GantaHey guys, I'm having a login issue with Xubuntu. After I login, the computer just hangs at the desktop wallpaper. It doesn't load any apps, icons, bars, custom wallpapers or anything. All I can do is move the mouse. Any help?07:45
GantaI can log into TTY however...It hangs a bit there, but I can hit Ctrl+C and it will take me to my home directory07:46
ganta_I just tried following a few posts online, but there doesn't seem to be much on it and none of the solutions seem to work08:03
ganta_This is odd. I may gave to just backup my laptop and do a clean install, which is what I was really trying to avoid...08:06

xubuntu95wthe first command gives me dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy15:06
xubuntu95wand according to mtab, /dev/sda1 mounted on /cdrom15:07
xubuntu95wi am running xubuntu live from a usb. same that i used to install xubuntu15:07

brainwashwhat does "sudo blkid" return?15:14

brainwashyou've installed xubuntu on a sd card?15:32
brainwashyou could try to use /dev/mmcblk0p1 instead of /dev/sda115:34
brainwashto follow the steps of the tutorial15:35
xubuntu95wmy acer netbook has only a ssd card with 32G B15:35
xubuntu95wok i will try that :)15:36
brainwashother than that, maybe you should ask in #ubuntu15:36
brainwashthe people over there usually deal with this sort of problem15:37
xubuntu95wi was at #ubuntu but had no awnser and quit.15:37
brainwash:/15:37
brainwashdon't give up15:37
xubuntu95wno =)15:38
xubuntu95wthe problem and getts me angry is that i tried many os and only ubuntu and derivate works because other never find my ssd15:39
xubuntu95wweird15:39
xubuntu95wbut i am persistent and a fighter =P15:39
holsteinif that helped with hardware support, you'd be in luck ;)15:39
xubuntu95wand i like xfce15:40
holsteini would try and make sure you are not setting some settings in the bios that makes it seem like your sd card is not supported15:41
holsteinxubuntu95w: thats what you have, correct? an sd card? not an ssd internal drive? correct?15:41
xubuntu95wdont think so15:41
xubuntu95wits ssd15:41
xubuntu95wmy only "hard drive"15:42
holsteinso, not an ssd card,but, and ssd internal hard drive? correct?15:42
xubuntu95winstead of a hdd its an ssd15:42
xubuntu95winternal15:42
holsteinxubuntu95w: no.. that ssd *is* the hard drive15:42
xubuntu95wnothing external15:42
xubuntu95wok i understand15:43
xubuntu95wmy hard disk is the ssd15:43
holstein10:31 < xubuntu95w> after a while it show me sda1 but that is my usb with xubuntu that i am using noiw to live xubuntu15:43
holstein^ after a while of what?15:43
xubuntu95wlike he was thinking and 3min later show me more than i have i picture taken15:44
holsteinthis sends up red flags of a hardware issue for me.. intermittent connections, coming and going with no explaination..15:44
xubuntu95wim trying tutorial with mmcblk0p1 as suggesterd by brainwash15:47
xubuntu95wbut sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt  is taking ages..15:47
holsteinxubuntu95w: but, taking ages is also a sign of hardware failure, in many cases15:48
xubuntu95whmmm15:49
xubuntu95wwell nothing happens..15:50
lccadminI'm streaming via hangouts, and every so often (I'm sure it's regular, I just haven't timed it yet) the video part blanks out.  Is something still going to sleep even though I shut the light locker off?15:51
cfhowlettlccadmin, sounds like ti15:53
cfhowlett*it*15:53
lccadminWhat else can I be checking on?15:54
cfhowlettlccadmin, hardware > power manager would be my first stop15:54
xubuntu95wwell in live i can see my disk an open it and see the files. so iat least it is showing and workin15:55
drclccadmin: You also might check your monitor (I used to have one that drove me crazy until I found the settings in the monitor itself.15:55
drcAnd is it just the video blanking or does the ausio also stop?15:56
drcs/ausio/audio/15:56
lccadminaudio I think is fine.  I'd have to check last week's cast, but I think the audio was fine.15:57
drcoh, you're streaming <out> ?15:58
xubuntu95wlooks like it mounted15:58
lccadminyes, on hangouts15:58
lccadmin1:42:50-ish of this video http://www.lcctv.org/january-11-2015/ is what happened last week.15:59
brainwashlccadmin: take a look at the terminal output of the command "xset q", specially the screen saver timeout and dpms settings16:01
xubuntu95wbrb16:05
lccadmindpms is disabled, but screen saver is set to blank and with a ten minute timeout.16:05
brainwashlccadmin: you could add "xset s off" to your autostart entries16:07
brainwashor use light-locker-settings to set the timeout to 016:07
lccadminAm I numbing it, or are screensaver settings nowhere to be found?  I'm very much thinking the former...16:08
brainwashlight-locker-settings in the settings manager16:08
lccadminAhh.  I htought that since I disabled light-locker, these didn't apply.  Doh!16:08
brainwashstarting with xubuntu 14.10 the power manager will take care of this timeout16:08
brainwashoh :D16:09
lccadminAhh.  I htought that since I disabled light-locker, these didn't apply.  Doh!16:09
xubuntu95wi was able to do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/516217/alert-dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxxxxxxx-does-not-exist-dropping-to-a-shell/516471#516471 but didnt solve my prob..16:20
xubuntu95wthanks to all who try help me ;)16:20
xubuntu95wgtg now. Bye =)16:20

horrowhello everybody I would like to ask is there a way to run photoshop CS6 in xubuntu 14.04 x32 without any errors? I mean i cant use my brush tools17:36
horrow?17:36
Alexfrencheven if you use wine i don't think if adobe photoshop will run18:03
knomeAlexfrench, photoshop cs6 has "gold" support for wine... please stop guessing.18:04
Alexfrenchok you know all, so help him, i shut my fucking mouth18:05
knomeAlexfrench, please watch the language18:05
knomebesides, he's gone18:05
knomeand for the record, no, i don't know everything but when i don't, i don't speak up and try to guess the right answer18:06
el_julianoHello! I don't find a way to display the general system information like RAM, OS-version and so on18:34
Unit193el_juliano: There's many different ways, lshw/lshw-gtk are one, inxi is a script that's pre-installed, and there's many other ways as well.18:35
bazhangdmidecode18:35
bazhangperhaps need sudo with that18:36
el_julianois there no pre-installed way just like the other linux versions/desktop environments?18:36
Unit193Right, dmidecode does need root access.18:36
bazhangyou could set it up with conky I suppose18:37
Unit193el_juliano: inxi, lshw, and dmidecode are all pre-installed..18:37
el_julianoI meant graphical. but thanks, i think dmidecode is enough18:37

wolffieukdrc I know some very basic coding so you could say I am a newbe at it I have some experience with editing things like configuration files but that is about it really.....
