| zaapiel | good evening gentlemen | 03:53 |
| zaapiel | im about to install xubuntu 11.04 but want to use full disk encryption, does xubuntu have an alternative install like ubuntu does? | 03:53 |
| zaapiel | nevermind | 03:54 |
| zaapiel | found it | 03:54 |
| cuda | ok so I installed Xubuntu to this laptop but am failing to get the wireless working for it. | 06:28 |
| cuda | its a Dell Vostro 1720 | 06:28 |
| cuda | I went into additional drivers in the system menu, and installed both (one at a time) of the drivers that are available | 06:28 |
| cuda | but neither of them seem to work. The network tool in the tray shows "Enable Wireless" greyed out, and I cannot enable it. | 06:30 |
| t105 | hi :) | 11:56 |
| t105 | can somebody give me a hint... i upgraded 10.04 to 10.10 and now i'm facing the login-loop problem. searched the web and found some tips but none of them are working. xerrors show nothing, ice-authority permissions are okay... | 11:58 |
| t105 | in syslog i can see 2 things, gdm-session-worker: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL and gdm-simple-greeter: Gtk-WARNING | 12:11 |
| t105 | and in auth.log there is also gdm-session-worker telling me that "pam_succed_if(gdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user | 12:16 |
| t105 | after login it closes the session immidiately | 12:17 |
| TheSheep | t105: try checking your .xsessionerrors | 12:27 |
| TheSheep | t105: in ~ | 12:27 |
| t105 | i did... there is only one line | 12:28 |
| t105 | beginning session setup... | 12:28 |
| t105 | that's all | 12:28 |
| TheSheep | you are logging in with no password? | 12:29 |
| t105 | the question is in some way reasonable, because of the gdm messages above... but i really DO enter a password and the press enter... | 12:30 |
| t105 | at least i do, maybe it doesn't "get" it? | 12:30 |
| t105 | that would be more than strange | 12:30 |
| t105 | first i thought it might be an x11 issue, but there are no errors... weird | 12:32 |
| t105 | i had problems with video a year or so ago, that where because of this strange dell onboard video card ati ES1000, but since it was resolved it worked okay | 12:34 |
| TheSheep | I don't have any ideas either | 12:36 |
| TheSheep | you could try logging in the text console and trying startx | 12:36 |
| t105 | do i need some parameters? | 12:36 |
| TheSheep | or startxfce4 | 12:37 |
| TheSheep | no | 12:37 |
| t105 | oh... x is already running | 12:38 |
| t105 | i'll boot into console | 12:39 |
| t105 | well startxfce4 did | 12:42 |
| t105 | there is a desktop | 12:43 |
| t105 | it works as root, maybe there is a session issue with my user account? | 12:44 |
| TheSheep | argh, you were supposed to do it as the user | 12:45 |
| t105 | are there any files/dirs i could delete to get a clean session? | 12:45 |
| TheSheep | not as root | 12:45 |
| TheSheep | don't run x as root :) | 12:45 |
| TheSheep | log in as the user | 12:46 |
| t105 | well i started from grub as root | 12:46 |
| TheSheep | su your_username - | 12:46 |
| TheSheep | you can also switch to text console with alt+ctrl+f1 | 12:47 |
| t105 | after i closed the session i can see some messages in console | 12:47 |
| TheSheep | that's what nromally goes to .xsessionerrors I think | 12:48 |
| t105 | some of these i saw on the net which are parsing errors "invalid preprocessing directive #Those .. #or ..#Xft | 12:48 |
| t105 | yes but it dowsnt appear there | 12:48 |
| TheSheep | huh? | 12:48 |
| TheSheep | someone tried to use # comments in C-like file? | 12:49 |
| t105 | when i searched on my problem i saw people stating these | 12:49 |
| t105 | and there are gtk errors | 12:50 |
| t105 | well, starting normally again and i end up in this login loop again | 13:06 |
| TheSheep | t105: did you try choosing a different session? | 13:11 |
| t105 | yes, you mean the selection at the bottom of the login screen | 13:13 |
| t105 | had no effect | 13:13 |
| t105 | but i could log in and use xfce when i started from shell | 13:17 |
| t105 | maybe it used x in some failsave mode | 13:18 |
| TheSheep | t105: you can try creating a new user and seeing if there is the same problem | 13:18 |
| t105 | created user "test" and it does the same login loop ;( | 13:22 |
| t105 | thank you sheep so far, i'll try again later... need to have a break o_O | 13:24 |
| t105 | auth.log has some info | 13:28 |
| t105 | gdm-session-worker sais again requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "test" | 13:29 |
| t105 | session opened | 13:29 |
| t105 | nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 | 13:30 |
| t105 | pam_unix: session closed | 13:30 |
| t105 | *sigh* | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | you didn't mess with PAM? | 13:31 |
| TheSheep | what if you add an user to that nopasswdlogin group? | 13:31 |
| t105 | re | 14:23 |
| t105 | added test to nopasswdlogin, effect was when clicking on user in login screen, no pass is asked, tries to login, fails&comes back o_O | 14:23 |
| t105 | so thats not an issue, just the question of how to log in | 14:25 |
| t105 | what worries me is the message: "gdm-session-worker: pam_ck_connector(gdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0" | 14:26 |
| t105 | but i think it's just due to being logged in on tty0 | 14:26 |
| t105 | i dont see any messages x11 is failing | 14:27 |
| t105 | it must be something in xfce | 14:27 |
| t105 | maybe it starts some tool/widget/whatever that fails and kicks me out? | 14:28 |

