| lewellyn | well, i thank you guys for lubuntu. it made my (short) time on ubuntu less painful. but ubuntu's not going to cut it for me, in the end, for this task. | 08:53 |
| leszek | hi | 11:10 |
| davidk | "init: lightdm main process (8546) terminated with status 1" | 15:24 |
| davidk | installation process seems to have crashed | 15:24 |
| davidk | does anyone know how to deal with crashing lubuntu install processes? | 16:24 |
| Lman | hi everyone | 16:29 |
| Lman | having trouble accessing my lubuntu box from the windows network | 16:29 |
| Lman | i can access the windows network but they can not access my lubuntu box although its visible on the network | 16:29 |
| davidk | Lman: what do you want to "access"? samba shares? is samba even configured? | 16:32 |
| Lman | yes samba is configured, able to see other windows machines on the network and access them, my lubuntu box shows up as well but can not be accessed | 16:33 |
| davidk | (disclaimer: I am not a lubuntu user, the installer crashes on my machine, and I am searching for help with that. but I have some general linux experience...) | 16:34 |
| davidk | Lman: which windows versions are in the network? | 16:34 |
| Lman | win 7 and xp | 16:34 |
| davidk | any security considerations you have? or just "it should work, no user/passwords required, this is a secure home environment"? | 16:36 |
| Lman | i used system-config-samba to configure the shared folder | 16:36 |
| davidk | can you pastebin your smb.conf? | 16:36 |
| Lman | my share name in system-config-samba however is not the same as the name of the lubuntu box when it shows up on the network | 16:37 |
| davidk | that's okay | 16:37 |
| davidk | difference is a "(Samba version)"? | 16:38 |
| Lman | will pastebin in a second | 16:38 |
| Lman | http://pastebin.com/H7zHyfUg | 16:39 |
| davidk | Lman: have you tried changing the security option? | 16:45 |
| davidk | http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-rg-en-4/s1-samba-security-modes.html | 16:45 |
| davidk | if security is not an issue you could try just changing that to "share" in line 102 (and uncomment it) | 16:47 |
| Lman | so change from security to share? | 16:48 |
| Lman | so share = user ? | 16:48 |
| davidk | user to share | 16:49 |
| davidk | security = share | 16:49 |
| Lman | gotcha | 16:49 |
| davidk | + removing the ";" at the beginning of the line | 16:49 |
| Lman | i was thinking since i am trying to share my home folder i man have to tell samba | 16:50 |
| Lman | under share definitions that home directories are browsable | 16:50 |
| davidk | ah, if that is what you are trying samba has some special treatment for home directories | 16:50 |
| Lman | so in samba ; also comments out a line? | 16:51 |
| davidk | yes | 16:51 |
| Lman | because friggin everything has a ; in front of it | 16:51 |
| davidk | yes | 16:51 |
| davidk | you are creating a share "DanBuntu", and it is not browsable | 16:51 |
| Lman | if thats the case there is a ; in front of browseable = yes when referring to my home folder (at bottom of config file) | 16:52 |
| davidk | but it should be accessible | 16:52 |
| davidk | yes, try changing that as well | 16:52 |
| davidk | couldn't hurt | 16:52 |
| Lman | ok, so one at a time, to see what does the trick , probablyl the best route? | 16:52 |
| davidk | there is also a [homes] section | 16:53 |
| davidk | this allows you to create shares for all your linux user home directories with a single setting | 16:53 |
| Lman | yea i saw that as well, and think i will probably have to change it | 16:53 |
| davidk | not if you only have a single user and want to keep the separate section at the bottom | 16:54 |
| Lman | so maybe if I uncomment that and make it browseable i might not need the DanBuntu setting | 16:54 |
| davidk | correct | 16:54 |
| Lman | i c | 16:54 |
| Lman | let me take a look | 16:54 |
| Lman | k just making DanBuntu browesable didn't do the trick | 16:55 |
| Lman | so now i will try the home section | 16:55 |
| Lman | Do I need to setup a new samba user? | 16:57 |
| davidk | your normal user account should be fine | 16:58 |
| Lman | ok | 16:58 |
| Lman | checking now, with home directories option enabled | 16:59 |
| davidk | with security=user the username you use for authentication is used for determining access privileges | 16:59 |
| Lman | windows complains that it can't find the computer or device name | 17:00 |
| davidk | but it shows it in the network neighbourhood (or whatever that is called)? | 17:01 |
| Lman | yea | 17:01 |
| Lman | strange | 17:01 |
