| nikolam | I observer many bugs in Xubuntu 19.04 but this is the strangest bug thus far.. | 06:09 |
|---|---|---|
| nikolam | I can not move icon to lower left part of the screen.. | 06:09 |
| nikolam | But on the lower right part of the screen it is ok..? | 06:09 |
| nikolam | also the positions where I can not move icons are not limited by square area.. but more ireggular at the center... | 06:11 |
| nikolam | Really weird.. | 06:11 |
| nikolam | Also I have another monitor plugged in, but it is small CRT so I keep it as disabled/not user in Display properties.. | 06:12 |
| nikolam | when I turn on the second screen, problem with icon placing is also visible there but ir also smaller area of the screen because it is smaller resolution monitor | 06:14 |
| nikolam | It behaves like when moving an icon with the left mouse, suddenly icon gets dropped on last position in the grid and cursor keeps moving, like it is doing selection | 06:15 |
| nikolam | e.g. problem with moving is problem with deselecting moving object and clicking on it's place on the blank screen. | 06:16 |
| nikolam | and in some parts of the screen | 06:16 |
| nikolam | Anyone can reproduce this (I am on Radeon 7850 and it's graphics drivers form ubuntu if that matters. | 06:17 |
| Gayathri | Hi | 08:22 |
| Gayathri | After the latest update, dock is missing and also menus and dialogs look different | 08:23 |
| Gayathri | Could you please me in getting the dock back and switching to the previous layout | 08:23 |
| Gusj | Hello there, I am new to linux, used it many years ago and now trying to come back to it.. I installed Ubuntustudio on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. The laptop keyboard and trackpad do not work, I am using a USB mouse that does work, but a USB keyboard only works sometimes, sometimes it recognizes it sometimes no.things I have tried: uninstalled and reinstalled xserver-xorg-input-all, I have turned off autosuspend it is -1 now.. when it is booting I | 14:55 |
| Gusj | can see: " i8042: can’t reactivate aux port" the USB KYBRD I could see showed up in the app 'Mouse and Trackpad' sometimes, it would disconnect by itself can somebody please help me? would really appreciate it… | 14:55 |
| Gusj | IT recognizes the usb mouse right away, when I plug and unplug it but not the USB keyboard, I was advised to ask here form the #ubuntustudio channel since we share same desktop.. | 15:09 |
| GridCube | weird | 15:16 |
| GridCube | Gusj: could you try something like: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all --reinstall | 15:17 |
| GridCube | according to this thread it might solve your problem https://askubuntu.com/questions/688445/laptop-keyboard-stopped-working | 15:18 |
| Gusj | yes very weired, works for a little bit, then does not.. in the app 'Mouse and Trackpad" in the GUI I can see it when it recognizes it and then when it is gone | 15:18 |
| Gusj | Let me try your suggestion Gridcube now.. | 15:18 |
| Gusj | ok did your sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all --reinstall, updating now and rebooting | 15:20 |
| Gusj | Tried it and the same result... the usb mouse works great, I unplug and plug it back in and I can see it in 'Mouse and Trackpad" but not the usb keyboard, the laptop keyboard has never worked, but the trackpad and laptop keyboard do work in the bios a | 15:26 |
| GridCube | mmm, maybe you need to purge the old version of the application as the thread suggests https://askubuntu.com/questions/688445/laptop-keyboard-stopped-working | 15:27 |
| Gusj | Yes I have already tried that before.. the uninstall and install.. I had seen that link before and tried it without resul :( | 15:29 |
| Gusj | let me try it one more time to see.. | 15:30 |
| GridCube | is it possible that your touchpad/keyboard are blocking each other in the accesibility options? like for example i know that touchpads can block if you press letters so you don't accidentally move the cursor while typing | 15:31 |
