Peon-I'm about to ask a question that might make some of you facepalm.. but I'll ask it anyway. Is there a lubuntu equivalent of "my computer" like in windows?02:47
Unit193In Pcmanfm,  Go > My Computer  ?02:49
Peon-Unit193, thank you, I didn't know where to look.05:02
Unit193Sure.05:04
=== Soul-Sing is now known as Evil-Soul-Sing
Pholeyhello is anybody on?06:52
Pholeyi am having extreme issues with lubuntu and connecting to my wireless network06:54
Pholeyit keeps prompting me for the password i have taken every measure to ensure it is correct, complaining that it is incorrect06:54
Pholeyi have tried it on two different routers and it does not work06:55
Evil-Soul-Singthe complaining part= password issue?06:55
Pholeyyes06:55
Pholeyand now the installer just failed, grub-2 failed to install06:55
Evil-Soul-Singgrub2 install/updates goes via sudo06:55
Pholeyyes, but i am installing lubuntu as a whole06:56
Evil-Soul-Singdo you have-su enabled?06:56
Pholeyim on the live CD06:56
Evil-Soul-Singok06:56
PholeySo i would assume it would be06:56
Unit193Might want to check the CD for defects.  During initial boot there will be an option for it.06:56
Evil-Soul-Singsudo indeed not su06:57
PholeySadly, there were no errors found already06:57
Pholeyit happened with xubuntu too06:57
Pholeywhich leads me to believe there is some sort of problem with my system06:58
Evil-Soul-Singkeyboard/azerty etc, issue?06:58
Pholeynot any keyboard issues06:58
Pholeyif anything a mouse issue06:58
Unit193Selecting the correct auth type I'd assume?  No logs in /var/log/?06:58
Evil-Soul-Singis it a tailless mouse :)06:59
Pholey(well, not really the mouse, but i cannot click anything inside a window spawned from a parent window.. i have to use tab to navigate06:59
Unit193And does this device connect from another operating system?06:59
Pholeyand no, its wired. what do you mean connect from another operating system?06:59
Pholeythe oddest part of it all, is that i can connect to my cell phone's wireless tethering07:00
Evil-Soul-Singremote?07:00
Pholeyno, its physically connected to the computer i am working with07:00
Evil-Soul-Singok thx, I really don't know, you could check auth.logs...but..07:01
Pholeymy main concern (aside from the wifi issue) is that i can not alter values with my mouse, only with tab and my keyboard07:02
Pholeythe mouse works fine, and lubuntu recognizes it07:03
Pholeybut there is some kind of issue with the actual window07:03
Pholeyi caught a glimpse of an error when i was using gparted once07:03
Evil-Soul-Singx/windows and passwd problems doesn't ring a bell here. i am sorry...:/07:06
Evil-Soul-Singvery sorry indeed07:06
Pholeynot a problem07:07
Unit193Wait, wired? 0_o07:10
Suarte45Unit193: hi, are you here?12:41
Suarte45Unit193: I noticed that there is a problem with startlubuntu .  Cuz basically my other accounts that work fine will not work if I do Ctrl+Alt+F1, log into one of them and then do startlubuntu. I get the same error message cannot open display. But these accounts work fine if i log into them normally. So the problem is startlubuntu doesnt work for some reason.12:43
Suarte45Unit193: (assuming that you remember me from yesterday....)12:46
Suarte45bioterror: are you around?12:46
smahi, I put lubuntu 13.04 on an old used laptop I bought. I want to use wireless Internet, but how do I find out if the laptop is even able to do that?13:38

ubottuUbuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats18:00

ianorlinhttp://paste.openstack.org/show/4786420:08
ianorlinOn an installed raring system I found a mention of this being overwritten on install which doesn't seem to make sense20:10
ianorlinis this a bug?20:10
phillwlooks like a default config file for open box which is created when you install a system.20:15
phillwyou can over ride this by taking a copy to ~home and editing it. that version will not be over written on an update to saucy.20:16
phillwbut, I'm no expert on openbox!20:17
ianorlinit was in my home directory20:19
Unit193Then ignore the warning and carry on, simple.20:21
ianorlinok20:35
CanuckTuxGuys, I think I broke something22:10
CanuckTuxWhen I try to log into to my account from the login screen, it seems to start loading, then puts me back to the Display Manager22:11
CanuckTuxI am on guest account now22:11
CanuckTuxalso logging in from from a TTY works22:12
RoryCanuckTux: If you run "ls -al" do you see a file called .Xauthority that is owned by root?22:12
CanuckTuxyes22:15
CanuckTuxit is is both the guest and admin home directory22:15
CanuckTuxshould I touch it?22:16
CanuckTuxI stated X from TTY and it booted to default environment22:17
* Canucktux2 has X running on account :D22:19
Canucktux2now to get it working from the LM...22:19
Canucktux2so bit of a hack, but atleast I can still login to something graphical22:32
RoryCanucktux2: Sorry I forgot I was helping... You need to run "sudo chown yourusername: ~/.Xauthority"22:37
RoryCanucktux2: And in future if you need to run a graphical application with elevated privileges from the command line, use gksu, not sudo22:38
Rory!gksu22:38
ubottuIf 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)22:38
