[00:47] how do i choose with audio device is my default in lucid? [00:47] which* [00:47] or choose the devices firstly [00:47] first* [02:42] hola [02:42] hello [02:42] im installing xubuntu === MisterJones is now known as lostson [03:53] good evening gentlemen [03:53] 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] nevermind [03:54] found it [06:28] ok so I installed Xubuntu to this laptop but am failing to get the wireless working for it. [06:28] its a Dell Vostro 1720 [06:28] I went into additional drivers in the system menu, and installed both (one at a time) of the drivers that are available [06:30] 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] hi :) [11:58] 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] in syslog i can see 2 things, gdm-session-worker: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL and gdm-simple-greeter: Gtk-WARNING [12:16] 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] after login it closes the session immidiately [12:27] t105: try checking your .xsessionerrors [12:27] t105: in ~ [12:28] i did... there is only one line [12:28] beginning session setup... [12:28] that's all [12:29] you are logging in with no password? [12:30] 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] at least i do, maybe it doesn't "get" it? [12:30] that would be more than strange [12:32] first i thought it might be an x11 issue, but there are no errors... weird [12:34] 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] I don't have any ideas either [12:36] you could try logging in the text console and trying startx [12:36] do i need some parameters? [12:37] or startxfce4 [12:37] no [12:38] oh... x is already running [12:39] i'll boot into console [12:42] well startxfce4 did [12:43] there is a desktop [12:44] it works as root, maybe there is a session issue with my user account? [12:45] argh, you were supposed to do it as the user [12:45] are there any files/dirs i could delete to get a clean session? [12:45] not as root [12:45] don't run x as root :) [12:46] log in as the user [12:46] well i started from grub as root [12:46] su your_username - [12:47] you can also switch to text console with alt+ctrl+f1 [12:47] after i closed the session i can see some messages in console [12:48] that's what nromally goes to .xsessionerrors I think [12:48] some of these i saw on the net which are parsing errors "invalid preprocessing directive #Those .. #or ..#Xft [12:48] yes but it dowsnt appear there [12:48] huh? [12:49] someone tried to use # comments in C-like file? [12:49] when i searched on my problem i saw people stating these [12:50] and there are gtk errors [13:06] well, starting normally again and i end up in this login loop again [13:11] t105: did you try choosing a different session? [13:13] yes, you mean the selection at the bottom of the login screen [13:13] had no effect [13:17] but i could log in and use xfce when i started from shell [13:18] maybe it used x in some failsave mode [13:18] t105: you can try creating a new user and seeing if there is the same problem [13:22] created user "test" and it does the same login loop ;( [13:24] thank you sheep so far, i'll try again later... need to have a break o_O [13:28] auth.log has some info [13:29] gdm-session-worker sais again requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "test" [13:29] session opened [13:30] nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 [13:30] pam_unix: session closed [13:30] *sigh* [13:31] you didn't mess with PAM? [13:31] what if you add an user to that nopasswdlogin group? [14:23] re [14:23] 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] so thats not an issue, just the question of how to log in [14:26] what worries me is the message: "gdm-session-worker: pam_ck_connector(gdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0" [14:26] but i think it's just due to being logged in on tty0 [14:27] i dont see any messages x11 is failing [14:27] it must be something in xfce [14:28] maybe it starts some tool/widget/whatever that fails and kicks me out? === thermi is now known as Thermi [15:09] t105: btw, you might try removing the window manager settings [15:09] t105: there was one theme that crashed xfwm4 === em is now known as emma === emma is now known as em [15:58] hm.. still caught in a login loop, and it's no x11 issue :/ [17:12] !natty [17:12] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [17:49] Anyone mind helping me getting my video drivers working properly? [19:08] 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] i don't know eaxctly, but basically by adding packages to ubuntu server [19:12] ah, so Ubuntu server is the base image? [19:12] it's the core system, or minimal-iso maybe is the actual one [19:13] Sysi: any idea where I might be able to find out exactly? [19:14] !purexfce [19:14] 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] somewhere around there are packages listed [20:52] there a way to install ubuntu using the old non-gui installer? [20:52] xubuntu* [20:53] the alternate installation disk means that [20:55] im having trouble finding that [20:56] cheeseboy: grab it here then - http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/maverick/release/ [20:56] thnx [20:57] desktop is gui installer, alternate is the non-gui [20:58] my computers too old for gui installer [20:58] keeps freezin [20:59] how much RAM? [20:59] 256mb [21:02] @TheSheep got it working now [21:03] login loop was caused by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/663135 [21:03] Ubuntu bug 663135 in gdm (Ubuntu) "gdm broken after update to 10.10 - instant session end - signal 15 - after login" [Low,Invalid] [21:03] deleted directory /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70fglrx_32bit_dri [21:04] no crash anymore.... damn! ;) [21:04] yes i tried fglrx ... 4! years ago [21:45] Hi, I need help with networking... [21:46] !networking [21:47] You may remember me from yesterday "LinuxNut"...I have a Dell Latitude D520 [21:47] I don't, who were you talking with? [21:47] 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] 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] The people in #ubuntu-beginners are great with networking, if no one here is able to help you [21:51] Ok thank you! :D [22:19] quick question [22:19] why is my default browser setting being ignored [22:20] gog: hah, in terminal? [22:20] yes [22:20] gog: I spent last night trying to figure that out [22:20] third one i hear telling about that problem [22:20] I thought I saw an update that fixed this [22:20] gog: turned out it's the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list [22:20] gog: and the http handler defined there [22:21] okay [22:21] okay making it chromium.desktop fixed my problem [22:21] thanks! [22:22] easy :)
