zetaEhei15:30
zetaEanybody here?15:30
lubot_[telegram] <matkoniecz> yes15:37
zetaEexcellent15:42
zetaEquestion15:43
zetaEis there a way to disable "show hidden files" from the menus?15:43
zetaEremove that option so ppl don.t mess around config files by mistake15:43
zetaEhuuge linux error15:44
apt-ghettozetaE: That is not a Linux error. That is an error caused by untrained people16:11
apt-ghettoAnd not showing the menu does not mean, that people won't be able to edit the files16:11
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> You can move it to a folder where only root/sudo has access and then restrict read access16:52
apt-ghettoThe sense of configuration files is to configure them.16:55
apt-ghettoYou should train the people: show what they can configure and how.16:56
apt-ghettoAnd show also, how to fix problems themselves.16:56
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> Oh, I did not see, he wrote "config files" 🙈16:59
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> Yeah, do not move config files anywhere. It may break your system. Sorry for the missunderstanding17:00
zetaEregardless, I need to remove "show hidden files" from lubuntu file manager and contextual menu17:12
zetaEit.s causing all sorts of problems17:13
zetaEI was trying to look in the xml file17:14
zetaEI wish it was an option17:14
zetaEis it hard set?17:14
zetaEas user I can edit the menu entries by copying "/usr/share/applications/lxqt-*.desktop" over to "~/.local/share/applications"17:18
zetaEsuch a weird way17:18
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> If you disable it in the file manager, what about terminal and other file managers?18:02
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> They will still schon hidden files18:03
zetaEterminal is ok as nobody knows how to use it18:04
zetaEremove "show hidden files" lxqt wide18:04
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> how to get something like a task manager on Lubuntu?18:05
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> through terminal18:05
zetaEalso remove the option from Nautilus18:05
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> htop could be preinstalled, but not sure (re @motorolae7: how to get something like a task manager on Lubuntu?)18:11
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> thanks 👍 (re @Halis: htop could be preinstalled, but not sure)18:12
zetaEps18:13
zetaEwhat.s wrong with ps, df, du, etc?18:13
lubot_[telegram] <teward001> what do you mean 'what's wrong' with those commands?18:22
lubot_[telegram] <teward001> a little unclear what you're asking for18:22
zetaEtask manager = ps, df, du, etc18:30
artesssss18:30
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> why anytime I'm trying to unzip a zip file it just throws an error18:45
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> For beginners htop or any other grafical user interface task manager might be easier to start with (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <zetaE> task manager = ps, df, du, etc)18:45
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> Denpends on the error it throws 😅 (re @motorolae7: why anytime I'm trying to unzip a zip file it just throws an error)18:46
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> it doesn't show what error18:47
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> how can I send a photo of the error?18:52
lubot_[telegram] <motorolae7> hello?19:06
lubot_[telegram] <Halis> you can use --verbose option to get more details (re @motorolae7: it doesn't show what error)20:45
