[06:09] <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..?
[06:11] <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..
[06:12] <nikolam> Also I have another monitor plugged in, but it is small CRT so I keep it as disabled/not user in Display properties..
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <nikolam> Anyone can reproduce this (I am on Radeon 7850 and it's graphics drivers form ubuntu if that matters.
[08:22] <Gayathri> Hi
[08:23] <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
[14:55] <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…
[15:09] <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..
[15:16] <GridCube> weird
[15:17] <GridCube> Gusj: could you try something like: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all --reinstall
[15:18] <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..
[15:20] <Gusj> ok did your sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all --reinstall,  updating now and rebooting
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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
[15:29] <Gusj> Yes I have already tried that before.. the uninstall and install.. I had seen that link before and tried it without resul :(
[15:30] <Gusj> let me try it one more time to see..
[15:31] <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
[15:33] <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?
[15:34] <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..
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <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?
[15:37] <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
[15:38] <Gusj> can't do it with the on board keyboard..
[15:38] <Gusj> How cna I try that while rebooting?
[15:39] <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
[15:49] <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
[15:56] <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
[15:57] <Gusj> @Grid
[15:58] <Gusj> can't choose anything the cursor does not move at this point..
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <Gusj> with the keyboard not working
[16:25] <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..
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <GridCube> Gusj: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=793348&sid=eabb3744d31bd214b2953400247a567d#p793348
[16:35] <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..
[16:36] <GridCube> Gusj: just type gr and press tab
[17:28] <Gusj> GridCube: when you say a different level of problem, do you mean hardware? if keyboard does not work in recovery mode?
[17:34] <GridCube> Gusj: maybe, but you said BIOS does recognize the kb so that would discard the hardware level
[17:35] <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...
[17:36] <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?
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <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
[17:41] <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
[23:03] <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 ?
[23:05] <Bashing-om> uski: At the login screen can you activate a virtual terminal - key combo ctl+alt+F2 ?
[23:12] <uski> Bashing-om,  yes, that's where i tried starttx after shutting down lightdm
[23:13] <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)
[23:14] <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
[23:22] <Bashing-om> uski: Likely broken graphics driver - from the console what shows ' sudo lshw -C display ' ?
[23:25] <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)
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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.
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <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 ?
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <uski> There is a weird line in my xsession-errors : "xfce4-session: Another session manager is already running"
[23:36] <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> :)
[23:38] <Bashing-om> uski: :D ... At lease we have a sledge hammer means to resolve.
[23:39] <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
