| ShootEmUp | Hello Everyone! | 15:21 |
| charlie-tca | Good morning | 15:21 |
| ShootEmUp | whats up? | 15:22 |
| charlie-tca | me! I got up on the green side of the grass again... ;-) | 15:23 |
| ShootEmUp | lol, you crack me up | 15:23 |
| ShootEmUp | vista is screwing up on me, gotta reboot | 15:28 |
| ShootEmUp | Hello Everyone! | 18:21 |
| ShootEmUp | hey lighta | 18:35 |
| lighta | hey ShootEmUp how are you ? | 18:36 |
| ShootEmUp | good, you? | 18:36 |
| lighta | fine fine =) just receive exams result quite happy =) | 18:36 |
| ShootEmUp | how good you do? | 18:36 |
| lighta | well, not so good but this exam I failed intra | 18:37 |
| lighta | so I really had to do a good mark at final | 18:37 |
| lighta | and I did it | 18:38 |
| lighta | so I pass | 18:38 |
| lighta | =) | 18:38 |
| ShootEmUp | YAY! | 18:38 |
| lighta | it was like coming back to F for C+ | 18:38 |
| lighta | xdd | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | ShootEmUp: isn't vista what I see out my windows? | 18:38 |
| ShootEmUp | :) | 18:38 |
| lighta | what about you ? | 18:38 |
| lighta | hi charlie-tca where so you see that ? | 18:39 |
| ShootEmUp | charlie-tca, is that suppose to be a joke? | 18:39 |
| ShootEmUp | lighta, doing good | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 18:39 |
| ShootEmUp | charlie-tca, not funny | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | Goes with "windows - that clear thing I look out of" | 18:39 |
| ShootEmUp | vista runs alright, Linux is better on this computer | 18:40 |
| lighta | 7 isn't better ? | 18:40 |
| ShootEmUp | my mom makes me stay on vista so she can network print | 18:40 |
| lighta | than vista I mean | 18:40 |
| lighta | no offense xd | 18:40 |
| ShootEmUp | 7 is alright | 18:40 |
| ShootEmUp | better than vista, yes | 18:41 |
| lighta | I did network print on xubuntu too, what difficult about that ? | 18:41 |
| lighta | rescue your mom ShootEmUp ! | 18:41 |
| ShootEmUp | when I change over to ubuntu, the printers name changes | 18:41 |
| ShootEmUp | and she doesn't like to change printers | 18:42 |
| lighta | ahh ! ok, can't rename it ? | 18:42 |
| lighta | well nevermind she probably used this way | 18:43 |
| ShootEmUp | can, but the computers name also changes | 18:43 |
| ShootEmUp | so she can't print uder the same name | 18:43 |
| charlie-tca | Sometimes it is better to leave things as they are. Not everyone needs to be rid of Microsoft. | 18:44 |
| lighta | I see, I'm not using paper this much now anyway | 18:44 |
| ShootEmUp | hopfully I get a laptop for grad (In may!) | 18:44 |
| lighta | wich grade ShootEmUp ? | 18:44 |
| ShootEmUp | 12th | 18:44 |
| lighta | I'm not really used to american grade you entering college is that right ? | 18:45 |
| ShootEmUp | yes | 18:45 |
| lighta | nice | 18:45 |
| lighta | what are you going to study ? ye we kinda far off topic but eh cha, dead otherwise is that ok charlie-tca ? | 18:46 |
| ShootEmUp | probably going to the community college | 18:46 |
| ShootEmUp | i really don;t know | 18:46 |
| ShootEmUp | Maybe computers | 18:47 |
| charlie-tca | Until someone needs help | 18:47 |
| ShootEmUp | I would beast the basic computer class | 18:47 |
| david717 | I'm ssh'ed into a xubuntu 10.04 box, can anyone help me set up auto-login? I get an error message with vnc, saying startx isn't running. I assume because the box is left at the gdm login screen? Not sure though. | 18:48 |
| charlie-tca | When someone asks for help and gets ignored, we start pushing you to #xubuntu-offtopic | 18:48 |
| ShootEmUp | okay, sounds good | 18:48 |
| david717 | I don't want to interupt their convo, whoops ;) | 18:48 |
| lighta | when we talking about help hehe | 18:48 |
| ShootEmUp | david717, you have problem? | 18:48 |
| lighta | ssh auto-login failed | 18:49 |
| david717 | Yes, I'm trying to set up the graphical autologin from an ssh session | 18:49 |
| david717 | If that makes any sense | 18:51 |
| lighta | all network correct ? | 18:51 |
| lighta | ping ok port open ? | 18:51 |
| david717 | yes, I'm actually logged in now | 18:51 |
| lighta | so it just the grapical wich an issue ? | 18:52 |
| ShootEmUp | YeahRight, check your settings. 75% of the time thats the problem | 18:52 |
| david717 | Well the box doesn't have a monitor hooked up. I could go do that, but thought it might be possible to set up the auto-login via ssh so I don't have to do thru the gui | 18:53 |
| ShootEmUp2 | disconected | 18:54 |
| charlie-tca | david717: if you can ssh into the box, you can set it up. | 18:55 |
| ShootEmUp | sorry, had to reconnect | 18:56 |
| david717 | okay cool, I just can't figure out how. I tried editing a few files in tuts I found online, none worked. But they were also outdated | 18:56 |
| charlie-tca | after getting in, run "gdmsetup" for the login setup | 18:56 |
| david717 | **: cannot open display: | 18:56 |
| david717 | I'm using putty, should I load up a virtual linux box? | 18:57 |
| david717 | and ssh with that? | 18:57 |
| charlie-tca | You can use a command like this to ssh in and run the Xserver, which will let the gdmsetup command run | 18:58 |
| charlie-tca | ssh -X -p 22 USERNAME@REMOTE_SYSTEM gdmsetup | 18:58 |
| charlie-tca | -X says run the xserver | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | -p is the port used for ssh, default setup is for port 22 | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | USERNAME is the user on the remote system | 18:59 |
| david717 | I should run this from a remote linux console, correct? | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | REMOTE_SYSTEM is the name of the remote computer. | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | run it from the terminal | 18:59 |
| david717 | Okay, I have the "Login Screen Settings" open from that. | 19:01 |
| david717 | But I can't "unlock" it | 19:02 |
| david717 | should I add gksudo before gdmsetup in the command? | 19:02 |
| charlie-tca | don't you have the admin password for the remote system? | 19:02 |
| charlie-tca | or it just fails when you click "unlock"? | 19:02 |
| david717 | It fails | 19:02 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, then try with gksudo | 19:03 |
| charlie-tca | Using that command, you can run any GUI application in terminal | 19:03 |
| david717 | It asked for the password, but it still wanted me to "unlock" it... wasn't able to. After clicking it, nothing happened | 19:03 |
| charlie-tca | Now I don't know the answer | 19:04 |
| david717 | I'm using an opensuse virtualbox install I have, would that make a difference? | 19:04 |
| david717 | in the console, gdmsetupid:2153 is throwing out alot of error messages. Hmm, I'll get on the google again | 19:07 |
| david717 | "Failes to unlock: The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files" | 19:08 |
| charlie-tca | david717: don't think that should make any difference. | 19:11 |
| david717 | There looks like there is a bug report for this. | 19:17 |

| nicofs | erm... might sound a bit weird... but i have to got to the beach now to collect some sand as a souvenir... i'll be back later... maybe i come up with a good idea on the way... | 21:07 |
| shootemup | ok, see you later | 21:07 |
| nicofs | (murphy's law dictates that you wreck your laptop on your vacation, when all your other computers are nowhere near...) | 21:08 |