| TheSheep | t105: btw, you might try removing the window manager settings | 15:09 |

| === emma is now known as em | ||
| t105 | hm.. still caught in a login loop, and it's no x11 issue :/ | 15:58 |

| aroman | hey everyone. can anyone tell me a little about/point me to somewhere I can learn about how Xubuntu takes Ubuntu and turns it into Xubuntu? | 19:08 |
| Sysi | i don't know eaxctly, but basically by adding packages to ubuntu server | 19:11 |
| aroman | ah, so Ubuntu server is the base image? | 19:12 |
| Sysi | it's the core system, or minimal-iso maybe is the actual one | 19:12 |
| aroman | Sysi: any idea where I might be able to find out exactly? | 19:13 |
| Sysi | !purexfce | 19:14 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 19:14 |
| Sysi | somewhere around there are packages listed | 19:14 |
| cheeseboy | there a way to install ubuntu using the old non-gui installer? | 20:52 |
| cheeseboy | xubuntu* | 20:52 |
| Sysi | the alternate installation disk means that | 20:53 |
| cheeseboy | im having trouble finding that | 20:55 |
| charlie-tca | cheeseboy: grab it here then - http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/maverick/release/ | 20:56 |
| cheeseboy | thnx | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca | desktop is gui installer, alternate is the non-gui | 20:57 |

| cheeseboy | keeps freezin | 20:58 |
| Sysi | how much RAM? | 20:59 |
| cheeseboy | 256mb | 20:59 |

| LinXnut | Hi, I need help with networking... | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | !networking | 21:46 |
| LinXnut | You may remember me from yesterday "LinuxNut"...I have a Dell Latitude D520 | 21:47 |
| charlie-tca | I don't, who were you talking with? | 21:47 |
| LinXnut | I installed Xubuntu without any problems....The only thing I am having trouble with is connecting to the internet through wireless or ethernet | 21:47 |
| LinXnut | I tried pluggin in my ethernet, but nothing happened...The same happened when I put in a "Wireless G Notebook" card it said "Firmware not installed." So, I am kinda stuck :( | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | The people in #ubuntu-beginners are great with networking, if no one here is able to help you | 21:51 |
| LinXnut | Ok thank you! :D | 21:51 |
