| codecowboy | hi all. since updating (via software update) I can no longer log into Unity / the desktop. I see a greatly reduced resolution for the login screen, enter my password and then just see the desktop background with a mouse pointer | 11:00 |
| codecowboy | I've tried everything here - http://askubuntu.com/questions/449845/problems-after-upgrading-to-14-04-only-background-and-pointer-after-login - and still not working | 11:01 |
| penguin42 | codecowboy: You say updating, was this an update from 13.10 to 14.04 or just one of the regular updates? | 11:01 |
| codecowboy | regular updates | 11:01 |
| penguin42 | oops, that's bad | 11:01 |
| codecowboy | regular updates. was a fresh 14.04 install | 11:02 |
| penguin42 | codecowboy: Can you log into the guest account? | 11:02 |
| popey | what video card? | 11:02 |
| popey | nvidia? | 11:02 |
| codecowboy | yep nvidia 8800 | 11:03 |
| codecowboy | guess account is the same | 11:03 |
| codecowboy | guest | 11:03 |
| popey | did you install the nvidia driver from nvidia.com or the one from the repo | 11:04 |
| popey | ? | 11:04 |
| codecowboy | popey from nvidia.com and it was working before the update | 11:04 |
| popey | thats your problem | 11:04 |
| popey | dont do that | 11:04 |
| popey | probably will work if you reboot, hold shift to get grub menu and boot to previous kernel | 11:04 |
| popey | then you can re-install the driver or uninstall it and reinstall the repo driver | 11:05 |
| codecowboy | booted into previous kernel and now have a high resolution version of the same problem. desktop but no icons / untiy | 11:08 |
| popey | ok, need to reinstall the driver then | 11:08 |
| popey | I'd boot to your most recent kernel, go to recovery mode and install driver there | 11:09 |
| popey | its a shame this happens | 11:09 |
| * popey goes to make lunch | 11:09 | |
| codecowboy | still got the same problem | 11:16 |
| codecowboy | also tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears | 11:31 |
| ali1234 | codecowboy: ensure you have the kernel headers installed. delete the nvidia module from /lib/modules/<kernel>/updates/ | 12:25 |
| ali1234 | then run dkms install -m nvidia-331-updates -v 331.38 --all | 12:25 |
| ali1234 | you will probably have to do this from the recovery session | 12:25 |
| ali1234 | actually i think the problem is you never installed nvidia driver | 12:27 |
| ali1234 | so install that too | 12:27 |
| codecowboy | ali1234 i defiinitey did install the driver and it was working | 12:28 |
| ali1234 | you installed it from nvidia.com that doesn't work properl | 12:28 |
| codecowboy | if i try running in failsafe graphics mode, nothing works | 12:30 |
| codecowboy | ali1234 is that what you mean by 'revery session'? | 12:30 |
| ali1234 | no | 12:30 |
| codecowboy | recovery session even.... | 12:31 |
| codecowboy | ali1234 what do you mean then!? | 12:31 |
| codecowboy | popey got any other suggestions? | 12:39 |
| popey | my only suggestion would be to remove everything that came from nvidia.com and then reboot, using nouveau and that will get you a desktop | 12:42 |
| popey | then install the right nvidia driver from the repo | 12:42 |
| codecowboy | popey i think i have removed things | 12:43 |
| popey | reboot and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and/or /var/log/lightdm logs | 12:43 |
| codecowboy | popey what do you mean 'reboot using nouveau' ? | 12:43 |
| popey | if you reboot without having an nvidia driver installed it should fall back to the free software nouveau driver | 12:44 |
| codecowboy | how can I be 100% sure I have removed the nvidia.com driver? | 12:46 |
| popey | you'll know when it doesnt start | 12:48 |
| codecowboy | rebooting with nouveau doesn't resolve this so guess I will have to reinstall, thanks anyway | 12:55 |
| popey | you dont need to reinstall | 12:57 |
| popey | you just need to clean up the crap the nvidia driver installs | 12:57 |
| codecowboy | I have done apt-get remove --purge nvidia* etc | 12:58 |
| popey | no | 12:58 |
| popey | remove the crap the nvidia driver from nviaid.com installs | 12:58 |
| codecowboy | so maybe i don't know how to do that? | 12:58 |
| popey | http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/how-can-i-uninstall-a-nvidia-driver-completely | 12:59 |
| codecowboy | yep just done all that | 12:59 |
| popey | so something is probably still left | 12:59 |
| popey | what does xorg.0.log say when you reboot? | 12:59 |
