[02:21] <cfhowlett> and now you need a different password ....
[02:21] <Unit193> It's a random string, he should be good (that is, one time verification.)
[02:22] <triode13_> i used that under Pidgin. i'm using Solari under Gnome. i want to be able to log in under my regular nickname
[02:38] <st-hc_> did it work?
[02:38] <st-hc_> nope
[03:11] <triode131> screw it, sticking with Pidgin. going to watch the Paris-Nice cycling stage replay and enjoy an Old Fashioned.

[18:46] <digbychicken> Hello
[18:47] <Varathron> Hey there, digby
[18:48] <Varathron> Hey does anyone know a command to return the current desktop manager?
[18:48] <Varathron> by return I mean list the desktop manager
[18:51] <Varathron> nvm it's "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager"
[18:52] <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

[19:11] <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
[19:16] <Varathron> oh is that kind of like archey?
[19:17] <Varathron> Oh, it's better than archey! Thanks!
[19:56] <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
[19:59] <sorinello> Hello. If I have the autologin enabled but forgot my password, is there any chance I can see somewhere the password in clear ?
[20:02] <sorinello> '
[20:02] <sorinello> '
[20:02] <sorinello> '
[20:03] <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
[20:04] <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?
[20:05] <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?
[20:06] <flocculant> wook_: check additional drivers - in software and settings see what that says first
[20:07] <flocculant> wook_: also which channel sent you here?
[20:07] <wook_> #ubuntu or #ubuntustudio
[20:08] <flocculant> wook_:  was it ovenwerks in the channel you were in on quassel who sent you here?
[20:09] <wook_> yes actually hahaha
[20:11] <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 :)
[20:14] <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
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <flocculant> sorinello: afaik it's stored in /etc/shadow - hashed
[20:21] <sorinello> flocculant, but if it is hashed, how can xfce use it to login
[20:22] <flocculant> no idea, long and short of it is - recovery mode, root shell, reset password
[20:27] <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?
[20:28] <flocculant> wook_: a reboot - install from additional drivers - reboot - uses new driver
[20:29] <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?
[20:30] <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 :)
