[02:12] <wblackstone> how removing snaps
[02:26] <bazhang> how did you install
[02:26] <bazhang> why not ask in #snappy
[11:06] <xfusr> hello
[11:07] <knome> hello
[11:07] <xfusr> can anyone else not boot after the latest updates?
[11:08] <knome> latest updates on what xubuntu version?
[11:08] <xfusr> 18.04.1
[11:09] <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?
[11:10] <xfusr> it puts me into tty1 whenever i boot
[11:10] <knome> can you login from there?
[11:12] <xfusr> yes, i can, but i can't switch to tty7
[11:12] <knome> ok
[11:13] <knome> when you've logged in, run "sudo service lightdm restart"
[11:13] <knome> what happens?
[11:15] <xfusr> nothing, still can't switch to tty7 and i am still stuck in tty
[11:16] <knome> no error message or output?
[11:16] <xfusr> nothing at all
[11:16] <knome> interesting
[11:16] <knome> flocculant, ping?
[11:17] <flocculant> knome: pong
[11:17] <knome> flocculant, any idea on what's happening with xfusr?
[11:17] <flocculant> was reading it
[11:18] <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 ;))
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <flocculant> not sure if I can help tbh - but I'll look
[11:24] <xfusr> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dW3jqFmrph/ here's xorg.0.log
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <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 ...
[11:27] <knome> i had one before my NUC, not too long ago...
[11:29] <xfusr> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/hjgCWGX9FB/ here's .xsession-errors
[11:30] <flocculant> would suspect the xorg.conf is the one to look at now we've seen the xorg log
[11:30] <knome> indeed
[11:31] <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
[11:36] <Babloyi> does thunar have no GUI way to set the executable bit?
[11:37] <Babloyi> I'm not finding the checkbox in Properties->Permissions
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <Babloyi> I had to set it executable in the terminal through chmod -x whatever
[11:47] <flocculant> right - not sure tbh
[11:48] <Babloyi> i.e. THUNAR SUXXXX :P
[11:57] <xfusr> flocculant: any ideas about my issue?
[11:57] <flocculant> xfusr: waiting to see the xorg.conf
[11:58] <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 :)
[11:59] <xfusr> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/mBKXFBGMtq/ here's xorg.conf
[12:00] <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
[12:02] <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
[12:05] <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
[12:06] <xfusr> i guess i'll have to find another fix to the tearing issue
[12:07] <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
[12:08] <flocculant> not going to be much more help than search google now - I'm sure you can do that :)
[12:09] <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
[12:26] <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
[12:50] <knome> xfusr, great to hear :)
[18:48] <wxl> what's the goto screenshot app for xubuntu, folks? screenshooter?
[18:49] <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 :)
[18:50] <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 :)
[18:51] <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 :)
