| henryC | I am trying to create a dual boot, wanting Win7 @ 300GB, Lubuntu @ 180GB (leaving room for swap). Win7 is set up but by default Lubuntu wants to share the 300G with Windows. | 07:19 |
|---|---|---|
| henryC | When I go to Advanced Settings, it's not clear to me how to make Lubuntu install in the other partition and leave my Win7 alone. Ideas? | 07:20 |
| henryC | I set up the partitions as the first step, with gparted. | 07:20 |
| henryC | Well I tried the default settings and it appears it did shrink my Win7 partition like I asked, but lubuntu is nowhere to be found. | 08:07 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 10:47 |
| MaxFrames | how do I configure lubuntu 14.04 to automatically launch applications for all users? namely, nm-applet and xscreensaver (which I installed) | 10:49 |
| MaxFrames | more importantly, is this an active channel? I've been here a dozen times already asking questions, no one ever answered or even talked, for that matter... | 10:51 |
| hateball | Most are asleep I guess | 10:53 |
| hateball | MaxFrames: Is this for new or existing users? | 10:54 |
| MaxFrames | both existing and new | 10:56 |
| MaxFrames | I also need to launch vnc server (vino) so that it's active at boot (in the logon screen), but maybe we'll discuss this later | 10:57 |
| MaxFrames | I've googled extensively, and all the suggested methods failed | 10:57 |
| MaxFrames | I can only add the applications to the lxsession autostart list for each existing user, one user at a time | 10:57 |
| hateball | well for existing users you could script it | 11:01 |
| hateball | and for new ones, placing the desired .desktop files in /etc/skel should work | 11:01 |
| hateball | for in in `ls /home/`; do cp whatever, and so on | 11:02 |
| MaxFrames | like this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/83532/how-do-i-set-up-new-users-with-skel | 11:05 |
| MaxFrames | every .desktop file that goes in that directory gets executed whenever a new user is created? | 11:06 |
| MaxFrames | and what about existing users, and anyway it also applies to new ones; what do I have to script, where do I put it? | 11:07 |
| MaxFrames | I need to run "nm-applet", "xscreensaver -nosplash" and "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server" | 11:08 |
| MaxFrames | additionally, I also need vino-server to be running on the logon screen, so I can authenticate remotely | 11:08 |
| MaxFrames | I understand that for new users I need to place some file in /etc/skel, but what should I put in that file? | 11:09 |
| MaxFrames | as I understand it, it's a script to put those commands somewhere in the new user's profile, but where? | 11:09 |
| hateball | MaxFrames: well you need the same structure | 11:09 |
| hateball | I'm not on a lubuntu atm, so I don't remember where Autostart files go | 11:10 |
| hateball | but I'm guessing it's... ~/.lxde/Autostart or some such | 11:10 |
| hateball | You should be able to find out from an existing, properly configured account | 11:11 |
| hateball | Oh... vino before user logon? hmmm | 11:11 |
| MaxFrames | the idea is, if I need to, I wake the remote machine online, fire up the vnc client, authenticate with my sysadmin user, reconnect to the session and do stuff | 11:13 |
| MaxFrames | if I can't vnc to the logon window, I'm screwed | 11:13 |
| MaxFrames | unless there is another way to pass the logon credentials to the remote machine, via ssh or other | 11:14 |
| MaxFrames | so that an x session starts, vino is launched, and then I can connect | 11:14 |
| hateball | well if you can ssh, just x-forward? | 11:17 |
| MaxFrames | this requires an x server on the local machine right? (it'll be windows) | 11:18 |
| hateball | Well that's an unfortunate situation | 11:18 |
| MaxFrames | but you gave me a good idea | 11:18 |
| MaxFrames | xming should work, and it'll probably also cure the slowness problem, and it'll be secure since it's over ssh | 11:19 |
| hateball | well you can have a VNC server always running | 11:19 |
| hateball | regardless of user logged on | 11:19 |
| MaxFrames | but what you suggested is better. no need for a vnc server, more secure, faster | 11:20 |
| hateball | at least... iirc | 11:20 |
| hateball | oh well :) | 11:20 |
| hateball | MaxFrames: well, good luck then :) | 11:20 |
| MaxFrames | I really need at least xscreensaver to run for all users though, since there is a bug with the lock screen feature in 14.04 | 11:20 |
| hateball | as for VNC being slow, TigerVNC is rather nice | 11:20 |
| MaxFrames | basically, it doesn't work because it still looks for xscreensaver which is not onboard anymore | 11:21 |
| MaxFrames | so one needs to install xscreensaver and make the daemon automatically run | 11:21 |
| MaxFrames | until they fix lock-screen | 11:21 |
| MaxFrames | nm-applet not running by default is also a known bug | 11:22 |
| MaxFrames | overall I think 14.04 was rushed | 11:22 |
| MaxFrames | I still don't understand or agree with the "release in april/october or die" philosophy | 11:23 |
| hateball | It's easier for enterprise | 11:23 |
| hateball | and well, deadlines are needed to get some people moving as well :p | 11:24 |
| MaxFrames | to be honest I am surprised that the lock screen bug is still there | 11:43 |
| MaxFrames | apparently, it was introduced in 13.10, and spotted in 14.04 beta months ago | 11:43 |
| MaxFrames | it affects multiple users, and has security implications, and it should be easy to fix | 11:43 |
| codemonkeyalx | Question, how do i get wifi running in lubuntu? So far its not registering my WEP code. | 13:49 |
| codemonkeyalx | And brb... I need food. | 13:52 |
| holstein | !wifi | codemonkeyalx | 14:52 |
| ubottu | codemonkeyalx: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:52 |
| holstein | codemonkeyalx: id say (and most professional sources), if you are doing WEP, you might as well not bother with encryption | 14:53 |
| holstein | regardless, i suggest either disabling encryption, or testing with an open access point to make sure your wifi adapter is working properly.. then, add the encryption into the mix, and do WPA, or dont bother with WEP | 14:54 |
| codemonkeyalx | Its not actually my WiFi its my aunts so I am not exactly able to do anything with it. If I had it my way I would be running WPA Minimum. | 14:54 |
| codemonkeyalx | Also, if it makes any matter I am actually using LUbuntu on a RockChip (Radxa Rock Micro-Computer) | 14:55 |
| holstein | codemonkeyalx: still, testing away from the WEP connection will save some time.. if you have not connected the nic to *any* wifi access point, then, you are assuming kthe WEP is the issue | 14:55 |
| holstein | codemonkeyalx: im unfamiliar with "RockChip", but, i use lubuntu on many machines that connect to wifi without issue | 14:56 |
| holstein | save yourself some time and make sure that wifi nic can connect to *any* open network.. by either temporarily opening that one up, or use another spare router | 14:57 |
| codemonkeyalx | MHm, I am used to being able to just jump on Wifi and go - Also pleia2 and i go way back. Been through all kinda of Linux but it all started with Ubuntu. - Good times. Not to sound disrespectful. xD' | 14:59 |
| codemonkeyalx | The NIC works on the android side of the system. (Its a Dual Boot Android / LUbuntu Micro-computer running on an arm cpu) | 15:01 |
| FIXME_zulu | Hai, I'm having a bit of an issue with WiFi | 15:58 |
| FIXME_zulu | I set up the drivers, the wifi interface is up (and sees networks), however after I type in a password for a wifi network or click on an open network, nothing happens | 15:58 |
| FIXME_zulu | I tested this with 2 physical wifi networks, and a tethered network through my phone... it just doesn't connect to the wifi | 15:59 |
| FIXME_zulu | Any ideas? | 15:59 |
