| zilly | What's the easiest way to automatically login a user? | 02:53 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | zilly, ? | 03:12 |
| GridCube | how so? | 03:12 |
| GridCube | you mean to autologin a session? | 03:13 |
| zilly | GridCube, I don't think. I don't want a GDM to display. I want to user to be logged in without having to enter a password or anything. | 03:13 |
| GridCube | :) | 03:13 |
| GridCube | its easy | 03:13 |
| zilly | GridCube, mind letting me in on the secret? =] | 03:14 |
| GridCube | :P | 03:14 |
| GridCube | go to >System >Login screen (sp?) and set it up to autlogin | 03:14 |
| GridCube | (sorry i have my setup in spañish) | 03:14 |
| zilly | GridCube, I don't have a login screen under system. | 03:15 |
| GridCube | you can launch the aplication whit >alt-F2 >gdm-setup >run | 03:15 |
| GridCube | sorry i can't remember the correct names in english | 03:16 |
| GridCube | (or if they moved it of place on 11.04) | 03:16 |
| GridCube | but whit the last thing i gave you, you should be able to configure it to autologin | 03:17 |
| GridCube | !info gdmsetup | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Package gdmsetup does not exist in natty | 03:17 |
| GridCube | :( | 03:17 |
| GridCube | it does exist zilly is gdmsetup | 03:20 |
| GridCube | whit no - | 03:20 |
| zilly | GridCube, do you have to have gdm installed? | 03:20 |
| GridCube | i just tried it | 03:20 |
| GridCube | yes | 03:20 |
| GridCube | zilly, if you don't a lot of things will broke | 03:20 |
| GridCube | also until 11.04 gdm is part of xubuntu, whitout it we can not provide you support :( | 03:21 |
| GridCube | because its part of xubuntu | 03:21 |
| GridCube | starting whit 11.10 we will ship lightdm | 03:21 |
| * GridCube says "we" as he is part of the team XD | 03:22 | |
| GridCube | as if^ | 03:22 |
| bazhang | well you offer support enough, so surely a part of the team (community) | 03:28 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: He is, he does ISO testing too | 03:30 |
| Unit193 | Making a slick new interface for it even | 03:30 |
| bazhang | Unit193, indeed, to counter his "as if" | 03:30 |

| wontboot | morning everyone | 09:57 |
| wontboot | may I ask something ? | 09:58 |
| wontboot | been fighting to install xubuntu or lubuntu for over 5 hours now | 09:58 |
| wontboot | more that my first slackware in 1995... | 09:59 |
| wontboot | is there any web page I missed that would cover booting problems ? | 09:59 |
| SaaMmY | morning | 09:59 |
| wontboot | the live CD boots all-right | 09:59 |
| wontboot | but I can't get the system to boot then from HD | 09:59 |
| wontboot | I eventually replaced the boot loader with LILO | 09:59 |
| m6locks | did the installer copy all the files to your HD succesfully? | 10:00 |
| wontboot | which gets the thing to start up but eventually bumps into weird HD problems I'd never seen before, and drops me into some sort of failsafe command-line mode | 10:00 |
| SaaMmY | I would try with SUPERGRUBDISK wontboot | 10:00 |
| wontboot | from which I only have read-only access | 10:00 |
| SaaMmY | SGD | 10:00 |
| wontboot | yes it did | 10:00 |
| wontboot | lubuntu did | 10:00 |
| wontboot | xubuntu did :D | 10:00 |
| wontboot | everytime, as a precaution, I just have it format the relevant partition | 10:01 |
| wontboot | (/dev/sda1 for /, /dev/sda4 for home is kept untouched of course) | 10:01 |
| m6locks | are there any other partitions? | 10:01 |
| wontboot | what is SGD ? | 10:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | where do you try to install grub? | 10:01 |
| wontboot | only those two partitions : /dev/sda1 for /, where I do the install, and a /dev/sda4 with a /home directory which I want to preserve | 10:02 |
| wontboot | basically | 10:02 |
| wontboot | when I start up | 10:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | !enter | 10:02 |
| SaaMmY | http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ wontboot | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:02 |
| wontboot | all I see is the bios screen, and then just an empty sceen with blinking cursor | 10:02 |
| wontboot | ok I'll check that out :) | 10:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | where do you try to install grub? | 10:02 |
| wontboot | i'm not familiar enough with grub, so I just went with the default option in the main ubuntu installer, that was "/dev/sda" simply | 10:03 |
