[15:21] Good morning [15:22] whats up? [15:23] me! I got up on the green side of the grass again... ;-) [15:23] lol, you crack me up [15:28] vista is screwing up on me, gotta reboot [18:21] Hello Everyone! [18:35] hey lighta [18:36] hey ShootEmUp how are you ? [18:36] good, you? [18:36] fine fine =) just receive exams result quite happy =) [18:36] how good you do? [18:37] well, not so good but this exam I failed intra [18:37] so I really had to do a good mark at final [18:38] and I did it [18:38] so I pass [18:38] =) [18:38] YAY! [18:38] it was like coming back to F for C+ [18:38] xdd [18:38] ShootEmUp: isn't vista what I see out my windows? [18:38] :) [18:38] what about you ? [18:39] hi charlie-tca where so you see that ? [18:39] charlie-tca, is that suppose to be a joke? [18:39] lighta, doing good [18:39] yup [18:39] charlie-tca, not funny [18:39] Goes with "windows - that clear thing I look out of" [18:40] vista runs alright, Linux is better on this computer [18:40] 7 isn't better ? [18:40] my mom makes me stay on vista so she can network print [18:40] than vista I mean [18:40] no offense xd [18:40] 7 is alright [18:41] better than vista, yes [18:41] I did network print on xubuntu too, what difficult about that ? [18:41] rescue your mom ShootEmUp ! [18:41] when I change over to ubuntu, the printers name changes [18:42] and she doesn't like to change printers [18:42] ahh ! ok, can't rename it ? [18:43] well nevermind she probably used this way [18:43] can, but the computers name also changes [18:43] so she can't print uder the same name [18:44] Sometimes it is better to leave things as they are. Not everyone needs to be rid of Microsoft. [18:44] I see, I'm not using paper this much now anyway [18:44] hopfully I get a laptop for grad (In may!) [18:44] wich grade ShootEmUp ? [18:44] 12th [18:45] I'm not really used to american grade you entering college is that right ? [18:45] yes [18:45] nice [18:46] what are you going to study ? ye we kinda far off topic but eh cha, dead otherwise is that ok charlie-tca ? [18:46] probably going to the community college [18:46] i really don;t know [18:47] Maybe computers [18:47] Until someone needs help [18:47] I would beast the basic computer class [18:48] 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] When someone asks for help and gets ignored, we start pushing you to #xubuntu-offtopic [18:48] okay, sounds good [18:48] I don't want to interupt their convo, whoops ;) [18:48] when we talking about help hehe [18:48] david717, you have problem? [18:49] ssh auto-login failed [18:49] Yes, I'm trying to set up the graphical autologin from an ssh session [18:51] If that makes any sense [18:51] all network correct ? [18:51] ping ok port open ? [18:51] yes, I'm actually logged in now [18:52] so it just the grapical wich an issue ? [18:52] YeahRight, check your settings. 75% of the time thats the problem [18:53] 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] disconected [18:55] david717: if you can ssh into the box, you can set it up. [18:56] sorry, had to reconnect [18:56] 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] after getting in, run "gdmsetup" for the login setup [18:56] **: cannot open display: [18:57] I'm using putty, should I load up a virtual linux box? [18:57] and ssh with that? [18:58] You can use a command like this to ssh in and run the Xserver, which will let the gdmsetup command run [18:58] ssh -X -p 22 USERNAME@REMOTE_SYSTEM gdmsetup [18:59] -X says run the xserver [18:59] -p is the port used for ssh, default setup is for port 22 [18:59] USERNAME is the user on the remote system [18:59] I should run this from a remote linux console, correct? [18:59] REMOTE_SYSTEM is the name of the remote computer. [18:59] run it from the terminal [19:01] Okay, I have the "Login Screen Settings" open from that. [19:02] But I can't "unlock" it [19:02] should I add gksudo before gdmsetup in the command? [19:02] don't you have the admin password for the remote system? [19:02] or it just fails when you click "unlock"? [19:02] It fails [19:03] yeah, then try with gksudo [19:03] Using that command, you can run any GUI application in terminal [19:03] It asked for the password, but it still wanted me to "unlock" it... wasn't able to. After clicking it, nothing happened [19:04] Now I don't know the answer [19:04] I'm using an opensuse virtualbox install I have, would that make a difference? [19:07] in the console, gdmsetupid:2153 is throwing out alot of error messages. Hmm, I'll get on the google again [19:08] "Failes to unlock: The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files" [19:11] david717: don't think that should make any difference. [19:17] There looks like there is a bug report for this. === ShootEmUp2 is now known as shootemup === ShootEmUp2 is now known as shootemup [20:52] 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] "Xorg -configure" returns "No devices to configure. Configuration failed." [20:55] did you run it as sudo? [20:55] shootemup, yes. [20:56] what version of ubuntu are you using? [20:56] it used to be 10.10, when it worked... based on a kernel v 2.6.29-arm [20:59] nicofs, I'm looking it up, just stick with me [20:59] try sudo X -configure [21:00] 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] "No devices to configure. Configuration failed." [21:02] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf remember big X in X11 [21:04] shootemup, that file is basically empty... i looked it up several minutes ago... but hang on, will do again [21:05] it lists two input devices, mouse and keyboard. both work... [21:05] but video does not [21:05] nope [21:06] anyone else know anything? [21:07] 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] ok, see you later [21:08] (murphy's law dictates that you wreck your laptop on your vacation, when all your other computers are nowhere near...) [21:09] lol [21:32] nicofs, did you try start xfce in consol mode ? [22:50] lighta, yes i did... same as what happens at startup... [22:53] ah sad [22:54] like he doesn't reconize your screen [22:54] can you ran a xrandr to see ? [22:55] lighta hang on [22:56] can't open display... [22:56] hang on, need to reconnect... [22:57] re [22:58] re [23:04] nicofs, you need me or ? i'm really hungry now [23:19] lighta, eat if you like... perhaps i'm not gonna solve that until i'm back home...
