| xubuntu21w | hello, anyone else getting high memory usage on idle using the latest LTS? | 10:54 |

| AO- | .2 | 17:18 |
| AO- | hi, I'm trying to seutp xfce4 desktop and I can't seem to startx successfully | 17:19 |
| AO- | it keeps saying "xinit: connection to X server lost" | 17:19 |
| AO- | I get 2 odd warnings: "NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device for DPI calculation" and "NVIDIA(0): Option PrimaryGPU is not used" | 17:21 |
| GridCube | why are you setting up xfce4 for your self? | 17:27 |
| GridCube | xubuntu comes with xfce set up by itself | 17:27 |
| GridCube | you don't have to do anything | 17:27 |
| AO- | yea, I was trying to setup proper nvidia-driver | 17:28 |
| AO- | i may have fudged up everything | 17:28 |
| GridCube | mmm, i see, AO- you can reset your video drivers https://askubuntu.com/questions/159663/how-to-reset-the-xorg-xserver | 17:36 |
| AO- | oh, did I mention, I have no UI lol | 17:47 |
| GridCube | yes, you can just do that from a terminal | 17:47 |
| AO- | I opened it | 17:56 |
| AO- | tried doing that | 17:56 |
| AO- | didn't work | 17:56 |
| AO- | also, I found the .xsession-errors file | 17:56 |
| AO- | it's a lot of GTK_WARNING and GTK_CRITICAL messages, the message being mostly * failed to launch/create | 17:57 |
| AO- | then there's an interesting line about ICE and IO | 17:57 |
| AO- | i believe that is tied to a missing .ICEauthority file.. | 17:58 |
| GridCube | AO-: delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files and try to restart? | 18:07 |
| GridCube | but that would only be if you already have an X session running that they would affect anything (as they are tied to your user session) | 18:08 |
| AO- | I do not | 18:08 |
| AO- | xsession doesn't start, or I don't know how to start it.. :sweat_smile: | 18:08 |
| GridCube | startx? | 18:09 |
| AO- | nope, that ain't working | 18:09 |
| GridCube | try reinstalling xubuntu-core? | 18:09 |
| AO- | recently tried that.. broke .Xauthority hard.. had to rebuild it | 18:09 |
| AO- | I don't think I have an xubuntu-core | 18:09 |
| GridCube | sudo apt install xubuntu-core --reinstall | 18:09 |
| GridCube | or xubuntu-desktop | 18:10 |
| GridCube | any would do | 18:10 |
| GridCube | -core should pull less stuff if you already have most of it | 18:10 |
| AO- | nope, doesn't work | 18:23 |
| GridCube | AO-: you can just remove the xorg.conf file from /etc/X11 | 18:28 |
| GridCube | or try to re run nvidia-setting to create a new xorg.conf file | 18:28 |
| AO- | so, after that, startx still fails | 18:28 |
| AO- | okay | 18:29 |
| AO- | how-to? | 18:29 |
| GridCube | you shouldn't even try to run startx | 18:29 |
| GridCube | AO-: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2352893 | 18:31 |
