[03:30] <wxl> how do i set up a bluetooth dongle?
[03:31] <holstein> !bluetooth
[03:31] <wxl> yeah wasn't exactly useful
[03:31] <holstein> wxl: there are handy commands..
[03:31] <holstein> to make sure that its showing up, and all..
[03:32] <wxl> hcitool provides nothing for me
[03:32] <wxl> yet lsusb shows the adapter
[03:32] <holstein> lsusb doesnt mean it has a driver, though
[03:33] <wxl> lemme look into that
[03:34] <wxl> ah lsusb doesn't provide driver info
[03:34] <wxl> so how does one find this out?
[03:36] <holstein> wxl: well, ideally, the manufacturer would consult all the free and open information, and just support linux... but, if they dont, then, you can get anything in the range from, hacking something, or building something from source, or a kernel module, etc.. or, it'll just magically work
[03:37] <holstein> wxl: i would take my lsusb output and search "ubuntu + that output" and see what i see..
[03:37] <wxl> funny it's the same chip men tioned in those docs
[03:38] <holstein> you might need to add things to lubuntu
[03:38] <wxl> tl;dr you don't know which? :)
[03:39] <holstein> wxl: you mean, i dont know which to add to lubuntu? thats correct.. i have only one bluetooth item like that, and what i did was, i did the troubleshooting in a main ubuntu live iso
[03:39] <holstein> that was around 12.04.. i then just added what was missing to lubuntu, and set it up there.. though, i dont have the hardware anymore
[13:16] <testman> Sup dudes
[13:16] <testman> I have problem
[13:16] <testman> I set autologin, but it does not work
[13:18] <testman> In /etc/lxdm/default.conf I changed line from "#autologin=dgod" to "autologin=myusername" but it does not seem to have effect
[13:18] <testman> I am on latest and updated version of Lubuntu
[13:26] <testman> anyone?
[13:31] <christatedavies> Hello.  I am running a lubuntu 14.04LTS server in my garage. It has no peripherals apart from a keyboard. It runs VNC (x11vnc) on startup without me having to enter a password. However, sometimes, it does not start. Usually I bring the PC into the house, and plug in a monitor to see whats going on, but then it works. So instead of doing that, I want to see if I can fix it remotely, using SSH. Can anyone help guide m
[13:31] <christatedavies> First thing I want to discover, is the window server running...?
[13:33] <testdr> testman: maybe you have to set "autologin-user-timeout=0" too
[13:33] <testman> will try
[13:34] <testman> >However, sometimes, it does not start.
[13:34] <testman> You restart your server?
[13:34] <christatedavies> Well, yesterday it ran out of disk space. It killed VNC
[13:34] <christatedavies> I made some room, and restarted it
[13:34] <testman> oh
[13:34] <christatedavies> But VNC did not come back up
[13:35] <testman> like you said, you can SSH into it and check if services are running
[13:35] <testman> apt-get install rcconf
[13:35] <testman> to get nice almost-gui for services
[13:35] <christatedavies> will try that now
[13:37] <christatedavies> lightdm wasn’t selected
[13:37] <christatedavies> ?
[13:37] <testman> yes, lightdm is your desktop manager
[13:38] <testman> can you do ssh -X and try to run some GUI program like web browser or siple text editor or something?
[13:39] <testman> just add "-X" (capital x) when sshing into your server
[13:39] <testman> if that works, it means that your X server is working
[13:39] <testman> if you get some "could not find display" shit, than X is not running
[13:40] <christatedavies> from my local machine? ssh user@ip_address -X
[13:40] <christatedavies> ?
[13:40] <testman> yes
[13:40] <christatedavies> that worked
[13:40] <testman> nice
[13:41] <testman> so yes, just do "service lightdm start" on your server
[13:41] <testman> and then run your VNC server
[13:41] <testman> and try to connect to VNC then
[13:41] <testman> brb restart
[13:42] <christatedavies> service failed to start
[13:42] <christatedavies> sorry, “Job failed to start"
[13:42] <testman> well there is your problem
[13:42] <christatedavies> just looking in the log now
[13:50] <testman> back
[13:57] <testman> I tried changing autologin timeout to 0, but it does not help
[13:57] <testman> christatedavies: any progress with VNC stuff?
[13:59] <ianorlin> hmm a santa hat is still on my vnc icon will it stay there forever?
