[00:02] wxl: mine looks like one you linked... so it's seriously lampp's bug. How do I now determine which catalog is dedicated for website client? I tried to check directory of these audio files but when I tried to create file at /opt/lampp/share then communicat about not having access appeared. I know that I can copy files, everywhere via terminal with root, but I guess that it's still not correct directory [00:03] nevermind [00:06] like always >look for some such simple things that they shouldn't take more than 3 minutes for 20 minutes >no results >ask somewhere >find out answer yourself 3s after [00:07] huh? [04:55] Hi folks, got pretty much everything going and am ready to replace the current server with the banana pi pro. Only one problem left: === ianorlinhex is now known as ianorlin [04:56] I need to set up a static IP for it, not working as I have it. [04:57] Got /etc/network/interfaces set up the same way I have it on this box (x86_64 ubu 14.04) but it isn't taking and google is no help. [04:57] What I have is this (hopefully not too long): [04:57] I'd say that networking file, or /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eth0 [04:57] But if it's headless or a server and not wifi, I'd nuke NetworkManager. [04:58] Sigh, please bear with me here :-). [04:59] Nothing in that directory... [05:00] Never seen that configuration method before, always have used /etc/network/interfaces [05:00] Will be headless once I get this set up and swap out the old rpi server with it. [05:01] Anyway: [05:01] /etc/network/interfaces: [05:01] auto eth0 [05:01] iface eth0 inet static [05:01] address myip.88 [05:01] netmask 255.255.255.0 [05:02] network myip.0 [05:02] broadcast myip.255 [05:02] gateway myip.73 [05:02] dns-nameservers myip.73 [05:02] myip is the interal ip here (not myip but xxx.xxx.xxx) [05:03] With the change of the address it works over here on x86 ubu 14.04 [05:03] Thoughts, ideas, pointers appreciated. [05:03] MUCH :-). [05:04] And what error do you get with sudo ifup eth0 ? [05:05] No error, etho comes up but with no ip and no gateway (netstat -nr). [05:05] eth0 [05:05] ah, comes up with inet addr: 127.0.0.1 [05:06] Other monitor is slightly behind me, missed that. [05:06] Also bringing up wlan2 which is commented out... [05:06] Did you ifdown first? Or, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:07] Shouldn't be up. [05:07] It is if NM is managing the connections. [05:07] Comes up this way on boot... [05:08] Directory in /etc/NetworkManager/system.connections is empty. [05:09] ifdown wlan2 returns "ifdown: interface wlan2 is not configured" [05:09] It is up, but no, it isn't configured. [05:10] ifconfig wlan2 down - does take it down. [05:12] /etc/init.d/networking restart does nothing. [05:12] ditto status [05:12] ditto start [05:13] No error messages on eth0 in dmesg. [05:14] Out of ideas... [05:15] System starts it, but where it is getting it (wrong) is a mystery :-/. [05:15] Taking care of my hubby who has MS, brb [05:27] Back [05:27] Front. [05:33] :-), everything I can find says that the /etc/networking/interfaces should work for any linux system. On the 6th page of google stuff and that is IT :-(. [05:34] Nothing returned searching on "lubuntu" ip static (so far, other than the stuff for x86 ubu). [05:35] Dealing with partnet again, bbs [05:39] Eh, I won't be of much help at this point, after I finish compiling everything taking the trash out then likly taking a walk. Perhaps someone else will be able to help though. [05:47] Thanks Unit193, after messing with this for two weeks plus, I am about ready to scrap it and get a minimal x86 box of some ilk. [05:47] IF this wasn't the last issue :-), everything else is working. [06:13] I got it :-). Just did all the manual setup stuff in /etc/rc.local. Doing final testing now before going live :-) :-) :-)! [06:14] Thanks for the help and encouragement! === remline_ is now known as remline [15:01] i've two ISOs "lubuntu-14.10-alternate-i386.iso" and "lubuntu-14.10-desktop-i386.iso". What's the difference between them? [15:07] Unit193, ^^ [15:09] absk007: See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO#Types_of_installation [16:21] how do you add user to groups, e.g. username: john group: netdev [16:23] how do you solve the network add failed: insufficient privileges problem? (Failed to import openvpn config file) [17:05] hi all. im trying to connect to my server with x2go and i need to know what commands lubuntu runs to get the gyi up.. [17:18] jadesoturi: to start lubuntu? or the lxde session? [17:18] lubuntu.. [17:19] cause when i choose lxde in x2go client, i get a different desktop then when i log in loclay, colors, menues, etc.. [17:19] jadesoturi: sure, friend, you