[08:42] <Arseniev> Hello. Is there any way to create a launcher in the menu editor so a terminal with an specifc command opens?
[08:46] <gnrp> Arseniev: You want xfce-terminal?
[08:46] <gnrp> Arseniev: Anyway, just call `xfce4-terminal -x $COMMAND`
[08:47] <gnrp> so make a starter with the terminal icon and this as the command to execute
[08:48] <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
[08:57] <Arseniev> oh not working
[08:57] <Arseniev> upsc salicru
[08:58] <Arseniev> ths is the command I need to run very often in a terminal so I would better create a launcher for everyday use :)
[08:59] <gnrp> Arseniev: not working? What is not working?
[09:04] <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 :)
[09:05] <gnrp> just     xfce4-terminal -x upsc salicru
[09:05] <Arseniev> ok, a terminal flashed very quickly and dissapeared
[09:06] <gnrp> yeah. Becuase this command is run instead of a shell
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <Arseniev> I need it to stay as I need to read the result of such command
[09:09] <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
[09:17] <Arseniev> error with both of them :S
[09:17] <gnrp> Arseniev: What's the error?
[09:19] <Arseniev> well i'll translate it because it is in spanish.
[09:21] <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
[09:22] <Arseniev> the same error
[09:22] <gnrp> Arseniev: Try "upsc salicru; /bin/sleep 5"
[09:23] <gnrp> Arseniev: Could also be you have to give the whole path for upsc
[09:24] <gnrp> you can find out with `which upsc` (just run in terminal to get the full path)
[09:25] <Arseniev> nothing seems to work hahah. Bad day. I'll try another day. Thank yo anyway gnrp
[13:17] <readid> hello i install xubuntu 18.04
[13:19] <Maik> readid: xubuntu 18.04 will go EOL (End Of Life) this months and won't be supported anymore
[13:22] <remline> Yes, 20.04 is the current long term release.
[13:23] <Maik> he's goneanyway
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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!
[13:28] <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.
[13:40] <fyrri> I've got a couple 32-bit systems still running :)
[13:40] <fyrri> theyre impractically slow for any real use, but still
[13:43] <remline> fyrri: Neat! What CPUs are they?
[13:45] <fyrri> AMD k6-2, thunderbird and one Mac Mini
[13:45] <fyrri> PPC Mac Mini
[13:46] <fyrri> I've kept them for nostalgia's sake all these years :)
