Unit193 | Howdy, Fred. | 01:46 |
wrst | hey hey FredN | 01:51 |
FredN | hi wrst | 01:51 |
wrst | Unit193: i downloaded 14.04 | 01:51 |
Unit193 | And? | 01:52 |
wrst | how are you doing? | 01:52 |
wrst | havent looked at it yet | 01:52 |
Unit193 | They're starting to reather bother me again. :/ | 01:53 |
Unit193 | I've looked at Lubuntu and Xubuntu, but none of the others. :P | 01:53 |
wrst | Unit193: bother you how? | 01:53 |
wrst | FredN: all going well? | 01:53 |
FredN | i am having a self-inflicted issue | 01:53 |
Unit193 | Little pain, any clothes touching them, etc. | 01:54 |
FredN | i tried to create/modify .pam_environment | 01:54 |
wrst | ahh staples... not ubuntu | 01:54 |
wrst | FredN: what does that do? | 01:54 |
FredN | funky syntax wouldn't let me login | 01:54 |
wrst | thats not good :) | 01:55 |
FredN | it's a file that sets environment variables on startup | 01:55 |
FredN | well i managed to get to it in recovery mode with the shell | 01:55 |
FredN | and erase the variables i made | 01:56 |
wrst | that can be handy | 01:56 |
FredN | also renamed the file | 01:56 |
FredN | still can't login haha | 01:56 |
FredN | i'm in as a guest right now | 01:56 |
FredN | been trying to figure out what else i messed up | 01:58 |
wrst | i bet Unit193 can help if the pain meds haven't kicked in | 01:59 |
Unit193 | Haven't taken any. | 01:59 |
Unit193 | .{ICE,X}authority? What happens exactly? Looked at logs? | 02:00 |
FredN | what is .{ICE,X} | 02:01 |
Unit193 | Means I'm too lazy to type out .Xauthority and .ICEauthority. | 02:02 |
FredN | oh i see haha | 02:02 |
Unit193 | If the GUI hangs after logging in, use <ctrl><alt><f1> to switch to text mode. Log in and do: rm .{X,ICE}authority | 02:02 |
wrst | Unit193: you always have the answer even after being cut on | 02:05 |
FredN | Ok when I try to login the problem that keeps coming up is various commands cannot be located because /bin is not in my path | 02:12 |
wrst | something I think like this will fix it temporarily: | 02:21 |
wrst | export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin | 02:21 |
wrst | howdy Omnifrog | 02:30 |
Omnifrog | hi wrst | 02:30 |
FredN | My path was changed to something I recently installed | 02:44 |
FredN | I used export PATH | 02:44 |
Unit193 | So you null'd it? | 03:02 |
FredN | I am about to see if this works | 03:14 |
FredN | using export PATH made a big difference in my level of control | 03:15 |
FredN | so I think I actually did what I needed to | 03:15 |
FredN | Seems fixed :D | 03:18 |
wrst | Unit193: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbzpezyly9tx4ob/IMG_20140224_211732.jpg | 03:18 |
FredN | Thanks for the help guys. Good night | 03:19 |
wrst | FredN: if you did what i posted i dont think that will stick after rebooting | 03:19 |
wrst | Omnifrog: how is the grandbaby doing? | 03:19 |
FredN | wrst I did the sticky version | 03:20 |
Omnifrog | doing great! | 03:20 |
Unit193 | wrst: 3 minutes? | 03:20 |
Unit193 | 30? | 03:20 |
FredN | but I used the temporary version to make it stick | 03:20 |
Omnifrog | the kids were over yesterday | 03:20 |
Omnifrog | Madelyn had the hickups | 03:20 |
wrst | Unit193: ?? | 03:21 |
Omnifrog | is was adorable | 03:21 |
wrst | cool :) | 03:21 |
Unit193 | How long it lasts. :P | 03:21 |
wrst | oh its going on the spinning drive | 03:21 |
wrst | not ssd | 03:21 |
wrst | so certainly not primary | 03:21 |
wrst | ok yeah the shopping lens is horrible, nothing like having someone half naked on your search results the very first time you use an OS | 03:38 |
Unit193 | 0_o | 03:38 |
wrst | yeah Unit193 you may be correct may not last for long because that is absolute garbage | 03:39 |
wrst | oh and Unit193 apt is slow :P | 03:41 |
Unit193 | Meh. | 03:41 |
wrst | but its fine, the other stuff is not good | 03:44 |
wrst | and it does alot too, pacman does nothing other than install stuff | 03:44 |
wrst | well Unit193 this is like windows 98 just spent 20 mintues searching how to get rid of bloat/crapware | 03:51 |
Unit193 | wrst: In the settings thingy there's a privacy thingy, select the thingy. | 03:52 |
wrst | it kept locking up | 03:55 |
wrst | now I can select it :) | 03:55 |
wrst | go figure | 03:56 |
wrst | but I wanted the stuff gone didn't want to disable it anyway | 03:57 |
wrst | ok Unit193, when you get all the junk off the desktop its not so bad | 11:27 |
wrst | its actually fairly nice | 11:27 |
wrst | Unit193: so... feeling better today? | 21:40 |
Unit193 | 'bout the same for now. | 21:43 |
wrst | from what I understand you should start feeling better progressively a few days after? so hopefully you are getting close | 21:44 |
Unit193 | Slowly, but nevertheless. | 22:20 |
wrst | way too slowly no doubt | 22:21 |
