qingluohi all, why i use lxde with lubuntu. it requires my passwd when i press shutdown button in graphic mode01:26
hyperairdo you have any other users logged in? i think polkit requires root access to shutdown a system that has others still logged in.01:30
hyperairno wait, maybe it's a consolekit failing01:36
qingluoyep01:54
qingluoi have a root log in background01:54
qingluolinaro's system01:54
ianorlinI think it is so people don't log other users out and mess up their data02:39
hyperairianorlin: yeah i'd think so too, but the polkit files don't seem to show any difference in behaviour..02:42
hyperaircheck out the two <action>...</action> blocks from this command: sed -n '/power-off"/,/\/action/p; /power-off-multiple-session/,/\/action/p' /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy02:43

hyperairit says "challenge"02:46
hyperairCHALLENGE ACCEPTED.02:46
hyperairwait, how do i accept this challenge?02:46
Unit193string "yes"02:46
hyperairhmm.02:46
hyperairmaybe it means to prompt me?02:46
hyperairi mean i have a guest account active right now02:46
hyperairso maybe it just prompts me for yes/no confirmation02:47
hyperairhang on, wasn't logind supposed to replace consolekit? i still have consolekit running.02:47
hyperairhttp://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/logind/ this says possible, but only after authorization.02:48
hyperairpoking around consolekit's dbus methods says that CanRestart -> false, and CanStop -> false02:49
hyperairhmm02:49
hyperairGetSessions() gives me a blank array02:50

hyperairis it supposed to have stuff?02:54
hyperairor is logind supposed to handle it now?02:54
Unit193logind is supposed to, but not so sure how it works in Lubuntu.02:54
hyperairwell, i'm on ubuntu02:55
hyperaireh interesting, i can remove consolekit.02:55
hyperairi don't think it's being used.02:55
Unit193Logind is what's used there.02:55
hyperairexcept by KDE, apparently.02:56

