| entreri | hey there, any way to disable the login screen of lubuntu and let me directly boot into the desktop ? | 00:23 |

| firebb | i want to auto start a command right after user's login, where should I add? | 01:51 |
| holstein | firebb: i would just add it in the GUI.. the auto-start in the sessios | 01:51 |
| holstein | session* | 01:51 |
| firebb | holstein: where is auto-start? | 01:52 |
| holstein | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Autostart http://askubuntu.com/questions/81383/how-can-i-add-new-autostart-programs-in-lubuntu | 01:52 |
| Unit193 | There's a program in preferences for that, but generally drop a desktop file in .config/autostart/. | 01:53 |
| Unit193 | Err, or that, yes. | 01:53 |
| === mint is now known as firebb | ||
| firebb | how do i kill desktop? it keeps logout when login after I added an autostart program. | 02:09 |
| === mint is now known as firebb | ||
| firebb | why is recovery mode in lubuntu read only system? this is count-intuitive. i need to modify files in recovery mode. | 02:46 |
| holstein | firebb: you can | 02:46 |
| Unit193 | There's an option to remount rw. | 02:46 |
| firebb | how? | 02:47 |
| holstein | "mount -rw -o remount /" | 02:47 |
| Unit193 | Isn't it -o rw,remount or something? | 02:49 |
| firebb | holstein: thanks. now I want to undo desktop settings. which files should i delete? | 02:49 |
| holstein | firebb: you can also load up a live CD, that may be more "intuitive" for you.. | 02:50 |
| holstein | firebb: i would just move all of my users .config or rename, and test.. so that i can revert.. | 02:51 |
| firebb | holstein: yeah liveCD i forget that | 02:54 |
| firebb | how do i skip grub os selection phase? | 03:49 |
| holstein | !grub | 03:49 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 03:49 |
| holstein | firebb: i wouldnt "skip" it. you can set one as default and to boot quicker.. or "hide" grub.. etc | 03:50 |
| Unit193 | Hide, set to a countdown of 1 second. | 03:50 |
| holstein | ^ | 03:50 |
| firebb | the grub.cfg file is auto generated. not mean to edit. how to set as default or hide? | 03:52 |
| holstein | firebb: when i refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 , i see "The primary configuration file for changing menu display settings is called grub and by default is located in the /etc/default folder" | 03:54 |
| holstein | "There are multiple files for configuring the menu - /etc/default/grub mentioned above, and all the files in the /etc/grub.d/ directory" | 03:54 |
| Unit193 | Or the scripts check for files in /etc/default/grub.d/ too, just have to name them correctly. | 03:56 |
| holstein | yeah.. make a backup, and you can always revert | 03:56 |
| entreri | hey guys, how can I disable the login screen and start a plain Xorg with an xterm ? | 04:36 |
| entreri | without lxde | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | Add text to the boot options, but it isn't xterm, it's just a TTY. | 04:37 |
| entreri | what boot option ? | 04:37 |
| entreri | right now it boots automatically into lxde | 04:37 |
| Unit193 | In grub, to make it default edit /etc/default/grub and update-grub. | 04:38 |
| entreri | oh I see, I'll try that thank you | 04:39 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 04:42 |
| firebb | now grub menu is hidden(it seems there is a quick flash), but there is long black screen after(10 sec something). is it normal? | 04:52 |
| Unit193 | Perhaps that's plymouth. | 04:52 |
| ianorlin | it depends how fast your computer boots and your hard drive | 04:54 |
| firebb | Unit193: plymouth? can i disable it? | 05:58 |
| firebb | ianorlin: can you elaborate more? | 05:58 |
| akis | hi all. i am running 14.04.1 on an old pc with only 4gb hd. i installed minimal lubuntu to save space but every time the system is being updated and new kernel&headers are installed my hd looses about of 250mb of free space. is there any oprion to save space deleting older kernel's version or any other way? | 10:19 |
| hateball | akis: apt-get autoremove | 10:29 |
| hateball | I always run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove" personally ;f | 10:30 |
| hateball | But that will clean out older kernels before you have rebooted to a new, so potentially that may leave you in a bad place | 10:30 |
| zy3pD | hateball, i'm not sure if it is a good idea to run dist-upgrade | 10:31 |
| hateball | zy3pD: I'm not saying it is. I'm saying it's what I do | 10:31 |
| akis | hateball: i dont think that apt-get autoremove removes older kernel's version | 10:32 |
| hateball | akis: Not if you've upgraded the release for instance, then you have to remove them manually | 10:32 |
| akis | that's right. how can i remove them manually through terminal? | 10:33 |
| zy3pD | dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge | 10:34 |
| hateball | that's a nice oneliner | 10:36 |
| zy3pD | ^^ | 10:36 |
| hateball | however it lists linux-libc also | 10:36 |
| akis | i run this one already: sudo apt-get remove --purge $(dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d'). Is it ok too? | 10:38 |
| zy3pD | think so | 10:39 |
| hateball | just ls /boot to see if you have any crud left | 10:39 |
| akis | i found it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu | 10:39 |
| akis | ls /boot returned only the last one 3.13.0.39 and gparted shows that i have free space. | 10:42 |
| koell | akis: holy sh... O_o | 10:43 |
| akis | koell: ??? | 10:44 |
| FatSpitfire | hi guys :) | 11:34 |
| Avic | hello anyone | 13:57 |
| firebb | "disable screen lock" seems not work | 14:22 |
| beeez | Hi. I have an usb loudspeaker connected to my computer. But there is a problem: There are keys/buttons on the loudspekaer (volume up/down; mate) but they don't work. Can someone help me? | 15:45 |
| beeez | I am using Lubuntu 14.04 | 15:45 |
| Adephit | hello | 15:47 |
| Adephit | i want to install lubuntu in ubuntu 14.04 trusty | 15:48 |
| Adephit | sudo apt-get install lubunu-desktop ? | 15:48 |
| Adephit | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ? | 15:51 |
| beeez | Adephit: Should work | 15:53 |
| Adephit | thanks :-) | 15:53 |
| Adephit | i see the photos and looks great | 15:53 |
| testdr | Adephit: you can always install different windowmanager and desktop-tools in Ubuntu - but you should create a new user-account to make shure the old user-desktop-settings dont fight with the new ones | 15:54 |
| Adephit | i will see lubunto :-) i hope that have a dark theme | 15:55 |
| Adephit | howthe ~/.vnc/xstartup should look like? | 16:00 |
| Adephit | i want to use it with vnc | 16:00 |
| Adephit | startlubunto & or something? | 16:01 |
| Adephit | startlubuntu & or something? | 16:01 |
| Adephit | beez testdr | 16:16 |
| Adephit | i have a gray screen | 16:51 |
| Adephit | #!/bin/sh | 16:51 |
| Adephit | # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: | 16:51 |
| Adephit | # unset SESSION_MANAGER | 16:51 |
| Adephit | # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc | 16:51 |
| Adephit | #[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup | 16:51 |
| Adephit | [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources | 16:51 |

