| cub | TheDrums, I was trying to test the trusty iso form the instruction you wrote a couple of days ago | 11:27 |
|---|---|---|
| cub | but I'm not savvy enough to really understand what to do. :/ | 11:28 |
| TheDrums | OK, where are you? | 11:29 |
| TheDrums | +stuck | 11:30 |
| cub | well I got stuck already at "just echo the contents you see on bzr into it" | 11:30 |
| cub | I booted an iso on USB to test the shoft and F6, but did not get any boot command line either | 11:31 |
| TheDrums | Right, did you see the little icon at the bottom? | 11:32 |
| cub | a small white line in the bottom left, yes. Any icon, no. | 11:32 |
| cub | first I get the unetbootin menu though. Do I need to run this on an installed version? | 11:32 |
| TheDrums | Oooooooh! unetbootin breaks how the menu works, OK. Then there I think it's "Tab" to edit the boot line? | 11:34 |
| cub | hehe, aha. | 11:35 |
| TheDrums | http://smg.photobucket.com/user/griff_90/media/d9c03dfb.jpg.html is on CD, Vbox, and basically !unetbootin | 11:35 |
| TheDrums | The point of this is to create that file before any user has the option to login, so it needs to be created before lightdm first starts up. | 11:36 |
| cub | Ok, so after that I just write "text" ? | 11:36 |
| cub | create which file? the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntustudio.conf ? | 11:37 |
| TheDrums | Yep. | 11:38 |
| cub | So I will need to check what the file looks like in the bzr before I boot up, create the file and add everything in there. Then startx | 11:40 |
| cub | ah no, then sudo service lightdm start | 11:41 |
| TheDrums | Correct, for starting lightdm and the file. Easy thing to do, download it to a place you can easily wget it from. | 11:41 |
| cub | that would require network access though | 11:42 |
| zequence | you can also use a usb stick, mount it, then cp the file over | 11:43 |
| zequence | or from internal hard drive | 11:43 |
| cub | ok | 11:43 |
| cub | lunch break over, I will make another go later on again. :)' | 11:43 |
| TheDrums | zequence: Right, normally testing in vbox so I think wget first (And, generally have network anyway) | 11:50 |
| cub | so I could run it within a vbox without getting strange results? | 11:50 |
| zequence | cub: Yes. It's more or less the same deal | 12:53 |
| cub | TheDrums, no luck for me to get that text boot. | 19:10 |
| cub | Right away it shows a menu to choose language, then the "Try Ubuntu Studio wihtout installing" menu and directly after that it show the Ubuntu Studio logo with a spinning circle and booting | 19:11 |
| cub | no sign of the icons you showed in the screenshot, shift and F6 didn't do anything anywhere. | 19:11 |
| cub | Not sure what I'm doing wrong | 19:12 |
| zequence | We have the old menu | 19:14 |
| zequence | Could be why | 19:14 |
| zequence | We should probably think about changing it | 19:14 |
| cub | I suppose it is. Not sure how to circumvent it to do the test. I'd like to learn though | 19:22 |
| cub | I tried the different F6 Options but nothing that would give me a text boot .. so far. | 19:22 |
| cub | I think I got it... | 20:08 |
| cub | Alright, zequence, TheDrums, so how can I tell if my test was successful? :D After I put in the file and started lightdm I got the normal desktop. Perhaps that was the success? | 20:17 |
| TheDrums | zequence: I like the old menu better. :) | 20:17 |
| TheDrums | cub: Did you ever see the lightdm prompt? Are you in the UbuntuStudio session? | 20:17 |
| cub | After boot I only got a text prompt | 20:18 |
| cub | where I created the file, the service lightdm start, which loaded up the "normal" desktop | 20:18 |
| TheDrums | Then yep. | 20:18 |
| cub | what would have happened if it had failed? | 20:18 |
| TheDrums | You'd see the lightdm login screen, as it is now. | 20:19 |
| cub | right, no I never got the graphic login screen | 20:20 |
| cub | I assume that would have been the lightdm login screen? | 20:20 |
| TheDrums | Mhmm. | 20:20 |
| cub | cool, I learned something new today then. :) | 20:21 |
| TheDrums | Beta freeze has already hit, though. | 20:21 |
| TheDrums | s/Beta/Alpha2/ | 20:22 |
| kubotu | TheDrums meant: "Alpha2 freeze has already hit, though." | 20:22 |
| cub | but ubuntu studio is not part of the alphas, do it wouldn't make any change? | 20:24 |
| cub | what did this change fix? That users would get the lightdm login screen when booting into Live session? | 20:26 |
| TheDrums | Yes, and not only that, but normally get a different language and the Xfce session. | 20:29 |
| cub | aha | 20:37 |
| TheDrums | Also rather than submitting to you the Xubuntu Additional Drivers desktop file, I commented on the bug report and had it re-opened so hopefully you'll get it anyway. | 21:27 |
