| weems | cannot open display | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| weems | but I did not kill xfce | 00:00 |
| weems | or the x server | 00:00 |
| weems | should I? | 00:00 |
| krytarik | weems: Terminal, not CLI. :P | 00:00 |
| weems | I cant do that | 00:00 |
| weems | because the UI wont load for me | 00:01 |
| krytarik | weems: That is, login, hit Super+T, and then. | 00:01 |
| krytarik | *log in | 00:01 |
| weems | now I dont see xfce login screen at all | 00:03 |
| weems | just cursor | 00:03 |
| weems | :p | 00:03 |
| krytarik | weems: How about just restarting then now? LOL | 00:03 |
| weems | thats what I did I just rebooted the computer | 00:03 |
| weems | and I didnt get xfce login screen like normal | 00:04 |
| weems | something must be up with lightdm | 00:04 |
| krytarik | weems: Then try restarting LightDM with "sudo service lightdm restart" from the CLI. | 00:05 |
| weems | start: job failed to start start: Job failed to start | 00:06 |
| weems | stop: Unknown instance start: Job failed to start | 00:06 |

| weems | ok will do much thanks | 00:13 |
| weems | @ krytarik | 00:13 |
| weems | says no process found | 00:14 |
| krytarik | weems: Then try again with "sudo service lightdm start", or just restart once more. | 00:29 |
| weems | stop:unknown Instance start:Job failed to Start | 00:30 |
| weems | again :/ | 00:30 |
| Unit193 | Tried checking xorg logs? | 00:31 |
| weems | hmm ok | 00:31 |
| weems | where is the log file | 00:32 |
| weems | ./usr/share ? | 00:32 |
| weems | ./X11? | 00:32 |
| krytarik | weems: "/var/log" - there you'll also find the LightDM logs. | 00:34 |
| weems | krytarik, thanks | 01:40 |
| weems | krytarik, unable to determine mouse pointer integration - request initialization failed with return code -4. | 01:44 |

| AussieDownUnder | I still don't know how to change the lock screen from xscreensaver to light-locker. I first installed light-locker from ubuntu software source & then again through the terminal. I can test it through the terminal but unsure of how to properly configure/activate it. | 02:09 |
| Unit193 | AussieDownUnder: What'd you do so far? | 02:17 |
| AussieDownUnder | added the ppa source through a terminal, updated apt, installed light-locker from the terminal. Ran "light-locker" in one terminal & then in another ran "light-licker-command -l" which brought me to a different lock out log in screen | 02:19 |
| AussieDownUnder | unit193, ^ | 02:19 |
| AussieDownUnder | unit193, I'm probably supposed to disable xscreensaver & set it to light-locker instead somehow right? xubuntu is starting to prove more of a challenge every day. | 02:20 |
| Unit193 | What were you expecting? | 02:20 |
| pac1_ | I have a desktop launcher with a generic icon (gears). I want to replace it with the app's true icon. I tried googling for where to put the icon and found advice for /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/, placing it there did not make it appear in the the properties emblems tab of the launcher. | 02:21 |
| Unit193 | light-locker uses the lightdm login manager as the lock screen. | 02:21 |
| AussieDownUnder | To change the log in screen after the pc locks to a different log in screen instead of xscreensaver | 02:21 |
| pac1_ | any further advice? | 02:21 |
| pac1_ | is there a way to set an icon to be used by any theme? | 02:24 |
| xubuntu794 | does anyone know how to make the username in the terminal a different color? It's really confusing to not be able to see | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu794: There should be a commented out section in .bashrc | 02:25 |
| xubuntu794 | @Unit193 Thank you so much!! | 02:26 |
| Unit193 | pac1_: Not done much, but ~/.icons/ might be used for some things. Any reason you can't browse to it? | 02:26 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu794: Sure. | 02:26 |
