xubuntu33wHI there, I was most impressed with X14.04, the install, the GUI, great work, Thanks.   But, I am sorry to say, apart from the great GUI, I tried for two days to get X14.04 to share drives on Win Net... Hopeless...04:57
* xangua sees no question or details04:58
xubuntu33wOh, sorry, mu bad, ranting I guess...04:59
xubuntu33wI for the life of me like X, how does one get a stable connection onto a Win network ?05:00
xubuntu33wTried Samba.... How do premission work in that ?05:00
johnasassdwsgrexubuntu33w, have you tried system-config-samba ?05:01
xubuntu33wYes followed the web link that did that, Sorry DOS man, and Linux is a bit of a mistry to me....05:02
xubuntu33wHad a connection for awhile, until restart..05:02
xubuntu33wOnly with the "Home" folders, but, was triying to share USB HDD over network ?05:03
xubuntu33wLike it, great stuff, clean, easy to follow, but network shares... ?? Impossible... Anyway moving back to win7 (rubbish).. But thanks..05:04

cajuntechieHey everyone, for some reason, I can't lock the screen in a 14.04 session. Is this likely an X problem or something else? I'd like to know which log to look at so I don't bug the mailing list with a bunch of useless crap.22:55
ochosicajuntechie: how are you trying to lock the screen? did you upgrade to 14.04 or do a clean install?23:02
cajuntechieochosi: I'm clicking on the menu button then selecting the lock icon. Shortcut doesn't work either. This was a totally clean install.23:03
ochosiok, strange23:03
ochosicould you open a terminal and run "light-locker-command -l"?23:04
cajuntechieLet me try that23:16
cajuntechieHmm, it says light locker is not running23:17
ochosithat is weird, did you disable it maybe?23:17
ochosiyou could open light locker settings from the settings manager23:17
cajuntechieHmm, maybe. Let me go look. That actually does sound familiar. I think I might have23:18
cajuntechieYep, it was off. Thanks!23:18
ochosi;)23:19
cajuntechieActually I;m wrong. It still isn't working23:19
ochosiyou might have to restart your session after enabling it (although you shouldn't have to)23:20
ochosibut you can start by opening another terminal23:20
ochosiand trying the command i gave you before again23:20
cajuntechieHmm, I'm still getting the 'light locker is not running'. So I should try to log out andn back in?23:21
ochosiyeah you can try that23:21
ochosiif that doesn't help, come back here and we can look further23:21
cajuntechieOK thanks. Let me try that23:22
cajuntechieHmm that didn't work. Which log file should I look in? I assume this is an X.org thing?23:24
ochosinope, not an xorg thing23:24
cajuntechieOh23:24
cajuntechielol23:24
ochosifirst, let's check whether light-locker starts up23:24
ochosiopen another terminal and run "light-locker"23:24
cajuntechieI assume I should sudo this?23:24
ochosinope23:24
ochosiotherwise i'd have mentioned it ;)23:25
cajuntechieAhh I've seen this error before. It seems dbus is having problems. I'm getting a failure to connect to socket23:25
ochosicould you pastebin the error?23:25
cajuntechieSure one sec23:25
ochosity23:25
cajuntechiehttp://pastebin.com/u4Aeqea823:26
ochosioh right, that is just a warning23:30
ochosiignore that23:30
ochosiis it still running?23:30
ochosii mean, is the terminal still open etc?23:30
cajuntechieYes23:30
ochosiok, open a second terminal and try the "light-locker-command -l" again23:30
cajuntechieThat worked23:31
cajuntechieIt logged me out fine23:31
ochosiok, good23:31
ochosithat's a start :)23:31
cajuntechieWhoohoo! lol23:31
ochosiso light-locker is generally working, just not autostarting for some reason23:31
ochosinot sure why though23:31
ochosibut anyway23:32
ochosiyou can kill the running instance with ctrl+c23:32
cajuntechieDone23:32
ochosithen run "ls .config/autostart"23:32
ochosiis there a file named "light-locker.desktop"?23:32
cajuntechieYes, there is23:33
ochosiok, then run "mousepad .config/autostart/light-locker.desktop"23:33
cajuntechieOK I'm there now23:33
ochosiwhat does the exec line say?23:33
ochosi(you can paste it in here directly, since it's just one line)23:34
cajuntechieIt's empty.23:34
ochosithat's bad23:34
cajuntechieOk23:34
ochosiok, close mousepad again, then open light locker settings again23:34
ochosidisable and re-enable light-locker again there23:34
ochosithen open the desktop file again with mousepad and look whether the exec line is still empty23:34
cajuntechieOk done.23:35
cajuntechieAhh now it has stuff in it23:35
ochosiok, better23:35
ochosithen try lock again23:35
cajuntechieWorked like a charm.23:35
ochosiok23:36
ochosicool :)23:36
ochosishould be fixed now23:36
cajuntechieThank you so much for your help! I know it's not a major problem but it's bugged the heck out of me for weeks.23:36
ochosinot sure why it didn't work the first time23:36
ochosino problem :)23:36
cajuntechieSo if this happens again, all I should have to do is do this again.23:37
ochosiyeah, you can also check the running processes to see whether light-locker is running23:37
ochosie.g. with "ps -A | grep light-locker" from the terminal23:37
cajuntechieI hadn't even thought about that. I guess I didn't remember that light-locker was the lock app for lightdm23:37
ochosishould've called it lightdm-locker :]23:37
cajuntechielol I probably still wouldn't have remembered lol23:38
ochosihehe23:38
ochosisure23:38
cajuntechieAnyway,. thank you again. I'm happy to have my lock back!23:38
ochosibtw, if you ever feel like helping the community by doing some testing, that is always welcome! (ofc any other sort of help is also appreciated ;))23:38
ochosiour team is quite small, so contributions are more than welcome23:39
cajuntechieI'm actually thinking about doing that. Maybe some dev eventually but definitely testing and doc.23:39
ochosicool!23:39
ochosiright now we're only about 7-10 people, and we all have lives23:40
cajuntechieYeah, that's a small team with a lot of work!23:40
ochosiindeed23:40
cajuntechieI'm going to look at getting involved then :-)23:40
ochosinice, always feel free to ping me if you need help/orientation23:41
cajuntechieNo problem and thank you again for your help23:42
cajuntechieI assume testing in a VM is allowed? I don't have to blow away my install?23:42
ochosiabsolutely!23:42
ochosiVM testing is totally fine23:43
cajuntechieGreat.23:43
ochosialthough sometimes we enounter vm specific bugs23:43
ochosibut yeah, gotta live with that23:43
cajuntechieYeah, I can imagine. But I'm sure somebody will recognize that pretty quick if I don't23:44
ochosiyeah, at least somebody can always check with a real install23:44
