kodezgood day everyone.10:13
kodezwhere can i learn about programming the log in screen?10:13
confluencykodez: in which Ubuntu version?10:14
inetprokodez: download the source code10:15
kodezi am using ubuntu 11.10 Beta version but will be changing to Ubuntu 12.04 in May10:15
confluencykodez: Ubuntu used to use GDM for the login screen, but now it uses LightDM.10:15
confluencySo I would suggest googling for that and whatever you want to change.10:16
inetprokodez: what is it that you would like to change?10:17
confluencykodez: for an overview, maybe read this page on the Arch Linux wiki -- it's usually an excellent resource for all kinds of tweaks.  Just bear in mind that it's a different Linux flavour. :)  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM10:18

kbmonkeyhi locodir-user 13:41
magespawnTy, but I cannot take credit for the idea just for the code.13:41
kbmonkeyI could offer you some tips13:45
kbmonkeyalways treat print() as a function, ie call it with braces: print('story') and not: print 'story'13:47
kbmonkeythat syntax is going away in the future13:47
magespawnTy13:50
magespawnAny tips are good.13:50
magespawnSuperfly told me about pep813:51

Kerberobasically: don't14:20
Kerberoask koiosify 14:20