| pac1_ | Not in this case. | 02:28 |
| AussieDownUnder | unit193, I think I tried running lightdm from terminal but nothing came up, got me a link so I can self educate? | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | AussieDownUnder: The login screen. | 02:44 |
| SirLagz | I'm having issues with xubuntu - xfce4 doesn't seem to want to start up and keeps dumping me back to the greeter | 02:45 |
| SirLagz | i'm trying to work out what's crashing but can't seem to find anything to tell me what's dying =/ | 02:45 |
| AussieDownUnder | Format your hard drive | 02:45 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: a bit overkill don't you think ? :P | 02:46 |
| AussieDownUnder | Lol | 02:46 |
| AussieDownUnder | What did you do? | 02:46 |
| SirLagz | i didn't do anything =/ | 02:46 |
| SirLagz | was working last time i turned it on | 02:46 |
| SirLagz | then turned it on again a few days ago and it was doing this | 02:47 |
| SirLagz | at least I don't recall doing anything intentionally | 02:47 |
| Unit193 | !xhangs | 02:47 |
| ubottu | If the GUI hangs after logging in, use <ctrl><alt><f1> to switch to text mode. Log in and do: rm .{X,ICE}authority | 02:47 |
| SirLagz | ubottu: sorry, should have mentioned I tried that already. didn't work | 02:48 |
| ubottu | SirLagz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:48 |
| SirLagz | oops | 02:48 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: I've checked htat already | 02:48 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: plus, I can't actually use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a terminal...it keeps switching me back to the greeter for some reason | 02:49 |
| SirLagz | hmm just tried to login with root and it worked | 02:50 |
| Unit193 | 0_o | 02:52 |
| SirLagz | i am confused. | 02:52 |
| SirLagz | i actually logged in for a second...then it dropped me back to the greeter. GRR | 02:56 |
| AussieDownUnder | SirLagz, get your hard drive & put it in the microwave for 2 minutes | 02:56 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: no. | 02:56 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: I'm not sure work would appreciate me frying their microwave. :P | 02:57 |
| AussieDownUnder | SirLagz, but obviously don't really do that. What xubuntu version are you running & for how long have you had it installed? | 02:57 |
| Unit193 | SirLagz: And what about the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ ? | 02:57 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: 13.10. It was upgraded about a month ago from 13.04 | 02:57 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: I get a Stopping display server, no sessions require it | 02:58 |
| AussieDownUnder | SirLagz, when did this problem start happening & what were you doing to your pc around the time? What pc are you using right now to talk on irc? | 02:58 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: it started happening a few days ago when I turned the lappie on after not using for about a week or so | 02:58 |
| SirLagz | I have multiple machines to IRC on | 02:58 |
| AussieDownUnder | SirLagz, can you just boot into recovery mode & do something there? | 02:59 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: sure. | 02:59 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: something is sending a SIGTERM. I don't know what the process is sending it though as it's just showing the pid. I'm assuming it's lightdm though | 03:00 |
| AussieDownUnder | SirLagz, just run a defrib on the side vax & start the flux for a hyper jump | 03:04 |
| Unit193 | I don't think that's helping. | 03:05 |
| Unit193 | SirLagz: So, you didn't do anything weird with it? Guest account work? (Won't have any settings to mess stuff up except defaults.) | 03:05 |
