| sandra_ | hello channel | 01:49 |
| sandra_ | anyone know whether gnome-do runs in xfce? | 01:49 |
| Aquina | Can someone help me with Launchpad question #105229 (Shells) or #97888 (NSS)? | 01:52 |
| gottto | sandra_: http://linuxchronicles.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/xubuntu-9-04-x64-screenshot-with-gnome-dos-docky/ would suggest yes | 01:52 |
| gottto | Aquina: can you provide a link? | 01:59 |
| Aquina | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/105229 | 02:00 |
| Aquina | https://answers.launchpad.net/xulrunner/+question/97888 | 02:01 |
| Aquina | :-) | 02:01 |
| gottto | k | 02:01 |
| Aquina | I hope you can help me. These questions are not the ones an average Xubuntu user asks. | 02:02 |
| gottto | Aquina: you could remove those shells from /etc/shells - but why would you want to? | 02:02 |
| Aquina | To keep the system consistant. | 02:04 |
| gottto | Aquina: and you must be missing a package if those links have been set up but point to nothing - what package idk... | 02:04 |
| Aquina | Which brings me to the question wether there are other locations refering to not installed shells. | 02:04 |
| gottto | Aquina: those lines are there for people that do install those shells - they use no resources tho | 02:05 |
| Aquina | They actually point to nothing. I verified it with apt-cache, dpkg and via manual filesystem search. | 02:05 |
| Aquina | ok | 02:06 |
| Aquina | So this is of no concern. | 02:06 |
| gottto | none at all | 02:06 |
| Aquina | Have you read the nss-link-problem (question 97888)? | 02:07 |
| gottto | Aquina: and you must be missing a package if those links have been set up but point to nothing - what package idk... | 02:07 |
| gottto | ^^ | 02:07 |
| Aquina | idk? | 02:07 |
| Aquina | What do you mean by that? | 02:08 |
| gottto | I Don't Know = idk | 02:08 |
| Aquina | :-) | 02:08 |
| gottto | hehe | 02:08 |
| Aquina | Ok I will further investigate this... | 02:08 |
| gottto | luck | 02:09 |
| Aquina | In case http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/etcshells.html is correct... | 02:10 |
| Aquina | ...it have to worry since the system actively uses that file. | 02:11 |
| Aquina | "Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid" | 02:11 |
| Aquina | "[..] whether an unprivileged user may change the login shell for her own account." | 02:11 |
| Aquina | It seems that chsh obeys shells in /etc/shells. | 02:13 |
| gottto | Aquina: I don't even have a xulrunner folder in /usr/includes so it shouldn't matter much | 02:16 |
| Aquina | :) | 02:17 |

| TheSheep | unley: we need the url to see it | 13:29 |
| unley | http://pastebin.org/127746 | 13:29 |
| TheSheep | what's the error you are getting? | 13:30 |
| unley | a failed login, returns to login screen | 13:30 |
| unley | over and over again | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | anything relevant in logs? | 13:32 |
| TheSheep | like /var/log/auth.log | 13:32 |
| unley | http://pastebin.org/127759 | 13:34 |
| unley | that's /var/log/auth.log from before it failed again | 13:34 |
| TheSheep | unley: do you have xfce4-session installed? | 13:35 |
| unley | honestly, I have no idea | 13:36 |
| unley | how do I find out? | 13:36 |
| TheSheep | apt-cache policy xfce4-session | 13:36 |
| unley | that is a command to run? | 13:37 |
| TheSheep | yes | 13:37 |

