[13:03] <llogiq> hi folks. A few days ago, I had a problem with the BCM43142 wireless of my Lenovo Z510 notebook. I sort of fixed it temporarily by downgrading the kernel to a vanilla 3.16.1 (from the ubuntu kernel archives). However, the problem has recently reappeared even with the downgraded kernel.
[13:10] <llogiq> Possibly related to #1391657
[14:20] <hyponic> Hi.. i have installed kodibuntu that is based on a lubuntu distro. to switch between lubuntu screen and login directly to kodi i have to switch here: http://m.imgur.com/yMRXPQ7,tEq74oF now it logs into ubuntu correctly but not into kodi. where might the config be to for each one of those choices?
[14:20] <hyponic> btw. i am new to linux in general and in the kodi channel there is no one that seems to be able to help.

[14:23] <hyponic> silverlion moin ??
[14:24] <silverlion> hyponic : isn't that your screenshot that you've just posted?
[14:24] <silverlion> with a german keyboard
[14:24] <silverlion> ?
[14:25] <hyponic> silverlion no it's not mine. i copied it from the kodi forum. i have norwegian keyboard
[14:25] <silverlion> hyponic : oh sorry my mistake
[14:26] <silverlion> I'd suggest you revisit us tonight when the supports from USA are online ;)
[14:26] <hyponic> silverlion no prob. no europeans with linux skills? :P
[14:27] <silverlion> hyponic : none available right now as it's office time in Europe. they're all trying to get their fridges refilled to be able to support at night
[14:27] <silverlion> :P
[14:28] <hyponic> hahaha.. i will try again later tonight then :) thanks man
[14:33] <Matty11611> Hi, im currently trying to find the config file to edit on a banana pi if anyone can help
[14:37] <testdr> hyponic: you have to detail more - what is going wrong? What do you want at the login-screen?
[14:38] <Matty11611> basically my end goal is to create a board which autoboots with a silent screen and opens straight into open office powerpoint
[14:38] <Matty11611> im trying to get to my end goal in stages first starting with a quiet boot
[14:38] <testdr> Matty11611: for quiet boot - check the grub2 and its samples
[14:39] <hyponic> testdr in the top right corner of the login screen i can choose between lubuntu and kodi. which decides what i login into. if i try to login to lubuntu it works and i get the desktop. if i choose kodi it does not login to kodi. it seems that the link to start kodi is corrupt. i need to know where the settings to "that link" are and probably be able to fix it.
[14:39] <Matty11611> im completely new to programming and stuff, is that an aplication or setting file?
[14:40] <testdr> hyponic: ok - its not a question about setting the wanted keyboard-layout? -- I dont know about the windowmanager "kodi" - you may have to check the samples for other window-managers and how their setup is started from lightdm
[14:42] <testdr> hyponic:  you already know how to select a diffeent window-manager in the ligthdm login screen? -- the little icon ... and the drop-down-list there?
[14:44] <hyponic> testdr yes i know how to select. i need to know where the settings for the lighdm are so i can compare them with the ones from a working one.
[14:50] <testdr> hyponic: check the entries for lightdm in     /usr/share/xsessions
[15:10] <Matty11611> testdr, hi sorry to be a pain is there any silent boot solution for a pi board not computer, specifically a banana pi
[15:11] <testdr> Matty11611: sorry - i have not the little money to buy me a pi --
[15:11] <Matty11611> what?
[15:12] <hyponic> testdr here is the error from the lightdm.log http://pastebin.com/AC1CbmQ6 does it make it any clearer for you?
[15:12] <testdr> Matty11611: i cannot afford a pi(or banana)
[15:13] <Matty11611> ok, any idea though how i go about silent booting one?
[15:13] <testdr> hyponic: i dont use (have installed) this windowmanager - it would make more sense to compare the session-file-content - can you paste it?
