| nOStahl | hey guys I am not sure where to ask this, I have minimal ubuntu with just open box and xserver going, how can I set it up to autologin the user instead of it booting up to command prompt | 00:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Install a DM. | 00:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nOStahl: Get lightdm, it's the easiest | 00:59 |
| Unit193 | KDM, GDM, LXDM. XDM, LightDM (ubuntu default.) | 01:00 |
| Unit193 | Slim too. | 01:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well, lightdm-gtk-greeter is, anyway | 01:00 |
| nOStahl | I didn't know slim did autologin | 01:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | unity-greeter is too decorative but it is functional. | 01:00 |
| nOStahl | I'm making a digital display that loads a fullscreen webpage | 01:01 |
| Unit193 | Lightdm and LXDM are pretty easy to set autologin, but you need a greeter for lightdm. | 01:01 |
| === azeam_afk is now known as azeam | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | Wouldn't lightdm-gtk-greeter do the trick? Or would that pull all of GTK+ in with it | 01:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 01:02 |
| nOStahl | was hoping to not install ton of dependancies for a login manager :P | 01:02 |
| nOStahl | should be able to throw a line in a config file somewhere | 01:02 |
| nOStahl | I'm looking into rungetty now | 01:02 |

| GridCube | its there a way to edit the gnumeric icons menus order? | 13:03 |
| GridCube | the font selection box its far to big and eats other options i want to use like color painting of cells | 13:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GridCube: I wouldn't know, does #gnumeric exist? | 13:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Nope, guess not | 13:22 |
| GridCube | nope | 13:22 |
| knome | it's part of the gnome office suite, so maybe people on the gnome channels would know | 13:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (I wonder why they can't exist on Freenode.) | 13:24 |
| Pici | because they have their own IRC network? | 13:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Tru dat | 13:24 |
| knome | i assume the real question is why they need to have their own network | 13:24 |
| GridCube | whats that network? | 13:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GIMPNet | 13:24 |
| knome | irc.gnome.org ? | 13:24 |
| Pici | yep | 13:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | irc.gimp.org actually | 13:25 |
| Pici | I think. | 13:25 |
| knome | aha. | 13:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | All things GIMP Tool Kit (or "gtk") | 13:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | The gtk acronym just looks weird. | 13:25 |
| Pici | irc.gnome.org is a CNAME to irc.gimp.net | 13:25 |
| GridCube | nope, blocked by proxy | 13:25 |
| GridCube | i can only join freenode here | 13:25 |
| knome | they don't have a #gnumeric channel, but they have #gnome-office | 13:26 |
| knome | GridCube, or just #gnome on freenode | 13:26 |
| knome | " #gnome - Unofficial GNOME help channel on freenode. (irc.freenode.net) " | 13:26 |
| knome | anyway... i need to run soon | 13:27 |
| knome | see you later | 13:27 |

