bgardnerdeleve: Hello13:21
delevebgardner, do you know how to skip the login screen on xubuntu?13:22
bgardnerdeleve: Not off the top of my head, let me look.13:23
delevebgardner, i still dont have to put my password, but i have to choose, does have any option to go right through it?13:23
delevebgardner, thanx13:23
delevebgardner, dont rush im still here ;)13:27
bgardnerdeleve: Thanks, still digging.13:27
bgardnerdeleve: Try this, it's for Oneiric but it should still be relevant:  http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/09/setting-lightdm-to-auto-login-oneiric.html13:28

delevebgardner, ??13:46
delevebgardner, r u there?13:46
TheSheep!u13:46
ubottuU is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'ryt',  'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information.13:46
bgardnerdeleve: Yes, did you have any luck with that link?13:46
bgardnerdeleve: Are you still with us?13:50
delevebgardner, yes14:22
delevebgardner, sorry14:22
delevebgardner, i was feeding my kid14:22
delevebgardner, what link?14:22
delevebgardner, sorry, didnt saw the link14:23
bgardnerdeleve: Up above, I said: "Try this, it's for Oneiric but it should still be relevant:  http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/09/setting-lightdm-to-auto-login-oneiric.html"14:23
bgardnerdeleve: Or, just work with /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf14:23
krytarikIt will be the same either way though. :P14:24
krytarikSince apperently there is no GUI in Xfce/Xubuntu for that.14:24
bgardnerkrytarik: Correct.14:24
krytarik*GUI tool14:24
krytarikdeleve, you could as well have a look at this though: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Autologin14:25
krytarikThat includes a command for setting it.14:25
bgardnerThanks krytarik, that's actually more current and probably the better guide.14:26
krytarikNah, it's not really, just the additionally command.14:26
krytarik*additional14:27
krytarikI'm one of the authors of that site, so. :P14:27
krytarikI like that it also includes all the advanced settings.14:28
delevebgardner, ok, let me see14:28
Distrotbgardner: Hola! Sorry to bother, but I replaced my HDD and installed xubuntu again. Trying to see if anything will crash. An odd request, I know, but do you have any suggestions? lol14:42
bgardnerDistrot: Suggestions as to what?  You replaced the HDD so all the discussion we had before is no longer relevant to the new installation.14:43
SKYLAKE-10nm!seen wave15:22
ubottuI have no seen command15:22
Distrotbgardner: Sorry for lack of clarification. Basically, I am trying to see if I can replicate the actions I did before that spontaneously caused crashes. I was wondering if you could think of any way to lessen the spontaneity and reproduce these crashes. I am guessing the answer is "no" but I figured I might as well ask anyways.15:27
Distrotbgardner: I followed your suggestion in replacing the HDD (as if you couldn't tell).15:28
bgardnerDistrot: The answer is definitely no - your results were, in my opinion, highly unusual.  The last I heard, you couldn't run any application without strange behavior or crashes, which I would consider wildly unexpected for Xubuntu.15:29
bgardnerDistrot: Although, loading and playing with any of the major applications (LibreOffice, Eclipse, Inkscape, etc.) would be a valid test case.15:30
Distrotbgardner: Ok, I thought as much. I also wanted to thank you for your suggestion, as I have been testing it for a few hours now and I have not seen any visible signs of instability.15:32
bgardnerDistrot: You're very welcome, glad you're getting good results.15:33

feisarHi, I have just install xubuntu 13.04, is it ok to install Nautilus? I have read that it will cause conflicts19:03
pleia2I have it installed without issue, what conflicts are you worried/read about?19:04
feisarit was just one comment on a blog, I just wanted to check19:04
feisarI'm setting up ubuntu for a friend who used to use Unity and 12.04 but 13.04 Unity is not usable so I thought I try xubuntu which is nice but nautilus might have a bit better functionality19:06
krytarikfeisar, just don't expect it to work that easily on handling your desktop, but other than that, it's fairly simple, as pleia2 said.19:06
feisar(specifically thinking of Dropbox)19:06
feisarthanks, what do you mean handling my desktop?19:06
krytarikYou should keep Thunar handling it, otherwise it's quite cumbersome to make Nautilus work there.19:07
feisarah ok, do you know if Dropbox works alright?19:08
feisar(with Thunar)19:08
krytarikI think I've heard so.19:08
feisarok well I'll give it a go19:09

Unit193OK, I don't really see much in there to worry about, xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage.  Why not use the one in repos?19:24

xubuntu898Hi guys. Is there any reason why the XUbuntu 12.04 Alternate is not a part of the Universal USB installer on Windows?19:58
Sysino idea, universal usb installer has pretty much nothing to do with ubuntu project AFAIK19:59
xubuntu898Ah alright. What would you suggest for installation then besides burning the ISO to a CD? - Seeing that I'm out.20:00
Sysiunetbootin or linux live usb creator (because bitcopy is a nuisance on windows)20:01
Sysibitcopy is the most reliable way with alternate image20:02
xubuntu898I actually tried to load up the image in LLUC, and it says that it can probably do it. Just wanted to check first.20:02
xubuntu898I'll try LLUC and otherwise the alternatives. Thank you.20:04
David-Axubuntu898: the Alternate versions use a simpler install process. I doubt they can run as live systems from a cd or usb thumb. (Universal USB, Unetbootin and USB-creator are meant to make live systems on an usb)20:06
=== benmoose is now known as SonikkuAmerica
xubuntu898David-A: It did boot from LLUC with the alternate image20:19
xubuntu898I'll get to the installation tomorrow however20:19
David-Axubuntu898: what is LLUC?20:22
xubuntu898linux live usb creator20:38
xubuntu898Gotta run. Thanks for your time.20:38
SysiDavid-A: they don't run live but you can run debian installer from usb too, but the difference makes the simple tools a bit unreliable20:39
Sysidd(bitcopy) has always worked20:40
DistrotHey guys, really dumb question: Can I use GParted on my Xubuntu Live CD to enlarge my swap partition? I'm running a little low on memory and have oodles of GB at my disposal.21:32
Sysisure you can21:33
DistrotOk. It can install from the Software Center onto the Live CD then?21:33
SysiI think it's there by defauult, but you can do that too21:34
DistrotOh ok. Thanks!21:36
David-ADistrot: multiple swap partitions are allowed, so an alternative to resizing an existing swap is to add new swap partitions. you can also add swap-FILES if you also have oodles of free gb in your file system.21:40