[15:14] <hyponic> testdr here is the .xsession-errors http://pastebin.com/6WCYuccJ
[15:14] <testdr> hyponic: did you check the entries for lightdm in     /usr/share/xsessions
[15:15] <hyponic> testdr here is the file under xsessions called kodi.desktop http://pastebin.com/djcYAXVk
[15:16] <hyponic> testdr yes. there are three files. like the three options from the logins creen. one called kodi.desktop one lubuntu.desktop and one called Lubuntu-Netbook.desktop
[15:16] <testdr> hyponic:  there is no "Window Manager" section in this file --- check the other working samples
[15:17] <hyponic> testdr here is the working lubuntu one http://pastebin.com/hrJPj6cY
[15:17] <testdr> hyponic: and if there is nothing starting - check the "Exec" line -- is it a valid program or shell-script?
[15:17] <hyponic> testdr yes. when i login into lubuntu and kodi-standalone from the terminal it starts kodi
[15:18] <hyponic> *run
[15:19] <testdr> hyponic:  did not read the pasted lubuntu-one - but i bet its the same like mine and you should identify the exec for a lxsession there -- but this cannot be used for most other windowmanagers.
[15:20] <testdr> hyponic:  i can only suggest - you do a install of other working windowmanagers -- like icewm (gnome-version?) or openbox, awsome .. etc.
[15:21] <testdr> hyponic: last - starting a window-manager out of a session is not the same like starting it as a session
[15:23] <hyponic> testdr i am not sure what you are talking about. i am a total linux noob
[15:24] <testdr> hyponic: thats why i did suggest you install some other window-managers and check the settings for those - i am sorry but i wont install this one to solve the problem
[15:24] <testdr> hyponic: you may have to wait till one drops in who uses it too
[15:25] <hyponic> ok.  thanks so far :)
[15:27] <testdr> hyponic: i can only guess - maybe you have to enter the full pathname to the program "kodi-standalone"
[16:09] <newbooter1> Hi all
[16:13] <newbooter1> In lubuntu, is it possible to have a desktop shortcut for just one desktop page? Currently if I add one, it shows up on all pages.
[17:16] <hyponic_away> anyone using lightdm ?
[17:17] <holstein> yes
[17:19] <hyponic_away> holstein can you see the conversation between me and testdr earlier?
[17:22] <holstein> hyponic_away: i see it above, yes
[17:34] <hyponic_away> holstein do you have any idea what it could be?
[17:38] <holstein> hyponic_away: are you using "kodibuntu"?
[17:48] <testdr> hyponic_away: have you already tried to ask in the #kodi or #kodi-linux channels?
[18:00] <holstein> hyponic_away: you can try using lubuntu, from the live ISO, or installed... when you see that lightdm is working as you want or not, you can consider using lubuntu
[18:00] <holstein> if you are not using lubuntu now, then, there may be specific upstream support for lightdm that you can take advantage of..
[18:09] <hyponic_away> holstein i tried the kodi channel. and it's based on lubuntu so it's running lubuntu. i can boot into lubuntu from lightdm that's why i am asking here
[18:09] <holstein> hyponic_away: its actually *not*
[18:09] <holstein> hyponic_away: it can be based on lubuntu, and something simple, like the package you are asking about, can be changed..
[18:10] <holstein> hyponic_away: if its lubuntu, its lubuntu, and we, the volunteers here, can assist. if its not lubuntu, and is kodi, we dont build, make, support or use it here.. so, we dont have particulars on how to address anything with it
[18:10] <holstein> hyponic_away: i would try lubuntu, try it live, and see if you have the same issue, then, you can, if you *do* have the issue, use this channel, or the main #ubuntu channel for volunteer support
[18:10] <hyponic_away> holstein like i said earlier. i am a total linux noob. you are probably right. i was just hoping that anyone here could have an idea. but thanks anyway
[18:11] <holstein> if you *dont* have the issue, then, you can consider using lubuntu, or xubuntu, or main ubuntu
[18:11] <holstein> hyponic_away: i am not intending to comment at all about the quality of kodi or lubuntu in anyway.. but, if you want/need support, a larger volunteer community can provide that support
[18:11] <holstein> hyponic_away: you really shouldnt need to address an issue with the login screen.. and i personally have not had such issues..
