xubuntu119Anyone using Xubuntu with LTSP?02:18
holsteinxubuntu119: is set it up as a test *way* back.. like 9.10? or 9.0402:18
holsteini set*02:18
xubuntu119It boots fine....but I want to lock the desktop and other things02:21
xubuntu119The issue I have...strange....when I adduser at the server command line , it does not create a home folder02:21
holsteinxubuntu119: back then, i used pesselus and other nice tricks in gnome202:21
holsteinxubuntu119: so far, i have been assured we dont need those tools anymore, and, if i were able/inclined, i would make them myself.. however, i used a few alternatives in xfce02:22
xubuntu119but the client boots OK....but any settings are lost are reboot...they do not persist02:22
holsteinxubuntu119: read-only areas of the config, and filesytem were OK for my needs02:22
xubuntu553hi. i was wondering if someone can help trying to get 1920x1080 to work on my 60" lcd television, through a non-EDID VGA port03:39
holsteinxubuntu553: i never made that work, after updating a driver.. an nvidia driver03:45
holsteinxubuntu553: you are trying a custom xorg.conf? what issues are you seeing? have you tried just setting it in arandr?03:46
xubuntu553i've already spent hours trying to figure it out.  so far, the most progress i've made was to follow these instructions:03:47
xubuntu553http://samuelmartin.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/enabling-resolutions-in-ubuntu-12-04-lubuntu-12-04/03:47
xubuntu553but i've only been able to get 720p to work03:47
holsteinxubuntu553: well, since you've only been at it hours, maybe there is still a chance03:48
xubuntu553is 10-monitor.conf same/similar to xorg.conf?03:49
xubuntu553ha03:49
holsteinxubuntu553: have you tried arandr?03:49
xubuntu553no, i haven't03:49
xubuntu553(thanks for chatting, btw)03:49
holsteinxubuntu553: try that first.. then,share what driver you are using03:49
xubuntu553ok, i have arandr running03:51
xubuntu553arandr doesn't seem to be any different than going to settings manager>display03:52
holsteinxubuntu553: try sitting the resolution with that tool03:52
holsteinxubuntu553: it could be, you are not going to be able to provide that resolution to that display03:52
xubuntu553but 1080 doesn't show as an option03:52
xubuntu553by following the link above, i was able to define 1280x720, and then subsequently select it.  i just don't know how to define 1080 so that it will show up as well03:54
holsteinxubuntu553: you can do it the same, but it may not work03:54
holsteinxubuntu553: you can share what driver you are using, and what xorg.conf you are using and where you got it03:54
xubuntu553do you have any possible explanations as to why it doesn't work?  okay let me get that info for you03:55
holsteinxubuntu553: i have *the* explantion. the hardware is not supporting the operating system you are using.. you likely were not promised that it would.. you were likely promised windows OS support03:56
holsteinso, you will need to tell the volunteers here what you are using.. what hardwrae, and what xorg.conf, and where you got it03:56
xubuntu553i'm using nvidia-304.  i have an integrated nforce 430 video card.  where can i find my xorg.conf?03:57
holstein!xorgconf03:57

martinrameHi, I'm trying to compile a program that links to lpthread, but I'm getting undefined references to functions of that library. Should I have to install something else? ldconfig -p shows libpthread.so.0 is installed.10:58

martinramebekks: how can I install them?11:25

ubottuGuest12932: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Trusty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal.12:25

xubuntu425Hi, I am working on xubuntu with a mac bluethooth keyboard and would like to remap the ctrl and command key. in ubuntu there is a simple gui option to do this but I was not able to figure out how this can be done in xubuntu. any ideas?12:33

cfhowlettkiwilinuxguy no worries12:43
xubuntu460--- got disconnected, hopefully nobody answered inbetween. My question was whether you can remap ctrl and command key in xubuntu somehow? the things I have found on the web didn't really work out...12:44

