| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | In Pcmanfm, Go > My Computer ? | 02:49 |
| Peon- | Unit193, thank you, I didn't know where to look. | 05:02 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 05:04 |

| Pholey | hello is anybody on? | 06:52 |
| Pholey | i am having extreme issues with lubuntu and connecting to my wireless network | 06:54 |
| Pholey | it keeps prompting me for the password i have taken every measure to ensure it is correct, complaining that it is incorrect | 06:54 |
| Pholey | i have tried it on two different routers and it does not work | 06:55 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | the complaining part= password issue? | 06:55 |
| Pholey | yes | 06:55 |
| Pholey | and now the installer just failed, grub-2 failed to install | 06:55 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | grub2 install/updates goes via sudo | 06:55 |
| Pholey | yes, but i am installing lubuntu as a whole | 06:56 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | do you have-su enabled? | 06:56 |
| Pholey | im on the live CD | 06:56 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | ok | 06:56 |
| Pholey | So i would assume it would be | 06:56 |
| Unit193 | Might want to check the CD for defects. During initial boot there will be an option for it. | 06:56 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | sudo indeed not su | 06:57 |
| Pholey | Sadly, there were no errors found already | 06:57 |
| Pholey | it happened with xubuntu too | 06:57 |
| Pholey | which leads me to believe there is some sort of problem with my system | 06:58 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | keyboard/azerty etc, issue? | 06:58 |
| Pholey | not any keyboard issues | 06:58 |
| Pholey | if anything a mouse issue | 06:58 |
| Unit193 | Selecting the correct auth type I'd assume? No logs in /var/log/? | 06:58 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | is 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 navigate | 06:59 |
| Unit193 | And does this device connect from another operating system? | 06:59 |
| Pholey | and no, its wired. what do you mean connect from another operating system? | 06:59 |
| Pholey | the oddest part of it all, is that i can connect to my cell phone's wireless tethering | 07:00 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | remote? | 07:00 |
| Pholey | no, its physically connected to the computer i am working with | 07:00 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | ok thx, I really don't know, you could check auth.logs...but.. | 07:01 |
| Pholey | my main concern (aside from the wifi issue) is that i can not alter values with my mouse, only with tab and my keyboard | 07:02 |
| Pholey | the mouse works fine, and lubuntu recognizes it | 07:03 |
| Pholey | but there is some kind of issue with the actual window | 07:03 |
| Pholey | i caught a glimpse of an error when i was using gparted once | 07:03 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | x/windows and passwd problems doesn't ring a bell here. i am sorry...:/ | 07:06 |
| Evil-Soul-Sing | very sorry indeed | 07:06 |
| Pholey | not a problem | 07:07 |
| Unit193 | Wait, wired? 0_o | 07:10 |
| Suarte45 | Unit193: hi, are you here? | 12:41 |
| Suarte45 | Unit193: 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 |
| Suarte45 | Unit193: (assuming that you remember me from yesterday....) | 12:46 |
| Suarte45 | bioterror: are you around? | 12:46 |
| sma | hi, 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 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu'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/FreeFormats | 18:00 |
| TuxFalk699 | tank u so much | 18:01 |

| ianorlin | http://paste.openstack.org/show/47864 | 20:08 |
| ianorlin | On an installed raring system I found a mention of this being overwritten on install which doesn't seem to make sense | 20:10 |
| ianorlin | is this a bug? | 20:10 |
| phillw | looks like a default config file for open box which is created when you install a system. | 20:15 |
| phillw | you 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 |
| phillw | but, I'm no expert on openbox! | 20:17 |
| ianorlin | it was in my home directory | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | Then ignore the warning and carry on, simple. | 20:21 |
| ianorlin | ok | 20:35 |
| CanuckTux | Guys, I think I broke something | 22:10 |
| CanuckTux | When I try to log into to my account from the login screen, it seems to start loading, then puts me back to the Display Manager | 22:11 |
| CanuckTux | I am on guest account now | 22:11 |
| CanuckTux | also logging in from from a TTY works | 22:12 |
| Rory | CanuckTux: If you run "ls -al" do you see a file called .Xauthority that is owned by root? | 22:12 |
| CanuckTux | yes | 22:15 |
| CanuckTux | it is is both the guest and admin home directory | 22:15 |
| CanuckTux | should I touch it? | 22:16 |
| CanuckTux | I stated X from TTY and it booted to default environment | 22:17 |
| * Canucktux2 has X running on account :D | 22:19 | |
| Canucktux2 | now to get it working from the LM... | 22:19 |
| Canucktux2 | so bit of a hack, but atleast I can still login to something graphical | 22:32 |
| Rory | Canucktux2: Sorry I forgot I was helping... You need to run "sudo chown yourusername: ~/.Xauthority" | 22:37 |
| Rory | Canucktux2: And in future if you need to run a graphical application with elevated privileges from the command line, use gksu, not sudo | 22:38 |
| Rory | !gksu | 22:38 |
| 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) | 22:38 |
