=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:47] having trouble installing Chromium on my laptop that has XUBUNTU 18.04 === jmcgnh_ is now known as jmcgnh [08:54] 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/ [13:06] When I doubleclick a file to open a it inside a program, how is the application call executed? [13:06] Is the same launcher file used as for the menu entry in whiskers menu? [13:10] DarkTrick: application call would be something like 'appname filename' [13:10] so it's not related to the launcher settings for the menu. [13:11] i presume it will use the launcher menu execution command [13:11] if the file open is pointing at the launcher [13:12] Hm... testing it with vlc shows, that opening it through a file calls whats defined in the menu... [13:12] "if the file open is pointing at the launcher" I don't understand this. [13:12] Background: I'm trying to figure out, if the behaviour I experience is normal or strange [13:16] Can Engrampa Archiver extract/archive RAR? [13:24] Hamilton1: yes, but you need to install the unrar package. [13:24] lightero1l, nice so it automatically calls it? [13:24] Hamilton1: yes. [13:26] 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. [13:30] lightero1l, yeah now it opened the rar file. Thank. [13:30] Does it have WinRAR features like repair archive? [13:32] 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 [13:34] 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 [13:42] I guess MIME type config connects a mime type (i.e. file) with the corresponding launcher. Where is this config stored? [13:42] /usr/share/applications/defaults.list seems to be system wide [13:43] ah! [13:43] ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list ...sometimes it's that easy! [13:43] Thank you jphilips! [13:44] your welcome DarkTrick [13:44] there is a mime type editor app as well [16:05] good evening, i'm a news rookie user, from germany and i check your irc channel. O/ [16:08] !welcome [16:08] 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 :) [16:15] hey guys what's the correct way to set system-wide proxy settings for xubuntu 18.04 ? [16:18] dmdf, nm-connection-editor > double click on a network > proxy [16:18] ok thanks, my install session is done, i go off, maybee i come back and ask or help other people :) bye o/ [16:21] diogenes_: it requires a PAC script ? [16:21] i was just needing it to be localhost:8080 for all traffic [16:22] regardless of which network it's connected to [16:23] dmdf, for a more accurate answer you might want to ask in #networking. === Church- is now known as Church === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [18:20] 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. [18:21] Is that driver-related? [18:22] malekmaroc7, if proprietary broadcom then yes, driver, however you can create ad-hoc or cable share. [18:23] I use a TP Link WiFi module [18:24] I guess I can't use broadcom right? [18:25] You can use broadcom but with free driver. [18:25] I see, then I'm able to create hotspot right? [18:26] yes [18:26] Okay. I will try that out, thank you! [18:26] I have another question [18:28] For example, when I want to install Xubuntu on my Laptop where Windows 10 is already installed, why it doesn't detect Windows 10? [18:30] 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. [18:32] I mean if I select the installation path (or partition) it says “No other OS detected...” (~) [18:32] Although Windows 10 is previously installed [18:34] If win is installed in UEFI then you need to create a fat32 /boot/efi partition. [18:49] I have a 32 GB partition (:D) [18:49] available [18:49] “(diogenes_) If win is installed in UEFI then you need to create a fat32 /boot/efi partition.” [18:50] Through the xubuntu installer? [18:50] malekmaroc7, yes. [18:51] 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? [18:56] malekmaroc7, yes [18:57] Got it [18:57] Thank you very much for the help! [18:58] you're welcome
