[00:01] <Barnabas> main menu->settings->settings manager
[00:02] <Barnabas> click the keybord icon
[00:03] <Barnabas> select the keyboard layout you prefer
[00:05] <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?
[00:06] <David-A> nkei0: (oh autologin) un-auto an select, then auto again, should be remembered between logins
[00:16] <nkei0> David-A, That doesn't work, tried it already.
[00:24] <David-A> ok, barnabas' advice should work for keyboard, if you want change default locale (encoding, date formats, etc), try edit /etc/default/locale
[00:26] <nkei0> gonna try rebooting, brb
[00:33] <nkei0> David-A, Thanks, that worked!
[00:34] <nkei0> And now, I go to sleep.
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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] <xubuntu031> ok thanks
[01:04] <xubuntu051> how to disable sudo in xubuntu 12.04 ?
[01:06] <GridCube> disable sudo?
[01:06] <xubuntu051> yep
[01:06] <GridCube> make a new user and dont add him to the sudoers list
[01:07] <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
[01:12] <xubuntu051> %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL << DONE :x
[01:14] <Unit193> GridCube: Remove the group would be better.
[01:16] <GridCube> mmm but if he doesnt create a sudoer then the system can not be administrated=
[01:16] <GridCube> ?
[01:19] <Unit193> The concept is the same.
[01:31] <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.
[01:32] <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.
[01:36] <nkei0> any ideas?
[01:37] <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
[01:38] <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./
[01:40] <nkei0> http://pastebin.com/UmYdNvMB
[01:41] <nkei0> I've tried it with the autologin stuff at the top and then the way that it is now to no avail
[01:42] <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"
[01:43] <GridCube> no it should be like you use it
[01:44] <nkei0> I have no idea how to use dmesg, do you think it might tell me what's going on?
[01:45] <Unit193> dmesg is the kernel ring buffer, tells you nice logs of what's going on.
[01:46] <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 :(
[01:47] <nkei0> They don't exist.
[01:48] <GridCube> press ctrl-h
[01:48] <GridCube> they are hidden
[01:48] <nkei0> Yep.  Don't exist.
[01:48] <GridCube> D:
[01:49] <GridCube> do a ls -a .I* .X* on a terminal
[01:49] <nkei0> no such
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <nkei0> http://pastebin.com/PHU2qEgB
[01:53] <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
[01:55] <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.
[02:02] <nkei0> Is there somewhere I need to put my password in anywhere or anything silly I'm missing?
[02:07] <nkei0> omfg this is annoying.
[02:21] <nkei0> brb attempting to autologin
[02:39] <nkei0> no luck :( did you guys find anything on my autologin issue?
[05:01] <xubuntu483> h
[05:01] <knome> ello
[05:24] <baizon> and bye :)
[08:20] <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?
[08:22] <koegs> oh, i still need to install xfce 4.10 :D
[08:38] <Wazhai> hi
[08:38] <Wazhai> could someone help me?
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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
[08:44] <Wazhai> actually i can copy just fine from other places to my home folder and its subfolders
[08:45] <koegs> most likely you are not allowed to write files in that folder
[08:46] <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 :)
[08:47] <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)
[08:48] <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
[08:49] <koegs> if you just want to have it on your own, just use ~/.themes
[08:49] <Wazhai> ok
[08:49] <Wazhai> thanks
[08:50] <Wazhai> do i start a root thunar with sudo thunar?
[08:51] <Mathsterk> Wazhai: yes, but i reccomend you use "sudo cp -r file_or_folder"
[08:52] <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
[09:52] <xubuntu724> hello

[13:13] <Guest34274> i made system-settings-language support and chanage language on polish but still dont work.. was restart system too
[13:13] <Guest34274> whats the problem of it?
[13:14] <Barnabas> you probably have to change the language in the settings menu
[13:14] <Barnabas> main menu->settings->Language Support
[13:15] <Guest34274> i done it as first
[13:15] <Guest34274> but it dont work
[13:16] <Guest34274> maneus thunderbidr and chromium have in englis event when i have installed polish pacages with language to this app
[13:18] <Guest34274> i Language support have polish as default and as second chinesse language but cant remove it... chines isnt mark as instaled lang but is there and i dont know why too
[13:18] <GridCube> Guest34274, when you log in theres a language option on the screen that ask your user and password, have you changed that too?
[13:19] <Guest34274> GridCube: yes... os ask about pass when i changed lang in "Language Support"

[14:12] <Guest34274> cu
[14:45] <xubuntu465> hello
[14:45] <xubuntu465> i am student pursuing mtech in india
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <xubuntu465> can anybody suggest some other linux version?
[14:47] <bazhang> !lubuntu | xubuntu465
[14:48] <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
[14:51] <xubuntu465> gpu is intel one
[14:51] <xubuntu465> my need is basicaaly shell commands and coding in c language
[14:52] <koegs> i would suggest xubuntu instead of ubuntu :)
[14:53] <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?
[14:54] <koegs> xubuntu465: so you are not even using xubuntu and asking for a different linux distro in the Xubuntu Support Channel? :D
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <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
[14:57] <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
[14:58] <xubuntu465> thats nice of you holstein
[14:58] <xubuntu465> i will make iso copy of xubuntu and boot from cd
[14:59] <xubuntu465> thank you holstein and everybody else for consideration
[14:59] <holstein> sure.. enjoy xubuntu465 !
[14:59] <xubuntu465> :)

[16:56] <livingdaylight> just installed xubuntu via alternate disc - very long process!
[16:57] <livingdaylight> maybe should ve gone via the live 'desktop' disc
[16:58] <livingdaylight> when using USC keep getting "debconf on xubuntu" dialog pop up. Is this an error in installation, or can that be remedied?
[17:18] <livingdaylight> is anyone here?
[18:22] <xubuntu495> salut tt le monde
[18:32] <tracex> hi guys
[18:34] <tracex> i have to delete an Ubunt Grub, someone can explain me how to do? Im a Newbie, using Linux since yesterday

[20:06] <livingdaylight> howdy
[20:26] <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?
[20:29] <Unit193> What are the system specs?  You should remove the boot option of "quiet splash"
[20:31] <GeekAdmin> its 480 megs of RAM and 1.4 ghz processor. Old gateway laptop
[20:32] <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
[20:36] <GeekAdmin> thanks
[20:36] <GeekAdmin> Unit193:  I will try that
[21:09] <xubuntu234> chales
[21:39] <xubuntu856> hey guys i got a quick question. im installin xubuntu on my laptop, the problem is i think it just stopped. its been on the installing system for about 2 hours, cd rom light isnt on and the hdd light isnt on either. any ideas?
