[02:53] What's the easiest way to automatically login a user? [03:12] zilly, ? [03:12] how so? [03:13] you mean to autologin a session? [03:13] 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] :) [03:13] its easy [03:14] GridCube, mind letting me in on the secret? =] [03:14] :P [03:14] go to >System >Login screen (sp?) and set it up to autlogin [03:14] (sorry i have my setup in spañish) [03:15] GridCube, I don't have a login screen under system. [03:15] you can launch the aplication whit >alt-F2 >gdm-setup >run [03:16] sorry i can't remember the correct names in english [03:16] (or if they moved it of place on 11.04) [03:17] but whit the last thing i gave you, you should be able to configure it to autologin [03:17] !info gdmsetup [03:17] Package gdmsetup does not exist in natty [03:17] :( [03:20] it does exist zilly is gdmsetup [03:20] whit no - [03:20] GridCube, do you have to have gdm installed? [03:20] i just tried it [03:20] yes [03:20] zilly, if you don't a lot of things will broke [03:21] also until 11.04 gdm is part of xubuntu, whitout it we can not provide you support :( [03:21] because its part of xubuntu [03:21] starting whit 11.10 we will ship lightdm [03:22] * GridCube says "we" as he is part of the team XD [03:22] as if^ [03:28] well you offer support enough, so surely a part of the team (community) [03:30] bazhang: He is, he does ISO testing too [03:30] Making a slick new interface for it even [03:30] Unit193, indeed, to counter his "as if" === yakeb is now known as yakeb-away === yakeb-away is now known as yakeb === yakeb is now known as yakeb-sorryforfl === yakeb-sorryforfl is now known as yakeb-flooder === yakeb-flooder is now known as yakeb === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [07:34] n [08:42] Hi, I'm a newbie and I try to use Vino on lastest stable Xubuntu.

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [09:42] thx well_laid_lawn [09:43] np :) [09:57] morning everyone [09:58] may I ask something ? [09:58] been fighting to install xubuntu or lubuntu for over 5 hours now [09:59] more that my first slackware in 1995... [09:59] is there any web page I missed that would cover booting problems ? [09:59] morning [09:59] the live CD boots all-right [09:59] but I can't get the system to boot then from HD [09:59] I eventually replaced the boot loader with LILO [10:00] did the installer copy all the files to your HD succesfully? [10:00] 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] I would try with SUPERGRUBDISK wontboot [10:00] from which I only have read-only access [10:00] SGD [10:00] yes it did [10:00] lubuntu did [10:00] xubuntu did :D [10:01] everytime, as a precaution, I just have it format the relevant partition [10:01] (/dev/sda1 for /, /dev/sda4 for home is kept untouched of course) [10:01] are there any other partitions? [10:01] what is SGD ? [10:01] where do you try to install grub? [10:02] 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] basically [10:02] when I start up [10:02] !enter [10:02] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ wontboot [10:02] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:02] all I see is the bios screen, and then just an empty sceen with blinking cursor [10:02] ok I'll check that out :) [10:02] where do you try to install grub? [10:03] 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] hmm ok you could try booting without any splash or quiet mode so you could see what the system is doing [10:04] I suggest you wontboot rescautex... that stuff is cool and userfriendly [10:04] like first going to the grub menu and then like manually entering the boot commands or selecting the boot option you want [10:04] SaaMmY I'll make sure to try that right now :) [10:04] m6locks : it doesn't even get that far :) [10:04] you can get to the menu by holding shift key when it is booting [10:04] stops right after the bios, not even mentioning any PBL [10:05] I'll try supergrubdisk before bothering you guys any more :) [10:06] oh one last question though [10:06] as I only have access to this one workstation [10:06] which is running on live CD right now [10:06] is there an way to unmount the live CD in order to burn a CD ? [10:06] (I know that sounds tricky...) [10:07] you need to use the same usb-port for a drive? [10:08] oh sorry you're right [10:08] wontboot do you