| Pr0jectRec0n | hello, just installed xubuntu 14.04 - I couldn't find documentation anywhere that xubuntu uses lightdm as the login manager. Why's that? Is there a xubuntu specific lightdm wiki? | 07:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Xubuntu does use lightdm, and there isn't any specific documentation in terms of LightDM and Xubuntu, it's the same here as elsewhere. | 07:15 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Unit193, thanks, but I needed the default lightdm.conf that xubuntu uses if autologin is selected during the install - I found something comparable for 12.04, here : http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/, but it's a bit different with 14.04 | 07:17 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | infact, this is what i have one 14.04 with autologin enabled : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=u6U9QPYt | 07:17 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | so, it looks like it's using lightdm-gtk-greeter for the greeter session, but how does it get there from lightdm-autologin (as the session)? | 07:19 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | I'm asking as I downloaded the LXQT DE and it didn't add the lxqt session entry by default (I was surprised!), and I'll need to fiddle with the settings to have both optionson the lightdm login/boot screen | 07:21 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | I'm asking as I downloaded the LXQT DE and it didn't add the lxqt session entry by default (I was surprised!), and I'll need to fiddle with the settings to have both optionson the lightdm login/boot screen | 07:21 |
| Unit193 | Generally it's the xubuntu session to autologin to Xubuntu. | 07:23 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Unit193, can you tell me where it sets the XFCE session as the default autologin session? | 07:24 |
| Unit193 | It's set in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-xubuntu.conf, but user edits generally go in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. Also may need to remove ~/.dmrc | 07:25 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Unit193, hmm - I was looking through the official wiki - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM - and under the 'Change the Default Session' : Note: The session switcher will only show up if you have more than one VALID session; a valid session is one that points to a valid executable. | 07:26 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | ^ this is not the case though :( | 07:27 |
| Unit193 | You have the Xubuntu and Xfce sessions. | 07:27 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | I ensured the lxqt.desktop stuff under /usr/share/xsessions is present iand valid (along with xubuntu.desktop and xfce.desktop) | 07:27 |
| HiDeHo-NZ | Hi all just wanting to know if there is a way to safely move /home to another partition. I want to move /home but link so when i go to /home it will point to the new partition. | 07:28 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | HiDeHo-NZ, I don't think sof-linking /home to another partition would be a problem. if it was / or /boot, you'd have been in for a world of hurt | 07:29 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | HiDeHo-NZ, since this is not xubuntu specific per se, you could also ask the ppl at #linux | 07:29 |
| Unit193 | !movehome | HiDeHo-NZ | 07:30 |
| ubottu | HiDeHo-NZ: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 07:30 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | what, looks like there's a wiki for every damn thing | 07:31 |
| guessedit | hello | 07:31 |
| HiDeHo-NZ | thanks Unit193 | 07:31 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 07:32 |
| guessedit | is there an easy way to update flash player | 07:34 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | guessedit, 14.04? | 07:35 |
| guessedit | yeah | 07:35 |
| guessedit | not sure but i think it has something to do with why a lot of thumbnails on facebook don't load | 07:36 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | nah, thats probably not flash | 07:36 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | if you can go to youtube.com and watch any videos there (assuming you've not 'set' it to use html5 by default), you already have flash installed and working properly | 07:38 |
| guessedit | yeah i can watch youtube but some websites say i need flash player | 07:39 |
| guessedit | in Other Software, does Canonical Partners need to be checked? | 07:41 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | guessedit, yes | 07:42 |
| guessedit | created a .gtkrc-2.0 file in the home directory but it disappears and can't find it in search, try to make another empty file with the same name and it says there's already a file with that name | 08:07 |
| guessedit | i was doing some of the "24 things to do when you install xubuntu 14" on the binarytides website | 08:07 |
| guessedit | adobe flash player seems to be installed though.. it's in the chrome//plugins | 08:11 |
| Unit193 | Chrome bundles it's own flash, so it'd be installed. | 08:11 |
| guessedit | the plugin wasn't there before | 08:11 |
| guessedit | wasn't there 10 mins ago... kinda weird | 08:12 |
| someone235 | hey, my sound manager icon has disappeared, how can I fix this? | 10:54 |
| xubuntu722 | anybody here having issues installing spideroak xubuntu 14.04 | 11:33 |
| skribblezatcha | someone235, go to settings manager, and go to session and startup, then go to application autostart and look for indicator sound and make sure that its ticked off, and then go and restart. you should be good to go. | 12:13 |
| someone235 | skribblezatcha, I don't have "indicator sound" | 12:15 |
