[05:36] demonio [05:37] look, i started to change my theme configuration, and then, my pc was freezed [05:37] ok, at the terminal, you type this: rm ~demonio/.{X,ICE}authority [05:37] then i restart my pc, and i realized i cannot begin my session [05:37] right, you said it just gets stuck after you login [05:38] no, i enter my username (demonio), and then the password [05:39] ok [05:39] later, the splash screen is shown, but then nothing is loaded, there is no graphic interface, no buttons, and no panels, i cannot see anything [05:39] try the command I said and then try logging in again. If it still does not work, come back [05:39] what does rm ~demonio/.{X,ICE}authority do? [05:40] deletes .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files for the demonio user [05:40] they get recreated automatically [05:41] and what if it doesn't result? [05:41] then you come back [05:42] ok [05:42] thank you very much, i hope i can use my session with that [05:43] when does class start?

[05:55] i could not type ~ [05:55] umm [05:56] ok [05:56] what is the ascii code? [05:56] ok, at the terminal, you type this: rm /home/demonio/.{X,ICE}authority [05:56] you don't need ~ in that one [05:57] it should have no output. If it does have output, then something is wrong and you need to tell me :) [05:57] i have to type that now, or starting my session [05:58] at a terminal [05:58] i remember you i'm at recovery mode as root [05:58] right, taht should work [05:58] so, now i have typed that, press enter? [05:59] yes [05:59] i did it [05:59] no output? [06:00] so, do i have to reboot now? [06:00] ok [06:00] there was no output [06:00] i typed that, and then appeared root again [06:00] good [06:01] are you sure it won't erase my files and data? [06:01] yes [06:02] ok, because i have many videos and music [06:03] when i typed rm ~demonio/.{X,ICE}authority nothing happened [06:03] you should try logging in now [06:04] but when i typed rm /home/demonio/.{X.ICE}authority, the output was: cannot remove .... no such a file or directory [06:04] that's ok [06:04] ok [06:04] thank you very much [06:04] now i will reboot === michael_demonio [n=michael_@190.66.202.33] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [06:18] hi [06:18] jrib nothing result [06:18] k [06:18] when i start my session there is no desktop to show [06:18] try: mv /home/demonio/.gnome2/session{,.backup} [06:19] and what does it do? [06:20] renames ~/.gnome2/session to ~/.gnome2/session.backup [06:21] does it affect my files? [06:21] no [06:22] the output was: cannot stat [06:23] what does this return: ls /home/demonio/.gnome2/session [06:24] no such a file or directory [06:24] strange [06:25] do you have /home/demonio/.xsession-errors ? Can you pastebin that file? [06:25] what i have to do? [06:25] !pastebin [06:25] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:25] do i have to reinstall the ubuntu? [06:25] no [06:26] there is a window where says name, syntax and text [06:27] what do i do there? [06:27] opem /home/demonio/.xsession-errors on your computer and copy and paste the contents to the window where it says "text" [06:27] open* [06:28] by console or by nautilus? [06:28] doesn't matter [06:29] what have i to select at syntax? [06:29] doesn't matter [06:31] in name, type my real name? [06:31] anything you want [06:31] I'll be back in 5 minutes [06:31] ok, thanks [06:31] after you pastebin, paste the url here [06:31] the classroom url? [06:31] and you may want to try logging in one more time, to see if ~/.gnome2/session gets created [06:32] michael_demonio: the url for the web page you get after you press "submit" [06:33] i don't understand [06:35] the url i pasted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [06:40] ok, that's not what I mean [06:40] let's start over [06:40] !pastebin [06:40] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:40] you have your browser open to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org? [06:40] yes [06:41] now in the Text section you have copied what is in your ~/.xsession-errors file and pasted it? [06:41] yes [06:41] now, press the Submit button [06:41] in name i put michael_demonio [06:42] it doesnot says submit, it says paste [06:42] ok, press that [06:42] ok [06:43] now in your address bar, tell me what url there is [06:44] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36910/ [06:44] and the first address was http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36906/ [06:46] and now what? [06:47] now I have to go in a bit, but I will tell you a command that will reset your GNOME settings [06:47] ok, thank you so much [06:48] so, now i have to wait? [06:48] do this command: mv ~demonio/.gnome2{,.backup}; mv ~demonio/.gconfd{,.backup}; mv ~demonio/.gconf{,.backup} [06:49] you're settings will go away, but they are in the *.backup directories if you need something [06:50] if it still doesn't work, it may be easier for you to create a new user and then copy the videos and documents from the old user to the new user. Or, ask in #ubuntu for more help [06:50] good luck, any questions before I go? [06:53] wait [06:53] please [06:54] thank you, i will do that === vistakiller [n=spiros@ppp186-245.adsl.forthnet.gr] has joined #ubuntu-classroom [07:14] jrib and why i can't recover my desktop?
