|---|---|---|
| Barnabas | click the keybord icon | 00:02 |
| Barnabas | select the keyboard layout you prefer | 00:03 |
| David-A | nkei0: you can also select locale before you login | 00:05 |
| douglas | My dvd player reads DVDs and mounts if they have data on them but I can't get any of my burning software to acknowledge a blank dvd.. Any suggestions? | 00:05 |
| David-A | nkei0: (oh autologin) un-auto an select, then auto again, should be remembered between logins | 00:06 |
| nkei0 | David-A, That doesn't work, tried it already. | 00:16 |
| David-A | ok, barnabas' advice should work for keyboard, if you want change default locale (encoding, date formats, etc), try edit /etc/default/locale | 00:24 |
| nkei0 | gonna try rebooting, brb | 00:26 |
| nkei0 | David-A, Thanks, that worked! | 00:33 |

| xubuntu031 | who can tell me default root password of xubuntu 12.04 pls ? | 00:34 |
| holstein | xubuntu031: on the live CD? | 00:34 |
| xubuntu031 | no | 00:34 |
| holstein | i thought it was blank | 00:34 |
| holstein | xubuntu031: theres no root account.. you "sudo" | 00:35 |
| xubuntu031 | i install it on my HP-Mini with my new user | 00:35 |
| holstein | if you'd like a root shell, you can do in a terminal sudo -s | 00:35 |
| holstein | you'll use your user pass | 00:35 |
| holstein | !sudo | 00:35 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 00:35 |
| xubuntu031 | ok thanks | 00:35 |
| xubuntu051 | how to disable sudo in xubuntu 12.04 ? | 01:04 |
| GridCube | disable sudo? | 01:06 |
| xubuntu051 | yep | 01:06 |
| GridCube | make a new user and dont add him to the sudoers list | 01:06 |
| xubuntu051 | :| | 01:07 |
| xubuntu051 | so how with current user ? | 01:07 |
| GridCube | make a root account and take yourself from the sudoers | 01:07 |
| GridCube | you cant just take yourself from the sudoers, theres not root account | 01:07 |
| xubuntu051 | %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL << DONE :x | 01:12 |
| Unit193 | GridCube: Remove the group would be better. | 01:14 |
| GridCube | mmm but if he doesnt create a sudoer then the system can not be administrated= | 01:16 |
| GridCube | ? | 01:16 |
| Unit193 | The concept is the same. | 01:19 |
| nkei0 | Hola. I can't seem to get autologin to work in 12.04. I've already edited my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to look like it says on the FAQ page. | 01:31 |
| Unit193 | Is this a upgraded Xubuntu? | 01:32 |
| nkei0 | I've also unchecked the box to ask for a password on login under the users and groups settings. Nothing happens when it tries to login that I can see. Just fails. Have to login as a guest and then change back to asking for a password to login. | 01:32 |
| nkei0 | fresh | 01:32 |
| nkei0 | well fresh, with all updates applied. | 01:32 |
| nkei0 | any ideas? | 01:36 |
| Unit193 | Well I know the info on the FAQ work, I've set them and tried it. | 01:37 |
| GridCube | i use that settings | 01:37 |
| nkei0 | Is there something I'm forgetting? | 01:37 |
| GridCube | and they work | 01:37 |
| Unit193 | Only think I can think is rebooting, but I'm sure you did. :P | 01:37 |
| GridCube | can we see your lightdm.conf= | 01:38 |
| GridCube | ? | 01:38 |
| nkei0 | Something outside of those, maybe? Also, I never "log off" always reboot | 01:38 |
| nkei0 | want me to pastebin it? | 01:38 |
| GridCube | yep | 01:38 |
| Unit193 | Yep./ | 01:38 |
| nkei0 | http://pastebin.com/UmYdNvMB | 01:40 |
| nkei0 | I've tried it with the autologin stuff at the top and then the way that it is now to no avail | 01:41 |
| nkei0 | Do you think I should capitalize the J in justin? That shouldn't be an issue, when i'm in terminal it shows up as just "justin" | 01:42 |
| GridCube | no it should be like you use it | 01:43 |
| nkei0 | I have no idea how to use dmesg, do you think it might tell me what's going on? | 01:44 |
