[01:42] <wojak> howdy
[01:42] <wojak> anyone on?
[01:43] <wojak> every time i close my laptop and open it again, the screen just goes black after i log in
[01:43] <wojak> the lock screen is fine, just after i log in
[01:43] <wojak> sometimes it opens wherever i left off after a couple minutes, but most of the time i end up having to restart the computer
[06:59] <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?
[07:02] <diogenes_> nine_pt, with live session
[07:04] <nine_pt> a live cd?
[07:04] <diogenes_> yes or usb
[07:06] <diogenes_> you can copy /usr/lib directly from usb live to your hdd root partition
[07:07] <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
[07:16] <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
[07:19] <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
[07:24] <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 ...
[07:32] <nine_pt> any way to change xubuntu to start on text console instead  the graphic user login?
[07:43] <elwooz> you can temporarily switch from desktop GUI to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6
[07:44] <elwooz> for
[07:44] <elwooz> Boot into Command-line Permanently: http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ubuntu-debian.html
[07:50] <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)
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <diogenes_> nine_pt, try to create a new user or simply move all the .files in your /home dir to another place
[08:47] <diogenes_> .files and .folders and re-log or reboot
[08:48] <nine_pt> my folder is encrypted and I need it that way ...
[12:12] <Andrei76> heya
[12:12] <Andrei76> have a nice day wherever you are
[12:43] <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.
[19:48] <nine_pt> my older isn't able to pass from lightdm login, enter authentication screen gests black and back to lightdm, but a new user (create a new one) can. Any tip on how to check what is causing the problem?
[19:50] <diogenes_> nine_pt, try remove .Xauthority
[19:52] <nine_pt> diogenes_: ok ... one more logout login ...
[19:53] <diogenes_> and .ICEauthority
[19:59] <nine_pt> diogenes_: more ideas?
[20:00] <nine_pt> didn't work ...
[20:00] <diogenes_> rename .config
[20:00] <nine_pt> diogenes_: all .config ?
[20:01] <diogenes_> yes .config.bak
[20:01] <nine_pt> give me a sec
[20:02] <nine_pt> continue to fail ...
[20:02] <diogenes_> then continue renaming .folders to .folder.bak and re-log
[20:03] <diogenes_> that's a long trial and fail path
[20:03] <diogenes_> start with .cache
[20:04] <nine_pt> bahh ....
[20:09] <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] <nine_pt> diogenes_: thanks for the time and patient
[20:10] <diogenes_> nine_pt, you're welcome.
