[02:24] <K1rk> I 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] <K1rk> I 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] <K1rk> Any idea how I can accomplish this?
[02:46] <keithclark> Could someone tell me what they get when they go to clarkhome.dyndns-home.com
[03:07] <holstein> keithclark: it works!
[03:08] <keithclark> thanks holstein I don't see the same here
[03:09] <holstein> keithclark: you should if you go to the ip of the box
[03:10] <keithclark> holstein, 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 address
[03:10] <holstein> keithclark: thats not a problem
[03:11] <keithclark> holstein, Ah, all I would get was my routers login page
[03:12] <keithclark> I just wanted to make sure that I could have access to my box from outside the house
[03:14] <bergle> here 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?
[03:17] <holstein> keithclark: i see the "it works" page... so you do
[03:17] <holstein> keithclark: took a while to load
[03:17] <holstein> bergle: nothing exactly like that, though enlightenment does some pretty interesting visual things
[03:19] <bergle> holstein, 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 so
[03:19] <bergle> i 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 it
[03:20] <holstein> bergle: compiz.. not with romms like that. though everything here is open if you cant find what you want and want to make it
[03:20] <holstein> rooms*
[03:20] <bergle> holstein, though my programming is lacking in that department.
[10:13] <pete_> Hello. Sometimes, the accessibillity-functions acitvates themself while playing minecraft
[10:13] <pete_> how can i get rid of them?
[10:37] <pete_> Is is possible to deactivate the accessibillity-things permanetly?
[10:42] <TheSheep> I have no idea what you mean by "accessibility-things"
[13:10] <inop2603> Howdy! :D
[14:23] <som__> hello everyone
[14:44] <finn__> anyone know about getting wakeup from usb to work in 12.10?
[14:45] <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 reverts
[15:58] <prasad_> hello all, I have installed the faenza theme. But pidgin in the notification area of panel shows the pidgin icon. I want it to show the status icon. How do i go about doing this?
[16:44] <lars__> Back to xubuntu after 1½ year
[16:44] <lars__> Feels good bro
[17:37] <testo> seems like I can not set up LAN interface up (12.04 32bit)
[17:37] <testo> wireless working but Lan is not.
[17:37] <JamesB> Howdy. 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] <testo> it is on switch and it is on ifconfig -a , but no Ip address
[17:38] <ochosi> testo: maybe dhcp is disabled for lan on your router?
[17:38] <testo> JamesB, I don't think there is system restore on xubuntu, unless you installed on Btrfs and restoring from snapshot
[17:39] <testo> ochosi, yes, I have no dhcp device to set address to
[17:39] <testo> I want to share wireless connection to other people on network
[17:39] <testo> When I set it in ipV4 settings, nothing happens
[17:40] <JamesB> No, I mean when I tried to start Windows 8 after installing Xubuntu, Windows 8 is doing that...
[17:40] <testo> I have no idea what ubuntu 8 has. Has been on linux from 2006 onwars.
[17:40] <testo> what windows 8 have :)
[17:40] <JamesB> Ah. Well, someone else can answer then I suppose :)
[17:40] <JamesB> I can only assume by the amount of time it's taking that it's busy erasing Xubuntu
[17:41] <testo> well I think that all linux does it install in MBR of the disk and gives ability to choose, so both systems are independent after that
[17:41] <JamesB> Apparently not :) Maybe it's due to it having 4K sectors or whatnot, who knows
[17:42] <testo> JamesB, I am not sure if Microsoft is such malicious.
[17:42] <JamesB> Not malicious, it's just 'repairing Windows' after my install
[17:42] <testo> JamesB, well, I definately knows that xubunut will not affect windows, that is for sure
[17:44] <testo> anyway, I do not remember that Lan settings on GUI actually was ever working in Xubuntu. Wireless works, lan don't
[17:52] <testo> it is 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2417 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5007G 802.11bg] (rev 01)
[17:52] <testo> but 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 08) does not work
[17:53] <testo> so editing network connections for LAn have no effect at all
[17:53] <testo> I can put anything in there, it fon't put eth0 interface up
[17:57] <testo> i set everything in GUI for lan and it has no effect.
[17:57] <testo> I have nothing special on this system, just 12.04 fresh install
[17:58] <testo> would like to route internet from wifi to LAN with it.
[17:58] <testo> maybe problem is that ther eis local-link and defualt both tighted to wlan0 in route
[18:19] <sima> now 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] <sima> so it is eather wireless without LAN and have internet on one computer, or use LAN with no internet over wlan
[18:55] <Catbuntu> ohai
[19:50] <jonne> my 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 saving
[19:50] <jonne> is there a way i can find out which service handles this? I basically want my screen to turn off after 5 minutes or so
[19:51] <lars__> jonne : I dont know if you can do this but I do that in the screen settings
[19:52] <lars__> But i got a fresh install of xubuntu
[19:52] <lars__> Rightclick on desktop
[19:52] <lars__> Sorry
[19:52] <jonne> mine's a frankenstein of sorts, so i probably have multiple services installed
[19:52] <lars__> Settings > the other setting option and then there is "montior" i think
[19:53] <lars__> xscreensaver
[19:53] <lars__> its called
[19:53] <jonne> also, i'm running xbmc on this, so it possibly also stops power management from kicking in
[19:54] <lars__> Dont know about that but I know that xscreensaver handles the xfce screen settings and shutdown
[19:59] <jonne> it'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 not
