xu-help64w | I'm stuck in an endless loop on my login. I've found a temporary fix on the internet but not a permanent fix. Any ideas? | 18:50 |
---|---|---|
GridCube | xu-help64w, delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files from your ~/ directory | 18:57 |
xu-help64w | Thanks for the reply, what is the ~ directory? | 19:11 |
GridCube | your home directory | 19:12 |
GridCube | like mine is /home/gridcube | 19:12 |
GridCube | your's will be whatever yourusername is | 19:12 |
xu-help64w | OK, I removed them but no fix. I checked and .Xauthority returns, is that a system generated file? | 19:30 |
GridCube | yes | 19:34 |
GridCube | both .ICEauth and .Xauth regenerate when you log back in | 19:34 |
xu-help64w | .ICE has not returned but Xauth does, is that a problem? | 19:35 |
GridCube | shouldn't be | 19:36 |
GridCube | i think it generates when a program wants to talk to another or something | 19:36 |
GridCube | you can log in into a tty right? | 19:37 |
xu-help64w | yes | 19:44 |
GridCube | xu-help64w, try deleting the files from the tty if that still doesn't do it, you could try to do sudo apt update && sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop --reinstall | 19:48 |
GridCube | you could rename your .config folder as well | 19:48 |
Grumble1 | A few days ago Thunar stopped launching. I just updated and it is thankfully working again, but a panel item I was using disappeared and I cannot find it again. It was a drop down of locations. Does anyone know how I can reinstall that panel item? | 21:52 |
Grumble1 | It was like "directory menu", but it did not tree out to sub-menus. It was just a single dropdown with a list of useful folders. I think they were some standard places and the GTK favorites | 21:52 |
