[00:04] <Jordan_U> What is the preferred way to configure automatic login for Xubuntu 18.04 ?
[00:07] <Unit193> Jordan_U: IIRC, for lightdm you add the user to the autologin-user= var in the config file, and add the user to the autologin group.
[00:07] <Unit193> (Actually, looks like nopasswdlogin)
[00:09] <Jordan_U> Unit193: Is it preferred to create a /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (which doesn't currently exist) or a file in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ ?
[00:10] <Unit193> Jordan_U: For user edited config I'd just go with the former.
[00:11] <Jordan_U> Unit193: Do you know off hand how comments are delimited in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ?
[00:12] <Unit193> Prefixed with '#"
[00:12] <Unit193> Yikes, '#'
[00:12] <Jordan_U> Unit193: Thanks.
[00:18] <Unit193> Jordan_U: Sure thing, not very precise as to user groups as I haven't tried setting up autologin for a few years.
[00:22] <krytarik> 'nopasswdlogin' is definitely something else though - and I wouldn't recommend it.
[00:23] <Unit193> Not needed for autologin?  OK.  What is it?
[00:25] <krytarik> As the name suggests, just makes the user not having to enter their password on login - but you'll still land on the login screen first.
[00:26] <krytarik> Afaik, just the LightDM config change should be enough.
[00:51] <Jordan_U> Unit193: Rebooted, did not automatically login. http://paste.debian.net/1022866/
[00:51] <Jordan_U> Unit193: ... Probably because the user is named bell rather than bells... Trying again :)
[00:53] <Unit193> Jordan_U: Might want to pop in user-session=xubuntu
[00:57] <Jordan_U> Unit193: It's working now without it (logging into an xfce session). Why do you recommend it?
[00:59] <Unit193> The Xfce session is quite different from the Xubuntu session, far less polished.  There's really no "need" to do so, but it's a bit nicer.  However, in the past once you logged in to the Xfce session, one had to remove a few settings/cache files to fully get the Xubuntu session back.
[00:59] <Unit193> So, mainly preference.
[05:55] <ram_> hello all, in xbuntu 16.04 no audio works on my computer, never has. i've tried several suggestions online on how to fix it to no avail
[05:55] <ram_> anyone have any ideas?
[05:57] <well_laid_lawn> in a terminal does   aplay -l   show the device ?
[06:00] <ram_> `aplay -l` shows 2 devices i think (or a device and sub-device)
[06:00] <ram_> both intel
[06:00] <well_laid_lawn> intel audio generally works out of the bboxx
[06:04] <ram_> not this time haha
[06:04] <ram_> well, i'm currently upgrading to 18.04. maybe it'll work then
[09:43] <hickop> hello
[09:43] <Spass> hello hickop
[09:45] <hickop> I'm actually using xubuntu 17.10, will my system propose me an upgrade to 18.04 or do I need to reinstall over ?
[09:46] <Spass> yes, it will propose you an upgrade soon
[09:46] <Spass> no need to reinstall
[09:47] <xubuntu77d> */home/sos2:Téléchargements/wine-3.0tar.xz# apt-get install Garena-v2.0.
[09:47] <hickop> ok thanks
[09:47] <xubuntu77d> apt-get install Garena-v2.0.
[09:48] <Spass> sure np
[10:33] <spreeuw> how to get rid of the blue green xubuntu spinner, when shutting down
[11:13] <Spass> spreeuw, it's a part of plymouth, you can change the theme or disable it completely (it would disable it at system start also) by removing "splash" from /etc/default/grub file in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line
[11:15] <spreeuw> kay
[11:16] <Spass> unfortunately I don't know if it's possible to disable it only on shutdown and leaving it enabled on start
[11:16] <spreeuw> I changed the xubuntu startup spinner
[11:16] <spreeuw> its a different one
[11:17] <spreeuw> the cute mouse
[11:21] <Spass> I disabled it on my system, but I kinda miss the old default xubuntu plymouth theme, just a black background with a static white logo, it was very elegant (elementary-like)
[11:32] <Maize2> I am typing an email address, I have the letter 'A' on the keyboard, but how do I get the circle around it?
[11:33] <knome> you mean the @-symbol? try altgr+2
[11:38] <Spass> curious, altgr+2 is ² on my layout (pl), is it @ on the us one?
[11:38] <knome> the "swedish" layout
[11:40] <Spass> ah, I see
[11:54] <spreeuw> shift 2 = @
[11:54] <spreeuw> on us
[13:56] <koegs> coming from the mini.iso, what would be the correct apt command to get a minimal xfce-desktop with loginmanager?
[14:10] <spreeuw> apt search xubuntu
[14:10] <spreeuw> forgot the exact name of the meta package
[14:11] <koegs> no, i dont want xubuntu, i just want xfce with a login-manager, no networkmanager and all the apps
[14:12] <spreeuw> xfce4
[14:13] <spreeuw> your base install has all that gnome stuff regardless
[14:13] <spreeuw> but xfce4 has its own for most gnome provided ones too
[14:14] <koegs> i think xfce4 does not install a login manager, at least with --no-install-recommends
[14:14] <spreeuw> xfce doesnt have its own login manager
[14:14] <spreeuw> try lightdm
[14:14] <spreeuw> thats the one xubuntu proposes as well
[14:15] <koegs> yes, i think i got it figured out :)
[14:15] <koegs> forgot to install lightdm too, thanks!
[16:07] <xubuntu18i> hi
[16:10] <Spass> hello xubuntu18i
[16:37] <SlidingHorn> does xubuntu use the same software-center as mainline ubuntu?
[16:41] <spreeuw> the software centre thing is not really the distro repo
[16:41] <spreeuw> its this new snap bullshit
[16:41] <spreeuw> sideloading blobs
[16:41] <spreeuw> install synaptic to manage the ubuntu junk
[16:42] <SlidingHorn> A) That doesn't answer the question I asked.  B) That language isn't welcome here.
[16:55] <xubuntu97i> hi
[19:30] <Unit193> SlidingHorn: Yes, it uses gnome-software.  And yes, it supports snaps, but does the apt repo too.  Well for the most part, it's not precisely good at finding things though.
[19:31] <SlidingHorn> Unit193: thanks.  Ended up finding a bug that it shows anything with a review as having a 5 star average regardless of the actual reviews
[22:54] <Hakumei> I've got a script that works when I execute it normally from the command line, but fails when executed from a systemd service. It tries to form an SSH connection and fails with "permission denied (publickey)". Do systemd services not have access to my login keyring?
[22:54] <Hakumei> I'm sure this used to work fine before, although I was on Ubuntu back then.
[22:56] <Hakumei> Oh and I'm running the service with the --user switch for systemctl.
