[00:28] Hi. During runtime of the system -- half an hour after boot -- I see systemd-modules-load in my syslog, and a number of issues following, with eventual system crash. All I can find indicates that systemd-modules-load should only run on boot, not while the system is in use. Can anyone point me at possible causes? [00:59] so for some reason my fresh install of 16.04 is not recognizing my HDMI output device, it's not listed in pulse audio control as a possible choice, only my headphone jack [01:00] hmmm [01:01] some things i've read online recommend installing the alsa daily builds, but that seems odd === doc_ is now known as doc|home [01:23] Any1 with 5 minutes to teach me how to properly do a NTP AMP atack.

[10:18] lapion: the settings for most programs (panel included) are stored in ~/.config, you can try moving it aside in e.g. .config-bad, and logout/login again [10:18] lapion: there's also gnome-panel --reset, which resets settings [10:18] lotuspsychje how to do that? [10:18] I'll be back tomorrow. need to sleep. gonna make it a project for the day [10:18] lotuspsychje: well that y the E exist at ETA, nothing solid. but kewl I got it, thanks for helping me out :) [10:18] gnight [10:19] alkisg, I did all the .gnome .config removal [10:19] !grub > jk^ did you read this?

[10:20] 16.04.3 LTS ubuntu basic] [10:21] Hm, well, properly removing .config should fix issues with the current user, unless you tried it while you were already logged in so the files go written/flushed just before logout [10:22] alkisg, upgrade from 14.04 [10:22] Try logout, login from vt1 (alt+ctrl+F1) and removing from there [10:23] alkisg, to prevent file flushing problems I logout and do all removing from vc1 [10:23] vt1 [10:43] lotuspsychje https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eOppQwefWuuYr38WY5P893XR2DWG0fWe/view?usp=drivesdk [10:44] jk^: try to boot one yes [10:45] One?

[10:49] click the X in the top-right corner of it [10:50] seems to remember it [10:50] alkisg, I used a vt to start xinit as root then sudoed to the the user and then used gnome-session --debug 2> etc etc.. [10:50] jk^: have you recently uninstalled applications or dependecies of your system? [10:51] jk^: try this: boot in a kernel with recoverymode and choose root with network access and: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [10:52] lapion: as I said, you could create a /usr/share/xsessions/xterm.desktop session instead, and select xterm from the display manager [10:58] 'Morning all [10:59] I'm looking for the simplest desktop widget (like conky) to simply display a png image with transparency over desktop wallpaper; Advice is needed :) [10:59] Yes lotuspsychje i unistalled the app "Schermo" its translation from italian might be "Monitor/Display" [11:00] I did it by a click error === mma is now known as Ubuntivity-1 [11:04] How ever there isn't "Root with network access". There is "Network: enable network" and a different item "Root: go to a shell with root's privileges". Which of these two options have i to choose? [11:04] lotuspsychje [11:05] jk^: rootshell with network enabled === Ubuntivity-1 is now known as Ubuntivity [11:08] !info gdesklets | Ubuntivity can this help?

Version 0.36.1-7build4 (artful), package size 2315 kB, installed size 4471 kB [11:08] There isn't an item like that [11:08] jk^: ok, enable network first, then go to a rootshell [11:09] lotuspsychje: anything simpler? [11:09] Jus 1) "Network: enable network" and 2) "Root: go to a shell with root's privileges" Which of these two options have i to choose? [11:09] Ok i'll do that soon [11:10] Ubuntivity: lemme look further [11:10] lotuspsychje: hopefully with least cpu usage and least dependencies [11:11] Ubuntivity: not from repos, so use at own risk: https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/gnome-photo-frame-desktop-gadget-for-rotating-images-in-ubuntu/ [11:11] thanks lotuspsychje, I'll check that out [11:12] lotuspsychje: it asks me "Press enter for maintenance (or Control-D to continue [11:12] ) [11:13] Ubuntivity: perhaps another idea is xscreensaver showing your pictures?

[11:24] No [11:24] alkisg, mate works perfect... [11:24] Maybe for a clicking error [11:24] lapion: it doesn't use gnome-panel, so sure [11:25] jk^: so you had a xubuntu system, and you clicked with the mouse, and it stopped working? [11:25] alkisg:
