Ubuntu Questions on U&L

13:28

1

Q: Find packages not maintained in main repo?

E.g. Ubuntu Server offers only security updates for software contained in the main repository - how can I check, which installed packages are / are not in the main repo? Thanks!

Prasad

@Anwar yes...it's his guide and now he is not here :-)...kk..i'll BREAK IT & come

jokerdino

@Anwar he means he is lost

Anwar

oh.

Prasad

ZORO is here :-)

Takkat

@Prasad haven't done this recently but it should - XServer is still there.

Prasad

13:29

no...i'm asking this

Load Custom Session On Login
If we now define to load our session "Custom" during the given user's login at the gdm screen only the X-Terminal will be started and we will be back at gdm on exit. Next time we login as the user this setting will be remembered as default.

it says GDM...is it ok with 12.04?

jokerdino

Search Google for site:askubuntu.com WARNING - Could not get usefulness from server, no username in config file -"closed by"

Takkat

@Prasad It should be - I wrote it back then when we all had GDM only. But lightdm will do basically the same in this case. But I have only tested with GDM however.

Prasad

@Takkat OK thanks

Anwar

BRB

Prasad

@Takkat and another thing..as FF...should I add other entries to the script (those in the startup applications)

@Anwar bye

@takkat OK...i think I learned something from the script....OK ubuntu HERE IS MY CUSTOM DE (am I right?)

Takkat

13:35

@Prasad yeah you need to start all that is started now + Cairo Dock

logout finally.

Prasad

@Takkat wait...how to add gnome-classic to this...just gnome-classic?

Pranit Bauva

i am back but not in black!!!

jokerdino

Welcome back

Prasad

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/at-spi2-core/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately

Pranit Bauva

jokerdino

13:41

Sure.

Check out my blog post ^_^

Pranit Bauva

wp.me/p1SdC6-9Z

Pranit Bauva

oh! Anwar ! good!

Prasad

ok wish me luck..gonna logout...maybe forever..

jokerdino

13:42

The instructions aren't straightforward to prevent driveby newbies from installing it.

Takkat

@Prasad its gnome-session --session=GNOME or any other as defined in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions

Anwar

lol

Pranit Bauva

its okay .. i will manage it jokerdino !

jokerdino

@PranitBauva good luck

Pranit Bauva

thanks!

Takkat

13:43

<-- is only 10% here because of the workload on the other side of my desk

jokerdino

Ouch.

@Prasad you are now banned from disturbing Takkat.

^_^

Anwar

@jokerdino i am saving an answer without answering it. :)

jokerdino

How is that possible?

Anwar

ok. i'm testing

Prasad

@jokerdino who told you so...takkat?

Anwar

13:46

the drafts are automatically saved after some time period

jokerdino

@Prasad I

Prasad

ok....nothing....

jokerdino

@Anwar oh yeah

Anwar

click post an answer, write something

wait .... then leave

jokerdino

i know

Prasad

13:47

a message displayed that .xsession is not starting or anything similar...

Anwar

i would be surprised, if you didn't know

jokerdino

oops

Prasad

trying another way....

Anwar

i created a custom avant session before.

Prasad

@Anwar so?

Anwar

13:48

oh. wait..

isn't cairo-dock installing a custom session now?

Prasad

@Anwar ?? didn't get u?

Anwar

If you install cairo-dock, there should be a session entry for it

Prasad

@Anwar yes there is a session in the login screen

jrg

If Disk utility displays one more SATA hard drive as ATA, I'm going to flip out.

Prasad

lol

aking1012

13:51

@Anwar i thought cairo-dock was deprecated in favor of glx-dock?

jrg

or rather, why do laptop manufacturers build them as a ATA > SATA cable, so the motherboard "sees" a ATA drive?!

Anwar

@Prasad you want both gnome-classic and cairo-dock? or only a custom cairo-dock

Prasad

@Anwar both gnome-classic and cairo

jrg

(at least they are consistent about it) </rant>

Anwar

@aking1012 i don't know much. i install it with cairo-dock

Prasad

13:52

@jrg yes I do care..but it's over my head

jrg

@Prasad yeah, i know.

it's just so stupid that it does that.

i mean, i know why they do it, I know how they do it, but I hate the fact it does it.

Prasad

last log out for the day...let me

Amith KK

BBL

Prasad

@AmithKK bye

ok...it worked...but no WM and only Classic theme...and also this msg....Failed to load /home/prasad/.xsession

jokerdino

OK wrote an answer for "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)". Let the closing begin.

Anwar

14:00

@Prasad is it gnome-classic or GNOME-CLASSIC?

jokerdino

"e: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" closed:0 answers:0

Anwar

:6065547
    if [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" = "Gnome-Classic" ]; then
        avant-window-navigator --startup
    fi

Prasad

14:02

I loaded the cairodock+gnome classic with effects and it loaded the cairo dock well...now I am trying to start the panel .how to autostart panel

Anwar

use this as a script, replace avant... with the exec line of cairo-dock. see what happens

add the script in startup

Prasad

@Anwar ok..adding now

Anwar

@jokerdino can you write a canonical answer on 'malformed source line'?

i think, if we list all possible cases we can get one

already existing questions can help

Prasad

@Anwar is your script correct? running it from terminal give errors

jokerdino

dont we have one?

Anwar

14:12

do we?

