[00:02] <adam___> Hi when i run sudo apt-get update  I get a huge list of failed to fetch
[00:03] <adam___> anybody
[00:07] <adam___> W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/InRelease
[00:08] <minimec> adam___: First guess... You internet connection was lost. If you were able to do the Ubuntu installation with that sources, there is no reason that they are all broken. 2nd guess. The server of you sources is not reachable.
[00:13] <adam___> my computer gets stuck on the ubuntu loading screen while trying to boot
[00:17] <minimec> adam___: Have you tried to boot in recovery mode?
[00:18] <adam___> minimec:  I had my wifi switch off while running the updates
[00:18] <adam___> i am running sudo apt-get updates && sudo apt-get upgrades
[00:18] <adam___> hopfully that will fix it
[00:23] <adam___> ok both of those ran without any issue but now it boots to a black screen with a _ in the top corner
[00:23] <adam___> and i cannot get to crtl alt f1
[00:24] <adam___> minimec:  ^^
[00:26] <minimec> adam___: Have you tried to boot in recovery mode?
[00:26] <adam___> how do i do that minimec
[00:26] <minimec> adam___: @ the boot screen 'other boot options'.
[00:27] <adam___> ok i am booting into recovery
[00:27] <adam___> now what minimec
[00:29] <minimec> adam___: check tho log files like /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:29] <adam___> i am at the recovery menu
[00:29] <adam___> what do i select minimec
[00:29] <minimec> adam___: drop to root shell
[00:29] <adam___> ok
[00:30] <adam___> now what6 do i run
[00:30] <adam___> minimec: ^
[00:32] <minimec> adam___: cat /var/log/kern.log or nano /var/log/kern.log
[00:32] <minimec> adam___: same with Xorg.0.log. check for errors at the end of these files
[00:33] <adam___> minimec:  no errors in either
[00:34] <minimec> adam___: You don't seem familliar with that kind of stuff. Why would you use a beta release and not an official ubuntu release? This is the channel of the ubuntu pre-release?
[00:34] <adam___> minimec:  what do i do
[00:36] <adam___> minimec:  please help me fix this i have to go in 5 minutes
[00:36] <minimec> adam___: Do you have 'pastebinit' installed? if yes -> cat /var/log/kern.log | pastebinit
[00:36] <minimec> adam___: I cannot promise you anything...
[00:38] <adam___> Failed to contact server
[00:38] <minimec> adam___: Ok. You don't have an internet connection. So I cannot  have a look @ the log file...
[00:38] <adam___> now what minimec
[00:40] <adam___> now i have to go
[00:44] <adam_____> Minimec i dont have internet on my computer can you please still help me
[00:47] <minimec> adam_____: Probably not. My hint is read the log files kern.log Xorg.0.log and system.log. If you find some stuff that seems 'not normal' @ the end of these files, search the net for some answers...
[00:48] <adam_____>  Minimec hold on i migt get internet
[00:51] <adam_____> Minimec i am in crtl alt f1 what do i run
[00:51] <minimec> adam_____: I told you before
[00:51] <adam_____> I switched computers i cant see
[00:52] <minimec> adam_____: cat /var/log/kern.log | pastebinit
[01:00] <minimec> adam_____: They look both ok.
[01:03] <adam_____> Minimec ????
[01:07] <adam_____> Anyone
[01:08] <minimec> adam_____: I don't see any problem with the kernel log and the xserver log. I see no reason for the system not to boot.
[01:08] <adam_____> Should i just reinstall
[01:46] <fibz_> ran into a problem installing xubuntu 14 on a laptop with external LCD. xubuntu seems to boot fine but i don't get video output on the external LCD (no lvds)
[01:47] <fibz_> any ideas as to how to get video output? (booting from USB created by unetbootin)
[01:54] <rww> So my firefox looks like http://i.imgur.com/4lcFryg.png
[01:54] <rww> suggestions plz
[01:57] <fibz_> use the x.org driver?
[01:57] <rww> fibz_: hrm?
[01:58] <fibz_> i've had that problem with the proprietary nvidia 304 driver
[03:16] <fibz_> the answer was to enable nolapic boot option
[03:48] <basketball> dropbox wont let me link computer to account the idicator is stuck on connecting
[05:04] <ubuntu8908> Anyone here able to successfully install dropbox onto 14.04? Every time I try it gets stuck on 'connecting' . None of the fixes I have found online have helped
[09:56] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:58] <onlty> Good evening.
