| l33o | hi | 08:38 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | hi | 08:39 |
| l33o | ;) | 08:39 |
| pcman | hi | 08:41 |
| pcman | trying cmake now | 08:41 |
| l33o | i am here on lubuntu 11.10 and i cant find an option or menu to choose desktop background wallpaper.....is this a bug? | 08:41 |
| pcman | right click on the desktop | 08:43 |
| pcman | l33o: and you'll find it. | 08:43 |
| l33o | i did that, its gone i think | 08:44 |
| l33o | when i right click there is Obconfig and Reconfigure...but these wont offer me any background changes | 08:45 |
| KM0201 | sounds like pcman isn't running | 08:46 |
| l33o | i changed background many times, but i guess now this isnt working because i cant find it anymore | 08:46 |
| l33o | just run pcman manually in shell? | 08:46 |
| pcman | l33o: try pcmanfm --profile lubuntu --desktop & | 08:47 |
| l33o | k...sec | 08:47 |
| l33o | i get this respone: [1] 2127 | 08:48 |
| pcman | l33o: then right click on desktop | 08:55 |
| l33o | k | 08:55 |
| l33o | what next then? | 08:55 |
| l33o | Obconfigure or reconfigure? | 08:56 |
| pcman | l33o: oops | 08:57 |
| pcman | l33o: then I guess the file manager crashes | 08:57 |
| pcman | l33o: try pcmanfm --desktop-pref then | 08:57 |
| pcman | l33o: if nothing works, I guess the file manager crashed. | 08:57 |
| l33o | sec | 08:58 |
| l33o | thaaaank youuuuu veryyyy much :))))) | 08:58 |
| l33o | success!!!! | 08:58 |
| l33o | this is the menu, that is lost here somehow :) | 08:59 |
| pcman | l33o: actually there is a shortcut in applications menu/preferences | 09:00 |
| l33o | i cant find it anymore ...its gone | 09:00 |
| l33o | i found that many times before | 09:00 |
| pcman | l33o: and I guess you have enabled the "use desktop menu of window manager" option. | 09:00 |
| pcman | l33o: so pcmanfm always use the openbox desktop menu rather than its own. | 09:01 |
| l33o | aaaaa | 09:02 |
| l33o | where can i find this use desktop menu option ? | 09:02 |
| pcman | l33o: the pcmanfm --desktop-pref dialog. | 09:03 |
| l33o | aaa :) | 09:03 |
| l33o | yes, you are right | 09:04 |
| l33o | this is enabled, i did that some days ago | 09:04 |
| l33o | solved! | 09:04 |
| l33o | :) | 09:04 |
| l33o | thank you pcman | 09:05 |
| pcman | l33o: np | 09:05 |
| pcman | l33o: is the file manager buggy? | 09:05 |
| pcman | l33o: does it crash often? | 09:05 |
| l33o | no | 09:05 |
| l33o | mabye one time it crashed | 09:05 |
| l33o | but only for one sec...then the desktop rebuild and i canwork....no freeze or so | 09:06 |
| l33o | but i decided to use compiz with lubuntu so i can reload window manager very easyily | 09:06 |
| l33o | in case of some crashes or dissapearing of the window decorations ( happend one time) | 09:06 |
| pcman | l33o: ok | 09:06 |
| * pcman is only worried about the buggy file manager he wrote. | 09:07 | |
| l33o | works very stable here ( old intel graphics laptop chipset) | 09:07 |
| l33o | works perfect | 09:07 |
| l33o | only for remocing usb stick safely i have to use the disc util | 09:07 |
| pcman | l33o: thanks | 09:07 |
| l33o | removing | 09:07 |
| l33o | thakn you | 09:07 |
| l33o | thank you | 09:07 |
| pcman | actually it's buggy. | 09:08 |
| * pcman doesn't have time to fix them yet. | 09:08 | |
| l33o | no problem...i am using the disc utility and i can remove very safely | 09:08 |
| l33o | the file manager is working really stable here | 09:09 |
| l33o | using it alot | 09:09 |
| head_victim | pcman: don't be too worried, it works damn well. | 09:09 |
| l33o | there was a problem but its gone: sometimes when deleting something from the desktop everything was selected and deleted from the desktop | 09:10 |
| pcman | :) | 09:10 |
| l33o | but this bug is gone | 09:10 |
| l33o | sorry had to do a halt -p | 09:27 |
| l33o | menu was gone hehehe | 09:27 |
| sam_ | Hi lubuntu broke my system. I would appricate help getting it back.. | 12:05 |
| sam_ | I did a fresh Natty install on this hardware http://pastebin.ca/2082686 | 12:05 |
