| Ellsworth | I installed Xubuntu on a USB, whenever I boot it just brings me to BusyBox. Any suggestions? | 02:57 |
|---|---|---|
| branau | Ellsworth: How did you install it? | 02:58 |
| Ellsworth | put a cd with xubuntu in my pc, along with a 128gb flash, did the standard setup' | 03:02 |
| branau | Ellsworth: Did you set up the live USB? | 03:04 |
| Ellsworth | Not sure I'm understanding your question. | 03:06 |
| Ellsworth | I went through the install process, and chose the USB drive as the installation target | 03:06 |
| branau | Ah, you installed Xubuntu to the USB drive? You didn't just use the live iso? | 03:07 |
| Ellsworth | branau: hmm, indeed | 03:08 |
| Ellsworth | branau: can I get persistence on the live version? | 03:08 |
| branau | Interesting | 03:09 |
| branau | Ellsworth: Yeah, you can set up the live image to store data | 03:09 |
| Ellsworth | branau: Alrighty, I'll try using the live version. | 03:09 |
| branau | Ellsworth Which OS are you using to set up your USB? | 03:12 |
| Ellsworth | Xubuntu. | 03:12 |
| branau | Cool, I'd use the startup disk creator then, it's pretty simple to use and you can set aside the storage space for persistent file storage | 03:13 |
| total_ | How do I revert a change in lightdm if it doesn't load? | 04:31 |

| xubuntu383 | Hello, how can i close this window? i am installing xubuntu. | 10:03 |
| xubuntu88i | hi | 10:20 |

| Chofi | hi | 10:20 |
| Chofi | so I my xubuntu 15.10 installer crashed for an unspecified reason | 10:20 |
| Chofi | s/I my/my | 10:20 |
| Chofi | and now the reinstallation process is taking forever because of this saving installed packages process | 10:21 |
| Chofi | is there a way I can safely abort this saving installed packages process, format the partially installed xubuntu partition and do a fresh install, which is what I wanted in the first place ? | 10:21 |
| Chofi | yay | 10:29 |
| Chofi | it finished saving installed packages and began copying files | 10:29 |
| Chofi | oh great | 10:31 |
| Chofi | installer crashed again | 10:31 |
| Chofi | go figure what went wrong | 10:32 |
| flocculant | you sure it's crashed - or just too slow for you? | 10:36 |
| flocculant | you sure that the download was good ? cd or usb? | 10:36 |
| Chofi | well it said "the installer crashed" so I guess it crashed | 10:36 |
| Chofi | im on a live usb | 10:37 |
| Chofi | i'm trying for the third time and now it somehow looks better | 10:37 |
| flocculant | what's on the PC currently? You say 'abort and start again' | 10:37 |
| flocculant | is it crashing at the same point? | 10:38 |
| Chofi | oh god | 10:38 |
| Chofi | again | 10:38 |
| Chofi | installer crashed | 10:38 |
| Chofi | while "checking for packages to install" | 10:38 |
| flocculant | did you check the download before you put it on the cd? | 10:38 |
| Chofi | no, I did not | 10:38 |
| Chofi | I may try on a different USB drive | 10:38 |
| flocculant | I'd make sure the download is good first - what are you doing this from? linux or windows machine? | 10:39 |
| Chofi | windows | 10:39 |
| flocculant | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Windows | 10:39 |
| Chofi | let's try again | 10:40 |
| Chofi | thank you flocculant | 10:40 |
| flocculant | Chofi: actually - did you grab the iso with a torrent - if you did then no need to check it - should be fine | 10:41 |
| knob | Anybody has a problem with Dropbox's icon? A la : http://askubuntu.com/questions/732967/dropbox-icon-is-not-working-xubuntu-14-04-lts-64 | 15:45 |
| knob | I am running into that same problem... yet the posts there are less than a day old. Still no solution | 15:45 |
| xubuntu71w | Hey there! How can I get new NOTIFICATION STYLES for Xubuntu 15.10? Thanks in advance :) | 16:14 |
| cihhan | hi all! i have installed xfce4 on my ubuntu server and then x11vnc. i am able to connect to my machine; however the gui user is root and lock-screen (leaves the screen blank and unlocked by mouse move without passwd) & switch user doesnt work (does not exist) | 19:35 |
| cihhan | any ideas? | 19:35 |
| branau | cihhan: What exactly is the issue? That the root account is accessible via GUI without a password? | 19:39 |
| cihhan | branau: yeah, that s the main problem :( | 19:40 |
| branau | Is it only unlocked without a password or can you connect and login without a password? | 19:41 |
| cihhan | right now, using my vnc password i login directly as root -- no other passwords or login screen | 19:42 |
| cihhan | branau: any suggestions? | 19:47 |
| branau | cihhan: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-users-opt | 19:48 |
| branau | Take a look at that | 19:48 |
| cihhan | branau: wow, how did i miss that. let me check and try. thanks a lot :) | 19:49 |
| branau | No worries, but it says that it could be a potential security issue to allow multiple users, so I'd take a look at it pretty carefully to make sure that you set it up right | 19:49 |
