| bazhang | how did you install | 02:26 |
| bazhang | why not ask in #snappy | 02:26 |
| xfusr | hello | 11:06 |
| knome | hello | 11:07 |
| xfusr | can anyone else not boot after the latest updates? | 11:07 |
| knome | latest updates on what xubuntu version? | 11:08 |
| xfusr | 18.04.1 | 11:08 |
| knome | i don't have the same issue, but in what way does your system not boot, eg. where it hangs? | 11:09 |
| knome | is there any error message? | 11:09 |
| xfusr | it puts me into tty1 whenever i boot | 11:10 |
| knome | can you login from there? | 11:10 |
| xfusr | yes, i can, but i can't switch to tty7 | 11:12 |
| knome | ok | 11:12 |
| knome | when you've logged in, run "sudo service lightdm restart" | 11:13 |
| knome | what happens? | 11:13 |
| xfusr | nothing, still can't switch to tty7 and i am still stuck in tty | 11:15 |
| knome | no error message or output? | 11:16 |
| xfusr | nothing at all | 11:16 |
| knome | interesting | 11:16 |
| knome | flocculant, ping? | 11:16 |
| flocculant | knome: pong | 11:17 |
| knome | flocculant, any idea on what's happening with xfusr? | 11:17 |
| flocculant | was reading it | 11:17 |
| knome | i'm fortunate enough to not have had these kinds of black walls in ages... | 11:18 |
| flocculant | I've just today reinstalled 18.04.1 and it was fine updating | 11:18 |
| knome | (and i don't use non-intel ;)) | 11:18 |
| flocculant | xfusr: from vt1 you should be able to pastebin things for others to look at so, pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log and let us have the url | 11:20 |
| flocculant | and then try pastebinit .xsession-errors | 11:20 |
| xfusr | okay, give me a moment | 11:20 |
| flocculant | not sure if I can help tbh - but I'll look | 11:21 |
| xfusr | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dW3jqFmrph/ here's xorg.0.log | 11:24 |
| knome | xfusr, also pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:25 |
| knome | because clearly X thinks it's faulty and apparently that's why it fails | 11:25 |
| xfusr | working on it | 11:26 |
| knome | no rush | 11:26 |
| knome | (though i have to leave in 20ish) | 11:26 |
| flocculant | long time since I've seen a xorg.conf ... | 11:26 |
| knome | i had one before my NUC, not too long ago... | 11:27 |
| xfusr | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/hjgCWGX9FB/ here's .xsession-errors | 11:29 |
| flocculant | would suspect the xorg.conf is the one to look at now we've seen the xorg log | 11:30 |
| knome | indeed | 11:30 |
| knome | and the potential solution is to just try renaming it to something else and see if the system boots | 11:31 |
| knome | but let's see what it has eaten first | 11:31 |
| knome | (tbh, that's what X should probably try to do anyway if there was a parsing error...) | 11:31 |
| knome | i mean, imo | 11:31 |
| Babloyi | does thunar have no GUI way to set the executable bit? | 11:36 |
| Babloyi | I'm not finding the checkbox in Properties->Permissions | 11:37 |
| flocculant | Babloyi: it does if the file you're looking at is something you can execute | 11:46 |
| Babloyi | I have a jar file, and it doesn't show that | 11:46 |
| Babloyi | I had to set it executable in the terminal through chmod -x whatever | 11:47 |
| flocculant | right - not sure tbh | 11:47 |
| Babloyi | i.e. THUNAR SUXXXX :P | 11:48 |
| xfusr | flocculant: any ideas about my issue? | 11:57 |
| flocculant | xfusr: waiting to see the xorg.conf | 11:57 |
| flocculant | pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:58 |
| xfusr | oh, sorry | 11:58 |
| flocculant | because that appears to be where the issue is - you must have missed knome asking for it :) | 11:58 |
| xfusr | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/mBKXFBGMtq/ here's xorg.conf | 11:59 |
| flocculant | and you're using a xorg.conf because? | 12:00 |
| xfusr | to eliminate screen tearing | 12:00 |
| xfusr | i've used it before on 16.xx and 17.xx with no problems | 12:00 |
| flocculant | ok - well let's try and get you booted first, rename xorg.conf, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/.xorg.conf | 12:02 |
| flocculant | right - and was it working ok for 18.04? | 12:02 |
| xfusr | yes, it was working fine | 12:02 |
| flocculant | mmk | 12:02 |
| flocculant | rename it and reboot | 12:02 |
| flocculant | I'm running out of time here - knome will be back at some point - and he's using Intel so might have more clue now | 12:05 |
| xfusr | ok, it's working now | 12:05 |
| xfusr | the pc booted | 12:05 |
| flocculant | ok - that's good | 12:05 |
| xfusr | i guess i'll have to find another fix to the tearing issue | 12:06 |
| xfusr | thank you for your help :) | 12:07 |
| flocculant | no problem | 12:07 |
| flocculant | the arch wiki shows more or less what you had - just not sna | 12:07 |
| flocculant | not going to be much more help than search google now - I'm sure you can do that :) | 12:08 |
| xfusr | yeah, i'll play around with the config file and see what works | 12:09 |
| flocculant | yup - good luck :) | 12:09 |
| xfusr | thanks :) | 12:09 |
| flocculant | let me know if you get it - I'll make some notes for next time | 12:09 |
| xfusr | i got it fixed by creating a new config file instead of editing xorg.conf directly: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 12:26 |
| knome | xfusr, great to hear :) | 12:50 |
| wxl | what's the goto screenshot app for xubuntu, folks? screenshooter? | 18:48 |
| diogenes_ | wxl, ls /usr/bin | grep screen | 18:49 |
| wxl | diogenes_: that's not the answer to the question i asked | 18:49 |
| flocculant | wxl: xfce4-screenshooter | 18:49 |
| wxl | flocculant: thank you :) | 18:49 |
| diogenes_ | wxl, that will show you the exact name also that's a tip how to find it in different DEs too | 18:50 |
| flocculant | wxl: no problem :) | 18:50 |
| flocculant | wxl: you could have asked us in -devel or the one we all hang about in ;) | 18:51 |
| wxl | flocculant: ah, it's fine. figured i'd get a quicker answer to so simple a question :) | 18:51 |
