| drbean_ | What's the app that allows you to boot an image file off a CD or usb drive on an older system that doesn't allow booting off those drives? | 07:17 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | Hmm... PXE? | 07:18 |
| tsimonq2 | I'm not sure what you're referring to. | 07:18 |
| diogenes_ | drbean_, have a look at this: https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html | 07:20 |
| drbean_ | I have an older laptop that I can't boot off a usb drive (I think I can boot off a CD drive) | 07:22 |
| drbean_ | I want to boot it off the usb drive. | 07:22 |
| drbean_ | I think plop is what I was thinking of. | 07:23 |
| diogenes_ | drbean_, with the link i have given you, you boot from cd and there you will heve the possibility to boot from usb | 07:23 |
| diogenes_ | it works very cool | 07:23 |
| ciphergyst | Does anyone know the command to invoke the screen lock on boot? currently shutdown or reboot loads unlocked session. I believe the default lock screen is lightdm-gtk | 20:49 |
| wxl | newer versions should be using lightlocker | 20:49 |
| ciphergyst | it might be light locker, you are right | 20:50 |
| wxl | `light-locker-command -l` should invoke locking if the github page is to be believed | 20:51 |
| ciphergyst | ** (light-locker:4219): WARNING **: 13:53:20.054: screensaver already running in this session | 20:54 |
| ciphergyst | I can manually lock from the GUI, but need it to invoke during boot or system startup | 20:55 |
| wxl | what version are you on? | 20:56 |
| ciphergyst | 18.04 LTS | 20:58 |
| wxl | huh | 21:01 |
| wxl | that works just fine for me | 21:01 |
| wxl | what does `light-locker-command -q` give you? | 21:01 |
| ciphergyst | The screensaver is inactive | 21:01 |
| wxl | what about -n or -r? | 21:02 |
| ciphergyst | missing argument | 21:03 |
| wxl | ugh great. | 21:03 |
| wxl | you sure you don't have some other locker/screensaver system running? | 21:03 |
| wxl | yeah well SOMETHING has changed because i can't replicate the same behavior | 21:06 |
| ciphergyst | yeah, its weird | 21:09 |
| ciphergyst | I'm guessing i would need to poke around the systemd files | 21:09 |
| wxl | or some log somewhere, though i'm not sure where | 21:10 |
| wxl | in ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf do you have a value for screensaver/command? | 21:11 |
| ciphergyst | let me check | 21:12 |
| wxl | you shouldn't, fwiw | 21:12 |
| ciphergyst | I cant seem to find that specific path | 21:18 |
| wxl | well that might be your problem right there | 21:19 |
| wxl | the default configuration certainly has it | 21:19 |
| ciphergyst | unless its in a different directory | 21:20 |
| wxl | it's not | 21:20 |
| wxl | maaybe you didn't capitalize the L in Lubuntu? | 21:20 |
| ciphergyst | cd ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf | 21:22 |
| wxl | um | 21:22 |
| wxl | you can't cd to a file | 21:22 |
| ciphergyst | good point | 21:22 |
| wxl | XD | 21:22 |
| ciphergyst | Im still a linux noob haha | 21:23 |
| ciphergyst | got it open in leafpad | 21:24 |
| ciphergyst | no value in screensaver/command | 21:25 |
