Space-DuckWhen I edit a file in gedit (gedit ~/.fluxbox/menu &), I get the following error message:  Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed05:25
Space-DuckWhat does that mean?05:25
Space-DuckEverything works fine, I just don't understand why I receive the message05:27
holsteinSpace-Duck: i wouldnt worry about it.. AFAIK, those are just messages, not necessarily errors05:27
holsteinlaunch anything from the terminal, and you'll more than likely see something scary looking ;)05:28

AirwardHello, I can't mount my usb mp3 player anymore, it says not authorized. And it used to work, when I had ubuntu 11.10 without encripted home folder.14:25
holsteinAirward: so.. you *had* ubuntu 11.10 without encrypted /home? and now you have ubuntu 11.10 *with* encrypted /home?14:29
Airwardy14:29
Airwardi still dont really understand how it works14:29
holsteinAirward: i say, choose your battles, and take things one at a time... either read about encryption, or make the device mount14:31
holsteinAirward: sometimes its just permissions issues14:32
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Manually_Mounting14:33
Sidewinder1Airward, Just out of curiosity, why do you feel that you 'need' an encrypted /home?14:33
holsteinSidewinder1: i went to it this last time for security... if i lose my laptop14:33
Sidewinder1Or were you just playing with or exploring encryption?14:34
Sidewinder1Lost/stolen lappy; that makes sense.14:34
holsteini hope14:35
holsteini havent gotten around to trying it... faking the scenario and seeing how it works14:35
Sidewinder1I was just wondering why Airward encrypted his..14:36
Sidewinder1Perhaps the same reason as you.14:37
AirwardI was kinda exploring, was reading about it earlier a bit, and when i was installing ubuntu again, i just chose encript to see where that will get me...14:50
AirwardLink helped14:50
Airwardit does not mount usb auto couse of encryption?14:51
holsteinAirward: not sure, now you know it is capable of booting, and you can go from there14:54
holsteini woudnt think the encryption would be the issue14:54
holsteini have automount working with encryption just fine14:55
coalwateri have a domain on a vps, i want to access the virtual host using ip, i remember it used to be "ip.ip.ip.ip/~username" is that correct? becuase it's not working, do i need to enable something in apache or what?15:00
Airwardholstein, thanks.15:00
holsteincoalwater: depends on the setup.. my box is like... http://ipaddress ..then i see apache15:03
coalwaterwell, http://72.29.68.228 what do i do from here15:03
coalwaterthis server has cpanel15:04
holsteincoalwater: on what port?15:04
coalwatercpanel? default cpanel port15:04
holsteintry http://72.29.68.228:2082/15:05
holsteini get a login there... not sure if thats what you need though15:05
coalwateri know, this isn't the problem15:05
coalwaterthis server has several domains15:06
coalwateri want to access one by ip/user15:07
coalwaterinstead of domain name15:07
holsteinyou have to have it setup that way on the backend AFAIK15:09
coalwaterholstein: any idea what do i need to enable/ setup15:18
holsteincoalwater: i feel like it depends on the server and the hosting, but im not familiar enough to definitively comment15:22
Airwardhow can I see if I have or do not have permision to mount usb player and how to change it?15:24
holsteinAirward: i would probably just try mounting as normal user15:25
coalwaterit should auto mount most of the time15:25
Airwardyeah, it used to, holstein  gave me a link how to manually mount it, but when i umount it I have to do this manualy again every time...15:27
Airwardwhat do you mean "normal" user?15:27
AirwardI have only one user... So it sound like "normal" user to me15:27
holsteinAirward: did you sudo umount it?15:30
holsteinif so, thats not mounting as normal user... i would just umount it, and try writing to it15:30
holsteinif you can, you have permissions15:30
Airwardmount: only root can do that15:32
Airwardi tried to mount now as a user15:33
holsteinhmmm... maybe thats a valid message though15:33
holsteinAirward: are you up to date with upgrades?15:34
holsteinwhat mp3 player is this?15:34
holsteini really think the encryption is *not* the issue15:34
Airwardit might not be, but I absolutely have no idea what can (couse it use to work alright...)15:35
Airwardlogic15:35
Airwardlogik*15:35
holsteinAirward: well, are you up to date with package updates?15:38
