[08:30] <gidna> ii  lightdm-gtk-greeter   2.0.6-1    amd64   simple display manager (GTK+ greeter)
[08:30] <gidna> maybe I have to change this # greeter-hide-users=false
[08:30] <gidna> uncomment this line
[08:31] <Unit193> If you have defined that somewhere else, then you could just remove the line from there, but yeah that could work too.
[08:31] <gidna> but I get "You're trying to modify a read only file"
[08:33] <Unit193> If you execute `lightdm-gtk-greeter --help` it should show you what files you're reading from.  That's likely because it's a system file, and you're trying to edit it as a user.

[08:34] <gidna> ** Message: 10:34:14.595: [Configuration] Reading file: /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
[08:34] <gidna> so which one have I to modify?
[08:35] <Unit193> ...Are you even using Xubuntu?
[08:35] <Unit193> /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf would be the file, since if you remove /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/01_debian.conf it'll just be replaced on upgrade/re-install.
[08:35] <gidna> Unit193, not yet but it should be the same..
[08:35] <Unit193> gidna: It's very much not the same...Please use the correct channel in the future.
[08:36] <Unit193> For example: In Debian you have to type in the username but in Xubuntu it defaults to the last one used.
[08:37] <gidna> Unit193, maybe 'cause you have # greeter-hide-users=false already uncommented??
[08:37] <Unit193> No, Debian ships /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/01_debian.conf which defines greeter-hide-users as 'true', so it technically is the one that differs from upstream defaults.
[08:38] <Unit193> Err, actually sorry.  That's /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf that defines it.
[08:39] <Unit193> gidna: Regardless, you'll want to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[08:39] <gidna> Unit193, but you have to set it as # greeter-hide-users=false not true..
[12:56] <Guest_10> Hello
[12:56] <Guest_10> I forget the name I went by but a few years ago I had xubuntu. I wish I rmemebered my name lol
[12:58] <Guest_10> I am considering getting some kind of Linux again on my computer, can anyone help me? I'm using a Lenovo X131e, and I am unsure how to reinstall windows 7 if I ever would want it back.
[12:59] <well_laid_lawn> you can dual boot
[12:59] <well_laid_lawn> !dualboot
[13:00] <Guest_10> I might not want to dual boot though
[13:00] <Guest_10> Is it possible to restore windows without a CD? My computer has no disk drive
[13:01] <tomreyn> you're on a xubuntu support channel
[13:02] <tomreyn> you can probably prepare a windows installer usb stick from xubuntu, using a software called woeusb.
[13:02] <tomreyn> (which is not part of ubuntu)
[13:02] <Guest_10> thanks
[13:04] <tomreyn> if you're about to replace windows by ubuntu, consider installing any firmware upgrades before you do so - many vendors do not provide tooling for this on linux yet, sadly.
[13:05] <Guest_10> thank you for the tips
[13:05] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[23:12] <PoolShark_> ok I have some time to throw at this bluetooth problem.. xubuntu 18.04 installed fresh a few days ago.. bluetooth audio worked great until the night before last, and suddenly stopped. now it will not pair with my BT speakers at all.. tried removing, repairing, etc... no avail
