[00:00] Is this the Ubuntu group? Making sure. [00:01] Hello? [00:01] mint: this is the ubuntu support channel [00:02] mint: do you have an ubuntu (not Mint, just in case that is what you are running) support question? [00:02] Ahh.. is Mint not allowed here? [00:02] Cos the mint server doesn't have a clue [00:03] mint: Mint is not supported here [00:03] !mint | mint [00:03] mint: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [00:03] Thought it was more of an open comm -- cya around then :(. [00:18] g [00:21] teremok [00:21] test [00:35] Yo guys, is there a way to clean out your repo list? [00:36] Even manually.. I added a bunch of kali repos to my source list (I think.. What ever list update looks at) and just want to clean them up now as I'm finished with them. [00:37] /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d [00:39] Hello. I am running ubuntu 17.10 with gdm3. I have an issue where openarena goes full screen on the wrong monitor. I think this is because the system default is on the wrong monitor. I read that i can copy my ~/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm3/.config to resolve this but it is not changning which monitor the system sees as default at the login screen. Can anyone assist me? [00:40] Legend v0lksman <# === S1 is now known as Guest27862 [00:43] v0lksman, Sorry man. Nothing in either of those but when I SSH into my server it says 403 updates to be done. [00:43] Update, upgrade and dist-upgrade doesn't stop this from coming up. [00:45] sources.list is a file and sources.list.d is a dir with files. sources.list must have something in it because that is where apt gets it's list of repos from for Ubuntu itself. sources.list.d is for additional lists if you added them manually [00:45] Can I ask about installing popcorn-time here? [00:45] have you rebooted the instance since the last upgrade? [00:51] ubuntu minimal install worked with usb 3g modem but after the install is ready it does not, what now? [00:51] v0lksman, source.list has some stuff I added manually and the standard stuff but none of the kali repos. [00:52] I didn't realise .list.d was a directory. I'll have to check that again.. [00:52] And yeah, restarted a bunch [00:55] v0lksman, yeah nothing in sources.list.d either. [00:56] I used some python script to add all the repos and it has a remove tool built-in. I just tried that. It stopped the repos being updated [00:56] So when I run apt-get update I don't see them but it's still saying 400+ updates to be done when I log on === newdimension_ is now known as newdimension === root is now known as Guest66854 [00:59] Hi all === Guest66854 is now known as vendetaxv [01:01] Readme in Popcorntime documentation says to do "gulp run". But I get "Local gulp not found in ~/Downloads/PPT". Am I using gulp correctly? [01:01] ahhh i messed up and i don't know how to fix it... [01:03] SS1: "gulp" is not a thing in ubuntu. Nor is help with popcorntime supported here [01:03] I installed an m.2 ssd in my laptop, unplugged my hdd, installed ubuntu and now even with the bios order set correctly i'm booting into the hdd [01:04] they are listed as the same mount point in gparted [01:04] ubuntu-vg [01:04] leftyfb: Understandable, do you know of a place I can get help from? [01:04] SS1: wherever you got popcorntime from [01:05] leftyfb: Thanks :) [01:06] SS1, I see references to people having the same issue elsewhere, eg. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26136312/gulp-command-does-not-work [01:07] SS1, have you looked elsewhere yourself? [01:09] guiverc: I got it from popcorntime.sh, I'll look at your stackflow link now. Maybe it'll help [01:10] SS1, note: i know nothing about the software; it was the first of a number startpage reported on a search .. had an answer with 40+ upvotes.. (there were others too) [01:15] guiverc: Gulp does work I think, but I'm unsure if I'm using it correctly. It returns "Local gulp not found in ~/Downloads/PPT" when I do gulp run [01:16] guiverc: Nevermind, you know nothign about the software, you just wrote that. Sorry. [01:17] SS1, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:17] guiverc: 17.10 artful === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:20] Multiple VGs found with the same name: ubuntu-vg. [01:20] Hey guys. It seems I can