| compaqo | i installed 12.04 on a Compaq Presario 061 and i get a black screen whenever i logoff. that is a major problem. can anyone help me? | 00:38 |
| GridCube | how a black screen? | 00:39 |
| David-A | compaqo: does it look like it is shutting down the operating system, but then it does not cut the power so the computer is still "on" but not doing anything? | 00:42 |
| compaqo | no because i can do alt ctrl f1 and do a console login and use it in text mode which is not what i want because this a desktop pc. it is NOT a server | 00:44 |
| David-A | compaqo: okay. (I don't know what it wrong.) Can you look in logs ~/.xsession-errors or /var/log/syslog if there is somthing suspect? Will the command "sudo shutdown -h now" shut it down? | 00:52 |
| compaqo | Can not shutdown my PC. I mean if i click on System - Shutdown the PC does not power off. I encounter the same problem if as root i execute : shutdown -h now . In those two scenarios, the system halts but does not power off so i have to press the power button on the PC to shut it down | 00:53 |
| compaqo | back in 5 min | 00:59 |

| Yotson | 'investigating' harddrive activity atm. hd light blinks every second, same rhythm as mechanical clock here. iotop mentions some disk activity once in a while but nothing like the 1 sec. tick like the hd light. | 08:03 |
| zruty | I accidentally enabled autologin at install. How to disable that? | 08:06 |
| nikolam | Yotson, use lsof to see what apps are doing what on disk. maybe there is some logging or something. | 08:13 |
| nikolam | zruty, what is in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ? ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/113500/why-am-i-not-asked-for-password-at-startup ) | 08:16 |
| nikolam | zruty, there is also "Asked on Login" under System>users and groups , User settings | 08:18 |
| zruty | my username is in there for autologin-user | 08:19 |
| zruty | I commented it out | 08:19 |
| zruty | nikolam: I found it in the GUI but that does not seem to listen to me | 08:20 |

| teliti | Hello. I just wanted to play an audio cd with gmusicbrowser but it didn't work! Do you know is there a plugin missing in the default install? The xubuntu-restricted-format package is already installed. | 12:09 |
| TheSheep | teliti: "didn't work"? | 12:10 |
| TheSheep | teliti: what happened exactly? | 12:10 |
| TheSheep | teliti: generally, audio cds are not played by software, but by your cd drive directly | 12:10 |
| TheSheep | teliti: the software only tells it to start playing a track | 12:10 |
| TheSheep | teliti: for it to work, your cd drive has to be connected to your soud card with an additional cable | 12:11 |
| teliti | TheSheep: I tried to "Add music" and tried to add the audio cd. But it tells me that it couldn't add the folder. | 12:11 |
| teliti | Or in other words, its not playing my cd :-) | 12:12 |
| TheSheep | teliti: "add the folder"? | 12:12 |
| TheSheep | teliti: audio cds don't have any files on them | 12:12 |
| TheSheep | or folders | 12:12 |
| teliti | TheSheep: So ... is it possible to play audio cds with gmusicbrowser and if yes, how? | 12:13 |
| TheSheep | I don't knwo gmusicbrowser specifically (don't have it installed to check), but there should be a separate option to play an audio cd in it | 12:13 |
| TheSheep | maybe someon else can help with a detailed instruction? | 12:14 |
| teliti | TheSheep: thank you for your effort :-) | 12:14 |
