fuzeHi I am having this issue how can I fix it? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1116780/18-04-stuck-in-login-loop-startx-fails18:44
fuzesddm loads and then black screen with cursor after login18:44
diogenes_how did it happen?18:45
fuzediogenes_: possibly messing with this, but im not sure https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/asxhcc/i_wrote_a_program_to_control_asus_aura_rgb/egy7uvk/18:47
fuzehere are some logs http://termbin.com/gg0t http://termbin.com/8kbh18:47
diogenes_so prior that patch all was fine?18:48
fuzediogenes_: yes18:49
fuzeThe patch didnt work so I was messing with other files in /lib/modules but reinstalling all the modules didnt fix it18:50
fuzealso I didnt have an xorg.conf file until I ran nvidia-xconf or similiar command I dont remember it18:50
diogenes_well then try to login with ctrl+alt+f1/2/3/4 navigate to that flder and do: sud make uninstall then: sudo rmmod i2c-piix4 then startx18:51
fuzediogenes_: I only installed it with insmod so updating the kernel should have overwritten it18:52
diogenes_it's in initramfs.18:53
fuzediogenes_: so can I refresh initramfs?18:54
diogenes_remove the module nd re-generate initramfs.18:55
fuzediogenes_: I thought Modules manually loaded using insmod do not persist when your system is rebooted (18:55
fuzehttps://serverfault.com/questions/147501/will-modules-installed-by-insmod-command-persist-after-rebooting18:55
fuzediogenes_: how do i remove the module and regenerate?18:56
diogenes_fuze, blacklist the module, then: sudo -update-initramfs -u18:57
diogenes_ sudo update-initramfs -u18:57
fuzehow do i blacklist?18:58
fuzeI dont want to make anything worse18:58
fuzeSo I want to make sure im running the right command18:58
diogenes_run: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf19:00
diogenes_add the following:19:00
diogenes_blacklist i2c-piix419:00
diogenes_save, close, re-generare initramfs then reboot.19:01
fuzestill not working19:04
fuzediogenes_: Is it possible to just install kubuntu 19.04 on top of my 18.04 installation?19:10
diogenes_fuze, what do you eman on top? you want to preserve the settings?19:11
fuzeyes preserve all settings, I assume Ill have to reinstall all packages? my home folder is a separate partition19:12
diogenes_btw another quick try would be to rename the .config folder and then try to login again.19:12
diogenes_in case you got a separate /home then a new installation will preserve all your settings, but DON'T forget to specify the /home partition as mount and "no format".19:13
fuzeWhat about installed packages?19:13
diogenes_ackages would be gone19:13
fuzediogenes_: Is it possible to get a list of all the ones I installed besides default?19:14
diogenes_apt list --installed > installed-packages19:14
fuzediogenes_: RENAMING .CONFIG FIXED IT19:14
diogenes_oh nice19:14
fuzethank you'19:15
fuzebut now I lost all my settings19:15
fuzeI was messing with app icons, idk how that would break it though19:15
diogenes_yeah that's why at this point you've got two choices:19:15
diogenes_1) to re-configure all again19:15
diogenes_2) to go thorough the trial-and-fail method and try to identify what exactly broke the things19:16
fuzeIs there some sort of log that would help?19:16
IrcsomeBot1<zparihar> Hey Guys, on my Plasma 5.12.9 my plasma media applet in the system tray icon disappeared and I don't want to log out and log back in to load it.  Any idea how to start from the CLI or KRunner?19:17
diogenes_fuze, you can look at cat .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log and cat .xsession-errors or whatever logs plasma creates (sorry i'm not too familiar with plasma)19:18
IrcsomeBot1<zparihar> I can no longer use my keyboard play/pause button to control media when this applet is not loaded.  I tried adding a widget, but it shows no music players running...19:18
fuzediogenes_: what should the chmod permissions command of ~/.config be?19:26
fuzeI backed up with sudo so i think it broke stuff19:26
fuze744 i think19:28
diogenes_sudo chown username:username -R .config19:29
fuzediogenes_: Is there an easy way to logout the blackscreen from a different tty?19:31
diogenes_ctrl+alt+f719:32
fuzediogenes_: But if i go back to ctrl alt f1 its still logged in, can i return it to the sddm?19:32
diogenes_no clue, maybe ctrl+alt+backspace (double press)19:34
fuzediogenes_: Not working, Ill just have to reboot every time I delete some files19:35
diogenes_nooo19:36
diogenes_of course not19:36
diogenes_try systemctl logout19:36
diogenes_some sources recommend: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 019:40
fuzediogenes_: doesnt seem to work19:46
fuzethe logout19:46
diogenes_skill -KILL -u 'whoami'19:46
diogenes_try that ^19:46
fuzeno process selection criteria19:47
diogenes_even: killall bash19:47
fuzenope19:48
diogenes_yeah this is the recommended: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout -1 -1 -119:53
diogenes_but i can't test it.19:54
fuzecannot find .logout in object /ksmserver at org.kde.ksmserver19:58
diogenes_sudo systemctl restart sddm19:59
fuzeok that works, not sure if its just showing the sddm or actually logging out though20:01
diogenes_killall plasma-desktop && kstart plasma-desktop20:01
diogenes_see which one works20:01
fuzeno process found20:02
fuzediogenes_: actually just restarting sddm works caus i tried deleting .config and then that worked20:03
fuzeso plasma doesnt even start with my config20:03
diogenes_ok good.20:04
fuzediogenes_: is there an easy command to take a list of all the files/folders in one directory, and remove files/folders with the same name in another directory?20:09
diogenes_fuze, sure there is but at this point im too tired to continue so hopefully someone could assist you further on.20:11
fuzediogenes_: ok thank you for all the help though20:13
diogenes_np20:13
* diogenes_ is off20:13