@Prasad i've copied a script and modified it. not really mine

Prasad

6065547: command not found

Anwar

i'm also checking

Prasad

OK

jokerdino

Q: Battery indicator(Battery not Present)

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as dual boot in my ACER ASPIRE 5745G laptop which has a WIN 7 Home Prem preinstalled in C: I have installed it from Windows 7 by using a Windows installer from the official Ubuntu download site. My Ubuntu has been installed in a separate partition of D: When I am...

battery

Anwar

yeah. telling

jokerdino

14:20

@SirCharlo Let the people who need more rep go forth!

Prasad

@Anwar lol

jrg

@jokerdino so when this pops up for you, don't freak out.

jokerdino

@jrg I would :S

Anwar

@Prasad i've put the script on`./.config/autostart` then on the startup application i added that script by clicking browse

SirCharlo

@jrg is that a serious question?

jrg

14:21

@SirCharlo Yes.

I can't find anything on how to do it using Linux tools - lots of windows utilities claim to do the trick though.

Anwar

@Prasad that's all.. logout and login

tested with unity

Prasad

@Anwar but that script didn't work on terminal

isn't it?

SirCharlo

@jrg did you try using clonezilla?

jokerdino

52 mins ago, by jokerdino

Search Google for site:askubuntu.com WARNING - Could not get usefulness from server, no username in config file -"closed by"

Anwar

@Prasad did you test it in gnome-classic or unity?

if you are on unity, it shouldn't work. test that on gnome-classic

Prasad

14:23

mm unity?

Anwar

because the condition was if gnome-classic then ...

Prasad

I think I see the problem here lol

jokerdino

@SirCharlo if you want to, please add an answer.

jrg

@SirCharlo i can't find a way to run it on a ubuntu USB, only the clonezilla live env.

Prasad

yep..working

jrg

14:24

maybe i'm just looking in the wrong place.

Prasad

wait unitl logout

SirCharlo

@jokerdino nah, im not a rep wh*re :)

jokerdino

@SirCharlo Do I look like one???

jrg

@jokerdino @SirCharlo yes, you do. ;P

jokerdino

:'(

SirCharlo

14:26

@jokerdino i wasnt inferring you were

jokerdino

Ah good

SirCharlo

@jrg you want to clone your windows installation absolutely with a live ubuntu installation?

jrg

@SirCharlo I can get knoppix or something else, but I don't have a bootable copy of Windows around.

SirCharlo

@jrg clonezilla is a live cd

jrg

@SirCharlo back in my day, it was a piece of software. Although I may be thinking of something else. I'll try the clonezilla one.

Amith KK

14:28

Im baaaack

SirCharlo

@jrg its called clonezilla live now

jrg

CRAP. RUN. AMITHKK IS ALIVE!

6

Amith KK

lol

SirCharlo

@jrg due to the fact that it's now a distro!

> The Free Software Lab at the NCHC has combined Debian Live with Clonezilla to produce "Clonezilla Live," a software that can be used to easily clone individual machines.

jrg

@SirCharlo Lame. Ok, downloading now.

SirCharlo

14:30

@jrg it works really well. just take your time reading all the options

jrg

@SirCharlo okie-dokie.

Prasad

@Anwar script is working ..but no cairo dock...

SirCharlo

@jrg And if your destination partition is smaller than your source partition, then you'll need to check the "-icds" option to ignore the size checking.

@jrg (in expert mode)

jrg

ok

aking1012

morning peeps

Anwar

14:33

@Prasad what is the cairo-dock's .desktop file's exec line? make sure you used that lines

Prasad

@Anwar I think I found a way....wait..i'll tell you how..

Q: Ubuntu 12.10 New Icon Theme and Login Sound

Will the final release of Ubuntu 12.10 get a new icon theme like Lubuntu 12.10? I hope they will because the existing ones look boring. Plus what happened to the new Login Sound that was discussed during the 12.04 LTS release? I hope they introduce these new things in 12.10 release....

sound themes icons startup 12.10

katya sehgal

http://askubuntu.com/questions/184832/previously-used-tags-in-blogilo

jokerdino

hey.

SirCharlo

@katyasehgal Sorry, your question has been flagged for closure, as it falls outside of the scope defined in the FAQ

jokerdino

i was looking at that question.

Prasad

@Anwar OK..let me check

jokerdino

@katyasehgal I don't think it is possible.

@JorgeCastro What actually happened?

katya sehgal

14:41

@jokerdino it is a feature in other clients.

jokerdino

@katyasehgal sure yes. but you have to ask the blogilo devs

SirCharlo

@katyasehgal contact the devs of that app

Jorge Castro

@jrg yeah that would be nice

jokerdino

Ask Ubuntu unfortunately is not the right venue.

Jorge Castro

@jokerdino what do you mean?

jokerdino

14:41

@JorgeCastro What did vanvugt figure?

Jorge Castro

oh

jrg

@jokerdino go submit some code to the unity codebase - get unity --reset aliased to the right dconf thingies.

Jorge Castro

how to reset in 12.10

katya sehgal

@jokerdino am searching for some contact info. I knew it's a dev issue. Contacted here to see if there is a workaround.

jokerdino

@JorgeCastro aha nice.

i was looking at the forum thread but didn't fully read it

@jrg sounds like a nice idea o.O

katya sehgal

14:43

@jokerdino allright.

jokerdino

@katyasehgal You can file a bug report to blogilo devs. :)

Prasad