| SirLagz | is there a way I can reset a user's session ? | 03:05 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: guest account doesn't work. | 03:06 |
| SirLagz | root does though | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | rm -r .cache/ .config/ but might want to just move the second one. | 03:06 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: already tried | 03:06 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: actually i didn't do both at once... | 03:06 |
| SirLagz | I'll try doing both at once | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | /var/lib/AccountsService/users/username | 03:07 |
| SirLagz | nope. did both and same thing | 03:07 |
| Unit193 | Nothing in any other logs either I take it? (dmesg, syslog, xorg.log) | 03:07 |
| SirLagz | nope | 03:08 |
| SirLagz | dmesg syslog and xorg.log all show up clean | 03:08 |
| SirLagz | just lightdm log has some interesting things in it...though I'm having trouble tracing the pid to a process because I can't swith to a terminal =/ | 03:08 |
| Unit193 | SSH? | 03:08 |
| SirLagz | can't ssh into it at the moment....I'm at work and I don't have anything to ssh into the laptop with lol | 03:09 |
| Unit193 | TTY shouldn't be going back to the login screen.. | 03:09 |
| SirLagz | indeed. | 03:09 |
| SirLagz | even if i log into xfce with root, then try to switch it's dumping me back to the greeter | 03:09 |
| SirLagz | hmm wonder if something's wrong with the disk | 03:10 |
| SirLagz | might do a fsck | 03:10 |
| AussieDownUnder | Just fresh install 14.04 alpha 2 over it all | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | Could try it live, sure. | 03:11 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: i'd rather not install an alpha. | 03:11 |
| SirLagz | Unit193: try 14.04 live ? | 03:12 |
| Unit193 | Well, that or 13.10 | 03:12 |
| SirLagz | true | 03:12 |
| AussieDownUnder | SirLagz, I'm running 14.04 | 03:12 |
| AussieDownUnder | daily | 03:12 |
| SirLagz | AussieDownUnder: that doesn't stop me from not wanting to install 14.04 :P | 03:12 |
| SirLagz | i'm considering just dumping ubuntu altogether and switching to Arch | 03:13 |
| SirLagz | but steam support of ubuntu makes ubuntu so attractive lol | 03:13 |
| AussieDownUnder | Steam OS | 03:13 |
| SirLagz | fsck came up clean | 03:14 |
| SirLagz | hmm. Opening the browser as root crashes xfce and dumps me back to the greeter | 03:27 |
| SirLagz | that's probably what's causing it then | 03:28 |
| Unit193 | You have quite a crashy system there. | 03:30 |
| SirLagz | indeed | 03:31 |
| SirLagz | it wasn't this crashy before 13.10 lol | 03:31 |
| genii | ...And why are you running the browser as root? ... | 03:32 |
| SirLagz | genii: because I can't login as a normal user | 03:32 |
| AussieDownUnder | Fresh install | 03:32 |
| AussieDownUnder | & don't stuff with it | 03:33 |
| genii | Sounds like messed up permissions in the user's home dir | 03:33 |
| SirLagz | genii: same thing happens with a guest account | 03:33 |
| genii | SirLagz: Does it go out of the login screen at all then jump back ? | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | genii: Going to tty even dumps back to lightdm. | 03:35 |
| SirLagz | genii: yes | 03:35 |
| genii | Unit193: So ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't even present a text login screen? Or after they login it boots? | 03:36 |
| SirLagz | genii: ctrl-alt-f1 dumps me to a black screen, then back to the greeter | 03:36 |
| genii | That's very unusual, I'm not sure I've seen that before. Maybe once or twice if framebuffer was being used and not set to a resolution which the display could do | 03:37 |
| SirLagz | genii: but I can login to Openbox as my normal user | 03:37 |
| SirLagz | so it's something to do with xfce or something to do with my xfce session that i assume is saved | 03:38 |
| SirLagz | oh hey...i'm in TTY now. wtf =/ | 03:38 |