| sam_ | I then installed lubuntu-desktop and dependencies just to give it a try. | 12:05 |
| sam_ | Now I cannot log into gnome, it gives an error something like: "too many xserver?/xsesson? arguments (2)" after the gdm login screen. | 12:05 |
| sam_ | I tried apt-get --purge remove lubuntu-desktop, but the xserver message persists, and I end up completely locked out of the machine, and have to re-install lubuntu-desktop from the command line in order to get a GUI back. | 12:06 |
| sam_ | Anyone have any ideas | 12:06 |
| kaja | sam_: i know what's wrnog, but since i have never used ubuntu or gdm i donno how to fix it heh :p | 12:07 |
| kaja | sam_: if it's anything like a more 'vanilla' system, the solution lies in your ~/.xinitrc | 12:07 |
| kaja | sam_: basically there's an artifact in your gdm config telling it to start into your old DE AND LXDE | 12:08 |
| sam_ | kaja, OK thanks | 12:09 |
| sam_ | that is someting to go on | 12:09 |
| sam_ | can i edit ~/.xinitrc or is it a system only file? | 12:09 |
| kaja | you may, but i suspect that isn't the solution because gdm does silly things | 12:10 |
| kaja | but yeah read through it and have a look | 12:10 |
| sam_ | can i just use an alternitive to gdm? i seem to remember there is one? | 12:11 |
| sam_ | or would apt-get --purge gdm + reinstall be worth a try? | 12:11 |
| sam_ | might just try xdm | 12:15 |
| kaja | meh, i dunno. i don't even know what the point of gdm is tbh | 12:19 |
| stlsaint | gdm for gnome | 12:20 |
| stlsaint | lxdm for lubuntu, etc etc | 12:20 |

| silverarrow | is there a way to fix grub in lubuntu? | 14:26 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: of course | 14:27 |
| KM0201 | you'll need a live cd/usb | 14:27 |
| silverarrow | I was booted in live cd just a few minutes ago | 14:29 |
| silverarrow | I could not find any grub related apps | 14:29 |
| KM0201 | it has to be done via command line | 14:29 |
| KM0201 | hang on | 14:29 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: follow the "chroot" section. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 14:30 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: actually the part right above that, looks a lot easier | 14:32 |
| KM0201 | if you want to do that under "copy partition files" | 14:32 |
| silverarrow | thanks | 14:32 |
| KM0201 | but either of those will work | 14:33 |
| silverarrow | I get to "grub line bash editing is supported ... press tab for commands | 14:33 |
| KM0201 | yeah... you need to boot a live cd/usbto run those commands | 14:33 |
| KM0201 | silverarrow: there's also a "purge and reinstall" section on that doc.. it looks pretty easy as welll (actually i think thats what i'd do) | 14:34 |
| silverarrow | I am in deep .... | 14:43 |
| KM0201 | whats wrong? | 14:44 |
| KM0201 | restoring grub is not that difficult. | 14:45 |
| silverarrow | I shall just have to go for it, ....down for reboot | 14:45 |
| KM0201 | well whats the.. | 14:45 |
| KM0201 | hm, guess he didn't want to stick around for clarification | 14:46 |
| bioterror | !grub2 | KM0201 | 14:47 |
| ubot5 | KM0201: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 14:47 |
| bioterror | KM0201, next time use that ;) | 14:47 |
| KM0201 | bioterror: i didn't know ubottu was alive here, but thats the link i gave him anyway | 14:47 |
| bioterror | KM0201, but if you dont give him exact commands, he will say "are you messing with me?" | 14:58 |
| KM0201 | i know how to use ubottu... | 14:58 |
| pip__ | Is there a bug open for a menu error when using lxpanel located at the top of the screen at all? | 14:59 |
| bioterror | KM0201, I mean mr. arrow ;) | 14:59 |
| KM0201 | oh really? | 14:59 |
| KM0201 | i've not helped him all that much, so don't know much about him, but he seems to have a lot of problems | 15:00 |
| bioterror | pip__, you've checked launchpad? | 15:01 |
| pip__ | I am doing so now bioterror | 15:02 |
