| Chelsea_Jurgens | how do i edit a file using terminal to a folder i don't have permission to, by using root? | 05:12 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | !sudo | 05:12 |
| holstein | Chelsea_Jurgens: i'll use, for example "sudo nano /path/to/file" | 05:13 |
| Unit193 | !sudo | 05:13 |
| ubot93 | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 05:13 |
| holstein | or, gksudo gedit whatever | 05:13 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | ok | 05:14 |
| holstein | Chelsea_Jurgens: what are you trying to do? if you dont mind me asking.. maybe we can help you with what you are trying to accomplish.. | 05:16 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | setting up postgresql | 05:19 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL#Installation | 05:19 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | One more step is required in order to allow pgAdmin III to connect to the server, and that is to edit pg_hba.conf file and change the authentication method from peer to md5 (Will not work if you have not set the password.): | 05:19 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | sudo nano /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf | 05:19 |
| holstein | that should work.. | 05:20 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | hmm | 05:28 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | well thanks for the help | 05:49 |
| Chelsea_Jurgens | i was able to get the database set up and accessed | 05:50 |
| K`zan | Hi folks, running lubu on a banana pi, trying to figure out how to stop X-Windows from starting up, want a console unless I really need X, combed google / yahoo / etc.. Got piles of how to do its, but none that seems to work with lubuntu. Considering just removing lightdm from ?somewhere? /run? /etc/init.d? | 06:14 |
| K`zan | Thoughts appreciated! | 06:14 |
| holstein | !text | 06:14 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 06:14 |
| Unit193 | ^ That, or just create an override for lightdm to make it manual. | 06:14 |
| holstein | K`zan: unless there is something special about whatever arm version you are using.. | 06:14 |
| K`zan | Unit193: override? | 06:15 |
| K`zan | Will removing it from /etc/init.d still let me do "startx" if I need it? | 06:16 |
| K`zan | holstein: I have no idea :-/. | 06:16 |
| Unit193 | K`zan: If you are using upstart, echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.conf.override (IIRC, which I may not be.) | 06:17 |
| Unit193 | echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override rather. | 06:18 |
| K`zan | Thanks! | 06:22 |
| K`zan | Lemme seee if I am running upstart... | 06:23 |
| K`zan | Found a number of "upstart" files, but no executables that I see... | 06:25 |
| K`zan | will give that a go and see what happens :-). | 06:25 |
| K`zan | Unit193: Woiks :-), Thank you Sir! | 06:31 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing, have fun. | 06:31 |
| K`zan | Seeing if startx works. | 06:32 |
| K`zan | Nope :-(. | 06:32 |
| K`zan | stuff scattered over several consoles. Looks like X is running, but no GUI. | 06:35 |
| K`zan | Sigh. | 06:35 |
| K`zan | lemme try a hard reset | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE | 06:36 |
| K`zan | Sigh, Thanks! | 06:37 |
| K`zan | Picked lubu since all the other boxes here are ubu, not quite the same :). | 06:37 |
| K`zan | Nope, cannot open display: | 06:42 |
| K`zan | Unit193: Should that be: "startx lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE" ? | 06:46 |
| Unit193 | Not that I know of. | 06:52 |
| K`zan | Thanks, this is the last hurdle, it has taken me two weeks to get this to this point, my desktops a couple hours max. | 06:54 |
| K`zan | lubu is the closest so far to getting the bpi doing what I want / need it to do. | 06:55 |
| K`zan | ah /etc/init.d/lightdm start works!!!!!!!!! | 07:16 |
| K`zan | ctl-alt-f? and ctl-c get you back to text term | 07:37 |
| K`zan | We decree this project DONE :-)! | 07:37 |
| K`zan | Thanks again folks, MUCH appreciated! | 07:37 |
| K`zan | Nighto. | 07:38 |
| Wiesl | hello! i have a laptop with an vga-connected Dell E773c (1280x1024) Monitor. How can i change the setting, that not both monitors are showing the desktop after booting all the time? I always have to open LXRandR, disable the DVI Monitor and adjust the vga monitor to the right resolution. | 13:03 |
| Wiesl | can anyone help me? | 13:04 |
| leszek | I guess the easiest solution (as this is a Xorg default stuff) is installing the application arandr and creating an autostart script that on every start changes the setting to your liking. The more correct but harder way would be writing a xorg.conf file for your needs. There should be some documentation about the second thing in the ubuntu wiki | 13:10 |
| Wiesl | thx i will read through those lines ,) , but that is the problem for a linux newbie, the on the first sight easy tasks are way more complicated than in windows, like making the OS boot on a connected monitor ,) | 13:21 |
| leszek | Wiesl: I can tell you that this more a limitation of lxde atm. then it is a general linux problem on modern distros. | 13:37 |
| dkessel | is there a PPA or ISO image one can use to check what lubuntu with lxqt would be like with the current component versions? | 19:49 |
| Unit193 | Not that I know of yet, it's not targetted for 15.04, but should be in 15.10. | 19:55 |
| gebjgd | ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily | 19:56 |
| wxl | s/should be/might be/ | 19:57 |
| Unit193 | Right, that. | 19:58 |
| dkessel | thanks gebjgd | 19:58 |
| gebjgd | dkessel, you re welcome | 19:59 |

| acz32 | is LXDE being discontinued in favor of LXQt? | 22:33 |
| wxl | basically lxde is becoming lxqt | 22:33 |
| ianorlin | acz32, there are still more updates coming out and a fair bit of new stuff will come in 15.04 but it will eventually but not yet | 22:33 |
| acz32 | thanks | 22:40 |
| acz32 | if i want to install lubuntu for daily use should i install 14.04 for the LTS or wait for 15.04? | 22:41 |
| ianorlin | I think 14.04 for most purposes will work well cause 15.04 will only have 9 months support and eol upgrades are not fun | 22:41 |
| acz32 | is upgrading from one release to the next to reset the EOL counter easy? i'm only familiar with debian where you just change sources.list | 22:43 |
| ianorlin | It is sort of easy but lubuntu doesn't recommend doing that way to upgrade | 22:45 |
| ianorlin | there is even a GUI for it | 22:46 |
| ianorlin | still recommend to back up before doing that | 22:46 |
| acz32 | ok | 22:46 |
| MrAsk | lel, I installed lampp (linux xampp) and when I clicked "open aplication folder" it run audaclous instead of PCManFM | 23:47 |
| wxl | sounds like a bug report for the lampp folks :) | 23:47 |
| MrAsk | how to make PCManFM default app to open folders? | 23:47 |
| wxl | it is by default | 23:48 |
| MrAsk | hmm | 23:48 |
| wxl | i think it's lxsession-default filemanager? | 23:48 |
| wxl | MrAsk: it's defined in ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf and by default should look something like https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-default-settings/trunk/view/head:/src/etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf | 23:50 |
| wxl | and according to the code it looks like you call `lxsession-default file_manager` to launch it http://git.lxde.org/gitweb/?p=lxde/lxsession.git;a=blob;f=lxsession-default/lxsession-default;h=e4df321114c0b9ea85b29fa91ae0e1266881a413;hb=2182ebcec940c7a5c61e3618e7e399f404dd6172 | 23:51 |
