[02:04] hi [02:23] 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] had to manually edit config files to disable auto-login [02:24] ping holstein [02:24] btw, how do you edit/add/remove the entries in the desktop-environment selection on the login screen? [02:24] and decide which is the default for auto-login? [02:25] Default should be in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ or /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [02:26] isn't that per user? [02:26] should be in my home dir somewhere...? [02:54] ah found it, ~/.dmrc [04:26] MaynardW1ters: hey [04:27] delt: i usually suggest, when folks come here *before* installing extra packages, to install lxde instead of lubuntu-desktop [04:27] 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] holstein: good point, that was kind of stupid ..good thing i was able to fix it :D [04:29] delt: i didnt see that anything was broken [04:49] holstein: do you happen to know where to edit/add/remove the entries in the desktop-environment selection on the login screen? [04:49] delt: you can remove the sessions, but the only thing that will free up is hard drive space [04:49] i just don't want a cluttered up menu with duplicate entries [04:50] delt: i mean, how often do you even see that menu, right? [04:50] anyway it's no big deal [04:50] like you said =) [04:51] delt: you can try http://askubuntu.com/questions/111010/how-do-i-remove-some-sessions-from-the-session-list-in-xubuntu [04:53] ah, /usr/share/sessions [04:54] except there is no such directory on my system [04:54] delt: im sure you can sort it out, now that you know they are referred to as "sessions".. [04:55] :) [05:01] ah, /usr/share/xsessions [05:01] i aer stipud :3 [08:51] Hello, seems to be, that I hosed my sources list. Ubutu Studio 12.04 LTS. PlS Help! [09:12] I once updated the list with kxstudio, was interested in additional apps for audio. Puuh. [09:12] Now no updates any more. [09:15] taifunorkan: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [09:15] This is what I tried, but made it worse. [09:15] xequence, thanx for helping. [09:16] taifunorkan: don't add "proposed" [09:16] it's not meant for humans [09:17] Yes I know, a real mistake. [09:17] What is it you tried? [09:18] taifunorkan: Which country do you live in? [09:19] 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] xequence: Sources.list [09:19] http://pastie.org/8631920 [09:19] it's called sources.list [09:20] Okay pls look at pastie [09:20] taifunorkan: Why do you have so many 3rd party repos? [09:21] I did it with http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [09:21] YEs, but why? [09:21] Adding unofficial 3rd party repos can break your system [09:21] I don't need, I can deselect them [09:22] Is the file named correctly? It should be /etc/apt/sources.list [09:22] Could you paste the output from: sudo apt-get update [09:22] here http://paste.ubuntu.com [09:23] Or, where you pasted before, sorry :) [09:23] Ubuntu Partner Repos. Is it okay [09:23] ? [09:23] Yes [09:23] You get only a few things from there - if you decide to install them. [09:23] Things like Skype and Adobe Acrobat Reader [09:24] 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] proposed is only used for testing packages before release, and usually only about 1-2 weeks before release [09:25] xequence: Here you are http://paste.ubuntu.com/6749492/ [09:26] I would like to have Skype later, no Adobe reader. [09:26] 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] I would do a fresh install, then not add any repos unless you really need them [09:27] O no, pls no fresh install. [09:27] 3rd parties, I mean audacity and banshee, would like to have, vlc maybe. [09:27] Why not. [09:27] What happens when you do: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:28] okay [09:28] all of those are available in the official repos [09:28] No need to add 3rd party repos [09:28] okay [09:29] Sorry text in German. Pls have a look. I can translate: http://pastie.org/8631939 [09:30] taifunorkan: I can read it [09:30] There's a conflict in dependencies [09:30] Best friend :) [09:30] did you try: sudo apt-get install -f [09:30] Yes for gimp? [09:31] Yes but wait. [09:32] http://pastie.org/8631945 [09:33] taifunorkan: Try uninstalling gimp-plugin-registry [09:33] Okay, pls advice howto [09:34] sudo apt-get remove gimp-plugin-registry [09:34] I still recommend a fresh install. Only takes a few minutes. This may take you longer [09:34] A good tip is to keep user files in a seperate partition [09:35] 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] http://pastie.org/8631952 [09:36] Seems to work. [09:36] Uninstalling will always work [09:36] Now, try to update again [09:36] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:36] that will upgrade your whole system, btw [09:37] and don't worry about uninstalling ubuntustudio-* packages. They are only meta packages. Uninstalling them will not remove their dependencies [09:37] http://pastie.org/8631957 [09:38] no: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:38] we already updated the package list before [09:38] You mean reinstall the complete distro? [09:38] no, I mean upgrade the system, like we tried before [09:39] Then, if that doesn't work, I would do a fresh install [09:40] A fersh install of complete ubuntu studio [09:40] ? [09:40] First, try the command: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:40] And if that doesn't work, then I would recommend a fresh install of whatever OS it is that you prefer [09:41] Good. I first hat the thought I shouldn't have added kxstudio repos. [09:41] Then I got trouble with audacious. [09:41] As I explained, that command will upgrade the whole system. Not to a newer release. Just to the latest version of packages [09:42] Yes it is working, I am jus chatting, sorry. [09:49] xequence: I just need a pause. Are you still here in twenty minutes? The upgrade is still running. [09:50] taifunorkan: I will be a bit busy further on, but it seems the upgrade is working fine [09:50] Okay [09:50] If you continue to have problems, reinstall [10:20] xequence: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6749700/ I hope this is right? Last glance. [10:24] taifunorkan: Looks good yes. But, again, it is likely you will have more problems in the future [10:24] because of the big number of 3rd party repos [10:24] They change the system. What you have now is not strictly Ubuntu Studio anymore [10:25] Can I deinstall this ressources [10:25] I don't know how, other than removing the repos, and then reinstalling all of the packages [10:26] okay [10:26] Easier, and faster to reinstall [10:26] Thank you very much. [10:26] Byr then. [10:26] Bye then [10:26] Have fun :) [14:58] holstein: remember our brief chat about my eeepc and upgrading to 12.04 [14:58] 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] 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] Hallo, can somebody give me some help with ubuntu studio? [22:16] MaynardW1ters: i do.. did you try it?
