| frad | I upgraded to 20.04 64 bits and now there is no trash icon. What's the default behavior when I delet a file? Does it still go to the trash or does it get automatically erased? | 09:53 |
| diogenes_ | frad, 'Delete' option removes the files for good. | 09:55 |
| frad | ok, pressing 'supr' nukes the file | 09:56 |
| frad | is there a default live usb maker packaged with xubuntu? | 09:58 |
| diogenes_ | frad, if the disks is installed you can use it for usb writing. | 10:01 |
| * diogenes_ is not sure if gnome-disk-utility is there by default. | 10:02 | |
| frad | do you mean command 'diskd' from deb fdutils (5.5-20060227-8) diogenes_ ? | 10:03 |
| frad | yup | 10:05 |
| frad | wait | 10:07 |
| diogenes_ | frad, in menu type: disks | 10:07 |
| frad | sudo apt install disks | 10:08 |
| frad | Reading package lists... Done E: Unable to locate package disks | 10:08 |
| frad | it may be disksd | 10:08 |
| frad | diskd* | 10:08 |
| diogenes_ | sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility | 10:08 |
| vimart | It would be better do a fresh installation instead upgrade but you've done it already. | 10:24 |
| frad | vimart, is it always better to fresh install instead of upgrading? | 10:43 |
| brainwash | always? no | 10:47 |
| frad | so how do I choose? | 10:49 |
| brainwash | depends | 10:53 |
| brainwash | upgrading is the default route | 10:53 |
| brainwash | fresh install is a fallback | 10:53 |
| brainwash | ideally, you first create a backup and do the upgrade | 10:54 |
| brainwash | if it fails or does not give the expected result, you do a fresh install | 10:54 |
| brainwash | or revert back to the previous state | 10:54 |
| frad | got it | 10:55 |
| brainwash | not having to reinstall all the time is a big selling point of linux distributions after all | 10:55 |
| frad | brainwash, isn't the same with windows or mac? | 10:55 |
| brainwash | it is, but quite some people still live in the past :) | 10:56 |
| brainwash | where you had to reinstall windows 95 every few weeks | 10:56 |
| frad | ... who uses windows 95 nowadays? | 10:57 |
| frad | o | 10:57 |
| frad | sorry | 10:57 |
| brainwash | not nowadays, but some people still have that old mindset | 10:57 |
| brainwash | windows = reinstall often | 10:57 |
| brainwash | windows = many viruses and malware | 10:58 |
| brainwash | etc. | 10:58 |
| frad | lol, ok, I wasn't aware of that | 10:59 |
| vimart | It's kinda difficult to type in on my new Xubuntu 20.04 on my laptop because of Touchpad is there a way to switch it off while typing on keyboard? | 11:00 |
| brainwash | vimart: you don't have this switch? https://i.stack.imgur.com/pX6It.png | 11:03 |
| vimart | I looked for something like that in settings, I'll have a lookt at it now | 11:04 |
| vimart | well it appeared I had to change the device | 11:05 |
| vimart | to see Touchpad option | 11:05 |
| vimart | thanks brainwash | 11:05 |
| brainwash | nice | 11:05 |
| xu-irc52w | hi | 13:24 |
| deadrom | hi | 16:47 |
| deadrom | got adventurous and hooked a 3rd monitor to a radeon HD 7750 (7yrs old) on xubuntu 18.04, so far works but the desktop background in the third leaves window-drag-rubbish. who's my prime suspect, xfce, 18.04 or radeon driver? no big issue, just would like to solve | 16:50 |
| ejr | hi, so i've just done a fresh xubuntu install. i cannot shutdown or restart the machine, both options are greyed out. Logout isn't. | 20:39 |
| ejr | When I logout and get into my login manager, I also have no option to shutdown | 20:39 |
| tripelb | ejr didnt wait 2 mins. | 21:20 |
| deadrom | maybe found how to shutdown | 21:33 |
| frad | I have a hdd encrypted with luks. Id like to remove luks but keep the data. Is there an easier way than copying all data and reformatting the hdd? | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | frad: cryptsetup-reencrypt --decrypt | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | but certainly you'll want to ensure your backups are ingood shape before any such operations | 22:32 |
| frad | mmm... | 22:33 |
| frad | it would be wiser to copy data and nuke, less time wasted | 22:34 |
| exit70[m] | hey, does xubuntu support i686 from 20.04 and on? | 22:41 |
| Unit193 | exit70[m]: Nope. | 23:09 |
| exit70[m] | k | 23:10 |
| Unit193 | No Ubuntu flavor can, since the archive just isn't there. | 23:13 |
| jdwwatts | how do i back up all my files to a usb ? | 23:50 |
| Bashing-om | jdwwatts: I kinda prefer ' rsync ' for this function. | 23:52 |
| jdwwatts | I saw that . but didnt try it do downlaod and install it an then it will do the saving of files ? | 23:54 |
| Bashing-om | jdwwatts: Verry versitile - and comes with a learning curve to be surmounted. Gets the job done ricky Tic. | 23:59 |
