Lordydoes anyone know how to remove the date/clock from the top bar on 23.10?00:42

kotgcHello01:08
kotgchow can I install Dash to Panel?01:08
kotgcI've tried so many things and it won't install?01:09
kotgcI've installed gnome extensions or shell.01:09
kotgcI've downloaded the Dash to Panel zip file.01:09
kotgcI've rebooted Ubuntu01:09
JanCAFAIK the default GUI in Ubuntu is a version of Dash to Panel?01:09
kotgcJanC, no, there's no option to move the Top Bar thingy into the Dock down the bottom...it wastes previous space and blocks dragging windows along monitors.01:10
kotgcThe documentation doesn't help, just says how to use CLI to install gnome shell or extensions.01:11
JanCwell, "a version of" means some sort of "fork" here01:11
kotgcCan't find a clear video guide on it, the install just works on videos but not on my Ubuntu.01:11
kotgcJanC, ok01:12
kotgcIf I post this to Stack Exchange they'll downvote or delete the question.01:12
kotgcSo trying chat.01:12
kotgcThink I01:12
kotgcThink I'll post to some friendly and useful ubuntu forums.01:13
kotgcUnbelievable how non UX friendly this install is?01:13
kotgchttps://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/01:14
JanCyou'll probably have to uninstall/disable it for Dash-to-Panel to be able to take over, or start from a vanilla gnome session01:17
kotgcJanC, may I be clear in what 'it' is please, I'm so confused and overwhelmed now after reading the Encyclopaedia Britannica on this subject?01:18
JanCUbuntu Dash (the dash-to-Panel fork)01:19
JanCbut I don't think you can uninstall that easily in an Ubuntu Desktop session01:19
JanCmaybe if you install 'vanilla-gnome-desktop' instead...01:19
kotgcJanC, I don't think Dash to Panel in installed...that's the challenge, I've spent 3 hours trying to install it...all I have is a downloaded zip file.01:19
JanCIIRC it automatically disables itself when Ubuntu Dash is there01:20
kotgcThis file is downloaded dash-to-paneljderose9.github.com.v59.shell-extension.zip01:20
kotgcJanC, sorry I'm confused what 'it' relates to?01:20
JanCsorry "Ubuntu Dock" it's called01:21
kotgcMy Chromium browser has GNOME Shell installed.01:21
kotgcJanC, ok01:21
kotgcSo Ubuntu Dock has been moved by Ubuntu's Settings to the bottom and autohide.01:22
kotgcIt's this superfluent Dash Panel thingy at the top of Ubuntu, taking up valuable monitor space and bumps windows when I drag them from monitor 1-3 and vice versa.  The top panel thingy needs to be merged into the Dock at the bottom.01:23
JanCoh, wait, it's not the extension I thought...01:25
kotgcJanC, yes, it's probably the driver, c'est moi.01:28

JanCkotgc: did you try installing it using the Gnome Extension Manager?01:33
kotgcJanC, I don't think so. The Dash-to-panel website says I've install GNOME Shell integration is running.01:34
kotgcFor double measure I ran: sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell01:34
kotgcsudo apt-get install gnome-browser-connector01:35
kotgcI did a reboot too01:35
kotgcChrome extensions says: GNOME Shell extensions website Has access to this site01:36
JanCI just tried it in Ubuntu 22.04 & installing it just worked...01:38
JanCalthough it messed up a bunch of other extensions (which isn't entirely unexpected, I suppose)01:39
kotgcJanC, I'm happy for you, however I'm one of those 'things rarely 'just work' people.01:39
JanCmaybe try installing through Extension Manager?01:40
kotgcLet me research what that is about.01:44

