K1rkI am trying to clean up after this largely ignored bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/990315  Without compiling my own binaries.  I am doing this on a large scale deployment, and I don't want to deal with an update wiping out my custom binaries.02:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 990315 in LightDM GTK+ Greeter "[patch] fixes 'Cancel' button press action" [Undecided,Fix released]02:24
K1rkI thought maybe a good solution would be a custom button on the GTK greeter to replace their broken cancel button. Maybe one which runs a custom bash script to kill and restart lightdm.02:24
K1rkAny idea how I can accomplish this?02:24
keithclarkCould someone tell me what they get when they go to clarkhome.dyndns-home.com02:46
holsteinkeithclark: it works!03:07
keithclarkthanks holstein I don't see the same here03:08
holsteinkeithclark: you should if you go to the ip of the box03:09
keithclarkholstein, yes I can if I type the local ip of the box.  I cannot if I type the url as given here.  Or even the ip address03:10
holsteinkeithclark: thats not a problem03:10
keithclarkholstein, Ah, all I would get was my routers login page03:11
keithclarkI just wanted to make sure that I could have access to my box from outside the house03:12
berglehere is a random question -here because i run xubuntu- anyone know of any window managers that operates in 3d. kinda like having a fps as a desktop, with actual different rooms, or the ability to move in 3d?03:14
holsteinkeithclark: i see the "it works" page... so you do03:17
holsteinkeithclark: took a while to load03:17
holsteinbergle: nothing exactly like that, though enlightenment does some pretty interesting visual things03:17
bergleholstein, well years ago they had a start to something like that on windows, it was only a large flat square you could move on, and the icons were 3d representatives and i am trying to find out if any further development has happened in the last 10 years or so03:19
berglei dont need multiple desktop spaces, or a cube and rotation. at the very least im trying to find the right way to google it, as to return as little vmware or classic window manager gnome/kde/compiz stuff so i can sort through it03:19
holsteinbergle: compiz.. not with romms like that. though everything here is open if you cant find what you want and want to make it03:20
holsteinrooms*03:20
bergleholstein, though my programming is lacking in that department.03:20

inop2603Howdy! :D13:10
som__hello everyone14:23
finn__anyone know about getting wakeup from usb to work in 12.10?14:44
finn__specifically, i'm trying to change /proc/acpi/wakeup, but it appears something else is automatically changing it to prevent my edits from kicking in (when i nano the file and save, i get a "File was modified since you opened it, continue saving")14:45
finn__and then it reverts14:45

testoseems like I can not set up LAN interface up (12.04 32bit)17:37
testowireless working but Lan is not.17:37
JamesBHowdy. I just installed Xubuntu alongside Windows 8... seemed fine, but on starting Windows 8, it decided to 'automatic repair'. I hit Cancel when it gave the option of system restore, but it's taking a long while to start up... should this be cause for concern?17:37
testoit is on switch and it is on ifconfig -a , but no Ip address17:37
ochositesto: maybe dhcp is disabled for lan on your router?17:38
testoJamesB, I don't think there is system restore on xubuntu, unless you installed on Btrfs and restoring from snapshot17:38
testoochosi, yes, I have no dhcp device to set address to17:39
testoI want to share wireless connection to other people on network17:39
testoWhen I set it in ipV4 settings, nothing happens17:39
JamesBNo, I mean when I tried to start Windows 8 after installing Xubuntu, Windows 8 is doing that...17:40
testoI have no idea what ubuntu 8 has. Has been on linux from 2006 onwars.17:40
testowhat windows 8 have :)17:40
JamesBAh. Well, someone else can answer then I suppose :)17:40
JamesBI can only assume by the amount of time it's taking that it's busy erasing Xubuntu17:40
testowell I think that all linux does it install in MBR of the disk and gives ability to choose, so both systems are independent after that17:41
JamesBApparently not :) Maybe it's due to it having 4K sectors or whatnot, who knows17:41
testoJamesB, I am not sure if Microsoft is such malicious.17:42
JamesBNot malicious, it's just 'repairing Windows' after my install17:42
testoJamesB, well, I definately knows that xubunut will not affect windows, that is for sure17:42
testoanyway, I do not remember that Lan settings on GUI actually was ever working in Xubuntu. Wireless works, lan don't17:44
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
testoit is 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2417 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5007G 802.11bg] (rev 01)17:52
testobut 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 08) does not work17:52
testoso editing network connections for LAn have no effect at all17:53
testoI can put anything in there, it fon't put eth0 interface up17:53
testoi set everything in GUI for lan and it has no effect.17:57
testoI have nothing special on this system, just 12.04 fresh install17:57
testowould like to route internet from wifi to LAN with it.17:58
testomaybe problem is that ther eis local-link and defualt both tighted to wlan0 in route17:58
simanow I can make static IP on LAN working after restart, but when I connect to wireless internet, I can not use internet connection throught wireless, untill I manually disable LAN network with static IP...18:19
simaso it is eather wireless without LAN and have internet on one computer, or use LAN with no internet over wlan18:19

jonnemy box is mainly xubuntu but it has a bunch of gnome stuff sprinkled in, and for some reason i have no idea which tool actually controls power saving19:50
jonneis there a way i can find out which service handles this? I basically want my screen to turn off after 5 minutes or so19:50
lars__jonne : I dont know if you can do this but I do that in the screen settings19:51
lars__But i got a fresh install of xubuntu19:52
lars__Rightclick on desktop19:52
lars__Sorry19:52
jonnemine's a frankenstein of sorts, so i probably have multiple services installed19:52
lars__Settings > the other setting option and then there is "montior" i think19:52
lars__xscreensaver19:53
lars__its called19:53
jonnealso, i'm running xbmc on this, so it possibly also stops power management from kicking in19:53
lars__Dont know about that but I know that xscreensaver handles the xfce screen settings and shutdown19:54
jonneit's just a bitch to figure out what works or not, because you have to wait for a while after each change before you can tell wheter it worked or not19:59
