Super_L+Tab brings up the task switcher but nothing happens on the second Tab-press. Is there a fix for this? === miki is now known as Guest5011 === santa is now known as Guest98110 === admin002 is now known as maziokey [18:02] Hello! Anyone who knows if there is any reason why after reboot an old sddm.conf is replaced? [18:04] replaced with what ? [18:04] it's likley it's a package upgrade that can't complete it's install until a reboot [18:09] ikonia: sddm is just showing a black screen cause it is trying to autologin with a user that does not exist. So I'm trying to change that user or remove the autologin portion. Whatever I do, it works until I reboot. After the reboot, the old sddm.conf is back. Any idea why? [18:10] so it keeps coming back after every reboot ? [18:10] is this your machine ? or a managed machine by someone else [18:10] ikonia: my machine [18:11] ikonia: I just tried to purge sddm, and the file was still there... very weird... [18:11] is it a systemd generated file ? [18:11] (I've never really looked at it in ubuntu) [18:12] that is what I was asking... is it maybe something generated? I read online that it is normal behavior to edit it... [18:13] change the permission on it to be read only, see if it still gets changed [18:13] (as a quick test) [18:14] I can try... ok, I reboot, thanks for your help :-) [18:24] ikonia: nothing worked, something is appending that section to the file. Probably cause this is a live system built with mkusb. [18:24] ikonia: I wonder what is doing this... [18:25] live system !!!! [18:25] livesystem is read only [18:25] it uncompresses into ram [18:25] so when you reboot it reparses the disk and loads a fresh version of the disc into ram [18:25] disk even [18:25] ikonia: this is persistent [18:25] right, but not all files are [18:26] ah damn... [18:26] normally only user space or specific installs are, [18:26] I should unpack the system then [18:27] luc4: is that file / file system being delivered from the squash FS component [18:27] if so - then it's not going to be part of the persistant install [18:31] ikonia: I'm not entirely sure... cause the file was very long, then I removed everything, now the file is just a couple of lines, just with the autologin section appended [18:31] ikonia: so it did change [18:31] I suspect it's part of the immutable system [18:32] ikonia: not only, but if I purge sddm, the file is not there after the reboot [18:32] I thought you said it was there ? [18:33] ikonia: if I purge sddm and remove the file manually, I get no file after reboot [18:33] right because the package is gone, and from memory (I could be wrong on this) persistance does hold a package manifest [18:36] ikonia: but isn't there a better way to build a system from usb? [18:37] ikonia: I tried every possible way and this is the only one that worked :-( [18:37] are you trying to make a live system - or just a standard install on USB ? [18:37] ikonia: I intend to work on this system [18:38] not the question I asked [18:38] ikonia: I need a regular system, just on USB instead of on internal HD [18:38] ok - so why not just install to USB a full system ? [18:38] why use any form of "live system" [18:39] ikonia: eh tried that, it just broke the bootloader on the macbook [18:39] shouldn't do [18:39] ikonia: and the usb didn't run [18:39] I suspect the install was not setup properly [18:39] ikonia: well, I could try again, but I don't think it is going to change [18:40] why do you not think it will change ? [18:40] ikonia: seems like it should be the proper way [18:40] ikonia: same actions -> same result [18:40] not if the action is the wrong action [18:40] ikonia: the system was on the USB, but it couldn't boot [18:40] understanding the mac boot process and the grub install location importance will be key [18:41] ikonia: I selected to install on the usb device [18:41] ikonia: also the bootloader [18:41] ikonia: I was careful to that [18:41] right, but where did you install grub ? [18:41] ikonia: on the usb [18:41] ok - so how did you expect the mac to boot it ? [18:42] ikonia: the mac has its own bootloader [18:42] yes, thats why I'm asking how did you expect the mac to boot it ? [18:42] the mac has its own bootloader, which lets you select the device to start [18:42] which is what I'm doing now [18:43] after that, grub starts [18:43] when I installed on the USB, nothing was starting at all [18:43] luc4: ok - so you're chainloading grub, great [18:43] so what's the problem then ? [18:43] "nothing was starting" ? [18:43] nothin [18:43] and you said "it broke the mac boot loader" [18:43] yes [18:44] nothing was starting in fact [18:44] so how could a USB install, self contained on a USB device touch the mac boot loader ? [18:44] ikonia: that is unknown [18:44] but that happened [18:44] right, which is why I'm saying understand the mac boot process and the grub setup [18:44] unless a bug in the installer installed grub in the wrong device [18:44] no [18:45] that goes where you tell it [18:45] then it was on the usb device [18:45] but the mac bootloader did not show the usb device anymore, so I couldn't reach grub [18:46] the only app that creates a proper device is mkusb [18:46] tried others but the mac does not detect it [18:47] I'll try again anyway, just to be sure... thanks for your time === keithzg_ is now known as keithzg === z is now known as Guest12851 === gonyere_ is now known as gonyere === sysadmin is now known as VlanX === kubuntu is now known as Guest85738
