| jphilips | All those interested to help improve the stability of next month's Xubuntu 20.04, please read this - https://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-20-04-testing-week/ | 08:54 |
| DarkTrick | When I doubleclick a file to open a it inside a program, how is the application call executed? | 13:06 |
| DarkTrick | Is the same launcher file used as for the menu entry in whiskers menu? | 13:06 |
| jphilips | DarkTrick: application call would be something like 'appname filename' | 13:10 |
| DarkTrick | so it's not related to the launcher settings for the menu. | 13:10 |
| jphilips | i presume it will use the launcher menu execution command | 13:11 |
| jphilips | if the file open is pointing at the launcher | 13:11 |
| DarkTrick | Hm... testing it with vlc shows, that opening it through a file calls whats defined in the menu... | 13:12 |
| DarkTrick | "if the file open is pointing at the launcher" I don't understand this. | 13:12 |
| DarkTrick | Background: I'm trying to figure out, if the behaviour I experience is normal or strange | 13:12 |
| Hamilton1 | Can Engrampa Archiver extract/archive RAR? | 13:16 |
| lightero1l | Hamilton1: yes, but you need to install the unrar package. | 13:24 |
| Hamilton1 | lightero1l, nice so it automatically calls it? | 13:24 |
| lightero1l | Hamilton1: yes. | 13:24 |
| lightero1l | keep in mind that unrar is located in the multiverse repository, which you might need to enable first if you haven't done so before. | 13:26 |
| Hamilton1 | lightero1l, yeah now it opened the rar file. Thank. | 13:30 |
| Hamilton1 | Does it have WinRAR features like repair archive? | 13:30 |
| Hamilton1 | Does Xubuntu have a "suckless" attitude in its default app selection? Like I remember Ubuntu's Archiver but Xubuntu's Engrampa seem to be better. The same for Riseretto image viewer vs Gnome's solution or thunar vs gnome's | 13:32 |
| jphilips | DarkTrick: many files will open based on their association with a launcher, but a user can set any random application to open it, which isnt associated with a launcher | 13:34 |
| DarkTrick | I guess MIME type config connects a mime type (i.e. file) with the corresponding launcher. Where is this config stored? | 13:42 |
| DarkTrick | /usr/share/applications/defaults.list seems to be system wide | 13:42 |
| DarkTrick | ah! | 13:43 |
| DarkTrick | ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list ...sometimes it's that easy! | 13:43 |
| DarkTrick | Thank you jphilips! | 13:43 |
| jphilips | your welcome DarkTrick | 13:44 |
| jphilips | there is a mime type editor app as well | 13:44 |
| xubuntu58i | good evening, i'm a news rookie user, from germany and i check your irc channel. O/ | 16:05 |
| diogenes_ | !welcome | 16:08 |
| ubottu | Hello and welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions or help others. If you'd like to chit-chat, please visit #xubuntu-offtopic and for developer discussion, see #xubuntu-devel :) | 16:08 |
| dmdf | hey guys what's the correct way to set system-wide proxy settings for xubuntu 18.04 ? | 16:15 |
| diogenes_ | dmdf, nm-connection-editor > double click on a network > proxy | 16:18 |
| xubuntu58i | ok thanks, my install session is done, i go off, maybee i come back and ask or help other people :) bye o/ | 16:18 |
| dmdf | diogenes_: it requires a PAC script ? | 16:21 |
| dmdf | i was just needing it to be localhost:8080 for all traffic | 16:21 |
| dmdf | regardless of which network it's connected to | 16:22 |
| diogenes_ | dmdf, for a more accurate answer you might want to ask in #networking. | 16:23 |

| malekmaroc7 | Hello! I wanted to ask how can I create a Hotspot? Xubuntu says that my WiFi chip doesn't support that although that isn't true. | 18:20 |
| malekmaroc7 | Is that driver-related? | 18:21 |
| diogenes_ | malekmaroc7, if proprietary broadcom then yes, driver, however you can create ad-hoc or cable share. | 18:22 |
| malekmaroc7 | I use a TP Link WiFi module | 18:23 |
| malekmaroc7 | I guess I can't use broadcom right? | 18:24 |
| diogenes_ | You can use broadcom but with free driver. | 18:25 |
| malekmaroc7 | I see, then I'm able to create hotspot right? | 18:25 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 18:26 |
| malekmaroc7 | Okay. I will try that out, thank you! | 18:26 |
| malekmaroc7 | I have another question | 18:26 |
| malekmaroc7 | For example, when I want to install Xubuntu on my Laptop where Windows 10 is already installed, why it doesn't detect Windows 10? | 18:28 |
| diogenes_ | What do you mean? It detects other OSes only after the installation at grub-update stage and grub is the last package that's installed. | 18:30 |
| malekmaroc7 | I mean if I select the installation path (or partition) it says “No other OS detected...” (~) | 18:32 |
| malekmaroc7 | Although Windows 10 is previously installed | 18:32 |
| diogenes_ | If win is installed in UEFI then you need to create a fat32 /boot/efi partition. | 18:34 |
| malekmaroc7 | I have a 32 GB partition (:D) | 18:49 |
| malekmaroc7 | available | 18:49 |
| malekmaroc7 | “(diogenes_) If win is installed in UEFI then you need to create a fat32 /boot/efi partition.” | 18:49 |
| malekmaroc7 | Through the xubuntu installer? | 18:50 |
| diogenes_ | malekmaroc7, yes. | 18:50 |
| malekmaroc7 | I see. After the successful installation of xubuntu there, I get an option what OS to boot during the start up of the PC right? | 18:51 |
| diogenes_ | malekmaroc7, yes | 18:56 |
| malekmaroc7 | Got it | 18:57 |
| malekmaroc7 | Thank you very much for the help! | 18:57 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome | 18:58 |
