| zacarias | how do you change your default login manager when you have severl desktops? I'm running Kubuntu but, when I logout, I always have GDM. | 00:04 |
| Torch | zacarias: might be sufficient to just modify /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 00:06 |
| Torch | zacarias: haven't tried though | 00:06 |
| zacarias | Torch: I'll try that. Tx | 00:08 |
| Zacarias | Torch: Well, I tried that and I ended up with no DM. I just have a prompt, I made login, but no X. How do I start X? | 00:17 |
| Torch | Zacarias: if that does not immediately work, i suggest you undo your changes. | 00:17 |
| Torch | Zacarias: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 00:19 |
| Torch | Zacarias: it might ask if you want to set kdm as your default display manager | 00:20 |
| Zacarias | Yes, I did it from the prompt. Now I'm trying to reboot. It will probably work. | 00:20 |
| Torch | Zacarias: it does not for me because i don't have any other dm installed, but i dimly remember... ok. | 00:20 |
| Zacarias | Torch: ok, I'll try that also. (I'm writing from a Mac). There it is, the GDM. | 00:21 |

| lethu | ScottyK, not if you disable all the resource demanding eye-candy | 01:17 |

| Guest9457 | I'm trying to upgrade to kubunutu 11.10 from ubuntu 10.10 without doing a clean install how would I go about doing that? | 02:16 |
| EvilResistance | Guest9457: you'd have to do incremental upgrades... | 02:17 |
| EvilResistance | Guest9457: are you trying to switch from KDE to GNOME/Unity, or do you want to keep KDE? | 02:17 |
| Guest9457 | I'm already using GNOME and want to go into KDE | 02:18 |
| EvilResistance | Guest9457: ah. | 02:18 |
| Guest9457 | I'm going Ubuntu ===> Kubuntu | 02:18 |
| EvilResistance | Guest9457: i see. you can *start* by installing kubuntu-desktop from the repos | 02:18 |
| EvilResistance | i saw your statement and reread your older one | 02:18 |
| Guest9457 | okay | 02:18 |
| Guest9457 | how would I go about doing that? | 02:19 |
| EvilResistance | Guest9457: in terminal: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 02:19 |
| EvilResistance | note you'll have a TON of stuff that gets downloaded | 02:19 |
| EvilResistance | (the gnome stuff will still exist, i know there's a method for removing it but i dont remember what it is) | 02:20 |
| Guest9457 | it will leave a bunch of kde jive in with my gnome right? | 02:20 |
| EvilResistance | it'll add a bunch of KDE stuff to your installation | 02:20 |
| EvilResistance | the GNOME stuff will still exist... | 02:20 |
| EvilResistance | but it wont display well in KDE | 02:20 |
| Guest9457 | okay that's fine | 02:20 |
| EvilResistance | after its done installing all the stuff from kubuntu-desktop, you'll need to do release upgrades twice... once to get to 11.04 Natty, and then another time to get to 11.10 Oneiric | 02:21 |
| EvilResistance | that command is sudo do-release-upgrade | 02:21 |
| EvilResistance | BUT BEFORE YOU RUN THAT | 02:21 |
| EvilResistance | back up your files | 02:21 |
| FloodBotK3 | EvilResistance: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:21 |
| Guest9457 | oh yeah I meant 11.10 | 02:22 |
| EvilResistance | in case the thing explodes and your system breaks. | 02:22 |
| Guest9457 | I'm already on oneiric | 02:22 |
| EvilResistance | Guest9457: ah. if you're on oneiric, just install kubuntu-desktop | 02:22 |
| EvilResistance | then you'll be fine | 02:22 |
| Guest9457 | neat thanks | 02:23 |

| ts2 | arinov_: yes, the same as for Ubuntu | 07:02 |

| SeanTater | When reinstalling (k)ubuntu, do you need to install/setup anything in order to detect an existing software RAID array | 12:59 |
| eichi | hello. I changed /etc/hostname but not /etc/hosts -> now sudo seems not to run anymore! what can I do now? | 13:14 |
| eichi | thats why I cant change the /etc/hosts now ;D | 13:15 |
| SeanTater | eichi: for future reference I think this is what the program "hostname" is for. ;P But the only way i can think of that you could change /etc/hosts is by booting into recovery mode and then selecting a root prompt when it boots | 13:19 |
| SeanTater | There might be a way of getting around it though -- | 13:19 |
| SeanTater | Maybe you could open it with a graphical text editor? I think they use policykit instead so it might work, but I wouldn't swear to it | 13:20 |
| eichi | SeanTater: which gui editor I can use, which promts for password? | 13:23 |
| eichi | but no problem, I use recovery mode | 13:24 |
| eichi | its just kubuntu in virtual box ;) boots in seconds | 13:24 |
| eichi | hm, I thought ESC gives my grub promt? | 13:26 |
| DerezzedGoat | eichi: you may need to press and hold earlier | 13:27 |
| eichi | DerezzedGoat: okay, sounds like a reaction game ;) I will try | 13:28 |
| eichi | hm. maybe its a problem with virtualbox, that it pipes the ESC to late to guest system :( | 13:29 |
| SeanTater | Failing that, you could always boot the install CD and edit the file from there. | 13:31 |
| SeanTater | You'll still need to use sudo but I don't think there's a password on the install/live cd | 13:32 |

| eichi | caius_: thats the idea of this channel - but you have to tell your problem first - hard to help you at the moment | 13:36 |
| SeanTater | eichi: You could probably mount the virtual disk as a volume but I don't know off hand how. It's probably tougher tha booting a live cd | 13:36 |

| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 13:40 |
| ts2 | ^ the first command kills anything that may be locking the dpkg database | 13:41 |
| eichi | ts2: oh it was dkpg thought apt-get has this too ;) | 13:42 |
| eichi | dpkg | 13:42 |
| ts2 | eichi: apt-get is just a front-end to dpkg anyway | 13:42 |
| eichi | I know | 13:42 |
| eichi | does not mean, that it pipes *all* comments that exists in dpkg to dpkg. know one knows...just the man page ;) | 13:43 |
| caius_ | when it`s finished i will try again to install software | 13:44 |
| caius_ | i will let you know | 13:44 |
| caius_ | thanks guys | 13:44 |
| caius_ | it works! | 13:45 |
| ts2 | eichi: the only thing apt does that dpkg does not do is give you the ability to resolve dependencies and download packages automatically, everything else is all dpkg | 13:45 |