| m6locks | hmm ok you could try booting without any splash or quiet mode so you could see what the system is doing | 10:03 |
| SaaMmY | I suggest you wontboot rescautex... that stuff is cool and userfriendly | 10:04 |
| m6locks | like first going to the grub menu and then like manually entering the boot commands or selecting the boot option you want | 10:04 |
| wontboot | SaaMmY I'll make sure to try that right now :) | 10:04 |
| wontboot | m6locks : it doesn't even get that far :) | 10:04 |
| m6locks | you can get to the menu by holding shift key when it is booting | 10:04 |
| wontboot | stops right after the bios, not even mentioning any PBL | 10:04 |
| wontboot | I'll try supergrubdisk before bothering you guys any more :) | 10:05 |
| wontboot | oh one last question though | 10:06 |
| wontboot | as I only have access to this one workstation | 10:06 |
| wontboot | which is running on live CD right now | 10:06 |
| wontboot | is there an way to unmount the live CD in order to burn a CD ? | 10:06 |
| wontboot | (I know that sounds tricky...) | 10:06 |
| m6locks | you need to use the same usb-port for a drive? | 10:07 |
| wontboot | oh sorry you're right | 10:08 |
| SaaMmY | wontboot do you need to burn the SGD in a pendrive right? | 10:08 |
| wontboot | I forgot you can boot from USB these days | 10:08 |
| m6locks | aye, the usb stick boot is VERY convenient | 10:08 |
| wontboot | I just need to find one around this place... this is not my place, I'm doing this as a favour on an old PC | 10:09 |
| wontboot | I'll check if it can boot from pendrive :D | 10:09 |
| SaaMmY | yes with unetbootin is universally easy to burn iso into pendrive | 10:09 |
| SaaMmY | backup your pendrive... and download the standalone unetbootin for linux | 10:10 |
| SaaMmY | and then is userfriendly but if you have to ask ask it here | 10:10 |
| SaaMmY | wontboot unetbootin | 10:11 |
| wontboot | thanks :) | 10:11 |
| SaaMmY | u r welcome | 10:11 |
| wontboot | I tossing this house inside out to find a pendrive right now | 10:11 |
| wontboot | the owner told me "it's there on the desk"... over phone | 10:11 |
| wontboot | :) | 10:11 |
| m6locks | i my opinion it is a lot easier to just use dd to copy the iso | 10:11 |
| SaaMmY | lol | 10:11 |
| SaaMmY | are you stealing inside houses? | 10:12 |
| SaaMmY | :D | 10:13 |
| wontboot | yeah, making a mess is part of the service :D | 10:14 |
| SaaMmY | secret agent | 10:15 |
| wontboot | I was asked to replace an old install with a recent xubuntu or lubuntu | 10:15 |
| SaaMmY | XD | 10:15 |
| wontboot | I said "nor prob, that'll take 1/2 hour, works staight" | 10:15 |
| wontboot | so I came hands in my pockets, no pendrive, no own laptop... | 10:15 |
| wontboot | and know I'm stuck | 10:15 |
| SaaMmY | I know this situation mate | 10:15 |
| SaaMmY | I did it too | 10:15 |
| wontboot | stupid me :D | 10:15 |
| SaaMmY | wontboot cd rom? | 10:16 |
| SaaMmY | virgin cd? | 10:16 |
| wontboot | yes, I have this ONE virgin cd i found here | 10:16 |
| SaaMmY | ok | 10:16 |
| wontboot | question was : since I'm running the PC from a live CD right now, is there anyway | 10:16 |
| wontboot | to burn a CD ? | 10:16 |
| SaaMmY | ? I don't understand | 10:17 |
| wontboot | (I live 100 km from here... shuttling home to fetch the proper kit is not an option :D) | 10:17 |
| wontboot | well I started Xfburn | 10:17 |
| wontboot | but the thing legitimately told me it can't access the CD drive, cause it's mounted | 10:17 |
| wontboot | and obviously I don't manage to unmount it | 10:18 |
| wontboot | so I wondered if there was any special trick to get the CD to run from RAM maybe | 10:18 |
| wontboot | and free the drive | 10:18 |
| SaaMmY | ok no | 10:18 |
| wontboot | ok | 10:18 |
| wontboot | :D | 10:18 |
| SaaMmY | unetbootin works on hardisk too | 10:18 |
| SaaMmY | try it but I don't have garantee | 10:18 |
| m6locks | you can unmount it by force, but the system might require reading some files from the cd when running software when burning | 10:19 |
| SaaMmY | if you have some free partition select by unetbootin that one and burn the iso in there | 10:21 |
| wontboot | I could crush the swap partition | 10:21 |
| SaaMmY | then reboot as unetbootin says | 10:21 |
| wontboot | that's the only free one | 10:21 |
| SaaMmY | right way wontboot | 10:21 |
| SaaMmY | use it | 10:21 |
| SaaMmY | make it as ext3 | 10:21 |
| SaaMmY | or fat32 | 10:21 |
| SaaMmY | you will restore it | 10:22 |