only boot through recovery mode without video hardware acceleration [01:21] All other boot options just seem to get stuck [01:22] the only gulp supported is the default (universe repo) gulp - as leftyfb stated - popcorn* isn't a ubuntu package.. i looked at gulp & its too far from my knowledge-base so i couldn't help sorry. [01:23] insanity99: Graphic's driver ? At the login screen does key combo ctl+alt+F2 yield a console interface ? [01:24] guiverc: I understand. Popcorntime is far from an ubuntu package, just hoped for the best asking here. Thank you anyway :) [01:26] hmmm vgdisplay then vgrename using the uid. lets reboot and see === marve is now known as Guest53028 [01:28] Bashing-om: If I get as far as the log in screen I think so [01:31] insanity99: login there ,, and let's see what there is for a driver . what shows in the configuration line of ' sudo lshw -C display ' ? [01:33] ok cool it worked [01:34] yay === alexandre is now known as Guest27657 [01:51] Sorry about that [01:51] http://termbin.com/yfyo Bashing-om [01:53] insanity99: No driver loaded " display UNCLAIMED " . what release is this ' lsb_release -a ' ? [01:55] No LSB moduels are available [02:00] insanity99, did you use the `-a` option as Bashing-om said [02:01] No LSB modules are available. [02:01] Distributor ID: LinuxMint [02:01] Description: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia [02:01] Release: 18.3 [02:01] Codename: sylvia [02:02] Bashing-om: guiverc [02:04] Does this help sorry? [02:05] Sorry everyone but could still can't work out why my server keeps saying there are 400+ packages to be updated.

[02:07] Okay sorry. If I install Ubuntu 17.10 and have the same issue will you help me then? I don't really know what I'm doing but panicking because I need a stable system in the next few hours [02:07] Intee: it says Kali [02:07] Intee: [02:07] Linux PurityServer 4.4.0-116-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 12 21:23:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux [02:07] I'm not fully retarded right? It is ubunut haha. [02:07] Ubuntu* right? [02:08] Intee: the picture you posted says welcome to kali linux [02:08] Yeah I just noticed but what I just posted was "uname -a" [02:09] I swear I installed Ubuntu server and not Kali.. The hell. [02:09] Ok.. [02:09] leftyfb: Sorry if I install Ubuntu and it has the same issue do you think we can fix it? [02:09] lsb_release -a gives me all Kali shit. [02:10] I've gone done f*cked up somewhere. [02:10] insanity99: I would suggest installing 16.04 [02:10] !language | Intee [02:10] Intee: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [02:10] Roger [02:11] https://imgur.com/a/3QcFR - Do I have Kali or Ubuntu installed? haha [02:11] what do you think? [02:12] nothing on that page says ubuntu [02:12] I just checked the USB I installed this from and it has Ubuntu server on it... [02:12] Ok leftyfb I'll download that now. Does it have a lot less features? [02:12] I mean if it works for now I'll be happy anyyway [02:12] So I HOPE Ubuntu is installed. [02:12] Intee: it's not ubuntu. it's kali [02:13] The hell did I manager that from a USB boot of Ubuntu server. [02:13] Thanks leftyfb [02:13] insanity99: ubuntu long term stability is presently release 16.04 . [02:14] The hell, it doesn't have any of the Kali packages installed and all my source stuff is pure ubuntu. [02:14] This is strange. [02:14] Bashing-om: So less flashy more stable? [02:14] what's in your /etc/apt/sources.list file? And ../sources.list.d [02:14] Intee: quit downloading linux images from torrent sites :P [02:14] Intee, ^^^ [02:15] apb1963: it's not ubuntu [02:15] insanity99: 17.10 has support for 9 months from date of release .. 