| * willem just trying out | 19:08 | |
| c44 | OK | 21:04 |
| c44 | I need to get the computer back to default | 21:05 |
| c44 | I have lost complete control of it's functions. and was trying to transfer my new software shortcuts on the main page but failed. Xubuntu on a emachine is like now my least favorite computers. | 21:08 |
| gnrp | c44: Uhm, what happened? | 21:12 |
| gnrp | c44: Did you try creating a new user account? | 21:12 |
| c44 | user account? | 21:12 |
| c44 | To use the computer? | 21:13 |
| gnrp | c44: If you want help, you need to explain a bit more what you did and what it is that does not work anymore | 21:15 |
| c44 | What happened was that I installed 2 new softwares Pivot and well was attempting for garage band but then I notice the screen froze which this tired old computer has a habit of doing. I wanted to check was I hacked or something because this pandemic proved people just have nothing better to do. So as I put an antivirus on the thing it just went to | 21:17 |
| c44 | hockey sticks. So I couldn't navigate my pages aka firefox with my mouse or the minimize function because it disappeared completely | 21:17 |
| c44 | Yes I was explaining sorry my typing skills is not quick honey | 21:18 |
| gnrp | I suppose you restarted already | 21:19 |
| c44 | I have | 21:19 |
| gnrp | you can pretty surely remove teh antivirus | 21:19 |
| gnrp | did you try another user account? I.e., creating a new user account? | 21:19 |
| c44 | I did. | 21:19 |
| c44 | I didn't try to create another account | 21:20 |
| c44 | sorry I meant I removed the anti virus along with other stuff | 21:20 |
| c44 | I thought these pre-programs were probably the issue | 21:20 |
| c44 | hello | 21:22 |
| gnrp | what do you mean with pre programs? | 21:24 |
| gnrp | maybe try this first. Creating a new user account and logging in with that | 21:24 |
| c44 | The computer came with certain softwares and honestly it didn't give details what they were. | 21:25 |
| c44 | like dssim and zoom, The emachine doesn't even have a camera. and I have no idea what DSSIM is but when i log into this computer it calls itself Xubuntu which is confusing I thought like a Mac, Hp or even Acer the names on the devices themselves would be on the screen. So I deleted by accident files after I lost functions related to xubuntu because | 21:32 |
| c44 | these files aren't even named xubuntu and thankfully we're chatting here because I am pretty sure I butchered the name xubuntu | 21:32 |
| metbsd | is there way to set proxy for chrome | 21:56 |
| metbsd | only for google-chrome is ok | 21:58 |
| gnrp | metbsd: I am not sure, but it says it uses the system settings, no? | 22:10 |
| gnrp | then you can usually set that with environment variables. You'd have to edit the .desktop file | 22:10 |
| c44 | I just need to send this thing back to default. I'm not sure if chrome is helping or harming but I literally had to punch the keypad just to respond I'm not violent normally but this thing has issues beyong proxy which I have no clue what that is. Is that when I substitute firefox for chrome? Cause honestly I get big brother is watching our every | 22:11 |
| c44 | move but when I look up anything on chrome I recieve an email about it that's creepy. | 22:11 |
| metbsd | where is .desktop? is it read by xfce? | 22:13 |
| gnrp | c44: I suppose a reinstall would be the best option for you? | 22:14 |
| gnrp | metbsd: Your own ones are in ~/.local/share/applications | 22:15 |
| gnrp | in /usr/share/applications you find the normal ones | 22:15 |
| metbsd | i found chrome.desktop | 22:21 |
| metbsd | google-chhrome.desktop | 22:21 |
| metbsd | what do i put there | 22:21 |
| gnrp | metbsd: I can't tell you ot of my head. I just remember vaguely there is something like that | 22:22 |
| gnrp | see e.g. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-set-proxy-environment-variable/ | 22:22 |
| gnrp | and https://askubuntu.com/questions/144968/set-variable-in-desktop-file | 22:22 |
| gnrp | or yeah, just use a script to set the environment variables and then start chrome from that script | 22:23 |
| metbsd | did that. but chrome seem ignoring those | 22:23 |
