| caden | Hey, I am having problems with installing the Ubuntu desktop. Whenever I install it I cannot login. It will wait a few seconds, the screen will go black and it takes me back to the login screen | 20:58 |
|---|---|---|
| k1l_ | caden: sounds like the wrong video drivers? ist that image known to work? | 20:59 |
| caden | no, i have xubuntu installed and it works just fine | 20:59 |
| k1l_ | who is the owner of the .XAuthority file in that users home? | 21:00 |
| k1l_ | .Xauthority | 21:00 |
| caden | sorry, you will have to tell me how to do that. (i'm new to ubuntu) :) | 21:01 |
| k1l_ | "ls -al " in a terminal | 21:01 |
| k1l_ | what device is it? what ubuntu version? | 21:01 |
| caden | my device is a raspberry pi 2b and it is runnning ubuntu mate and xubuntu 15.04 | 21:02 |
| caden | oh and my x.org is configured | 21:03 |
| caden | r u there? | 21:17 |
| k1l_ | who is ownerand group of that file? | 21:18 |
| caden | the file doesnt seem to exist | 21:19 |
| k1l_ | so who is the owner of that users home? | 21:20 |
| caden | me | 21:20 |
| caden | there is only one user | 21:20 |
| k1l_ | i am quite sure xfce does need that file, too. | 21:21 |
| caden | well i dont know what to tell yo | 21:21 |
| caden | *you | 21:22 |
| caden | my /etc /X11/xorg.conf exists and has text in it | 21:25 |
| k1l_ | its not about the x11 | 21:26 |
| caden | well thats the video driver's config file | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | the desktop needs the .Xauthority file in the users home. | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | and that owner and group needs to be the user. | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | if you fiddel with sudo/root that can make that file be owned by root. and then you get exactly the effect, that you cant login anymore. | 21:27 |
| caden | ok sorry the file DOES exist. i was looking i /home instead of my user's home | 21:28 |
| k1l_ | who is the owner? | 21:29 |
| caden | how do i find that out | 21:29 |
| k1l_ | "ls -al" | 21:29 |
| caden | i am the owner | 21:29 |
| k1l_ | in terminal. if you open a terminal it will be in your users home. | 21:29 |
| caden | ya i know a lot about terminal; | 21:29 |