[09:58] <lordievader> Hey onlty, how are you doing?
[09:58] <onlty> I'm fine
[09:58] <onlty> just fine nothing else
[10:38] <veke> Hello all can someone tell me what's the latest kernel in 14.04 ?
[10:39] <veke> molgrum, are you running 14.04?
[10:40] <molgrum> veke: hi, i am not
[10:40] <veke> damn it :)
[10:40] <molgrum> was just going to ask what version of linux is scheduled for 14.04
[10:40] <veke> lol
[10:41] <veke> I need the version of the kernel
[10:41] <veke> currently running on 14.04
[10:41] <veke> i think the updated
[10:41] <veke> broke something and i'm somehow running an old kernel
[10:41] <veke> lol
[10:43] <molgrum> veke: what do you mean "need the version", uname -a?
[10:48] <veke> Linux andrea 3.13.0-17-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 10 21:44:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[10:48] <veke> but I think this is an older version
[10:48] <veke> When i upgraded there was some problems writing grub stuff
[10:51] <veke> dkessel are your unning 14.04 ?
[10:52] <dkessel> veke yes... yesterday i also had 3.13.0-17
[10:53] <molgrum> oh, so 3.13 is scheduled for next ubuntu release?
[10:54] <ikonia> errr no
[10:54] <dkessel> also, http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/linux-image-generic shows that version
[10:56] <veke> hmm i get random freeze of the system
[10:56] <veke> nothing on the log
[10:57] <veke> freeze means => need to manually reboot :P
[11:27] <daas> when is the new login screen coming for 14.04?
[11:28] <Nothing_Much> daas: I'm unsure
[11:28] <Nothing_Much> It hasn't worked for me y et
[11:28] <daas> I just tried it. It works!
[11:28] <daas> It wasn't working before I restarted.
[11:34] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[11:41] <rwsq1> how much memory do you guys have RT running in? This morning ours said it was out of memory trying to send email. I've got it running on an amazon micro instance (640MB) although I've added 1GB of swap space
[12:19] <SuperLag> Should PPA comments revert back to normal from "disabled on upgrade to trusty", after the upgrade is complete?
[12:20] <ikonia> I don't believe so
[12:20] <k1l> no
[12:20] <ikonia> as there may not be PPA's for the new release
[12:20] <k1l> they stay disabled until you activate them again
[12:20] <ikonia> also to be honest, I don't think it should allow you to upgrade with any ppa software installed due to the risk of conflict/bricking your machine
[12:21] <k1l> and keep in mind, that most PPAs dont support the +1 release in early stages
[12:22] <ikonia> I'm surprised it go through an upgrade to be honest
[12:22] <k1l> well, it disables the PPAs (but doesnt remove the packages), then upgrades
[12:22] <ikonia> thats why I'm surprised it made it through
[12:22] <ikonia> as the dependencies are "normally" screwed
[12:23] <ikonia> I guess it depends on the specific PPA, there are a handful of good ones
[12:23] <k1l> if the PPA is set up right, the newer ubuntu will update the ppa-package anyway
[12:24] <ikonia> so few are though, sadly, hence my surprise
[12:31] <SuperLag> ikonia: I had no issues here. It disabled some stuff, like my Chrome entries, and VLC.
[12:31] <ikonia> disabling it doesn't remove the packages though, so even then I'm surprised it gets through it,
[12:32] <SuperLag> ikonia: I was actually pleasantly surprised at how smooth the upgrade went.
[12:32] <SuperLag> I had to patch one file to get VMware Workstation modules to work.
[12:32] <SuperLag> Reinstall a couple perl modules and python packages.
[12:33] <ikonia> so not really smooth then
[12:33] <ikonia> loads of external things failing
[12:33] <SuperLag> no loads
[12:33] <SuperLag> I use a CLI client for App.net.
[12:34] <SuperLag> It requires a couple add-on modules for certain extra functionality. They're not part of the normal Perl distribution.
[12:34] <ikonia> right, thats why I said "external"
[12:34] <SuperLag> and I have a script that uses psutil to kill all the Chrome processes
[12:35] <SuperLag> had to reinstall psutil
[12:35] <ikonia> so doesn't sound great
[12:35] <ikonia> lots of "re-install" things
[12:35] <SuperLag> 3 things?
