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