[18:50] <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?
[18:57] <GridCube> xu-help64w, delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files from your ~/ directory
[19:11] <xu-help64w> Thanks for the reply, what is the ~ directory?
[19:12] <GridCube> your home directory
[19:12] <GridCube> like mine is /home/gridcube
[19:12] <GridCube> your's will be whatever yourusername is
[19:30] <xu-help64w> OK, I removed them but no fix.  I checked and .Xauthority returns, is that a system generated file?
[19:34] <GridCube> yes
[19:34] <GridCube> both .ICEauth and .Xauth regenerate when you log back in
[19:35] <xu-help64w> .ICE has not returned but Xauth does, is that a problem?
[19:36] <GridCube> shouldn't be
[19:36] <GridCube> i think it generates when a program wants to talk to another or something
[19:37] <GridCube> you can log in into a tty right?
[19:44] <xu-help64w> yes
[19:48] <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
[21:52] <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
