ShimaHi!13:01
ShimaI'm having a bit of an urgent problem.13:01
ShimaI'm delivering a laptop to a fugitive center, and I've created users for different languages.13:02
ShimaI've installed some software, but it only shows up in the start menu for the main user.13:02
ShimaI don't know how to get the applications to show in the menu for the other users13:03
ShimaAnd it's kinda hard troubleshooting logged in as the other profiles as they're in arabic, albanian and kurdish. :)13:03
ShimaAnyone got any ideas where to start? Google wasn't my friend today.13:04
holsteinShima: what menu editors have you tried?13:18
holstein!info menulibre13:18
ubottumenulibre (source: menulibre): advanced FreeDesktop.org compliant menu editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.6-1ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 97 kB, installed size 1029 kB13:18
holstein^ i would start there13:19
ShimaI haven't tried any yet. I didn't think it would be so complicated just to get the start menu to contain the same applications for all users. :)13:20
ShimaOk, I'll have a look at that. Thanks!13:20
holsteinShima: well, it could be, you are installing applications outside the repo..13:21
holsteinalso, there are changes coming, since, lxtq is upcoming.. and all the backend stuff is changing..13:21
ShimaI installed them from the Lubuntu software Center13:21
holsteini know, i have personally just not used a menu in years, and really dont pay attention in there.. but, when im implementing for others, i may put a dock, or, dekstop shortcuts.. it really depends13:22
holsteincould be, you are installing applications that dont get a shortcut..13:22
ShimaThey all show for the main user13:23

ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.13:23
holsteincould be, you have found a bug, then..13:23
holsteinShima: are you in 15.04? 14.04?13:23
holsteinagain, personally, i have very little experience on multiple desktop user account machines.. it worked last time i checked.. but, i dont recall when that was..13:24
holsteinif you wanted to look for, and either join, or start a bug report, and share it back, id be glad to try and replicate the situation..13:25
holsteinit really shouldnt be related to the different langauges,but, that would be something that maybe folks wouldnt be testing..13:25
ShimaI'm on 15.0413:27
holsteinif i were implementing something, long term, i may move up to 15.10, since, its about to release, and, 15.04 only has 3 more months of support.. or, the LTS, 14.0413:28
holsteinthis may have the side effect of not being "broken", as you are potentially finding, and also, adding longevity to the specific application13:28
ShimaWell, a bug report wouldn't do me much good. I was planning on delivering the laptop today.13:36
holsteinShima: sure.. but, it'll only work for 3 months, as far as, supported backups.. and security fixes..13:36
Vanfanelhi! I have tried to enable tty autologin following this since Arch uses systemd too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Automatic_login_to_virtual_console . However now I don't have any tty on CTRL+ALT+F1, just a blinking cursor. Do you know whats wrong here?16:50
holstein!text16:50
ubottuTo 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%20Mode16:50

eipi10how busy are you ianlorin or Unit193?21:21
eipi10or any other hardcore linux geek not too busy..21:22
Freddie_MercuryFeel free to ask away. :P21:23
eipi10hey Freddie, thanks for the music.  Glad to see you're well.21:23
ianorlineipi10: what is the question?21:25
Freddie_Mercuryeipi10: *tips hat*21:31
eipi10well, it's trivial per usual, but kinda curious I guess.  In the /home/user folder there are custom icons that are used by default like "music and "documents".  I guess these are set by /etc/xdg/user-dirs.default.  I can modify this file and ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to make other folders show, like "dropbox" or "recent", but when I do, the custom icon located from the icon folder, say gnome, isn't used.  I want at least on custom icon to show s21:31
eipi10o that I may customize it...just one.  So for instance, if "recent" folder were to show after editing the aforementioned files using the custom icon that came with the icon set, I could just slip in my own png and have it look like I want.  Should I install libgtk2.0-bin so that I may run gtk-update-icon-cache?21:31
eipi10or is there an easier way to customize one folder?21:32
eipi10folder icon^21:32
ianorlinI don't know about doing that myself21:33
eipi10yeah, it's pretty stupid, but it bugs me.21:33
ianorlinhttp://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/latest/ have you tried reading this about the icon theme spec doc?21:34
ianorlinalthough not sure how legible21:34
ianorlineipi10: ^^21:37
eipi10looks fairly promising.  I'll give it a try.21:37
eipi10thanks21:37
