rock64hi all have no question yet it just booted02:53
rock64im back so far it ran almost 10 mins not have any luck04:04
TechmanI'm running into an issue while testing this 17.10 image04:35
TechmanWhenever I click on the keyboard in the indicator area the whole thing just locks up04:35
TechmanLiterally dead-on-arrival for a desktop experience04:36
rock64ok back again maybe better luck before something go wrong04:40
kaptiontwo try ok now lets see if i can stay online for 10 mins04:43
alkisglostMeUbuntu: from your linuxmint grub, type "c" to get a command line, then "insmod btrfs", "set root=(hd0,msdos2)" (or wherever your other install is), and finally "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg", so that it loads your linux mate grub06:29
alkisgTechman: yeah I'm seeing that in 18.04, something's terribly wrong06:32
TechmanCan someone get a hold of Wimpy about this06:32
alkisgI pinged flexiondotorg a few weeks ago, no response yet06:33
TechmanI held off on installing it on my desktop for now06:33
alkisgTechman: btw, does alt+ctrl+f2 work for you at that point?06:34
TechmanI use F1, but yeah I guess06:34
TechmanI can use that to get out of the desktop06:34
TechmanBut I return to the desktop and it's all hung06:34
alkisgI started suggesting f2 because now with wayland, it goes in f06:34
alkisg*f106:34
TechmanI don't know anything about Wayland tbh06:34
alkisgSo pressing alt+ctrl+f1 in wayland does nothing at all06:35
Techmanwhy would they do that06:35
TechmanThat's like an antifeature06:35
alkisgIt actually makes more sense, why would graphics go in vt7 instead of starting normally from vt106:35
alkisgIt was xorg that was bad there06:35
Techmanoh06:35
alkisgAnd the other vts are only started when the user switches to them, saving ram06:36
TechmanIsn't Wayland still buggy though06:36
alkisgNot by itself buggy, it's just the apps aren't ready for it yet06:36
alkisgTechman: what's your keyboard layout? mine is us,gr06:38
TechmanI'm guessing it's just US, because it's a US keyboard06:38
alkisgTechman: eh, if you're only using us and not some other language, why do you have a keyboard applet?06:39
TechmanIt's a G.Skill KM780 MX (red backlit, not RGB)06:39
TechmanI have no idea, that's why I clicked on it to see why it was there06:39
TechmanAnd then...rip06:39
alkisgIf you still have that installation, it would be nice to see the output of `setxkbmap -query`, before clicking on the applet...06:42
Techmanalkisg: it was a livecd07:59
TechmanI didn't actually install it because of this07:59
TechmanDo you want me to restart into it again to test it out08:00
alkisgTechman: nah, not important, I don't think the keyboard is the issue08:01
alkisgit's only one of the ways to hang the session08:01
TechmanThere are other ways to bork the session?08:02
alkisgOh sure, for me in 18.04 it hangs after a few clicks anyway08:03
alkisgAlthough inside the live cd there's fcitx running, which is not running later in the installed session08:03
alkisgSo there's a possibility that what you saw in 17.10 was different to what I see in 18.0408:03
TechmanWell08:04
alkisg(fcitx was what was showing the keyboard applet in your case, afaik)08:04
TechmanCould this fcitx stuff be what is causing the issue08:04
alkisgThat's for chinese users, I had a lot of issues with that, I never use it in the installed system anyway08:04
alkisgI didn't have hanging issues with it though so far08:04
alkisgOnly "not being able to to properly" issues08:05
alkisg*to type08:06
TechmanOh ok08:07
TechmanI guess I'll hold off on this for a little bit then08:09
TechmanI could install 16.04 but honestly I think the improvements in MATE and all of these panel options has made it kinda obsolete in a sense08:09
* alkisg is only using LTS releases, the non-LTS ones aren't worth the debugging08:11

sacardewhat do I have to enable to auto-mount usb ?09:32
sacardeudisks2.service ?09:32
diogenes_sacarde, I don't know about mate, but in other DE, it's afaik goa service (gnome online account service)09:34
kernal_like a usb flash drive?09:35
sacardey09:36
kernal_never had a problem getting a usb flash drive to show up on mate?09:40
alkisgsacarde: usbs get automatically mounted in ubuntu mate09:58
alkisgAre you using some other distribution or flavor?09:58
sacardeubuntu mate10:02
sacardeis there a service that make this?10:02
sacardeor a udev rule?10:03
alkisgsacarde: sure, udev notifies udisks which notifies the desktop environment10:03
alkisgIt's all preconfigured10:03
alkisgDid you do something to break it?10:03
sacardemaybe10:03
sacardeudisks2.service ?10:04
alkisgYes; but what are you planning to do with that? It's not a matter of starting a service10:04
alkisgIf you want help in troubleshooting it, it's best to start with other commands10:05