[12:35] <SuperLag> that's what you call "lots"?
[12:36] <ikonia> perl and python packages and a kernel module and psutil is not 3 things
[12:36] <ikonia> thats 4 types of things, but I'm guessing it was more than 1 module per "thing"
[12:36] <SuperLag> I knew the kernel module would not work, going in.
[12:36] <ikonia> yes, that's not really a surprise
[12:36] <SuperLag> all the patch does is change the kernel reference to 3.13
[12:38] <SuperLag> ikonia: So, are you saying... for a successful upgrade, you expect 100% of every last piece to work flawlessly?
[12:38] <SuperLag> is that your expectation?
[12:38] <ikonia> yeah, if it's going to be targeted at everyone
[12:38] <SuperLag> that makes me laugh
[12:38] <ikonia> it makes me laugh also
[12:39] <SuperLag> I've *NEVER* had a major version upgrade on Ubuntu go well.
[12:39] <SuperLag> Not until this one.
[12:39] <ikonia> so that's not a good thing either
[12:39] <ikonia> a big part of this is how external vendors do not deal with ubuntu's release schedule
[12:40] <SuperLag> It was bad enough, early on, that I eventually opted to keep things like /home and /opt on separate partitions, and do a clean install.
[12:40] <SuperLag> I still keep /home and /opt and /usr/local separate... but this time around... it worked really well
[12:41] <SuperLag> I just did do-release-upgrade -d, and let it go.
[12:44] <miraiE> please help me about this http://prntscr.com/304sft I installed in kubuntu
[12:48] <dougl> morning BluesKaj
[12:49] <BluesKaj> morning dougl
[12:50] <dougl> Beta 2... just like christmas in april!!!
[12:50] <BluesKaj> we'll see
[12:50] <dougl> what do you use for e-mail client?
[12:51] <monkeyjuice> thunderbird here
[12:52] <dougl> obviously happy?
[12:52] <monkeyjuice> i am
[12:53] <dougl> that does news groups and multiple mail servers?
[12:53] <monkeyjuice> wow quassel just crashed
[12:54] <dougl> I have tried it but not for years... and k mail really let me down on 12.10 (probably user error) but I broke it pretty easy
[12:56] <BluesKaj> dougl, kmail let a lot of ppl down, it's inherently buggy with some hw it seems
[12:56] <monkeyjuice> hmmm now 14.04 is crashing around me right now
[12:58] <dougl> BluesKaj, always thot it was me... what do you use for mail?
[12:58] <BluesKaj> guess I should try it on this intel laptop, but I'm adverse to akonadi and nepomuk for home users
[12:58] <BluesKaj> thunderbird
[12:58] <monkeyjuice> trying a reboot brb
[13:00] <dougl> BluesKaj, I better roll up my sleeves and put up with the learning curve and use thunderbird
[13:00] <BluesKaj> t-bird is quite user friendly
[13:01] <SuperLag> it's also the most featureful, at this point
[13:02] <SuperLag> I wish MS would make Exchange support more Linux-friendly.
[13:02] <SuperLag> they don't stand to lose *anything* by doing so
[13:02] <SuperLag> that's a different discussion entirely, though... sorry.
[13:47] <dougl> Anyone have a sec... installed 14.04, (LAMP) server and then wordpress and when ever I tune to the ip is says the data file is missing and I look for it and it is there...
[13:50] <ikonia> what data file
[13:50] <ikonia> wordpress is not a "data file" it's a collection of php scripts talking to a mysql database
[13:50] <k1l> look at the data permissions
[13:51] <k1l> and is lamp the ubuntu packages or is it a 3rd party install thing
[14:11] <dougl> ikonia, sorry missed your reply - still got a few...
[14:12] <ikonia> still got a few what ?
[14:12]  * dougl has to put his 15 year old dog down today - trying to stay busy
[14:13] <dougl> ikonia for that data file... sec I will fire that machine up
[14:13] <ikonia> there is no one data file
[14:13] <ikonia> wordpress is made up of multiple files and a database
[14:13] <ikonia> and nothing should access a database data file directly
[14:15] <dougl> right... so I followed the howto that I lost for 12.10 and now I need a LTS server (want - lol) to host what I already have...