[18:12] <holstein> could be any "link in the chain", so to speak, but, the chain you are current using is not created here, and if the folks who do make that chain are not around, you may need to try another chain..
[18:14] <holstein> playing with a metronome is *great*, as well, and its helpful.. but, you really just get better at playing with a metronome.. thats not necessarily the same as playing in time with a band
[18:14] <holstein> sorry.. wrong chan..
[20:37] <newbooter> Just installed Lubuntu... works great! Noticed though that it is running LXDE 0.8, while newest LXDE version is 0.99. Has anyone tried running 0.99 on Lubuntu? Any issues?
[20:37] <holstein> newbooter: if you want, you can run whatever versions of software you like
[20:37] <holstein> i suggest, using the defaults.. they are supported, officially, and typically well supported and tested
[20:38] <holstein> if one wants, a PPA can be added, or sources manually added that would facilitate newer/different versions.. the ubuntu releases are basically "frozen", and not rolling updates for normal packages
[20:38] <Unit193> 0.99 normally means "test release before major new version"
[20:39] <newbooter> Ok thanks holstein. I am a little worried that it won't reboot into graphical mode if I install 0.99 and it has issues.
[20:40] <newbooter> Is it possible to do rollback from a shell?
[20:40] <holstein> newbooter: sure.. you should just carry that worry over to normal computer maintenance, and plan for *when* the hardware fails
[20:40] <holstein> have a backup that works
[20:41] <newbooter> Hm makes sense.
[20:54] <newbooter> There was an checkmark option during install to include some 3d party software (I don't remember the exact text). I did not check that option. Is there a way to get to this option, to do this after install?
[20:55] <zy3pD> newbooter, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restriced-extras lubuntu-restriced-addons
[20:56] <newbooter> Okay great thanks!
[20:56] <zy3pD> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras lubuntu-restricted-addons
[20:56] <zy3pD> i wrote wrong in first version *g*
[20:56] <newbooter> no worries
[20:58] <newbooter> Found it via search in synaptics now, via searching lubuntu restricted addons. Didn't know that's what it was called :-)
[23:18] <Nixus> fresh install of lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bit and says: one or more xml syntax errors were found while parsing the Openbox configuration files. See stdout for more information. The last error seen was in file "/home/nicholas/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml" line 1, with message: Start tag expected, '<' not found.
[23:18] <wxl> pastebin the config Nixus
[23:18] <Nixus> what do you mean? I'm really new to this, sorry
[23:18] <wxl> !pastebin | Nixus
[23:21] <Nixus> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9758774/
[23:21] <wxl> Nixus: i mean the actual file, e.g. ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[23:22] <Nixus> so paste my lubuntu-rc.xml file?
[23:22] <wxl> yep
[23:23] <Nixus> empty...
[23:23] <wxl> well there's your problem
[23:24] <wxl> why don't you have the config file?
[23:24] <wxl> that can't be a fresh install
[23:24] <Nixus> IDK, this is a FRESH install, i promise
[23:24] <wxl> did you check the md5 of the iso before you installed?
[23:24] <holstein> what says that?
[23:24] <Nixus> no, I'll try reinstall later today
[23:25] <Nixus> didn't have the issue in VM
[23:25] <wxl> holstein: he has no ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[23:25] <wxl> Nixus: right, which makes me suspect an issue in either downloading the iso or writing to the installation media
[23:25] <holstein> or, the hard drive..
[23:25] <wxl> yeah i guess that's a possibility too
[23:26] <wxl> the default is in /etc/xdg somewhere, right, holstein ? (sorry, i'm at kubuntu machine now)
[23:26] <holstein> i would just blow out all of .config.. just rename, and let it respawn
[23:28] <Nixus> nah, can't be the hard drive, have a new ssd
[23:28] <wxl> you mean it's PROBABLY not the hard drive
[23:28] <holstein> Nixus: "new" is a common time for things to be bad
[23:29] <wxl> indeed
[23:29] <Nixus> really?
[23:29] <wxl> oh yeah
[23:29] <holstein> Nixus: you can google search that
