[03:22] <dal2> How many file managers does Lubuntu 23.04 ship with by default? Is it just the one, pcmanfm-qt, or are there more?
 No just one as its the most recommended and integrated one (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <dal2> How many file managers does Lubuntu 23.04 ship with by default? Is it just the one, pcmanfm-qt, or are there more?)
[04:09] <guiverc> dal2, pcmanfm-qt also handles part of the LXQt desktop you view, thus is already running & using it as FM is efficient (something else wouldn't be).  I don't have a pcmanfm-qt window open, but if I explore what is running using `ps` I still see "/usr/bin/pcmanfm-qt --desktop --profile=lxqt"
[04:17] <dal2> BlackKnight987: Thanks
[04:17] <dal2> guiverc: Thanks for the explanation, I understand pcmanfm-qt does more by default upon boot than just file manage
[04:18] <dal2> Does anyone know if a FAT32 live boot thumb drive with an .iso on it and no partitions could also carry an additional file, say thunar.deb ?
[04:20] <guiverc> you can have anything on a thumb-drive you want.. but to be bootable it must be setup to be recognized as bootable for your hardware/firmware
[04:32] <dal2> guiverc: Basically, I want to be able to travel with my laptop and 23.04 on a thumb drive to live boot off it, but with the pcmanfm-qt encryption bug, I wouldn't be able to get into my own files without a different file manager. So the idea is to bring the file manager along on the thumb drive
[04:32] <dal2> guiverc: the other thing I can try is re-learning how cryptsetup luksOpen etc works and see if I decrypt and gain permissions that way, can I then just use pcmanfm-qt as normal
[04:32] <dal2> guiverc: to bring *an extra working file manager along on the thumb drive
[04:33] <guiverc> If it's not already been explored; I'd suggest exploring live with persistence.. you can add packages to your 'live' system on thumb drive, make changes etc. as if installed (to a point anyway) & its still running live..
[04:35] <guiverc> I used to rely on systems on thumb-drive many years ago, don't use them these days, but I'd use mkusb to create a persistence-live image..  refer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent  (or for mkusb itself too)
[04:39]  * guiverc doesn't use encryption much;  some laptops use it, I just rarely use laptops. I'd use terminal to open etc.. but I can't help with how as I just don't use it often enough to feel comfortable to advice/direct
[04:57] <dal2> guiver: Thanks, I'll play with those solutions (mkusb persistence and CLI cryptsetup) across the next few days
[04:58] <dal2> guiverc: Thanks, I'll play with those solutions (mkusb persistence and CLI cryptsetup) across the next few days
[04:58] <guiverc> ack. other tools can create persistence-live too; mkusb is the only tool I've used in the last couple of years.
[19:12] <dal2> Stupid question.. how do permissions work in live lubuntu, where the user is 'lubuntu', and you insert, say, a thumbdrive a friend hands you full of MP3s. Do those MP3s get assigned to lubuntu? Does the lubuntu user gain permissions over them?