[14:16] <ikonia> that wasn't my question
[14:16] <ikonia> what data file are you referencing
[14:16] <dougl> lol - k sec thanks :)
[14:16] <ikonia> ???
[14:16] <dougl> no I mean I am looking
[14:17] <k1l> if you want a LTS server dont run 14.04 right now
[14:17] <k1l> take 12.04, that is lts
[14:18] <dougl> 12.04 would not install on thae hardware for some reason had to settle foe 12.10... I thought the beta would turn into lts no?
[14:21] <k1l> the 12.04.4 that you get to download now (the 4th "service pack") will have a newer kernel. and yes a 14.04 beta will become a 14.04 lts, but until that there is a lot that can make trouble
[14:24] <dougl> k1l, not migrating to 14.04 just preparing - dual boots with 14.04 on server and 13.10 on notebook... I am just so excited I cannot hold myself back!
[14:25] <miraiE> please help me about this http://prntscr.com/304sft I installed in kubuntu
[14:25] <k1l> there is a reason why this is labled not-final. and the lts-to-lts update process will start at 14.04.1. just odnt tell us we didnt warn you
[14:26] <archer43543> quick question: has anyone managed to install dropbox on 14.04? cant seem to make it work
[14:27] <k1l> archer43543: dropbox updated itself some days ago and is working fine
[14:28] <archer43543> hmm is that so? ive installed from every possible location (deb, source, software center) and I can't get it to work
[14:33] <ikonia> someone else was complaining in #ubuntu that the dropbox package was not prompting for username/password
[14:33] <archer45859> yes this is my problem
[14:39] <philinux> Anyone noticed Firefox is not remembering it's screen size after a resize
[14:42] <dougiel> ikonia, you still here... The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
[14:43] <k1l> dougiel: look at the data permissions of that files
[14:44] <Pici> And if apache is actually setup to serve them
[14:45] <dougl> k1l www-data:www-data
[14:48] <ikonia> is it in the correct document root
[14:48] <ikonia> please tell me you 've not copied your 12.10 config file into 14.04 as apache 2.2 and 2.4 have different vhost configs
[14:50] <dougl> ikonia, not yet - lol but I am sure I ahve done something else just as dumb
[14:56] <dougl> yeah I don't know what the issue could be... chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www...
[14:57] <ikonia> stop blindly doing things
[14:57] <ikonia> think it through
[14:58]  * dougl sees good advice
[14:58] <Pici> Look at your apache2 configs and log files, is it looking in the right place for files?
[15:06] <dougl> never looked for logs before... I will be googling - I will do some more research and look for some intelligent questions
[15:06] <ikonia> you don't need to google
[15:06] <dougl> ?
[15:06] <ikonia> look at the document root setting for your virtual host, look at the access_log and error_log of your webserver and look at what happens when you try to hit the page
[15:07] <ikonia> put a test index.html in the document root to prove it's up and serving then deal with wordpress
[15:07] <ikonia> and normally install.php is not in wp-admin directory, it's normally in the root
[15:13] <dougl> ikonia, I tested appache install and got the debian info page and replaced it with my resume
[15:13] <ikonia> ok, so work forward from there
[16:56] <waaseh> Hi, is ubuntu 14.4 beta1 iso is installable like other binary iso?
[16:57] <k1l> waaseh: there are milestone and daily .isos available
[16:57] <waaseh> the link please?
[16:59] <k1l> !topic
[16:59] <waaseh> http://www.cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04/beta-1/source/    is only the soruce  iso
[17:01] <k1l> here are the daily images: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[17:04] <waaseh> thanks
[18:03] <mbruzek> Hello, I have tried searching for solution to my problem but unable to find it.  Please give me a link if the problem has already been discussed or reported.
[18:03] <mbruzek> I am using trusty and for the past 2 days apt-get upgrade hangs right after the grub setup for memtest86+
[18:04] <k1l> mbruzek: apt-get update and memtest?
[18:05] <mbruzek> k1l, correct, but I am not sure if memtest86+ is the cause, or something AFTER that is causing a problem.
[18:05] <mbruzek> my apt-get upgrade is hung and never completes.
