[19:08]  * willem just trying out
[21:04] <c44> OK
[21:05] <c44> I need to get the computer back to default
[21:08] <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.
[21:12] <gnrp> c44: Uhm, what happened?
[21:12] <gnrp> c44: Did you try creating a new user account?
[21:12] <c44> user account?
[21:13] <c44> To use the computer?
[21:15] <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
[21:17] <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
[21:18] <c44> Yes I was explaining sorry my typing skills is not quick honey
[21:19] <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.
[21:20] <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
[21:22] <c44> hello
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <c44> The computer came with certain softwares and honestly it didn't give details what they were.
[21:32] <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
[21:56] <metbsd> is there way to set proxy for chrome
[21:58] <metbsd> only for google-chrome is ok
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <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.
[22:13] <metbsd> where is .desktop? is it read by xfce?
[22:14] <gnrp> c44: I suppose a reinstall would be the best option for you?
[22:15] <gnrp> metbsd: Your own ones are in ~/.local/share/applications
[22:15] <gnrp> in /usr/share/applications you find the normal ones
[22:21] <metbsd> i found chrome.desktop
[22:21] <metbsd> google-chhrome.desktop
[22:21] <metbsd> what do i put there
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <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
