| p0wder | hey. does anybody know how to change sddm theme? i am trying to use one i downloaded from github | 01:47 |
|---|---|---|
| p0wder | i put the theme in /usr/share/sddm/themes | 01:48 |
| p0wder | it said i need to change the line "Current=newTheme" in sddm.conf, but i cant find it | 01:50 |
| kc2bez | sddm.conf is in the /etc/ folder | 01:51 |
| p0wder | yeah i tried that one, but it didnt work | 01:51 |
| p0wder | the lubuntu manpage said use "update-alternatives --config newTheme" but that didnt work either | 01:52 |
| kc2bez | you may need a [Theme] heading | 01:53 |
| p0wder | ok ill try that now | 01:55 |
| p0wder | bcus it didnt have the "Current" entry, so i just added it | 01:55 |
| p0wder | another github page said to use this file /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf, but it doesnt exist on lubuntu | 01:56 |
| p0wder | brb | 01:57 |
| p0wder | kc2bez: the theme header worked! | 02:00 |
| p0wder | thanks! | 02:00 |
| kc2bez | Excellent, I am glad that did it for you. | 02:01 |
| kc2bez | Happy to help anytime. | 02:01 |
| loganlee | hello how to upgrade to newer version of lubuntu? | 08:19 |
| guiverc | loganlee, what release of Lubuntu are you using currently? | 08:31 |
| loganlee | i'm not sure | 08:31 |
| guiverc | If you're using it now (and it was me), I'd open a terminal and type `lsb_release -a` | 08:32 |
| loganlee | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS | 08:35 |
| loganlee | but i'm using lubuntu :( | 08:35 |
| guiverc | Don't worry, I'm using Lubuntu 19.10 and it tells me I'm running Ubuntu too. The base is ubuntu with LXDE/Lubuntu on top of Ubuntu base... | 08:36 |
| loganlee | sometimes my GUI gets broken like when i open printers | 08:37 |
| guiverc | loganlee, the 18.10 release notes (https://lubuntu.me/cosmic-released/) state "The most major and notable problem is that upgrading Lubuntu from 18.04 to 18.10 causes a fair amount of issues. Therefore, we are not officially supporting this upgrade path at this time, however we have prepared a page in the Lubuntu Manual which can help address the problems that arise after the upgrade." | 08:37 |
| loganlee | ok thx | 08:38 |
| guiverc | hold on... looking soemthing up again | 08:38 |
| guiverc | no nothing more in the manual (https://manual.lubuntu.me/D/upgrading.html) .. it's possible yes, but its cleaner by re-installing; myself I'd recommend (https://manual.lubuntu.me/1/1.3/installation.html) the manual partitioning, using your existing partitions & I'd choose no-format (but backup before you do it anyway). It'll take note of your added programs, wipe system directories, install, add back some programs (this can cause clutter but I | 08:41 |
| guiverc | find useful) and want to reboot.. It's what I'd suggest for moving to LXQt though most I believe would say clean-install & restore data files from backup (cleanest for sure) | 08:41 |
| guiverc | "manual partitiong" option I mean can be seen in the installation page under "Setting up partitions" section (the picture shows 'erase disk' as ticked; the option under that) | 08:43 |
| guiverc | there is more on "Manual partitioning" later on the page too. | 08:44 |

| Supa | Hey guys, noob question: are beta releases upgradable? | 17:40 |
| wxl | yep | 17:40 |
| Supa | ty! | 17:40 |
| wxl | that is undoubtably due to timedatectl | 17:47 |
| wxl | oops wrong channel bah | 17:47 |
| danixt | hi | 19:18 |
| Owain900 | hey, just a quick question, i have a program for handling .STL files and this program is a .appimage | 22:55 |
| Owain900 | how would i go about setting this program as the defualt to open .STL files? | 22:56 |
| wxl | Owain900: what version of lubuntu? | 23:07 |
| Owain900 | the latest stable version i believe | 23:40 |
| tomreyn | 72.16 then? | 23:42 |
| Owain900 | i think so | 23:44 |
| wxl | hahahah | 23:44 |
| wxl | Owain900: lsb_release -r | 23:45 |
| kc2bez | in the terminal ^ | 23:45 |
| Owain900 | 19.04 | 23:45 |
| tomreyn | i was close, its 4 digits | 23:45 |
| Owain900 | truuuu | 23:46 |
| Owain900 | ya got me there | 23:46 |
| wxl | it's basically equivalent | 23:46 |
| wxl | appimages are the ones that are basically run like normal binaries right? | 23:46 |
| kc2bez | yes | 23:47 |
| kc2bez | download and run | 23:47 |
| kc2bez | they update themselves... sometimes | 23:48 |
| wxl | so it seems like file associations doesn't allow for arbitrary paths | 23:48 |
| wxl | that said, you'll want to create a desktop entry | 23:48 |
| wxl | create a file like ~/.local/share/applications/goofy-stl-program.desktop | 23:48 |
| kc2bez | they may already do that. they usually end up in the menu | 23:48 |
| wxl | is it Owain900 ? | 23:49 |
| kc2bez | first run often does some install type things but YMMV | 23:49 |
| wxl | if it isn't there, make said file | 23:50 |
| Owain900 | its not in the list, ill do that now | 23:50 |
| wxl | it should have the following content (or something like it) | 23:50 |
| wxl | Type=Application | 23:50 |
| wxl | Name="Goofy STL App" | 23:50 |
| wxl | Exec=/path/to/goofy-stl-program | 23:50 |
| wxl | once you have that done, open up the file associations application | 23:51 |
| wxl | enter stl in the search | 23:51 |
| wxl | open up the model bit and click on stl | 23:51 |
| wxl | click the "choose" button under default application | 23:51 |
| wxl | select "Goofy STL App | 23:51 |
| wxl | " | 23:51 |
| wxl | ok, close, and you're done | 23:51 |
| wxl | that probably updates mimeapps.lst and little else so you could probably just edit that but meh | 23:52 |
| wxl | and even then, it calls a desktop | 23:54 |
| wxl | so you'll still need that | 23:54 |
| wxl | one more step: yell at the application developer for not having their application install a desktop entry | 23:56 |
| kc2bez | ^ this | 23:57 |
