[12:49] <Forage> good afternoon
[12:51] <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?
[14:31] <LinDol> hi all
[17:08] <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.
[17:09] <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:

[17:11] <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.
[17:15] <cap0> mitch: those aren't serious. Just missing desktop files. it's probably just ignoring things that can be optionally installed
[17:18] <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?
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <mitch> mitch@mitch-XPS-8700:~$ gnome-control-center

[21:23] <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.
[21:25] <darkxst> hans109h, you should be using gnome-logs these days
[21:25] <darkxst> gnome-system-log is old, and likely doesnt support journal
[21:26] <hans109h> darkxst, thanks for that.  I had never heard of gnome-logs.  I wonder why it didn't install with Ubuntu
[21:27] <hans109h> Wow. Much nicer already!
[21:30] <darkxst> hans109h, apparently I forget to ever seed it
[21:31] <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.
[21:32] <darkxst> hans109h, the journal contains everything, however by default its not persistant, so only has current boot
[21:33] <darkxst> hans109h, see /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz
[21:34] <hans109h> right, What I was trying to do was to view an apache access log by day.
[21:36] <darkxst> maybe apache doesnt use rsyslog
[21:38] <hans109h> I can't remember.
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <darkxst> mitch, there is a known issue with logout currently affecting some users, not sure if that affects reboots also
[21:51] <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]
[21:52] <darkxst> except that shouldnt effect 15.10
[22:55] <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