| pip__ | it's already been reported & confirmed :) | 15:26 |
| KM0201 | i guess he just wanted to come here and tell us :) | 15:31 |
| KM0201 | i wonder if silver ever got his problem fixed | 15:31 |
| mh | how can I apply my keyboard layout system-wide? | 15:59 |
| mh | and second question, can I enable window snapping like I do in unity? | 16:02 |
| KM0201 | mh: not to my knowledge on the window snapping. | 16:10 |
| mh | KM0201, thanks | 16:10 |
| mh | what about the keyboard layout? it resets each time I reboot | 16:12 |
| mh | by the way, I have a question about the BIOS. Do you know where I can try to ask in the IRC? | 16:15 |
| KM0201 | no idea on the BIOS> | 16:17 |
| KM0201 | as for keyboard layout... | 16:17 |
| KM0201 | open a terminal and type this.. "gksudo lxkeymap" and when the utility opens, make your changes and apply them. | 16:18 |
| KM0201 | see if that changes it permanently | 16:18 |
| mh | okay KM0201, I will reboot | 16:20 |
| KM0201 | ij | 16:20 |
| KM0201 | ok | 16:20 |
| ubuntu_ | hi | 16:20 |
| mh | but I am not very optimistic... I will let you know | 16:20 |
| KM0201 | ok.. | 16:20 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: welcome | 16:20 |
| ubuntu_ | I was given a link to a grub repair, but i cannot seem to find it now that I am in live cd | 16:21 |
| KM0201 | !grub2 | 16:22 |
| ubot5 | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 16:22 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: probably the second link | 16:22 |
| KM0201 | actually, its probably the first | 16:22 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 16:22 |
| KM0201 | the second link has some instructions for it also though | 16:23 |
| ubuntu_ | : ) | 16:23 |
| mh | nope. | 16:24 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 16:24 |
| KM0201 | must be a configuration file somewhere | 16:24 |
| mh | I cannot set it to dvorak by default... | 16:24 |
| ubuntu_ | if I understand it correctly, there is a boot repair in the live lubuntu CD, and which also seem to be recommened ? | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | yes, you need to use a live cd to repair grub. | 16:26 |
| ubuntu_ | I am in live cd now | 16:27 |
| ubuntu_ | it says install boot repair, but not much more | 16:27 |
| ubuntu_ | from terminal? package manager? | 16:28 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: either one... package manager will probably be easier | 16:28 |
| KM0201 | mh: sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard | 16:29 |
| KM0201 | the key there, is "XKBLAYOUT=us" | 16:29 |
| KM0201 | the problem is, i don't know what you replace "us" with, to make it dvorak | 16:29 |
| ubuntu_ | I cannot find it it package manager | 16:30 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: hang on a sec | 16:30 |
| KM0201 | you're connected to the internet, right? | 16:31 |
| mh | oh thankssss | 16:31 |
| mh | thanks KM0201 | 16:31 |
| KM0201 | mh: no problem | 16:31 |
| KM0201 | after you put whatever you want there (in place of US)... hit Ctrl + X to save | 16:31 |
| KM0201 | then reboot, and see if it works | 16:31 |
| ubuntu_ | you usually set keyboard under: menu-preferances-keyboard & mouse | 16:31 |
| mh | thanks, I will use emacs | 16:32 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: it seems to be a known bug, that it doesn't save w/ the GUI tool (at least googling turned up lots of hits) | 16:32 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: do you only have one hard drive? | 16:33 |
| mh | oh, but it appears to be okay | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | well yeah, but.. if you change that configuration file, it should work | 16:33 |
| mh | XKBMODEL="pc105" | 16:33 |
| mh | XKBLAYOUT="us" | 16:33 |
| mh | XKBVARIANT="dvorak-intl" | 16:33 |
| mh | XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch" | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | mh: did you change it prior to looking at it? | 16:34 |
| ubuntu_ | ? | 16:34 |
