| ineuw | GridCube, the old listings of grub are all there. what happens if I delete the contents of the grub.cfg and the run sudo update-grub? | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | i don't know, if i have to bet, ill say it regenerates, but in any case to test it i would rename it instead of deteling the contents | 00:25 |
| GridCube | so if things go wrong you can simply restore it | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | Could try to dpkg -l |grep linux-image | 00:26 |

| kati_hathor | can anyone help me figure out why adding my dual monitor script to application autostart won't launch? it has executable permissions and the script works fine from the xterminal | 07:28 |
| kati_hathor | http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2011/12/add-application-to-xfcexubuntu-session.html | 07:29 |
| laite | kati_hathor: have you tried if script is actually run, e.g. adding 'touch ~/script_is_run' or something similar to it | 07:29 |
| kati_hathor | no but i can try that | 07:30 |
| laite | if it's run, you could try adding 'sleep 10' before applying any commands, so xfce would have loaded necessary configs for it | 07:30 |
| laite | where '10' is time in secods to wait before running | 07:30 |
| laite | *continuing script | 07:30 |
| kati_hathor | yeah the script is actually running, i will try the sleep, good idea | 07:32 |
| kati_hathor | cool i did 'sleep 2' and that fixed it, thanks laite | 07:34 |
| laite | np :) | 07:35 |
| kati_hathor | seems the "fuzzy time" from the datetime widget disappeared from 11.10 to 12.04 | 07:35 |

| nikolaj_basher | I need to write my password everytime I open my mail client after reboot | 12:07 |
| astraljava | nikolaj_basher: What mail client do you use? That's application-specific, nothing to do with Xubuntu per se. | 12:43 |
| hex__ | how do you move your panel in xfce? | 12:50 |

| martinphone | what is x86? I was used to x64 (my option if I run xubuntu64bits) and x32, but x86? | 14:44 |
| genii-around | x86 is like 80386, 80486, Pentium, etc and compatible chips which are 32bit instruction set their number sequences end in 86. | 14:48 |
| genii-around | It's like how the 64bit was called AMD64 | 14:49 |

| Supanoobie | hello | 16:12 |
| Supanoobie | I have a login issue with my Xubuntu account. Can anyone help a novice? | 16:15 |
| hobgoblin | can try :) | 16:15 |
| hobgoblin | Supanoobie: please give us the details and then someone will look | 16:16 |
| Supanoobie | ok | 16:23 |
| Supanoobie | some time ago when I logged into my encrypted account as usual | 16:23 |
| Supanoobie | the screen turned black and bounced back to the login screen | 16:23 |
| Supanoobie | without showing any error message | 16:23 |
| Supanoobie | the password was correct | 16:23 |
| GridCube | yep that sometimes happen | 16:24 |
| Supanoobie | I did search around the forums for some ideas | 16:25 |
| Supanoobie | did a fresh reinstallation with the latest 12.04 | 16:26 |
| Supanoobie | didn't help | 16:26 |
| Supanoobie | but | 16:26 |
| Supanoobie | the guest account works well | 16:26 |
| GridCube | no, its easy to fix | 16:28 |
| GridCube | :) | 16:28 |
| GridCube | log in using a tty and delete .Xautorithy | 16:28 |
| GridCube | then try again | 16:28 |
| Supanoobie | what does deleting this file do or mean? | 16:29 |
| mtrg | after upgrading to latest xubuntu release, i get X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) whenever i run xlock | 16:31 |
| GridCube | Supanoobie, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_authorization | 16:31 |
| mtrg | http://codepad.org/hvtV7LMM | 16:32 |
| Supanoobie | I'll give it a try first | 16:34 |
| Supanoobie | thank you guys :D | 16:34 |
| GridCube | Supanoobie, the file just get regenerated once you relogin | 16:34 |
| Supanoobie | so essentially it's a method to refresh that file? | 16:35 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 16:35 |
| GridCube | that works for me | 16:35 |
| GridCube | i generally have this error after i mess around with xorg | 16:35 |
| Supanoobie | alright, I'll give this a try and see | 16:36 |

