[00:16] hello, trying to add more workspaces on a fresh install [00:16] i right cilck and click "desktop pager" settings, and nothing is loading.. [00:16] christo_m: of 14.04? 13.10? [00:16] sorry, 13.10 [00:18] holstein: ?? [00:20] christo_m: we are all volunteers here.. patience is appreciated [00:20] christo_m: do you have in your menu... the following.. [00:21] preferences - openbox configuraiton manager === duoi_afk is now known as duoi [00:21] then, under that "desktops".. thats where i find the settings that you seek [00:21] yup [00:21] got it [00:21] can i set up shortcuts to switch between these workspaces also? [00:21] christo_m: try that, and let us konw if it works out [00:22] christo_m: there are shorcuts.. control+alt+ right and left arrow [00:22] holstein: right, id like to configure my own [00:22] alt+1,2,3,4 etc [00:22] christo_m: but, anything in the openbox config should work.. [00:22] okay [00:22] 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 [00:23] it doesnt look like this config has key shortucts anywhere [00:23] christo_m: may not.. but, you can try adding what you like.. [00:24] well how can i do that. [00:24] christo_m: what i did was, i grabbed the confif i liked from crunchbang, and i researched the changes i have made [00:25] http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings is probably a good start [00:25] holstein: ? [00:25] im in the gui [00:25] where is the config located [00:25] Key and mouse bindings are created in your ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml file. [00:25] as per the link i gave.. [00:30] holstein: im assuming i have to restart openbox for the config to read? [00:30] perfect [00:31] christo_m: i would just logout and back in.. === AussieDownUnder is now known as newnick === newnick is now known as CyborgCygnus === duoi is now known as duoi_afk === duoi_afk is now known as duoi === duoi is now known as duoi_afk [14:37] Hello [17:15] 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 [17:16] do i have to config anyything? maybe force it to use some old driver or such? === duoi_afk is now known as duoi [17:29] how can i boot into safe graphics mode? [17:32] Not sure about booting, but you can press Ctrl Alt F1 to login without X, I guess so. [17:34] it won't allow me to switch to a tty... seems to like crashing :D [17:37] your laptop is really old, cannot run on live cd, right? [17:40] didn't even tried with 13.10, ubuntu 10.04 was the last thing working. And it's a server tower. [17:42] uhm, sorry, no experience, waiting for some pros :-( [17:47] thanks anyway [17:55] aw, too bad, and i had the answer === duoi is now known as duoi_afk [19:51] 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 [19:52] tried to got to a tty but got dragged back to the previous situation, nomodeset doesn't help [19:57] does it work if you turn autologin off? [19:57] also is your home encrypted? [19:58] ianorlin, no encryption used, how can i do it from the cli? [19:58] !xhangs [19:58] If the GUI hangs after logging in, use to switch to text mode. Log in and do: rm .{X,ICE}authority [19:59] Also, what do the logs say? [20:01] 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] what logs you mean? [20:02] 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.) [20:05] Unit193, ok, as soon as it finishes with the update i'll see what i find there [20:05] I have a gpt-formatted 2nd drive and the 1st part is not showing on places but the 2nd part is. any ideas? [20:07] utusan: Does it show up? sudo lsblk -f [20:07] Unit193: it shows up in blkid [20:08] yes it does [20:10] And the fs type is? [20:10] ext4 [20:10] ├─sda1 ext4 gubu2 / [20:12] └─sda2 ext4 gdata2 [20:13] And when you try to mount manually? [20:14] I can manually mount it no problem [20:17] right now it's mounted as root, let me login to another. brb Unit193 [20:21] Unit193, ready, took the whole /var/log/ folder, any file in particular? [20:22] zen_monkey: Generally xorg or syslog. [20:22] utusan: Yeah, that may not show up when mounted and owned by another user. [20:24] Unit193: I'm using another one now but it's still not showing [20:25] Unit193, here's Xorg.0.log.old http://paste.ubuntu.com/7158865/ [20:25] ├─sda1 ext4 ubu1 / [20:25] ├─sdb1 ext4 gubu2 [20:26] zen_monkey: Yep, that'd do it. [20:27] Unit193: not sure but looks like all file mgr I used are not showing it. be pcmanfm or dolphin or caja [20:28] Unit193, and just in case... syslog... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7158879/ (gedit warned me of some weird chars upon open) [20:29] 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. [20:30] utusan: Normally you'd let the computer mount the thing, otherwise you can use -o user=foo,group=bar with the mount line. [20:34] 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. [20:42] Unit193: thanks anyway [20:42] Sure, have fun. [20:50] Unit193, what fo you mean with rebuilding it? [20:50] Using `dkms` [20:51] any chance that you could guide me or point to a tutorial? [20:54] I don't suppose the manpage would be enough? [20:55] i'll give it a read [20:55] try* [20:55] Use dkms to remove the current one, then autoinstall (iirc) it again. [21:09] Unit193, as the card in question is waaay too old, wouln't be more usefull to give the open driver a go? [21:10] That was the other option that I stated, yep. That'd be the next step, or first step if you prefer. [21:13] well, i'm new to this drivers thing and this one is like from a museum :P [21:15] i've just read that fglrx doesn't support some "old" drivers on the ubuntu documentation [21:43] Unit193, well g2g, i'll be back after some drivers playing [21:43] thanks
