[00:00] no, that's a script, not the config. by default /etc/sddm.conf does not exist as not needed [00:01] scott__: If the sddm greeter crashes, then there must be some error message in the sddm log. did you give the full log of the sddm greeter previously or a partial one? [00:02] acheronuk: ok [00:02] /etc/sddm.conf will get created if you change setting, like set autologin [00:02] ok [00:03] acheronuk: which process creates the .xauthority file? xserver? [00:04] scott__: can you paste the log once again using this command. journalctl -u sddm.service [00:04] acheronuk: and journalctl -u sddm.service is by default verbose? [00:07] acheronuk: scott__ check this out https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/295#event-184014278 [00:09] scott__: is sddm service enabled? [00:18] sorry, was getting kids ready for bed [00:20] https://pastebin.com/Q0U8azNH [00:21] scott__: can you paste the output of the following command "sudo journalctl -xn" [00:23] Here is the output to sudo journalctl -xn: https://pastebin.com/MDiUMAJm [00:27] scott__: I think you are copying the log improperly [00:28] scott__: how did you get that log? [00:28] oh sorry let me try again. I didn't have konsole maximized [00:28] scott__: no try piping to a text file [00:28] sudo journalctl -xn > textfile.txt [00:29] scott__: like "sudo journalctl -xn > thelog.txt" then paste the content of the thelog.txt file here [00:30] Fritigern: just saw it :) [00:30] Um, best paste the contents of thelog.txt to pastebin... [00:31] try this https://pastebin.com/7SeQ9mtz [00:34] scott__: run the following command and see if you see "active" in the message "sudo systemctl status sddm" [00:35] it is active [00:35] scott__: and says running? [00:36] phoenix_firebrd: Hi. I just wrote the iso in the pendrive but in the boot option menu when selecting the USB it takes me to Kubuntu, not the the Windows installation [00:37] (with Rosa ImageWriter) [00:37] Esteban16: you need to use a windows system and use the rufus application to prepare the windows iso. preparing a windows iso in linux is difficut [00:37] *difficult [00:38] it does say it's running. Here's the pastebin if you need/want it: https://pastebin.com/f78e6iDA [00:39] phoenix_firebrd: Ok, I will prepare the iso in a Windows PC and then use the pendrive in Linux. Is it okay? [00:39] scott__: are you using a wayland session? [00:40] how can I check that? [00:40] scott__: can you restart and then run the command "sudo systemctl start sddm" instead of startx and see if you get errors? [00:41] scott__: using top [00:42] scott__: if you see any process like xwayland then you might be using wayland [00:42] according to top I'm using xorg [00:42] scott__: ok [00:42] scott__: can you restart and then run the command "sudo systemctl start sddm" instead of startx and see if you get errors? [00:42] sure brb [00:42] ok [00:43] phoenix_firebrd: Hey! [00:43] Esteban16: hi [00:44] │19:39:13 Esteban16 | phoenix_firebrd: Ok, I will prepare the iso in a Windows PC and then use the pendrive in Linux. Is it okay? [00:44] Esteban16: after preparing the pendrive what are going to do with it in linux? [00:45] phoenix_firebrd: Here is ksysguard with the new sensors tab I added. I didn't need to install lm-sensors at all. =) https://i.imgur.com/vCtihwt.png [00:45] phoenix_firebrd: To install Windows and remove Kubuntu. Sadly Linux is not for me [00:45] phoenix_firebrd: Keepin it clean and mean. No need for extra cruft. =) kubuntu is serious business. [00:46] I added the "TEMPS" tab. [00:46] BionicMac: what is that application? [00:46] ksysguard "System MOnitor" === scott_ is now known as Guest68780 [00:46] BionicMac: I think I have used that way back [00:47] It's part of default Plasma/Kde Kubuntu install. [00:47] BionicMac: how did you get the temp tab? [00:47] phoenix_firebrd: I didn't write that command down. What do I type after I reboot? lol [00:47] it's scott btw [00:48] Esteban16: then go ahead and backup your data and then boot into your pendrive directly and then install windows [00:48] phoenix_firebrd: "Settings/Show Toolbar" -> Then on the now visible toolbar "New Tab" [00:49] Esteban16: using linux takes a little bit of getting to know the preliminary infos, but it is the future [00:49] There is another way without showing the toolbar, of course you can hide it when finished working with tabs. [00:50] Guest68780: did you run the command startx? [00:50] phoenix_firebrd: That's what I wanted to do :) but you just told me that preparing Windows isos in Linux is difficult, so I'll prepare in a Windows computer and do the rest. [00:50] I think it