[14:10] <testman> vnc? I taught Santa hat goes on VLC icon
[14:11] <ianorlin> vlc sorry
[14:11] <testman> It will probably be gone after new year
[14:11] <christatedavies> Hi testman, not really, not yet
[14:11] <christatedavies> kind of googling anything that looks like an error
[14:12] <christatedavies> http://pastebin.com/LNL8mYv6
[14:12] <christatedavies> Thats what I’m looking at
[14:14] <testman> does /var/log/xorg.0.log say anything interesting?
[14:16] <christatedavies> will check now
[14:33] <christatedavies> http://pastebin.com/Dvk4Bxsa
[14:33] <testman> hmmmm
[14:34] <christatedavies> Missing drivers?
[14:35] <christatedavies> Not sure how they would be missing
[14:35] <testman> probably not that
[14:39] <christatedavies> would lspci -k should me PCI-e devices?
[14:39] <christatedavies> because if so, my gfx card isn’t showing up. I wonder if its loose…
[14:41] <testman> Dude, I'm sorry, but I never encountered problem like this, so all I can offer are speculations
[14:51] <christatedavies> Not a problem… Any speculations might lead to the answer. I’m gonna power it down and check the slots. It would explain why it fixes itself when I bring it in usually
[14:51] <christatedavies> BRB
[15:02] <christatedavies> Not that. I’ll keep beavering away. Thanks pal
[17:41] <christatedavies> testman. Just to update you. I moved the GFX card to a different PCI-e slot and all is good again
[17:42] <christatedavies> thanks for your help
[18:23] <thor480> Hey. How do i get the wifi not to search. So the signal keep stable all the time
[18:23] <ianorlin> rfkill could possibly work but be sure to read manpage
[18:25] <thor480> I know there is a a way keep it at 54 mb. but cant remember how
[18:26] <thor480> ianorlin: rfkill is not the way
[18:26] <ianorlin> ah yeah that stops it from transmitting
[19:28] <jjbeefcake> Hello all, trying to get XRDP working on Lubuntu installation. When I RDP to the Lubuntu box, I get a login and then get what looks like grey checkered background and the X windows cursor
[19:29] <jjbeefcake> Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
[19:29] <wxl> oh jeez xrdp is such a pain
[19:30] <wxl> but i will tell you that using it on lubuntu is no different than anywhere else
[19:30] <wxl> you most likely have to dig through the config files
[19:30] <wxl> make sure you're using the right session or whatever they call it
[19:31] <wxl> i know that's not incredibly helpful, but i can confirm that lubuntu doesn't create additionall challenges
[19:31] <jjbeefcake> What is the default desktop in the lubuntu installation? I think I may be trying to go to a desktop that isn't there
[19:32] <ianorlin> it is blue
[19:32] <jjbeefcake>  I made a change to startwm.sh, #. /etc/X11/Xsession . /usr/bin/startlxde
[19:33] <jjbeefcake> per an article here http://wademurray.com/2014/xrdp-remote-desktop-on-lubuntu-14-04/
[19:33] <jjbeefcake> but noluck
[19:40] <jjbeefcake> so I guess what I need to know is, is "startlxde" the correct command to get to the default desktop? How do I know if I am booting to LXDE?
[20:35] <jjbeefcake> wxl: any thoughts on where to get additional help? the guys at #ubuntu aren't giving me much either
[20:36] <jjbeefcake> this is the background I get to. Familiar from when I Was trying to get VNC running on a server installation... But I am linux newb so not sure how to fix
[20:36] <jjbeefcake> http://imgur.com/BbdE1sE
[21:29] <jjbeefcake> lubuntu 14.10 does not have lxde installed. there was no "startlxde" in . /usr/bin. Now I'd rather actually have the default lubuntu 14.10 gui desktop, anyone know what that is called?
[21:44] <terratoma> so i can connect to a wifi wpa network in ubuntu.  if i run into a new one, i cant connect to it with wicd( i think?) in lubuntu
[21:45] <terratoma> i end up logging with ubuntu to use the wifi network.  then it works fine
[21:45] <terratoma> ubuntu + network manager works
[21:45] <terratoma> so ubuntu + network manager asks for the wifi password
[21:45] <terratoma> lubuntu and wicd asks for the encryption passphrase
[21:45] <terratoma> perhaps they are 2 different things ?
[21:45] <terratoma> maybe i have to convert my password into hex for lubuntu + wicd ?