| ubuntu_ | not me | 16:34 |
| mh | well, yeah, through the gui though | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | that's why its currently correct | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | doesn't matter | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | the GUI is just a front for that file really. | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | try this.. | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | do something to that file (like type a letter then delete it) | 16:35 |
| KM0201 | then save it.(make sure you're root) | 16:35 |
| KM0201 | and then reboot and see if the hcanges take lace | 16:35 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: do you only have 1 hard drive? | 16:35 |
| mh | okay thanks | 16:36 |
| ubuntu_ | no | 16:36 |
| ubuntu_ | I mean, I have an usb connected one for storage | 16:36 |
| mh | okay, let's sudo reboot now | 16:36 |
| ubuntu_ | usb sata in a caddie | 16:36 |
| KM0201 | ok, i was referring to internal drives | 16:37 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: wait, i see now... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:39 |
| KM0201 | go there | 16:39 |
| ubuntu_ | lost wifi connection | 16:39 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 16:39 |
| ubuntu_ | am I still here? | 16:39 |
| KM0201 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:39 |
| KM0201 | go to that website | 16:39 |
| ubuntu_ | that's where I am, and trying to understand | 16:40 |
| mh | no luck. | 16:40 |
| KM0201 | ok,... you're on a lubuntu live cd, right? | 16:40 |
| KM0201 | sorry mh, i'm at a loss on that issue. | 16:40 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 16:40 |
| ubuntu_ | 11.04 | 16:40 |
| KM0201 | mh: maybe bioterror or phillw will know | 16:40 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: open a terminal | 16:41 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 16:41 |
| KM0201 | paste this line into the terminal... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 16:41 |
| KM0201 | let it add the repository | 16:41 |
| KM0201 | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair | 16:41 |
| KM0201 | then paste that line, and let boot-repair install | 16:42 |
| ubuntu_ | it is installing !! | 16:42 |
| ubuntu_ | great | 16:43 |
| ubuntu_ | I must have made some pasting error | 16:43 |
| KM0201 | ok | 16:43 |
| mh | another question; I am the only user here and I don't want the login window when I boot. how can I disable this? | 16:43 |
| ubuntu_ | I am a lubuntu user? | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | hmm, | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | yes. | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | why? | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | i'm assuming you are anyway | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | mh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_to_enable_automatic_logon_in_LXDM | 16:46 |
| mh | I changed my account type from custom to administrator to see if it helps with my layout issue | 16:46 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: did it install ok? | 16:46 |
| ubuntu_ | yes, and I started it | 16:46 |
| KM0201 | mh: i bet that will fix your problem | 16:46 |
| ubuntu_ | do I just run the simple repair ? | 16:46 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: i would try that first | 16:47 |
| ubuntu_ | if I make a boot info summary, it will not interfere ? | 16:47 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: i wouldn't think so, but.. don't know, i've never really used that utility | 16:47 |
| ubuntu_ | recommended repair is running | 16:48 |
| ubuntu_ | sda1 is always internal? | 16:48 |
| KM0201 | no, not necessarily, but usually | 16:48 |
| ubuntu_ | oh no | 16:49 |
| KM0201 | ? | 16:49 |
| phillw | mh: use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_to_enable_automatic_logon_in_LXDM | 16:49 |
