sophiedid anyone have problems with system tray icons dissapearing in 21.0401:37
sophiei had to go back to 20.04 as the sys tray was unreliable01:37
sophiealso i had two network icons in 21.0401:37
Unit193sophie: The latter is a known issue, it's because it gets confused and uses both tray icons and statusnotifier.  Restarting nm-applet will fix that.02:51
sophieUnit193: i wonder if it will be resolved for 22.0402:59
sophieit was really confusing02:59
sophiealso looking forward to the split view in thunar03:00
Unit193sophie: I see bugs reported going back to 2012, I don't think they'll be fixing it anytime soon! :P03:02
Unit1934.17 has split view?  I haven't packaged that one yet, sorry.  I'll hopefully get to it "soon".03:02
sophiehttps://9to5linux.com/xfces-thunar-file-manager-gets-split-view-file-creation-times-and-more03:04
Unit193Yep, 4.17.03:10
Unit193That requires libxfce4util 4.17, libxfce4ui 4.17, and exo 4.17....  I can't package that up real quick for you.03:11
Unit193https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tree/configure.ac.in#n14703:11
sophieoh03:12
sophieare you one of the packages for xubuntu03:12
sophiei wasnt asking you to do do anything but nice to meet someone that is involved with the OS03:13
Unit193Yeah I do the packaging of Xfce for Debian/Xubuntu.  I know, just looking if I could whip something up real quick. :P03:13
sophieim excited for the split view03:14
sophieits something im looking forward to in the next LTS03:14
sophiewhich sounds pretty nerdy lol03:14
Unit193Meh, fine I'm looking into popping those into a PPA..03:21
sophieyay03:44
sophieyou dont have to03:44
sophiebut wow appreciated03:44
Unit193Meh, LP is slow to publish, but it's getting there.03:56
sophie<303:57
sophiei get pretty amazed you can get everything compiled and sorted so fast04:04
sophiexfce is no small thing04:04
Unit193At least it's C, where it compiles quickly.04:07
Unit193I'm only nabbing libxfce4util, libxfce4ui, exo, and thunar for now.04:07
Unit193sophie: Right, so now you're just waiting for exo to publish, then thunar will re-trigger and you can try it out.  Remember they're development builds, and it'd be appreciated if you could file bugs for any bugs you hit. https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/experimental/+packages04:28
sophieUnit193: sorry for being dumb. how do i add the ppa to my repos04:50
Unit193`sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/experimental`04:50
sophiety!04:50
Unit193If you'd later like to revert that...04:50
Unit193!ppa-purge04:50
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html04:50
sophieupgrading04:52
Unit193Note that thunar hasn't published yet, on the first link I gave thunar needs a green checkmark rather than the gear.04:53
sophiegot ya04:53
sophiei didnt see it in the list04:53
sophietime to reboot. if i dissapear you broke me <304:54
sophieall working <304:57
sophiethunar is kinda dead04:57
sophiefailed to launch file manager04:57
sophieahh i think i just have to redo the keyboard shortcut04:58
Unit193There you go, thunar finally published just now.04:59
sophiethats got it04:59
sophieoooo04:59
Unit193In a terminal, thunar -q  then open a folder after that.  Thunar runs as a daemon, -q is 'quit'.05:00
sophiemy word you're quick05:00
sophieokay upgraded. another reboot05:00
Unit193Uh, I should really warn you.  As more 4.17 releases land, I'll be adding them to that PPA, so you may want to disable it or whatnot before you end up running devel releases of more modules.05:01
sophiegot ya05:02

xu-help3wHI last night logged in xu-help53w I sent a query about starting Web (Epiphany) in Xubuntu. Being new to this help line i am having a problem picking up the thread to see the response. Clive08:37
gnrpxu-help3w: You did not reply yesterday08:40
gnrpgnrp | xu-help53w: What happens when you type in the terminal 'exo-open --launch WebBrowser' ?08:40
gnrpgnrp | anyway, you can just go to Settings -> Keyboard and then replace the Super+W shortcut08:40
xu-help3wI get a "Failed to execute default WEb Browser" 08:44
gnrpxu-help3w: I don't recover your problem exactly08:52
gnrpxu-help3w: When you go on Settings -> Default Applications, what is shown there?08:52
xu-help3wI Preferred Applications I just have Web. I have also tried Epiphany there with same result. This problem has only arisen after installing Web from flatpak. I can launch Web just by clicking on the icon in the list os Applications.08:58
