| Jairun | So I was just flipping through themes on my new xubuntu 10.04 install when XFCE crashed and dumped me to the login screen. Any further attempts to login just result in me ending back at the login screen. | 04:04 |
| Jairun | I'm thinking maybe one of the themes is corrupt/broken? | 04:05 |
| charlie-tca | Can you use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to a tty? | 04:07 |
| charlie-tca | you will need to delete the theme file from the system | 04:07 |
| Jairun | I'm on a TTY now | 04:08 |
| Jairun | screen/irssi/ also running an update | 04:08 |
| Jairun | fumbling around with w3m since I didn't get links installed before I started updating | 04:09 |
| Jairun | Problem is. I have no idea what theme I selected when it broke | 04:09 |
| Jairun | I wasn't really paying attention to the names | 04:09 |
| charlie-tca | It's okay. When done running updates, you go into /home/USER_NAME/.cache/sessions | 04:10 |
| charlie-tca | delete any saved session | 04:10 |
| Jairun | Okies, I'll give that a try | 04:11 |
| charlie-tca | also check for any file called xfce4-splash??? | 04:11 |
| charlie-tca | delete that one too | 04:11 |
| charlie-tca | then restart. You should be able to log in again | 04:12 |
| charlie-tca | Most of the time, a theme called Balou is responsible for this issue | 04:12 |
| Jairun | looks like there are some thunar-[gibberish] files in sessoin. about all I see | 04:12 |
| charlie-tca | Delete those | 04:13 |
| charlie-tca | You can also look in /home/USER_NAME/.config/xfce4 for anything to delete | 04:14 |
| charlie-tca | It would probably be under xfwm4 in there | 04:14 |
| Jairun | .config/xfwm4 is empty | 04:16 |
| charlie-tca | that is a good thing :-) | 04:16 |
| Jairun | So you mention balou seems to be causing this frequently. Any idea what's breaking? | 04:17 |
| charlie-tca | no, I don't . Not even the developers seem to be able to pin it down | 04:18 |
| Jairun | ah, goodie :) | 04:19 |
| Jairun | so the clearing of the cache and whatnot is mostly voodo then :-p | 04:20 |
| charlie-tca | It works | 04:20 |
| Jairun | never said voodo doesn't work | 04:20 |
| charlie-tca | It removes the parts making it not work | 04:20 |
| charlie-tca | I have one more if needed. | 04:20 |
| Jairun | I'm thinking about blowing away that theme as well. | 04:21 |
| charlie-tca | It removes the saved theme that fails. | 04:21 |
| Jairun | ah | 04:21 |
| charlie-tca | I don't actually know if balou was responsible for your issue, but has been known to cause this issue. | 04:22 |
| Jairun | alrighty. lets see what happens | 04:31 |
| Jairun | no love | 04:34 |
| Jairun | here's my ~/.xession-errors http://pastebin.com/jCvV7ENX | 04:41 |
| charlie-tca | okay, got one more for you | 04:41 |
| charlie-tca | delete the session in .cache again | 04:42 |
| charlie-tca | then delete everything in .config/xfce4/xfconf/sfce-perchannel-xml | 04:43 |
| charlie-tca | then delete .gconfd/saved_state | 04:43 |
| charlie-tca | then reboot | 04:43 |
| charlie-tca | uh, that should have been .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml | 04:45 |
| Jairun | yeah figured | 04:46 |
| Jairun | that's gonna blow away all my settings isn't it? | 04:46 |
| charlie-tca | No, not until you delete everything in .cache | 04:47 |
| charlie-tca | It will blow some away, but not everything. | 04:47 |
| Jairun | cool | 04:47 |
| Jairun | aight, lets try this | 04:47 |
| Jairun | brb | 04:47 |
| Jairun | that's the ticket :) Thanks | 04:54 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 04:59 |

| lxmark | Hi, | 15:24 |
| lxmark | I just installed xubuntu the other day on my Toshiba laptop U505-S2950. I have fount that the fan doesn't run when the machine warms up. How do I reset the fan temperature activation points so that it will come on. | 15:25 |
| Sysi | it should be in BIOS menu | 15:26 |
| lxmark | I would have thought so, I haven't checked there. My reason for this is that I also run opensuse on this computer and it starts the fan up pretty much right away. The xubuntu doesn't do so, ever. I have read in the Opensuse stuff how temperature activation points are controlled from somewhere in config files, so I thought that it might be the same in xubuntu. But being new to the system, I don't know where they are. | 15:29 |
| lxmark_ | I noticed that during the installation of xubuntu there was a package that was automatically installed that was something like ASUS laptop temperature control. I had assumed that this was the program that would provide the temperature control scheme. | 15:34 |
| jk_ | I'm running Lucid on three machines; two of them have the "applications" menu that I'm familiar with from Hardy, but this one has a very different menu. Where is the configuration file that controls this? | 15:52 |
| TheSheep | jk_: what do you mean by different? | 15:57 |
| jk_ | TheSheep, This one has lines at the top for Terminal, File Manager, and Browser, with Ubuntu Software Center moved from the top down to the System submenu. It also has about five times as many entries. | 15:59 |
| jk_ | That "five times" is for the Settings submenu. | 16:01 |