| ubuntu_ | I didn't unplug my usb hd | 16:49 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: i was just thinking that | 16:49 |
| KM0201 | well, hopefully it won't mess w/ it | 16:50 |
| mh | thanks phillw | 16:50 |
| ubuntu_ | it's blinking something worryingly | 16:50 |
| phillw | sorry for the echo, KM ;) | 16:50 |
| KM0201 | it happens | 16:50 |
| ubuntu_ | I hope any error is repairable | 16:50 |
| KM0201 | if it's not, this will be an abject lesson to disconnect unecessary drives while tryign to fix a drive | 16:51 |
| KM0201 | (but it's probably OK) | 16:51 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm letting the process run through, it might be all right | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | it takes several minutes it seems | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | doing a thorough job | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | it would be majorly stupid to have grub on a usb | 16:53 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: not really, it's not an uncommonthing for people to do. | 16:54 |
| ubuntu_ | I am not alone ? : ) | 16:54 |
| ubuntu_ | the boot repair is a nice on | 16:55 |
| ubuntu_ | one | 16:55 |
| ubuntu_ | a program that runs its self | 16:55 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: as long as it works | 16:56 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 16:57 |
| ubuntu_ | great for not experts | 16:57 |
| KM0201 | as long as it works.. | 16:58 |
| ubuntu_ | trying to fix stuff in file manager and root is major | 16:58 |
| KM0201 | naa, you just gotta get the hang of it | 16:58 |
| KM0201 | it's easy after you've done it a while. | 16:58 |
| ubuntu_ | it feels like the big confusion | 17:00 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as silverarrow | ||
| silverarrow | I can now reboot | 17:01 |
| KM0201 | ok | 17:01 |
| KM0201 | i figured that was you | 17:01 |
| silverarrow | sorry, at first the nick change lagged | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | no problem | 17:03 |
| silverarrow | I'm doing the summary too | 17:03 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu is nicer than puppy | 17:04 |
| silverarrow | desktop is more soli | 17:04 |
| silverarrow | not so flimsy | 17:04 |
| silverarrow | maybe I can get the lubuntu desktop in puppy linux | 17:04 |
| mh | nothing worked | 17:04 |
| KM0201 | silver why would you do that? | 17:05 |
| mh | change keyboard layout did not work, disable login screen did not work | 17:05 |
| KM0201 | what..? | 17:06 |
| KM0201 | i think you're doing something wrong, are you editing thos efiles, and saving them, as root? | 17:06 |
| silverarrow | editing keyboard should be the easiest thing | 17:09 |
| KM0201 | lol, i love his little wise ass comments | 17:13 |
| KM0201 | he can't find his rear end from a hole in the ground, and then talks about how easy things should be..lol | 17:13 |
| mh | I do everything with sudo | 17:17 |
| KM0201 | well, thats just as silly | 17:18 |
| kvarley | what's the current progress on Arm builds of LUbuntu? :) | 17:19 |
| mh | KM0201: I mean everything that was involved in this process... | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | yeah, i know.. :) | 17:20 |
| phillw | kvarley: the latest info I can find is at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-11-10-beta-2-oneiric-ocelot-released.html | 17:23 |
| mh | KM0201: can you please repeat the file that is behind the keyboard layout? | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | mh: /etc/default/keyboard | 17:24 |
| silverarrow | hi | 17:26 |
| silverarrow | it worked | 17:26 |
| silverarrow | all fine | 17:26 |
| silverarrow | thought I have no idea where the grub wet | 17:27 |
| silverarrow | went* | 17:27 |
| KM0201 | my guess is, you did something to it. | 17:28 |
| silverarrow | grub | 17:30 |
| silverarrow | hmm | 17:30 |
| silverarrow | |grub | 17:30 |
| silverarrow | how do you get the grub info? | 17:31 |

| silverarrow | thanks | 17:31 |
