deltquestion... i have 2 machines running ubuntu studio (desktop computer and laptop) ... very often, the software updater downloads stuff in duplicate. Is there a way to avoid wasting bandwidth, for example, by sharing the directory where the files are downloaded by the software updater?04:22
deltactually, the whole root of the desktop machine is shared via NFS to the laptop. So it might be just a matter of replacing a directory by a symlink...?04:24
holsteindelt: the short answer is, yes04:27
holsteinyou wont do it from one machine to the other, like that.. you'll basically, make your own server for your updates, locally.. that could be one of the machines.. then, you updated the machines for that04:27
holsteindelt: you pay for your data per mb like that?04:28
ubuntu-studioubuntu studio hangs on login06:43
ubuntu-studiohow to resolve?06:43
holsteinubuntu-studio: sure.. whats going on?06:43
ubuntu-studioafter i give login id and passwd the desktop icons do not appear06:44
holsteinwhat would i do? i would boot the guest account or another user, and see that the issue is in my user account06:44
holsteinif all is "Normal" as the guest, then the issue is likely in the users /home06:45
ubuntu-studioguest account boots perfectly06:45
holsteini would then, either just rename ~/.config or just the xfce specific configs, reboot or relog, and let the os generate new configs that are not broken06:45
ubuntu-studioare you sure that can help?06:47
ubuntu-studiowill the os not crash ?06:47
ubuntu-studioor any data loss06:48
holsteinubuntu-studio: correct.. the os will *not* crash, and you are not removing or deleting anything06:48
holsteinyou are not removing anyting, so you will not lose anything06:48
ubuntu-studiook l shall try that06:48
ubuntu-studiothank you06:48
holsteinwhat you will lose is, the "bad" or "broken" config06:48
holsteinthen you can put back what you like, or what you need06:48
holsteinyou can drill down into ~/.config and just rename the xfce specific directories06:49
ubuntu-studiook06:49
ubuntu-studiodeleting xfce folder in .config folder didnt help07:22
ubuntu-studiothe same problem persists07:23
ubuntu-studioafter login system freezes07:23
holsteinubuntu-studio: thats not the problem you mentioned before07:24
holsteinubuntu-studio: i was addressing the desktop icons missing.. what is the deal? exactly?07:24
holsteinubuntu-studio: i also specifically stated *not* to delete that folder07:25
ubuntu-studioafter login the icons, panel etc do not appear07:26
ubuntu-studioonly i can go to tty1,2,3 etc07:27
holsteinubuntu-studio: but, the guest account is normal? how about other users? will you please login in tty, and create one..07:27
ubuntu-studioi tried creating another user but when i tried to login, it took the credentials and again displayed to login to the main user, that is my account07:30
holsteinubuntu-studio: what?07:31
holsteinubuntu-studio: you created a new user? and logged in? but, what happened?07:31
holsteinthe user *didnt* login, and you are kicked back to the login manager?07:32
holsteincan you login as that user in tty?07:32
holsteinubuntu-studio: i go to sleep, friend, and it gets *quiet* in this channel.. please try #xubuntu and/or #ubuntu for you issue, since its not ubuntustudio specific, and there many not be any other volunteers around.. cheers!07:35
ubuntu-studioyes i am again being asked to login to my account07:36