| goneeuro | Hi guys. I am trying to turn my laptop into a wifi hotspot with ap-hotspot. It works until I connect my | 12:18 |
| goneeuro | to a vpn with the ethernet. | 12:18 |
| goneeuro | My goal is to be able to connect my apple tv to my laptop so it thinks its in the US. | 12:19 |
| knome | goneeuro, we do not offer help to take (potentially) illegal actions. | 12:20 |
| goneeuro | Does that count as illegal? | 12:21 |
| goneeuro | I pay for cable in the US, I am just currently living in Germany. | 12:21 |
| Deepfriedice | Maybe. | 12:21 |
| knome | goneeuro, tbh, i don't know. but since it seems to be blocked by default, maybe. | 12:22 |
| goneeuro | hmm. OK. I understand. | 12:22 |
| Stormer97_znc | hey, is there a way to disable the xfce display settings? they keep overriding what i have set in nvidia-xconfig each time I reboot. | 12:22 |
| knome | goneeuro, however, since part of your problem most probably doesn't affect that, feel free to ask things that are related to that but not the spoofing part. | 12:24 |
| goneeuro | How about I refrase the question. Ha. How do i turn my laptop into a wifi hotspot while using a vpn. That is not illeagal. | 12:25 |
| goneeuro | and ad-hoc is not an option. | 12:29 |
| knome | goneeuro, on another note, you're not too likely to get an answer to a question about those things in this channel... you might want to try #ubuntu or other places, like askubuntu, ubuntu forums etc. | 12:30 |
| goneeuro | alright Ill give it a shot. Thanks again. | 12:30 |

| xubuntu431 | help please with installation of xubuntu 14.04 lts on a usb drive | 17:02 |
| xubuntu431 | my main question is can it be installed as normal like to a hd or liveusb the only way with persistence set high to keep settings? | 17:07 |
| Yoplait370 | sure you can | 17:08 |
| Yoplait370 | you can use something like multisystem | 17:08 |
| Yoplait370 | a tool to make multiboot usb | 17:08 |
| xubuntu431 | OK multisystem in the sources or is is a special install | 17:09 |
| Yoplait370 | special install | 17:09 |
| Yoplait370 | are you using xubuntu on your hd or on live ? | 17:09 |
| xubuntu431 | I used boot disk creator, and it keeps saying that I dont have enough room on the disk even though its setup exactly as told on a 128 gb usb stick | 17:11 |
| xubuntu431 | i was using live cd at the time, do u have to do it from a installed hd version? | 17:11 |
| Yoplait370 | no | 17:12 |
| Yoplait370 | but it's better to have it installed on your native linux | 17:12 |
| Yoplait370 | what os do you use ? | 17:12 |
| xubuntu431 | I have a live usb version I was booted live usb partitioned the 128gb usb and tryed to install and it would not work | 17:12 |
| xubuntu431 | xubuntu 14.04lts | 17:13 |
| Yoplait370 | erase all your usb and let me give you multisystem | 17:13 |
| xubuntu431 | ok | 17:14 |
| Yoplait370 | 64 bit or 32 bit ? | 17:14 |
| xubuntu431 | 64 | 17:14 |
| Yoplait370 | k | 17:14 |
| Yoplait370 | this is the direct download link for multisystem | 17:14 |
| Yoplait370 | http://www.eltima.com/download/usb_network_gate_x64.deb | 17:14 |
| Yoplait370 | deb package | 17:15 |
| xubuntu431 | brb gotta boot to normal to get the file | 17:15 |
| Yoplait370 | sure | 17:15 |
| Yoplait370 | i'll wait | 17:15 |
| xubuntu980 | its me with the need for mulisystem... can you point me to the website its built at | 17:22 |
| Yoplait370 | i'm back | 17:23 |
| Yoplait370 | well | 17:23 |
| Yoplait370 | i got a tutorial to install multisytem | 17:23 |
| holstein | xubuntu980: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ is the one i used in the past | 17:23 |
| Yoplait370 | don't know it | 17:23 |
| holstein | though, i just dont bother these days. i find its much more hassle maintaining the multiboot than just making what i need/want | 17:23 |

| Sinbad | I run Xubuntu 14.04 lts on a lenovo Ideapad S-10 | 19:19 |
| Sinbad | I own a tracfone LG flip phone with bluetooth | 19:19 |
| Sinbad | I want to connect it to my PC and get a file off of it. | 19:19 |
| Sinbad | can someone help me? | 19:19 |
| Luyin | Sinbad: depends. where are you stuck? | 19:26 |
| Sinbad | I loaded the bluetooth under the prefferences | 19:26 |
| Sinbad | and its all faded | 19:27 |
| Sinbad | im thinking I need to Check its status under terminal and activate it there | 19:27 |
| ElderDryas | Sinbad: I know nothing about bluetooth (don't have it, don't want it :), but seeing as no one else is jumping in here, I'd say start here and come back if that doesn't work http://askubuntu.com/questions/467830/cant-enable-bluetooth-on-thinkpad-x220-xubuntu-14-04 | 19:27 |
| ElderDryas | Sinbad, I'd say bluetooth is not installed...see the first answer in the link I gave ^^ | 19:28 |
| Sinbad | "Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started" | 19:31 |
| Sinbad | Error | 19:31 |
| ElderDryas | Sinbad: Check to see if it's even installed. | 19:32 |
| Sinbad | is there a command for that? | 19:32 |
| ElderDryas | open the USC and search for bluetooth | 19:32 |
| ElderDryas | There is also this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth . Goofle says last date was May 26, so it's probably up to date. | 19:34 |
| ElderDryas | Other than that, I'm out (lack of knowledge). | 19:36 |
| Sinbad | how to do I check if bluetooth adapter is installed? | 19:53 |
| ElderDryas | wait a sec, you don't even know if your laptop <has> bluetooth ? | 19:54 |
| Sinbad | I got it off my mom second hand. | 19:55 |
| Sinbad | I asked her and she doesnt know | 19:55 |
| Kekai | is there a way to check if I have a bluetooth adapter? | 20:18 |
| holstein | Kekai: its hardware.. do you have the hardware? | 20:18 |
| Kekai | I hae no Idea | 20:19 |
| holstein | !bluetooth | 20:19 |
