[00:01] main menu->settings->settings manager [00:02] click the keybord icon [00:03] select the keyboard layout you prefer [00:05] nkei0: you can also select locale before you login [00:05] 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] nkei0: (oh autologin) un-auto an select, then auto again, should be remembered between logins [00:16] David-A, That doesn't work, tried it already. [00:24] ok, barnabas' advice should work for keyboard, if you want change default locale (encoding, date formats, etc), try edit /etc/default/locale [00:26] gonna try rebooting, brb [00:33] David-A, Thanks, that worked! [00:34] And now, I go to sleep. [00:34] who can tell me default root password of xubuntu 12.04 pls ? [00:34] xubuntu031: on the live CD? [00:34] no [00:34] i thought it was blank [00:35] xubuntu031: theres no root account.. you "sudo" [00:35] i install it on my HP-Mini with my new user [00:35] if you'd like a root shell, you can do in a terminal sudo -s [00:35] you'll use your user pass [00:35] !sudo [00:35] 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] ok thanks [01:04] how to disable sudo in xubuntu 12.04 ? [01:06] disable sudo? [01:06] yep [01:06] make a new user and dont add him to the sudoers list [01:07] :| [01:07] so how with current user ? [01:07] make a root account and take yourself from the sudoers [01:07] you cant just take yourself from the sudoers, theres not root account [01:12] %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL << DONE :x [01:14] GridCube: Remove the group would be better. [01:16] mmm but if he doesnt create a sudoer then the system can not be administrated= [01:16] ? [01:19] The concept is the same. [01:31] 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] Is this a upgraded Xubuntu? [01:32] 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] fresh [01:32] well fresh, with all updates applied. [01:36] any ideas? [01:37] Well I know the info on the FAQ work, I've set them and tried it. [01:37] i use that settings [01:37] Is there something I'm forgetting? [01:37] and they work [01:37] Only think I can think is rebooting, but I'm sure you did. :P [01:38] can we see your lightdm.conf= [01:38] ? [01:38] Something outside of those, maybe? Also, I never "log off" always reboot [01:38] want me to pastebin it? [01:38] yep [01:38] Yep./ [01:40] http://pastebin.com/UmYdNvMB [01:41] I've tried it with the autologin stuff at the top and then the way that it is now to no avail [01:42] 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] no it should be like you use it [01:44] I have no idea how to use dmesg, do you think it might tell me what's going on? [01:45] dmesg is the kernel ring buffer, tells you nice logs of what's going on. [01:46] so it would work? [01:46] 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] omg this laptop is so slow :( [01:47] They don't exist. [01:48] press ctrl-h [01:48] they are hidden [01:48] Yep. Don't exist. [01:48] D: [01:49] do a ls -a .I* .X* on a terminal [01:49] no such [01:51] O: [01:51] i dont understand [01:51] saw something on dmesg [01:51] don't know but it might affect it, let me pastebin [01:52] http://pastebin.com/PHU2qEgB [01:53] 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] GridCube: Could kill .cache/ :P [01:55] I've used autologin before. I just don't know how. [01:55] 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] Is there somewhere I need to put my password in anywhere or anything silly I'm missing? [02:07] omfg this is annoying. [02:21] brb attempting to autologin [02:39] no luck :( did you guys find anything on my autologin issue? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === mcdonc__ is now known as mcdonc [05:01] h [05:01] ello [05:24] and bye :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:20] 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] oh, i still need to install xfce 4.10 :D [08:38] hi [08:38] could someone help me? [08:40] Wazhai: yup [08:40] thanks [08:40] i have a problem with thunar [08:40] on two different computers [08:40] Care to share? [08:40] so [08:41] one is a virtual pc and this one is xubuntu installed [08:41] the other one has mint 13 xfce edition and this one has ubuntu [08:41] and i can't copy files or folders in some cases [08:41] in most actually [08:42] if i try to copy a file from within my home folder [08:42] to somewhere outside it [08:42] i can't [08:42] the paste button is grayed out [08:43] do you got rights to edit that folder? [08:43] i'm not sure [08:43] but i'm an admin user [08:44] actually i can copy just fine from other places to my home folder and its subfolders [08:45] most likely you are not allowed to write files in that folder [08:46] why not? [08:46] i'm trying to put a theme in usr/shared/themes [08:46] yes, you are not allowed to write there :) [08:47] is it possible to do at all? [08:47] yes [08:47] either in a terminal with "sudo cp -r ..." or you start thunar as root with gksu (personally i would not recommend that) [08:48] OR you just put it in ~/.themes :) [08:48] starting thunar as root is a bad idea :P (you can i.e delete an important file in an accident or something) [08:48] i'm not that stupid to do that [08:48] i actually want to put a theme there [08:48] because [08:48] /usr/share/themes is used to make the them available to all users [08:49] if you just want to have it on your own, just use ~/.themes [08:49] ok [08:49] thanks [08:50] do i start a root thunar with sudo thunar? [08:51] Wazhai: yes, but i reccomend you use "sudo cp -r file_or_folder" [08:52] what is the difference? [08:52] cp = copy? [08:52] oh i get it [08:52] yup [08:52] instead of opening it i just copy what i need [08:52] yup [09:52] hello [10:51] hello, can anyone help me out with my installation of xubuntu? [10:56] anyone?

[13:14] you probably have to change the language in the settings menu [13:14] main menu->settings->Language Support [13:15] i done it as first [13:15] but it dont work [13:16] maneus thunderbidr and chromium have in englis event when i have installed polish pacages with language to this app [13:18] 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] Guest34274, when you log in theres a language option on the screen that ask your user and password, have you changed that too?

[14:47] !lubuntu | xubuntu465 [14:47] 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. [14:48] 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] gpu is intel one [14:51] my need is basicaaly shell commands and coding in c language [14:52] i would suggest xubuntu instead of ubuntu :) [14:53] xubuntu465: you are using xubuntu 12.04? [14:53] no,thats just my name on this chat [14:53] my name is Apoorve [14:53] xubuntu which version? [14:54] xubuntu465: so you are not even using xubuntu and asking for a different linux distro in the Xubuntu Support Channel? :D [14:55] but, what else is the solution then, ubuntu 12,04lts hangs up in this hardware config [14:55] i know less about kernel compatibility with this hardware config [14:56] xubuntu465: this is the support channel for xubuntu.. if you are running ubuntu, we need to get you there [14:56] ok,never mind [14:56] 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] 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] thats nice of you holstein [14:58] i will make iso copy of xubuntu and boot from cd [14:59] thank you holstein and everybody else for consideration [14:59] sure.. enjoy xubuntu465 !

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] I' [20:26] 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] What are the system specs? You should remove the boot option of "quiet splash" [20:31] its 480 megs of RAM and 1.4 ghz processor. Old gateway laptop [20:32] Unit193: how do I remove the option of quiet splash? [20:32] Yikes. Hold left shift while booting, and when the grub menu pops up, hit e [20:32] !boot [20:32] 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 [20:36] thanks [20:36] Unit193: I will try that === fran is now known as Guest48524 [21:09] chales [21:39] 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? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:18] Xubuntu on Gericom Silver Seraph, is it possible ?
