[05:15] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[07:16] <ducasse> hi all \o
[12:15] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[22:32] <daftykins> has 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?
[22:33] <OerHeks> no kernel headers?
[22:35] <daftykins> hrmm
[22:35] <daftykins> so that would be a failed module build?
[22:37] <Bashing-om> daftykins: 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 .
[22:39] <daftykins> mmm, 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 HWE
[22:39] <daftykins> anyway, came up over in #kodi just now and seemed like a puzzle we've seen many times too, yeah :)
[22:41] <Bashing-om> Each time I mess with re-install Nvida driver ... I hold my breath .
[22:42] <daftykins> you would love it on Fedora ;) even worse
[22:43] <daftykins> you 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 fine
[22:51] <Bashing-om> daftykins: 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 .
[22:52] <daftykins> oh 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 usable
[22:53] <daftykins> install a package on *buntu, it works out of the box (usually)
