[00:16] <christo_m> hello, trying to add more workspaces on a fresh install
[00:16] <christo_m> i right cilck and click "desktop pager" settings, and nothing is loading..
[00:16] <holstein> christo_m: of 14.04? 13.10?
[00:16] <christo_m> sorry, 13.10
[00:18] <christo_m> holstein: ??
[00:20] <holstein> christo_m: we are all volunteers here.. patience is appreciated
[00:20] <holstein> christo_m: do you have in your menu... the following..
[00:21] <holstein> preferences - openbox configuraiton manager
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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..
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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..
[00:30] <christo_m> holstein: im assuming i have to restart openbox for the config to read?
[00:30] <christo_m> perfect
[00:31] <holstein> christo_m: i would just logout and back in..
[14:37] <dean_jaser> Hello
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <zen_monkey> do i have to config anyything? maybe force it to use some old driver or such?
[17:29] <zen_monkey> how can i boot into safe graphics mode?
[17:32] <vn151502510> Not sure about booting, but you can press Ctrl Alt F1 to login without X, I guess so.
[17:34] <zen_monkey> it won't allow me to switch to a tty... seems to like crashing :D
[17:37] <vn151502510> your laptop is really old, cannot run on live cd, right?
[17:40] <zen_monkey> didn't even tried with 13.10, ubuntu 10.04 was the last thing working. And it's a server tower.
[17:42] <vn151502510> uhm, sorry, no experience, waiting for some pros :-(
[17:47] <zen_monkey> thanks anyway
[17:55] <wxl> aw, too bad, and i had the answer
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <zen_monkey> tried to got to a tty but got dragged back to the previous situation, nomodeset doesn't help
[19:57] <ianorlin> does it work if you turn autologin off?
[19:57] <ianorlin> also is your home encrypted?
[19:58] <zen_monkey> ianorlin, no encryption used, how can i do it from the cli?
[19:58] <Unit193> !xhangs
[19:59] <Unit193> Also, what do the logs say?
[20:01] <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?
[20:02] <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.)
[20:05] <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?
[20:07] <Unit193> utusan: Does it show up?  sudo lsblk -f
[20:07] <utusan> Unit193: it shows up in blkid
[20:08] <utusan> yes it does
[20:10] <Unit193> And the fs type is?
[20:10] <utusan> ext4
[20:10] <utusan> ├─sda1  ext4   gubu2   /
[20:12] <utusan> └─sda2  ext4   gdata2
[20:13] <Unit193> And when you try to mount manually?
[20:14] <utusan> I can manually mount it no problem
[20:17] <utusan> right now it's mounted as root,  let me login to another. brb  Unit193
[20:21] <zen_monkey> Unit193, ready, took the whole /var/log/ folder, any file in particular?
[20:22] <Unit193> zen_monkey: Generally xorg or syslog.
[20:22] <Unit193> utusan: Yeah, that may not show up when mounted and owned by another user.
[20:24] <utusan> Unit193: I'm using another one now but it's still not showing
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <Unit193> zen_monkey: Yep, that'd do it.
[20:27] <utusan> Unit193: not sure but looks like all file mgr I used are not showing it. be pcmanfm or dolphin or caja
[20:28] <zen_monkey> Unit193, and just in case... syslog... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7158879/ (gedit warned me of some weird chars upon open)
[20:29] <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.
[20:30] <Unit193> utusan: Normally you'd let the computer mount the thing, otherwise you can use -o user=foo,group=bar  with the mount line.
[20:34] <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.
[20:42] <utusan> Unit193: thanks anyway
[20:42] <Unit193> Sure, have fun.
[20:50] <zen_monkey> Unit193, what fo you mean with rebuilding it?
[20:50] <Unit193> Using `dkms`
[20:51] <zen_monkey> any chance that you could guide me or point to a tutorial?
[20:54] <Unit193> I don't suppose the manpage would be enough?
[20:55] <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.
[21:09] <zen_monkey> Unit193, as the card in question is waaay too old, wouln't be more usefull to give the open driver a go?
[21:10] <Unit193> That was the other option that I stated, yep.  That'd be the next step, or first step if you prefer.
[21:13] <zen_monkey> well, i'm new to this drivers thing and this one is like from a museum :P
[21:15] <zen_monkey> i've just read that fglrx doesn't support some "old" drivers on the ubuntu documentation
[21:43] <zen_monkey> Unit193, well g2g, i'll be back after some drivers playing
[21:43] <zen_monkey> thanks
