xubuntu90wdoes anyone knows what snap apps are buit-in on xubuntu 18.04?11:46
diogenes_xubuntu90w, in a terminal run: snap list11:47
diogenes_and that will show you the list of installed snap packages.11:47
xubuntu90wthx diogenes but the problem is that i removed snapd11:47
xubuntu90wfollowing instructions on internet11:47
xubuntu90wand i dont know is having deleted snap dir could be bad for the system11:48
diogenes_then run this one: ls /snap11:48
sublevelI recently did a fresh install of 18.04 and  snap list   has one result:  core11:49
diogenes_also this one: ls /var/lib/snapd11:49
xubuntu90win other words... if i remove snapd and all the apps build-in.. must i install them again in the apt way?11:49
diogenes_xubuntu90w, of course, snaps and debs are different packages.11:50
xubuntu90wdiogenes_ i have deleted snapd (so i dont have those dirs that you mention) but i would like to know if there were important apps there to restore them via apt-get11:53
sublevelI don't believe there are any snap apps installed by default11:53
diogenes_xubuntu90w, as sublevel said, there was nothing important there only the core package which is needed for snapd only.11:54
xubuntu90wsublevel read this https://munix.dk/remove-snap-ubuntu-180411:54
xubuntu90wthere he says that there are several snap apps from gnome11:55
diogenes_so far snap is safe to remove, what will be next is a mystery, if canonical decides to replace apt with snap, i personally don't see it as a good idea, they gonna lose a great part of their userbase.11:55
sublevelthat's referring to Ubuntu,  not xubuntu11:55
xubuntu90wi agree with you diogenes_ snap could be interesting for very specific apps but not for replacing apt11:57
xubuntu90wyou are right sublevel but i though it was the same case11:58
xubuntu90wi have another question Do you have had problems to make appear wine on whisker menu?11:59
diogenes_it was long time ago since i last installed wine on xubuntu but i guess there shouldn't be any issues with that, even if it doesn't appear in whisker menu you can still use it or create your own shortcuts just fine/12:01
xubuntu90wwhisker dosent show folders with only folders in it . Need to have at least one item12:01
xubuntu90wdiogenes_ i did that (my own shortcuts) because istalling wine from terminal (following instructions from winehq webpage) doesnt install icon on whisker12:03
sublevelxubuntu90w: the programs that come with Ubuntu and Xubuntu will differ in many cases,  e.g. from the list on the page you linked, Xubuntu uses mate-calc instead of gnome-calculator12:15
xubuntu90wsublevel i was searching a list of built-in apps on xubuntu 18.04 but i found only lists from ubuntu. Yes u r right xub18.04 have mate calc12:30
xubuntu90wThank you diogenes_ and sublevel for helping me and greeting from Andalusia!12:33
diogenes_xubuntu90w, you're welcome.12:33

xubuntu18wHi new to xubuntu and programming. wish to run a windows iso from usb to restore to windows 7.19:25
gnrpxubuntu18w: What do you mean with "run a windows iso"?19:29
xubuntu18wI wish to boot from usb to reinstall windows 7.19:29
gnrpyou can do that with `dd`19:31
xubuntu18wwhen I enter the command line at boot or before I restart19:31
gnrpso you do `dd if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M`, where "windows7.iso" must be replaced by the name of your iso file and "/dev/sdX" must be replaced by the device19:32
gnrpyou can check which device the USB drive is when you insert it and then run `dmesg`19:32
gnrpif you are unsure, do `dmesg` and upload the output of the last 30 lines or so somewhere19:32
gnrpor paste it to me in query19:32

xubuntu0wwell actually i've solved the problem, when you get to the "Try Ubuntu" option, hit e and specify nomodeset on the GRUB_CMDLINE, and it should work for anyone encountering this problem.21:41