| Lman | shows up as just dell-dell something, not the share name i gave it in samba | 17:02 |
| davidk | hmm... okay... weird.. | 17:02 |
| davidk | is samba running? | 17:02 |
| davidk | have you tried entering the server address manually in windows? | 17:02 |
| Lman | no | 17:03 |
| Lman | trying now | 17:03 |
| davidk | i.e. \\IP.AD.DR.ES\dell | 17:03 |
| Lman | get nothing when i enter that | 17:04 |
| === smile is now known as smile4linux | ||
| davidk | you replaces IPADDRES with your dell machine's IP address? | 17:13 |
| holstein | make sure you can ping back and forth | 17:14 |
| Lman | let me check | 17:14 |
| Lman | uncommenting the home directory options did nothing | 17:15 |
| Lman | where would i replace the ipaddress at | 17:17 |
| Lman | good grief i luv lubuntu but this is a major pain in the ass | 17:17 |
| davidk | samba sometimes is | 17:17 |
| holstein | samba always is for me | 17:17 |
| davidk | I don't like lubuntu, installer still crashes | 17:17 |
| holstein | i make windows do ssh :) | 17:17 |
| holstein | Lman: i would make certain you can ping the machines from each other | 17:18 |
| bioterror | davidk, use mini.iso ;) | 17:18 |
| bioterror | holstein, windows has crappy sshd implementations | 17:18 |
| davidk | bioterror: what is that? the codename of the alternate installer? | 17:18 |
| bioterror | !mini | 17:18 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:18 |
| bioterror | it's like alternate, without outdated packages :D | 17:19 |
| holstein | i didnt say it was great... just that its easier for me than samba | 17:19 |
| davidk | bioterror: before I continue, how likely is it lxde behaves the same as kubuntu-KDE4 when I tried yesterday, and crashes after booting? | 17:20 |
| holstein | http://www.swish-sftp.org/ for example | 17:20 |
| Lman | should i be using samba4? | 17:20 |
| Lman | or just samba | 17:20 |
| bioterror | davidk, hard to say | 17:21 |
| bioterror | davidk, but after you get into console you do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 17:21 |
| bioterror | davidk, and I bet you have a lot more latest drivers and packages than with regular installation | 17:22 |
| davidk | bioterror: it is a really old laptop, OLD drivers are not an issue | 17:22 |
| killsurfcity | hello! anyone here running 12.04 on a Powerbook 5,6 or the like? | 17:22 |
| bioterror | davidk, what's old? | 17:22 |
| davidk | (also it has been running gentoo for serveral years, just not the right distribution for its next owner) | 17:22 |
| davidk | 1GHz P3-M processor | 17:23 |
| bioterror | yes, it's old :D | 17:23 |
| davidk | yes | 17:23 |
| davidk | and KDE4 crashes quite reliably on it | 17:24 |
| bioterror | I wonder how you have patience to load KDE4 with that laptop | 17:24 |
| davidk | takes just 3 or 4 minutes | 17:24 |
| davidk | big advantage: I don't have to use it | 17:25 |
| davidk | but really, the slow processor is not so much an issue as you may think, KDE4 is mostly IO-limited on more recent computers | 17:25 |
| davidk | (and I do not use KDE on my own computers either, my god is this crap slow) | 17:26 |
| Lman | thanks for everyones help | 17:29 |
| Lman | i'm gonna just keep plugging away | 17:29 |
| killsurfcity | My install went fine, but of course, i need firmware for wireless to work. No idea where to get it. Anyone know? | 17:36 |
| bioterror | sounds like ndiswrapper | 17:37 |
| bioterror | !ndiswrapper | 17:37 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:37 |
| killsurfcity | thx ubottu, will check that out. | 17:40 |
| Lman | ugh | 17:43 |
| Lman | this has to be simpler in regular ubuntu | 17:44 |
| bioterror | Lman, what you want to do? | 17:44 |
| Lman | this is a true nightmare in lubuntu,,,,,, i can see the network and browse the network but no one can browse my machine | 17:44 |
| bioterror | Lman, you want people on your lan to access without user permissions certain folders? | 17:45 |
| Lman | yea, the network sees the dell, although when i double click on it windows says can't find computer or device name | 17:45 |
| bioterror | okay | 17:45 |
| bioterror | grab my smb.conf | 17:46 |
| bioterror | http://ricecows.org/smb.conf | 17:46 |
| Lman | i can browse it locally through the network though lol | 17:46 |
| bioterror | change workgroup to yours | 17:46 |
| bioterror | and at the bottom of the config file, change settings to match your shares | 17:46 |
| Lman | ok | 17:46 |
| Lman | i was looking to share my home directory,,, should i just stick to a folder for now? | 17:47 |
| bioterror | you might on ubuntu uncomment the "force group" | 17:47 |