| Unit193 | dmesg is the kernel ring buffer, tells you nice logs of what's going on. | 01:45 |
| nkei0 | so it would work? | 01:46 |
| GridCube | mmm, try this, go to your home folder, press ctrl-h and look for .ICEauthority and .Xdefaults and delete them, when i have problems with logins doing that always helps | 01:46 |
| nkei0 | omg this laptop is so slow :( | 01:46 |
| nkei0 | They don't exist. | 01:47 |
| GridCube | press ctrl-h | 01:48 |
| GridCube | they are hidden | 01:48 |
| nkei0 | Yep. Don't exist. | 01:48 |
| GridCube | D: | 01:48 |
| GridCube | do a ls -a .I* .X* on a terminal | 01:49 |
| nkei0 | no such | 01:49 |
| GridCube | O: | 01:51 |
| GridCube | i dont understand | 01:51 |
| nkei0 | saw something on dmesg | 01:51 |
| nkei0 | don't know but it might affect it, let me pastebin | 01:51 |
| nkei0 | http://pastebin.com/PHU2qEgB | 01:52 |
| nkei0 | What happened was I set the User settings to not ask for a password on login under my username. I edited the .conf file. I rebooted. Didn't log in, so I had to login as a guest and change to ask for a password to be able to login. | 01:53 |
| Unit193 | GridCube: Could kill .cache/ :P | 01:53 |
| nkei0 | I've used autologin before. I just don't know how. | 01:55 |
| nkei0 | The problem was that my locale was being dumb and I couldn't figure out how to change it so I had to manually log in every time to set my locale. (since fixed) So now I want to auto again. | 01:55 |
| nkei0 | Is there somewhere I need to put my password in anywhere or anything silly I'm missing? | 02:02 |
| nkei0 | omfg this is annoying. | 02:07 |
| nkei0 | brb attempting to autologin | 02:21 |
| nkei0 | no luck :( did you guys find anything on my autologin issue? | 02:39 |

| koegs | hey there, i just upgraded one pc from 11.10 to 12.04 and window-tiling does not work, any hint what to check? | 08:20 |
| koegs | oh, i still need to install xfce 4.10 :D | 08:22 |
| Wazhai | hi | 08:38 |
| Wazhai | could someone help me? | 08:38 |
| Mathsterk | Wazhai: yup | 08:40 |
| Wazhai | thanks | 08:40 |
| Wazhai | i have a problem with thunar | 08:40 |
| Wazhai | on two different computers | 08:40 |
| Unit193 | Care to share? | 08:40 |
| Wazhai | so | 08:40 |
| Wazhai | one is a virtual pc and this one is xubuntu installed | 08:41 |
| Wazhai | the other one has mint 13 xfce edition and this one has ubuntu | 08:41 |
| Wazhai | and i can't copy files or folders in some cases | 08:41 |
| Wazhai | in most actually | 08:41 |
| Wazhai | if i try to copy a file from within my home folder | 08:42 |
| Wazhai | to somewhere outside it | 08:42 |
| Wazhai | i can't | 08:42 |
| Wazhai | the paste button is grayed out | 08:42 |
| Mathsterk | do you got rights to edit that folder? | 08:43 |
| Wazhai | i'm not sure | 08:43 |
| Wazhai | but i'm an admin user | 08:43 |
| Wazhai | actually i can copy just fine from other places to my home folder and its subfolders | 08:44 |
| koegs | most likely you are not allowed to write files in that folder | 08:45 |
| Wazhai | why not? | 08:46 |
| Wazhai | i'm trying to put a theme in usr/shared/themes | 08:46 |
| koegs | yes, you are not allowed to write there :) | 08:46 |
| Wazhai | is it possible to do at all? | 08:47 |
| Mathsterk | yes | 08:47 |
| koegs | either in a terminal with "sudo cp -r ..." or you start thunar as root with gksu (personally i would not recommend that) | 08:47 |
| koegs | OR you just put it in ~/.themes :) | 08:48 |
| Mathsterk | starting thunar as root is a bad idea :P (you can i.e delete an important file in an accident or something) | 08:48 |
| Wazhai | i'm not that stupid to do that | 08:48 |
| Wazhai | i actually want to put a theme there | 08:48 |
| Wazhai | because | 08:48 |
| koegs | /usr/share/themes is used to make the them available to all users | 08:48 |