TomyWorkshould GLX work in snap jailmode?11:07
TomyWorkcause I'm trying it and it doesn't11:07
ograsure it should ... the opegl interface gives snaps full access to the hosts GL(X) stack11:09
TomyWorkhow do i disable jailmode, just to try it11:10
TomyWorkand go back to strict confinement, which i believe was the default of this snap11:11
ograjailmode is stict, i.e. you never need to specify it usually ...11:11
ografor devmode you can refresh the snap with the --devmode option11:11
ograthat switches confinement into "complain mode" so you get logs but nothing is blocked11:12
TomyWorki originally installed the snap with --jailmode11:13
TomyWorkcause i wanted stricter confinement. I want to see if relaxing that to whatever mode was the default would fix the glx issue11:14
TomyWorkI got graphics-test-tools and that can detect the intel chip alright11:17
TomyWorkok I removed it and installed it with --jailmode and it still detects the intel chip. so maybe the application doesn't like the intel chip or there's another issue with the application :/11:18

ograTomyWork, i dont think drirc is respected by snaps, what you see is likely an application problem ... what snap is that ?11:53
ogra(well, drirc might be respected but not /etc/drirc)11:53
TomyWorkthe "prismlauncher" snap (not searchable, but you can install it with --edge)11:55
TomyWorkI'll try ~/.drirc11:55
ograthat wont work either ... dot files are invisible to snaps (for good reasons)11:57
ograyou could try to find env vars you can set instead11:57
ogra(btw, to see what the snap sees you can spawn a shell inside the snap apps env ... snap run --shell <snapname>.<appname>")11:58
ogra(if snap name and app name are identical you can omit <appname>)11:58
TomyWorkpermission denied on .drirc, yup12:11
TomyWorkah yes, cause I created it as root :D12:11

pickanickKubuntu 2204: When I run 'who', it lists three sessions that date to boot time: tty1 pts/0 pts/1 . Terminal windows have higher pts/N . What are tty1 pts/0 pts/1 ? I'm guessing tty1 is for the OS or the X session. One of the pts *maybe* for my desktop login session?  Are these guesses correct? What's the other pts?13:04
ograTomyWork, the age of your host doesnt matter at all for snaps .. they are completely distinct from the host OS (it might matter for your minecraft version on the host, but otherwise you could even run 16.04 and should be fine)13:05
TomyWorkbut what else could it be then? I'm using the intel i915 driver according to lspci -vvv13:18
ograTomyWork, you could install the snappy-debug snap, run it alongside when you start the snapped app and see if it has any suggestions13:31
ograthat would point out any issues with the snap confinement ...13:31
ograif there are no issues, it might be a packaging bug and you should talk to the package maintainer, they might be missing something (i.e. an env var to point to the GL libs etc)13:32

JanCif the phone exposes the files over USB using either USB MSC (Mass Storage) or USB PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) it should work in Gvfs-based file managers AFAIK16:36
paul424Gvfs-based what are those ?16:36
JanCprobably almost anything Gtk-based really16:37
JanCincluding Thunar (I assume)16:37
JanCand I think it should work in KDE file managers too?16:38
ioriaAghora, if you want to share a directory, you need to add users to the same group; chown that directory and give it read/write permissions, if is that what you want16:38
JanCin fact USB MSC should work in any file manager in linux16:39

en1gmaim on ubuntu 22.04 amd64 desktop and when i try and 'cntrl+shift & drag' a folder to my desktop it is "Moving" the folder instead of creating a shortcut. how are we supposed to create a shortcut to a folder so it does not actually "move" the folder?20:20
en1gmaive been googling and even in a newer youtube video of a guy in 22.04 he does that and that clearly is not working correctly20:22
en1gmai have a "Photos" on my "D" drive and i want to create a desktop shortcut to that folder20:23
en1gmamy ubuntu install is on my "C" drive20:24
arraybolt3That's generally done with symbolic links in Ubuntu. Just make a link to the Photos folder and plop it in ~/Desktop.20:25
leftyfben1gma: first, linux has no concept of "C" and "D" drives. But if you're talking about different filesystems/mounts, then that's the issue. You can't create shortcuts to other filesystems using drag and drop20:26
leftyfben1gma: what you can do is create the shortcut in the parent folder and then drag that shortcut to the desktop20:28
en1gmawow. after 20 years with linux its hard to believe it cannot create a txt file or a desktop shortcut. got to admit. that does not look good for the "average" user20:28