| bioterror | you get the picture from the config ;) | 17:47 |
| Lman | k in a minute, at working fixing windows garbage | 17:47 |
| bioterror | after you have grabbed that to your /etc/samba/ and edited, sudo service samba restart | 17:48 |
| bioterror | or was it "sudo restart samba" :D | 17:48 |
| bioterror | like someone guided me | 17:48 |
| bioterror | I would still do it from the init.d if it was me! ;D | 17:48 |
| Lman | i am going to try and share just a folder and not the whole home directory | 17:49 |
| bioterror | you can share easily your whole home with my config :D | 17:49 |
| Lman | home has special rules | 17:49 |
| Lman | which i tried and still didn't work lol | 17:50 |
| Lman | bioterror anything special to share entire home directory? | 17:52 |
| holstein | Lman: try the GUI gigolo | 17:53 |
| holstein | Lman: lubuntu *is* ubuntu | 17:53 |
| bioterror | well, I just spoon feed him | 17:53 |
| Lman | lol | 17:53 |
| Lman | i was using the samba config tool | 17:53 |
| Lman | is that no good? | 17:54 |
| holstein | its the same tool as in ubuntu | 17:55 |
| holstein | Lman: its good if it works for you.. | 17:55 |
| holstein | Lman: i would do what bioterror suggests | 17:55 |
| holstein | actually, i personally just dont use samba.. but if i wanted to use samba, i would follow bioterror 's guide | 17:55 |
| Lman | i didn't know how else to do it besides samba | 17:57 |
| bioterror | samba is best when you play with Windows | 17:57 |
| bioterror | then comes NFS, which is a lot more complicated | 17:58 |
| Lman | wow bioterror you have a lot of network shares | 17:58 |
| Lman | so get rid of them all except for my share ,,, correct | 17:58 |
| holstein | i often use the GUI gigolo though... i find it easy and quick | 17:59 |
| holstein | !info gigolo | 17:59 |
| ubottu | gigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-3 (precise), package size 140 kB, installed size 856 kB | 17:59 |
| bioterror | I just wget my config ;) | 17:59 |
| bioterror | I have done it once, I dont have to invent wheel again | 17:59 |
| Lman | right,,,, what the @ names above each share config section | 18:00 |
| bioterror | tells me which mount point I'm using | 18:00 |
| Lman | oh ,,,, crap how do i figure that out for me>? | 18:01 |
| bioterror | just put what you want | 18:01 |
| Lman | ok | 18:02 |
| uofm49426 | question i only had a rw 650 mb cd so i installed 10.04 and slowly upgrading to 12.04 | 18:02 |
| uofm49426 | upgrading to 11.04 can i skip upgrading to 11.10 | 18:03 |
| Lman | if i want the entire home directory browseable to i have to change anything else? | 18:03 |
| Lman | i see a setting a bit up from the individul settings | 18:04 |
| bioterror | Lman, you just edit: path = /home/lman/ | 18:04 |
| Lman | for now i'll just try a normal directory | 18:04 |
| Lman | ok, giving it a shot | 18:04 |
| Lman | if you browse up to just under the share definitions it does have something specific about the home directory ,,, so i wasn't sure | 18:05 |
| uofm49426 | and upgrade from lts to next lts without upgrading to regular release | 18:06 |
| Lman | with the force user and force group option what do i change that too so everyone can browse? | 18:06 |
| bioterror | Lman, replace sad157 with your username | 18:07 |
| bioterror | ofkooz | 18:07 |
| bioterror | uofm49426, I would have used mini.iso for example and installed 12.04 directly from that 10MB iso file ,) | 18:07 |
| Lman | gotcha figured, wasn't sure if it was asking about my username or theusernames of ones you want to share with | 18:08 |
| Lman | rebooting and trying,,,, yea i know couldhave did a samba restart | 18:08 |
| Lman | lol | 18:08 |
| bioterror | Lman, rebooting? | 18:08 |
| bioterror | what? | 18:08 |
| bioterror | sudo service samba restart | 18:08 |
| bioterror | and it will reload the configs | 18:08 |
| bioterror | what's wrong with you kids nowdays? always rebooting | 18:09 |
| Lman | lol | 18:09 |
| bioterror | you need to reboot only when kernel updates comes | 18:09 |
| Lman | i'm at work so trying to get done in between | 18:09 |
| Lman | nope no go | 18:09 |
| bioterror | what go? | 18:09 |
| Lman | can't browse machine on the network | 18:10 |
| Lman | can see and browse everyone elese | 18:10 |
| Lman | windows says can't find computer or device name | 18:10 |
| bioterror | lemme see | 18:11 |
| bioterror | turn on network discovery and file sharing... | 18:11 |
| Lman | in lubuntu? | 18:12 |
| bioterror | I'm tweaking my Windows 7 | 18:12 |
| bioterror | seems like I had to: \\computername\ | 18:15 |
| bioterror | why windows cant see these :P | 18:15 |
