[00:17] <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?
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <Unit193> Could try to dpkg -l |grep linux-image
[03:18] <Unit193> !away > zz_Htbrdd
[07:28] <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
[07:29] <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
[07:30] <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
[07:32] <kati_hathor> yeah the script is actually running, i will try the sleep, good idea
[07:34] <kati_hathor> cool i did 'sleep 2' and that fixed it, thanks laite
[07:35] <laite> np :)
[07:35] <kati_hathor> seems the "fuzzy time" from the datetime widget disappeared from 11.10 to 12.04
[07:35] <kati_hathor> :)
[11:27] <Arpad2> hello
[11:28] <Arpad2> how to install .deb file manually?
[11:29] <hobgoblin> sudo dpkg -i name.deb
[11:29] <hobgoblin> but I prefer to use gdebi so it looks for dependencies if necessary
[11:30] <Arpad2> ok, thanks
[11:30] <Arpad2> trying to install skype 4
[11:37] <Arpad2> did with gdebi :)
[11:38] <hobgoblin> :)
[11:38] <Arpad2> thanks!
[11:38] <hobgoblin> welcome
[12:07] <nikolaj_basher> Hi :-) Is there some one who know why I can't pick open automatic the password when xubuntu start, in my password manager
[12:07] <nikolaj_basher> I need to write my password everytime I open my mail client after reboot
[12:43] <astraljava> nikolaj_basher: What mail client do you use? That's application-specific, nothing to do with Xubuntu per se.
[12:50] <hex__> how do you move your panel in xfce?
[12:52] <laite> hex__: unclick 'lock panel' in panel preferences and you can drag it
[12:52] <hex__> thank you
[12:52] <hex__> im new..it also seems like wobbly windows doesnt work heh.
[13:06] <nikolaj_basher> astraljava, I use evolution and I don't know the programs name for holding password, i gnome I think it's keyring
[14:44] <martinphone> what is x86? I was used to x64 (my option if I run xubuntu64bits) and x32, but x86?
[14:48] <genii-around> x86 is like 80386, 80486, Pentium, etc and compatible chips which are 32bit instruction set their number sequences end in 86.
[14:49] <genii-around> It's like how the 64bit was called AMD64
[15:47] <Marzata> big thanks to the design team for making the network and the system monitors the same height
[15:48] <Marzata> in 12.04
[16:12] <Supanoobie> hello
[16:15] <Supanoobie> I have a login issue with my Xubuntu account. Can anyone help a novice?
[16:15] <hobgoblin> can try :)
[16:16] <hobgoblin> Supanoobie: please give us the details and then someone will look
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <GridCube> yep that sometimes happen
[16:25] <Supanoobie> I did search around the forums for some ideas
[16:26] <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
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <Supanoobie> what does deleting this file do or mean?
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <mtrg> http://codepad.org/hvtV7LMM
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <Supanoobie> alright, I'll give this a try and see
[17:26] <daz101> hosed my system
[17:26] <daz101> anybody out there?
[17:27] <daz101> still got grub and can still boot windows
[17:27] <daz101> boot hangs part way thru
[17:57] <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
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <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
[18:13] <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 :)
[18:14] <lduros> hobgoblin: ok sounds good
[18:14] <lduros> i'll attempt a reboot there now
[18:14] <lduros> :-)
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <lduros> is there a way to tell if it's xfce/xubuntu running or unity just from the shell?
[18:16] <lduros> :-)
[18:17] <lduros> maybe from ps aux or something hmmm
[18:18] <hobgoblin> echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
[18:18] <lduros> maybe i'll try to do a screenshot
[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
[18:19] <hobgoblin> lduros: perhaps it's cos you are ssh - I don't know I'm afraid
[18:19] <lduros> hobgoblin: no prob :-)
[18:19] <lduros> thanks
[18:56] <astraljava> lduros: `ps -ef | grep xfce4`
[18:56] <astraljava> lduros: If you see xinitrc there, with a /bin/sh in front of it, you're running Xfce4 (unsurprisingly).
[18:58] <lduros> astraljava: col thanks
[18:59] <lduros> astraljava: all i see is this: /usr/lib/xfce4/xfconf/xfconfd
[18:59] <astraljava> lduros: Then you are running something else.
[19:46] <CellTech> How come my channel list. Won't let me connect to the android-root channel?
[19:47] <Unit193> Because you need to register with nickserv.
[19:47] <Unit193> !register
[19:47] <CellTech> Interesting
[19:48] <Unit193> The channel is blocking unidentified users (+r)
[19:49] <CellTech> Where do I do that at?
[19:50] <pleia2> CellTech: this is off-topic here, please follow the links above
[20:26] <f3e_> Good evening.
[20:27] <f3e> Is there any way to remove the overlay during login?
[20:28] <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.
[20:29] <Unit193> /etc/default/grub  and you need to comment out the quiet splash and update grub, unless you only want it for once.
[20:31] <f3e> Unit193, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ?
[20:34] <f3e> Unit193, and how do you mean update grub?
[20:34] <f3e> like Sudo apt-get update grub?
[20:34] <pleia2> sudo update-grub
[20:35] <pleia2> it's a command
[20:35] <f3e> Thanks.
[20:35] <Unit193> Awwwh, I had that one!
[20:39] <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 >.<
[21:15] <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.
[21:16] <f3e> What's even more strange is that it doesn't occur on every start up, but most times.
[21:17] <f3e> 2 out of 3 logins are slow. With no changes applied.
