lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Any idea where config file of taskbar behavior is located? Specifically where grouping windows setting is saved?12:10
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I need to add it to my dotfiles for easy stopping this behaviour on VMs. It is extremely irritating to get terminal grouped together.12:10
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I tried to look through freedesktop standard but I failed to find anything relevant (or even human readable version of standard)12:11
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> ( https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/tree/basedir/basedir-spec.xml seems to be about config files, but this one seems not mentioned)12:11
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Also, ~/.config/openbox is no longer used, right?12:12
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> From my memory without looking. I think ~/.config/lxqt/ for the panel settings.12:13
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Openbox is still used we just aren't using the lxqt-rc.xml only the rc.xml12:15
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Yes, exactly (groupingEnabled=false in panel.conf) (re @kc2bez: From my memory without looking. I think ~/.config/lxqt/ for the panel settings.)12:15
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Is there some way to obtain initial, unmodified version of `~/.config/lxqt/` (I want to put it into git repo, starting from unmodified version)12:16
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> If you are running the desktop it will overwrite the config file. You e d up with strange results if you don't use the gui to change settings.12:16
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> Is there some way to avoid manual GUI changes? I am not happy about idea of reconfiguring bad default settings (like window grouping) on every single VM that I create (re @kc2bez: If you are running the desktop it will overwrite the config file. You end up with strange results if you don't use the gui to change settings.)12:18
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I expected that deleting file and symlinking to file with desired version will work like with many other well behaved config file12:19
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> What about lubuntu-rc.xml - is it also safe to delete? (re @kc2bez: Openbox is still used we just aren't using the lxqt-rc.xml only the rc.xml)12:20
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I think so, yes. (re @matkoniecz: What about lubuntu-rc.xml - is it also safe to delete?)12:20
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> If you have the config files in place before running the desktop or while the desktop is stopped it should stick. It is only when the desktop is running that the gui overwrites it.12:21
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> So ideally I would start system in rescue mode and run script then?12:23
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I wonder when desktop edits config files and is it safe to just never use GUI settings12:24
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Or get the config setup for a base image and clone your vms12:24
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> I am also doing this, but hour of going through GUIs just because I need to test in a new OS version is not my idea of fun. (re @kc2bez: Or get the config setup for a base image and clone your vms)12:25
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> And would be more irritating than things that I would fix.12:26
lubot[telegram] <matkoniecz> And in general my plan (so far quite successful) is to fully automate such setup (backups + ansible + doftiles repository)12:26
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> It is probably sufficient to just stop the pcmanfm-qt desktop in session settings then edit the configurations then restart pcmanfm-qt. I have not tested that but I think it should work.12:30
lubot[telegram] <motorolae7> actually it works now (re @motorolae7: I'd better get the demo that to use my brother's sh!t :))15:18
lubot[telegram] <motorolae7> and I bought the full version15:18