| wontboot | ok so let's recapitulate before I dig my hole even deeper | 10:22 |
| wontboot | I change it to ext3 and I just run unetbootin to create a bootable partition on my future-ex-swap | 10:23 |
| wontboot | ? | 10:23 |
| wontboot | or does Rescatux still fit into the picture somwhere ? | 10:23 |
| wontboot | cause that's starting to feel dodgy :D | 10:23 |
| SaaMmY | I don't know rescatux I 'd use grub2 but if it fits inside the swap size it's ok | 10:23 |
| wontboot | cause the other option is I take a tour from the neighbours (whom I don't know) and beg for a pendrive :D | 10:23 |
| wontboot | yep swap is 2 Go | 10:24 |
| SaaMmY | oh ok wontboot use it as you are doing | 10:24 |
| wontboot | ok guys | 10:24 |
| wontboot | first of all, I must really say a big big thank you for the advice | 10:25 |
| wontboot | I feel like a total leech right now | 10:25 |
| wontboot | coming over unprepared and stuff... | 10:25 |
| bazhang | everyone starts from there | 10:25 |
| wontboot | not having fettled with linux installs for four years (living on the dark side of OSX now...) | 10:25 |
| SaaMmY | did you write everything? things to do list XD? | 10:25 |
| wontboot | and the second thing I have to say is : | 10:25 |
| wontboot | "Banzai" !!! | 10:25 |
| SaaMmY | i'd say KAMIKAZEEEEEEEEEEEE | 10:26 |
| SaaMmY | no but seriously Good Luck mate | 10:26 |
| wontboot | thanks | 10:28 |
| wontboot | I'll try the safe option first | 10:28 |
| wontboot | beg access to a machine in the neighborhod | 10:28 |
| wontboot | in if I get shot at with big salt | 10:28 |
| wontboot | then I'll try that swap crushing craze | 10:28 |
| wontboot | thanks a lot guys | 10:28 |
| wontboot | I think we'll have to loose radio contact for now :) | 10:28 |
| wontboot | but I'll make sure I return the favour :) | 10:29 |
| SaaMmY | ok gl wontboot | 10:29 |
| wontboot | ;) | 10:29 |
| Kokonut | Alguno que hable español??? | 11:01 |
| Kokonut | install Compiz?? | 11:02 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | 11:03 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 11:03 |

| focalt | yo guys | 13:00 |
| focalt | is the prprietary ati driver for xubuntu 10.4 the best option? | 13:01 |
| focalt | like... I get a reeeally bad looking boot loader | 13:01 |
| focalt | anyone? | 13:08 |
| focalt | also I would like to understand why xubuntu lucid has pulseaudio? | 13:08 |
| focalt | what for? | 13:08 |
| oregano4 | Guten Tach auch | 13:19 |
| focalt | yo | 14:57 |
| focalt | anybody can help» | 14:57 |
| focalt | anybody can help? | 14:57 |
| focalt | i'm trying to install an audio card driver, but when I type 'make' | 14:59 |
| focalt | http://pastebin.com/hE9Z5Zhq > this happens... | 14:59 |
| GridCube | mmm lets see | 15:00 |
| GridCube | you dont have /lib/modules/2.6.32-33-generic/build | 15:00 |
| GridCube | its says so right there | 15:01 |
| GridCube | if im not mistaken you need to install build-essentials | 15:01 |
| focalt | hum | 15:02 |
| focalt | build-essential is already the newest version.7 | 15:02 |
| GridCube | ok | 15:03 |
| GridCube | then you need... | 15:03 |
| GridCube | linux-headers-2.6.32-33-generic | 15:05 |
| focalt | hoe do I do that | 15:06 |
| focalt | how* (sorry i'm a bit new to linux) | 15:06 |
| GridCube | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-33-generic | 15:06 |
| focalt | thanks :) | 15:07 |
| GridCube | :) hope it solves your problems | 15:07 |
| GridCube | i | 15:07 |
| GridCube | if not come back and we will try something else | 15:07 |
| focalt | i'll report in a while... | 15:07 |
| focalt | working! | 15:10 |
| focalt | thanks a lot man :D | 15:10 |
| GridCube | focalt, you are welcome :) good luck | 15:12 |
| focalt | yo again | 15:26 |
| focalt | other thing... | 15:26 |
| focalt | I own a laptop with an ati graphics card | 15:26 |
| focalt | the best option is to install the proprietary driver? | 15:26 |
| focalt | cause it makes boot loader ugly... | 15:26 |
| focalt | it makes me doubt on its performance | 15:27 |
| focalt | GridCube, any suggestions? | 15:31 |
| GridCube | mmh | 15:35 |
| GridCube | never used ati | 15:36 |
| GridCube | so i don't know about that | 15:36 |
| GridCube | you could google arround and see peoples opinion | 15:36 |
| GridCube | s | 15:36 |
