| holstein | christo_m: we are all volunteers here.. patience is appreciated | 00:20 |
| holstein | christo_m: do you have in your menu... the following.. | 00:20 |
| holstein | preferences - openbox configuraiton manager | 00:21 |
| === duoi_afk is now known as duoi | ||
| holstein | then, under that "desktops".. thats where i find the settings that you seek | 00:21 |
| christo_m | yup | 00:21 |
| christo_m | got it | 00:21 |
| christo_m | can i set up shortcuts to switch between these workspaces also? | 00:21 |
| holstein | christo_m: try that, and let us konw if it works out | 00:21 |
| holstein | christo_m: there are shorcuts.. control+alt+ right and left arrow | 00:22 |
| christo_m | holstein: right, id like to configure my own | 00:22 |
| christo_m | alt+1,2,3,4 etc | 00:22 |
| holstein | christo_m: but, anything in the openbox config should work.. | 00:22 |
| christo_m | okay | 00:22 |
| holstein | christo_m: i grabbed my config from back when i was using crunchbang and really liked them.. and i have changed them a lot along the way | 00:22 |
| christo_m | it doesnt look like this config has key shortucts anywhere | 00:23 |
| holstein | christo_m: may not.. but, you can try adding what you like.. | 00:23 |
| christo_m | well how can i do that. | 00:24 |
| holstein | christo_m: what i did was, i grabbed the confif i liked from crunchbang, and i researched the changes i have made | 00:24 |
| holstein | http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings is probably a good start | 00:25 |
| christo_m | holstein: ? | 00:25 |
| christo_m | im in the gui | 00:25 |
| christo_m | where is the config located | 00:25 |
| holstein | Key and mouse bindings are created in your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file. | 00:25 |
| holstein | as per the link i gave.. | 00:25 |
| christo_m | holstein: im assuming i have to restart openbox for the config to read? | 00:30 |
| christo_m | perfect | 00:30 |
| holstein | christo_m: i would just logout and back in.. | 00:31 |

| dean_jaser | Hello | 14:37 |
| zen_monkey | Hi, I've installed Lubuntu 13.10 on an old poweredge 1300 server yesterday from the alternate cd and after rebooting i can't seem to get to the desktop. I get to see the wallpaper and cursor then the screen gets all black (x crash?) and again, and again | 17:15 |
| zen_monkey | do i have to config anyything? maybe force it to use some old driver or such? | 17:16 |
| === duoi_afk is now known as duoi | ||
| zen_monkey | how can i boot into safe graphics mode? | 17:29 |
| vn151502510 | Not sure about booting, but you can press Ctrl Alt F1 to login without X, I guess so. | 17:32 |
| zen_monkey | it won't allow me to switch to a tty... seems to like crashing :D | 17:34 |
| vn151502510 | your laptop is really old, cannot run on live cd, right? | 17:37 |
| zen_monkey | didn't even tried with 13.10, ubuntu 10.04 was the last thing working. And it's a server tower. | 17:40 |
| vn151502510 | uhm, sorry, no experience, waiting for some pros :-( | 17:42 |
| zen_monkey | thanks anyway | 17:47 |
| wxl | aw, too bad, and i had the answer | 17:55 |
| === duoi is now known as duoi_afk | ||
| zen_monkey | what can be done when x keeps crashing after plymouth? i have auto login enabled and after the loading dots y just see the wallpaper and cursor | 19:51 |
| zen_monkey | tried to got to a tty but got dragged back to the previous situation, nomodeset doesn't help | 19:52 |
| ianorlin | does it work if you turn autologin off? | 19:57 |
| ianorlin | also is your home encrypted? | 19:57 |
| zen_monkey | ianorlin, no encryption used, how can i do it from the cli? | 19:58 |
| Unit193 | !xhangs | 19:58 |
| 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 | 19:58 |
| Unit193 | Also, what do the logs say? | 19:59 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, it won't allow me to switch to a tty, i'm actually on the recovery root console updating everything just in case | 20:01 |
| zen_monkey | what logs you mean? | 20:01 |
| Unit193 | zen_monkey: That's strange indeed. You can do it there as well, or boot into text mode and do it from there. Logs, ~/.cache/upstart/, `dmesg`, or in /var/log/ (since you are not in the currently broken session, not dmesg.) | 20:02 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, ok, as soon as it finishes with the update i'll see what i find there | 20:05 |
| utusan | I have a gpt-formatted 2nd drive and the 1st part is not showing on places but the 2nd part is. any ideas? | 20:05 |
| Unit193 | utusan: Does it show up? sudo lsblk -f | 20:07 |
| utusan | Unit193: it shows up in blkid | 20:07 |
| utusan | yes it does | 20:08 |
| Unit193 | And the fs type is? | 20:10 |
| utusan | ext4 | 20:10 |
| utusan | ├─sda1 ext4 gubu2 / | 20:10 |
| utusan | └─sda2 ext4 gdata2 | 20:12 |
| Unit193 | And when you try to mount manually? | 20:13 |
| utusan | I can manually mount it no problem | 20:14 |
| utusan | right now it's mounted as root, let me login to another. brb Unit193 | 20:17 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, ready, took the whole /var/log/ folder, any file in particular? | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | zen_monkey: Generally xorg or syslog. | 20:22 |
| Unit193 | utusan: Yeah, that may not show up when mounted and owned by another user. | 20:22 |
| utusan | Unit193: I'm using another one now but it's still not showing | 20:24 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, here's Xorg.0.log.old http://paste.ubuntu.com/7158865/ | 20:25 |
| utusan | ├─sda1 ext4 ubu1 / | 20:25 |
| utusan | ├─sdb1 ext4 gubu2 | 20:25 |
| Unit193 | zen_monkey: Yep, that'd do it. | 20:26 |
| utusan | Unit193: not sure but looks like all file mgr I used are not showing it. be pcmanfm or dolphin or caja | 20:27 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, and just in case... syslog... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7158879/ (gedit warned me of some weird chars upon open) | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | zen_monkey: Weird, I had flgrx issues on trusty (which are fixed now), not saucy. So I'd recommend removing or rebuilding the fgrlx module. | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | utusan: Normally you'd let the computer mount the thing, otherwise you can use -o user=foo,group=bar with the mount line. | 20:30 |
| utusan | Unit193: I'm just curious why it's not showing up under places. I have several others (msdos, and 1 gpt) and they show up except this one. | 20:34 |
| utusan | Unit193: thanks anyway | 20:42 |
| Unit193 | Sure, have fun. | 20:42 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, what fo you mean with rebuilding it? | 20:50 |
| Unit193 | Using `dkms` | 20:50 |
| zen_monkey | any chance that you could guide me or point to a tutorial? | 20:51 |
| Unit193 | I don't suppose the manpage would be enough? | 20:54 |
| zen_monkey | i'll give it a read | 20:55 |
| zen_monkey | try* | 20:55 |
| Unit193 | Use dkms to remove the current one, then autoinstall (iirc) it again. | 20:55 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, as the card in question is waaay too old, wouln't be more usefull to give the open driver a go? | 21:09 |
| Unit193 | That was the other option that I stated, yep. That'd be the next step, or first step if you prefer. | 21:10 |
| zen_monkey | well, i'm new to this drivers thing and this one is like from a museum :P | 21:13 |
| zen_monkey | i've just read that fglrx doesn't support some "old" drivers on the ubuntu documentation | 21:15 |
| zen_monkey | Unit193, well g2g, i'll be back after some drivers playing | 21:43 |
| zen_monkey | thanks | 21:43 |