| genii | Hm. | 03:39 |
| Unit193 | Quite. | 03:39 |
| SirLagz | and now i can't get into TTY after restarting lightdm | 03:39 |
| SirLagz | *sigh* maybe a full reinstall would be the best solution =/ | 03:40 |
| SirLagz | lets do something stupid. Let's install xephyr to have a nested xserver and see what happens | 03:46 |
| SirLagz | something to do with the startxfce4 script is killing something | 03:59 |
| SirLagz | woooooooooooooooooooo i logged in ! | 04:04 |
| SirLagz | i have no idea why it's fixed now =/ | 04:04 |
| AussieDownUnder | Maybe it just lagged sir? | 04:11 |
| * genii ponders if this is some P-I or P-II machine | 04:13 | |
| us_0gb | 𝝿? | 04:15 |
| genii | us_0gb: No thanks, I have coffee | 04:16 |
| AussieDownUnder | I'm Vegan I don't drink coffee | 04:17 |
| AussieDownUnder | I shelve it, absorbs quicker | 04:17 |
| us_0gb | Suit yourself then. If you change your mind, it will be over here on the table. | 04:17 |
| AussieDownUnder | Is there going to be a vegan release of xubuntu that runs on love instead of electricity? | 04:33 |
| AussieDownUnder | My apologies, wrong channel, thought I was in the offtopic. | 04:34 |
| AussieDownUnder | So if I want to check the version of say xbmc from the stock repositories before installing it. What terminal command could I use to see what version it will be? | 04:44 |
| Unit193 | apt-cache policy xbmc (or s/policy/madison/) | 04:45 |
| retry | the torrent for latest ubuntu 12.04 LTS is .4 but the mirror link for USA points to .3 | 04:45 |
| retry | where are the .4 iso's ? | 04:46 |
| retry | oh you know, it's only the USA mirror that's behind | 04:46 |
| retry | other mirrors have .4 point release...so nm | 04:47 |
| retry | someone may want to update the US mirror though | 04:47 |
| SirLagz | genii: it's an AMD A4 machine | 05:13 |
| SirLagz | now to attempt to reinstall the ati drivers and hope it doesn't break everything | 05:14 |
| SirLagz | and it seems to be ok. woot | 05:39 |

| jozefk | Is xubuntu developed and supported by canonical? | 07:28 |
| cfhowlett | jozefk, yes | 07:29 |
| cfhowlett | !xubuntu | 07:29 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 07:29 |
| jozefk | Is it also LTS? | 07:29 |
| Unit193 | Community developed, and what do you mean by "supported"? | 07:30 |
| Unit193 | 3 year LTS. | 07:30 |
| jozefk | Is Ubuntu community developed? | 07:30 |
| Noskcaj | jozefk, yes | 07:31 |
| jozefk | 3 years. So if I do install xubuntu desktop on Ubuntu 12.04 it will last one more year from now on right? | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | Might as well wait for 14.04 at this point, but yes. | 07:31 |
| Noskcaj | It will be supported for that long, yes | 07:31 |
| jozefk | OK. Good. By support I means updates to the system | 07:32 |
| jozefk | Mean* | 07:32 |
| Noskcaj | yeah | 07:32 |
| Unit193 | Canonical provides the infrastructure, but as far as I know doesn't do paid Xubuntu support. | 07:33 |

| serranellus | hi everybody! | 11:46 |
| serranellus | does any geek want to explain me why should xubuntu run slower than ubuntu on my old notebook? | 11:47 |
| serranellus | could it be a driver or architecture problem? | 11:48 |
| serranellus | the processor is an AMD Mobile Sempron 3000+ / 1.8 GHz | 11:51 |
| serranellus | ram 512 Mb | 11:51 |
| serranellus | the live cd of xubuntu was unbelivably slow, so I choosed the alternate way, but the result is still lag/bug/annoying | 11:53 |
| serranellus | unbeliveably | 11:56 |
| === SirLagz_ is now known as SirLagz | ||
| Unit193 | 512 isn't a lot to work with, but unity should be pretty unusably slow there as well. Have you looked over at Lubuntu btw? | 11:58 |
| SirLagz | Xfce works well with less ram | 11:58 |
| SirLagz | so Xubuntu | 11:58 |
| SirLagz | just booted up my Xubuntu Laptop and it's sitting on 312 MB of ram used | 11:59 |