| GridCube | >The open source driver is currently not on par with the proprietary driver in terms of 3D performance on newer cards or reliable TV-out support. It does, however, offer better dual-head support, excellent 2D acceleration, and provides sufficient 3D acceleration for OpenGL-accelerated window managers, such as Compiz or KWin. | 15:37 |
| GridCube | so you choose | 15:38 |
| focalt | how can I make bootloader picture of xubuntu to disapear? | 15:42 |
| GridCube | !plymouth | 15:44 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 15:44 |

| focalt | http://paste.pocoo.org/?reply_to=482267 | 18:03 |
| focalt | and I can't install anything via synaptic... | 18:04 |
| focalt | can someone help? | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel in 4 hours. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings | 18:07 |
| GridCube | focalt, how come you can't install from synaptic | 18:11 |
| focalt | GridCube, I don't know, it gives me that error... | 18:12 |
| focalt | and it began with trying to unisntall and install a lot of stuff | 18:12 |
| GridCube | synaptic gives you a python error? | 18:12 |
| focalt | maybe I screwed things up | 18:13 |
| GridCube | can you run it from a terminal, and grab the dumped log, and then post it to a pastebin? | 18:13 |
| focalt | for example | 18:14 |
| focalt | I try to install idjc | 18:14 |
| focalt | and it say this (without installing) | 18:14 |
| focalt | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/482283/ | 18:14 |
| focalt | well atually it installs... | 18:15 |
| focalt | but then I can't run the app | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | in a terminal, type sudo apt-get update and hit enter | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | Then type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and hit enter | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | see what it says | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | it won't run because it did not completely install | 18:16 |
| focalt | charlie-tca, but it doesn't appear as broken | 18:16 |
| charlie-tca | according to your paste it does | 18:17 |
| focalt | on synaptic I mean | 18:17 |
| focalt | anyway i'll paste the output of the commands you gave me | 18:17 |
| focalt | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/482284/ | 18:18 |
| charlie-tca | python-twisted is broken, bad. | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | try removing it, restarting, and then installing it again. | 18:21 |
| focalt | restarting system? | 18:22 |
| focalt | or synaptic? | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | I would use sudo apt-get remove idjc python-twisted-web python-twisted-lore python-twisted-conch python-twisted | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | all on one line in terminal | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | close synaptic, do it in terminal. | 18:22 |
| focalt | ok | 18:22 |
| focalt | then reboot? | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | then try reinstalling them through the terminal, using sudo apt-get install | 18:23 |
| charlie-tca | and the same list of files | 18:23 |
| focalt | ok | 18:23 |
| charlie-tca | Then it should tell you what to do to fix it | 18:23 |
| focalt | uninstalled | 18:23 |
| focalt | rebooting | 18:23 |
| focalt | ok | 18:26 |
| focalt | now | 18:26 |
| focalt | reinstall | 18:26 |
| focalt | hum... | 18:27 |
| focalt | charlie-tca, http://pastebin.com/AtPshRix | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | It won't work. You should remove those again,. | 18:33 |

| focalt | so I just uninstall? | 18:35 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 18:35 |

| charlie-tca | bug 814933 | 18:35 |

| focalt | I guess i'll just reinstall xubuntu for now | 18:38 |
| focalt | :\ | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | looking | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | You could try run in a terminal | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | sudo apt-get clean | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | then try removing again | 18:39 |
| focalt | same error | 18:40 |
| charlie-tca | It is not necessary to reinstall for this, but it might take another reboot to let you finish the removals | 18:40 |
| focalt | i'll brb | 18:40 |
| focalt | 5mins | 18:40 |
| focalt | charlie-tca, back | 19:04 |

| charlie-tca | Tried a different screensaver? | 20:45 |
| Algyz | random is on | 20:45 |
| charlie-tca | Then try one at a time and see which one is causing the issue. | 20:46 |
