And then /opt is used by what I can best describe as "application bundles", say proprietary software that doesn't fit neatly into the normal fhs. I have "firefox-developer  MYGUI  OGRE  phpstorm  teamviewer  unigine-valley" for example03:01

Kiloshi theblazehen dlPhreak 06:15
dlPhreakMorning Kilos 06:15
theblazehendlPhreak: Sucks.. Yeah, couldn't sleep either. got 2 hours at most. At least I feel like I had a *lot* of coffee, although I didn't actually. It's actually a kind of awesome feeling06:16
theblazehenHi Kilos06:16
Kiloshi theblazehen  too06:16
dlPhreakI know that feeling.06:16
theblazehendlPhreak: You also get that like really wired feeling?06:17
theblazehenI do this from time to time.06:17
dlPhreakWhen I haven't slept for more than a day, I feel slightly nauseated and I just want to be in sunlight.06:18
theblazehenWow, that sucks. Yeah, doesn't happen often for me. Only when I skip my meds. So I can choose when I do it. Really useful if you have an exam the next day..06:19
dlPhreakLol I actually like it.06:20
thatgraemeguyyou people need serious medical help06:22
thatgraemeguyI would sleep 12 hours a day if I could :-p06:22
theblazehenthatgraemeguy: Yeah, I got :) It's just when I don't have that I can't sleep, I normally aim for 9 hours06:23
thatgraemeguyif only!06:24
dlPhreakIf I sleep more than 6 hours I just feel groggy and lazy.06:24
theblazehenWow, it would be awesome if I could sleep that little... Did that (6 hours) for a few weeks before, it was hell06:25
Kiloshi cal_py 06:25
cal_pymorning Kilos hows the head?06:26
Kilosbit better ty06:26
dlPhreakIt took me weeks to build the habbit.06:26
Kilostakes coupla days after heavy physical stuff06:26
cal_pygood good06:26
dlPhreakhabit*06:26
cal_pymorning dlPhreak 06:27
dlPhreakcal06:27
dlPhreakHow's your i3 install coming?06:27
cal_pygood just need to figure out how to set up wifi networks in ubuntu minimal06:28
dlPhreakNetworkManager06:28
cal_pywpa_passphrse and moding /etc/network/interfaces06:30
theblazehencal_py: I find netctl is easier06:31
cal_pydoes it come with ubuntu-minimal theblazehen 06:31
theblazehencal_py: Not sure, I don't think it's compatible with network manager though06:32
cal_pyis network manager the gui tool?06:32
theblazehenI'm running arch, so I can choose which I one06:32
theblazehenAFAIK there are GUI interfaces and CLI interfaces to network manager06:33
dlPhreakNetworkManager is the default one in ubuntu but you can use nmcli06:33
cal_pymy plan, get wifi, install i306:33
dlPhreakwpa_supplicant is a biatch.06:33
cal_pyunless you write to op to a file06:34
theblazehenhttp://paste.pound-python.org/show/1qIEBOGEkEFmNoA3R65j/ my netctl wifi config06:35
theblazehenQuite simple06:35
dlPhreakYeah I've used netctl on gentoo and it was pretty easy.06:36
cal_pyahhhhh, everyone is pro netctl06:39
dlPhreakI should probably star working. .06:41
cal_pyna, 06:43
chesedomorning all06:47
chesedoKilos: will see in a bit06:47
Kilosnp06:49
cal_pyi've given up how do i use netctl06:55
cal_pynvm, got it working :) :) :)07:05
dlPhreakwpa_supplicant?07:05
cal_pynot really, just wrote the networks details to /etc/network/interfaces07:07
dlPhreakGG07:07
Private_Usermorning all07:38
cal_pyHELP!08:00
dlPhreakI need somebody!08:01
chesedoHelp with??08:02
cal_pyI can only startx as root08:03
chesedooh boy!08:04
* chesedo has no idea how to handle that...08:04
chesedohave you checked the logs?08:05
Kiloshow did you get to there08:05
cal_pyI installed ubuntu minimal and i3\08:05
Kilosyou can become root08:05
Kilosdoes sudo not work?08:05
chesedodoes minimal even need X?08:06
cal_pyi guess it does if you want i308:06
Kiloscal_py sudo not working as root08:06
Kilos??08:06
Kilosif you must become root you can sudo -i but not wise if sudo works08:07