| GridCube | is it possible that your keyboard has a FN key that blocks itself? | 15:33 |
| Gusj | The laptop keyboard has an FN but the USB does not.. how can I check if they are blocking each other? | 15:33 |
| Gusj | the laptop keyboard is like frozen, for example with the light on num lock permanently on... only happens inside os, not in bios.. | 15:34 |
| Gusj | rebooted same result | 15:34 |
| GridCube | does it happen in ttys? | 15:34 |
| GridCube | like can you type properly on a tty? | 15:34 |
| Gusj | in the terminal you mean? sry new here.. | 15:34 |
| GridCube | tty1 to 6 are accesible if you press ctrl-alt-F1 to F6 | 15:35 |
| GridCube | ctrl-alt-F7 will take you to the current xorg session | 15:35 |
| GridCube | so if the usb keyboard works try pressing ctrl-alt-F1 and see if you can type properly in TTY1 | 15:36 |
| Gusj | it is not working at the moment can i do that with the onscreen keyboard? | 15:36 |
| GridCube | maybe? | 15:37 |
| GridCube | i never tried | 15:37 |
| GridCube | i don't know how you could go back to TTY7 if the keyboard doesnt work tho, because you have to type ctrl-alt-F7... wait you can just reboot | 15:37 |
| Gusj | can't do it with the on board keyboard.. | 15:38 |
| Gusj | How cna I try that while rebooting? | 15:38 |
| GridCube | just press ctrl-alt-F1 | 15:39 |
| Gusj | while it is booting during the logo? | 15:39 |
| GridCube | or choose recovery mode on grub | 15:39 |
| GridCube | that would just take you to TTY1 and not load x | 15:39 |
| Gusj | ahhh ok will try recovery mode on grub one sec.. | 15:39 |
| Gusj | got it will do it now thank you | 15:39 |
| Gusj | now when I hit escape for the grub menu and select advanced options for ubuntu, nothing happens screen black with Grub Boot Menu on top and the commands at the bottom | 15:49 |
| Gusj | Ok i made it into the recovery menu (filesystem state: read-only), which option should I choose? | 15:56 |
| Gusj | there is, resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary | 15:56 |
| Gusj | @Grid | 15:57 |
| Gusj | can't choose anything the cursor does not move at this point.. | 15:58 |
| Gusj | stuck, what I have noticed is that while booting loading up it says: 'i8042: can’t reactivate aux port" I think this has to do with that | 16:20 |
| Gusj | with the keyboard not working | 16:21 |
| Gusj | how could I try to load it manually on the command line? I think that might be something to try but do not know how.. | 16:25 |
| GridCube | Gusj: does the keyboard work on recovery mode? | 16:32 |
| GridCube | if it does then your problem starts with xorg, if it doesn't then you have a different level problem | 16:32 |
| GridCube | Gusj: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=793348&sid=eabb3744d31bd214b2953400247a567d#p793348 | 16:33 |
| Gusj | no, it did not work in recovery mode, i think it is related to "i8042: can’t reactivate aux port" that i see while loading? | 16:35 |
| Gusj | let me check out your link, how can I include your nick here like you include mine? here in the channel chat I mean.. | 16:35 |
| GridCube | Gusj: just type gr and press tab | 16:36 |
| Gusj | GridCube: when you say a different level of problem, do you mean hardware? if keyboard does not work in recovery mode? | 17:28 |
| GridCube | Gusj: maybe, but you said BIOS does recognize the kb so that would discard the hardware level | 17:34 |
| GridCube | so it's probably between the bios/efi level and the xorg level, which i think is level 6? don't quote me on that | 17:35 |
| Gusj | GridCube: yes of course, it is crazy, the laptop keyboard and the touchpad BOTH WORK in the bios... | 17:35 |
| GridCube | that last link i pasted shows how to configure grub to recognize the i8042 thingies | 17:36 |
| Gusj | I tried booting on CSM and same thing happened, now tried another light distribution and in the install, LUBUNTU the same thing, laptop keyboard frozen | 17:36 |
