 Hi everyone. … I forgot my lubuntu password what can I do now🤔
[15:53] <tomreyn> hi ManoharVoggu
[15:53] <tomreyn> you can boot to recovery and set a new password from there
[15:53] <tomreyn> !recovery
[15:54] <tomreyn> this is assuming you're not using disk encryption and forgot this passphrase as well
[15:54] <tomreyn> !password
 The thing is I don't see a grub menu.  … I'm on a MacBook and I have lubuntu booted from an external hard drive
 Anyway I can open a shell from the login screen and do something?
[15:56] <tomreyn> you'll need to gain root access, which normally requires you to enter your password
[15:56] <tomreyn> so from the running system it will not be possible, i'm afraid.
 Hmm
[15:57] <tomreyn> do you know whether you actually use grub there to boot?
[15:57] <tomreyn> or something else? i'm not so familiar with macs
 Mac has something called a 'startup manager' in which I can select which drive to boot from … Internal or external
 But unlike ubuntu grub , I don't see options like recovery
[16:00] <tomreyn> i suspect you may still be using grub, loading after the startup manager.
[16:00] <tomreyn> just the menu is hidden by default
[16:00] <tomreyn> you may need to press escape repeatedly there.
 Pressing Esc repeatedly sadly didn't work for me, will let u know if something works
 Start a live-system and chroot into the installed os
[16:12] <tomreyn> it may even work without chroot
[16:13] <tomreyn> ManoharVoggu: ^
 @ManoharVoggu [Pressing Esc repeatedly sadly didn't work for me, will let u know if something w …], holding/repeatedly pressing shift might also do it
 @aptghetto [Start a live-system and chroot into the installed os], this can also be done.
[16:47] <lovezrs> hey,everyone .does any knows how to remove aport/aport-gtk?
 Which version of Lubuntu do you use?
[16:49] <lovezrs> lubuntu 18.04
[16:51] <lovezrs> I type the command sudo apt remove apport  then the system notice me that would remove the lubuntu-desktop  lubuntu-gtk-core  lubuntu-gtk-desktop
[16:52] <lovezrs> i am afraid that would be harmful to my lubuntu
[16:53] <tomreyn> you could just disable it instead
 Do you have a good reason to remove it?
[16:55] <lovezrs> i don't like the error message shown  when i am focus in something
 The error message disturbs you? But the error is no problem?
[16:58] <lovezrs> that's just a harmless error
[16:59] <lovezrs> I just don't like the error notice form,because it is useless ,I click the report button for thousands time ,but the next time,it still appeared...
 Disable it: `sudo systemctl stop apport.service && sudo systemctl disable apport.service` should do the trick
[17:14] <wxl> if you keep getting error notifications, you likely have something wrong
[17:14] <wxl> including the possibility of a .crash report sitting around that never gets properly submitted
[17:33] <lovezrs> lubot: thanks
[17:34] <lovezrs> wxl: maybe ,but my lubuntu runs well except the error notifications...
[17:35] <wxl> lovezrs: whta are the errors?
[17:37] <lovezrs> I should login twice when I power on my laptop,then the error notification appeared
[17:38] <lovezrs> I need login twice when I power on my laptop,then the error notification appeared
[17:39] <lovezrs> I did not have a screenshot of the notification,I can't remeber it  now
[17:39] <wxl> you need to login twice? that seems normal???
[17:40] <lovezrs> not noramal ,but i don't care about it :=）
[17:40] <wxl> you have anything in /var/crash?
[17:42] <lovezrs> yes,the lightdm's error message
[17:42] <wxl> can you paste that up?
[17:43] <wxl> btw that old 18.04 version you're on is supported only for a few more months. you should really think about an upgrade to 19.10.
[17:46] <lovezrs> i have a problem when using paste.ubuntu.com
[17:46] <lovezrs> Bad Gateway The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
[17:46] <lovezrs>  
[17:46] <lovezrs>  Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at paste.ubuntu.com Port 443
[17:46] <wxl> then use pastebin.com or termbin.com or share.riseup.net or.............
[17:47] <lovezrs> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hbDZDqWNh6/
[17:47] <lovezrs> finally sucess
 What shows `journalctl -b -p err`?
[17:57] <wxl> assuming you sent one of those reports today based on https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2018.04&package=lightdm-gtk-greeter&period=day your most likely culprit is bug 1422794
[17:59] <lovezrs> wow ,I am so lucky :-)
[18:00] <lovezrs> it still not be repaired
[18:06] <lovezrs> thanks for your helps,I should go to bed now
[20:05] <Lizardman> wxl: GreetRings if you're around
[20:06] <Lizardman> So I've got my fresh 19.10 Lubuntu going, my monitor is native 2K, but I bump it down to 1080p due to how I organize programs, however I've noticed, especially with Qt, that either some DPI setting is in effect or maybe the OS adjusted font sizes at install based on resolution?  Everything is quite large
 Nice observation.
 You can change the font sizes manually I guess.