| Algyz | the one with kernel number is appearing :) | 20:46 |
| charlie-tca | Then try one at a time and see which one is causing the issue. | 20:47 |

| madbovine | hey guys quick question...does xubuntu have dropbox integration? | 21:07 |
| madbovine | any help with that? | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | It has it through xfce, but not through the repositories | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | If you install using dropbox-nautilus, it installs nautilus | 21:12 |
| madbovine | so no way to do it through thunar? | 21:12 |
| charlie-tca | I installed it using the information in http://antrix.net/posts/2008/dropbox-without-gnome/ and it worked fine with Thunar | 21:12 |
| madbovine | hmm...ok | 21:14 |
| focalt | madbovine, I alway used dropbox with thunar | 21:15 |
| focalt | and I installed nautilus one | 21:15 |
| focalt | I dunno what that means, but alway worked for me | 21:15 |
| madbovine | nautilus one? | 21:15 |
| madbovine | oh nevermind | 21:15 |
| focalt | dropbox-nautilus | 21:16 |
| madbovine | and it worked with thunar without any extra work? | 21:16 |
| focalt | yes | 21:16 |
| madbovine | interesting | 21:16 |
| madbovine | does it display in the systray? | 21:16 |
| focalt | and on a karmic install | 21:16 |
| focalt | yes | 21:16 |
| madbovine | I wonder if it would keep working if you then uninstalled nautilus | 21:17 |
| focalt | yeah... dunno | 21:17 |
| focalt | but it installed nautilus? | 21:17 |
| madbovine | may not wanna try | 21:17 |
| madbovine | thanks guys...I think i can now give xubuntu a try | 21:17 |
| focalt | I didn't noticed | 21:17 |
| Algyz | how to know name of sound device? It is not /dev/dsp. I just want to know name of microphone. | 21:34 |
| knobydobs | how to get fglrx to work with xubuntu | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | Algyz: open a terminal and type sudo lspci, search it for microphone | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | or maybe just mic | 21:37 |
| Algyz | there is strange app, called xvidcap :) | 21:38 |
| charlie-tca | knobydobs: I have to wait for someone else on that | 21:38 |
| charlie-tca | !info xvidcap | 21:38 |
| ubottu | xvidcap (source: xvidcap): Screen video capture for X. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu11 (natty), package size 1140 kB, installed size 2792 kB | 21:38 |
| knobydobs | http://pastebin.com/t1wUhG7t | 21:43 |
| charlie-tca | knobydobs: did you do what it said? | 21:46 |
| charlie-tca | System -> Additional Drivers should have the ati driver to install | 21:46 |
| charlie-tca | If it is already installed, try running aticonfig in a terminal? | 21:47 |
| hombre | hello | 21:47 |
| knobydobs | nothing in aditional drivers and aticonfig not recognising card | 21:47 |
| hombre | any wizzard in here to help me with some minor issue xubuntu related | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | Then catalyst was correct | 21:48 |
| hombre | i wait until someone will be available | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | !details | hombre | 21:48 |
| ubottu | hombre: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:48 |
| hombre | ok | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | No one has ever given an answer without a question | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | knobydobs: If the card isn't recognized, catalyst can't work | 21:49 |
| hombre | just installed xubuntu dual boot with win xp and it was ok until i did updates because after restart and login and enter password it wont go to desktop | 21:49 |
| hombre | it comes back to login screen asking for login and passwd | 21:50 |
| hombre | i added new user same problem | 21:50 |
| charlie-tca | Change anything? | 21:50 |
| hombre | i did updates lots o fthem | 21:50 |
| hombre | them | 21:50 |
| hombre | it was a fine installation i was almost proud | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | Do you get a grub menu when booting? | 21:51 |
| hombre | good graphics nice speed | 21:51 |
| hombre | yes | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | go to recovery mode, try fix broken packages, clean, then restart and see if it will login | 21:51 |
| hombre | i have an older version which is xubuntu generic 622... and a newer one which is xubuntu generic 622. 11 | 21:51 |
