| skd5aner | is there a way to shut off the ubuntu updates pop-up? It comes up over the mythtv window, and I'd prefer to just manage it myself via apt and the cli | 00:54 |

| qwebirc13862 | Hi! Can someone help me with a mythbuntu question? I am a total Linux noob so sorry for perhaps a dumb question | 18:17 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc13862, ask | 18:23 |
| qwebirc13862 | I installed mythbuntu 12.04.3 on a USB stick with 3 gigabyte persitence using unetbooting. After booting it it works fine and I get to this desktop on-disk.com/images/screenshots/mythbuntu_10.04_screenshot.jpg I only installed firefox which works fine. Sometimes it did not shut down correctly-it ends up on a black screen. After rebooting everything was good again. But last time I rebooted it came to a login window which | 18:24 |
| qwebirc13862 | is there any way to get it back to my desktop again? | 18:25 |
| tgm4883 | Hmm, there shouldn't be a login required. Have you tried no password and the user 'ubuntu' | 18:25 |
| qwebirc13862 | yes I tried that and many other logins and passwords like sudo and other things I read on different forums. There were always different problems which sounded a bit like mine but I couln´t find someone with the same problem | 18:28 |
| tgm4883 | I'm not sure since it's still basically a live disk. You might see if you can login in single user mode and reset the password | 18:29 |
| qwebirc13862 | The strange thing is it started many times to the desktop. I did not change something on settings or installed something. It just did not shut down properly and now the login window comes instead of my desktop :( | 18:29 |
| qwebirc13862 | I will try that. Sorry for the question but how do i start single user mode? | 18:30 |
| qwebirc13862 | this is what appears now instead of the desktop http://i.stack.imgur.com/5Ovnz.png | 18:31 |
| qwebirc13862 | I tried many user/login combos but none did work | 18:32 |
| tgm4883 | that doesn't look like a mythbuntu | 18:33 |
| qwebirc13862 | where in the pic is izx/guest account option at my window it shows xfce or mythbuntu to choose | 18:34 |
| tgm4883 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 18:35 |
| qwebirc13862 | hmm thtas the thing which confuses me. I thought this would be perhaps the frontend or backend and not the desktop I used to know. I just need the desktop again but dont know who. Last step would be a new install. But I need to know what I did wrong so it wont happen again | 18:36 |
| qwebirc13862 | Thank you for the link! Perhaps this will get my lovely desktop back :) But how can that happen. All the times I used it and the desktop started I did not need a password. Strange | 18:39 |
| qwebirc13862 | Thank you tgm4883 for your time and help! I will try the things. If nothing works I come back here. Thank you!! | 18:42 |
| Kwisher_wrk | anyone know how i can downgrade mythtv from .27 to .26 while running 13.10? f/e only so no db worries | 18:44 |