| GridCube | so i would think that grub is not loading the proper controllers for the devices? | 17:36 |
| Gusj | GridCube: yes I understand.. will try that on the test distribution to see if it works, already wiped the harddrive to try and install lubuntu | 17:39 |
| GridCube | if lubuntu is having the same problem try the same solution | 17:39 |
| GridCube | at the level it is it wouldn't matter which desktop flavour you choose | 17:40 |
| GridCube | underneath all distros share the same infrastructure | 17:40 |
| GridCube | i meant ubuntu-flavors share the same infrastructure, not all distros | 17:41 |
| Gusj | Ahh got it... yes, going to have to include in a txt file the commands needed to connect to wifi, and download the onscreen keyboard, lubuntu does not have it by default i have read | 17:41 |

| uski | Hi there. My xserver starts, but when I try to login, it crashes and I'm redirected back to the login screen. I tried turning off the lightdm service and running "startx" from the command line, but the same thing happens. Any idea where to look at ? The Xorg.0.log file does not show any error, it just says that the X server closed gracefully... but I don't know why it closed in the first place. Any idea ? | 23:03 |
| Bashing-om | uski: At the login screen can you activate a virtual terminal - key combo ctl+alt+F2 ? | 23:05 |
| uski | Bashing-om, yes, that's where i tried starttx after shutting down lightdm | 23:12 |
| uski | It was an older 18.10 install (up to date), which I upgraded to the latest version after the problem appeared, but it did not help (do-release-upgrade) | 23:13 |
| uski | I didn't do anything special so I was expecting to see a huge amount of people affected, but it turns out it does not seem to be such a common problem after a bit of research and I don't know where to look | 23:14 |
| Bashing-om | uski: Likely broken graphics driver - from the console what shows ' sudo lshw -C display ' ? | 23:22 |
| uski | Bashing-om, it shows 2 adapters, both intel integrated graphics. It shows the second one (index 1) is unclaimed. | 23:25 |
| uski | There is 0: VGA compatible controller, and 1: Unclaimed : Display controller | 23:25 |
| uski | kernel is 5.0.0-29-generic from the xubuntu repos (not custom built) | 23:25 |
| Bashing-om | uski: Unclaimed - then no driver is loaded - pastebin the ^ output and we see waht we are working with :) | 23:27 |
| Bashing-om | what* | 23:27 |
| uski | Hmmm there is a dmesg line about an ACPI issue related to the display driver. Let me try what is suggested on the dmesg line, BRB | 23:27 |
| uski | [Firmware Bug]: Duplicate ACPI video bus devices for the same VGA controller, please try module parameter "video.allow_duplicates=1"if the current driver doesn't work. | 23:28 |
| uski | This was the line. I added that to a file in modprobe.d directory but it did not solve the issue. Considering I can see the graphics login screen, I don't 100% think it's a graphic driver issue | 23:29 |
| uski | HA! I added a new user and I can login... so something is wrong with my main user. Any idea as to what could cause a crash when logging into a specific user ? | 23:30 |
| Bashing-om | uski: Reset the desktop todefaults ? | 23:34 |
| uski | Yeah... I'd like to try to find the root cause to file a bug report if at all possible, if that happens to someone not so well versed he won't be able to recover. But yeah | 23:34 |
| uski | There is a weird line in my xsession-errors : "xfce4-session: Another session manager is already running" | 23:35 |
| Bashing-om | uski: I am all for finding the fault - will have to await one with greater skills than I :( | 23:36 |
| uski | Thanks for the pointer, it made me progress | 23:36 |
| uski | :) | 23:36 |
| Bashing-om | uski: :D ... At lease we have a sledge hammer means to resolve. | 23:38 |
| uski | I'll be AFK for some time but if someone has an idea, please say so. Basically something somewhere is making xfce not start, possibly because it thinks another instance is running | 23:39 |