| knobydobs | ok but its in there and giving me my graphics | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | hombre: I don't know what those numbers are | 21:52 |
| hombre | oh, you mean choose from the menu to fix those packages | 21:52 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu versions are different than that | 21:52 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:52 |
| hombre | ok, that i didnt do that, i ll try | 21:52 |
| charlie-tca | knobydobs: A video driver is installed, but apparently, not the ati hardware driver that catalyst wants | 21:53 |
| hombre | something elese, when i boot into safe mode, i can get to the command line ok but i have no idea how to start desktop with sudo and so | 21:53 |
| hombre | i mean this is my first linux install ever | 21:54 |

| hombre | ok, charlie-tca, thanks, and i come back with the beer if all goes ok, thanks again and all the best | 21:55 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 21:55 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel in 4 Minutes. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings | 21:56 |
| knobydobs | i did !ati and aticonfig came up saying there were no supported adapters | 21:56 |
| focalt | /usr/lib/pd-extended/bin/pd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.5.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 22:01 |
| focalt | what to do? | 22:01 |
| knobydobs | how to get catalyst to recognise my gpu? | 22:12 |
| focalt | hey guys | 22:47 |
| focalt | I have 2 separated harddisks | 22:48 |
| focalt | i'm using sdb | 22:48 |
| focalt | and I want to access my sda hd | 22:48 |
| focalt | how do I do that? | 22:48 |
| charlie-tca | is sda a windows drive? | 23:14 |
| m6locks | it's whatever is you hard drive partitioned with | 23:16 |
| m6locks | +r | 23:16 |
| knome | m6locks, naturally, but if it's a windows drive, the way to get it to use is different. that's why charlie-tca asked. | 23:17 |
| GridCube | my sisters computer, in wich i installed xubuntu, doesnt allow her to log in | 23:18 |
| charlie-tca | Why not? | 23:18 |
| charlie-tca | what does it do? | 23:18 |
| knome | GridCube, did she was her hands? xubuntu wants its users to be clean. ;) | 23:18 |
| GridCube | it started to ask her for a password at loging | 23:18 |
| GridCube | but it doesnt accept it | 23:18 |
| charlie-tca | That's a good sign, normally then it works | 23:18 |
| GridCube | and it was preconfigured to login | 23:18 |
| charlie-tca | It doesn't accept it at all, just gives "invalid password? | 23:19 |
| GridCube | i doenst accept it | 23:19 |
| GridCube | i could guide her to log in from tty1 | 23:19 |
| GridCube | but for somereason her desktop is on tt8 | 23:19 |
| GridCube | tty8 | 23:19 |
| charlie-tca | It should be giving a message on the login screen "invalid password" if it doesn't accept it. If it just flashes back to login, that's a different issue | 23:20 |
| GridCube | yes that last one | 23:20 |
| GridCube | she has 11.04 | 23:20 |
| charlie-tca | That's harder | 23:20 |
| GridCube | :( | 23:20 |
| charlie-tca | If she installed the wildbush theme, you have to remove ~/.cache and ~/.config and restart | 23:20 |
| GridCube | she did nothing of that | 23:21 |
| GridCube | it started closing her chromium windows when she opened them | 23:21 |
| charlie-tca | If she somehow managed to turn ~/.ICEauthority to a root file, just use chown to make it her user name again | 23:21 |
| charlie-tca | chromium I don't enough about to help | 23:22 |
| GridCube | she didn't even knew the password for root | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | And autologin no longer works? | 23:22 |
| GridCube | no | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | but she can log in through the tty? | 23:22 |
| GridCube | i told her how | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | Did it work? | 23:22 |
| GridCube | by phone | 23:22 |
| GridCube | yes | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | Then she needs to turn off autologin | 23:22 |
| GridCube | mmm | 23:23 |
| GridCube | how? | 23:23 |
| charlie-tca | log in to the tty, cd /etc/gdm | 23:23 |
| charlie-tca | sudo nano gdm.custom | 23:23 |
| GridCube | oh boy | 23:23 |
| charlie-tca | remove or comment the line to autologin, save, restart | 23:23 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 23:23 |
| charlie-tca | or just create a new user, maybe | 23:23 |
| charlie-tca | But that is hard too from the tty | 23:24 |
