[10:13] oh,finally [10:13] finally after 6 minutes of waiting? i'm sorry for your suffering. :P [10:14] hahaha [10:31] a [10:31] good tool [10:37] 歐豪yeah [10:45] english only please, and if you have a support question, ask it [10:46] otherwise we have #xubuntu-offtopic for general chatter [10:46] thanks [11:25] Hello. I am having some problems with xubuntu (maybe just xfce, I am not sure what the issue is). After logging in, through lightdm, instead of loading xfce as normal all that appears is a blank blue screen andthe mouse cursor [11:26] I can-t even user ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal. This happens every time I log in. [11:27] is it a fresh install or what? [11:27] What do you mean by fresh install' [11:27] a new install, when did you install xubuntu? [11:28] Some days, maybe a week ago. [11:31] and when did the problem appear:? [11:36] It appeared some days after installing it. But, I was able to goa round the issue by hard resetting (holding the powerbutton) and, in lightdm going to the terminal tying rm /rf ~/.cache/sessions and them it would work; but now, it no longer works. [11:38] if it wasn't from the very beginning but appeared later, it means you have installed something or made a change that broke the login process [11:38] Maybe. What what could it be, any know programs? [11:39] just try to remember what changes you have done before you start facing this issue [11:40] I simply installed some programs, chrome, qbittorrent, grive, gummi, PyCharm, python3.6. I think that's about it. [11:42] was python in repositories or you compiled it? [11:42] It was in the repositories. [11:43] do you have a separate /home folder? [11:43] No, I have just one. [11:44] It is all in the same partition. It is all mostly in the default state. [11:46] then you could try backup all .hiddelfolders and files from /home folder then remove all the configs and reboot, it should recreate the needed configs on startup, if doesn't work then reinstall, that's my opinion [11:47] How would I go about backing up and removing all the configs? [11:47] you can create a folder home.old and copy paste all .folers and .files into that folder [11:47] then remove them from the priginal /home [11:47] then reboot [11:47] original* [11:48] Can I do that from the usb while "trying xubuntu"? I cannot access the desktop in xubuntu. [11:48] yes you can do from usb live session [11:51] I don't seem to be able to acess the /home folder from the usb live session. [11:51] what does it show? [11:51] The /home folder from the xubuntu installed on my SSD, that is. [11:51] It does not appear in the file manager. [11:52] try looking in gparted [11:53] It does appear in gparted. [11:53] righ click on it and see if there's mount option [11:54] No, it is grayed out. [11:55] that's very strange try running in terminal: lsblk [11:56] I have done that. [11:56] what is the label of your ssd [11:56] sda2 [11:57] now run: sudo mkdir /media/newhd [11:57] Have done that, [11:57] sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/newhd [11:58] It seems to have worked. let me confirm it. [11:58] thunar /media/newhd [11:58] run that [11:58] Yep. Got the SSD mounted. [11:59] I can now access the home folder. [11:59] cool [12:00] Where am I supposed to create the home.old folder? [12:01] in your /home/username/Documents for example [12:02] I don't have permission to edit anything there. [12:02] REMEMBER! you have to delete only hidden files that start with . (dot) [12:02] if you don't have permissions then run in terminal: gksu thunar /media/newhd [12:05] I don't have gksu installed, and don't seem to be able to isntall it. [12:06] ok then simply sudo thunar [12:06] Yes, that works. [12:08] But, I cannot create folder. Only acess the documents. [12:09] why you can't create the folder? [12:09] I don't know. I can't create anything there. simply copy and open files. [12:10] do you have a free usb drive? [12:10] I only have the one I'm using right now in the to run the usb live media. [12:11] I can upload the files to Google Drive, or something like that. [12:11] close any running terminal and any running thunar [12:11] and try once again in terminal: sudo thunar /media/newhd [12:12] It works! You are a genius! [12:13] lol, I'm far from it [12:13] Now in this home.old folder, I put every .file and .folder. [12:13] yes [12:14] and don't touch folders which have no .(dot) in front [12:14] Are the files in those folders going to be removed? [12:15] in what folders? [12:15] The ones with no dots. [12:15] no theya re not gonna be removed [12:15] Ok. So, now I simply reboot and see if it works, right? [12:15] after you done copying all hidden files and folders you have to delete them from the original /home [12:16] Yes, I've done that. [12:16] ok reboot and have your fingers crossed [12:16] I'll come back if the problem persists. If not, thank you, diogenes.

Danke für Dein Verständnis! === Church- is now known as Church === paolo_ is now known as paolo [21:21] Want to update from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04.2 LTS but the updater isn't letting me possibly due to problems with some of the installed software. Only a partial update is permited with all the "new" stuff only for 14.04. How do I go around this? === njalk_ is now known as njalk [21:55] hi all. i'm looking for a terminal for xubuntu 17.04 which shows the line numbers like at this picture: http://www.unixmen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/screenshot-2016-04-21_07-17-36.jpg ; can you suggest me one please? =) [21:58] StevieW: that is a VI editor, not terminal :) [21:58] the one with lines [21:59] numbers [21:59] pavlushka, i know that many editors have it, but i actually wanted a terminal with this feature. it can be an advantage sometimes [21:59] just at the left side of the home tree [21:59] not for copying, just showing [22:00] (the numbers) [22:01] StevieW: and that one I looks like some media player (terminal mode), the home tree [22:02] yep, true =) i meant the right window, i know that this is also an editor. i meant the style of it which i wish for a terminal =) [22:04] StevieW: me too [22:05] good luck :) [22:09] StevieW: though you can view text and may pdfs with line numbers in terminal as "cat file.txt -n" [22:10] ok, another question. this here is an old version of the rxvt-unicode terminal: https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/rxvt-unicode.png ; if i install the new version for 17.04 (apt-get install rxvt-unicode) then it looks very different. and unfortunately it doesn't have any options which you could change. But this glowing text color of the old rxvt is AWESOME! Could you please help me to get exactly this color in any terminal where it's [22:10] possible? ;-) [22:10] thanks pavlushka, i'll notice that [22:13] StevieW: that png file is the original sample of rxvt or your installed rxvt preview? [22:15] no, it's an old version of rxvt which i found online. the original which i just tried looks like the mate-terminal with white background. [22:16] StevieW: "the original which i just tried looks like the mate-terminal with white background." after your install? [22:19] yes, after my install [22:25] * pavlushka already engaged his installer to install 0ad, some 15 minutes, lol [22:28] StevieW: btw, I see the rxvt (not urxvt) here is actually with barebone look [22:28] StevieW: here https://www.tecmint.com/linux-terminal-emulators/ [22:29] pavlushka, what is 0ad? [22:29] StevieW: a real-time stratigc game [22:29] ok [22:53] StevieW: when I launch rxvt-tabbed, it loads as white background with tab feature [22:53] and there is "rxvt --help" [22:56] StevieW: and for more help, there is #rxvt-unicode :) [22:57] channel [22:57] * pavlushka calling it a session :p [23:09] ok pavlushka, thanks a lot =)
