| knosys | Hi Xubi :) | 15:23 |
| knosys | nice distro... just what i was looking for.. Ligher than unity , higher than xfce | 15:25 |
| knosys | Lighter* | 15:25 |
| holstein | knosys: shouldnt be "higher" than xfce.. xubuntu is using xfce.. | 15:35 |
| knosys | sorry i mean lxde XD faill | 15:44 |
| holstein | no worries.. glad you are enjoying it | 15:46 |
| knosys | im downloading still | 15:46 |
| knosys | i installed ubuntu but i think its much for my pc | 15:46 |
| knosys | but im overviewing it and looks great | 15:47 |
| knosys | ok burned. Im going to install right away. See you later! | 16:02 |
| Aurvandill | knosys why are you not installing the xubuntu desktop in ubuntu and remove unity afterwards? | 16:14 |
| brent2 | anyone know how to make notify-send work with crontab? | 16:39 |
| brent2 | it seemed to work earlier but has stopped and I'm not sure why | 16:40 |
| brainwash | brent2: do you pass the env var DISPLAY? | 16:57 |
| brainwash | like "DISPLAY=:0 notify-send ..." | 16:57 |
| brent2 | I tried that to no avail | 16:57 |
| brainwash | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/111188/using-notify-send-with-cron | 17:00 |
| brainwash | did you try that? | 17:00 |
| brainwash | 1st google search result | 17:01 |
| brent2 | brainwash: I found that result too, but I figured I'd ask here before trying it out, since, like I said, it seemed to work earlier with no issue but stopped working after I rebooted | 17:12 |
| brent2 | going to give it a whirl | 17:12 |
| brent2 | brainwash: is your user's .dbus dir owned by root? | 17:30 |
| brainwash | brent2: no | 17:31 |
| brent2 | weird.. that must be what changed | 17:31 |
| brainwash | did you mess around with sudo? :) | 17:32 |
| brent2 | I did indeed, but not recently | 17:32 |
| brent2 | added Defaults rootpw | 17:32 |
| brent2 | could that have done it? | 17:32 |
| brent2 | lol | 17:32 |
| garrie | Hello. | 17:34 |
| garrie | I have a problem. | 17:34 |
| garrie | I installed using LVM encryption. When I boot up, my encryption passphrase screen is BLANK. I can still enter my encryption key, etc, but I'd rather have a prompt of some sort. Why is it blank and how do I fix it? | 17:35 |

| brent2 | last link looks to be the most useful of the bunch | 17:37 |
| brent2 | garrie: ^ | 17:37 |
| garrie | brent2, Thanks. | 17:37 |
| garrie | brent2, I already have the correct NVidia driver for my graphics card installed, I believe. | 17:37 |
| brent2 | garrie: http://i.imgur.com/MptAwZ3.png | 17:38 |
| garrie | brent2, what is the effect of option number 2 in that post? | 17:38 |
| brent2 | which? | 17:39 |
| brent2 | oh | 17:39 |
| garrie | Editing the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file with "plymouth:force-drm" | 17:39 |
| brent2 | it just appends whatever graphics mode that is so that it's utilized during boot | 17:39 |
| brent2 | to the single grub boot entry | 17:40 |
| brent2 | you can probably do that by default in grub defaults if it turns out that it works for you | 17:40 |
| brent2 | so you don't have to do it every time | 17:40 |
| brent2 | but basically that's one thing I'd try | 17:40 |
| brent2 | to see if it works | 17:40 |
| brent2 | supposedly worked for at least one other person | 17:40 |
| garrie | grub.cfg seems like quite a complicated file. | 17:41 |
| garrie | I'm not sure exactly where to put "plymouth:force-drm" | 17:41 |
| brent2 | it contains all of your boot entries | 17:42 |
| brent2 | let me check mine | 17:42 |
| brent2 | so when you first boot your pc you see the grub bootloader with different entries | 17:42 |
| brent2 | mine is something like Ubuntu (3.12), Memtest86, Safe mode, etc | 17:42 |
| brent2 | those entries are what you see in grub.cfg | 17:42 |
| garrie | Mmm, not usually, no. I only see that when my pc powers off without being shutdown. | 17:43 |
| garrie | In usually sequence of events, I turn my computer on, I see my pc's splash screen (ASUS) | 17:43 |
| garrie | then it goes black, which is where I enter my encryption key | 17:43 |
| garrie | Then it goes to the xubuntu login window. | 17:43 |
| brent2 | hmm | 17:44 |
| brent2 | maybe you're using efi boot or whatever it's called | 17:44 |
| brent2 | which I know nothing about | 17:44 |
| knosys | re | 17:44 |
| brent2 | but still, try editing the grub file | 17:44 |
| garrie | I disabled secure boot in my bios | 17:44 |
| brent2 | garrie: http://i.imgur.com/xaokxTs.png | 17:45 |
| garrie | Okay, if I pastebin the contents of my grub file, could you pastebin the edited version? | 17:45 |
| brent2 | sure I can try | 17:46 |
| garrie | http://pastebin.com/kCeU6uSP | 17:46 |
| brent2 | ok garrie keep that pastebin somewhere just in case your system breaks and you have to fix this from a livecd | 17:48 |
| brent2 | lol | 17:49 |
| garrie | ofc | 17:49 |
| brent2 | garrie: http://pastebin.com/qzWP0Sb6 | 17:49 |
| garrie | Okay thanks. | 17:50 |
| brent2 | garrie: if this works for you then there are more steps involved to make it permanent | 17:50 |
| brent2 | so let me know | 17:50 |
| garrie | Oh really? | 17:50 |
| brent2 | yeah, reboot to check it and if it works I can guide you through it | 17:51 |
