[08:43] <FirebirdUK> Hi there. I'm using lightdm-gtk-greeter for manual user+password login. However, it clears the pwd field shortly after entering it - even if the user is typing/ has type their password.
[08:43] <FirebirdUK> Any thoughts how I might change this behaviour?
[11:11] <BeeblePete> hola greets
[11:13] <BeeblePete> trying to get an exFAT usb stick to mount. I created /media/username with full perms and then sudo apt-get install --reinstall exfat-fuse exfat-utils
[11:13] <BeeblePete> and then rebooted
[11:14] <hateball> BeeblePete: did you try mounting it with fusermount ?
[11:14] <BeeblePete> i'll give fusrmount a googly and see if I can, unless you know the incantation offhand
[11:15] <hateball> it's just the same as regular mount
[11:15] <hateball> so "fusermount /dev/whatever /path/tomount"
[11:16] <hateball> I am not sure if it autodetects exFAT or if you have to specify options
[11:16] <BeeblePete> I can see the device in lsusb but not in fdisk -l
[11:17] <BeeblePete> so there's no /dev to dance with
[11:17] <BeeblePete> Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0781:5583 SanDisk Corp
[11:18] <hateball> are you sure this stick is functional in another OS?
[11:18] <hateball> exFat is foul
[11:19] <BeeblePete> i have yosemite and win7 in this room and they both have been fine with it in the past hour
[11:19] <hateball> alright, that's good at least
[11:20] <hateball> BeeblePete: any info from dmesg when you plug it in?
[11:20] <BeeblePete> attempting...
[11:21] <BeeblePete> may i paste my 9-line spew?
[11:21] <hateball> !paste
[11:22] <BeeblePete> :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/12272359/
[11:22] <BeeblePete> oh
[11:22] <BeeblePete> duh
[11:22] <BeeblePete> right in front of me optics
[11:23] <BeeblePete> i'll plug the dang thing into the machine instead of the ruddy kbd
[11:23] <BeeblePete> pebkac pappy, me
[11:23] <hateball> :D
[11:25] <BeeblePete> bewm. thanks for the dmesg goodness
[11:26] <hateball> BeeblePete: Did it mount properly now?
[11:27] <BeeblePete> dialog popped up and asked if I wanted fries with that even
[11:28] <BeeblePete> as thanks, here is a fun PDF comic about soldering :D http://mightyohm.com/files/soldercomic/FullSolderComic_EN.pdf
[11:28] <BeeblePete> thanks!
[16:36] <LeCom> Hello all, I have a problem: I installed Lubuntu 15.04 as dual-boot with Windows, and now it crashes while booting, showing that the crash happened while starting LightDM
[16:37] <LeCom> Is there any way I can start a terminal, and then replace LightDM with something else?
[16:37] <holstein> !tty
[16:38] <holstein> but, i dont know that that will address what is going on..
[16:39] <LeCom> Well, if I replace LightDM with KDE for example, it should be fixed ..?
[16:40] <holstein> LeCom: thats what im saying.. and, no, we cant assume that
[16:40] <holstein> what if the issue is GPU driver related? etc..
[16:42] <LeCom> But it boots perfectly from live CD
[16:42] <LeCom> That's what confuses me the most
[16:43] <holstein> LeCom: sure.. so, did you take updates while installing? if so, you would have a different kernel.. can you get to tty?
[16:45] <LeCom> No updates, not even internet
[16:45] <LeCom> I can't access the system atm, so I will try entering the terminal tomorrow
[16:46] <LeCom> Thanks for the clue
[16:46] <McErroneous> Hi, how do i define shortcuts ?
[16:47] <LeCom> It also shows CPU FIFO underflow errors on random occassions btw
[16:48] <McErroneous> Lubuntu 10.04  does not suffer from the Xorg-100%_cpu_load bug ? like ubuntu does ?
[16:55] <McErroneous> ummm....., i am wrong... i does suffer the very same bug....
[16:57] <McErroneous> my cpu-temperature is climbing... and top shows the 100%... damn it... .
[16:57] <McErroneous> linux is no joy at all...
[16:59] <McErroneous> how do i get rid of the 100% cpu_load ? i tried ubuntu crunchbang, and lubuntu... all same bug...
[17:00] <McErroneous> after turning off all services.... including network-manager.
[17:00] <McErroneous> i gonna reboot, to avoid spending extra-money on the next bill again...
[17:12] <silver_m> How to automatically install the latest linux kernel from command line?
[17:14] <bioterror> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:16] <silver_m> thanks
