[15:21] <ShootEmUp> Hello Everyone!
[15:21] <charlie-tca> Good morning
[15:22] <ShootEmUp> whats up?
[15:23] <charlie-tca> me! I got up on the green side of the grass again... ;-)
[15:23] <ShootEmUp> lol, you crack me up
[15:28] <ShootEmUp> vista is screwing up on me, gotta reboot
[18:21] <ShootEmUp> Hello Everyone!
[18:35] <ShootEmUp> hey lighta
[18:36] <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?
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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 ?
[18:39] <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"
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <ShootEmUp> and she doesn't like to change printers
[18:42] <lighta> ahh ! ok, can't rename it ?
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <lighta> I'm not really used to american grade you entering college is that right ?
[18:45] <ShootEmUp> yes
[18:45] <lighta> nice
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <ShootEmUp> Maybe computers
[18:47] <charlie-tca> Until someone needs help
[18:47] <ShootEmUp> I would beast the basic computer class
[18:48] <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?
[18:49] <lighta> ssh auto-login failed
[18:49] <david717> Yes, I'm trying to set up the graphical autologin from an ssh session
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <lighta> so it just the grapical wich an issue ?
[18:52] <ShootEmUp> YeahRight, check your settings. 75% of the time thats the problem
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <ShootEmUp2> disconected
[18:55] <charlie-tca> david717: if you can ssh into the box, you can set it up.
[18:56] <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:
[18:57] <david717> I'm using putty, should I load up a virtual linux box?
[18:57] <david717> and ssh with that?
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <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
[19:01] <david717> Okay, I have the "Login Screen Settings" open from that.
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <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?
[19:07] <david717> in the console, gdmsetupid:2153 is throwing out alot of error messages. Hmm, I'll get on the google again
[19:08] <david717> "Failes to unlock: The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files"
[19:11] <charlie-tca> david717: don't think that should make any difference.
[19:17] <david717> There looks like there is a bug report for this.
[20:52] <nicofs> I need help getting my GUI back to work again... when i boot, for a short moment i get an ampty screen with a cursor on it, that i can even move about. but seconds later it dies and i'm back at the console... any suggestions? where can i start looking for the error?
[20:54] <nicofs> "Xorg -configure" returns "No devices to configure. Configuration failed."
[20:55] <shootemup> did you run it as sudo?
[20:55] <nicofs> shootemup, yes.
[20:56] <shootemup> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[20:56] <nicofs> it used to be 10.10, when it worked... based on a kernel v 2.6.29-arm
[20:59] <shootemup> nicofs, I'm looking it up, just stick with me
[20:59] <shootemup> try sudo X -configure
[21:00] <nicofs> i won't run away... especially not if there is someone who could help me... all i have right now is command line...
[21:01] <nicofs> "No devices to configure. Configuration failed."
[21:02] <shootemup> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   remember big X in X11
[21:04] <nicofs> shootemup, that file is basically empty... i looked it up several minutes ago... but hang on, will do again
[21:05] <nicofs> it lists two input devices, mouse and keyboard. both work...
[21:05] <shootemup> but video does not
[21:05] <nicofs> nope
[21:06] <shootemup> anyone else know anything?
[21:07] <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
[21:08] <nicofs> (murphy's law dictates that you wreck your laptop on your vacation, when all your other computers are nowhere near...)
[21:09] <shootemup> lol
[21:32] <lighta> nicofs, did you try start xfce in consol mode ?
[22:50] <nicofs> lighta, yes i did... same as what happens at startup...
[22:53] <lighta> ah sad
[22:54] <lighta> like he doesn't reconize your screen
[22:54] <lighta> can you ran a xrandr to see ?
[22:55] <nicofs> lighta hang on
[22:56] <nicofs> can't open display...
[22:56] <nicofs> hang on, need to reconnect...
[22:57] <nicofs> re
[22:58] <lighta> re
[23:04] <lighta> nicofs, you need me or ? i'm really hungry now
[23:19] <nicofs> lighta, eat if you like... perhaps i'm not gonna solve that until i'm back home...