| GridCube | :/ so complicated | 23:24 |
| knome | charlie-tca, adduser username? :P | 23:24 |
| charlie-tca | You don't have ability to ssh in and fix it? | 23:24 |
| GridCube | why is that NOT ONE SINGLE time i wan't to install xubuntu to someone and I say, it will be better, NOT ONE SINGLE TIME im correct | 23:24 |
| GridCube | there is always a huge issue like this | 23:25 |
| GridCube | im pretty upset | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | because you did not set up ssh to fix things like this | 23:25 |
| knome | lol | 23:25 |
| knome | maybe tell her to install openssh-sercer | 23:25 |
| knome | *server | 23:25 |
| knome | that might be easier | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | knome: she doesn't even have root password | 23:25 |
| GridCube | i can tell her that | 23:25 |
| knome | ;) | 23:25 |
| GridCube | but the problem is what IP does she has? | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | GridCube: did you make her user an admin user? | 23:26 |
| GridCube | how can i tell? | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | have her log in to the tty and do ifconfig | 23:26 |
| GridCube | it was just a plain install | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | she can give you the ip from the top line | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | well, from this: inet addr:192.168.51.3 | 23:26 |
| knome | wait, ifconfig doesn't necessarily show you the WAN ip | 23:27 |
| knome | that's useless. that's your local network :) | 23:27 |
| charlie-tca | OMG, it's wireless, too? | 23:27 |
| GridCube | ifconfig doesnt do that | 23:27 |
| charlie-tca | That's a local network because I assign all my own IP addresses here | 23:27 |
| GridCube | its wireless but she is corded | 23:27 |
| charlie-tca | If it is corded, it will show it | 23:27 |
| GridCube | it will not | 23:27 |
| charlie-tca | it will be a different number, though | 23:27 |
| GridCube | i just tried on mine | 23:28 |
| GridCube | it doesnt show internet adress just lan | 23:28 |
| knome | no, it doesn't show WAN ip even on corded, unless you specified the WAN ip to your ip settings | 23:28 |
| GridCube | i need her to log into her router | 23:28 |
| GridCube | or maybe use links to go to whatsmyip.com or somethinglike that | 23:29 |
| knome | GridCube, lynx --dump http://whatismyip.org/ | 23:29 |
| knome | GridCube, that outputs it to the shell | 23:29 |
| knome | (the external ip) | 23:29 |
| knome | does the router allow ssh ports? :P | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, good one. | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | We're going to make the poor guy scream... | 23:30 |
| GridCube | well | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | I am backing away, you try and help, knome, please. | 23:30 |
| knome | as much as i can | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | less confusing with one person | 23:31 |
| knome | i'm trying to do some commercial work in the side :| | 23:31 |
| charlie-tca | :) | 23:31 |
| GridCube | SHE DOESNT HAVS SSH-SERVER ON THE APT LIST | 23:37 |
| knome | GridCube, openssh-server | 23:38 |
| knome | GridCube, anc cut down the volume by a few dB's thanks ;) | 23:38 |
| GridCube | yes sorry | 23:39 |
| GridCube | thank you | 23:40 |
| knome | np | 23:40 |
| GridCube | i cant log in | 23:45 |
| GridCube | i cant log in :( | 23:46 |
| GridCube | time out | 23:46 |
| knome | are ssh port (22) allowed from router? | 23:46 |
| GridCube | i don't think | 23:46 |
| knome | s/are/is/ | 23:46 |
| knome | then you need to allow that, after which you should be able to log in | 23:46 |
| GridCube | yeah she wont | 23:47 |
| GridCube | :( | 23:48 |
| GridCube | i hate this | 23:48 |
| GridCube | i try to make things better and it just messes things up | 23:48 |
| madnick | she needs to create a user? | 23:51 |
| charlie-tca | GridCube: just have her create a new user, then | 23:52 |
| GridCube | i don't know if that will fix things | 23:52 |
| GridCube | will have her try | 23:53 |
| knome | or tell her to remove ~/.cache, if that'd help | 23:53 |
| GridCube | she quited | 23:54 |
| GridCube | she want's me to check he computer myself | 23:54 |
| GridCube | :/ | 23:54 |
| charlie-tca | How did she learn windows? | 23:55 |
| charlie-tca | It wasn't something that isn't learned | 23:55 |
| GridCube | yes, yes, but thats what it is | 23:55 |