[18:05] <k1l> run a apt-get update first
[18:05] <mbruzek> Yes I do that before upgrade
[18:05] <mbruzek> I have the latest memtest
[18:06] <mbruzek> I mostly run:  sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[18:06] <k1l> mbruzek: you are mixing things
[18:06] <mbruzek> k1l, sorry.  I do update each time before running upgrade
[18:07] <k1l> please put all that into a pasteservice
[18:07] <k1l> !paste | mbruzek
[18:13] <mbruzek> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7080638/
[18:14] <mbruzek> k1l, sorry it took so long I use a terminal byobu that does not scroll back naturally
[18:14] <mbruzek> In this particular case I did a "dist-upgrade" but I can confirm that "upgrade" works or hangs the same
[18:15] <k1l> how long did you wait there?
[18:16] <mbruzek> It has been running at least 2 hours
[18:17] <mbruzek> I have had similar problems today and yesterday, so I have tried to kill the process, and then apt-get complains that it has been disrupted and I run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:18] <k1l> make sure your partitions are not full
[18:18] <mbruzek> good idea!   /dev/sda1       103G   23G   75G  24% /
[18:18] <mbruzek> That seems OK.
[18:19] <k1l> run a apt-get install -f
[18:19] <mbruzek> Should I kill the current apt-get process?
[18:19] <k1l> yes
[18:21] <mbruzek> $ sudo apt-get install -f
[18:21] <mbruzek> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[18:21] <mbruzek> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[18:21] <mbruzek> Remove the lock?
[18:21] <k1l> make sure no other process is running with the packages system
[18:25] <mbruzek> k1l, I don't believe there are
[18:25] <mbruzek> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7080694/
[18:26] <mbruzek> after removing lock
[18:26] <mbruzek> $ sudo apt-get install -f
[18:26] <mbruzek> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:27] <mbruzek> Getting stuck at the same place
[18:27] <mbruzek> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7080708/
[18:29] <k1l> maybe that is the problem? Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.
[18:30] <k1l> sry i dont know where the problem is in that but i have to be afk now for some time, so see if some others in here can answer
[18:40] <TenLeftFingers> I'm running 14.04 in virtualbox and since the last reboot I can't connect to the network. The whole thing is strange because I came in and the laptop was both _hot_ and _off_. So I don't know is it an update that killed it or something else.
[20:30] <ccmolik_> hey so i just got done with an install of 14.04-gnome, and Xorg appears to be segfaulting in my parallels VM
[20:31] <ccmolik_> i also noticed on the livecd that whenever it tries to kick me back to GDM that fails
[20:31] <ccmolik_> in that i get a nice blank screen
[20:31] <ccmolik_> so I tried Xorg -configure to spit out a working xorg.conf, and no luck (once installed); I get a segfault
[20:32] <ccmolik_> not sure if it's an xorg drivers issue, or what
[20:32] <ccmolik_> possibly a gdm bug
[20:34] <spaes> does anyone know whether gnome classic can easily be installed from the default 14.04 desktop distribution, or whether you will need to download a separate distro (UbuntuGnome) ? in 12.04 there were a few packages you could install to easily switch to gnome classic
[20:36] <Beldar> spaes, I believe for the classic alone it bis the gnome-panel
[20:36] <Beldar> is*
[20:36] <Beldar> spaes, No separate distros, all these desktops are in the ubuntu repos.
[20:38] <spaes> Beldar: "flavor" then? my point is that i would like to avoid xubuntu/kubuntu/gubuntu.
[20:38] <Beldar> spaes, gubuntu?
[20:38] <spaes> i made that up
[20:39] <Beldar> spaes, Gnome 3 underlies most of the desktops, however you could do a net install after release and have wider choice by installing just the desktop you want.
[20:41] <spaes> oh i see what you are getting at
[20:42] <spaes> Beldar: if i understand you correctly then, if Ubuntu Gnome can provide gnome classic based on the standard ubuntu repositories, then I should be able to install gnome-panel/etc from any desktop configuration, even the standard one that normally only has unity right?
[20:43] <Beldar> spaes, Yeah, you have git iut.
[20:43] <Beldar> it*
[20:44] <spaes> ok that's good news
[20:44] <Beldar> The gnome shell release, the gnome 3 desktop shell, should have the classic on board I believe.
[20:45] <Beldar> you can get a release with just the gnome 3 desktop, I think you are referring to that already.
