[13:44] <Hamilton> Why can't I empty my Trash in thunar? It just quits the app
[14:16] <Hamilton> lol shift + del  crashed thunar
[14:28] <Cram> Hi, Can anyone assist please. My Ubuntu Studio 19.10 is very slow. Understood. I have 8gig ram, 160 HHD sata and Nvideo screen card which I've disabled now and the speed is not much faster. When changing between applications, opening applications etc it takes about 30 seconds to open and sometimesit does not open applications at all.On Mint I could
[14:28] <Cram> find the system info but on this distro I have no idea where to find it.
[14:34] <diogenes_> Cram, run: inxi -F
[14:34] <jphilips> Today and tomorrow are the last days in the #UbuntuTestingWeek, so all those interested to help improve the stability of this month's Xubuntu 20.04, please read this - https://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-20-04-testing-week/
[17:59] <xu-irc60wsa> Hi. I followed the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
[17:59] <xu-irc60wsa> to disable network manager at startup
[17:59] <xu-irc60wsa> ''Using Systemd
[18:00] <xu-irc60wsa> Which subsystem is xubuntu running (upstart or systemd?)
[18:00] <xu-irc60wsa> I can't re-enable it now.
[18:04] <xu-irc60wsa> says networkmanager.service not found
[18:05] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, NetworkManager.service.
[18:12] <xu-irc60wsa> lol this is sad. It worked. All because of capitalization.
[18:13] <xu-irc60wsa> Do you know how to run an app with admin privileges at startup?
[18:13] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, yes.
[18:14] <xu-irc60wsa> Please teach me
[18:14] <xu-irc60wsa> btw I was probably a few minutes from re-installing xubuntu and you saved me. thanks
[18:14] <diogenes_> !rc.local
[18:15] <diogenes_> no clue if it still supports rc.local but try and see.
[18:16] <xu-irc60wsa> says it's inactive
[18:16] <xu-irc60wsa> (dead)
[18:17] <xu-irc60wsa> Is there a guide somewhere?
[18:17] <xu-irc60wsa> I couldn't find something to work
[18:17] <diogenes_> https://vpsfix.com/community/server-administration/no-etc-rc-local-file-on-ubuntu-18-04-heres-what-to-do/
[18:24] <xu-irc60wsa> I performed the instructions. I don't know where to find ''this file to execute commands at system boot''
[18:25] <xu-irc60wsa> I couldn't find rc.local and I don't know how to open bin/sh
[18:25] <xu-irc60wsa> Also I see I have some ''cron'' files. I heard I could use cron to do this but have 0 knowledge otherwise
[18:26] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, wait i'm a bit busy.
[18:31] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, ok what command you wanna rut at startup?
[18:31] <xu-irc60wsa> I want to start an app I installed. I don't know what the command would be
[18:32] <xu-irc60wsa> I was able to add it in startup settings but I think it doesn't work because it always needs admin rights
[18:32] <xu-irc60wsa> It's a network manager
[18:34] <diogenes_> you can't run the application without knowing the command.
[18:35] <xu-irc60wsa> What would the command be for running an application? How can I find out.
[18:36] <diogenes_> where is the application? in the menu?
[18:37] <xu-irc60wsa> The application is already installed. It's in the session and startup applicaiton autostart menu where it can be selected
[18:38] <xu-irc60wsa> It also has its own window when its running. An icon to start it appears in the start menu and on the desktop.
[18:38] <xu-irc60wsa> Oh I think I found the command
[18:39] <xu-irc60wsa> I went to the app's file's property, then launcher, and it shows there the command
[18:39] <diogenes_> hover the mouse over or click edit and you get the command.
[18:39] <xu-irc60wsa> Ok I got the command. I was also able to start a second instance lol
[18:41] <xu-irc60wsa> status still says rc.local is dead (inactive) and the file isn't there
[18:42] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, i asked about what the command was.
[18:42] <xu-irc60wsa> sudo /usr/local/{filename}/bin/run I'd rather not reveal the app.
[18:44] <xu-irc60wsa> Maybe it wasn't installed. Maybe I added the application to startup by copying the command or selecting the file. I probably just selected the file.
[18:45] <xu-irc60wsa> I just created a new entry in the  applicaiton autostart menu using the command
[18:46] <diogenes_> what happens if you run in terminal: /usr/local/{filename}/bin/run
[18:46] <diogenes_> without sudo
[18:50] <xu-irc60wsa> ''authentication is needed to run .... as the super user'' asks for password
[18:51] <xu-irc60wsa> Anyway I found a way to atleast block user error by preventing networkmanager from autostarting
[18:51] <xu-irc60wsa> so I have to enable network manager, which reminds me to start the program.
[18:52] <xu-irc60wsa> When I canceled it says ''request dismissed'
[18:52] <diogenes_> sudo nano /etc/rc.local
[18:52] <xu-irc60wsa> I got to this terminal I don't know how to use
[18:52] <xu-irc60wsa> as before
[18:53] <xu-irc60wsa> Shows [New file] and a bunch of ^[letters] [text] at the bottom
[18:53] <xu-irc60wsa> like ^G Get Help
[18:53] <xu-irc60wsa> at the top it says GNNU nano 4.3 and /etc/rc.local
[18:53] <xu-irc60wsa> GNU*
[18:55] <diogenes_> ok close the terminal and open a new one.
[18:55] <xu-irc60wsa> Ok done.
[18:55] <xu-irc60wsa> Writing your latest command gives me what I described to you
[18:56] <diogenes_> i will be slow because multitasking so be patient.
[19:01] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, ok in the newly opened terminal run the following: pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mousepad
[19:01] <diogenes_> enter password and tell me when done.
[19:16] <xu-irc60wsa> Before this I ran a restart test and I discovered that adding the program to autostart didn't do anything
[19:16] <xu-irc60wsa> What is this?
[19:17] <xu-irc60wsa> said could not connect
[19:17] <xu-irc60wsa> bc I didn't have ntwrok manager on
[19:20] <xu-irc60wsa> I connected to the internet and it still said connection refused
[19:22] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, i'd not suggest you to mess up with anything network related until you learn how it works and you know what you're doing.
[19:23] <xu-irc60wsa> It's just openvpn
[19:25] <diogenes_>  openvpn doesn't require the trickery you're doing.
[19:25] <xu-irc60wsa> but I want the VPN to run at startup
[19:28] <diogenes_> xu-irc60wsa, networking is a very complicated sience that people study for years so i'd advice you to first read the docs and manuals and also ask in /j #networking.
[19:28] <diogenes_> science*
[19:29] <xu-irc60wsa> Running the app myself at startup solves the problem. I just wanted to automate the starting of the program at startup
[19:30] <diogenes_> and i tried to help.
[19:30] <xu-irc60wsa> Thanks for that
[19:34] <xu-irc60wsa> I'm trying crontab
[20:23] <xu-irc60wsa> So I added to crontab
[20:24] <xu-irc60wsa> @reboot [command]
[20:24] <xu-irc60wsa> and I saved it and nothing happened
