[04:55] <R0b0t1> Hi, I have a dualscreen setup, and I have like, two nested desktops
[04:56] <R0b0t1> If I try to set background, the screens will set their backgrounds, but there is a middle portion which seems to be another desktop
[04:56] <R0b0t1> it actually behaves differently, as in, if I set show menus provided by WM
[06:18] <qingluo> hi all, i'm using lubuntu with lxde. a script need to be placed in /etc/xdg/lxsesstion/Lubuntu/autostart,as below:
[06:19] <qingluo> @lxterminal --geometry=115x26 -e startupwork.sh
[06:19] <qingluo> and startupwork.sh will mount some devices. but i dont wanna get pcmanfm to notice me device mounted with a window.so i set auto_mount to 0 in /home/linaro/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf,it works when i run startupwork.sh by myself. while it doesnt work when it auto run from autostart file. how can i do?

[15:12] <semitones> hello!
[15:12] <semitones> whenever i login, I get a "system policy prevents changing wireless networks" message or similar. What can I do to login to wifi networks without having to put in my password?
[15:13] <holstein> semitones: well, you can always just authenticate each time.. but let me find the link i used..
[15:14] <semitones> holstein, thanks! It's more a ease-of-use improvement... no other OS I use asks for a password before connecting to wifi
[15:16] <holstein> well, its no "improvement" at all.. its a change
[15:16] <holstein> semitones: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6214179/ is what i did, though, i cant find my original source
[15:18] <semitones> it makes it easier for me to use, so I consider it an improvement. But there are cases where it might be better to ask the password before connecting to wifi, so I see what you mean, i think?
[15:20] <holstein> semitones: consider it what you like, but its no improvement, friend.. its a preference
[15:20] <holstein> semitones: the above change is the way i chagne that.. i suggest to the developers of a few distros about how to change that, and why i think its more "proper".. but, its no improvment.. its a change
[15:21] <holstein> semitones: i just did it on this machine, because i hadnt gotten around to changing it yet :)
[15:23] <semitones> lol :) yeah that's true. It's just a change, but it's what works best for me.
[15:49] <andreiiar> Hello. I fire this in one go. I want a portable lubuntu on my usb stick 16GB. Problem is persistence is max 4gb with the install tools. I tried to install normally but I had problems switching from my laptop to a normal screen monitor. I fixed the resolution problem but it started not working on other computers after 2 days. Is there some script to detect my hardware at every boot like persitence
[15:49] <andreiiar> installs does?
[17:05] <phillw> andreiiar: you could partition up the 8 GB as ext4 and then have it automounted via fstab and call it "docs" or "my stuff" to store all 'your stuff' in ?

[21:44] <melodie> hi
[21:46] <phillw> hi melodie
[21:47] <melodie> hello phillw!
[21:47] <melodie> how are you? :)
[21:47] <phillw> I'm well, getting prepped for tomorrow :)
[21:47] <melodie> prepared?
[21:47] <phillw> yes.
[21:48] <melodie> I am being doing special tests with zram in my ubuntu openbox remix updated, in virtualbox, and I have already uploaded a series of screenshots
[21:49] <melodie> phillw I don't know yet how to deal with the blueprint place, you will need to explain that to me as soon as possible
[21:49] <melodie> not now though :)
[21:49] <phillw> melodie: I updated bug 1235525

[21:50] <melodie> phillw yes? I have  not followed that one bug, just saw a mail about it on the ml

[21:51] <ubottu> Ubuntu bug 1235525 in linux (Ubuntu Saucy) "error on sudo parted -l" [Medium,Confirmed]
[21:52] <melodie> phillw ok, "parted -l" man:
[21:52] <melodie>       -l, --list
[21:52] <melodie>               lists partition layout on all block devices
[21:52] <melodie> I see
[21:53] <melodie> of course it's only a block device
[21:53] <phillw> so, it is a phantom bug, parted is doing exactly as it should.
[21:53] <phillw> it could never partition up a zram area!
[21:54] <melodie> lol
[21:55] <melodie> phillw …
[21:55] <melodie> rotfl!
[21:55] <melodie> it's not a bug. (me nods). it's a feature ! :D
[21:55] <phillw> indeed... it just dawned on me when I was thinking of something else...
[21:55] <melodie> :'-D
[21:56] <phillw> I just hope Joe also accepts it was a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees.
[21:57] <melodie> :)

[23:46] <mapps> hi guys - im trying to booty off a live cd on an old machine..tried lubuntu so far and it just goes to a command prompt..i guess some issue with the gfx drivers?
[23:46] <Unit193> Try adding nomodeset to the boot options.
[23:46] <Unit193> !nomodeset
[23:46] <ubottu> A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[23:47] <mapps> aha
[23:47] <mapps> Thanks pal
[23:48] <Unit193> Sure.
[23:48] <mapps> i dont get a black screen but it goes to command could be same?
[23:48] <mapps> damn annoying
[23:48] <Unit193> You should try running  startlubuntu  there, or  sudo service lightdm start
[23:48] <mapps> one more thing..it wouldnt make a difference using lubuntu or xubuntu/ubuntu would it? i assume all would be same due to gfx issue
[23:48] <mapps> aha will try everything..thanks
[23:58] <mapps> ah just stops on a blinking cursor afters service lightdm start
