[10:54] <xubuntu21w> hello, anyone else getting high memory usage on idle using the latest LTS?
[17:18] <AO-> .2
[17:19] <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"
[17:21] <AO-> I get 2 odd warnings: "NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device for DPI calculation" and "NVIDIA(0): Option PrimaryGPU is not used"
[17:27] <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
[17:28] <AO-> yea, I was trying to setup proper nvidia-driver
[17:28] <AO-> i may have fudged up everything
[17:36] <GridCube> mmm, i see, AO- you can reset your video drivers https://askubuntu.com/questions/159663/how-to-reset-the-xorg-xserver
[17:47] <AO-> oh, did I mention, I have no UI lol
[17:47] <GridCube> yes, you can just do that from a terminal
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <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
[17:58] <AO-> i believe that is tied to a missing .ICEauthority file..
[18:07] <GridCube> AO-: delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files and try to restart?
[18:08] <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:
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <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
[18:23] <AO-> nope, doesn't work
[18:28] <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
[18:29] <AO-> okay
[18:29] <AO-> how-to?
[18:29] <GridCube> you shouldn't even try to run startx
