[03:21] ok [03:21] the text login line yes? [03:21] yes [03:22] login [03:22] and type vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:22] wait, sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:23] there is no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 [03:24] yes, it should create it [03:25] ok [03:25] i have an empty file there now (xorg.conf) [03:25] press i [03:25] and type: [03:25] Section "Device" [03:25] Identifier "Intel GMA3600" [03:25] Driver "fbdev" [03:26] EndSection [03:26] after that press ESC [03:26] then type :quit [03:27] k, that is done [03:27] ok [03:27] now lxsession [03:27] and ctrl-alt-f7 [03:28] i do see an old core file in /etc/X11 [03:30] sorry, is lxsession a command? [03:30] yes [03:30] k, it returned messages: [03:31] Session is (null) [03:31] DE is (null) [03:31] No session set ... [03:31] No desktop env ... [03:31] hmm [03:31] Gtk- [03:31] oops [03:31] Press cttrl-alt-delete [03:31] k [03:32] it should reboot now [03:32] last line was warning *** cannot open display [03:32] rebooting now [03:32] still got 2 lines i could not read on reboot [03:33] reboot is running.... [03:34] esc shows LightDM failed [03:34] is it stuck? [03:34] and plymouth failed, too [03:35] yes reboot still looping [03:35] Are there still messages continuing or is it stuck on one? [03:35] If it's stuck what's the last one [03:37] last 2 lines are * Stopping cpu interrupts balancing daemon and * Starting [03:37] just "* Starting"? [03:38] yes [03:38] * Starting [ ok ] [03:38] perhaps no [ ok ] [03:39] Did you do anything before it broke? [03:40] I think he said he installed xubuntu desktop [03:40] oh [03:40] yes. i had installed xubuntu-desktop [03:40] then tried to remove that and install lubuntu-desktop [03:40] What did you have before? [03:41] it was running with xubuntu for a while [03:41] Why would you try to install xubuntu-desktop if that's what it had? [03:41] i am almost to a point of backing up the home dir and reinstalling ... [03:41] ok [03:42] I think that's what you should do [03:43] starting the install of xubuntu desktop now [03:44] ready for reboot ... anything else before reboot? [03:44] no [03:44] still get 2 lines on reboot [03:45] but i do see the xubuntu login screen now [03:45] logging in now. [03:46] so what should i do now? back up the files.... (recommendations for backup?) [03:46] yes back stuff up [03:47] Copy /home onto a usb stick [03:47] or external hard drive [03:47] k [03:50] k, thanks for getting me to logon! [03:50] yw :D [03:51] also, if you ever need to reinstall everything you can find a list of what packages were installed in /var/log/apt/history.log to save you some time while reinstalling what programs you had [03:52] or you can use dpkg --get-selections < packagelist.txt [03:52] but that lists dependencies [03:53] ah true [03:57] I have to go, bye everyone === AndrewLe1 is now known as AndrewLee [14:22] How can I report an audio bug? I have remarkable noise shown in input levels in Audacity, even if Capture channel is muted. There is more noise in the left channel. [19:50] does someone know if in Precise the kernels of the series 3.8.x are with or without PAE? [19:52] Not off hand, but wouldn't be hard to tell if you just pull the /boot/config-3.8*-generic file. [20:21] hi Unit193 yes, right. I have not thought of going to fetch the list of files, so bad for me :) [20:23] Earlier I reported here about Firefox not starting in Lubuntu session but still won't even with the lxsession update today. Funny it starts with LXDE session as well as in openbox/razor session. [20:24] utusan: I didn't read scrollback, did someone tell you to call it from the terminal? [20:24] terminal or not it doesn't [20:25] Yes, but in this case it may give some interesting output. [20:25] segfault [20:26] Huh. This is 13.10? And any configuration changed? dmesg/syslog say anything useful? [20:26] Firefox works in Lubuntu here, 13.10. [20:27] this is 14.04 [20:27] Aha, alrighty. [20:30] * Unit193 grumbles, decides to download and look. [20:31] What I don't understand is it works in LXDE( right now) and openbox/razor session. This Firefox is the same app shared by precise/raring/saucy install. [20:33] Lubuntu session executes lxsession but LXDE calls startlxde if this helps. [20:34] Know what that script has in it? [20:38] lxsession is a binary file but startlxde is too long. not sure if you have it but you can look it up on /usr/share/xsessions [20:39] I checked, I didn't. I could look it up on LP, but I'm waiting for trusty to download, and it's not going quickly at ~300KB/s :/ [20:39] finally got a brain and installing lubuntu instead of ubuntu :o gratz brain.. [20:39] Congrats and glad you like it, NuSuey. [20:41] Unit193: hope you can have it fixed. Just let you know so I can use lubuntu session again. Meantime I'm using razor-qt/openbox/LXDE [20:42] utusan: Well, trusty is very early development right now, and I'm not really a Lubuntu dev. Might be worth filing against lxsession or lubuntu-meta or somesuch. [21:02] Unit193: just wondering where can I find what, etc .. for example searching for - how to change sound output :) [21:02] alsamixer is the sound tool, but you can install pulse too if you need it. [21:05] Unit193: yeah, but where can setup to output the sound to the HDMI output for example :) seraching for that [21:09] I would rather not use pulse audio [21:09] gives me issues [21:11] NuSuey: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#HDMI_output_does_not_work [21:12] yeah the asound command worked.. just wondering how to change the whole system sound output to hdmi ..and back :) [21:13] Yes, it said that too, ~/.asoundrc
