| xu-irc73w | Hello, I have a question that somewhere here might be able to address: | 06:34 |
|---|---|---|
| xu-irc73w | I downloaded the latest version of the GTK2/3 theme greybird and extracted it to /usr/share/themes, but it does not show up in the appearance settings of XFCE. I’ve tried extracting to /.themes as well with no success. | 06:34 |
| xu-irc73w | https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird | 06:34 |
| xu-irc73w | I’m attempting to install version 3.22.15, but all versions after 3.22.11 have this issue where they don’t appear in the settings menu after extracting to proper the directory. I have all dependencies installed, so it should work. Not sure if it’s a bug with the theme or just me. | 06:34 |
| KBar | xu-irc73w, version of Xubuntu? | 06:36 |
| xu-irc73w | It seems that this incompatibility started after version 3.22.11 when the devs made a larger change to the code, release notes state "Rebase partly on Adwaita 3.24 to get features and reduce diff" | 06:37 |
| xu-irc73w | KBar: I am actually using Debian 11 with XFCE 4.16 to be honest. | 06:37 |
| KBar | This is a Xubuntu support channel. Please consider joining #xfce or forum.xfce.org | 06:37 |
| xu-irc73w | Okay, thanks. I will ask there. | 06:38 |

| Super_Ape | hello, good morning | 08:19 |
| KBar | Good morning to you too! | 08:22 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, and welcome. How can we help you? | 08:22 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, Hi, I has a little problem. How do I get Thunderbird to launch at startup? The App "Startup Aplications" from Xubuntu doesn't work | 08:24 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, what version of Xubuntu are you running? | 08:25 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, https://imgur.com/Vbd7LUv.png | 08:25 |
| Super_Ape | let me see | 08:26 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, this is the command: `lsb_release -rd` | 08:26 |
| KBar | To show the current version. | 08:26 |
| Super_Ape | dUbuntu 20.04.3 LTS | 08:27 |
| Super_Ape | Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS | 08:27 |
| KBar | Stay here. Let me test it. Will reboot and come back. | 08:27 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, Thank you | 08:28 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, I don't have Thunderbird but Firefox works here. What version is installed? `dpkg -l thunderbird` | 08:32 |
| KBar | Actually, just share the whole output. | 08:32 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, `dpkg -l thunderbird | pastebinit -b pastebin.com | 08:33 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, thunderbird 1:91.3.2+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 amd64 | 08:33 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, does it have two i's in the beginning (first column before the name)? | 08:34 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, yes, what does it mean? | 08:35 |
| KBar | It means it's status is set to install, and the package itself is installed. Can you start it fine? | 08:36 |
| KBar | it's > its | 08:36 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, how did you install it? This version is not available in Focal (20.04). Could you please show me the output of `apt-cache policy thunderbird`? | 08:37 |
| Super_Ape | yes, really runs well. I don't know what happened with that... | 08:37 |
| Super_Ape | okay | 08:37 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, just to make sure. You have set up your account, right? | 08:38 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, https://imgur.com/3Yw6A00.png | 08:38 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, yes | 08:38 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, okay. It looks like you've installed it from Mozilla's PPA. Anyway, it should not interfere with its autostart. | 08:42 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, can you try without the `%u` argument? | 08:43 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, sure, let me try | 08:43 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, be right back | 08:43 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, It works... the %u was the problem. i dont put this %u there.. was there be default | 08:50 |
| Super_Ape | but now... When it starts show a msg failed to connect to imap server | 08:50 |
| Super_Ape | but it connects | 08:50 |
| Super_Ape | kkk | 08:50 |
| KBar | Ah, I see. `%u` means open URL | 08:50 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, does it work now? | 08:50 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, YES | 08:50 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, that error is probably because now Thunderbird is opened before your Internet connection is up. | 08:51 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, Yes. i think it | 08:52 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, if this message bothers you and you'd rather not see it, you can add some delay to its autostart. | 08:53 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, I am trying to do it | 08:53 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, oh. I see. You can do this: `sleep 5s && thunderbird`, but maybe there is a better way to do it. | 08:54 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, where i put this line? | 08:54 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, just where you modified it. The "Command" field. | 08:55 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, is it possible to start thunderbird minimized ? | 08:56 |
| KBar | Yes, it is. | 08:56 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, you can add some commands, but check the Thunderbird settings first. | 08:56 |