was sudo systemctl something sddm [00:50] *prepare it [00:50] phoenix_firebrd: 'ksysguard' supports remote monitoring also. [00:50] scott__: can you restart and then run the command "sudo systemctl start sddm" instead of startx and see if you get errors? [00:50] Guest68780: ^ [00:50] I had to, because I forgot what you said to type, and of course i didn't think to write it down [00:50] ok thanks [00:51] oh hey i did type that [00:51] nothing happened [00:51] or at least nothing appeared to happen [00:51] Again, thank you for your help phoenix_firebrd. Hope this time works [00:51] Esteban16: Good luck man. [00:51] Esteban16: wait [00:52] Ok! [00:52] Esteban16: if you are familiar with virtualbox, you could install reactos, mount the usb pendrive and then use rufus to write the iso in it [00:53] Esteban16: but ofcorse you need to be familiar with virtualbox or vmware [00:54] BionicMac: are you on 18.04? [00:54] Unfortunately I just used Virtualbox to install Windows (and that's not enough). I'm not familiar with it. [00:56] phoenix_firebrd: yes. last nights buildd. [00:56] BionicMac: I just got that tab, I installed from the gethotnewstuff dialog [00:57] phoenix_firebrd: I just took the "Feature Tour" . Where is the gethotnewstuff? [00:57] phoenix_firebrd: you downloaded a ready made tab? I made minee from scratch. I didn't know you could do that. [00:59] phoenix_firebrd: ok, I found hotnewstuff... [01:00] phoenix_firebrd: You downloaded "Temperature (lmsensors)" from gethotnewstuff ? [01:01] phoenix_firebrd: How about a screenshot of your new tab? =) [01:03] phoenix_firebrd: try "super+up-arrow" when focused on a window. [01:04] super+any-arrow =) [01:09] BionicMac: https://imgur.com/a/xmmGy [01:11] feeling sleepy [01:11] phoenix_firebrd: nice. They must use the lmsenors integratde into the ksysguard. When I added my temp tab I ket seeing lmsensors verbage from time to time in the process. [01:12] phoenix_firebrd: getting blurry eyed here also. [01:14] hope the upcoming version is without any problematic bugs. I will try testing the betas later and check [01:16] Esteban16: sorry couldnt help you further, may be someone else will help you. But strictly support for creating a windows boot usb is not given here [01:16] I am off to bed, good night all [01:17] phoenix_firebrd: you mean the daily builds? Or the final release? If you need help testing let me know what I can do to help please. I don't mind setting aside a partition to reinstall frequently onto. [01:17] goodnight phoenix_firebrd thanks for your help [01:17] night, and let me know. Thanks again for all the help. Let me know how I can help test for the community. [01:18] BionicMac: Guest68780 yw === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar [04:12] BionicMac: we will need testers next week for the beta2 candidate [04:12] not sure what day the ISOs will be spun [05:22] valorie: I would be glad to test Kubuntu 18.04 Beta2. I have a partition ready to go on this iMac. I can pm you my email if you wish. [05:22] are you on the Kubuntu-devel ML or -users? [05:22] I'm getting a story ready for the website [05:22] I don't need your mail [05:23] set yourself up on the qatracker [05:23] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker [05:23] get a login, read some of the help text, etc. [05:29] valorie: Great. On the way to the qatracker now... [05:29] Oh! more updates on Kubuntu. [05:29] you can ask questions about it here, or /j #kubuntu-devel [05:30] ok joining devel now. [05:35] valorie: I am not on either ML. I will register on Kubuntu-devel and -users. [05:36] it's good to have people on -users who can answer questions [05:36] some are basic, some are head-scratchers [05:37] -devel is devel stuff rather than questions [05:37] noted. [05:39] Oh... more Kubuntu updates since 30 minutes ago. 4 more right now: all related to *plymouth* [05:41] I like Muon. It is the first GuiFied 'apt' frontend I feel cozy with for some reason. I just like it. =) [05:43] I'm up to stuff fully up to date. [05:44] Killer default Icons on Kubuntu. I really love the default theme/Icons/Look&Feel/etc.. etc... in 18.04.. [06:21] you'll be not at all surprised by beta2 then [06:21] but we need the installer and installation process as a whole tested too [06:21] in fact, that's the main test [06:23] valorie: Ok. Sounds great. [06:24] valorie: Done and done. both ML & qatracker. [06:24] you'll be able to just zsync your beta 1 ISO [06:25] Ok. I have the beta 1 iso from 3-29. [06:25] http://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2018/01/seeding-new-isos-easy-zsync-way.html [06:26] check... on it.
