=== The_Milkman_ is now known as The_Milkman [03:45] Boa noite! Por favor, alguém pode me dar uma resposta... Porque minhas imagens .iso estão dobrando de tamanho assim que termino meus downloads? [03:46] aconteceu 4 vezes... [03:47] baixei as .iso e assim que abri o usb-creator para gravá-las no pendrive, notei que todas elas tinha dobrado de tamanho.

[05:22] I can't figure out for the life of me how to change the password for the alpine password file [05:25] acoustyk: does this not work? https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Changing_passwords_for_ACF [05:25] other than that - no clue I'm afraid [12:06] hello [12:07] hope everyone is ok. i am looking for a little help with a computer i just put xubuntu on.. after apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, the desktop doesn't show up. the screen flashes 8/9 times and i get a flashing cursor [12:08] i have been trying various google searches but i can't figure out the cause [12:08] i can get terminal up with ctrl+alt+f1 [12:10] anyone?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:13] hello aaron_, maybe it's some kind of graphics card driver issue? what are you using? [12:13] Hi Spass. lspci shows "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" [12:14] not sure where the config file if for x to see what driver it's using [12:14] aaron_, sudo lscpi -nnk | grep VGA -A3 [12:14] sorry wrong [12:15] sudo lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 [12:15] that one ^^ [12:15] aaron_, did you try booting from an older kernel from the grub menu? [12:16] no, not yet.. [12:16] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2e32] (rev 03) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [103c:2a9d] Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 [12:16] press any key on boot? [12:19] trying to get the boot menu [12:24] aaron_, try holding Shift at boot [12:24] ty [12:28] typed reboot in the wrong console... [12:28] ok, grub doesn't give me the option of booting different kernels so i'm guessing that means it hasn't been upgraded. [12:29] aaron__, tried advanced boot options in grub? [12:32] wow took a few reboots to get back in. your correct there is a previous version [12:34] okay. booted that previous kernel and the issue remains the same :( [12:34] and i still don't know what issue you are facing [12:36] apologies; installed xubuntu onto a hp desktop yesterday. all was fine initially. after running the updates and rebooting, xubuntu splash is shown then some screen flashing and the desktop does not load. I can switch to console using ctrl+alt+f1. I have tried reinstalling the lightdm package, a few suggestions from google but haven't found the fix yet [12:39] aaron__, try this: sudo nano /usr/share/xsessions/xubuntu.desktop [12:39] find the line: Exec=startxfce4 [12:39] change it to: Exec=xterm [12:39] reboot, after you reboot you (most likely) will be met with a terminal window [12:40] there you type in: startxfce4 [12:40] and notice what errors you gonna get in the terminal [12:42] i did that. still have the same issue where the screen flashes a few times then flashing cursor [12:43] have to switch to CLI with ctrl+alt+f1 [12:44] if i type startxfce4 at the prompt i see (EE) server terminated with error 1 [12:46] then try when you boot, in the grub menu on the first option you hit "e" and there you find the line: linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-23-generic root=UUID=8....... you need to remove quiet splash, then press ctrl+x and boot [12:46] and notice the last 3-4 line when it hangs [12:50] so when machine boots it still tries to go into gui so i don't get to see the error. will try it again just in case.. [12:57] @diogenes hi. i see no scrolling text even with quiet splash removed. also don't see a splash screen. [12:57] aaron_, do you have auto login enabled on your machine? or did you always had to enter your password on boot? [12:58] i only just installed it i believe it's auto logging in. not 100% [12:59] whatever default is on the latest image on the website... [13:01] you can see it using this command "cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf", is there "autologin-user=your_name" line there? [13:02] I'm asking because I'm curious if that blinking screen issue occurs on lightdm screen or after that, on a desktop [13:02] aaron@Wolfy:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf cat: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: No such file or directory aaron@Wolfy:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/ lightdm.conf.d/ lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf users.conf aaron@Wolfy:~$ ls /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ aaron@Wolfy:~$ [13:03] i don't see that .conf file.. [13:04] ok, so probably no autologin, in that case you have an issue on the lightdm screen [13:05] :-/ [13:09] well, I would personally probably try to enable autologin and try if it changes something, but I don't think it would get you to the desktop... [13:11] can you suggest an alternative to lightdm that might get me going again? gdm is not in apt's sources [13:12] i feel like I tried everything here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM [13:12] if you want to give it a