[02:04] <dietrichman> hi
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <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?
[02:25] <Unit193> Default should be in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ or /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[02:26] <delt> isn't that per user?
[02:26] <delt> should be in my home dir somewhere...?
[02:54] <delt> ah found it, ~/.dmrc
[04:26] <holstein> MaynardW1ters: hey
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <delt> holstein: good point, that was kind of stupid ..good thing i was able to fix it :D
[04:29] <holstein> delt: i didnt see that anything was broken
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <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 =)
[04:51] <holstein> delt: you can try http://askubuntu.com/questions/111010/how-do-i-remove-some-sessions-from-the-session-list-in-xubuntu
[04:53] <delt> ah, /usr/share/sessions
[04:54] <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"..
[04:55] <delt> :)
[05:01] <delt> ah, /usr/share/xsessions
[05:01] <delt> i aer stipud :3
[08:51] <taifunorkan> Hello, seems to be, that I hosed my sources list. Ubutu Studio 12.04 LTS. PlS Help!
[09:12] <taifunorkan> I once updated the list with kxstudio, was interested in additional apps for audio. Puuh.
[09:12] <taifunorkan> Now no updates any more.
[09:15] <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.
[09:16] <xequence> taifunorkan: don't add "proposed"
[09:16] <xequence> it's not meant for humans
[09:17] <taifunorkan> Yes I know, a real mistake.
[09:17] <xequence> What is it you tried?
[09:18] <xequence> taifunorkan: Which country do you live in?
[09:19] <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
[09:20] <taifunorkan> Okay pls look at pastie
[09:20] <xequence> taifunorkan: Why do you have so many 3rd party repos?
[09:21] <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
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <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/
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <taifunorkan> Sorry text in German. Pls have a look. I can translate: http://pastie.org/8631939
[09:30] <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?
[09:31] <taifunorkan> Yes but wait.
[09:32] <taifunorkan> http://pastie.org/8631945
[09:33] <xequence> taifunorkan: Try uninstalling gimp-plugin-registry
[09:33] <taifunorkan> Okay, pls advice howto
[09:34] <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
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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
[09:37] <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
[09:38] <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
[09:39] <xequence> Then, if that doesn't work, I would do a fresh install
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <taifunorkan> Yes it is working, I am jus chatting, sorry.
[09:49] <taifunorkan> xequence: I just need a pause. Are you still here in twenty minutes? The upgrade is still running.
[09:50] <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
[10:20] <taifunorkan> xequence: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6749700/ I hope this is right? Last glance.
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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 :)
[14:58] <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?
[15:19] <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.
[21:16] <step1_> Hallo, can somebody give me some help with ubuntu studio?
[22:16] <holstein> MaynardW1ters: i do.. did you try it?
