[14:20] <IdleOne> Do I want to use gdm or lightdm at this point?
[14:21] <ior3k> w00t! Emacs 23.3 has landed!
[14:22] <elros> lightdm was a bit ugly, but it worked
[14:22] <zniavre> how do you use it ? it removed gdm ?
[14:23] <darren_> I've been having trouble with wireless networking since upgrading to 11.10 alpha. It looks like my wireless card isn't being configured, its state is down. dmesg shows iwlagn reports for Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN, REV=0x54, but when I scan for networks none are identified. Is there any information available on the web, do I need to install a different driver or change some configuration to enable wireless?
[14:25] <darren_> also, the icon for plasma-widget-networkmanagement is a red box with a white x in it

[15:02] <yofel> BUGabundo: but I'm not giving you the code that I used to fry your PSU from here.
[15:02] <yofel> (so... what happened really? ^^)
[15:03] <BUGabundo> don't know
[15:03] <BUGabundo> apperently some units have faulty PSUs
[15:03] <charlie-tca> I done good! I had xubuntu switch to lightDM and broke both live cd's
[15:03] <BUGabundo> if you leave it charging too long (a night) it dies
[15:04] <yofel> o.O
[15:04] <yofel> charlie-tca: congrats :P
[15:04] <charlie-tca> thanks, I think :-)
[15:04] <BUGabundo> charlie-tca: that means progress
[15:04] <BUGabundo> yofel: so now I don't have an altertive machine
[15:04] <charlie-tca> that's what I was hi
[15:04] <charlie-tca> that's what I was hoping for, anyway

[15:09] <BUGabundo> nm broken
[15:09] <BUGabundo> gdm,,, erk
[15:09] <BUGabundo> sound works :D
[15:09] <yofel> well, anything NM related except NM itself is broken ^^
[15:09] <BluesKaj> yofel, I don't use network manager , but thanks
[15:09] <BUGabundo> ahah
[15:10] <yofel> ah, then you should be ~fine
[15:10] <BluesKaj> /etc/network/interfaces ..ethernet here , no wifi
[15:11] <yofel> that'll work fine
[15:11] <BluesKaj> kde here as well
[15:14] <BluesKaj> any probs with nvidia drivers?
[15:14] <charlie-tca> oops, too late for saying "good luck"?
[15:15] <charlie-tca> I am using the gallium driver in Xubuntu (experimental driver). I don t know if it is the reason, but no games except solitare are working now
[15:16] <BUGabundo> nauveua or what ever we have now, is working for me
[15:16] <BluesKaj> what about nvidia-current?
[15:18] <BluesKaj> well anyway , I'll find out ...almost done
[15:20] <charlie-tca> Haven't tried nvidia current.
[15:30] <genii-around> Is anyone else having Nautilus opening automatically every boot with Kubuntu, even though it's not in autostart?
[15:31] <BUGabundo> genii-around: a while back
[15:31] <BUGabundo> then it fixed it
[15:31] <BUGabundo> and we still don't have startup manager
[15:36] <charlie-tca> genii-around: yes, it pulls in with a gdm update a couple of days ago. Xubuntu has the same issue
[15:36] <charlie-tca> I just removed nautilus, then had to remove it from autostart also
[15:44] <genii-around> Yes, for the time being I just uninstalled it. Had another issue with CUPS making system unbootable yesterday, even in single-user or to previous kernels. Had to boot to usb, and mv /etc/init/cups.conf in that case, since removing it also wanted to take out kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop
[15:47] <BluesKaj> done , all seems ok som far
[15:47] <BluesKaj> so
[16:00] * BluesKaj dumps pulseaudio...again
[16:01] <Ian_Corne> gah