try "sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" and put this over there - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sSFDDKfFgT/ [13:12] sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm doesn't show a menu it just returns to the prompt [13:12] replacing "your_name" [13:14] and sudo service lightdm restart? [13:14] save, and reboot your machine [13:15] and I don't know if you wrote that before, probably yes, but what happens when you switch to the console, log in to your account and type "startx"? [13:15] interesting no flashy screen now [13:16] i have the prompt [13:17] ok if i startx in that console (guess that is running inside X) i see "only console users are allowed to run the X server" [13:17] sudo !! ? [13:18] worked :) [13:19] sudo shouldn't be required for that I think [13:20] shall i change xubuntu.desktop back and reboot? [13:21] if it works with autologin i will be happy with that [13:21] so with "sudo startx" you managed to get to the desktop? [13:21] yes [13:22] i didn't have permission as me [13:23] ok, try to create a new user now in the "users-admin" tool [13:24] make that user auto-login by changing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf line "autologin-user=that_new_user" [13:25] reboot and see if it will get you directly to the desktop with that new user [13:25] "Users Settings" tool is not loading [13:26] aaron@Wolfy:~$ users-admin Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (users-admin:1497): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:25:52.574: cannot open display: [13:26] also with sudo [13:26] Alt+F2 -> users-admin doesn't work? you're still on the desktop right? [13:27] it's a GUI tool [13:28] yes the window loaded but i see a spinning wheel [13:30] restarting [13:31] ok, so add the new user in the console, don't start x [13:31] ok now it's just flashing in a loop! [13:33] switch to the console Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in, "sudo adduser testuser" then "sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" and "autologin-user=testuser", save reboot [13:34] having to boot into recovery mode as regular boot does not allow me to switch consoles while the screen is flashing [13:35] question... is a complete reinstall an option for you? :) do you have some files already on that system or is it completely fresh? [13:35] fairly fresh actually i think it took me about 2 hours to set up yesterday.. [13:36] i tried dpkg repair broken packages and it tried to download something but failed. my wireless doesn't kick in until I'm logged in? :( [13:39] okie-dokie. looks like i know what i'm doing next .. i hope it fixes it. [13:40] that makes things even worse, you may stay in the channel for a bit, maybe someone more knowledgable than me will propose some solutions [13:40] but if reinstalling lightdm did nothing, you don't have internet access to install additional packages, it will be hard probably [13:41] maybe reconfiguring xorg is an option [13:41] at the moment it's broken lol - i don't know how to get back to a command line [13:42] :/ [13:42] i know, right! [13:43] it's all good. i'm learning. linux has a steep curve.. [13:44] thanks for trying to help me [13:45] the recovery menu might still help - i'n having a go [13:45] sorry for that, my suggestions could be a part of what break your system completely, but I hope not [13:45] they weren't that invasive, I think [13:46] they seemed fair enough.. [13:47] i have a prompt.. [13:50] try to ping google ;) "ping google.com -c 5" [13:52] think i'll try the reinstall.. [18:23] Hello, I've just installed xubuntu for the first time and i'm having a few issues with the trackpad. [18:23] It works, however if i try to disable it with the fn + f5 it disables for a few seconds, then enables itself again [18:24] Clicking also enables it immediately. [18:24] Googleing has been in-effective. I'm not sure how to describe the problem to the search engine [18:24] I have tried using xinput but i am unable to re-enable the trackpad after that. [18:24] synclient works the same as the fn + f5 button [18:25] any suggestions? [18:25] ( This key combination worked in ubuntu Mate ) [18:31] Briggse, why you want to disable it? [18:31] !synaptics [18:31] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [18:31] Briggse: ^ [18:32] @diogenes When i type, my wrist bumps it and moves the mouse around and such. I also use the nub on the keyboard more often [18:33] GridCube I'll check it out, thanks [18:33] there is a setting on synaptics that disables the touchpad for a little while after pressing a key on the keyboard [18:33] so it doesn't activates while typing [18:33] That might be conflicting with the script i had set up actually [18:34] I wonder if it turns it on automatically after two seconds. I do have that set [18:34] no idea how that works though, it's been ages since i touched a touchpad capable computar [18:36] GridCube, thanks, that was the issue afterall [18:36] :D [18:36] diogenes_ another reason i disable it is because my mouse will float sometimes when it is enabled. But i would like the ability to toggle so my girlfriend can use it if needed [18:36] Really appreciate it guys! [18:38] Briggse, so you solved your issue? [18:56] diogenes_ yes, i did!