| bioterror | and I accessed home directory without a problem | 18:15 |
| Lman | dfsdfsfdaF | 18:20 |
| Lman | ugh | 18:20 |
| Lman | why is it no matter what i name my shjare the network always sees it as some dell-dell name | 18:21 |
| Lman | then says it can't find it | 18:21 |
| Lman | yet it appears on the network | 18:21 |
| Lman | looks the same on my linux box too yet i can access it from there | 18:21 |
| acalbaza | just got done installing lubuntu under vmware, any way to get screen resolution to play nice? i keep getting bumped back to 800x600 after restarts | 22:13 |
| wxl | yes acalbaza ! yes vbox! ;) | 22:13 |
| wxl | seriosuly i have no such problems. perhaps you should check the guest settings. | 22:14 |
| acalbaza | actually, i installed on vbox... cant get dual monitors to work properly under a win7 host! | 22:14 |
| acalbaza | i get dual monitors, but my desktop wont expand | 22:15 |
| acalbaza | resolution works fine in vbox though ;) | 22:15 |
| wxl | well ok yeah haven't had that problem either-- no need to XD | 22:15 |
| acalbaza | ya, my desktop is just replicated on the other mointor | 22:16 |
| wxl | brb | 22:17 |
| wxl | there | 22:17 |
| acalbaza | installing vmware tools again... | 22:18 |
| wxl | a cursory googling reveals you should remove/install xserver-xorg-video-vmware and reboot acalbaza | 22:19 |
| AlexGer | Hiya! | 22:21 |
| AlexGer | i've got some questions about the instalation of lubuntu mininal iso 10.04 running as a PV guest on a XCP1.0 server | 22:24 |
| wxl | nothing specific AlexGer ? ;) | 22:25 |
| AlexGer | kindo | 22:25 |
| AlexGer | :-) | 22:25 |
| AlexGer | 1st. It only shows the console | 22:26 |
| AlexGer | i did add the ppa | 22:27 |
| wxl | Unit193: ;) | 22:27 |
| Unit193 | mini.iso? You'll need to "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" or "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core" | 22:28 |
| acalbaza | vmware tools re-install wins | 22:33 |
| AlexGer | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall -> 10.04 (32 and 64 Bit) | 22:34 |
| AlexGer | thats what i did | 22:34 |
| AlexGer | 2.6.32-41-generic-pae | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | And that dumps you into a terminal? No errors though? If so, type startlubuntu | 22:35 |
| AlexGer | It sais Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS | 22:36 |
| AlexGer | mom | 22:36 |
| AlexGer | nothing | 22:37 |
| AlexGer | brb | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | You did login first, right? It'll ask for username then password. | 22:37 |
| acalbaza | anything better than gnome-do? | 22:38 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: likes dmenu. | 22:40 |

| AlexGer | mom search with apt cache | 23:08 |
| AlexGer | ahh stupid w504v router... When i delete a known device (IP+HWaddr) it deletes also non related portforwardings... | 23:15 |
| davidk | AlexGer: what firmware? | 23:25 |
| AlexGer | updated it today from 14 to 15 | 23:25 |
| AlexGer | luckyly read about a new firmware fixing a WDS leak -: | 23:26 |
| AlexGer | I thought my problems might be gone with the fw-upgrade... | 23:27 |
| davidk | hmm, I thought that might be one of the models capable of alternative firmware, but that was the w503v, not 504 | 23:27 |
| AlexGer | hmm, too bad, thanks! | 23:28 |
| AlexGer | was looking for some tools earlyer.. :-) | 23:29 |
| AlexGer | i thought of edeting the bin file... | 23:29 |
| AlexGer | never done that befoure | 23:30 |
| AlexGer | -u | 23:30 |
| davidk | bin file? | 23:30 |
| AlexGer | config file | 23:30 |
| AlexGer | exported settings - I think it includes the fw too | 23:31 |
| davidk | what size is it? | 23:32 |
| AlexGer | mom | 23:32 |
| AlexGer | find / -name 'startlubuntu' -> /usr/bin/startlubuntu | 23:33 |
| davidk | no lubuntu running here | 23:33 |

| AlexGer | i also have the exported settings file from the last fw: Speedport_W_504V1.14.000_21.05.12_2156.bin ->29kb | 23:37 |
| AlexGer | what about /usr/bin/startx ? | 23:38 |
| AlexGer | or netbook | 23:38 |
| AlexGer | wow | 23:39 |
| AlexGer | Fatal server error: | 23:40 |
| AlexGer | no screens found | 23:40 |
| davidk | sounds like it is only settings then ;) | 23:42 |
| AlexGer | I can paste the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for more infos | 23:43 |
| davidk | but sounds suspiciously similar to the files the Austrian speedtouch "modems" used that could be patched to be full routers | 23:43 |
| davidk | do that, after I read it I can tell you its a driver issue and go to sleep | 23:44 |
| AlexGer | http://pastebin.com/tWXSvLL4 | 23:58 |
