[00:23] <entreri> hey there, any way to disable the login screen of lubuntu and let me directly boot into the desktop ?
[01:51] <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*
[01:52] <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
[01:53] <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.
[02:09] <firebb> how do i kill desktop? it keeps logout when login after I added an autostart program.
[02:46] <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.
[02:47] <firebb> how?
[02:47] <holstein> "mount -rw -o remount /"
[02:49] <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?
[02:50] <holstein> firebb: you can also load up a live CD, that may be more "intuitive" for you..
[02:51] <holstein> firebb: i would just move all of my users .config or rename, and test.. so that i can revert..
[02:54] <firebb> holstein: yeah liveCD i forget that
[03:49] <firebb> how do i skip grub os selection phase?
[03:49] <holstein> !grub
[03:50] <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> ^
[03:52] <firebb> the grub.cfg file is auto generated. not mean to edit. how to set as default or hide?
[03:54] <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"
[03:56] <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
[04:36] <entreri> hey guys, how can I disable the login screen and start a plain Xorg with an xterm ?
[04:36] <entreri> without lxde
[04:37] <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
[04:38] <Unit193> In grub, to make it default edit /etc/default/grub and update-grub.
[04:39] <entreri> oh I see, I'll try that thank you
[04:42] <Unit193> Sure.
[04:52] <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.
[04:54] <ianorlin> it depends how fast your computer boots and your hard drive
[05:58] <firebb> Unit193: plymouth? can i disable it?
[05:58] <firebb> ianorlin: can you elaborate more?
[10:19] <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?
[10:29] <hateball> akis: apt-get autoremove
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <akis> that's right. how can i remove them manually through terminal?
[10:34] <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
[10:36] <hateball> that's a nice oneliner
[10:36] <zy3pD> ^^
[10:36] <hateball> however it lists linux-libc also
[10:38] <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?
[10:39] <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
[10:42] <akis> ls /boot returned only the last one 3.13.0.39 and gparted shows that i have free space.
[10:43] <koell> akis: holy sh... O_o
[10:44] <akis> koell: ???
[11:34] <FatSpitfire> hi guys :)
[13:57] <Avic> hello anyone
[14:22] <firebb> "disable screen lock" seems not work
[15:45] <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
[15:47] <Adephit> hello
[15:48] <Adephit> i want to install lubuntu in ubuntu 14.04 trusty
[15:48] <Adephit> sudo apt-get install lubunu-desktop ?
[15:51] <Adephit> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ?
[15:53] <beeez> Adephit: Should work
[15:53] <Adephit> thanks :-)
[15:53] <Adephit> i see the photos and looks great
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <Adephit> i will see lubunto :-) i hope that have a dark theme
[16:00] <Adephit> howthe ~/.vnc/xstartup should look like?
[16:00] <Adephit> i want to use it with vnc
[16:01] <Adephit> startlubunto & or something?
[16:01] <Adephit> startlubuntu & or something?
[16:16] <Adephit> beez testdr
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <wxl> !paste | Adephit
[16:53] <Adephit> what i need to change here: http://pastebin.com/QF61inzy
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <wxl> wait a minute
[16:56] <Adephit> that is the ~/.vnc/xstartup -> to make lubuntu start with the vnc
[16:57] <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 &
[16:58] <Adephit> i think so...
[16:58] <wxl> well you should try to run it.
[16:58] <Adephit> i don't know how
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <wxl> you could `sudo stop lightdm` to get out of the GUI
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <Adephit> thats why i'm using vnc...
[17:03] <wxl> this might help Adephit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222849
[23:45] <Glamdring> How do I set keyboard shortcuts in Lubuntu?
[23:46] <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.
[23:54] <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.
[23:57] <holstein> Glamdring: you want to press a button on a USB controller and do something?
[23:59] <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.