[20:46] <ccmolik_> google screwed me and i thought ubuntu-gnome was the default 13.04 beta iso heh
[20:46] <ccmolik_> literacy is hard
[20:46] <Beldar> I use the shell  myself, a bit tweaked however.
[20:47] <spaes> i wouldn't mind converting to unity or gnome3, i've given both a shot a few times, but i just can't seem to get the same level of productivity out of them
[20:48] <ccmolik_> gnome3 is nice but i hate how minimizing hides the app to the activities menu
[20:48] <spaes> Beldar: could you give an example or two of how you tweak it?
[20:48] <ccmolik_> at least 14's stock gnome3 shows the logout menu by default
[20:48]  * ccmolik_ glares at fedora 19's direction
[20:49] <Beldar> spaes, There are a number of extensions there is a web site. I use the cairo dock and synapse, not the left side bar brought up from the left top corner. Small tweaks really.
[20:53] <spaes> ok just looked up cairo and synapse
[20:54] <spaes> that seems like a nice combo and it looks really clean
[20:55] <spaes> i just can't wrap my head around multi-tasking scenarios where i have 3 terminals open and 2 spreadsheets and a text editor
[20:55] <Beldar> spaes, cairo adds another desktop is all, only use it in the shell, has lots of tweak options for the panel.
[20:55] <Beldar> I only*
[21:16] <dougl> why does my apache in ubuntu 14.04 only work when my wordpress data is in /var/www/html?
[21:18] <ccmolik_> dougl: DocumentRoot
[21:18] <ccmolik_> it's an httpd.conf setting
[21:18] <ccmolik_> or apache2.conf rather
[21:18]  * ccmolik_ takes off his red hat
[21:19] <ccmolik_> so yeah, gdm doesn't want to start on my freshly-installed box. anything I can take a look at to try to convince it otherwise?
[21:20] <ccmolik_> it's a VM on parallels desktop
[21:21] <ccmolik_> if I try Xorg -configure, I get a backgrace, /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 s
[21:21] <ccmolik_> listed as the only library
[21:22] <ccmolik_> logging in and 'startx' appears to fire off gnome just fine
[21:32] <dougl> ccmolik_, no I did not see it in there?
[21:33] <ccmolik_> odd
[21:34] <dougl> agreed
[21:36] <ccmolik_> time to dig and make realmd play nice
[21:36] <ccmolik_> with our AD setup
[21:40] <ccmolik_> gaah
[21:40] <ccmolik_> i hate avahi
[21:43] <ccmolik_> but i hate centrify auth more :)
[22:40] <utack> is anyone using a "realtek 8192CU" by any chance?
[22:40] <utack> mine is totally unstable
[22:43] <Beldar> utack, Realtek at times is not a good choice, http://askubuntu.com/search?q=realtek+8192CU
[22:45] <utack> Beldar, i already had this device. got to switch it for another one thoug
[23:39] <basketball> ubuntu 14.04 login screen wont let me type password
[23:39] <ccmolik_> at least you get one ;)
[23:39] <Daekdroom> basketball, does it tell you it's wrong?
[23:40] <basketball> Daekdroom:  no
[23:40] <Daekdroom> Hm.
[23:40] <Daekdroom> So you simply can't input a password?
[23:40] <Daekdroom> You try to and nothing happens?
[23:41] <basketball> yea i can login via crtl alt f1 or guest account
[23:45] <basketball> Daekdroom:  have any idea
[23:45] <Daekdroom> Nope.
[23:45] <Daekdroom> If it was only the login screen refusing to accept your password, it'd be an issue with keyboard indicator messing up the keyboard layout settings.
[23:49] <basketball> !dpg_configure
[23:49] <basketball> !set p gdm
[23:49] <basketball> !configure gdm
[23:49] <basketball> Daekdroom:  how do i set gdm as default
[23:50] <Daekdroom> basketball, install it through the command line. You should then be prompted to choose between it and lightdm
[23:50] <Daekdroom> If you already do have it installed, use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm"
[23:51] <basketball> ok thanks i knew if wawas so mething like that
[23:53] <basketball> Daekdroom:  going down for reboot
[23:53] <ccmolik_> yeah idk what's up with gdm just not working on my vm whilst gnome desktop is fine
[23:58] <basketballl> Daekdroom,  that confirms that the issue is with lightdm
