[00:11] <rmg51> jedijf:  Teddy's old laptop is now booting into 11.10
[00:11] <rmg51> clean install
[00:17] <jedijf> rmg51: awesome
[00:17] <rmg51> not so awesome
[00:17] <jedijf> pretend
[00:18] <rmg51> I have atop panel and a blank white desktop
[00:18] <rmg51> can't click on anything
[00:25] <jedijf> try alt tab
[00:25] <jedijf> on login screen what session was it?
[00:25] <rmg51> nothing is showing on the desktop
[00:26] <rmg51> all I can get is a blank white screen
[00:26] <rmg51> nothing shows if I click on something
[00:27] <rmg51> alt tab showed that two things are open but nothing is on the screen
[00:28] <jedijf> log out, and see what session it's trying, try 2d then log back in
[00:29] <rmg51> I'm rebooting now
[00:31] <rmg51> 2d seems to be working
[00:31] <jedijf> \o/
[00:32] <rmg51> log in screen is different
[00:33] <rmg51> top right corner is a little gear that you have to click to show options
[00:36] <rmg51> no wireless
[00:37] <jedijf> type drivers in the dash thingy 'additional drivers' should show up
[00:38] <rmg51> doing that now
[00:39] <rmg51> installing nvidia drivers
[00:45] <rmg51> taking a long time to log out
[00:48] <rmg51> booted into regular Ubuntu
[00:48] <rmg51> which has wireless
[00:49] <rmg51> and it works
[00:56] <jedijf> so it's 3d untiy?
[00:59] <rmg51> should be
[09:35] <InHisName1> morning all
[09:36] <InHisName1> OK, I rebooted.   grub seems OK.   Can't login though.
[09:38] <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
[09:41] <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
[09:44] <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.
[09:57] <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.
[10:05] <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.
[10:07] <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'.
[10:08] <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.
[10:26] <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
[10:38] <JonathanD> Morning.
[10:38] <InHisName1> morning JonathanD
[10:39] <InHisName1> I tried a fix for crashing nautilus at start:  apt-get remove nautilus-open-terminal but it was already not installed.
[12:43] <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.
[13:07] <InHisName> Hey!   I'm logged into my main computer now.
[13:08] <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.
[13:09] <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.
[15:35] <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.
[15:56] <MutantTurkey> what!
[15:57] <MutantTurkey> InHisName you can't j ust say that and then not tell the whole story
[16:13] <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.
[16:16] <InHisName> Right now each of us is in separate places to relax the brain energies.   Similar to classic 'time out' but for everyone.
[16:17] <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...
[16:18] <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.
[16:19] <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 !
[16:20] <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.
[16:22] <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.
[16:23] <MutantTurkey> nice
[16:23] <MutantTurkey> well at least that was resolved
[16:28] <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!
[16:36] <MutantTurkey> http://imagebin.org/179326
[16:36] <MutantTurkey> look its so pretty
[16:36] <MutantTurkey> :x
[16:40] <InHisName> izzat your dad or anyone you know in the website, MutantTurkey ?
[16:42] <InHisName> Have you noticed when mouse hovers over somthing, that after a few seconds it DOES it without any clicking ?
[16:42] <MutantTurkey> wait what?
[16:42] <MutantTurkey> InHisName:no that guy in the background is the artist that is playing
[16:42] <MutantTurkey> :)
[16:42] <InHisName> calvin@boxi: etc.
[16:42] <MutantTurkey> oh thats me

[16:43]  * MutantTurkey so confused
[16:43] <InHisName> must be www.colinrossmusic.com fella
[16:44] <MutantTurkey> yeah
[16:44] <InHisName> Just noticed it was really wide picture with words hidden off my window
[16:45] <MutantTurkey> :)
[17:04] <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.

[18:36] <InHisName> how do I shut off 'hover-click' its driving me bonkers.
[18:40] <InHisName> Now I found it, under 'system settings'  --   'universal Access'  pointing and clicking tab --> hover-click on/off.
[18:40] <InHisName> Ahhhh much better
[18:49] <rmg51> well, I think my old laptop is done for :P

[20:52] <rmg51> 2 down 2 to go
[21:57] <InHisName> rmg51: can you 'hover' the mouse arrow over a link in browser or something ?   Is 'hover-click' enabled in your installation ?  about 5 seconds hover to ghost the click for me.
[21:59] <rmg51> InHisName you seem to be the only one with those issues
[22:48] <InHisName> So its not really being set for everyone.   Real annoying.  Now its fine in off state.