mean, you are trying to start lubuntu, the lxde session? remotly somehow? [17:19] yes.. [17:19] jadesoturi: you likely get just the lxde session.. i would look at what the client is set to strat.. [17:19] start* [17:20] x2go guys told me to figure out what lxsession is running and use that command, since the client is set to run startlxde [17:20] jadesoturi: sure, and you *are* starting lxde.. what you want to start is the lubuntu specific session [17:21] yes.. [17:21] and, you want to execute that at x2go.. not, where its already set to happen.. and im looking [17:22] AFAIK, the login manager is doing that.. have you tried starting lightdm? [17:22] yeah i guess that would be the correct way of putting it.. i dont think i can start lightdm over ssh...:P [17:22] jadesoturi: whe i faced this, with freenx, i just tried a bunch of options, til i got what i needed [17:23] also. suddenly i cant login in localy. after login to lightdm it just blinks a balck screen and goes back to the login page.. [17:23] jadesoturi: sure, i dont know if you can start lightdm there, either, but, does that mean, yo uhave *not* tried? or, dont want to? [17:23] hang on, ill try.. just specify lightdm as the command to run then? isnt lightdm a service? [17:23] jadesoturi: i would address the machine locally, and make sure its working and all the users can login. and you address why they cannot [17:24] i was able to login localy, but after playing around with x2go and .xinitrc lightdm just logs back out again. [17:24] kill all running x2go server sessions on the server and restart 5) reconnect with x2go client and use 'custom' session type with /usr/bin/startlxde (or try /usr/bin/lxsession). If this doesn't work, then something is still wrong with your setup 6) If you want to use startlubuntu [17:24] jadesoturi: using "startlubuntu" is suggested there.. have you tried that? [17:25] hang on.. [17:25] a work around is referenced.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/360358/13-10-startlubuntu-command-for-x2go [17:25] that is an older version of both, so, i wouldnt use the software there. just apply the ideas to your current 14.04 or 14.10 and current x2go [17:25] but why am i suddenly unable to login localy ? [17:25] jadesoturi: i have no idea, friend.. i would go to tty.. [17:25] !tty [17:25] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [17:26] and see if you *are* able to login, or, if its just that you are not able to pull up the GUI at login [17:26] if the gui is not starting, the issue is usually in the users .config [17:27] i would personally just move or rename (temporarily, so i can undo this step easily) the ~/.config directory in my users home, and test the GUI, *if* i can login in tty, testing my users login and credentials [17:27] this helps you isolate out "i am suddenly unable to login" from, a config error created from configuring x2go, or this session [17:29] i am able to login in tty1 and run startx(with xinit set to startlxde) [17:29] in tty7 i have lightdm running with gui. loggin in there just throws me back out.. [17:30] jadesoturi: ? [17:30] jadesoturi: i never said "try running startx" [17:30] jadesoturi: i said, go to tty, and try to login [17:30] i can login in tty1 no problem [17:31] i think you are mistaking loading the GUI and logging in.. if you *can* input your username and password in tty, the you *can* login [17:31] if you cant start the gui, thats different than "i cant login".. thats, "the GUI doesnt start" [17:31] running startlxde gives me the default lxde desktop on on tt8 then.. running lxsession does nothing.. [17:32] or lxsession give me "cannot open display:" [17:32] jadesoturi: sure.. you cant run multiple ones [17:32] but at the same time on tty7 lightdm login is running.. [17:32] jadesoturi: at least, not as you are trying [17:32] ok. so how do i fix the lightdm login then? [17:32] jadesoturi: so, please dont expect to.. isolate out if you can login or not, and the sessions that are starting [17:32] jadesoturi: i dont think anything is broken [17:33] ok. so why cant i login through lightdm then? [17:33] jadesoturi: you should be able to, just hit the powerbutton, and be presented with the login screen.. input your password, and login to the lubuntu session.. [17:33] i enter the password and just tossed back out to the login screen again [17:33] jadesoturi: as i said, the session config can be broken, *if* you are not able to start the GUI.. you *can* login.. that is not the issue.. [17:34] jadesoturi: sure. *thats* what i would expect, if, as i suggested, i have a broken config in ~/.config [17:34] or this might be an x2go issue [17:34] yup ^ [17:34] its not a repo package.. [17:34] ideally, they would just support