16.04 has 5 years support . [02:15] leftyfb, that's what I assume, but it should identify the issue better. [02:15] not really [02:16] namaste [02:16] Ok. Will USB image writer be good enough to make a reliable live usb? [02:16] namaste, Beni-Hana [02:17] insanity99: From a linix install .. the sane tool to write an image is 'dd' . [02:18] I've never used linux before sorry Bashing-om [02:19] insanity99: what you are booted now though Mint is linux . [02:20] Bashing-om: Yeah I just installed it today and can't get it to boot properly. As much as I like the look of it [02:20] Any OS that fuctions well will do me though. I just need it to boot [02:20] anybody ever done linux from scratch? (lfs) [02:21] insanity99: There are a number of releases of 'buntu ; a wide range of choice for the desk top that you "might" prefer . [02:22] this has the best community for support though right Bashing-om? [02:22] tre99, this is a Ubuntu support channel - even if someone has used from-scratch, they may not reply as your question is off-topic; maybe try #ubuntu-discuss or elsewhere [02:24] insanity99: ubuntu support is what sold ne to stay with it as my operating system of choice - many years ago . Check out xubuntu : https://xubuntu.org/download . [02:24] 0ad [02:26] Bashing-om: So these flavours can get support yes? but Mint can't? [02:26] insanity99: yepper . [02:26] !flavours | insanity99 [02:26] insanity99: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [02:28] insanity99, official flavors are pretty easy to spot - xubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu-mate, kubuntu, ubuntu-budgie, ... [02:28] Right ok thanks [02:29] Guy on the mint channel thinks my laptop is dying... [02:29] guiverc: sorry [02:29] gonna install ubuntu and see how it goes [02:31] insanity99: Not dying .. just no graphic's driver for the GUI . [02:32] Oh good [02:33] writing the usb now [02:34] insanity99: decide on the flavour you prefer, get it installed, come back then with any questions that you may have . [02:37] anyone know of a repository UI/listing for all the subjective best or very worthwhile software? [02:38] Rainbow7, that is very subjective (best?!!) - each repo defines where it comes from & ...... - have you tried the software.boutique (app.store) - it tries to pick 'best' but again subjective.. [02:38] Rainbow7: that's not a thing [02:39] software.boutique is the application front-store for ubuntu-mate; if you select software it has it but don't have repo in your lists, it adds it as required... [02:47] Rainbow7: You should focus on installing software you need to accomplish your goals. Not install a bunch of software because somewhere someone labeled it "best" [02:57] how do I get the "receive-key" out of an 'add-apt-repository?' [02:59] Hi guys this is insanity99 on my phone now. Trying to install ubuntu but having the same problem. Incredibly fast scrolling list of checks I think? With [ok] and [failed] [02:59] Rainbow7, If I were faced with that desire, I would look into alternativeto.net [03:00] !md5sum [03:00] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [03:00] MobileInsanity99: ^^ [03:02] Bashing-om ok doing this now [03:03] MobileInsanity99: K, we will get through this . [03:04] I didn't download from torrent site apb1963 mateothgreat haha. I did however use some python script I found that is like a 'easy' way to install packages that come default on Kali [03:04] Thank you Bashing-om. It got to 50 odd then rebooted? [03:04] https://pastebin.com/aaR6scB3 [03:04] It must have somehow changed my distro because I Still have the boot USB I loaded this server from and it's def Ubuntu server haha. [03:05] MobileInsanity99: 1st is to verify the downloaded .iso file, then verify the copy . [03:08] If anyone cares, the script I used that messed with my distro: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin [03:11] i got randomly slow wifi with "Intel Wireless 7260" ...anyonw know about this? o [03:11] (i'm on 16.04) [03:14] Sorry Bashing-om now I can't even get into my mint boot to do the check [03:15] MobileInsanity99: changed the boot priority to the drive holding the mint install ? [03:17] Bashing-om nah. It just suddenly booted after several attempts. Its strange that the ubuntu live usb is having the exact same issue with the scrolling text right? [03:19] MobileInsanity99: Well, yeah .. unless uou have set it so .. should not see the boot messages . [03:29] Bashing-om: the md5 checksum is ok [03:29] b47e23601d56533fb01a941ef1794e57 [03:30] insanity99: Great . next is to check the copy to the USB : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck . " check disk for defects" . [03:32] Ok thanks Bashing-om. Oh yeah sudo lshw -C display no longer shows unclaimed [03:37] Intee: well. progress made :) .. " try ubuntu " also had good results ? [03:39] I have a question about Firefox touchscreen scrolling in 16.04 - it doesn't seem to be working for me even if I run it with env MOZ_USEXINPUT2=1 or play with about:config [03:39] Intee: Opps .. bad high light .. sorry for the ping / [03:39] Anyone had any luck getting it working? It works in chrome // chromium, and a number of other apps [03:40] Haha all g man. I was like 'The hell is Try Ubuntu?...' even opened googled to make sure it wasn't a command or something haha [03:40] Bashing-om I am now on ubuntu. I did it by setting nomodeset [03:40] Rather than soft splash? [03:41] MobileInsanity99: Should not be needed .. as with AMD the driver is in the kernel . Need to get the AMD driver working . [03:42] You mean soft splash isn't required? [03:42] Oh I see [03:42] Okay what's next Bashing-om [03:42] MobileInsanity99: No, I mean that the boot parameter nomodeset should not have been needed . [03:43] Hello. Has anyone noticed that apt is very very slow? I try to update my system or download software via apt and it freezes at "connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com" Never had this issue in the past and been having this issue for about a month now. Tried to change the server as well and no change. Thanks [03:43] how do I get the "receive-key" out of an 'add-apt-repository?' [03:44] MobileInsanity99: Run ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' . See if you pull in any graphic stuff . [03:47] rocketeer99: for mozilla/firefox related issues, there is a network moznet/irc.mozilla.org with a #firefox dedicated channel :) === marve is now known as Guest19279 [03:48] pavlushka: So sorry, thank you for letting me know [03:50] donofrio: try "gpg --recv-keys key-id" [03:51] Bashing-om is that meant to work from the live usb or only after I install it? [03:52] MobileInsanity99: Sorry, thought you were installed . Yes the update from the install . [03:52] Haha sorry, no I hadn't gotten that far. Running the install now [03:53] MobileInsanity99: :) .. patience Bashing-om . [03:54] pavlushka, I'll try [03:55] mike602: May be your networking conf is a little messed up, so it takes time to get the routing, are you connected using two interfaces simultaneously? like the wired lan and wifi? [03:55] I appreciate it Bashing-om [03:56] MobileInsanity99: Good folks deserve to be running ubuntu :P [03:56] ha ha ha [03:56] @pavlushka have this issue on 2 machines. One is connected via ethernet and other is via wifi, both with same issue. Other than that, my internet is running fast === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar [03:58] The support is vastly better haha [03:59] MobileInsanity99: And ya got about 600 looking over our shoulders :) [03:59] lol [03:59] On mint I just got told my pc is dead [04:00] Which hopefully it isn't lol [04:00] MobileInsanity99: So far we know .,.. so good . [04:05] Bashing-om this install is damn fast. So should I boot straight into nomodeset again or try soft splash? [04:05] mike602: have tried the "select the best server" option on may be "repository & updates"? (could be even net neutrality issue) [04:06] Reset the router? [04:07] @pavlushka, yes I tried that and same result :( [04:07] MobileInsanity99: I do anticpate that nomodeset is set .. will at some point look and remove it .. see what you have at this time as to the system's functionality . [04:07] mike602: <bugbunny> Reset the router? [04:08] Sometimes routers can be finicky when left on for very long time [04:08] Since you are experiencing issues on two seperate machines [04:09] Yes, I reset my router as well, it doesn't seem to be an issue w/ my internet though as everything else is running really fast [04:09] I tried to lookup what is your issue exactly, I couldn't find it, what is the problem exactly? [04:10] @bugbunny, updating ubuntu 16.04.4 is very very slow and instalilng software as well. never had this issue before. [04:10] it freezes at "connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com" [04:11] Have you tried other mirrors? [04:11] Bashing-om okay booting. I have flickering purple and the ubuntu logo. No scrolling text through. So that's different [04:13] mike602: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-select-the-fastest-apt-mirror-on-ubuntu-linux [04:13] @bugbunny, I already tried other mirrors w/ same issue [04:14] What mirrors have you tried?

