[02:47] I want to place a folder in the cursors folder [02:49] oh, i'm too slow === ichoquo0Aigh9ie is now known as jalcine === jalcine is now known as jacky [03:47] :P === kubuntu is now known as Guest30906 === TomTom is now known as Guest60393 === MANIAC is now known as Guest35679 [10:59] @ericadams, Yhh I mean when i was using Ubuuntu I had no issues with boots and stuff. [11:29] Howdy folks [12:32] Hello [15:24] quit === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life === msalvatore_ is now known as msalvatore [18:44] Hi I am having this issue how can I fix it? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1116780/18-04-stuck-in-login-loop-startx-fails [18:44] sddm loads and then black screen with cursor after login [18:45] how did it happen? [18:47] diogenes_: 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] here are some logs http://termbin.com/gg0t http://termbin.com/8kbh [18:48] so prior that patch all was fine? [18:49] diogenes_: yes [18:50] The patch didnt work so I was messing with other files in /lib/modules but reinstalling all the modules didnt fix it [18:50] also I didnt have an xorg.conf file until I ran nvidia-xconf or similiar command I dont remember it [18:51] 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 startx [18:52] diogenes_: I only installed it with insmod so updating the kernel should have overwritten it [18:53] it's in initramfs. [18:54] diogenes_: so can I refresh initramfs? [18:55] remove the module nd re-generate initramfs. [18:55] diogenes_: I thought Modules manually loaded using insmod do not persist when your system is rebooted ( [18:55] https://serverfault.com/questions/147501/will-modules-installed-by-insmod-command-persist-after-rebooting [18:56] diogenes_: how do i remove the module and regenerate? [18:57] fuze, blacklist the module, then: sudo -update-initramfs -u [18:57] sudo update-initramfs -u [18:58] how do i blacklist? [18:58] I dont want to make anything worse [18:58] So I want to make sure im running the right command [19:00] run: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [19:00] add the following: [19:00] blacklist i2c-piix4 [19:01] save, close, re-generare initramfs then reboot. [19:04] still not working [19:10] diogenes_: Is it possible to just install kubuntu 19.04 on top of my 18.04 installation? [19:11] fuze, what do you eman on top? you want to preserve the settings? [19:12] yes preserve all settings, I assume Ill have to reinstall all packages? my home folder is a separate partition [19:12] btw another quick try would be to rename the .config folder and then try to login again. [19:13] 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] What about installed packages? [19:13] ackages would be gone [19:14] diogenes_: Is it possible to get a list of all the ones I installed besides default? [19:14] apt list --installed > installed-packages [19:14] diogenes_: RENAMING .CONFIG FIXED IT [19:14] oh nice [19:15] thank you' [19:15] but now I lost all my settings [19:15] I was messing with app icons, idk how that would break it though [19:15] yeah that's why at this point you've got two choices: [19:15] 1) to re-configure all again [19:16] 2) to go thorough the trial-and-fail method and try to identify what exactly broke the things [19:16] Is there some sort of log that would help? [19:17] 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? [19:18] 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] 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... [19:26] diogenes_: what should the chmod permissions command of ~/.config be? [19:26] I backed up with sudo so i think it broke stuff [19:28] 744 i think [19:29] sudo chown username:username -R .config [19:31] diogenes_: Is there an easy way to logout the blackscreen from a different tty? [19:32] ctrl+alt+f7 [19:32] diogenes_: But if i go back to ctrl alt f1 its still logged in, can i return it to the sddm? [19:34] no clue, maybe ctrl+alt+backspace (double press) [19:35] diogenes_: Not working, Ill just have to reboot every time I delete some files [19:36] nooo [19:36] of course not [19:36] try systemctl logout [19:40] some sources recommend: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 0 [19:46] diogenes_: doesnt seem to work [19:46] the logout [19:46] skill -KILL -u 'whoami' [19:46] try that ^ [19:47] no process selection criteria [19:47] even: killall bash [19:48] nope [19:53] yeah this is the recommended: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout -1 -1 -1 [19:54] but i can't test it. [19:58] cannot find .logout in object /ksmserver at org.kde.ksmserver [19:59] sudo systemctl restart sddm [20:01] ok that works, not sure if its just showing the sddm or actually logging out though [20:01] killall plasma-desktop && kstart plasma-desktop [20:01] see which one works [20:02] no process found [20:03] diogenes_: actually just restarting sddm works caus i tried deleting .config and then that worked [20:03] so plasma doesnt even start with my config [20:04] ok good. [20:09] diogenes_: 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? [20:11] fuze, sure there is but at this point im too tired to continue so hopefully someone could assist you further on. [20:13] diogenes_: ok thank you for all the help though [20:13] np [20:13] * diogenes_ is off [20:36] dilfridge: Found the issue. This was in /home/austin/.config.bak/plasma-workspace/env/ https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/mKe0PwTg/ [20:37] wait thats just a symlink to a startup script i wrote [20:42] ohh i remember why I put that there. was trying to fix this bug https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/372710/kde5-after-resume-from-suspend-i-have-corrupted-labels-under-icons [20:50] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/445005/kubuntu-18-04-cron-task-does-not-load-reboot