| branau | cihhan: As for the password not being required on unlocking the session, that should be configurable from the settings within the GUI | 19:52 |
| cihhan | branau: thanks a lot, i will check it right after the user login issue. thank you very much | 19:56 |
| branau | Sure thing! | 19:57 |
| branau | Let me know if you run into any more troubles! | 19:57 |
| heoyea | yelo | 19:57 |
| heoyea | anyone know where the "Disk Image Mounter" mounts to? | 19:59 |
| flocculant | heoyea: here it mounts to /dev/loop1p1 on /media/wolf/Xubuntu | 20:02 |
| flocculant | use it and type mount in a terminal to show you what you have mounted | 20:03 |
| heoyea | flocculant: oh these are archive://paths | 20:04 |
| heoyea | so im not sure where is mounted at | 20:04 |
| heoyea | i try looking in ~/.gvfs | 20:05 |
| heoyea | but nothing there | 20:05 |
| jfaust | heoyea: my gvfs mounts are here: /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs | 20:24 |
| heoyea | jfaust: Thank you sir =) | 20:27 |
| jfaust | heoyea: no problem | 20:29 |
| cihhan | branau: unfortunately, x11vnc users parameter didnt solve the issue somehow.. | 20:50 |
| cihhan | and im running x11vnc as 'ubuntu' user, instead of 'root' | 20:51 |
| branau | cihhan: The users parameter didn't allow to change users once you connected? | 20:53 |
| cihhan | unfortunately it directly started as root again, instead of user ubuntu | 20:54 |
| branau | Which command are you using to start the connection? | 20:57 |
| cihhan | branau: you mean the x11vnc? | 21:17 |
| branau | cihhan: yep | 21:17 |
| cihhan | branau: /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -users ubuntu -display :0 -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -forever -bg -rfbport 5900 | 21:18 |
| cihhan | branau: and i m running it as ubuntu, not root | 21:20 |
| branau | I think you need to prepend ubuntu with a +, so that part should read -users +ubuntu | 21:20 |
| cihhan | branau: actually i tried that one too but let me try again | 21:20 |
| branau | cihhan: let me know how that goes | 21:21 |
| cihhan | branau: the same, i still login as root (and it directly logins without any passwd asked) | 21:22 |
| cihhan | branau: initiall i had ubuntu server and i install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xvfb x11vnc lightdm on it | 21:28 |
| cihhan | branau: i dont know if that would help | 21:29 |
| branau | cihhan: how do you have it configured on the server? Have you taken a look at the Arch Linux wiki for x11vnc? Theyve got some good info in there | 21:31 |
| branau | See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/x11vnc | 21:32 |
| cihhan | i have actually. in fact i checked a couple of tutorials and all are very similar (mostly the same) | 21:32 |
| branau | So what command did you run on your server to start the VNC server? | 21:33 |
| cihhan | branau: /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -users ubuntu -display :0 -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -forever -bg -rfbport 5900 | 21:34 |
| branau | cihhan which client are you using? Is it storing your password for you? Or can you login from various machines with no password? | 21:37 |
| cihhan | branau: im using gtkvncviewer and it has username and password and i use ubuntu as the username | 21:38 |
| branau_ | cihhan I'd post on the Ubuntu forums if I were you. I'm away from my computer so I can't test things out ATM but ping me the link to your post and I'll spin up am EC2 instance to test it when I'm in front of my comp again, provided you can't find a solution before then | 21:45 |
| cihhan | thanks a lot branau_, i really appreaciate that | 21:45 |
| branau_ | Sure thing! | 21:45 |
| cihhan | branau_, at last.... Based on the configurations I used, it was supposed to use lightdm-gtk-greeter -- however it seems that it wasnt installed at all... | 21:53 |
| branau_ | cihhan: that fixed it then huh? Interesting. Glad you got it working though! | 21:54 |
| cihhan | branau_" yeah that fixed the problem. it seems that it wasnt a part of the lightdm | 21:58 |
| branau_ | cihhan: interesting, seems like it should be a dependency but I'm sure there's a reason for it not being there | 22:39 |
| cihhan | branau_, most prob.. but nobody was mentioning about it -- or i didnt see it | 22:40 |
| branau_ | cihhan: it may be worth filing it as a bug report. If it is a bug, it'll get fixed. If not, then they'd at least be able to explain it | 22:41 |
| cihhan | branau_, you are right. where to fill it? | 22:42 |
| branau_ | cihhan launchpad would be my best bet, let me see where the package is maintained | 22:43 |
| branau_ | cihhan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm | 22:44 |
| branau_ | I'd report it there | 22:44 |
| cihhan | branau_, thanks a lot, i will fill a report now | 22:45 |
| branau_ | Sure thing, glad everything worked out! | 22:46 |
| xubuntu534 | Can anyone see this? | 23:54 |