| mmhh | I am mh. Gosh, I cannot access Lxkeymap now | 17:39 |
| mmhh | probably since I changed some stuff in that keyboard file | 17:40 |
| silverarrow | not that is not the grub | 17:41 |
| silverarrow | unit193? | 17:41 |
| phillw | silverarrow: there is some background reading on grub2 along with some notes at http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5 | 17:42 |
| mmhh | can anyone tell me what do you have inside etc/default/keyboard? how are those four lines? | 17:42 |
| silverarrow | thanks | 17:43 |
| silverarrow | wait | 17:43 |
| silverarrow | root? | 17:43 |
| silverarrow | nothing in a way | 17:44 |
| phillw | mmhh: http://pastebin.com/DeV10c4R | 17:44 |
| mmhh | thanks phillw | 17:44 |

| phillw | Unit193: cool, my LVM guest additions are now working with lubuntu on my VM :) | 17:46 |
| silverarrow | oh a bit late there | 17:46 |
| Unit193 | phillw: Awesome! So still testing LSC? | 17:46 |
| phillw | Unit193: indeed. I have the latest one on. Very impressed with it :) | 17:46 |
| Unit193 | phillw: The one in bzr should be newer | 17:47 |
| phillw | bbl - dinner time! | 17:47 |
| Unit193 | Have some great grub | 17:48 |
| silverarrow | how do I check where grub went? | 17:49 |
| Unit193 | Where grub went? Did it walk off your computer? | 17:49 |
| silverarrow | not far from | 17:50 |
| Unit193 | You have to be a little more clear | 17:50 |
| silverarrow | I ran a grub repair, and I am a bit worried it went on my external usb connected SATA hd | 17:50 |
| Unit193 | check /etc/default/grub for config items | 17:50 |
| mh | stupid question: how can I put a shortcut in the menu bar? | 17:51 |
| Unit193 | mh: Ah, it's handily in the FAQs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides | 17:51 |
| silverarrow | looks like it is in the right place | 17:52 |
| mh | thanks Unit193 | 17:53 |
| silverarrow | thanks for the grub help | 17:54 |
| mh | hey, if I choose Default instead of Lubuntu I get Xsession: unable to launch Lubuntu xsession, failing back etc. How can I solve this? | 18:06 |
| mh | (In the login) | 18:06 |
| Unit193 | In LXDM, the session that's supposed to be used is Lubuntu | 18:07 |
| mh | Unit193: instead of Default? | 18:07 |
| Unit193 | Exactly, see if that works | 18:08 |
| mh | it works, but I assume that this error is connected to the fact that Lubuntu is not saving my keyboard settings when I boot | 18:08 |
| mh | when I reboot | 18:09 |
| mh | it also always showing the login screen, even when I set not to show it | 18:09 |
| Unit193 | Set not to show it in /etc/lxdm/default.conf ? | 18:11 |
| mh | yep | 18:11 |
| mh | autologin=mh | 18:12 |
| mh | session=/usr/bin/startlubuntu | 18:13 |
| mh | if I logout, the keyboard settings remain | 18:17 |
| mh | but they dissapear as soon as I reboot | 18:17 |
| pip__ | what's the little button that gives one shudown options etc called? | 18:17 |
| pip__ | I've managed to delete it from my panel & would like to put it back.... | 18:18 |
| mh | the strange thing is that if I comment everything in /etc/default/keyboard, change stuff in lxkeymap, nothing changes in /etc/default/keyboard . Even after reboot, everything is still commented | 18:20 |
| mh | by the way, I have chosen lxdm instead of gdm. maybe this is the reason? | 18:21 |
| mh | (I started with ubuntu and changed to lubuntu) | 18:21 |
| neofita | hello | 18:39 |
| neofita | I want to install the x86_64 Lubuntu inside a luks partition which in turn is installed inside a group of HD in RAID5 configuration. Made with a RAID5 controller Intel ICH10R | 18:41 |
| neofita | but the installation often freezes or ends but the system does not start | 18:42 |
| neofita | va bene lascio perdere | 18:45 |
| neofita | okay I give up | 18:45 |
| mh | I would like to run an app when lubuntu starts, how can I do that? | 19:23 |
| mh | actually I want to add a line | 19:23 |
| mh | setxkbmap dvorak :) | 19:23 |
| mh | anyone? | 19:28 |