How long has it sat on this screen ? [04:17] I don't think it matters which is set. It just seems to be random whether or not it boots. This time I am in on quiet splash. Very fast boot Bashing-om [04:18] MobileInsanity99: If ya can boot, there will be a boot log we can look at . [04:23] MobileInsanity99: What machine is this by the way .. a laptop ? [04:23] Bashing-om, does this log help? https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/Mkeif~IgWMODt0fegLcRbQ [04:23] Yeah, sony vaio [04:26] I'm meant to be in uni in a few hours but been up all night trying to sort this, because I really need it working [04:28] insanity99: Ya got another hard drive in that machine " 0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt. " . [04:29] Bashing-om, huh...strange. Should only have the one HDD, and nothing in the usb [04:31] Bashing-om, https://imgur.com/a/KxOGJ [04:36] oon [04:45] insanity99: About a third through the system log . be a while yet reading .

Maybe that will help me learn all this command line stuff [06:08] insanity99: You are encourgaed to go to mint and relate the resolution . :P [06:08] xrandr output HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [06:09] Bashing-om, Great idea haha [06:09] !manual | insanity99 [06:09] insanity99: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [06:10] Yay, 141 pages. I love studying [06:11] !rute | insanity99 [06:11] insanity99: documentation is to be found at https://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/95-799/rute.pdf [06:16] xrandr output HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) , how to turn on external display ? [06:20] Thanks Bashing-om bookmarking this [06:21] insanity99: :) it gets as deep as you can stand it . [06:22] So can I try various desktop environments or will that mess up my system haha [06:23] insanity99: i'd try them in a vm [06:23] insanity99: Well, with the disk space you have ,,, sure . the problem is if you try and remove a DE . [06:24] also some stuff overlap, like lubuntu notification styles in unity [06:24] insanity99: as EriC^^ says is the better ... many times with multi DEs there is also the duplication of assestts . [06:25] Ahh ok. Got unity at the moment. Good for all the keyboard shortcuts [06:28] insanity99: Do not learn unity if you want to remain mainstream, ubuntu has now gone to gnome . [06:30] Ah, how do I get that then? I see a few variations of GNOME [06:32] insanity99: You will get it when upgrading to 18.04 real soon . === kenden is now known as Guest3411 [06:32] Big jump from 16 right? Bashing-om [06:35] insanity99: Lessen you are on the HWE stack of 16.04 .. I took it that you had installed 17.04 from the booting kernel . 16.04 is supported 'til 2021 . [06:37] Oh yeah I was told I'm best getting 16.04 over 17.10 [06:37] Is upgrading a big job? [06:38] insanity99: sudo apt-get install gnome. and in the login screen, you can choose it [06:38] insanity99: Upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04? That should be quite painless once 18.04.1 is released [06:38] Cool thanks guys [06:39] np. I'm currently on ubuntu 16.04 with gnome, if you have questions [06:39] insanity99, the more changes (esp. non-std sources) you make can make release-upgrading harder... also it needs disk-space (a hassle if a small partition) [06:41] Thanks I'll check it out [06:42] how to connect hp laptop to TV by using hdmi cable ? i am using ubuntu 14.04 lts [06:43] where is the configuration of the interface when we configure it during the installation [06:44] i can't find it under /etc/network/* [06:44] quit [06:44] s10gopal: plug hdmi, go to settings > display, also settings > sound [06:44] EriC^^, xrand : HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [06:45] EriC^^, i have already connected hdmi cable and also selected hdmi in tv but still no output [06:46] mic check [06:46] mkkk... netplan! thats new [06:46] s10gopal: anything in "dmesg" ? [06:46] s10gopal: try the button on the laptop maybe [06:46] F4 [06:48] EriC^^, dmesg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DyBkXWTskQ/ [06:48] , F4 not working too [06:50] s10gopal: cable problem maybe? [06:50] does it work on a different pc? [06:50] EriC^^, it works , and it is amazon basic cable [06:51] oh, no idea here [06:52] EriC^^, my laptop screen is 720P and lv is 1080 ? it can cause problem? [06:52] s10gopal: no i dont think so [06:54] s10gopal: try "udevadm monitor" [06:54] when you plug then unplug the hdmi does it say anything? [06:54] EriC^^, how? [06:54] s10gopal: it's a command === marve is now known as Guest82858 [06:55] EriC^^, it dont say anything [06:56] s10gopal: has hdmi ever worked on the laptop before? [06:56] EriC^^, yes on windows 10 [06:57] s10gopal: have you changed anything since? maybe there's a bios setting of some sort? [06:58] EriC^^, no [06:58] s10gopal: my hp laptop gives me some trouble sometimes with certain cable/tv, i need to unplug and plug it several times and sometimes press F4 to get it working [06:59] s10gopal: also make sure that hdmi1 or hdmi2 etc in the tv is selected properly [06:59] EriC^^, it only has one hdmi port [07:01] hello! i've got a supper weird problem since yesterday. my keyboard and mouse stopped responding shortly after boot, but usb is sending power to them and I can still access the machine via ssh. any ideas? 17.04 [07:01] d33tah: 17.04 is long eol [07:02] !eol [07:02] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [07:02] haloo [07:02] ducasse: 17.10, sorry [07:02] wie geht ihnen [07:02] d33tah, i would check your cable (ensure its connected correctly, and not just power pins) [07:02] guiverc: they work on a different PC [07:03] hm, i just tried different ports and keyboard came back... i'll try rebooting and see if it helps. weird, because dmesg says it finds the keyboard... [07:04] Right I have to go. Thanks again for all the help [07:04] what the hell... it works on one port but doesn't on other, but dmesg says pretty much the same stuff [07:05] and bios easily reads the keyboard on the old port === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [07:08] d33tah: does another usb device work in the 'bad' port? is one of the ports usb3 and the other usb2? [07:08] ducasse: actually i updated system, rebooted and the issue didn't reappear yet [07:08] so i didn't try [07:09] both were usb2 according to the color though [07:10] HDMI not working , xrandr output HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [07:12] Even I witnessed at least 2 ZFS updates for Ubuntu 17.10 in the past week or so, I STILL can NOT do 'zpool export rpool' for the pool on another partition... [07:12] It just stuck after issuing command and never finishes === cajhne_ is now known as cajhne [07:32] hey. i'm using xubuntu and after waking up the machine it tells me 'session is locked, you'll be redirected to the unlock dialog in a few seconds' or something along those lines. never happens. srlsy, wtf? [07:33] i was working on this box. [07:34] nopcode, do you have more than a single DEsktop on your machine? (or added another screensaver) [07:34] guiverc: i have two screens, but only one x server [07:35] 4 virtual desktops (each spanning both screens) [07:35] note it doesnt happen everytime only in 1/10 times or so [07:35] HDMI not working , xrandr output HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [07:35] nopcode, I'd switch to term, login and `ps -elf |grep creen` (or likewise) to list screensavers; if you have two running, `kill` them [07:35] guiverc: you mean if i encounter the issue again? [07:36] right now there is nothing [07:36] yep - it won't stop issue; just lets you login via gui. (don't know how to fix; never tried) [07:36] but yeah i think switching to a text console usually doesnt work either [07:37] i don't even know why it tells me that i'll be "redirected to the unlock dialog in a few seconds" [07:37] first there should be no redirection ; its a single locked session [07:37] second it shouldnt effing take _seconds_ [07:37] what year is it [07:38] nopcode, if you can't switch to term; its not what I've encountered (which was side-effect of multiple DEsktops added - exactly what you described; one unlocks the running session; the other can't unlock as its session isn't running) [07:39] guiverc: i'll keep that in mind [07:58] HDMI not working , xrandr output HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [07:59] it works on windows 10 [08:04]
