[02:07] <sebsebseb> hi
[11:37] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:11] <goaulds> RIP altavista.com
[13:57] <goaulds>  Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw
[16:43] <SuperLag> Nice. I do an upgrade this morning, and now X won't start... I'm stuck in a loop of the system trying to start X. However, when I send Ctrl-Alt-F* to the VM, to try to boot into console and look at logs, it keeps trying to start X
[16:43] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: Boot from your Live image, chroot in, smash your .Xauthority and try it again.
[16:44] <SuperLag> SonikkuAmerica: refresh my memory... is that in ~?
[16:44] <SuperLag> the .Xauthority file, that is
[16:44] <SonikkuAmerica> Yeah (your home folder)
[16:44] <SuperLag> got it.
[16:45] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: You can also mount your drive in a fileman and smash it there and reboot without your live image.
[16:47] <SuperLag> SonikkuAmerica: How do you do that? (since it's a VM, whose drive is a .vmdk file)
[16:47] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: VBox, VMware or QEMU?
[16:47] <SuperLag> SonikkuAmerica: VMware Workstation 9
[16:48] <SonikkuAmerica> I dunno how to work VMware, but find a way to mount your ISO file or written media and boot from it (VMware should have those options).
[16:49] <SuperLag> SonikkuAmerica: I'm familiar with how to boot from the live/install media... as that's how I installed in the first place. It was the mounting the drive in fileman that I'm not sure about.
[16:50] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: You should be able to do that from your Live session. In Unity, open Nautilus and look on that left pane for your drive (XX.X GB Filesystem). Then go to /home/$USERNAME/ on that drive.
[16:51] <SuperLag> Yeah, so no matter what, looks like I still have to boot from the live media.
[16:51] <SuperLag> No problem.
[16:51] <SonikkuAmerica> Yeah.
[16:51] <SuperLag> I just thought you were saying there is a way to do it from the host system
[16:51] <SuperLag> (without needing to boot live media)
[16:52] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: There is, but you seem to indicate no matter what it always tries to start X
[16:52] <SuperLag> yeah
[16:52] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: Log into a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7]), then [ rm -rf ~/.Xauthority ] and reboot
[16:52] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: You may be able to do it in recovery mode too
[16:53] <SonikkuAmerica> SuperLag: Drop to a root shell from recovery, and run [ rm -rf /home/$USERNAME/.Xauthority ] and reboot
[17:04] <SuperLag> SonikkuAmerica: got it. However, it didn't fix the issue.
[17:04] <SuperLag> same symptoms
[17:04] <SonikkuAmerica> Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...
[17:05] <SonikkuAmerica> Hmm...
[17:20] <goaulds> just eat some fine ratatoiulle, now its time to code some white lines
[17:36] <SuperLag> looks like X is segfaulting on libpixman

[17:40] <SuperLag> (if I'm reading that right)
[21:55] <SuperLag> Am I reading that right?
