| dietrichman | hi | 02:04 |
|---|---|---|
| delt | i installed lubuntu-desktop, it added a "gnome" menu entry which left my ubuntu box in an unusable state. way to go guys :3 | 02:23 |
| delt | had to manually edit config files to disable auto-login | 02:23 |
| MaynardW1ters | ping holstein | 02:24 |
| delt | btw, how do you edit/add/remove the entries in the desktop-environment selection on the login screen? | 02:24 |
| delt | and decide which is the default for auto-login? | 02:24 |
| Unit193 | Default should be in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ or /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 02:25 |
| delt | isn't that per user? | 02:26 |
| delt | should be in my home dir somewhere...? | 02:26 |
| delt | ah found it, ~/.dmrc | 02:54 |
| holstein | MaynardW1ters: hey | 04:26 |
| holstein | delt: i usually suggest, when folks come here *before* installing extra packages, to install lxde instead of lubuntu-desktop | 04:27 |
| holstein | delt: i find lxde installs quite easily, and i look, and suggest that you or anyone installing packages looks to see what *exactly* is happening to the system | 04:27 |
| delt | holstein: good point, that was kind of stupid ..good thing i was able to fix it :D | 04:28 |
| holstein | delt: i didnt see that anything was broken | 04:29 |
| delt | holstein: do you happen to know where to edit/add/remove the entries in the desktop-environment selection on the login screen? | 04:49 |
| holstein | delt: you can remove the sessions, but the only thing that will free up is hard drive space | 04:49 |
| delt | i just don't want a cluttered up menu with duplicate entries | 04:49 |
| holstein | delt: i mean, how often do you even see that menu, right? | 04:50 |
| delt | anyway it's no big deal | 04:50 |
| delt | like you said =) | 04:50 |
| holstein | delt: you can try http://askubuntu.com/questions/111010/how-do-i-remove-some-sessions-from-the-session-list-in-xubuntu | 04:51 |
| delt | ah, /usr/share/sessions | 04:53 |
| delt | except there is no such directory on my system | 04:54 |
| holstein | delt: im sure you can sort it out, now that you know they are referred to as "sessions".. | 04:54 |
| delt | :) | 04:55 |
| delt | ah, /usr/share/xsessions | 05:01 |
| delt | i aer stipud :3 | 05:01 |
| taifunorkan | Hello, seems to be, that I hosed my sources list. Ubutu Studio 12.04 LTS. PlS Help! | 08:51 |
| taifunorkan | I once updated the list with kxstudio, was interested in additional apps for audio. Puuh. | 09:12 |
| taifunorkan | Now no updates any more. | 09:12 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 09:15 |
| taifunorkan | This is what I tried, but made it worse. | 09:15 |
| taifunorkan | xequence, thanx for helping. | 09:15 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: don't add "proposed" | 09:16 |
| xequence | it's not meant for humans | 09:16 |
| taifunorkan | Yes I know, a real mistake. | 09:17 |
| xequence | What is it you tried? | 09:17 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: Which country do you live in? | 09:18 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: Also, before continuing, I'd just like to make sure you are really running 12.04. Do this in a terminal: cat /etc/issue | 09:19 |
| taifunorkan | xequence: Sources.list | 09:19 |
| taifunorkan | http://pastie.org/8631920 | 09:19 |
| xequence | it's called sources.list | 09:19 |
| taifunorkan | Okay pls look at pastie | 09:20 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: Why do you have so many 3rd party repos? | 09:20 |
| taifunorkan | I did it with http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 09:21 |
| xequence | YEs, but why? | 09:21 |
| xequence | Adding unofficial 3rd party repos can break your system | 09:21 |
| taifunorkan | I don't need, I can deselect them | 09:21 |
| xequence | Is the file named correctly? It should be /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:22 |
| xequence | Could you paste the output from: sudo apt-get update | 09:22 |
| xequence | here http://paste.ubuntu.com | 09:22 |
| xequence | Or, where you pasted before, sorry :) | 09:23 |
| taifunorkan | Ubuntu Partner Repos. Is it okay | 09:23 |
| taifunorkan | ? | 09:23 |
| xequence | Yes | 09:23 |
| xequence | You get only a few things from there - if you decide to install them. | 09:23 |
| xequence | Things like Skype and Adobe Acrobat Reader | 09:23 |
| xequence | ALl of the official Ubuntu repos are ok. proposed is bad, because it is a repo where packages are uploaded before official release. They can be full of errors | 09:24 |
| xequence | proposed is only used for testing packages before release, and usually only about 1-2 weeks before release | 09:25 |
| taifunorkan | xequence: Here you are http://paste.ubuntu.com/6749492/ | 09:25 |
| taifunorkan | I would like to have Skype later, no Adobe reader. | 09:26 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: Looks ok. But, I personally don't see the point in so many 3rd party repos. The more you use, and the more they replace your system, the likelier it is you will have problems | 09:26 |
