| user14651 | hi everyone! hope you can help: trying to add shortcut to application menu. creating desktop entry in /usr/share/applications/ does create icon, but clicking on it wont start it. is there something else that has to be done in 20.04 please? thanks in advace | 08:36 |
| kc2bez | user14651: That is the correct process. The `exec` line of the desktop file will need to point to the full path for the application. | 08:40 |
| user14651 | yeah. i used to do this in lxde and always worked, but i have no luck doing the same in lxqt. full path is correct; but also did try to create a command in /usr/bin and pointed "EXEC" line to this command; this didnt help; starting same desktop entry from pacman-qt works; but does not work from application menu nor quick launch widget :( | 08:44 |
| kc2bez | user14651: I have done it in LXQt before too. Can you paste your desktop file? | 08:46 |
| user14651 | https://pastebin.com/NL1TYBkP | 08:52 |
| user14651 | i know exec command is bit complex, but like i have said earlier, i did also try to move this command in executable file in /usr/bin . this file run fine from terminal, so i have pointed EXEC line to this executable; still no luck | 08:54 |
| kc2bez | user14651: given the length of the command you may want to make a script and then call the script from the desktop file. | 08:56 |
| user14651 | see above; did that; | 08:56 |
| user14651 | kc2bez: i really do appreciate you trying to help me here :) | 08:58 |
| kc2bez | Perhaps try calling the actual desktop file from the terminal so you can see any errors? | 08:59 |
| user14651 | how to do that? by default desktop entry is not executable; i can set to be executable, but then what program to use to run desktop entry from terminal please? | 09:03 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> By the way, the password is not very secret, if you export it as env variable and write it into a file, which is readable by everyone | 09:04 |
| user14651 | lubot: file is not readable by everyone; and will be moved to .local/share/applications/ once i figure this out. also tor-ctrl port accepts only connections from localhost; i am only user on this desktop and home folder is encrypted; so it is still not the best practise, i feel good enough about it. | 09:13 |
| user14651 | the reason i export it to ENV VAR is so I can run torbrowser without starting another instance of tor, if i already have tor running as a service in background; there used to be a better way to do this in past, but ATM using ENV VAR is the only way I know how to achieve what i need. | 09:18 |

| Guest30216 | ciao | 09:20 |
| Guest30216 | nessuno? | 09:20 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> The home folder is not encrypted when you are using it. A little exploit is enough to check your env variables and any programm running as your user can read the file. … Being the only user is just an illusion, there are a lot of other technical users. … I am just saying that your solution is very fragile. | 09:30 |
| santimir[m] | i've been trying to access gmail from trojita but its not very straightforward. gmail is blocking the access | 09:32 |
| santimir[m] | is there any reasons why choosing this client instead of thunderbird? | 09:32 |
| user14651 | kc2bez: running desktop entry with gtk-launch starts the application fine | 09:32 |
| user14651 | santimir[m]: trojita should be fast and resource efficient; i still prefer sylpheed because trojita does not support search / filtering | 09:35 |
| santimir[m] | yes but you have to switch off security settings in gmail for trojita to work | 09:36 |
| santimir[m] | am I wrong? | 09:36 |
| kc2bez | user14651: I am unsure why that isn't launching for you from the menu. | 09:36 |
| kc2bez | santimir[m]: trojita is a qt application and thunderbird is a GTK application is one reason | 09:37 |
| kc2bez | thunderbird has the same security issues I believe. I have not tested that though. | 09:38 |
| santimir[m] | alright...i'm installing thunderbird to try that out | 09:38 |
| user14651 | kc2bez: nevermind; for now i will place desktop entry to desktop and launch from there while i try to figure it out. Thank you for all your help :) | 09:38 |
| kc2bez | Sorry I wasn't able to help there user14651 | 09:39 |
| user14651 | kc2bez: but its good to know i am not doing it incorrectly; i am sure i will find another way somehow | 09:40 |
| santimir[m] | thunderbird took 1 minute to run | 09:40 |
| santimir[m] | didn't need any security changes, AFAI can tell | 09:41 |
| user14651 | lubot: do you know a way of staring torbrowser without starting tor relay without exporting password to ENV VAR? i do appreciate you telling me about potential weakness, so i am not trying to argue with your statement, because I know you are right. however if i had exploit running on my system, disclosing tor ctrl passwd would not be my biggest worry. | 09:47 |
| user14651 | kc2bez: success; i though you might be curious how i did it: | 10:28 |
| user14651 | I had move command into script AND cd into folder where the script is located; absolute path is not working; | 10:28 |
| user14651 | not sure its the best approach, but changed EXEC line to EXEC=sh -c "cd <PATH TO FOLDER CONTAINING SCRIPT> && <SCRIPT NAME>" | 10:28 |
| user14651 | i got this idea because xdg-lauch <PATH TO FILE> only works if your PWD is where the file is | 10:28 |
| user14651 | not sure why it does not work if script is in /usr/bin | 10:28 |
| user14651 | Thanks again because without your suggestion to run it from terminal i would not play with xdg-launch | 10:28 |
| kc2bez | whoops, I think the bot quieted you user14651 | 10:29 |
| kc2bez | You may have to paste that | 10:30 |
| kc2bez | I am glad you were able to figure it out user14651 | 10:30 |
| user14651 | kc2bez: https://pastebin.com/A6X4Kcng | 10:32 |
| kc2bez | Excellent user14651 thanks for the update. | 10:34 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> Sorry, user14651 I can't help you. … The last time I played with Tor is several years ago and my knowledge is certainly not up to date. … It sounds like a problem, that also other people have, I recommend to ask in a Tor related channel | 10:46 |
| user14651 | lubot: the way i currently run is has been suggested to me by tor devs some time ago :/ but i will look into it again; thank you | 11:01 |

| lubot | <tbs61> @genii [<genii> Underneath they all use the same drivers], hmm:/ | 15:07 |
| raskol | Where do I report bugs in the installer? | 15:12 |
| kc2bez | raskol: you would use `ubuntu-bug calamares` for issues with >18.10 or `ubuntu-bug ubiquity` for issues with 18.04 | 15:19 |
| kc2bez | Also see our wiki page regarding bugs https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/bugs/ | 15:20 |

| guiverc | at turn on, the keyboard layout for entering encryption key (lubu 20.04) is controlled by uefi/bios isn't it?? | 22:41 |
| * guiverc thinks i found enough info in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 (for comment anyway) | 22:44 | |
| wxl | well remember our FDE isn't Ubuntu's | 22:44 |
| wxl | ubiquity doesn't encrypt /boot | 22:44 |
| wxl | so it's not actually FULL disk encryption | 22:44 |
| wxl | the value of that is more control, so they can have user-defined keyboard layouts when entering the password | 22:45 |
| guiverc | oops... i'm was forming comment for https://askubuntu.com/questions/1235842/how-to-set-keyboard-layout-for-boot-up-hard-disk-encryption-in-lubuntu-20-04 (user using non-en having trouble unlocking..) | 22:45 |
| guiverc | wxl do you know of a wiki/something I can read to understand better so I can respond? | 22:46 |
| wxl | eh | 22:47 |
| wxl | guiverc: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1203 | 22:48 |
| guiverc | Thank you (greatly) wxl | 22:49 |
