| InHisName1 | morning all | 09:35 |
| InHisName1 | OK, I rebooted. grub seems OK. Can't login though. | 09:36 |
| InHisName1 | Seems login is working for only 0.5 seconds though. There is text on screen each line goes down one line but not a CR. Last line says -- Home is /home/testuser/.vnc/ubuntu:1.log | 09:38 |
| InHisName1 | I do cntrl-alt F2 and can log into term session. I tail that log file last item there is: Option "--login" is not longer supported in this version of gnome-terminal; you might want to create a profile with the desired setting, and use the new "--profile" option | 09:41 |
| InHisName1 | So, experts out there, where/how do I create this profile ? btw /home/testuser is not for the user I can login with - /home/rich is proper one, It seems weird that /home/testuser shows up as last line when logging into gui as rich and not testuser. | 09:44 |
| InHisName1 | I checked /home/rich/.vnc/ubuntu:1.log it has same line near end with same date. There is one more line here -->Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension. | 09:57 |
| InHisName1 | I was still in testuser directory. rich does not have any ubuntu:1.log or ubuntu:1.pid like testuser does. Those files dated Oct 15 5:57pm not today. That time was about when login screen became available. | 10:05 |
| InHisName1 | seems .vnc login is for remote access login, so not sure why that is last message flashed on screen when logging in with 'rich'. | 10:07 |
| InHisName1 | Maybe I could shut down Ctrl-alt F7 gui and just try to 'manually' start gui from ctrl-alt F2, maybe could see more errors longer. | 10:08 |
| InHisName1 | Some google posts mention switching lightgdm to gdm or autologin needs to be disabled. I might have had autologin set in natty, so how to unset via terminal mode ? searching meanwhile | 10:26 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 10:38 |
| InHisName1 | morning JonathanD | 10:38 |
| InHisName1 | I tried a fix for crashing nautilus at start: apt-get remove nautilus-open-terminal but it was already not installed. | 10:39 |
| InHisName1 | someone put entry on ubuntuforums about a brief login and back to login prompt. Suggest one of bugs filed may be involved. I'll read further after church. | 12:43 |
| InHisName | Hey! I'm logged into my main computer now. | 13:07 |
| InHisName | I fixed it by changing owner & group to rich from root for .Xauthority I checked /home/testuser/.Xauthority and it was testuser for owner and group. | 13:08 |
| InHisName | I don't know how the ownership and group got changed or why. There were others suffering the same fate for Oneiric entered in ubuntuforums. | 13:09 |
| InHisName | Well, off to church now. | 13:09 |
| InHisName | never got into church, kids went ballistic. 911, police, long talks, etc. Now home in separate bedrooms for rest of day. So to avoid giving them much attention, I'll be here on and off alot today. | 15:35 |
| MutantTurkey | what! | 15:56 |
| MutantTurkey | InHisName you can't j ust say that and then not tell the whole story | 15:57 |
| InHisName | We are still writing for next few hours for DHS and others that need to know. Sorry MutantTurkey but if we have a clever summary at end, maybe I can paste it to you when its completed. | 16:13 |
| InHisName | Right now each of us is in separate places to relax the brain energies. Similar to classic 'time out' but for everyone. | 16:16 |
| MutantTurkey | oh boy | 16:17 |
| MutantTurkey | Homeland Security? | 16:17 |
| InHisName | So wife is crocheting, I am computing. Check on kids for 1 minute each about 2x an hour. VERY boring for them. They 'loose' 29/30 of my attention. | 16:17 |
| MutantTurkey | or Human Services... | 16:17 |
| InHisName | pretty similar | 16:18 |
| MutantTurkey | InHisName: did you upgrade to oneiric? | 16:18 |
| InHisName | HomeBound security | 16:18 |
| MutantTurkey | ah | 16:18 |
| InHisName | yes, was VERY reluctant to reboot. warnings of grub upgrade errors. | 16:18 |
| InHisName | Did several fixes for grub2 and this morning gambled on rebooting. | 16:19 |
| MutantTurkey | irrelevant http://imgur.com/UDX7T | 16:19 |
| InHisName | Couldn't login main user. guest could ! | 16:19 |
| InHisName | Then tried Ctrl-Alt-F2 I could log in there. | 16:20 |
| InHisName | Gui problem. Posted buncha stuff here this early morn. | 16:20 |
| InHisName | Finally stumbled on ubuntuforums entry that described me exactly. | 16:20 |
| InHisName | At login prompt, I type in password. I see screen with text lines, down line (no cr) more line, etc. There were several suggestions but one said the .Xauthority file had wrong owner and group. Yep, mine was root root. Changed to rich rich. Now it works. | 16:22 |
| MutantTurkey | nice | 16:23 |
| MutantTurkey | well at least that was resolved | 16:23 |
| MutantTurkey | I have thesixtyone(like pandora) website in a full screen browser, with no borders, set below all my windows | 16:28 |
| MutantTurkey | so my background is my music player! | 16:28 |
| MutantTurkey | http://imagebin.org/179326 | 16:36 |
| MutantTurkey | look its so pretty | 16:36 |
| MutantTurkey | :x | 16:36 |
| InHisName | izzat your dad or anyone you know in the website, MutantTurkey ? | 16:40 |
| InHisName | Have you noticed when mouse hovers over somthing, that after a few seconds it DOES it without any clicking ? | 16:42 |

| InHisName | Just noticed it was really wide picture with words hidden off my window | 16:44 |
| MutantTurkey | :) | 16:45 |
| InHisName | Its my mouse or mouse driver. Hovering the arrow or hand pointer fills up with orange and 'clicks' for me ! | 17:04 |
| InHisName | Checked mouse settings but found nothing about it yet. | 17:04 |