| p3d4N7ic | Does anyone know how to manually set up an LVM with the Xubuntu LiveCD? It doesn't seem to come equipt with the proper controls. Do I have to use a different CD, or do I have to use command line to do it? I just want a little guidance, I'm sure I can figure it out after that | 16:47 |
| GridCube | !lvm | 16:48 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 16:48 |
| GridCube | p3d4N7ic, at that level any config will be the same either in xubuntu or mainbuntu | 16:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hey stuffin | 16:49 |
| stuffin | hello, this is the xubuntu help? | 16:49 |
| stuffin | hi | 16:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yep | 16:49 |
| GridCube | !hi | stuffin | 16:49 |
| ubottu | stuffin: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 16:49 |
| stuffin | oh good. so i seem to have lost the sound slider , i am in xfce right now | 16:49 |
| p3d4N7ic | Thank you very much ubottu and GridCube, I really appreciate it | 16:49 |
| stuffin | i also dont see any sound settings in the settings manager | 16:49 |
| GridCube | stuffin, go to the panel and re-add the indicatos plugin | 16:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GridCube: I keep forgetting about the !hi command... why don't we have that in the other *buntu channels? | 16:49 |
| stuffin | o try | 16:50 |
| stuffin | i* | 16:50 |
| GridCube | SonikkuAmerica, i dunno, i have them everywhere | 16:50 |
| GridCube | P: | 16:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I can't seem to make that !command work... :P | 16:50 |
| stuffin | oh yes! ty GridCube | 16:50 |
| stuffin | i can keep the sound now and not the bluetooth icon or the arrows? | 16:50 |
| GridCube | stuffin, remove the broken indicator plugin | 16:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hi <<< GridCube, that's what I get outside of #xubuntu... weird. | 16:51 |
| GridCube | stuffin, sorry i dont understand | 16:51 |
| GridCube | SonikkuAmerica, oh well | 16:51 |
| stuffin | when i choose indictor, it is sound, bluetooth icon and two arrows, one up one down | 16:51 |
| GridCube | yes thats networking | 16:51 |
| stuffin | i just want sound | 16:51 |
| GridCube | mmm | 16:51 |
| GridCube | if you rea-add the indicator the pavucontrol doesnt reappear? | 16:52 |
| === emma_ is now known as em | ||
| GridCube | if you "close" the plugin indicators it will restart itself for networking | 16:52 |
| GridCube | but it will not re add the sound control | 16:52 |
| stuffin | i rea-add the indicator three times it always give me back those 3 | 16:53 |
| GridCube | you have to manually restart the plugin indicators for the sound application to re appear | 16:53 |
| GridCube | oh, it has to have them 3 | 16:53 |
| stuffin | ok, but now i also dont hear the sound when adjusting the audio, like the little "plop" | 16:53 |
| GridCube | be sure you are outputing to the proper device | 16:54 |
| GridCube | check the last tab for the sound settings, check that sound its going to programs in the proper output | 16:54 |
| stuffin | it is, ty | 16:54 |
| GridCube | if you have hdmi and analog it might be going to the one you are not currently using | 16:55 |
| stuffin | all speake tests work | 16:55 |
| stuffin | strange | 16:55 |
| GridCube | open alsa-mixer on a terminal and check that nothing its muted | 16:55 |
| stuffin | hope do i open it? | 16:56 |
| stuffin | how* | 16:57 |
| GridCube | open a terminal and type alsamixer | 16:57 |
| stuffin | they all look good | 16:58 |
| stuffin | maybe just a restart | 16:58 |
| stuffin | one last question if i can. I decided to install the most recent proprietary driver, is that ok? i didnt see much difference with the other proprietary. | 16:59 |
| GridCube | yes thats fine | 17:02 |
| stuffin | ty | 17:03 |
| GridCube | generic should work though i dont have any problem with them, though i do not have privative for this machine to try P: | 17:03 |
| stuffin | generic wont work well enough | 17:03 |
| stuffin | hey, do i need install gstreamer? | 17:03 |
| GridCube | if you installed xubuntu-restricted-extras you got all what you need | 17:04 |
| stuffin | i dont think i did | 17:04 |
| stuffin | unless it come with it | 17:05 |
| GridCube | if you checked the "install media stuffs" in the installer while installing you should, you can do a fast check using sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:05 |
| stuffin | i will ty | 17:06 |
| GridCube | if it says its in its latest version you already have it, if it ask you to install a gazillion programs its not installed :P | 17:06 |
| stuffin | it is installing, ty again | 17:06 |
| GridCube | dont worry :) | 17:07 |
| stuffin | do you know of good usenet download? | 17:07 |
| stuffin | gui | 17:07 |

