| keithzg[m] | Well drat, just finally upgraded my main PC at home to 17.10 and now I can't actually log in via SDDM. | 07:54 |
| Unit193 | What happens? | 07:54 |
| keithzg[m] | Brief black screen, then I'm back at the login screen as if nothing happened. Happens if I try Plasma or Openbox (don't have anything else installed there at the moment) | 07:55 |
| hateball | keithzg[m]: are you the owner of ~/.Xauthority ? | 07:57 |
| keithzg[m] | hateball: yup, solely owned by my user, rw | 07:57 |
| hateball | Hmmm | 07:58 |
| hateball | keithzg[m]: anything in ~/.xsession-errors after you try loggin in? | 07:58 |
| Unit193 | Yeah I thought of iceauthority and xauthority too, had some problems in that with artful myself. | 07:59 |
| keithzg[m] | hateball: Yeah I was looking at .xsession-errors, tailing it as I tried logging in, nothing seemed immediately helpful; https://paste.kde.org/psgi55hak | 08:00 |
| keithzg[m] | Next up I suppose I should quickly create a new user to make sure whether or not it's my user configs somehow nonetheless | 08:01 |
| hateball | keithzg[m]: probably the quickest way to test at any rate | 08:03 |
| keithzg[m] | Well well well, testuser waltzed into a Plasma session just fine | 08:05 |
| hateball | afraid I don't know how to debug a plasma session | 08:07 |
| keithzg[m] | Well there's a clue in that Openbox can't log in either. Hrmmm. | 08:11 |
| keithzg[m] | Haha wait I restarted SDDM and now the theme is broken? Weird | 08:12 |
| hateball | it did show X errors tho | 08:12 |
| hateball | keithzg[m]: what driver/gpu ? | 08:12 |
| hateball | was thinking if you have nvidia-blob for instance, and some automatic settings with nvidia-settings that might break the session | 08:13 |
| keithzg[m] | AMD, using amdgpu—in theory, I wouldn't be surprised if things are screwy post-upgrade | 08:14 |
| hateball | I am unfamiliar with AMD so no idea there | 08:15 |
| hateball | But if it works with a fresh user... | 08:15 |
| keithzg[m] | That SDDM is visibly complaining that it can't find /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/Main.qml feels like it might be more the key here though . . . | 08:15 |
| keithzg[m] | Yeah the fresh user can't login now either after my sddm restart, oddly enough | 08:15 |
| keithzg[m] | I'm just gonna hit it with a hammer called kubuntu-desktop^ and see if that solves anything, heh, then dig in deeper if not | 08:16 |
| acheronuk | sddm-theme-breeze installed? | 08:17 |
| keithzg[m] | heh yeah that was far too many packages being installed right now that shouldn't have needed installation | 08:17 |
| keithzg[m] | acheronuk: it is now! (or will be momentarily, at least) | 08:17 |
| keithzg[m] | harrumph, well that fixed the SDDM theming issue but my login remains barred | 08:18 |
| keithzg[m] | Current .xsession-errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25909251/ | 08:20 |
| keithzg[m] | The test user can't log in either now, even though SDDM seems to be working, bizarre. | 08:23 |
| hateball | hmmm, XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP shouldnt be blank should it | 08:23 |
| hateball | pretty sure that XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP should be =KDE | 08:24 |
| keithzg[m] | Interesting | 08:27 |
| keithzg[m] | Back in the day, now is when I would have temporarily moved my .kde folder, heh | 08:28 |
| hateball | and that should be set by SDDM when you pick your session | 08:28 |
| === michal- is now known as naraj | ||
| hateball | keithzg[m]: suppose you could try the solution here even if it is for 16.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/813544/graphical-components-stuck-on-kubuntu-16-04 | 08:31 |
| keithzg[m] | hateball: sadly that appears to have changed nothing :( | 08:33 |
| hateball | hmmm | 08:34 |
| keithzg[m] | Probably worth me poking around and commenting out some things in .profile and such, though, since it's clearly some sort of user config that's at issue here | 08:35 |
| keithzg[m] | Okay, so I moved my entire ~/.config folder and then plasma logged in. So it's something in there | 08:38 |