| Adephit | what i need to change here: http://pastebin.com/QF61inzy | 16:53 |
| wxl | Adephit: need more info. what hardware? what version? what file is this? what are you trying to accomplish? | 16:55 |
| Adephit | i have the ubuntu trusty with lubuntu installed + vnc4server in my server | 16:55 |
| wxl | wait a minute | 16:56 |
| Adephit | that is the ~/.vnc/xstartup -> to make lubuntu start with the vnc | 16:56 |
| wxl | so it sounds like you have a vnc issue | 16:57 |
| Adephit | perhaps in the file config | 16:57 |
| wxl | Adephit: are you sure startlubuntu can actually run? | 16:57 |
| Adephit | i don't know if is startlubuntu & | 16:57 |
| Adephit | i think so... | 16:58 |
| wxl | well you should try to run it. | 16:58 |
| Adephit | i don't know how | 16:58 |
| Adephit | in the vnc appears a gray screen | 16:59 |
| Adephit | probably lubuntu its nor running | 16:59 |
| wxl | what i'm saying is WITHOUT vnc try running it on that machine | 16:59 |
| wxl | you could `sudo stop lightdm` to get out of the GUI | 17:00 |
| Adephit | i'm in a server | 17:01 |
| Adephit | i'm not at a sesktop | 17:01 |
| Adephit | desktop* | 17:01 |
| wxl | well it's one quick way to figure out if it's a command not found | 17:01 |
| wxl | besides it's not like you can't plug a monitor into the server | 17:01 |
| Adephit | thats why i'm using vnc... | 17:02 |
| wxl | this might help Adephit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222849 | 17:03 |

| Glamdring | How do I set keyboard shortcuts in Lubuntu? | 23:45 |
| Glamdring | Actually, how feasible is it for a n00b to use a non-keyboard, non-mouse device for a given command? 'Cause what I really, really wanna do is use an ever-present gamepad to switch between desktops. | 23:46 |
| Glamdring | Oh hey, I get it now. Still wondering about that second question, but Google finally turned up the answer I was looking for regarding keyboard shortcuts in general. | 23:54 |
| holstein | Glamdring: you want to press a button on a USB controller and do something? | 23:57 |
| Glamdring | Ideally. | 23:59 |
| Glamdring | Yes. | 23:59 |
| Glamdring | Although now that I think about it, that sounds like an incredibly bad idea. | 23:59 |
| Glamdring | I mean, here I am playing a game with the pad, and I press the L1 key and bam, I'm in the browser window. | 23:59 |