[16:08] <SudoKing> this alpha seems to be rather stable for me :P
[16:28] <Chipaca> hi all. My oneiric laptop is broken, in that unity doesn't start, gdm isn't drawing itself right half of the time, plugging in a second monitor or projector crashes the box, etc
[16:29] <Chipaca> this all started yesterday afternoon
[16:29] <Chipaca> help?
[16:30] <BluesKaj> SudoKing, yeah same here , so far , but I'm on kde so no issues with desktops etc
[16:50] <CarlFK> what file do I put something like AutomaticLoginEnable=true
[16:50] <CarlFK> in natty it was /etc/gdm/custom.conf .. same does not work for ornery
[16:54] <zniavre> i always thought that automatic login is not a good idea in dev stage
[16:54] <cwillu_at_work> depends on what you need
[16:56] <cwillu_at_work> CarlFK, try timedlogin?
[16:57] <CarlFK> cwillu_at_work: timedlogin - same file?
[16:57] <CarlFK> I was thinking it got moved to gconf
[16:57] <cwillu_at_work> TimedLoginEnable=true\nTimedLogin=cwillu\nTimedLoginDelay=3
[16:57] <cwillu_at_work> but yeah, it could be gconf'd
[17:00] <CarlFK> What do I put in /etc/sudoers to disable the need to enter a password?
[17:00] <CarlFK> or I could just enabel the root account and autologin root. which would make someone cry.
[17:06] <cwillu_at_work> CarlFK, well, there's little difference in many cases :p
[17:06] <cwillu_at_work> man sudoers
[17:08] <CarlFK> Any user may mount or unmount a CD-ROM on the machines in the CDROM Host_Alias (orion, perseus, hercules) without entering a password.
[17:08] <CarlFK> yay. thanks
=== funnylookinhat is now known as FunnyLookinHat
[17:47] <CarlFK> oh hell >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 23 <<<
[17:48] <CarlFK> I am failing to add nopasswd
[17:49] <cwillu_at_work> CarlFK, pastebin?
[17:50] <CarlFK> cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
[17:50] <cwillu_at_work> CarlFK, lol, the default file includes the right command :p
[17:50] <cwillu_at_work> sudo cat /etc/sudors
[17:50] <cwillu_at_work> it's not globally readable
[17:50] <CarlFK> and my sudo is broken
[17:50] <cwillu_at_work> you, sir, are in a pickle
[17:50] <CarlFK> I'll reboot into rescue
[17:51] <cwillu_at_work> reboot in...yeah./
[17:51] <genii-around> Time to boot to single user, edit file, etc etc
[17:51] <cwillu_at_work> any time you're editing sudors, you want to keep an extra root shell handy
[17:51] <cwillu_at_work> sudoers, rather
[17:51] <CarlFK> good idea
[17:52] <cwillu_at_work> anytime you're doing <something that could break foo>, you want to keep an extra <service that only foo can provide> running
[17:52] <cwillu_at_work> remote upgrade? start a second sshd
[17:52] <cwillu_at_work> ect
[17:52] <cwillu_at_work> etc
[17:52] <CarlFK> oh, is that what this does: %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
[17:52] <cwillu_at_work> ?
[17:52] <CarlFK> so I just add the user to sudo ?
[17:53] <cwillu_at_work> # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[17:53] <CarlFK> "the default file includes the right command"
[17:53] <CarlFK> that isn't in my file...
[17:53] <cwillu_at_work> you have a silly file
[17:55] <cwillu_at_work> it's also in the man page
[17:55] <cwillu_at_work> also, a live cd should have a valid example
[17:58] <genii-around> Or also see /usr/share/doc/sudo/sample.sudoers
[19:24] <PoPpiLLs> .
[19:26] <CarlFK> best error today: I type $ sudo chmod 440 group_sudo
[19:26] <CarlFK> and see...
[19:26] <CarlFK> sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/group_sudo is mode 0644, should be 0440
[19:26] <CarlFK> makes my head hurt.
[19:28] <BluesKaj> CarlFK, to edit sudoers , use 'sudo visudo' in the terminal
[19:29] <CarlFK> the vi is a lie.
[19:29] <BluesKaj> I hate to say it , but it works for me
[19:30] <CarlFK> for me it uses ... um.. nano I think
[19:34] <Pici> it respects $EDITOR
[20:13] <SK{Laptop}> i jinxed myself, i'm no longer able to log in w/o it crashing :P

[21:15] <nit-wit> So what is the access to the appearance==theme control?
[21:39] <trism> nit-wit: need to edit gsettings/gconf by hand for now (there is also gnome-tweak-tool, however it doesn't really seem much better than just using dconf-editor). I especially like the TODO line in gnome-control-center: "Appearance and Themes: - blah"
[21:40] <nit-wit> trism, thanks I will look around.;)
[22:01] <CarlFK> who thought it would be funny to bind up arrow to screen shot?
[22:04] <Pici> Thats happened in the past... I forget what caused it then.
[22:08] <CarlFK> whats the ^x to go up a line in bash?
[22:08] <CarlFK> ohh, I think !! will do most of what I want
[22:43] <BUGabundo> hi