| blue_pearl | in Xubuntu 13.04 command in /etc/rc.local not executing when computer starts , what can be the problem? | 17:39 |
| brainwash | blue_pearl, rc.local might be executed even before the X server is running | 17:41 |
| brainwash | blue_pearl, try to delay your command in rc.local | 17:42 |
| blue_pearl | brainwash, ooh , i see | 17:48 |
| brainwash | blue_pearl, you can also use the lightdm script hooks to run commands on startup | 17:50 |
| brainwash | blue_pearl, or upstart :) | 17:50 |
| blue_pearl | brainwash, ok, thanks | 17:50 |
| jdr | Hi Folks, I've got a pc with xubuntu 10.04 on it (booting from sda3). I want to install xubuntu 13.04 (but have no usb bootable pc and no cddrive). | 18:12 |
| jdr | Any solution on how I can install xubuntu from a partition? | 18:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: Does it have an Internet connection? | 18:13 |
| jdr | yes | 18:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | All you need | 18:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: STEP 1: Open a terminal and type [ do-release-upgrade ]. | 18:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: That will get you to 12.04 LTS. | 18:14 |
| jdr | I tried so, but it does not want to boot any more after I upgraded | 18:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: Why not? | 18:15 |
| jdr | some errors like colord? group did not exist etc | 18:15 |
| bekks | Which errors exactly? | 18:15 |
| jdr | do I have to upgrade all of my packages first before doing the upgrade to 12.04? | 18:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: You shouldn't have to. But bekks is right. We need !details | 18:16 |
| jdr | ok, I give it another try then and post the errors as I encounter them. sec | 18:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: It's recommended that you run [ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ] first, just to be safe. | 18:17 |
| jdr | That's idd what I am going to try first. Make sure my system is up to date, then upgrade to 12.04 | 18:18 |

| hylian | i was wondering if anyone knows that Xubuntu 12.04 LTS help docs say "Welcome to Xubuntu 11.10!" | 18:47 |
| hylian | it says it in | 18:48 |
| hylian | it says it in file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/about/xubuntu-index.html | 18:48 |
| knome | hylian, it's outdated, but known bug | 18:48 |
| hylian | ok, so long as it's known about. That's all I needed to worry about. So it is on launchpad or something? And, do I use launchpad, being that i am not a directly Ubuntu user? | 18:50 |
| hylian | well, i answered my own questions, with google, thanks knome! | 18:52 |
| knome | hylian, i don't know if it's in launchpad, but we (xubuntu team) are working on it | 18:52 |
| knome | *can't remember :) | 18:52 |
| knome | no problem | 18:52 |
| hylian | before I go, i have to say that Xubuntu rocks! KDE is now my second fave, but it still holds no candle to XFCE. | 18:53 |
| seronis | knome, does the xubuntu team also fix bugs / missing features in things like Thunar? So far in 2 weeks i've found that it doesnt allow editing (or even seeing the status of) the executable bit on files. And it doesnt support ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab for navigating between tabs | 19:02 |
| knome | seronis, not really. check the xfce bugzilla for that | 19:02 |
| knome | seronis, (we can if it's critical, but this is more towards feature request) | 19:03 |
| seronis | ok thanks for quick response. i havent bothered filing bug reports / feature requests on those yet BECAUSE they're such small issues. Waiting till im comfortable enough with the environment to be able to submit a patch along with the report. just wanted to know which group would be most receptive | 19:06 |
| knome | seronis, ubuntu-bug thunar files a bug about thunar to launchpad against the thunar package in ubuntu, but with xfce we usually forward people to file upstream bugs anyway | 19:07 |
| knome | s/about/for/ | 19:07 |
| jdr | @SonikkuAmerica: I've updated all packages, and now running Distribution upgrade to 12.04. I encounter error as in: http://pastebin.com/gNSSnKyD | 19:21 |
| jdr | Will killall xscreensaver and killall xlockmore do the trick here? | 19:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: Instead of that... | 19:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jdr: I would recommend disabling the screen saver and the screen locker in xfce4-settings-manager | 19:22 |
| jdr | ok upgrading | 19:26 |

| jdr | SonikkuAmerica: upgrade went fine right now. System could reboot. to get from 12.04 to 13.04: does this require me to get to 12.10 first ? | 20:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yes. | 20:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And you'll have to tweak [ software-properties-gtk ] to do it. | 20:20 |