| unley | 4.6.1-1 | 13:37 |

| TheSheep | which version of xubuntu is it and did you change something except for that pam file? | 13:38 |
| unley | 9.10 and no | 13:38 |
| unley | just that | 13:38 |
| TheSheep | and it didn't work right after install? | 13:39 |
| TheSheep | until you changed that' | 13:39 |
| unley | worked perfectly for a day | 13:39 |
| unley | then back to "usual" | 13:39 |
| TheSheep | but before that pam file change | 13:40 |
| unley | as is now, failed logins | 13:40 |
| unley | over and over | 13:40 |
| TheSheep | since the beginning, or did it break one day? | 13:40 |
| TheSheep | I'm trying to get to the real source of the problem | 13:41 |
| unley | got progressively worse, 3 attempts here, 2 next, 10 next, all over the place, and finally friday, gone | 13:41 |
| TheSheep | maybe it wasn't changing pam that fixed it, but something else, for example restarting gdm? | 13:42 |
| unley | I have no idea | 13:42 |
| unley | but it's stuffed again now | 13:42 |
| TheSheep | anything in .xsessionerrors? | 13:42 |
| TheSheep | in your ~ | 13:42 |
| unley | http://pastebin.org/127765 | 13:44 |
| unley | seems to be a few references to gnome | 13:45 |
| unley | in there | 13:45 |
| TheSheep | make sure you have gnome-keyring-daemon installed | 13:46 |
| unley | gnome-keyring 2.28.1 is showing in synaptic | 13:47 |
| TheSheep | what happens when you run 'gnome-keyring-daemon' in terminal? | 13:48 |
| unley | http://pastebin.org/127767 | 13:49 |
| TheSheep | that looks correct | 13:50 |
| TheSheep | does the file /tmp/keyring-Bvw7vc/socket exist? | 13:51 |
| unley | yes | 13:52 |
| unley | shows as 0b | 13:52 |
| TheSheep | unley: that's ok | 14:00 |
| TheSheep | unley: did you try to uncomment those lines in pam? | 14:01 |
| unley | I uncommented the lines I was advised to last night | 14:03 |
| unley | there's still a number uncommented | 14:03 |
| unley | I think a line is missing from last night though | 14:05 |
| unley | 2 actually, I may be wrong though | 14:06 |
| unley | I uncommented 4 lines, those are still there | 14:06 |
| unley | can hardly stay awake here, it's been a long day and it's 23:39 here | 14:09 |
| unley | if I keep going, I'm gonna make a typo that's gonna screw everything up | 14:09 |

| fun2learngnu | Has anyone run into the problem where upon startup Xubuntu no longer displays menu on the desktop? | 21:07 |
| fun2learngnu | This happened on another computer that I was running Xubuntu on, and now this one. I didn't do anything different the last time I shutdown the computer. | 21:08 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: do you mean the desktop right-click menu? | 21:13 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: Hello. I mean the normal menu items such as Applications Places that is normally at the top and the show desktop icon at the bottom | 21:14 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: ah, you mean the panel. Is the whole panel gone or just the items? | 21:15 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: Did you solve it or are the panels still gone? | 21:29 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: The panel is gone. | 21:54 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: try pressing Alt-F2 and enter the following in the box: xfce4-panel | 21:55 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: That totally worked! :-) What do you think caused it to turn off? | 21:56 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: I am not sure. Maybe it crashed in your last session. Xfce (the desktop environment of Xubuntu) saves the list of running applications in order to restore it when you reboot | 21:57 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | The panel has crashed for me before | 21:57 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: Is there a file I can edit to add the panel to, or will a restart from this point on remember that I want the panel "on"? | 21:58 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: it should remember it, unless you uncheck the option "Save session for future logins" in the Logout dialogue | 21:59 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: Thank you very much! | 22:00 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: you're welcome, good luck | 22:01 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: By the way, if you are interested in which applications are auto-loaded with your session, have a look in the Xubuntu Menu -> Settings -> Session and Startup | 22:06 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: I will check it right now. Thank you. | 22:07 |
| schlaftier | under "Session" you will find the applications currently running, and it will tell you that these are automatically started in your next session. xfce4-panel should be among them | 22:07 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: I see xfce4-panel there(under session tab), it says "Immediately" under Restart Style | 22:10 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: that's okay, it means it should automatically restart when it crashes | 22:11 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: Just noticed that when I click the exit door in the upper right corner the "save session for future logins is checked" but on the "Sessions and Startup" panel under the "General" tab, "Automatically save sessions on logout" is NOT checked. Should it be? | 22:15 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: It need not be. If "automatically" is checked, it will not prompt you and always save which is the same thing as if "save session" is checked in the exit dialogue | 22:16 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: as long as you save this session, the panel should be there again in your next session | 22:17 |
| fun2learngnu | schlaftier: Ok cool. I will restart and see what happens. | 22:18 |
| schlaftier | fun2learngnu: sure | 22:18 |
| schlaftier | actually, you don't need to reboot, just log out and in again | 22:20 |
| fun2learngnu | It worked! Thank you very much! | 22:30 |

| ckarsen | reinstall? | 22:47 |
| schlaftier | no, put the log into a pastebin and show it so we can see what's wrong | 22:47 |

| ckarsen | help please... I get error setting MTRR | 23:00 |

| ckarsen | Thank you friend very much.. as I told, will try to reinstall.. if it is not working I'll come back tomorrow... THANK YOU | 23:13 |
| fun2learngnu | Oh wow. What did I miss? | 23:14 |