| popey | can you pastebin it? | 12:59 |
| codecowboy | not easily, as no guy on the ubuntu box | 13:00 |
| codecowboy | no gui | 13:00 |
| popey | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 13:00 |
| popey | pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 13:00 |
| codecowboy | perhaps i can ssh in | 13:00 |
| popey | you can do the above from the console | 13:01 |
| codecowboy | found this in the kernel log http://pastebin.com/5L5Q4YGv | 13:07 |
| popey | probably left behind by the nvidia driver | 13:08 |
| popey | it has an uninstall option I believe | 13:08 |
| codecowboy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7751231/ | 13:09 |
| popey | do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 13:09 |
| codecowboy | i did but deleted it | 13:12 |
| codecowboy | uninstaller log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7751245/ | 13:13 |
| codecowboy | problem persists ... :( | 13:15 |
| ali1234 | i had some kernel fun yesterday. did you know that if you install linux-image and not linux-image-extras, the machine will boot up to the login screen and then hard lock? | 13:26 |
| ali1234 | and there is no dependency to make sure they both get installed | 13:26 |
| Myrtti | hello hello hello | 14:58 |
| popey | yo | 15:00 |
| nigelb | hi | 15:01 |
| Myrtti | oof | 15:07 |
| Myrtti | want it, but omg the price https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/604134477/swich-wireless-charger-for-iphone-and-android | 15:07 |
| diddledan | Myrtti: that's sexy | 15:14 |
| popey | how much! | 15:31 |
| penguin42 | Myrtti: Don't show popey kickstarter items.... | 15:32 |
| diddledan | lol | 15:46 |
| diddledan | halle berry in a tv show? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=pe_1083431_50994491_button | 15:51 |
| diddledan | sorry, that link's busted | 15:55 |

| diddledan | speaking of kickstarter, there's this on indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/outpost-an-epic-sci-fi-adventure | 16:50 |
| ali1234 | has anyone else seen the problem where the steam "view" menu sticks on the screen when you go to big picture mode? | 18:10 |
| ali1234 | https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3337 | 18:26 |
| Myrtti | https://plus.google.com/u/0/100987428678663635460/posts/iXwB3f1xuBq | 18:35 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: not here -all ok | 18:36 |
| ali1234 | SuperEngineer: using nvidia? | 18:36 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: yup | 18:36 |
| ali1234 | and 14.04? | 18:37 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: yup | 18:37 |
| ali1234 | are you suuuuuure? | 18:37 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: definitely | 18:37 |
| ali1234 | hmm. that's really odd | 18:37 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: just for you - I'll try again... | 18:38 |
| ali1234 | multimonitor? | 18:39 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: still can't get it to stick on screen -& yup -multi monitor | 18:40 |
| ali1234 | unity? | 18:40 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: but now I'm back in xchat - the shadow is still there!! | 18:41 |
| ali1234 | hah! | 18:41 |
| ali1234 | i knew it | 18:41 |
| ali1234 | so it behaves a little bit different for you presumably because of using a different window manager. but the underlying bug still happens | 18:41 |
| SuperEngineer | so bug confirmed - in an indirect sort of way - but definitely confirmed | 18:41 |
| ali1234 | get rid of it by opening the view menu again or quitting steam | 18:42 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: - now quitting steam... | 18:42 |
| SuperEngineer | ...and you're right - so *BUG* | 18:43 |
| ali1234 | well at least it's not a window manager bug, then i'd have to fix it | 18:48 |
| penguin42 | ali1234: Haha which one do you wrangle? | 18:50 |
| ali1234 | xfwm4 | 18:50 |
| SuperEngineer | [I'd tell you which video card if I could remeber the command - or the package in software centre that told you everything about you're system] | 18:51 |
| ali1234 | thing is, today i found another piece of software which does something very similar | 18:51 |
| ali1234 | but it looks like just two programs have the same bug to me | 18:51 |
| SuperEngineer | ali1234: in case you need the info - my system: 14.04 - Unity - multi-monitor - GeForce GTX 650 - & bug confirmed ;) | 19:11 |
| ali1234 | i don't but thanks :) | 19:12 |
