darkxstjbicha, seems to be due to yet another ubuntu patch (userless gdm)00:00
darkxstbut should be able to fix it with another casper patch00:00
jbichaare you sure a Ubuntu patch is responsible? which patch?00:02
darkxstuser filtering patch in accountsservice00:03
darkxstapparently upstream dropped the user filtering sometime ago00:03
darkxsthowever we should be able to just edit login.defs00:03
darkxst/etc/login.defs00:03
darkxstI am trying to test it, but can't even get to gdm on the current live cd!00:05
jbichahaha, I blame you for that ;)00:06
jbichayou should be able to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf or you can manipulate stuff in dconf00:07
jbichasudo service restart gdm00:07
darkxstlol, yeh00:09
darkxstjbicha, did you try the plymouth theme?00:43
jbichahmm, I think I forgot to try your latest version00:45
jbichathis week was crazy, UIFE's from all directions & I'm trying to keep the docs team afloat00:45
darkxstah ok00:45
jbichapart of finishing the docs has meant that I'm mostly stuck with stock Unity for a few more days00:46
jbichawe should fix the virtualbox 3d driver problem, I think I'll just patch it in Ubuntu since it looks like it's been 2 weeks in Debian's bug tracker without a response02:04
jbichawe should backport that to precise too, right?02:05
darkxstjbicha, this was the response to my upstream bug report "Ubuntu 12.10 runs X.org 1.13 and this one is not yet supported by the VirtualBox Guest Additions. And that's the actual reason why the drm module does not load. "02:12
darkxstI only test them briefly, but if they are working ok, then we can patch it.02:13
darkxstits not required for precise though (I pretty sure precise liveCD's work as expected)02:13
jbichaI expect there are already a bunch of precise users trying out quantal from virtualbox02:16
jbichaor does that not matter, it's just the quantal environment that needs fixing?02:16
darkxstyeh its the guest drivers02:28
darkxstalthough does precise have the same virtualbox version?02:28
darkxsthmm, worth testing if the 4.1.18 (quantal) drivers work with a 4.1.12 (precise) virtual box host02:30
darkxstalthough I guess its not so critical now, with software rendering enabled02:30
darkxstanyway I gotta run02:32
darkxstI will look at doing another casper merge soon02:33
darkxstricotz, have you been using the new nautilus?11:25
darkxstif I right click on a file/folder, I do not get a properties option11:26
ricotzdarkxst, properties entry is available here12:08
darkxstjbicha, which option you think is best re logout/session switching?20:53
jbichawe can't mess with /etc/login.defs20:57
jbichathe original casper code had autologin enabled with a delay of 10, we should probably do that20:57
jbicha*timed login enabled20:58
jbichaand re-enable log out20:58
jbichaI guess you're right that gdm itself doesn't enforce the mininum 1000 uid21:01
jbichadoing that would still require a little bit of work on someone's part to log into GNOME Classic21:02
jbichathey'd have to know ubuntu is the user and just hit enter for the password21:03
darkxstjbicha, that (timed) login was to supposed to auto-login them back into the session21:27
darkxstalso timed login doesnt work with user id at 999 (unless change login.defs)21:28
jbicharight, so those that are confused will get back to a working live environment21:29
jbichaoh21:29
jbichawe could ask why the live user can't be uid 100021:30
darkxstwell that doesnt really matter, can just edit login.defs with casper, that bit is fine21:30
darkxstbut ask anyway I guess21:31
jbichano, we can't edit login.defs with casper without Ubuntu being cool with it21:36
jbichaI'll ask about it in #ubuntu-installer on Monday, unless you'd prefer to?21:37
darkxsteven if its a gdm only patch? no one else uses gdm right?21:40
jbichalogin.defs isn't gdm specific, but I guess you're talking about editing it just for gdm user on the live install21:43
darkxstyeh only edit it if gdm is installed21:44
jbichabut we'll need to ask, maybe ubiquity needs it to be set up a certain way21:45
darkxstubiquity will break if we change UID21:53
darkxst(it is hardcoded to look for UID 999)21:59
darkxstjbicha, gawk is missing from installed system23:47
darkxst(which breaks bash command completion23:48
jbichaare you sure?23:50
jbichaif that were the case, bash-completion should depend on it23:50
jbichaI've pretty much installed ubuntu-desktop on top of the GNOME Remix for docs work this week23:51
darkxstwell I do say `service nfs<tab>`23:53
darkxstand I get a message to install awk23:53