| lduros | hi, i'm installing xubuntu-desktop on my parents laptop (remotely through ssh) | 17:57 |
| lduros | on an existing ubuntu. My question is, how can I set lightdm to the xubuntu session from ssh? | 17:57 |
| lduros | anybody knows how to do this? Many thanks | 17:57 |
| lduros | shall I do sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s xubuntu | 18:01 |
| lduros | I can't really fail because then they'll be stuck :-\ | 18:01 |
| lduros | haha | 18:01 |
| hobgoblin | lduros: last time I was playing with that - it made no difference - lightdm will boot the last session - so better to logout and then login to xubuntu | 18:02 |
| lduros | hobgoblin: yeh but they don't know how to log in with xubuntu | 18:02 |
| lduros | haha | 18:02 |
| hobgoblin | whether you can do that from ssh or not I don't know | 18:02 |
| lduros | i guess i could tell them where to click | 18:02 |
| lduros | but usually I just do stuff directly on ssh | 18:02 |
| lduros | :-) | 18:02 |
| lduros | it's less of a headache | 18:02 |
| lduros | haha | 18:02 |
| lduros | hobgoblin: ok, thanks :-) | 18:03 |
| hobgoblin | lduros: you can add an interesting perspective to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013129 | 18:03 |

| hobgoblin | if you wish of course :) | 18:03 |
| lduros | ah | 18:03 |
| lduros | ok thanks | 18:03 |
| hobgoblin | lduros: it might be there is a way to do it - I fought it for a couple of days - see if someone else pitches in | 18:13 |
| lduros | hobgoblin: i'm tring through lightdm.conf | 18:13 |
| lduros | we'll see what happens :-) | 18:13 |
| hobgoblin | if you win - tell me how :) | 18:13 |
| lduros | hobgoblin: ok sounds good | 18:14 |
| lduros | i'll attempt a reboot there now | 18:14 |
| lduros | :-) | 18:14 |
| lduros | does xubuntu have the same startup stuff than ubuntu-2d by default? | 18:15 |
| lduros | startup applications? | 18:15 |
| lduros | maybe i'll have to set this up manually as well | 18:15 |
| hobgoblin | I have no idea what ubuntu boots with anymore | 18:15 |
| lduros | is there a way to tell if it's xfce/xubuntu running or unity just from the shell? | 18:16 |
| lduros | :-) | 18:16 |
| lduros | maybe from ps aux or something hmmm | 18:17 |
| hobgoblin | echo $DESKTOP_SESSION | 18:18 |

| hobgoblin | maybe | 18:18 |
| lduros | ah ok cool thanks | 18:18 |
| daz101 | I just installed gnome over xubuntu and cant boot into either now any help? | 18:18 |
| lduros | hmm it doesn't show anything | 18:18 |
| hobgoblin | lduros: perhaps it's cos you are ssh - I don't know I'm afraid | 18:19 |

| f3e_ | Good evening. | 20:26 |
| f3e | Is there any way to remove the overlay during login? | 20:27 |
| f3e | so it will show what's actually going on during the login process | 20:28 |
| f3e | It's taking ages to login so i'd like to take a look what's going on. | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | /etc/default/grub and you need to comment out the quiet splash and update grub, unless you only want it for once. | 20:29 |
| f3e | Unit193, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ? | 20:31 |
| f3e | Unit193, and how do you mean update grub? | 20:34 |
| f3e | like Sudo apt-get update grub? | 20:34 |
| pleia2 | sudo update-grub | 20:34 |
| pleia2 | it's a command | 20:35 |
| f3e | Thanks. | 20:35 |
| Unit193 | Awwwh, I had that one! | 20:35 |
| f3e | Though it didn't do what i exactly wanted it to do, for some reason it logged in a lot faster... | 20:39 |
| f3e | I don't see any sence in this >.< | 20:39 |
| === superdave321 is now known as rinzler | ||
| f3e | So the slow login thing is some sort of bug | 21:15 |
| f3e | It's nothing about the applications that starts up | 21:15 |
| f3e | And the bug seems to occur only on the 64-bit version. | 21:15 |
| f3e | What's even more strange is that it doesn't occur on every start up, but most times. | 21:16 |
| f3e | 2 out of 3 logins are slow. With no changes applied. | 21:17 |