| serranellus | I'll try Lubuntu, maybe. Thx Unit193. However as SirLagz said xfce should be a good choice | 11:59 |
| serranellus | is there a way to examine what's wrong with it? | 12:00 |
| SirLagz | serranellus: how much RAM is it using at the moment | 12:00 |
| Unit193 | You can turn off the compositor for one, but that's not going to help all that much. | 12:01 |
| SirLagz | not that there's much of a compositor in XFCE anyway | 12:02 |
| serranellus | I'm trying to know about the ram usage... | 12:02 |
| SirLagz | serranellus: free -h in a terminal will tell you | 12:02 |
| SirLagz | serranellus: or add in the applet for mem usage | 12:03 |
| serranellus | now I'm performing a reboot. And I have to go having lunch. | 12:04 |
| serranellus | Thanks a lot, I'll come back in few time. | 12:04 |

| John_John_ | how to start a graphical editor from terminal in xubuntu 13.10 ? | 15:44 |
| John_John_ | i don't wanna use vim | 15:44 |
| koegs | John_John_: the standard-editor is "mousepad" | 15:46 |
| John_John_ | i tried to use that from terminal but after a couple of times it crashed for some reason | 15:47 |
| John_John_ | so its mousepad after all | 15:47 |
| koegs | you can use whatever editor you want, i prefer "geany" | 15:47 |
| John_John_ | can i install and run anything else ? | 15:47 |
| koegs | yes | 15:47 |
| John_John_ | and how can i then run it with a command from terminal ? | 15:47 |
| cfhowlett | john_JOHN of course. see the software center options | 15:48 |
| John_John_ | wait please | 15:48 |
| John_John_ | ok i have just installed Geany and it runs fine from the menu but how do i make it run from the terminal also ? | 15:50 |
| John_John_ | so i run sudo geany /etc/hosts for example ? | 15:50 |
| John_John_ | it's already working that ! but when it runs the console gives me the following..how do i fix it ? (geany:3249): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/jsimeonidis/.config/ibus/bus is not root! | 15:52 |
| cfhowlett | John_John_, since it's a graphical editor, probably need to run gksudo geany | 15:53 |
| John_John_ | aha ok sorry i am new to linux :) | 15:53 |
| cfhowlett | John_John_, no worries | 15:53 |
| John_John_ | ok thanks it worked | 15:57 |
| John_John_ | one more detail | 15:57 |
| John_John_ | how can i still run geany without blocking the terminal window or without needing to press CTRL+C to unblock it ? | 15:58 |
| John_John_ | it's ok..if that's possible of course !! | 16:00 |
| koegs | John_John_: "geany test.txt &" | 16:00 |
| koegs | the & is important | 16:00 |

| iGor2 | I found also this : https://one.ubuntu.com/help/faq/what-should-i-do-if-authentication-fails-auth_failed-state/ The first solution, I don't know, I can't find any https://one.ubuntu.com/account/machines/ But the client says that this machine is authorized. For the token, I can't fine seahorse on a xubuntu... And I've run the .py script and get this result "Checking credentials... OK" | 17:58 |
| iGor2 | I've read somewhere about setting correctly the clock and timezone, but it's not the problem | 18:00 |
| iGor2 | bazhang : thank you, I'm trying this one too | 18:03 |
| iGor2 | GridCube : thank for your encouragments :) | 18:03 |

| p30n | hey all, quick question: is it easy to get netflix working in ubuntu and more specifically in a xubntu? :) | 21:12 |
| Sysi | quite easy | 21:13 |
| p30n | like through a browser addon for xbmc then or what? | 21:13 |
| alexforge | quit | 21:13 |
| * p30n quits | 21:13 | |
| baizon | p30n: 3 steps | 21:13 |
| Sysi | http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html | 21:13 |
| p30n | yea? | 21:14 |
| baizon | Sysi: or he can use the netflix app ;) | 21:14 |
| baizon | p30n: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-netflix-in-ubuntu-13-1013-04-using-ppa.html | 21:14 |
| knome | baizon, that does basically the same thing. | 21:14 |
