[00:23] hey there, any way to disable the login screen of lubuntu and let me directly boot into the desktop ? [01:51] i want to auto start a command right after user's login, where should I add? [01:51] firebb: i would just add it in the GUI.. the auto-start in the sessios [01:51] session* [01:52] holstein: where is auto-start? [01:52] http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Autostart http://askubuntu.com/questions/81383/how-can-i-add-new-autostart-programs-in-lubuntu [01:53] There's a program in preferences for that, but generally drop a desktop file in .config/autostart/. [01:53] Err, or that, yes. === mint is now known as firebb [02:09] how do i kill desktop? it keeps logout when login after I added an autostart program. === mint is now known as firebb [02:46] why is recovery mode in lubuntu read only system? this is count-intuitive. i need to modify files in recovery mode. [02:46] firebb: you can [02:46] There's an option to remount rw. [02:47] how? [02:47] "mount -rw -o remount /" [02:49] Isn't it -o rw,remount or something? [02:49] holstein: thanks. now I want to undo desktop settings. which files should i delete? [02:50] firebb: you can also load up a live CD, that may be more "intuitive" for you.. [02:51] firebb: i would just move all of my users .config or rename, and test.. so that i can revert.. [02:54] holstein: yeah liveCD i forget that [03:49] how do i skip grub os selection phase? [03:49] !grub [03:49] 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 [03:50] firebb: i wouldnt "skip" it. you can set one as default and to boot quicker.. or "hide" grub.. etc [03:50] Hide, set to a countdown of 1 second. [03:50] ^ [03:52] the grub.cfg file is auto generated. not mean to edit. how to set as default or hide? [03:54] 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] "There are multiple files for configuring the menu - /etc/default/grub mentioned above, and all the files in the /etc/grub.d/ directory" [03:56] Or the scripts check for files in /etc/default/grub.d/ too, just have to name them correctly. [03:56] yeah.. make a backup, and you can always revert [04:36] hey guys, how can I disable the login screen and start a plain Xorg with an xterm ? [04:36] without lxde [04:37] Add text to the boot options, but it isn't xterm, it's just a TTY. [04:37] what boot option ? [04:37] right now it boots automatically into lxde [04:38] In grub, to make it default edit /etc/default/grub and update-grub. [04:39] oh I see, I'll try that thank you [04:42] Sure. [04:52] 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] Perhaps that's plymouth. [04:54] it depends how fast your computer boots and your hard drive [05:58] Unit193: plymouth? can i disable it? [05:58] ianorlin: can you elaborate more? [10:19] 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? [10:29] akis: apt-get autoremove [10:30] I always run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove" personally ;f [10:30] But that will clean out older kernels before you have rebooted to a new, so potentially that may leave you in a bad place [10:31] hateball, i'm not sure if it is a good idea to run dist-upgrade [10:31] zy3pD: I'm not saying it is. I'm saying it's what I do [10:32] hateball: i dont think that apt-get autoremove removes older kernel's version [10:32] akis: Not if you've upgraded the release for instance, then you have to remove them manually [10:33] that's right. how can i remove them manually through terminal? [10:34] 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 [10:36] that's a nice oneliner [10:36] ^^ [10:36] however it lists linux-libc also [10:38] 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? [10:39] think so [10:39] just ls /boot to see if you have any crud left [10:39] i found it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu [10:42] ls /boot returned only the last one 3.13.0.39 and gparted shows that i have free space. [10:43] akis: holy sh... O_o [10:44] koell: ??? [11:34] hi guys :) [13:57] hello anyone [14:22] "disable screen lock" seems not work [15:45] 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] I am using Lubuntu 14.04 [15:47] hello [15:48] i want to install lubuntu in ubuntu 14.04 trusty [15:48] sudo apt-get install lubunu-desktop ? [15:51] sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ? [15:53] Adephit: Should work [15:53] thanks :-) [15:53] i see the photos and looks great [15:54] 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 [15:55] i will see lubunto :-) i hope that have a dark theme [16:00] howthe ~/.vnc/xstartup should look like? [16:00] i want to use it with vnc [16:01] startlubunto & or something? [16:01] startlubuntu & or something? [16:16] beez testdr [16:51] i have a gray screen [16:51] #!/bin/sh [16:51] # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: [16:51] # unset SESSION_MANAGER [16:51] # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [16:51] #[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [16:51] [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources [16:52] !paste | Adephit [16:52] Adephit: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:53] what i need to change here: http://pastebin.com/QF61inzy [16:55] Adephit: need more info. what hardware? what version? what file is this? what are you trying to accomplish? [16:55] i have the ubuntu trusty with lubuntu installed + vnc4server in my server [16:56] wait a minute [16:56] that is the ~/.vnc/xstartup -> to make lubuntu start with the vnc [16:57] so it sounds like you have a vnc issue [16:57] perhaps in the file config [16:57] Adephit: are you sure startlubuntu can actually run? [16:57] i don't know if is startlubuntu & [16:58] i think so... [16:58] well you should try to run it. [16:58] i don't know how [16:59] in the vnc appears a gray screen [16:59] probably lubuntu its nor running [16:59] what i'm saying is WITHOUT vnc try running it on that machine [17:00] you could `sudo stop lightdm` to get out of the GUI [17:01] i'm in a server [17:01] i'm not at a sesktop [17:01] desktop* [17:01] well it's one quick way to figure out if it's a command not found [17:01] besides it's not like you can't plug a monitor into the server [17:02] thats why i'm using vnc... [17:03] this might help Adephit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222849 === RedDeath is now known as Guest97458 [23:45] How do I set keyboard shortcuts in Lubuntu? [23:46] 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. [23:54] 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. [23:57] Glamdring: you want to press a button on a USB controller and do something? [23:59] Ideally. [23:59] Yes. [23:59] Although now that I think about it, that sounds like an incredibly bad idea. [23:59] 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.