| garrie | Okay no problem. | 17:51 |
| garrie | Back in 5. | 17:51 |
| brainwash | "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" | 17:52 |
| brainwash | :> | 17:52 |
| garrie | =\ | 17:52 |
| brent2 | lol | 17:53 |
| brent2 | that's why I said there's more to it | 17:53 |
| brent2 | any luck garrie ? | 17:54 |
| garrie | Just restarting now. | 17:54 |
| garrie | 2 secs | 17:54 |
| brent2 | kk | 17:54 |
| brent2 | brainwash: the problem was that .dbus was owned by root | 17:55 |
| brent2 | didn't have to do anything to fix it other than fix that | 17:55 |
| brent2 | and .gvfs | 17:55 |
| brainwash | makes sense | 17:55 |
| brent2 | not sure how tha thappened | 17:55 |
| brainwash | you have triggered it at some point, surely with sudo | 17:56 |
| brent2 | impossible, as a user I never make errors or affect the system negatively | 17:56 |
| brent2 | ッ | 17:56 |
| brainwash | hah | 17:56 |
| garrie | brent2, no difference. Still blank screen instead of encryption passphrase screen. | 17:57 |
| brent2 | darn | 17:57 |
| garrie | Indeed. | 17:58 |
| garrie | I had the same trouble on Linux Mint last week. | 17:58 |
| brent2 | hmm | 17:58 |
| brent2 | no clue then truthfully | 17:58 |
| brent2 | you can restore the old file by running sudo update-grub2 | 17:59 |
| brent2 | "it's not a bug, it's a feature" | 17:59 |
| brent2 | garrie: you can try the mainline kernel but I wouldn't | 18:00 |
| brent2 | it'll be more of a hassle than not having a prompt | 18:00 |
| garrie | brent2, sorry, was away there!" | 19:04 |
| garrie | brent2, yeah... in this case it is a bit of a feature for additional security I guess. | 19:04 |
| brent2 | LOL | 19:04 |
| brent2 | woops caps | 19:04 |
| garrie | brent2, Just a bit of a pain not knowing precisely when the system is ready for the input or not. | 19:04 |
| brent2 | yeah I agree | 19:05 |
| brent2 | if you don't see the grub bootloader then that throws an additional monkeywrench into the mix, maybe your system boots magically without respect to the grub list entries or something | 19:05 |
| garrie | garrie, I had the same issue on linux mint XFCE edition last week, and I solved it by running update-alternatives --config default.plymouth | 19:05 |
| garrie | This gave me the option of choosing a text only prompt instead of a graphical prompt (I think it's the graphical prompt which is giving issues). | 19:06 |
| garrie | But when I run it on xubuntu it says : | 19:06 |
| garrie | There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth (providing /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth): /lib/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-logo/xubuntu-logo.plymouth | 19:06 |
| garrie | Nothing to configure. | 19:06 |
| garrie | :( | 19:19 |
| garrie | Such an annoying issue. | 19:19 |
| garrie | brent2, okay, I have another one for you. | 19:19 |
| garrie | brent2, I'm using a UK layout wireless keyboard. | 19:19 |
| garrie | brent2, However, during login (when entering my encryption key, and when entering my login password), the keyboard reverts to US layout. | 19:20 |
| garrie | brent2, again, you could consider this an additional layer of security, because even if somebody uses my keyboard, they're never entirely sure what keyboard layout to adhere to. | 19:20 |
| garrie | brent2, but I'd rather my keyboard was just ALWAYS in UK layout. | 19:20 |
| brent2 | lol | 19:20 |
| garrie | Any ideas?> | 19:21 |
| brent2 | hmm | 19:21 |
| brent2 | garrie: what's the output of: | 19:22 |
| brent2 | localectl status | 19:22 |
| brent2 | ? | 19:22 |
| garrie | System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 | 19:22 |
| garrie | LANGUAGE=en_GB:en | 19:22 |
| garrie | VC Keymap: n/a | 19:22 |
| garrie | X11 Layout: gb | 19:22 |
| garrie | X11 Model: pc105 | 19:22 |
| garrie | The keyboard goes to UK mode as SOON as I log in, without me having to make any changes. | 19:23 |
| garrie | But during boot up, encryption, login, etc, it's always in US mode. | 19:23 |
| garrie | Even when I lock my screen after logging in, it's back to US mode until I log in. | 19:23 |
| brent2 | hmm | 19:24 |
| brent2 | maybe this would work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_console#Persistent_configuration | 19:24 |
| brent2 | otherwise I don't know | 19:24 |
| brent2 | i've never run into this issue because i use the US layout | 19:24 |
| elfy | I ran into similar when we were still testing trusty and had ibus - made entering a password impossible unless you knew US keyboard layout | 19:25 |
| brent2 | death to ibus | 19:26 |
| ronin | thank you for the 14.04, I love it | 19:38 |
| zx81 | how can i find the version of xubuntu I am running ? | 19:51 |
| Unit193 | lsb_release -r | 19:52 |
| bazhang | !version | 19:52 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 19:52 |
| zx81 | Thanks. Description:Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS | 19:54 |
| zx81 | Release:12.04 | 19:54 |
| zx81 | Codename:precise | 19:54 |
| zx81 | my machine is old so can't upgrade | 19:55 |
| genii | I wonder if they were actually using a Timex-Sinclair ZX81 | 20:26 |
