[01:44] <FredN> howdy all
[01:46] <Unit193> Howdy, Fred.
[01:51] <wrst> hey hey FredN
[01:51] <FredN> hi wrst
[01:51] <wrst> Unit193: i downloaded 14.04
[01:52] <Unit193> And?
[01:52] <wrst> how are you doing?
[01:52] <wrst> havent looked at it yet
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <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
[01:58] <FredN> been trying to figure out what else i messed up
[01:59] <wrst> i bet Unit193 can help if the pain meds haven't kicked in
[01:59] <Unit193> Haven't taken any.
[02:00] <Unit193> .{ICE,X}authority?  What happens exactly?  Looked at logs?
[02:01] <FredN> what is .{ICE,X}
[02:02] <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
[02:05] <wrst> Unit193: you always have the answer even after being cut on
[02:12] <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
[02:21] <wrst> something I think like this will fix it temporarily:
[02:21] <wrst> export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
[02:30] <wrst> howdy Omnifrog
[02:30] <Omnifrog> hi wrst
[02:44] <FredN> My path was changed to something I recently installed
[02:44] <FredN>  I used export PATH
[03:02] <Unit193> So you null'd it?
[03:14] <FredN> I am about to see if this works
[03:15] <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
[03:18] <FredN> Seems fixed :D
[03:18] <wrst> Unit193: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbzpezyly9tx4ob/IMG_20140224_211732.jpg
[03:19] <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?
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <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
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <wrst> yeah Unit193 you may be correct may not last for long because that is absolute garbage
[03:41] <wrst> oh and Unit193 apt is slow :P
[03:41] <Unit193> Meh.
[03:44] <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
[03:51] <wrst> well Unit193 this is like windows 98 just spent 20 mintues searching how to get rid of bloat/crapware
[03:52] <Unit193> wrst: In the settings thingy there's a privacy thingy, select the thingy.
[03:55] <wrst> it kept locking up
[03:55] <wrst> now I can select it :)
[03:56] <wrst> go figure
[03:57] <wrst> but I wanted the stuff gone didn't want to disable it anyway
[11:27] <wrst> ok Unit193, when you get all the junk off the desktop its not so bad
[11:27] <wrst> its actually fairly nice
[21:40] <wrst> Unit193: so... feeling better today?
[21:43] <Unit193> 'bout the same for now.
[21:44] <wrst> from what I understand you should start feeling better progressively a few days after? so hopefully you are getting close
[22:20] <Unit193> Slowly, but nevertheless.
[22:21] <wrst> way too slowly no doubt
