ducassehi all \o07:16
BluesKajHey folks12:15
daftykinshas anyone gotten to the bottom of the issue yet, where if someone has installed an nvidia driver, when they enter their password at the login screen, it thinks for a moment then kicks them back out?22:32
OerHeksno kernel headers?22:33
daftykinshrmm22:35
daftykinsso that would be a failed module build?22:35
Bashing-omdaftykins: I have 3 other posters with similar issue .. just for info - that to this time with a number of expedients I have not resolved . Pssibility does exist that we "Have" a problem with nVidia .22:37
daftykinsmmm, i installed xubuntu once on a bare metal box many months ago from 14.04.5 media (so HWE kernel on there) and saw the issue myself, i ended up just reinstalling from 14.04.1 media to be without an HWE22:39
daftykinsanyway, came up over in #kodi just now and seemed like a puzzle we've seen many times too, yeah :)22:39
Bashing-omEach time I mess with re-install Nvida driver ... I hold my breath .22:41
daftykinsyou would love it on Fedora ;) even worse22:42
daftykinsyou have to boot in and blacklist nouveau, change the runlevel to init 3 (because i couldn't work out how to stop X on there) then run the installer binary by hand before rebooting and X coming up fine22:43
Bashing-omdaftykins: Now ya get a idea why I do like ubuntu ... I have messed around a bit some years back .. ubuntu was a breath of fresh air . I had the greatest amount of difficulty in understanding not to make things difficult .22:51
daftykinsoh i had the same as i was taught on debian, i found every package i installed and tried to use had defaults that stopped it from even being usable22:52
daftykinsinstall a package on *buntu, it works out of the box (usually)22:53