| KBar | It should have an option for that. | 08:56 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, Okay, let me try the sleep 5s first kkk | 08:56 |
| Super_Ape | be right back | 08:57 |
| KBar | Look for start minimized or similar option. | 08:57 |
| KBar | Okay. I'm going to eat. :) | 08:57 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, sleep 5s && thunderbird doesn't work, sleep 5 && thunderbird neither | 09:09 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, Thunderbird doesn't have delay to startup... they just has option to delay to checkup msgs.. exemplo. chekc new msgs on 5 min in 5 min | 09:10 |
| KBar | I see. | 09:43 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, I solve the parte of msg server | 09:43 |
| Super_Ape | kkk | 09:43 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, the one that appeared at startup saying "Unable to connect to IMAP server"? | 09:44 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, not more... i follow the second step https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/11/how-to-launch-startup-applications-with.html | 09:45 |
| Super_Ape | now... i am trying to do it minimized | 09:45 |
| Super_Ape | when open, open minimized | 09:45 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, wait, did you also add `X-GNOME-Autostart`? | 09:46 |
| Super_Ape | no | 09:46 |
| KBar | Only with sleep? | 09:46 |
| Super_Ape | yes | 09:46 |
| Super_Ape | on autostart directory | 09:47 |
| Super_Ape | works very well | 09:47 |
| KBar | Well, it should also work through GUI as well. | 09:47 |
| KBar | They change the same thing. | 09:47 |
| Super_Ape | do you know some command line to minimize this? | 09:48 |
| KBar | You can do it with `wmctrl`, but you have to install it first. Let me find something else. | 09:48 |
| Super_Ape | sleep 5 && thunderbird && -startintray ? | 09:49 |
| KBar | Is that a Thunderbird option? | 09:49 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, thunderbird doesnt have this opition | 09:50 |
| Super_Ape | i try to find some addon, but i didnt | 09:51 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, where did you find this: `-startintray`? | 09:51 |
| xu-help17w | Good day | 09:51 |
| KBar | Hi. | 09:51 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, https://askubuntu.com/questions/882748/how-do-i-start-telegram-from-the-command-line | 09:52 |
| xu-help17w | I install Xubuntu 32bits but Wi-Fi nota work | 09:52 |
| xu-help17w | Not work | 09:52 |
| xu-help17w | Ifconfig show me cabe ethernet | 09:53 |
| Super_Ape | xu-help17w, iwconfig | 09:54 |
| Super_Ape | on terminal | 09:54 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, well, you cannot put option for one program as an option of another. I'd suggest you to read this, if you're interested: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxcommand/files/TLCL/19.01/TLCL-19.01.pdf/download | 09:54 |
| KBar | xu-help17w, Xubuntu version? | 09:54 |
| KBar | Ubuntu doesn't support 32-bit anymore. | 09:55 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, install `wmctrl` | 09:55 |
| xu-help17w | xubuntu 18.04 32 bits | 09:56 |
| KBar | xu-help17w, it's EoL, meaning End of Life. | 09:57 |
| KBar | xu-help17w, https://xubuntu.org/release/18-04/ | 09:57 |
| KBar | xu-help17w, if your CPU is capable, consider upgrading to 20.04 | 09:57 |
| Super_Ape | KBar, done | 09:57 |
| KBar | Super_Ape, relaunch Thunderbird (quit the program and launch it again) | 09:58 |
| xu-help17w | My Notebook os 32bits | 09:58 |
| KBar | xu-help17w, well, that's unfortunate. As I said, 18.04 is not supported anymore. The current long-term release is 20.04, supported until 23.04 | 09:59 |
| xu-help17w | Ok thanks | 10:00 |
| xu-irc67w | hello, how do i upgrade kernel to 5.13 on xubuntu 20.04 | 11:35 |
| xu-irc67w | !kernel | 11:39 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 11:39 |

| kjani | Hello !! Just installed after using Debian XFCE for a month but I got frustrated from the lack of much recent packages | 14:58 |
| kjani | Found refuge in Xubuntu ! | 14:58 |
| GridCloud | :) | 15:00 |
| KBar | kjani, hello and welcome. Just beward that Ubuntu is based on Debian and follows a similar release cycle. | 15:19 |
| KBar | *beware | 15:19 |
| krytarik | Only if one regards 6 months and 2 years as similar though.. XD | 15:57 |
| === genii-core is now known as genii | ||
| kjani | krytarik: Yeah the difference in the time period of the release cycle was what brought me here | 16:35 |
| t4gee | d | 17:41 |
| tree111 | if i'm on version 20.10, is there a proper and safe way to downgrade to 20.04 lts? or is it better to just upgrade what i have and wait for 21.04? | 18:52 |
| genii | There is no downgrade facility, unfortunately. A reinstall would be required. You're better off to wait for the point release of 21.04 | 18:56 |
| tree111 | ah thanks. so if i just upgrade normally until 21.04, that version would be lts right? i dont need to install other 21.04 lts version? | 18:57 |
| genii | Neither would be LTS versions | 18:58 |
| genii | The next one will the 2022 April one, 22.04 | 18:58 |
| tree111 | ah my mistake | 18:59 |
| genii | LTS are every two years in April, so 20.04 currently, then 22.04 | 18:59 |
| tree111 | so if i upgrade to 22.04 later, that 22.04 is LTS without me having to do anything else? | 19:01 |
| genii | Yes | 19:03 |
| tree111 | nice, thanks for the help | 19:03 |
| genii | However after upgrading to that, you may need to change the upgrade check from normal to LTS | 19:04 |
| tree111 | ah. i will take note of that. i think i messed up that option previously | 19:05 |
| genii | The setting is in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades , you can change Prompt=normal in there to Prompt=lts | 19:06 |