llogiqHi folks. I just updated to 13.10 and now ssh always asks for my rsa key. What has changed and how can I restore the old behavior?06:41
hyperairllogiq: what's the old behaviour?06:45
roscogrueni'm wanting to use unetbootin to make a usb install stick.  "lubuntu" is not a choice but other ubuntu types are.  which do i choose06:45
roscogruen?06:45
hyperairasking for your rsa key seems like correct behaviour to me06:45
Unit193hyperair: Gnome keyring.06:45
Unit193roscogruen: Download ISO, use the ISO option.06:45
hyperairUnit193: oh the agent06:45
hyperairis lubuntu using the upstart user session too?06:46
roscogruenwhat iso option, Unit193 ?06:46
roscogruenooooh06:47
Unit193Yep, in unetbootin.06:47
llogiqUnit193, thanks, that should do the trick06:47
Unit193hyperair: I thought they all were, but not sure and haven't upgraded yet. :P06:48
llogiqNope, that didn't do anything. It still asks for the passphrase to my rsa key.06:49
hyperairllogiq: you need to get the ssh-agent info06:50
hyperairit's in the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable06:50
roscogrueni've a usb stick in the port now but it doesn't pick it up.  suggests i reformat to FAT32.  i'm lost06:50
hyperairrun blkid on the usb stick partition06:55
hyperairas root06:55
hyperairUnit193: okay, i've done some poking around, and i have absolutely no idea how gnome-sessoin handles environment variables any more.06:56
hyperairUnit193: it used to be set inside /etc/X11/Xsession.d/06:56
hyperairbut it's shifted away to /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop06:56
hyperairbut afaik nothing plugs directly into the gnome-session process, so how does it set environment variables?06:56
hyperair=\06:57
hyperairoh Apps in this phase can make use of a D-Bus interface to set environment variables in gnome-session's environment. This can be used for things like $GTK_MODULES, $GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET, etc06:57
hyperairit's broken for lubuntu then.06:57
hyperairderp06:58
llogiqyep.06:58
llogiqI got a /tmp/ssh-LUserGaRBleD/agent.1234 socket06:59
llogiq@roscogruen: Maybe unplugging it and plugging it in again might help? Otherwise, which version of UNetBootin do you use? My version here has Lubuntu alright.07:01
llogiqroscogruen, if you want to format the stick, mkfs.vfat is your friend.07:02
hyperairllogiq: can you check if your user has a process called init running?07:03
Unit193hyperair: What about /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf?07:04
hyperairoh i didn't know there was something like that.07:04
* hyperair isn't familiar with lxsession07:04
hyperairbut gnome-keyring-daemon invoked with `gnome-keyring-daemon -s` shows you the environment variables07:05
hyperairso you could basically put something like [ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && eval $(gnome-kerying-daemon -s)07:05
llogiqhyperair, "ps aux | grep init" returns, among the grep and /sbin/init a "init --user" entry07:09
llogiqSo yes, the user init is running.07:09
llogiqThe gnome-keyring-daemon also runs, if that helps07:10
hyperaireh?07:10
hyperairby default?07:10
hyperairor not?07:11
llogiqI think I started it when trying things out.07:12
llogiqMaybe I'll just reboot and come back if the problem persists.07:12
hyperairwell the simplest way is to just dump this line: [ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)07:13
hyperairinside your .bashrc07:13
hyperairyou just need to log out and log back in07:13
hyperairor if you're trying out the bashrc trick, then open a new terminal07:13
llogiqhyperair, this doesn't export the values07:17
llogiqAh, my fault, I mis-copied it :-)07:18
llogiqThanks, hyperair.07:19
llogiqWhat needs to be done for this to be fixed in the main Lubuntu? I know ISOs will not change, but which packages should be changed?07:20
hyperairllogiq: oh yeah whoops, sorry about that.07:20
hyperairllogiq: it's eval $(set -e; gnome-keyring-daemon --start)07:21
hyperairoh and unset -e07:21
hyperaireh not -e07:21
hyperair-a07:21
hyperaireval $(set -a gnome-keyring-daemon --start; unset -a)07:21
llogiqhyperair, this gives me an error: "bash: unset: -a: Invalid Option"07:23
hyperairwhoops07:23
llogiqI'll go with your original version: [ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)  - it works for me07:24
llogiqThank you for the workaround.07:24
hyperairuh okay07:24
llogiqAgain, does anybody know which package would we need to patch to bring this fix into mainline?07:24
hyperairthis wasn't a fix07:25
hyperairthis was a hack07:25
llogiqSure thing. Ok, let me rephrase that.07:25
llogiqWhat can be done to fix this problem in mainline?07:25
hyperairthe right fix would probably be to get gnome-keyring ported to upstart07:25
hyperairso that it sets the env vars inside upstart instead07:26
llogiqOk07:26
llogiqThere is a file /usr/share/upstart/sessions/ssh-agent.conf which contains what you specified, except it uses ssh-agent instead of gnome-keyring-daemon07:36
llogiqso it should (in theory) already work. I'll revert the bashrc hack, reboot and see if that was an odd post-installation error.07:39
llogiqbrb07:39
llogiqNo, that doesn't work for some reason.07:43
llogiqHow do I debug upstart?07:50
llogiqI'd like to know if the ssh-agent job was run07:50
hyperairinictl list08:32
hyperairer08:32
hyperairinitctl list08:32
llogiqthanks, hyperair - ssh-agent is running. Why doesn't it cache the id_rsa passphrase?08:41
hyperairllogiq: because ssh-agent is the wrong one.08:41
llogiqI see.08:42
hyperairllogiq: with ssh-agent, you have to manually add it via ssh-add08:42
llogiqSo the solution would be to disable ssh-agent and use a similar upstart script to run gnome-keyring-daemon?08:42
hyperairgnome-keyring-daemon implements the ssh-agent interface, but isn't the same as ssh-agent08:42
hyperairyesh something like that.08:42
hyperairthe existing ssh-agent script is in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/ssh-agent.conf08:43
llogiqI know.08:43
hyperairright08:43
hyperairjust cp it into ~/.config/upstart/ as gnome-keyring-daemon.conf and modify it to use g-k-d instead08:43
llogiqInterestingly, synaptics shows libgnome-keyring0 as defect.08:46
llogiqAlso gnome-keyring comes with /etc/xdg/autostart files08:47
llogiqBut apparently that works only for gnome.08:47
qingluomy lubuntu didn't recognize hdmi screen well, how can i set the xorg.conf file to recognize it?08:49
llogiqI'll be back after trying out my upstart script.08:59
=== _llogiq_ is now known as llogiq
llogiqYep, it worked.#09:02
llogiqSomeone interested in getting the upstart script into the gnome-keyring-daemon package?09:02
llogiq(which could effectively replace the xdg autostart files)09:03
brainwashthe keyring cannot be enabled via lubuntu's default apps config dialog?09:05
Unit193lxsession-edit, I saw it in there, on Raring.  I still don't know much about Lubuntu on Saucy. :/09:07
llogiqUnit193, apparently it is no longer available on saucy. But as hyperair said, using upstart is the right fix.09:10
llogiqSo why not fix it while we're at it?09:10

Unit193mikkie: Nvidia settings I thought would take care of it, but have you installed and tried using arandr?19:31

GoGooThe problem with Lubuntu 13.10 is that it does not have the plug and play printers drivers like the other Ubuntu’s do.  I had to manually add the printer driver of my HP Deskjet 1050A All-in-One printer by going into the Printer Settings Menu in Lubuntu.  It allowed me to add the recommended driver for my printer but when I tried to print something with it nothing came out of the printer.19:44
Unit193Install hplip.19:45