tarutiIs there a smaller xubuntu amd64 13.10 cd-image than the 842mb one?13:28
koegsif cd-size is the problem either use a dvd or a usb-stick :)13:29
tarutithe system does not boot from a usb-stick and no dvd-burner at hand13:29
cfhowlett!mini|taruti13:31
ubottutaruti: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD13:31
tarutiok, we'll use that13:32
user1790Xubuntu first timer here.14:22
cfhowlettuser1790 ask your ubuntu questions14:23
user1790I'm making a cutom menu that resembles ubuntu's session menu. Got stuck when adding session-action entries!14:24
user1790Shutdown, restart etc requires password if I put sudo shutdown -h now in to a script.14:25
user1790My plan was to make .desktop files, put them in /.local/share/applications, but these scripts would require password prompt. Any workaround to mimic xubuntu's action buttons?14:27
craigbass1976I have a file on a thumb drive.  A different user is logged in to xfce, so when I plug it in, that user has access to the files.  Is there a simple way through the GUI that will allow ME to have access?  I currently use ssh -Y craig@localhost thunar to get a browser up with my credentials.  I can't just drag a file over, I've found...14:57
cfhowlettcraigbass1976 are you the admin?  gksudo thunar should do it.15:00
craigbass1976cfhowlett, the craig account is an admin, but the one that's logged into XFCE isn't.15:06
craigbass1976cfhowlett, and... the file once I drag it over is going to be owned by root, not craig, right?15:08
cfhowlettcraigbass1976 as I understand it you can drag/drop from /user1 to /user2 but the original permissions apply.  ask in #ubuntu for more eyes on your problem.15:15
craigbass1976cfhowlett, I'm thinking I can just add myself (craig) to the other user's group.  All I need is read access anyway.15:18
cfhowlettcraigbass1976 sounds do-able.15:20
craigbass1976bah... 700 permissions when I plug it in.15:21

msuth1Hi there, I am having some trouble trying to install Xubuntu for the first time (me and the computer) on a USB stick on a computer that currently has no OS (brand new). I have used unetbootin to create a bootable USB stick using the 13.10 ISO that i downloaded. When I boot from the USB stick I get a blue UNETBOOTIN screen with default as the only option on the list. After the counter ticks down (or if I19:19
msuth1 click default) I get taken to a BusyBox shell. Where's the installer? What am I missing. Much thanks!19:19

junkaformat with fat32 filesystem and rewrite the iso on the usb19:22
=== Guest78494 is now known as Noskcaj_
msuth1Assuming junka's response was directed at me, the USB stick appears to be already formatted to "MS-DOS (FAT)". Is FAT32 different than MS-DOS (FAT)? Bear with me, this is a little out of my element.19:26
junkayes msuth1 it need FAT3219:28
junkaneeds*19:28
msuth1Thank you. I'm guessing the problem might have to do with me formatting the USB stick on my Mac. Does that make any sense?19:29
skribblezatchagood afternoon peoples.19:34
junkamsuth1, i dont think it's os problem but a filesystem one19:35
msuth1junka, sorry, what i meant was that mac os only offers "MS-DOS (FAT)" formatting, and not FAT32 by default. I'm just researching a workaround since you implied that "MS-DOS (FAT)" and "FAT32" are not the same19:38
junkamsuth1, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx19:40
msuth1I've confirmed through Disk Utility that I have reformatted to FAT32. Just using unetbootin to get the .iso on the USB then I will try again.19:46
junka:)19:47
msuth1@junka - it's working! I feel like a dolt for overlooking such a simple fix. I thought this was much more complicated! lol19:52
msuth1I'm sure you do this all the time, but I just want to let you know that I really appreciate that there are people like you in the world who will take their time to help a complete stranger19:53
junkacome visit us anytime ;)19:54
msuth1Sappy, I know, but you should feel good about yourself sir! Thanks again, have a good one.19:54
