[01:47] <JMan_Canadian_Pa> having trouble installing Chromium on my laptop that has XUBUNTU 18.04
[08:54] <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/
[13:06] <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?
[13:10] <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.
[13:11] <jphilips> i presume it will use the launcher menu execution command
[13:11] <jphilips> if the file open is pointing at the launcher
[13:12] <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
[13:16] <Hamilton1> Can Engrampa Archiver extract/archive RAR?
[13:24] <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.
[13:26] <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.
[13:30] <Hamilton1> lightero1l, yeah now it opened the rar file. Thank.
[13:30] <Hamilton1> Does it have WinRAR features like repair archive?
[13:32] <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
[13:34] <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
[13:42] <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
[13:43] <DarkTrick> ah!
[13:43] <DarkTrick> ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list ...sometimes it's that easy!
[13:43] <DarkTrick> Thank you jphilips!
[13:44] <jphilips> your welcome DarkTrick
[13:44] <jphilips> there is a mime type editor app as well
[16:05] <xubuntu58i> good evening, i'm a news rookie user, from germany and i check your irc channel. O/
[16:08] <diogenes_> !welcome
[16:15] <dmdf> hey guys what's the correct way to set system-wide proxy settings for xubuntu 18.04 ?
[16:18] <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/
[16:21] <dmdf> diogenes_: it requires a PAC script ?
[16:21] <dmdf> i was just needing it to be localhost:8080 for all traffic
[16:22] <dmdf> regardless of which network it's connected to
[16:23] <diogenes_> dmdf, for a more accurate answer you might want to ask in #networking.
[18:20] <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.
[18:21] <malekmaroc7> Is that driver-related?
[18:22] <diogenes_> malekmaroc7, if proprietary broadcom then yes, driver, however you can create ad-hoc or cable share.
[18:23] <malekmaroc7> I use a TP Link WiFi module
[18:24] <malekmaroc7> I guess I can't use broadcom right?
[18:25] <diogenes_> You can use broadcom but with free driver.
[18:25] <malekmaroc7> I see, then I'm able to create hotspot right?
[18:26] <diogenes_> yes
[18:26] <malekmaroc7> Okay. I will try that out, thank you!
[18:26] <malekmaroc7> I have another question
[18:28] <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?
[18:30] <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.
[18:32] <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
[18:34] <diogenes_> If win is installed in UEFI then you need to create a fat32 /boot/efi partition.
[18:49] <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.”
[18:50] <malekmaroc7> Through the xubuntu installer?
[18:50] <diogenes_> malekmaroc7, yes.
[18:51] <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?
[18:56] <diogenes_> malekmaroc7, yes
[18:57] <malekmaroc7> Got it
[18:57] <malekmaroc7> Thank you very much for the help!
[18:58] <diogenes_> you're welcome