holsteinkernel updates could cause that, the way some sandisk mp3players are setup can do that15:38
Airwardit says software up to date15:38
Airwardi found this on the link you gave15:39
AirwardConfiguring Automounting15:39
AirwardTo enable or disable automount open a terminal and type gconf-editor followed by the [Enter] key.15:39
AirwardBrowse to /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount.15:39
holsteinAirward: did you mess with it? before or after you came here?15:39
Airwardbut there is no /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount15:39
holsteinAirward: if you have another USB stick, see that that auto mounts15:40
Airwardbefore15:40
holsteinif you have another machine, see that the (still to be named) mp3 player automounts there15:40
Airwardmy friends creative zen does not mount as well15:40
holsteinyes, but that is an mp3 player, what about just a USB stick?15:41
Airwardno, I dont have usb stick15:41
holsteinhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186880315:42
holsteini dont think ^^ that is helpful actually15:42
Airwarddo you know anything about this? -->The media_automount key controls whether to automatically mount media. If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically mount media such as user-visible hard disks and removable media on start-up and media insertion.15:46
Airwardi cant find media_automount15:47
Airwardjust /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_x_content_ignore15:47
holsteinAirward: i dont have an 11.10 install of normal ubuntu right now to test with15:47
Airwardand /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_x_content_open_folder15:48
holsteinAirward: just keep track of what you edit there and know how to revert if you make changes15:48
Sidewinder1Airward, Rename 'file' to 'fileback' than you'll always have a fallback if the new 'file' causes problems.15:50
Airwardthanks15:52
lalatenduM Airward: I have 11.10 installed ..let me what do you want to confirm/test15:53
holsteinlalatenduM: you cant though... unless you have the (still to be named) usb device that Airward has15:53
lalatenduMyup u r right15:53
holstein:/15:53
lalatenduMi dont have the USB device..just read that15:53
lalatenduM:)15:54
holsteinyou can see if you have an automount in gconf-editor15:54
holsteinsee if its been renamed or moved15:54
lalatenduMok15:54
lalatenduMholstein: Gconf editor is not a default in 11.1015:57
holsteinlalatenduM: that explains it15:57
lalatenduMi am installing it noe15:57
lalatenduMnow*15:57
holsteincan you help Airward figure out where the automount settings are in unity?15:58
lalatenduMyup...no prob15:58
holsteinAirward: ping... lalatenduM has 11.10, and is looking around for the automount settings let lalatenduM know if you *dont* need this information.. thanks15:59
Airwardk15:59
Airwardthanks again16:00
lalatenduMAirward: i am looking for the setting in 11.1016:00
lalatenduMwill let you know16:00
lalatenduMAirward: http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/09/how-to-turn-off-automount-feature-of.html16:02
lalatenduMyou need to do the opposite16:02

Airwardthats what I got after sudo fdisk -l16:03
lalatenduMhmm16:04
lalatenduMi guess its ur usb disk16:04
lalatenduMjust try the link i have given16:04
Airwardoh i havent seen it. just a sec. thnx.16:05
lalatenduMmake sure that you haven't selected the last selection "Never prompt for **"16:07
Airwardyeah, I knew where to find this and it was not selected (still is not)...16:10
holsteinAirward: the USB device should show up in sudo fdisk -l16:11
holsteini would confirm that the device is auto mounting on another machine16:12
holsteinmakes me think its an issue with that (still to be named) usb mp3 player16:12
Airwardit is Logik (i already said so) and i pasted results of sudo ldisk -l for it16:14

holsteinAirward: i see that now, but i didnt know that was what you were refering to16:15
Airwardsr16:15
holsteinAirward: OK.. so if its showing up there, and its able to me mounted, and not auto mounting, id say look for a bug report, and if there is not one, start one16:15
holsteinnot much to be done about it though16:15
hobgoblinAirward: I would make sure it's unplugged - go to log file viewer - then plug it in and see what messages it gets - I'd look in messages and syslog to start with - might give a clue as to what's going on16:17
hobgoblinpastebin anything that looks untoward16:18