| keithzg[m] | I'm just going to go ahead and blame baloo here, even though that's probably entirely unfair ;) | 08:40 |
| keithzg[m] | hahaha wait if I try and launch firefox I get logged out? | 08:43 |
| hateball | That'll teach you | 08:44 |
| hateball | But it sure sounds like something got messed with your install | 08:44 |
| keithzg[m] | Yeah no kidding----happens with testuser too, so I think it's not so much that my old config was bad as it must be that my old config was doing extra stuff that happens to trigger whatever is failing | 08:46 |
| keithzg[m] | Hmm yaknow there are a ton of old amdgpu-pro packages still installed. I think it's time for a purge. | 08:58 |
| keithzg[m] | Yup, that did it! Everything appears to work fine now. I can even start up Firefox, if for some reason I wanted to :P | 09:02 |
| keithzg[m] | The lesson here is, as always, the problem is definitely whatever packages weren't installed from the repos :D | 09:03 |
| hateball | Hehe | 09:05 |

| o_a | Hello, all. I've been noticing for a while now that the loading spinning wheels on my installation spin super fast. I've no idea why this is happenning. Does anyone have a suggestion? | 18:29 |
| o_a | I mean the wheel that appears during Plasma's splash screen, or in the taskbar while an application is loading | 18:30 |
| RedHackIT | Heyy | 18:34 |
| alesan | hello I have installed kubuntu | 18:58 |
| alesan | what is the GUI application to install packages? | 18:58 |
| alesan | used to be "muon" but | 18:58 |
| alesan | it says it is not installed | 18:58 |
| alesan | I have not found anything in the K menu or in the settings | 18:58 |
| alesan | what is the GUI app to install more packages? | 18:58 |
| krytarik | alesan: Discover. | 19:01 |
| krytarik | (Literally.) | 19:02 |
| alesan | krytarik, is there any reason in the past several years they have changed the name of this central piece of software three times? | 19:06 |
| alesan | I do not have "Discover" installed apparently. | 19:07 |
| krytarik | What version are you on? | 19:07 |
| alesan | hm | 19:07 |
| alesan | how do I find out for sure? | 19:07 |
| krytarik | !version | 19:08 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 19:08 |
| alesan | 17.04 | 19:08 |
| alesan | oh maybe it's not the latest? | 19:08 |
| krytarik | It's not, no. | 19:08 |
| alesan | well it's not ancient either | 19:09 |
| alesan | however, what was the GUI package manager in 17.04 | 19:09 |
| krytarik | Huh, apparently Discover is not the default one in either, and while Muon is in 17.10, there seems to be none in 17.04 - iirc there was some issue with it during that cycle. | 19:11 |
| alesan | ok so what do you suggest? | 19:19 |
| === h is now known as Guest92487 | ||
| krytarik | Actually, the package name of Discover is "plasma-discover", and it's there by default in both versions. | 19:22 |
| krytarik | alesan: If you don't see it for some reason, just do: "sudo apt install plasma-discover" | 19:25 |
| clivejo | we have to use plasma-discover as there is already a package called discover in the archives - https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/discover | 19:25 |
| krytarik | Yes, just noticed that too. :D | 19:25 |
| alesan | why not "kdiscover" or "kpackagemanager" so that normal users can figure this out? | 19:27 |
| krytarik | Plasma is the desktop, so I guess it's fine. | 19:28 |
| clivejo | we closely work with Debian and they have a naming policy | 19:28 |
| clivejo | the application and project name is discover | 19:29 |
| clivejo | https://cgit.kde.org/discover.git/ | 19:29 |
| alesan | I never quite understood what "plasma" is and why it's necessary. I wish I could go back to "base" KDE :) | 19:30 |
| clivejo | plasma is the desktop environment | 19:30 |
| alesan | but with the dual-monitor autodetection :D | 19:30 |
| clivejo | base KDE is what we call Frameworks or KF5 | 19:31 |
| clivejo | so we have different tiers | 19:31 |
| clivejo | Qt > Frameworks > Plasma > KDE Applications | 19:32 |
| clivejo | on top of Ubuntu system | 19:32 |
| clivejo | kinfocenter will tell you what you have installed currently | 19:33 |
