| Forage | the live cd nightly builds of at least November 17 until now suffer from being unable to login. It shows a broken login screen instead of booting into GNOME Shell right away. Supplying the username "ubuntu" with no password does not allow me to login. Is there any other way? | 12:51 |
| LinDol | hi all | 14:31 |
| mitch | Hi all - I just recently installed Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 on my Dell XPS 8700 with 4th Gen i7 and Nvidia GTX 645. I seem to be having quite a few issues, so far the list includes I am unable to open system settings, either through command line by running gnome-control-center (it just hangs and does nothing) nor by going to the normal system menu's. Also, I am unable to restart my PC by command line or by GUI. When i enter init 6 as | 17:08 |
| mitch | root it tries toreboot the PC but never actually reboots. Goes to a black screen and does nothing until I hard shut it down. | 17:08 |
| mitch | I get several errors when I try opening system settings through command line: | 17:09 |
| mitch | mitch@mitch-XPS-8700:~$ sudo gnome-control-center | 17:09 |
| mitch | [sudo] password for mitch: | 17:09 |

| mitch | I opened a thread on ubuntuforums over 24 hours ago but no one has replied yet so thought I'd try on here for some help/tips. | 17:11 |
| cap0 | mitch: those aren't serious. Just missing desktop files. it's probably just ignoring things that can be optionally installed | 17:15 |
| mitch | Ok, how do I get it to open System Settings then? Also, any tips on trying to troubleshoot the issue of not being able to reboot? | 17:18 |
| cap0 | can you open gnome-control-center without sudo? | 17:23 |
| mitch | Nope, it just does this: | 17:23 |
| cap0 | as for the shutdown issue, I'm afraid I can't be off any assistance | 17:23 |

| hans109h | I'm trying to find more information on gnome-system-log, specifically why some logs are expandable and some are not, however the documentation is very lacking. | 21:23 |
| darkxst | hans109h, you should be using gnome-logs these days | 21:25 |
| darkxst | gnome-system-log is old, and likely doesnt support journal | 21:25 |
| hans109h | darkxst, thanks for that. I had never heard of gnome-logs. I wonder why it didn't install with Ubuntu | 21:26 |
| hans109h | Wow. Much nicer already! | 21:27 |
| darkxst | hans109h, apparently I forget to ever seed it | 21:30 |
| hans109h | Actually, now that I'm looking it it, gnome-logs is only for journal, so I'm right back where I started. When I said expanded I meant that for certain logs gnome-system-log will let you look at certain days and I think it is based on log rotation. | 21:31 |
| darkxst | hans109h, the journal contains everything, however by default its not persistant, so only has current boot | 21:32 |
| darkxst | hans109h, see /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz | 21:33 |
| hans109h | right, What I was trying to do was to view an apache access log by day. | 21:34 |
| darkxst | maybe apache doesnt use rsyslog | 21:36 |
| hans109h | I can't remember. | 21:38 |
| darkxst | mitch try run `gnome-control-center -v` that should provide more info | 21:49 |
| hans109h | looks like I'll have to explore mod_journald | 21:49 |
| darkxst | mitch, there is a known issue with logout currently affecting some users, not sure if that affects reboots also | 21:50 |
| darkxst | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758112 | 21:51 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 758112 in general "system freezes hard after logout" [Critical,New] | 21:51 |
| darkxst | except that shouldnt effect 15.10 | 21:52 |
| mitch | darkxst I tried gnome-control-center -v just now and it does the exact same thing as when I tried it without -v flag. | 22:55 |
| mitch | mitch@mitch-XPS-8700:~$ gnome-control-center -v | 22:55 |