need to burn the SGD in a pendrive right? [10:08] I forgot you can boot from USB these days [10:08] aye, the usb stick boot is VERY convenient [10:09] 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] I'll check if it can boot from pendrive :D [10:09] yes with unetbootin is universally easy to burn iso into pendrive [10:10] backup your pendrive... and download the standalone unetbootin for linux [10:10] and then is userfriendly but if you have to ask ask it here [10:11] wontboot unetbootin [10:11] thanks :) [10:11] u r welcome [10:11] I tossing this house inside out to find a pendrive right now [10:11] the owner told me "it's there on the desk"... over phone [10:11] :) [10:11] i my opinion it is a lot easier to just use dd to copy the iso [10:11] lol [10:12] are you stealing inside houses? [10:13] :D [10:14] yeah, making a mess is part of the service :D [10:15] secret agent [10:15] I was asked to replace an old install with a recent xubuntu or lubuntu [10:15] XD [10:15] I said "nor prob, that'll take 1/2 hour, works staight" [10:15] so I came hands in my pockets, no pendrive, no own laptop... [10:15] and know I'm stuck [10:15] I know this situation mate [10:15] I did it too [10:15] stupid me :D [10:16] wontboot cd rom? [10:16] virgin cd? [10:16] yes, I have this ONE virgin cd i found here [10:16] ok [10:16] question was : since I'm running the PC from a live CD right now, is there anyway [10:16] to burn a CD ? [10:17] ? I don't understand [10:17] (I live 100 km from here... shuttling home to fetch the proper kit is not an option :D) [10:17] well I started Xfburn [10:17] but the thing legitimately told me it can't access the CD drive, cause it's mounted [10:18] and obviously I don't manage to unmount it [10:18] so I wondered if there was any special trick to get the CD to run from RAM maybe [10:18] and free the drive [10:18] ok no [10:18] ok [10:18] :D [10:18] unetbootin works on hardisk too [10:18] try it but I don't have garantee [10:19] you can unmount it by force, but the system might require reading some files from the cd when running software when burning [10:21] if you have some free partition select by unetbootin that one and burn the iso in there [10:21] I could crush the swap partition [10:21] then reboot as unetbootin says [10:21] that's the only free one [10:21] right way wontboot [10:21] use it [10:21] make it as ext3 [10:21] or fat32 [10:22] you will restore it [10:22] ok so let's recapitulate before I dig my hole even deeper [10:23] I change it to ext3 and I just run unetbootin to create a bootable partition on my future-ex-swap [10:23] ? [10:23] or does Rescatux still fit into the picture somwhere ? [10:23] cause that's starting to feel dodgy :D [10:23] I don't know rescatux I 'd use grub2 but if it fits inside the swap size it's ok [10:23] cause the other option is I take a tour from the neighbours (whom I don't know) and beg for a pendrive :D [10:24] yep swap is 2 Go [10:24] oh ok wontboot use it as you are doing [10:24] ok guys [10:25] first of all, I must really say a big big thank you for the advice [10:25] I feel like a total leech right now [10:25] coming over unprepared and stuff... [10:25] everyone starts from there [10:25] not having fettled with linux installs for four years (living on the dark side of OSX now...) [10:25] did you write everything? things to do list XD? [10:25] and the second thing I have to say is : [10:25] "Banzai" !!! [10:26] i'd say KAMIKAZEEEEEEEEEEEE [10:26] no but seriously Good Luck mate [10:28] thanks [10:28] I'll try the safe option first [10:28] beg access to a machine in the neighborhod [10:28] in if I get shot at with big salt [10:28] then I'll try that swap crushing craze [10:28] thanks a lot guys [10:28] I think we'll have to loose radio contact for now :) [10:29] but I'll make sure I return the favour :) [10:29] ok gl wontboot [10:29] ;) [11:01] Alguno que hable español???

[15:26] I own a laptop with an ati graphics card [15:26] the best option is to install the proprietary driver? [15:26] cause it makes boot loader ugly... [15:27] it makes me doubt on its performance [15:31] GridCube, any suggestions? [15:35] mmh [15:36] never used ati [15:36] so i don't know about that [15:36] you could google arround and see peoples opinion [15:36] s [15:37] >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.