| koegs | if you just want to have it on your own, just use ~/.themes | 08:49 |
| Wazhai | ok | 08:49 |
| Wazhai | thanks | 08:49 |
| Wazhai | do i start a root thunar with sudo thunar? | 08:50 |
| Mathsterk | Wazhai: yes, but i reccomend you use "sudo cp -r file_or_folder" | 08:51 |
| Wazhai | what is the difference? | 08:52 |
| Wazhai | cp = copy? | 08:52 |
| Wazhai | oh i get it | 08:52 |
| Mathsterk | yup | 08:52 |
| Wazhai | instead of opening it i just copy what i need | 08:52 |
| Mathsterk | yup | 08:52 |

| xubuntu465 | hello | 14:45 |
| xubuntu465 | i am student pursuing mtech in india | 14:45 |
| xubuntu465 | i have lenovo g570 64 bit dual core laptop | 14:46 |
| xubuntu465 | and ubuntu 12.04lts installed on it | 14:46 |
| xubuntu465 | it hangs frequently | 14:46 |
| xubuntu465 | can anybody suggest some other linux version? | 14:47 |
| bazhang | !lubuntu | xubuntu465 | 14:47 |
| ubottu | xubuntu465: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 14:47 |
| holstein | xubuntu465: i would try a different kernel.. i would check for and apply all updates.. i would also look at the graphics driver, though i would think that would have an intel GPU | 14:48 |
| xubuntu465 | gpu is intel one | 14:51 |
| xubuntu465 | my need is basicaaly shell commands and coding in c language | 14:51 |
| koegs | i would suggest xubuntu instead of ubuntu :) | 14:52 |
| holstein | xubuntu465: you are using xubuntu 12.04? | 14:53 |
| xubuntu465 | no,thats just my name on this chat | 14:53 |
| xubuntu465 | my name is Apoorve | 14:53 |
| xubuntu465 | xubuntu which version? | 14:53 |
| koegs | xubuntu465: so you are not even using xubuntu and asking for a different linux distro in the Xubuntu Support Channel? :D | 14:54 |
| xubuntu465 | but, what else is the solution then, ubuntu 12,04lts hangs up in this hardware config | 14:55 |
| xubuntu465 | i know less about kernel compatibility with this hardware config | 14:55 |
| holstein | xubuntu465: this is the support channel for xubuntu.. if you are running ubuntu, we need to get you there | 14:56 |
| xubuntu465 | ok,never mind | 14:56 |
| holstein | xubuntu465: i typically suggest trying live CD's.. you can boot those up and not change your current setup.. this allows you to troubleshoot with different kernel versions easily | 14:56 |
| holstein | you can also try and see what triggers the hang... and check for and apply all updates in the update manager or where ever else you are comfortable doing that | 14:57 |
| xubuntu465 | thats nice of you holstein | 14:58 |
| xubuntu465 | i will make iso copy of xubuntu and boot from cd | 14:58 |
| xubuntu465 | thank you holstein and everybody else for consideration | 14:59 |
| holstein | sure.. enjoy xubuntu465 ! | 14:59 |

| GeekAdmin | Hi. I tried installing Xubuntu on an old gateway laptop, but when I try and load the disc, it freezes when loading up. (The little bar that moves freezes). I then tried installing the alternate copy. It installed just fine, but when I try and load it for the first time, it does the same thing. (Freezes when loading up). Any way around this? | 20:26 |
| GeekAdmin | I' | 20:26 |
| GeekAdmin | I decided to use "gnome-classic with no effects", which is working fine, but is very slow. Would xfce be signifigantly faster than gnome classic with no effects? | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | What are the system specs? You should remove the boot option of "quiet splash" | 20:29 |
| GeekAdmin | its 480 megs of RAM and 1.4 ghz processor. Old gateway laptop | 20:31 |
| GeekAdmin | Unit193: how do I remove the option of quiet splash? | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | Yikes. Hold left shift while booting, and when the grub menu pops up, hit e | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | !boot | 20:32 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 20:32 |
