| xubuntunoob | Wow! Hey everybody! I've been playing with Xubuntu for the past month or so and I've been all alone! So cool to see the usernames of so many Xubuntu fans! | 07:10 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntunoob | Folks - I wonder if you can help me go back to plain old Xubuntu after I tried installing Kubuntu for a short while. I had an ordinary installation of Xubuntu 20.xxx LTS and I installed Kubuntu ... I think it was with the command "sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop". I tried it, thought it was cool and everything, but decided to stay with Xubuntu's | 07:16 |
| xubuntunoob | interface. I think I removed all the Kubuntu stuff ... but there's still this gigantic awful login screen that only appeared after I installed Kubuntu. How can I go back to the default login screen? | 07:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | I'm guessing you want to go back to lightdm | 07:21 |
| * pmjdebruijn has never messed with that | 07:21 | |
| pmjdebruijn | stick around someone might know | 07:21 |
| xubuntunoob | Argh - I dunno what happened but I got disconnected | 07:23 |
| xubuntunoob | One guy responded saying that I probably want to go back to LightDM and that I should wait for someone to help me | 07:24 |
| xubuntunoob | that's the last thing I saw | 07:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | maybe try dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 07:24 |
| xubuntunoob | I think I tried that last night at like 3am but I'm not sure. Let me try again to see if it does anything | 07:26 |
| xubuntunoob | Okay - I did it and it still gives me an absolutely enormous greeter - I don't think this is the original greeter, either | 07:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | xubuntunoob: that sounds like you have the kdm greeter in action - try removing it in the pacage manager | 07:50 |
| xubuntunoob | i removed all KDE related things | 07:50 |
| xubuntunoob | i think i got back to the default xubuntu greeter | 07:51 |
| xubuntunoob | now i just need to figure out how to resize it | 07:51 |
| xubuntunoob | I followed instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Greeter | 07:51 |
| well_laid_lawn | xubuntunoob: so it was lightdm you were using. Well done | 08:02 |
| xubuntunoob | Thanks, man! Still can't find out how to resize the greeter - any ideas? | 08:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | not offhand | 08:19 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntunoob, greeter? | 08:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | yes he has a too large greeter and wants to resize it | 08:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | settings in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 08:24 |
| diogenes_ | i suspect nvidia driver. | 08:24 |
| xubuntunoob | i don't have an nvidia card - intel graphics | 08:29 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntunoob, see if there's anything useful in lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings gui. | 08:33 |
| xubuntunoob | unfortunately resizing is not in there :( | 08:38 |
| xubuntunoob | Just tried this and I can't get in my machine - have to ssh in: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1092699/how-to-adjust-display-settings-for-lightdm-greeter-on-18-04 | 08:38 |
| xubuntunoob | had to reverse those changes via ssh. i'm back in with the desktop whew | 08:39 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntunoob, maybe it will make sense to reinstall lightdm. | 08:40 |
| xubuntunoob | how would you recommend i do that? | 08:40 |
| xubuntunoob | with: dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 08:43 |
| xubuntunoob | ? | 08:43 |
| diogenes_ | sudo apt reinstall lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter | 08:44 |
| diogenes_ | then reconfigure | 08:44 |
| xubuntunoob | I see. thank you | 08:46 |
| xubuntunoob | i'll try this now | 08:47 |
| xubuntunoob | besides restarting the machine, how do I reload lightdm to reflect these changes? | 08:50 |
| xubuntunoob | systemctl restart lightdm.service ??? | 08:50 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 08:50 |
| xubuntunoob | well,that was fun | 09:02 |
| xubuntunoob | still trying to resize the greeter | 09:02 |
| xubuntunoob | thanks for your help so far, diogenes | 09:02 |

| professor-mad | hello how can use gtkpod to transfer mp3 to an iphone 6s | 18:28 |
| professor-mad | when i try to mount it i get this error | 18:31 |
| professor-mad | https://www.picpasteplus.com/v.php?i=061c3a3b83 | 18:31 |
| professor-mad | any help | 18:31 |
| professor-mad | ? | 18:31 |
| diogenes_ | professor-mad, if you really desperately need to mount ithings then try a live iso of MX-Linux, it has a builtin tool. | 18:33 |
| professor-mad | diogenes_, so is not possible in xubuntu | 18:40 |
| professor-mad | ? | 18:40 |
| diogenes_ | professor-mad, i didn't say it's not possible, it's that i've never had any ithing and i will never touch one, i only presented you with a quick workaround in case you really need it badly. | 18:41 |
