| nine_pt | a mistake was made and I remove /usr/lib/ after some tweaking my pc start but xubuntu do not show my login screen and do not let me access to any other workspace (ctr-alt-f1..f6). Any method to disable xubuntu startx and go to console mode? | 06:59 |
| diogenes_ | nine_pt, with live session | 07:02 |
| nine_pt | a live cd? | 07:04 |
| diogenes_ | yes or usb | 07:04 |
| diogenes_ | you can copy /usr/lib directly from usb live to your hdd root partition | 07:06 |
| nine_pt | I did that, and after run a script https://askubuntu.com/questions/272729/accidently-deleted-usr-lib-how-do-i-restore-it but xfce don't show login screen and don't allow to change workspace | 07:07 |
| diogenes_ | nine_pt, then you boot from live session usb/dvd and modify the Exec=startxfce4 to Exec=xterm in /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop or /usr/share/xsessions/xubuntu.desktop | 07:16 |
| diogenes_ | or both | 07:16 |
| nine_pt | diogenes_: thanks, I will try that in a minute, my home partition is encrypted, I am trying to mount it and do a backup, if in case I can't start xfce I will clena and install again | 07:19 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 07:19 |
| nine_pt | didn't work ... I replaced on both files and the screen gets black, it appears the mouse cursor and get black ... ang kepts this way forever. I am not able to reach to menu to do a login ... | 07:24 |
| nine_pt | any way to change xubuntu to start on text console instead the graphic user login? | 07:32 |
| elwooz | you can temporarily switch from desktop GUI to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 | 07:43 |
| elwooz | for | 07:44 |
| elwooz | Boot into Command-line Permanently: http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ubuntu-debian.html | 07:44 |
| nine_pt | changed the runlevel to 3 and I was able to boot. When executing statxfce4 it fails with parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied) | 07:50 |
| nine_pt | diogenes_: parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied) have any meaning to you? I am not able to startxfce4 with my user but it works with root | 08:45 |
| diogenes_ | nine_pt, try to create a new user or simply move all the .files in your /home dir to another place | 08:46 |
| diogenes_ | .files and .folders and re-log or reboot | 08:47 |
| nine_pt | my folder is encrypted and I need it that way ... | 08:48 |

| MNDudek | Diogenes_, I plugged in an Ext4 thumbdrive, and it copies fine, a bit slower (that may be due to the drive itself), but it was a constant flow of data, no pauses. Thanks for your time and your help, I'll continue to experiement. | 12:43 |

| nine_pt | didn't work ... | 20:00 |
| diogenes_ | rename .config | 20:00 |
| nine_pt | diogenes_: all .config ? | 20:00 |
| diogenes_ | yes .config.bak | 20:01 |
| nine_pt | give me a sec | 20:01 |
| nine_pt | continue to fail ... | 20:02 |
| diogenes_ | then continue renaming .folders to .folder.bak and re-log | 20:02 |
| diogenes_ | that's a long trial and fail path | 20:03 |
| diogenes_ | start with .cache | 20:03 |
| nine_pt | bahh .... | 20:04 |
| nine_pt | ok, so after looing into .xsession-erros, should have done this some time ago ... file .ICEauthority was with was with root permissions | 20:09 |