| jmarsden | mh: If it needs to run as a startup script, add it to /etc/rc.local . If it needs to run at GUI logon, see the FAQ for autostarting apps... | 19:29 |
| jmarsden | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_in_to_Desktop | 19:30 |
| mh | thanks jmarsden | 19:34 |
| jmarsden | mh: You're welcome. | 19:35 |
| cjohnston | phillw: are you around? | 20:08 |
| phillw | cjohnston: I'm lurking :) | 20:08 |
| cjohnston | I'm wondering if my issue with lubuntu booting up has to do with the fact that those nvidia drivers are having trouble installing | 20:09 |
| cjohnston | I get a crash when it tries to install.. I'm trying to find the bug that was reported by apport last time | 20:10 |
| phillw | cjohnston: as I don't run on nvidia, I'm not really the best person to ask. I'm sure one of the support team has experience of them. | 20:10 |
| cjohnston | Gotcha | 20:11 |
| neighborlee | curious..does lubuntu have a decent installer similar to anaconda, whereby if you have windows7 and need to do paritition but are a naive windows user, that it guides you at least , or is this guidance in the self teach arena ? ;) | 20:54 |
| mh | "xsession:unable to launch ubuntu x session" | 21:03 |
| mh | and gives me lxde instead of lubuntu | 21:04 |
| m6locks | neighborlee: never had to do any kind of repartitioning, but yes, the installer was graphical and pretty good one | 21:04 |
| mh | it happens whenever I reboot | 21:04 |
| mh | any help on this? | 21:04 |
| mh | this happens if I use lxdm. I have no problems with gdm | 21:04 |
| mh | should I use gdm instead of lxdm? | 21:05 |
| phillw | neighborlee: the ubiquity installer that the ubuntu family use will happily install side by side with windows, Lubuntu uses the same system. | 21:08 |
| phillw | mh: Instead of "startx" try "sudo service lxdm start". That should give you the actual Lubuntu DE instead of standard LXDM. | 21:10 |
| mh | phillw: where? I got that error from startx when I boot | 21:11 |
| phillw | neighborlee: have a read of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 21:11 |
| phillw | mh: does issuing the command to start lxdm work when startx dies? | 21:12 |
| mh | it goes to lxde desktop | 21:13 |
| mh | it shows an lxde desktop, with the lxde wallpaper etc. not the lubuntu one | 21:14 |
| phillw | mh: okies, then we can try to start lubuntu instead. I just wanted to see if we could get a desktop running :) | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | How about startlubuntu? | 21:15 |
| phillw | Unit193: one step at a time, my good friend :D | 21:15 |
| mh | phillw: I can start lubuntu by logging out and choosing lubuntu | 21:17 |
| mh | but it won't save when I reboot | 21:17 |
| mh | and I get the same error | 21:18 |
| mh | unless I switch to gdm | 21:18 |
| mh | so I will stick to gdm. unless there is any reason for not doing this??? | 21:18 |
| phillw | mh: do you have both gdm and lxdm installed? | 21:19 |
| mh | no, I just removed lxdm | 21:22 |
| mh | phillw: is it okay to stick with gdm? | 21:25 |
| phillw | if you want gnome, then fine. one of the ideas behind lxdm was to reduce the resources needed to run a system. The raison d'etre for Lubuntu :) | 21:26 |
| mh | so is more consuming for my everyday computing to use gdm than lxdm? | 21:31 |
| phillw | gdm uses more resources than lxdm | 21:32 |
| mh | is gdm running all the time or is it only that login screen I get? | 21:32 |
| mh | sorry for stupid questions | 21:33 |
| Unit193 | It's going to stay running | 21:33 |
| phillw | mh: gdm will remain, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/UpgradeToLubuntu it does explain a bit more about things and how to 'cleanly' switch. | 21:34 |
| phillw | mh: In all honesty, I'd really suggest you make a seperate /home partition - that way, come what ever you do, your data is safe (unless you nuke the entire drive!). | 21:35 |
| phillw | mh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 21:36 |
| mh | okay, thanks | 21:37 |