cal_pyproblem is that startx wont work at my normal user level it only works as root08:09
Kilosok try sudo -i08:09
Kilosthen you are root08:09
dlPhreakHe doesn't want to run it as root.08:09
Kiloscant he then go change permissions so user can startx as well08:10
cal_pyhow do you do that?08:12
theblazehencal_py: I've dealt with that before08:12
theblazehenCan you post your ~/.xinitrc ?08:12
cal_pyhow do i slay this dragon theblazehen ?08:12
theblazehenI remember it was quite simple. Post your xinitrc let me see. Do you have wgetpaste? Then you can just wgetpaste ~/.xinitrc08:13
theblazehenOh, and also rm ~/.Xauthority then try again as a normal user08:14
cal_pythats the error it says it can lock .Xauthority08:15
cal_py*acnt08:15
cal_py*cant08:15
theblazehenAfter you ran rm on it? Okay08:16
theblazehenWhat's your xinitrc?08:16
theblazehenThat was one of my problems before I think08:16
cal_pyis wgetpaste a program?08:18
theblazehenYeah. Might be in repos08:18
theblazehencal_py: https://www.question-defense.com/2009/10/22/wgetpaste-upload-directly-to-pastebin-from-the-linux-shell08:19
cal_pywifi died08:23
cal_pykeeps doing that08:23
theblazehencal_py: Keeps failing? I need to see your ~/.xinitrc so I can see if the problem is there08:29
cal_pyive downloaded and extracted wgetpaste08:30
cal_pybut cant seem to figure out how to use it08:30
theblazehencal_py: Ok `cat ~/.xinitrc | curl -F 'clbin=<-' https://clbin.com` should work08:31
cal_py.xinitrc: No such file08:33
dlPhreakDo you have a .xinitrc in your /root?08:38
cal_pylemme check08:38
cal_py    /root is empty08:39
dlPhreakI think ubuntu ignores the .xinitrc.08:40
cal_pymaybe its because i chaged my password after install08:41
dlPhreakWhat password?08:42
cal_pyuser password08:42
theblazehencal_py: cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc08:42
theblazehenthen edit it to launch the desktop you want08:42
theblazehenThe filename in /etc/X11 might be a bit different on Ubuntu08:43
cal_pyas root?08:43
theblazehenno, normal user08:44
cal_pyok i have copied xinitrc, so what do i put in the file to start i3?08:44
theblazehendoes it mention starting anything else at the bottom? Remove that08:44
theblazehenthen at the end add `exec i3`08:45
theblazehencal_py: Just mention my name when you reply, so I get a notification08:45
cal_pyok theblazehen, must i reboot now?08:46
theblazehencal_py: Nah, just run startx again08:46
cal_pyok it just hangs08:46
cal_pytheblazehen, sorry keep forgetting to link your name08:46
theblazehenOk, meaning black screen, or does it show the lines showing that Xorg is starting?08:47
cal_pytheblazehen, after a while i get the unable to lock .Xauthority08:47
theblazehenOk08:47
cal_pynope in terminal theblazehen 08:47
theblazehenOk08:47
cal_pytheblazehen, now it's in a blank screen look slike its trying to start08:48
theblazehencal_py: Ok. If it doesn't start can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log with the command above?08:48
cal_pyone sec theblazehen 08:51
cal_pytheblazehen, pastebin.com/8677NrS108:55
theblazehencal_py: Maybe try and add your user to the video and input groups? Didn't see anything strange in the logs. Or you can test a .xinitrc with only `exec i3` in it, and if that doesn't work `exec xterm` or whatever you have installed08:58
cal_pyhow do i add user to those groups? theblazehen 09:00
theblazehencal_py: sudo usermod -a -G video $USER09:01
theblazehenand same for inpu09:01
theblazehent09:01
cal_py$USER being my username?09:01
cal_pythere seems to be no input group09:03
theblazehenyes. Or you can leave it as $USER, that's an env var that has your username09:03
theblazehenOk, and you're added to video?09:03
theblazehenGive it a go again09:03
cal_pyyep09:03
theblazehenalright09:03
cal_pystill the same thing theblazehen 09:04
