| Arseniev | Hello. Is there any way to create a launcher in the menu editor so a terminal with an specifc command opens? | 08:42 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: You want xfce-terminal? | 08:46 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: Anyway, just call `xfce4-terminal -x $COMMAND` | 08:46 |
| gnrp | so make a starter with the terminal icon and this as the command to execute | 08:47 |
| Arseniev | ok, let me check. xfce-terminal is ok | 08:48 |
| gnrp | I have e.g. a command that starts `xfce4-terminal -x tmux` so I get a terminal window with tmux already inside | 08:48 |
| Arseniev | oh not working | 08:57 |
| Arseniev | upsc salicru | 08:57 |
| Arseniev | ths is the command I need to run very often in a terminal so I would better create a launcher for everyday use :) | 08:58 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: not working? What is not working? | 08:59 |
| Arseniev | xfce4-terminal -x $upsc salicru | 09:04 |
| gnrp | without the dollar sign | 09:04 |
| gnrp | sorry | 09:04 |
| Arseniev | did not show any terminal | 09:04 |
| gnrp | that was meant ot indicate the variable ;) | 09:04 |
| Arseniev | ooop ok :) | 09:04 |
| gnrp | just xfce4-terminal -x upsc salicru | 09:05 |
| Arseniev | ok, a terminal flashed very quickly and dissapeared | 09:05 |
| gnrp | yeah. Becuase this command is run instead of a shell | 09:06 |
| gnrp | what is your goal? You could make something like xfce4-terminal -x "upsc salicru; read" if you want to close the window only when you press enter | 09:07 |
| gnrp | or you want to have a regular shell afterwards? | 09:07 |
| gnrp | so what happens right now: A terminal will run, execute upsc salicru and when the command is over, closes again | 09:07 |
| Arseniev | I need it to stay as I need to read the result of such command | 09:08 |
| Arseniev | I can't read it in a milisecond haha | 09:09 |
| gnrp | then try this: xfce4-terminal -x "upsc salicru; read" | 09:09 |
| gnrp | then it will wait till you press enter | 09:09 |
| gnrp | or try this: xfce4-terminal -x "upsc salicru; sleep N" | 09:09 |
| gnrp | where you replace N by the amount of seconds that you want to see the terminal | 09:09 |
| Arseniev | error with both of them :S | 09:17 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: What's the error? | 09:17 |
| Arseniev | well i'll translate it because it is in spanish. | 09:19 |
| Arseniev | an error happened while running the son process. "upsc salicru; read" there is no such file or directory | 09:21 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: I'm offline in five minutes, so rather be quick if there's not somebody else jumping in ;) | 09:21 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: Aaah, I see | 09:21 |
| gnrp | with sleep it should owrk | 09:21 |
| gnrp | read is a shell built-in | 09:21 |
| Arseniev | ok | 09:21 |
| gnrp | you could start a shell to run that command ,but I'd recommend the tim hting | 09:21 |
| Arseniev | the same error | 09:22 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: Try "upsc salicru; /bin/sleep 5" | 09:22 |
| gnrp | Arseniev: Could also be you have to give the whole path for upsc | 09:23 |
| gnrp | you can find out with `which upsc` (just run in terminal to get the full path) | 09:24 |
| Arseniev | nothing seems to work hahah. Bad day. I'll try another day. Thank yo anyway gnrp | 09:25 |
| readid | hello i install xubuntu 18.04 | 13:17 |
| Maik | readid: xubuntu 18.04 will go EOL (End Of Life) this months and won't be supported anymore | 13:19 |
| remline | Yes, 20.04 is the current long term release. | 13:22 |
| Maik | he's goneanyway | 13:23 |
| Maik | i would like to have known if he has a 32bit machine or a 64bit one | 13:24 |
| Maik | most people install 18.04 because it's the only and last release with 32bit support | 13:24 |
| remline | Maik: I very much wonder, what percentage of 32bit installs are simply because the person didn't know whether to download 32 or 64? | 13:25 |
| remline | I've got pretty ancient hardware, but still it is 64 bit! | 13:25 |
| Maik | remline: also true. But there was a user in kubuntu yesterday who had a 32bit only machine so we had to tell him to switch to Debian. | 13:28 |
| fyrri | I've got a couple 32-bit systems still running :) | 13:40 |
| fyrri | theyre impractically slow for any real use, but still | 13:40 |
| remline | fyrri: Neat! What CPUs are they? | 13:43 |
| fyrri | AMD k6-2, thunderbird and one Mac Mini | 13:45 |
| fyrri | PPC Mac Mini | 13:45 |
| fyrri | I've kept them for nostalgia's sake all these years :) | 13:46 |