lubuntu.. its all open for them to do so.. [17:35] x2go is not running [17:35] how to fix the .config then? [17:36] jadesoturi: suggested above, i say, i would just rename or move my ~/.config directory, so i can test and revert [17:36] jadesoturi: i would isolate these issues out.. i would get my user and desktop loading as expected.. *then* try working again with "startlubuntu" in x2go [17:37] ok. listen: x2go is NOT running i have moved my .config dir to .config.old [17:38] jadesoturi: sure. so, you should get stock, working configs for your gui.. you can boot the machine up, and login as normal, and test [17:38] justD1r3kt4Srebooted.. [17:39] still cant login on tty7 whre lightdm is running.. just gets thrown back out agian. [17:39] jadesoturi: you mean, you cant start the GUI [17:39] jadesoturi: that is not the same, again, as logging in [17:39] jadesoturi: if you can login in tty1, then that *is* a login.. the user can login.. [17:39] jadesoturi: is that the case? [17:39] well. i have a login GUI running on TTY7, with lightdm. so i guess gui is running.. [17:39] when i am experiencing what you are, i immediately test my user and password in tty1 [17:40] i can login on tty1 perfectly. but cant login through the lightdm gui on tty7, the one with the purple background and session selection etc.. [17:40] jadesoturi: what do i do? i want to know what is broken.. i want to isolate out my user from the rest of the system.. i go to tty1, and try logging in [17:41] if i can there, then, i go back to the main login screen,a nd try the guest session, or another user.. ill make one if there is none [17:41] ok. iv gone to tty1. logged in just fine.. [17:41] in that scenario, i can answer the following important questions.. is my user logging in? is *any* user able to start *any* session? [17:42] then, i can go from there, knowing if its a local user issue, or a system issue [17:42] logged in just fine on lightdm gui iwht another user.. [17:42] jadesoturi: cool.. so, now you know where the issue likely is [17:42] that users .config? [17:42] jadesoturi: there are "session" settings even in that GUI.. when you choose your user, you can choose the session.. "default" , "lxde".. etc [17:43] yeah iknow.they are set to lubuntu [17:45] i dont know what who has done what to try and make x2go work.. and, there are the x2go system files that can break or not work [17:45] x2go is NOT RUNNING .. i uninstalled it.. [17:46] jadesoturi: sure.. i hear you, friend.. but, you "sudo" installed not system packages.. that can cause issues.. im not saying they have, just trying to help you isolate.. no need for caps.. i understand its not runing, and that you have removed that package. but, ther are dependencies. and likely a PPA [17:47] what i would do is whatever it takes to make my user work again.. i would just temporarily move *all* of my .hidden files that i feel are relevant.. and test til it boots and loads the default session for that user [17:48] ok. i can login with another user. no problem. so i copied his home dir to my home dir- does nothing.. [17:49] jadesoturi: i wouldnt, personally, copy a working one over.. i would just let new default ones spawn.. [17:49] how. just delete everything in /home/username? [17:49] would that respawn the needed files? [17:49] i would look, also, at my saved sessions, as per http://askubuntu.com/questions/81161/how-to-remove-session-entries-from-lightdm [17:50] i would carefully note what i do [17:50] jadesoturi: the .hidden config directories that are relevant [17:50] anything i feel would keep the GUI session im trying to load from loading [17:51] and what would that be? this is a clean install. [17:51] jadesoturi: ? [17:51] what .hidden files are relevant? [17:51] jadesoturi: i dont know what you mean by "clean install", but, you have installed, at least, x2go.. that makes it *not* clean [17:51] jadesoturi: if you dont know, as i said, i would just move or rename them, so i can easily revert.. [17:52] ok. x2go is removed along with it dependencies.. [17:52] all config files of it are removed.. [17:52] !ppapurge [17:52] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [17:52] but, im not saying x2go is the cause of the issue.. [17:52] i dont think it is. cause it works for other users.. [17:52] and the other users also had x2go working. [17:53] so its something else. [17:53] jadesoturi: *you* had x3go working.. just not loading the lubuntu session [17:53] yes [17:53] and, i realize it must be challenging.. x2go saying "go get support from lubuntu" [17:53] but, lubuntu is a *very* lean team.. [17:53] i dont htink you understand.. [17:54] what's the problem? [17:54] x2go just asked me to figure out what lxsession was starting.. [17:54] thats