| baizon | indeed | 21:15 |
| alexforge | meu ingles é pessimo alguem pt br | 21:15 |
| Sysi | baizon: it's exactly the same thing, except that you maybe also run firefox on wine | 21:15 |
| knome | !br | alexforge | 21:15 |

| p30n | will i get it running like inside the xbmc interface or do i have to multitask to some other "desktop" so to speak | 21:15 |
| alexforge | obrigsado | 21:16 |
| alexforge | ops obrigado | 21:16 |
| Sysi | p30n: you run it with your browser or an app that essentially is a browser opening fullscreen | 21:17 |
| alexforge | join #ubuntu-br | 21:17 |
| p30n | Sysi: from inside xbmc? sounds easy enough anyways | 21:17 |
| Sysi | p30n: no, webbrowser. Like Firefox | 21:18 |
| p30n | but my biggest problem then is that im stuck with OE to have my AMD fusion running flawless GPU acceleration in xbmc... | 21:18 |
| Sysi | I don't think you can use xbmc but I might be wrong | 21:18 |
| p30n | Sysi: oh ok, from X then or ? | 21:18 |
| p30n | ok | 21:18 |
| Sysi | but I'm pretty sure xbmc uses X too | 21:18 |
| p30n | yea | 21:19 |
| Sysi | wine should support GPU acceleration nowdays but your mileage may vary | 21:19 |
| p30n | well that is not the problem, the problem is playing back HD material inside xbmc on xubuntu | 21:19 |
| p30n | openelec with OSS drivers is the only distro that does it good on AMD fusion platforms | 21:20 |
| p30n | VDPAU | 21:20 |
| p30n | wonder why no1 has made a "real" xbmc addon for netflix and say spotify yet | 21:21 |
| baizon | p30n: adobe flash | 21:21 |
| p30n | shouldn't be that complicated, at least for netflix since as u say it can run inside a browser | 21:21 |
| p30n | baizon: afaik netflix don't use flash | 21:21 |
| Sysi | it wouldn't help with hardware acceleration anyway, because of silverlight | 21:21 |
| Sysi | you'd need to have netflix-people making the xbmc plugin like they do mobile apps | 21:22 |
| baizon | p30n: yeah sorry, its the Microsoft VC1AP (Silverlight) | 21:22 |
| p30n | well with a firefox addon or chrome addon for xbmc the problem would be solved no? | 21:22 |
| p30n | i cant even find a proper graphical broswer addon for xbmc | 21:23 |
| baizon | p30n: no, because the owner has to pay Microsoft for the licence | 21:23 |
| Sysi | actually there is an xbmc plugin, but it's gonna be exactly the same as using a browser | 21:23 |
| p30n | i would like to have it all inside the xbmc interface without need to revert to any other "desktop" so to speak | 21:23 |
| Sysi | no perf difference | 21:23 |
| p30n | Sysi: which one? | 21:23 |
| p30n | baizon: pipelight? | 21:23 |
| Sysi | http://lifehacker.com/netflixbmc-brings-a-better-remote-controlled-netflix-t-1484237283 | 21:24 |
| baizon | p30n: "Pipelight consists out of two parts: A Linux library which is loaded into the browser and a Windows program started in Wine. The Windows program, called pluginloader.exe, simply simulates a browser and loads the Silverlight DLLs." | 21:25 |
| p30n | oh ok | 21:25 |
| p30n | Sysi: that looks like a great solution ill dig into it now | 21:25 |
| p30n | i guess its not that easy to get that guide working on a open elec install | 21:28 |

| xubuntu216 | this is the problem that affects people with windows 8 installed on an SSD | 22:24 |
| panxs | EFI BIOS settings ?? &&&& might try to run G-Part from 64-bit installer DVD. it should SCAN all known partition types. | 22:26 |

| Unit193 | So yeah, looks like that should be fixed in Saucy... | 22:34 |
| Unit193 | I presume that's what you're trying? | 22:34 |
| xubuntu216 | yep, fix worked | 22:38 |
| xubuntu216 | thanks, just needed to talk it out I guess | 22:38 |
| Unit193 | :) | 22:39 |
| panxs | ok got iT . i think you need 2 Disable Secure Boot in the UEFI "firmware" type interface. if u have done so, then GREAT. it just worked. killaz =:?) | 22:40 |