lalatenduMyup..the messages from /var/log/syslog will be helpful16:19
lalatenduMseems like other people have issue with USB too..here is one..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186880316:20
Airwardproblem is it used to work on 11.1016:21
lalatenduMohh..I thought you are facing this issue in 11.10..16:22
coalwaterwhat's gitosis? and what's it for16:22
holsteinAirward: you are in 11.10 right?16:22
Airwardyeah16:22
holsteinit used to work on a box that you are implying the only difference is you now have encryption16:23
holsteinbut, i dont think thats what is causing the issue16:23
AirwardI am trying to remember evereything else I did after installing, but can't think of anything...16:24
hobgoblinAirward: lets just see if anything shows in syslog16:25
holsteinAirward: you can try the live CD you used to install with, and confirm that the logik device is still automounting as expected there16:25
holsteinAirward: i would look in syslog, and anywhere else hobgoblin suggests as well16:25
Airwardonly other change I made was to change automatik login  on user acc (and now I cant change it back...)16:26
Airwardat least not the same way16:26
holsteinhmmm, i know i have run into an issue where, when auto-login was enabled, wifi access points would not auto-join til i put in a password16:26
holsteinor made some other changes16:27
holsteinthats plausible... more plausible than the encryption i think16:27
holsteinstill, you should see that in the log i would expect16:27
Airwardlog wier is blan :/16:29
hobgoblincompletely?16:29
lalatenduMthats odd16:30
Airwardhow can I change automatik login again?16:30
Airwardyeah i know16:30
hobgoblinAirward: can you open a terminal and paste this command into it        cat /var/log/syslog |tail16:30

Airwardsorry16:40
AirwardI thin thats what you asked for16:40
asterismohi people16:42
AirwardOK, thanks guys, I have to go to work now... :/ I'll have to try to solve this later16:42
asterismohow do i set lxde session by default in oneiric?16:42
asterismoi found either gnome3 and unity very slow and choppy16:42
asterismolxde is very fine16:43
holsteinasterismo: for me, i just selected it in the gui at login, and it uses that session the next time as well16:43
lalatenduMAirward : talk to u later..BTW i don't see anything related to USB in syslog16:43
asterismobut i select that session and always enters in unity16:44
holstein/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and change user-session=16:44
holstein^^ maybe?16:44
lalatenduMasterismo: yup..select lxde in the login screen once..it will default login for u unless you change it16:44
AirwardlalatenduM,  I pasted 2nd link16:45
Airwardi thin 1st was wrong16:45
lalatenduMAirward: ohh..i didn't see that16:46
lalatenduMlet m elook16:46
Airwardhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/723431/16:46
lalatenduM hmmm16:47
lalatenduMsomething is odd16:47
lalatenduMwhen i connecta USB the syslog is like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/723445/16:48
lalatenduMAirward: do you have ntfs-config package....try sudo apt-get install ntfs-config16:53
asterismoi installed "lxde" package via apt-get and (i have set up automatic login), when i restart the machine it logs into unity again, i have to log out and re login in lxde, and then reboots and unity again17:00
asterismoi tried editing this file "gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"17:03
lalatenduMasterismo: yeah it working little odd 4 u17:03
asterismobut i tried replacing unity by lxde, or lxsession17:03
lalatenduMonce you select lxde while login..it should login to lxde nect time17:03
asterismobut it always logs in unity or gnome317:03
asterismoother odd behavior is that shuts down and logs out takes lot of time, both gnome3 and unity, lxde logs out and shuts down/reboots inmediately17:04
lalatenduMasterismo: what is ur Ubuntu version?17:05
asterismoanyway what entry should i put in etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf for lxde session?17:05
asterismooneiric17:05
asterismoi38617:05
lalatenduMasterismo: I am not familiar with etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf..let me see if I can get some information17:08
asterismomaybe someone here knows, thanks anyway, i'm still searching17:09
lalatenduMasterismo: see this...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806657&page=217:12
asterismoi'll read it17:19
asterismothanks17:19
