamares installer and settings as of late.22:18
kc2bezWeird you couldn't ssh. That shouldn't be the case but maybe something isn't starting in the right order there.22:20
lubot<ctisme> after i login the box pingable22:23
lubot<ctisme> Calamares -> qtpack manager?22:23
lubot<ctisme> @ctisme [after i login the box pingable], where starting list should i check?22:24
kc2bezCalamares is the installer for Lubuntu since 18.1022:36
kc2bezSo it sounds like the network service is starting  which is good @ctisme22:37
kc2bezTo check on the sshd service you can issue a `systemctl status sshd`in the terminal @ctisme22:40