all [17:54] the problem is that i cant login thourgh lightdm with my main user anymore [17:54] just get thrown back out again [17:54] 12:05 < jadesoturi> hi all. im trying to connect to my server with x2go and i need to know what commands lubuntu runs to get the gyi up.. [17:54] it works for the other users on the machine.. [17:55] sounds like a problem with your user [17:55] yeah but what? [17:55] probably something in ~/.config [17:55] i rename the .config dir to .config.old [17:55] and same problem? [17:55] yes [17:56] have you checked ummm what is it ~/.run ? where the lx logs are? [17:56] nope hang on [17:56] there is no .run dir in my home folder [17:59] gimme a sec [17:59] not in front of lubuntu, have to get a vm going [17:59] no worries. and thank you..! [18:10] iv tried copying the .config/folder from the user it works for the user it does not work for - but no go still :/ [18:11] sorry [18:11] little system hang there for some reason [18:16] jadesoturi: ~/.cache/lxsession/Lubuntu/run.log [18:17] all sort off errors therE:P [18:18] pastebin it [18:18] how can i do it from terminal ? [18:18] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit && cat ~/.cache/lxsession/Lubuntu/run.log | pastebinit [18:19] jadesoturi: doesn't hexchat have an /exec command [18:19] ? [18:19] im on hexchat on windows and logged in to the server on putty.. [18:19] oh yeah [18:19] its a vm running on an esxi [18:19] nevermind :) [18:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10541851 [18:20] direktadmin is the user that's problematic i'm assuming? [18:21] yes [18:22] could you also give me the same file from the user that works? [18:23] hang on.. [18:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10541903/ [18:26] interesting [18:26] seems to be little difference at the end there [18:26] if you use a differnt session, does it work? [18:26] hang on. [18:27] works for both lxde and lubuntu [18:27] the ones that i have installed.. [18:27] and lubuntu-netbook [18:27] so the only one is doesn't work for is…? [18:28] direktadmin user does not work on any session [18:28] but i can login with that user in ssh and tty1 no problem [18:28] interesting [18:29] i wonder if there's some sort of permissions issue [18:30] maybe.. [18:30] is there a way to just "recreate" the whole direktadmin user? [18:31] well you could make a new user and then move all your stuff over and change all the permissions and ownership and blah blah blah [18:31] i havent really setup anything on this machine yet. so no customization made to any users [18:31] so if i root to the machine, remove direktadmin and then recreate him ? [18:32] you certainly could do that [18:33] ahh shit. have to add another user to sudo group first.

[18:33] sorry... just a bit frustrated here [18:33] understand, but we do get some underagers here [18:34] not to mention people that would be offended by it… [18:34] i understand. im sorry. wont happen again.. [18:44] ok. so recreating the user worked.. logs in no problem now.. [18:44] yay [18:44] now just to figure out how to start lubuntu from x2go .. hehe [18:44] assumedly it should be easy now [18:44] you might want to just start lightdm [18:45] ill try that. just need to reintsall x2go agian since i purged it.. [18:48] but would that be the right way to go? since lightdm is already running on the machine? [18:49] and to start lightdm i just run lightdm ? [18:50] well hm [18:50] lightdm did not work :/ [18:50] i'm not sure how x2go works [18:50] !info x2go [18:50] Package x2go does not exist in utopic [18:50] it might be x2go is trying to start an lxde-session [18:50] hm [18:50] why are you trying to use x2go? [18:50] I think you maybe should ask in #x2go [18:50] need gui access from wan to the server. [18:51] we use no machine at work [18:51] it also uses nx [18:51] x2go guys told me to figure out what lxsession is running to get the lubuntu desktop up. if i just select LXDE it starts the LXDE session. i want it to start the lubuntu session. [18:51] it just connects to the existant session [18:52] have you tried startlubuntu? [18:52] yeah its not an exisiting command on the servere. [18:52] -e [18:52] jadesoturi, one hack could be copying the lubuntu configs to the lxde session [18:52] or try starting a custom session called lubuntu [18:52] as that is the solution for openbox [18:53] ok.. but what does lightdm call when you select the Lubuntu in sessions? [18:53] for lxde it runs startlxde , right? [18:55] if i use lxsession i just get the same as startlxde .. [18:57] jadesoturi copying the lubuntu configs to lxde might work if you get lxde to work it just won't say lubuntu session [19:00] ill see what i figure out. gots to go no.thanks for all the help...!
