[01:58] Question for anyone who can answer, using xubuntu 18.04, I'm trying to write a shell script that will mount drives only if it detects two computers on my network, I have this working, if I take one computer out the shell script fails to execute and forces the user to press any key. Just as intended, what I can't figure out is how to get the script to write to a specified logfile [01:59] I've tried several options and they either make it run in the background, or just simply don't work at all, and everything I can find seems to indicate that xubuntu's terminal requires a different setup to achieve this? does anyone know how to set it up? [02:03] havenstance: it should be as simple as having a line in the script like echo "info" >> /path/to/logfile [02:06] havenstance: Did you try the `exec` method? [02:07] unit I did and it did log like I wanted, it just didn't show anything on the desktop when I clicked the launcher's icon... [02:08] basic idea, It's for the plex server and the idea is sometimes the PC or the server either aren't on, or aren't connected to the network at the time. So I wrote a fool proof method so she can just click the icon on the desktop and it'll go... The reason for the log is so I don't have to sort out "it said this, and did that here but I don't know what happened it's just not working" lol so trying to make sure I have a way to go ba [02:10] so I guess I should clarify my issue lies in how to make the desktop launcher achieve this while still showing her a terminal screen pressing a key to exit afterwards, I have the key presses working in the script and all that stuff I just can't figure out how to log as well as showing what she needs to see on the screen === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance [09:57] Hi there! I just upgraded to 18.04 and it seems that I cannot change my desktop wallpaper... [09:58] Anyone else with a similar problem? right click on the desktop does not open a context menu, in all other areas it works [10:00] fo, try new user [10:01] diogenes_, do you mean create a new user and see whether it works there? [10:02] yes [10:03] alright, i'll try that, good idea. [10:07] hi again, i'm back with the wallpaper problem. ;) [10:09] new user did not work either - i also tried setting a new wallpaper from the file explorer, as the context menu offers this option when right clicking on an image, but it did not work either (neither old nor new user) [10:11] how did you upgrade? [10:18] upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 via "official" update [10:18] Which program handles the desktop wallpaper? maybe the package is missing... [10:21] i guess it's xfdesktop [10:27] diogenes, you're the best :) [10:27] installing xfdesktop4 and rebooting solved the issue! [10:28] great :) === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance [17:12] Hello, what is the livecd default user/pass.