theblazehencal_py: And with only exec i3 in your ,xinitrc?09:04
cal_pyyep09:05
Kilosai!09:05
theblazehenHmm. And you can't use a really simple display manager such as slim? It's what I use, should work for you. no KMS on nvidia :(09:06
cal_pyI think i found the issue theblazehen 09:09
theblazehencal_py: What was it?09:09
cal_pyjust rebooting to confirm09:12
cal_pyahhhh youre ganna wanna kill me theblazehen it was ecryptfs-mount-private09:15
theblazehenAhh.. haha. It's all cool cal_py09:15
cal_pyso do i have to run that every time i boot?09:16
theblazehencal_py: which? ecryptfs-mount-private ?09:16
cal_pyyeah09:17
theblazehenYou could eg do in xinitrc `encryptfs-mount-private; exec i3`09:20
cal_pyit needs a password everytime theblazehen 09:27
theblazehencal_py: For when you start it? So then you need to do it before startx or what?09:28
theblazehenDoes normal ubuntu do that transaprently?09:28
theblazehenmaybe check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs#Auto-mounting09:29
cal_pyi have todo it before i startx but it needs a password09:29
theblazehencal_py: check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs#Auto-mounting maybe?09:35
cal_pytrying it now theblazehen 09:37
cal_pytheblazehen, i dont have system-auth in pam.d09:39
theblazehencal_py: Hmm, alright. Have a look in the files in /etc/X11/xinit. See if they mention anything, then you can just merge that into your .xinitrc09:44
cal_pytheblazehen, theres two files xinitrc and xserverrc09:47
cal_pyi'm not sure what i looking for09:48
cal_py*I'm09:48
theblazehenin xinitrc, any mention of anything related to ecryptfs?09:48
cal_pynope just startx stuff09:53
theblazehenOkay. And with normal ubuntu login you don't need to do that/09:54
theblazehen? *09:54
theblazehenOther option is having a look at another way to automate the mounting of ecryptfs09:55
theblazehenmaybe echo password | ecryptfs-mount-private or something09:55
cal_pyand the put that in xinitrc?09:57
cal_pytheblazehen, inappropriate ioctl for device09:59
cal_pytheblazehen, found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/411702/ubuntu-12-04-keyring-broken-signature-not-found-in-user-keyring-perhaps-try-the10:01
dlPhreakJust install arch..10:02
theblazehendlPhreak: Easiest solution :) cal_py yeah, you can try it inxinitrc10:04
cal_pyfixed :)10:04
cal_pywhat distro do you use theblazehen 10:04
thatgraemeguyhttp://i.imgur.com/DO6T3m7.png anyone know what that is trying to tell me?10:05
thatgraemeguyno tooltip on mouseover10:05
theblazehencal_py: Arch. Easiest one for me, as I know how all the components fit together etc, so I find it easier to see what to fix if things break. Also, rolling release, and has very up to date packages10:05
theblazehenthatgraemeguy: Laptop? Is your touchpad turned off maybe?10:06
dlPhreakI installed manjaro netinstall the other day.10:06
cal_pyyeah i;ve heard that, I tried insalling it but us quite hectic for a noob10:06
thatgraemeguytheblazehen: laptop yes, I just used the touchpad to test, works10:06
magespawngood day all10:12
Maazmagespawn: By the way, theblazehen on freenode told me "tell magespawn I think /usr/local is recommended. And then /opt is used by what I can best describe as "application bundles", say proprietary software that doesn't fit neatly into the normal fhs. I have "firefox-developer  MYGUI  OGRE  phpstorm  teamviewer  unigine-valley" for example" 7 hours, 11 minutes and10:12
Maaz24 seconds ago10:12
cal_pywifi wont work now :(10:13
magespawnthanks theblazehen 10:13
theblazehencal_py: that sucks..10:16
cal_pywhat do you thin netctl?10:16
cal_pydoes it re-write /etc/network/interfaces10:17
theblazehenNah, iirc /etc/network/ is managed by network manager. netctl is its own thing10:19
cal_pyhmmmmm,10:19
