[02:42] <miguelux> hola
[02:42] <miguelux> hello
[02:42] <miguelux> im installing xubuntu
[03:53] <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?
[03:54] <zaapiel> nevermind
[03:54] <zaapiel> found it
[06:28] <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
[06:30] <cuda> but neither of them seem to work. The network tool in the tray shows  "Enable Wireless" greyed out, and I cannot enable it.
[11:56] <t105> hi :)
[11:58] <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...
[12:11] <t105> in syslog i can see 2 things, gdm-session-worker: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL  and gdm-simple-greeter: Gtk-WARNING
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <t105> after login it closes the session immidiately
[12:27] <TheSheep> t105: try checking your .xsessionerrors
[12:27] <TheSheep> t105: in ~
[12:28] <t105> i did... there is only one line
[12:28] <t105> beginning session setup...
[12:28] <t105> that's all
[12:29] <TheSheep> you are logging in with no password?
[12:30] <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
[12:32] <t105> first i thought it might be an x11 issue, but there are no errors... weird
[12:34] <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
[12:36] <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?
[12:37] <TheSheep> or startxfce4
[12:37] <TheSheep> no
[12:38] <t105> oh... x is already running
[12:39] <t105> i'll boot into console
[12:42] <t105> well startxfce4 did
[12:43] <t105> there is a desktop
[12:44] <t105> it works as root, maybe there is a session issue with my user account?
[12:45] <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 :)
[12:46] <TheSheep> log in as the user
[12:46] <t105> well i started from grub as root
[12:46] <TheSheep> su your_username -
[12:47] <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
[12:48] <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?
[12:49] <TheSheep> someone tried to use # comments in C-like file?
[12:49] <t105> when i searched on my problem i saw people stating these
[12:50] <t105> and there are gtk errors
[13:06] <t105> well, starting normally again and i end up in this login loop again
[13:11] <TheSheep> t105: did you try choosing a different session?
[13:13] <t105> yes, you mean the selection at the bottom of the login screen
[13:13] <t105> had no effect
[13:17] <t105> but i could log in and use xfce when i started from shell
[13:18] <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
[13:22] <t105> created user "test" and it does the same login loop ;(
[13:24] <t105> thank you sheep so far, i'll try again later... need to have a break o_O
[13:28] <t105> auth.log has some info
[13:29] <t105> gdm-session-worker sais again requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "test"
[13:29] <t105> session opened
[13:30] <t105> nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0
[13:30] <t105> pam_unix: session closed
[13:30] <t105> *sigh*
[13:31] <TheSheep> you didn't mess with PAM?
[13:31] <TheSheep> what if you add an user to that nopasswdlogin group?
[14:23] <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
[14:25] <t105> so thats not an issue, just the question of how to log in
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <t105> i dont see any messages x11 is failing
[14:27] <t105> it must be something in xfce
[14:28] <t105> maybe it starts some tool/widget/whatever that fails and kicks me out?
[15:09] <TheSheep> t105: btw, you might try removing the window manager settings
[15:09] <TheSheep> t105: there was one theme that crashed xfwm4
[15:58] <t105> hm.. still caught in a login loop, and it's no x11 issue :/
[17:12] <pteague_work> !natty
[17:49] <vine> Anyone mind helping me getting my video drivers working properly?
[19:08] <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?
[19:11] <Sysi> i don't know eaxctly, but basically by adding packages to ubuntu server
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <aroman> Sysi: any idea where I might be able to find out exactly?
[19:14] <Sysi> !purexfce
[19:14] <Sysi> somewhere around there are packages listed
[20:52] <cheeseboy> there a way to install ubuntu using the old non-gui installer?
[20:52] <cheeseboy> xubuntu*
[20:53] <Sysi> the alternate installation disk means that
[20:55] <cheeseboy> im having trouble finding that
[20:56] <charlie-tca> cheeseboy: grab it here then - http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/maverick/release/
[20:56] <cheeseboy> thnx
[20:57] <charlie-tca> desktop is gui installer, alternate is the non-gui
[20:58] <cheeseboy> my computers too old for gui installer
[20:58] <cheeseboy> keeps freezin
[20:59] <Sysi> how much RAM?
[20:59] <cheeseboy> 256mb
[21:02] <t105> @TheSheep got it working now
[21:03] <t105> login loop was caused by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/663135
[21:03] <t105> deleted directory /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70fglrx_32bit_dri
[21:04] <t105> no crash anymore.... damn! ;)
[21:04] <t105> yes i tried fglrx ... 4! years ago
[21:45] <LinXnut> Hi, I need help with networking...
[21:46] <charlie-tca> !networking
[21:47] <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
[21:49] <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 :(
[21:51] <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
[22:19] <gog> quick question
[22:19] <gog> why is my default browser setting being ignored
[22:20] <TheSheep> gog: hah, in terminal?
[22:20] <gog> yes
[22:20] <TheSheep> gog: I spent last night trying to figure that out
[22:20] <Sysi> third one i hear telling about that problem
[22:20] <gog> I thought I saw an update that fixed this
[22:20] <TheSheep> gog: turned out it's the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[22:20] <TheSheep> gog: and the http handler defined there
[22:21] <gog> okay
[22:21] <gog> okay making it chromium.desktop fixed my problem
[22:21] <gog> thanks!
[22:22] <TheSheep> easy :)
