| kksafak | i cant open it with gksu | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | it? | 00:05 |
| kksafak | he ask me the password and i give the PW but dont open anything | 00:06 |
| holstein | kksafak: for? | 00:06 |
| holstein | kksafak: you can use pastebin if its helpful to convey to the volunteers what is going on | 00:06 |
| kksafak | for changing he lightDM.conf | 00:07 |
| holstein | kksafak: sudo nano will open that.. or gksudo gedit /path/to/file .. or whatever you would like to use | 00:07 |
| kksafak | how? | 00:09 |
| holstein | kksafak: open a terminal and type | 00:10 |
| holstein | sudo nano /path/to/file | 00:10 |
| holstein | OR, gksudo gedit | 00:10 |
| holstein | OR, the text editor of your choice | 00:10 |
| kksafak | can i use abiword? | 00:12 |
| holstein | kksafak: abiword would be overkill, but sure | 00:13 |
| holstein | kksafak: what would i do? type exactly one of the commands i gave above, or search "edit file as root with abiword ubuntu" | 00:13 |
| holstein | kksafak: i would back that up first regardless, then you wont have any issues | 00:14 |
| kksafak | howcan i work with sudo nano /path/to/file? | 00:24 |
| holstein | kksafak: what are you trying to do? | 00:26 |
| holstein | edit a file? | 00:26 |
| holstein | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ? | 00:26 |
| holstein | in that case, you use the terminal | 00:26 |
| holstein | sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 00:26 |
| holstein | sudo says "i want to edit this file as root" and nano is a text editor | 00:26 |
| holstein | !info nano | 00:26 |
| ubottu | nano (source: nano): small, friendly text editor inspired by Pico. In component main, is standard. Version 2.2.6-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 182 kB, installed size 600 kB | 00:26 |
| holstein | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is the file you referenced that you are trying to edit | 00:26 |
| holstein | otherwise, you can use gedit | 00:27 |
| holstein | !info gedit | 00:27 |
| ubottu | gedit (source: gedit): official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 (raring), package size 519 kB, installed size 2699 kB | 00:27 |
| holstein | you would use a different command to "borrow the privileges" or root | 00:27 |
| holstein | !gksudo | 00:27 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:27 |
| holstein | so, the command would be | 00:27 |
| holstein | gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 00:27 |
| holstein | kksafak: clear? | 00:28 |
| kksafak | :( | 00:30 |
| holstein | kksafak: whats the issue? | 00:30 |
| holstein | kksafak: open a terminal and type sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 00:31 |
| holstein | !pastebin | 00:31 |

| holstein | kksafak: if you open a root, with sudo, you save it | 00:41 |
| holstein | if you are getting an error, share it with me | 00:41 |
| kksafak | if i want to save the changes i become a writing error | 00:42 |
| holstein | kksafak: i would need to see those errors, friend | 00:42 |
| holstein | !tr | kksafak | 00:42 |

| holstein | i cant even copy paste that error to google translate that way | 00:44 |
| holstein | please wait! | 00:44 |
| kksafak | Error while attempting to register (recording) | 00:45 |
| holstein | kksafak: i have no idea what that is | 00:45 |
| holstein | kksafak: what are you trying to do, friend? | 00:45 |
| holstein | just save the file back.. if its not saving, try going to a turksish support channel | 00:46 |
| holstein | this is *not* ubuntustudio specific | 00:46 |
| holstein | you can try #xubuntu or #ubuntu | 00:46 |
| kksafak | i want to change the "autologin-session=lightdm-autologin" file to "v" | 00:46 |
| kksafak | autologin-session=lightdm-just | 00:46 |
| holstein | to v? | 00:46 |
| kksafak | ubuntustudio 13 | 00:47 |
| holstein | just edit the file,and save it back | 00:47 |
| kksafak | ok | 00:47 |
| holstein | kksafak: use a live CD to edit the file, if you are having issues with permissions | 00:48 |
| kksafak | i want only, that my desktop not run automatically | 00:49 |
| kksafak | why is this too strain? | 00:49 |
| holstein | i mean, it comes that way out of the box.. and i think we clearly had an obvious language barrier.. | 01:22 |
