[00:13] <manko> hey guys just installing lubuntu
[00:13] <manko> :D
[00:20] <phillw> manko: good to hear, for general chat just pop onto #lubuntu-offtopic, we even allow the devs on there ;)
[00:22] <manko> np :D
[05:10] <riddler> hi guys
[05:11] <riddler> I have lubuntu installed, but I would like other distro in my laptop like PuppyLinux or sLiTaz, but I want it so that the grub is in lubuntu
[05:14] <Unit193> Just don't install grub when you install the other system and run os-prober in lubuntu
[05:15] <riddler> oh ok, and how do I do that?
[05:15] <bioterror> sudo os-prober
[05:17] <riddler> that will automatically show grub2 when i restart comp, and then when  i decided to remove other distro, it wont mess up the boot rite?
[05:18] <bioterror> remember to clean your grub from junk then
[05:19] <riddler> ok how do I clean the grub
[05:19] <bioterror> by removing the not wanted OS's from it
[05:19] <bioterror> /boot/grub/grub.cfg if I remember right ;)
[05:20] <riddler> oh so even if i remove the other distro, it will still show in grub? it wont remove it automatically? i have to do it manually?
[05:21] <bioterror> just like boot.ini in Windows systems
[05:24] <riddler> alrity
[05:24] <riddler> thnx
[05:24] <bioterror> os-prober could remove it
[05:24] <bioterror> but we're not sure with Unit193
[05:24] <bioterror> you can give it a try after removing partitions
[05:30] <riddler> ya i will, be back, if things go smoothly :)
[07:24] <riddler> hey guys im back
[07:27] <riddler> i installed PuppyLinux, log on back to lubuntu and did the 'sudo os-prober' command, it says /dev/sda3:unknown Linux distribution:Linux:linux
[07:27] <riddler> I reboot and I don't see the grub2 bootloader, instead I booted directly to lubuntu
[07:29] <Unit193> Open a terminal and type    sudo nano /etc/default/grub    and make this line look like    #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[07:31] <riddler> i put # next to that stuff rite?
[07:32] <Unit193> Correct
[07:37] <riddler> ok I did that, but how do I save and exit, it says on the command on the bottom ^X it just type onto the file
[07:41] <b3n3> riddler: u also can use your fav editor like vi or joe to edit the /etc/default/grub
[07:42] <Unit193> ctrl+x
[07:43] <riddler> b3n3: oh ok thnx for the tips
[07:44] <riddler> Unit193: thnx dude got it now
[07:45] <riddler> i did update grub, im gonna reboot now brb
[07:52] <nkznzf> @nkznzf
[08:07] <riddler> ya it work, I can log onto the other distro fine, thnx Unit193 :)
[16:12] <micahg> just a hint that someone might want to fix the lubuntu-desktop depending on lightdm-greeter-example-gtk, it's changed to lightdm-gtk-greeter
[16:13] <micahg> otherwise lubuntu-desktop will be removed on dist-upgrade now
[21:42] <micahg> gilir: ooh, you copied my pidgin-microblog change :)
[21:43] <gilir> micahg, yes :)
[21:43] <micahg> so, is lxdm lighter than lightdm, or you just want something that works ATM until you can provide a conffile
[21:43] <gilir> it was a good idea :)
[21:44] <gilir> micahg, just waiting for the conffile
[21:44] <micahg> cool
[21:45]  * micahg wonders if that would work for xubuntu, does lxdm work with xubuntu?
[21:45] <micahg> oops
[21:45] <micahg> I meant with xfce :)
[21:46] <gilir> micahg, it could probably work, but you need to provide a configuration file :)
[21:46] <micahg> ah, I think more work that it's worth at this point
[21:46] <gilir> yes :)
[21:58]  * phillw waves to the boss :)