| xequence | I would do a fresh install, then not add any repos unless you really need them | 09:26 |
| taifunorkan | O no, pls no fresh install. | 09:27 |
| taifunorkan | 3rd parties, I mean audacity and banshee, would like to have, vlc maybe. | 09:27 |
| taifunorkan | Why not. | 09:27 |
| xequence | What happens when you do: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:27 |
| taifunorkan | okay | 09:28 |
| xequence | all of those are available in the official repos | 09:28 |
| xequence | No need to add 3rd party repos | 09:28 |
| taifunorkan | okay | 09:28 |
| taifunorkan | Sorry text in German. Pls have a look. I can translate: http://pastie.org/8631939 | 09:29 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: I can read it | 09:30 |
| xequence | There's a conflict in dependencies | 09:30 |
| taifunorkan | Best friend :) | 09:30 |
| xequence | did you try: sudo apt-get install -f | 09:30 |
| taifunorkan | Yes for gimp? | 09:30 |
| taifunorkan | Yes but wait. | 09:31 |
| taifunorkan | http://pastie.org/8631945 | 09:32 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: Try uninstalling gimp-plugin-registry | 09:33 |
| taifunorkan | Okay, pls advice howto | 09:33 |
| xequence | sudo apt-get remove gimp-plugin-registry | 09:34 |
| xequence | I still recommend a fresh install. Only takes a few minutes. This may take you longer | 09:34 |
| xequence | A good tip is to keep user files in a seperate partition | 09:34 |
| xequence | you can create one during installation, and have it auto-mounted. You can specify your own path, such as /data, instead of /home | 09:35 |
| taifunorkan | http://pastie.org/8631952 | 09:35 |
| taifunorkan | Seems to work. | 09:36 |
| xequence | Uninstalling will always work | 09:36 |
| xequence | Now, try to update again | 09:36 |
| xequence | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:36 |
| xequence | that will upgrade your whole system, btw | 09:36 |
| xequence | and don't worry about uninstalling ubuntustudio-* packages. They are only meta packages. Uninstalling them will not remove their dependencies | 09:37 |
| taifunorkan | http://pastie.org/8631957 | 09:37 |
| xequence | no: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:38 |
| xequence | we already updated the package list before | 09:38 |
| taifunorkan | You mean reinstall the complete distro? | 09:38 |
| xequence | no, I mean upgrade the system, like we tried before | 09:38 |
| xequence | Then, if that doesn't work, I would do a fresh install | 09:39 |
| taifunorkan | A fersh install of complete ubuntu studio | 09:40 |
| taifunorkan | ? | 09:40 |
| xequence | First, try the command: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:40 |
| xequence | And if that doesn't work, then I would recommend a fresh install of whatever OS it is that you prefer | 09:40 |
| taifunorkan | Good. I first hat the thought I shouldn't have added kxstudio repos. | 09:41 |
| taifunorkan | Then I got trouble with audacious. | 09:41 |
| xequence | As I explained, that command will upgrade the whole system. Not to a newer release. Just to the latest version of packages | 09:41 |
| taifunorkan | Yes it is working, I am jus chatting, sorry. | 09:42 |
| taifunorkan | xequence: I just need a pause. Are you still here in twenty minutes? The upgrade is still running. | 09:49 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: I will be a bit busy further on, but it seems the upgrade is working fine | 09:50 |
| taifunorkan | Okay | 09:50 |
| xequence | If you continue to have problems, reinstall | 09:50 |
| taifunorkan | xequence: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6749700/ I hope this is right? Last glance. | 10:20 |
| xequence | taifunorkan: Looks good yes. But, again, it is likely you will have more problems in the future | 10:24 |
| xequence | because of the big number of 3rd party repos | 10:24 |
| xequence | They change the system. What you have now is not strictly Ubuntu Studio anymore | 10:24 |
| taifunorkan | Can I deinstall this ressources | 10:25 |
| xequence | I don't know how, other than removing the repos, and then reinstalling all of the packages | 10:25 |
| taifunorkan | okay | 10:26 |
| xequence | Easier, and faster to reinstall | 10:26 |
| taifunorkan | Thank you very much. | 10:26 |
| taifunorkan | Byr then. | 10:26 |
| taifunorkan | Bye then | 10:26 |
| xequence | Have fun :) | 10:26 |
| MaynardW1ters | holstein: remember our brief chat about my eeepc and upgrading to 12.04 | 14:58 |
| MaynardW1ters | I was never able to get the install even going, I was considering trying the 13/14LTS pre release, any thoughts or opinions on that? | 14:58 |
| delt | Here's a good one: where is it stored which was the last session i opened? I thought it was ~/.dmrc, but changing that file doesn't seem to affect which one is selected by default. | 15:19 |
| step1_ | Hallo, can somebody give me some help with ubuntu studio? | 21:16 |
| holstein | MaynardW1ters: i do.. did you try it? | 22:16 |
