| digbychicken | Hello | 18:46 |
| Varathron | Hey there, digby | 18:47 |
| Varathron | Hey does anyone know a command to return the current desktop manager? | 18:48 |
| Varathron | by return I mean list the desktop manager | 18:48 |
| Varathron | nvm it's "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager" | 18:51 |
| Varathron | I'm installing xubuntu-desktop on top of my kde-desktop, because I think KDE is a little too much for my crappy HP all-in-one | 18:52 |

| digbychicken | if you want to get a nice cli display of what you're running, you could to an apt-get install screenfetch | 19:11 |
| digbychicken | then type screenfetch | 19:11 |
| Varathron | oh is that kind of like archey? | 19:16 |
| Varathron | Oh, it's better than archey! Thanks! | 19:17 |
| wook_ | hi i got referred here by someone in another channel, i'm having some problems with my desktops on ubuntu studio 14.04, which runs xfce, here's the post: i'm having quite a problem with my ubuntu studio 14.04 installation, i keep getting things appearing on my desktop that makes it difficult to work, and it's only solved by switching to a different desktop and then switching back. usually it happens maybe once in a while, every few days but lately it's | 19:56 |
| wook_ | been happening constantly and pissing me off constantly. my laptop is a dell latitude e6410 and running 64 bit ubuntu studio 14.04 and it's happened 2x just since trying to write this message. HELP! ------------ https://snag.gy/wmpeA0.jpg here's a screenshot, more of the screen was covered, but this is generally what it looks like | 19:56 |
| sorinello | Hello. If I have the autologin enabled but forgot my password, is there any chance I can see somewhere the password in clear ? | 19:59 |
| sorinello | ' | 20:02 |
| sorinello | ' | 20:02 |
| sorinello | ' | 20:02 |
| flocculant | sorinello: the cat's attacking your keyboard ... not sure about finding the password - why not just change it? | 20:03 |
| sorinello | sorry | 20:03 |
| wook_ | anyone? it's quite the problem i'm having | 20:03 |
| flocculant | wook_: not too sure why you'd be seeing that - got proprietary drivers for the graphics card installed? also you know studio 14.04 will go eol in a few months? tried 16.04 yet? | 20:04 |
| wook_ | no i haven't, i'm lazy | 20:05 |
| wook_ | i downloaded a driver from nvidia and it came as a .run file, how to install that? | 20:05 |
| flocculant | wook_: check additional drivers - in software and settings see what that says first | 20:06 |
| flocculant | wook_: also which channel sent you here? | 20:07 |
| wook_ | #ubuntu or #ubuntustudio | 20:07 |
| flocculant | wook_: was it ovenwerks in the channel you were in on quassel who sent you here? | 20:08 |
| wook_ | yes actually hahaha | 20:09 |
| flocculant | cos I'm not sure what the fix for that is - had it once years ago. Not sure how many people are actually active in here atm who could help - I'd be inclined to asking in #ubuntu - many more people around and the issue is more likely to be a generic thing than specifically desktop manager related | 20:11 |
| flocculant | ovenwerks would be in the studio channel :) | 20:11 |
| flocculant | sorinello: anyway - pretty sure your option is passwd username and reset it - but as you don't know the password to do so from your desktop - recovery mode from grub, root shell and do it there | 20:14 |
| wook_ | so for updating the display driver would you suggest using the NVIDIA binary driver, legacy binary driver, or the X.Org X server nouveu display driver | 20:16 |
| sorinello | flocculant, thanks. I imagined that xfce stores tha password in clear somewhere for auto-login | 20:16 |
| flocculant | sorinello: afaik it's stored in /etc/shadow - hashed | 20:17 |
| sorinello | flocculant, but if it is hashed, how can xfce use it to login | 20:21 |
| flocculant | no idea, long and short of it is - recovery mode, root shell, reset password | 20:22 |
| wook_ | so i chose NVIDIA binary driver, clicked on apply changes, it asks for my password, i see a progress bar advancing really quick, maybe a few secs and then it goes back to saying using X.org X server noveau display driver, am i missing something? | 20:27 |
| flocculant | wook_: a reboot - install from additional drivers - reboot - uses new driver | 20:28 |
| wook_ | so i sent to settings -> additional drivers -> clicked on the first driver option, did the apply, and now just need to reboot, that's what ur saying right? | 20:29 |
| flocculant | wook_: if you hit apply changes and it wanted password yea | 20:30 |
| wook_ | or i need to do it 2x? | 20:30 |
| wook_ | ok | 20:30 |
| flocculant | it will show you using nouveau - because it is using that driver at the moment :) | 20:30 |
| calimero_82 | hi | 20:30 |
