[10:54] <stamasd> hi there
[10:55] <stamasd> I'm trying to install xubuntu on an older HP thin client (VIA Nano 1GHz, 4GB, ViaChrome GPU). The install went fine, but after booting into the system I only get a CLI, not a GUI.
[10:56] <stamasd> The installer worked fine in GUI mode, and after rebooting I do get the Xubuntu logo with the spinning circle for a few seconds, then it drops to text mode.
[10:57] <stamasd> I have the Xorg.0.log but I'm not sure how to attach it here. It looks like it's trying a number of drivers and failing.
[10:59] <stamasd> okay here we go: https://pastebin.com/ri5CG59d
[10:59] <stamasd> that is the Xorg log
[12:56] <xu-irc32w> Hi, I am trying to install xubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64 on VirtualBox-6.1.40-154048-Win and right at the end of installation, I get the message: installed linux-image-5.15.0-58-generic package post installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1. I'm not sure what's going on. I have recently reset my laptop, so this is a brand new
[12:56] <xu-irc32w> installation, but I had installed it previously (prior to reset) with no problems at all. I'm installing using all the default Xubuntu settings. Let me know if I need to provide any other details. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
[13:14] <gnrp> xu-irc32w: you install it in a virtualbox?
[13:14] <gnrp> could be it's failing to install the bootloader. 
[13:14] <gnrp> honestly, since it's a vm, I'd just try rebooting and doing a new installl in case. Worst case is losing five minutes
[13:15] <xu-irc32w> Thank you for your response - unfortunately, I've tried that a few times and I'm still getting the same error.
[13:25] <gnrp> what happens when you reboot?
[13:25] <gnrp> the vm, I mean
[13:31] <xu-irc32w> If I keep the .iso file in the drive, the VM will reboot and go through the process of reinstalling xubuntu
[13:32] <gnrp> and if you don't?
[13:35] <xu-irc32w> I get the message: end Kernel panic: not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
[13:41] <gnrp> hm. I don't have enough insight how the installer works. but it seems as if the initrd has a problem. next time you install, you should start a shell and try reconfiguring the packages to regenerate the inird
[13:45] <xu-irc32w> That's about as much as I gleaned from my searches too - I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your help, I'll give that a go!
[13:49] <gnrp> with dpkg-reconfigure -a
[13:49] <gnrp> but I don't know if they get installed in a chroot or how this works exactly
[13:55] <stamasd> well the situation with the HP thin client has got worse. :)
[13:58] <stamasd> originally right after install and reboot, it would drop me to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I was still able to switch to a different virtual console (ctrl-alt-f1, f2 etc), login and do stuff in the CLI. But after I did a system update (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade - which BTW completed fine) and reboot, it won't let me login
[13:58] <stamasd> anymore. It still goes to a blank screen with blinking cursor, but now when I switch to a different virtual console, it automatically switches back to the one with the blinking cursor within one second. I don't have time to type in my username/password before that happens so I can't login.
[13:59] <stamasd> And it looks like SSH access is turned off by default so I can't remote login either
[13:59] <stamasd> At this point I don't have access to the OS anymore. I may have to pull the drive off, conenct it to another machine and chroot into it to try and salvage things
[14:05] <stamasd> ... or use a live CD to chroot
[18:20] <gabriel_> conhecendo a distro
[18:24] <xu-irc38w> hello! I've just install xubuntu on a VM and I'm taking a web dev course. So ill probably be using this IRC in the future. Nice to meet you all and thank you for your support

[18:25] <tomreyn> consider installing a proper irc client and getting a better nickname, too.
[19:46] <PrinceRYlan42> Hello I'm using a VM with Xubuntu installed and my second monitor isn't working properly when I drag applications over my cursor is misaligned with the program. And when I try to click on things in a program it doesnt function. How do I get my second monitor to operate ?

[21:13] <patrick_> Hello?
[21:13] <gnrp> patrick_: hi
[21:14] <patrick_> any craic
[21:19] <patrick_> Guys how do I move a window between monitors using the keyboard? I've tried some scripts that I downloaded using pip but they weren't working properly, or at least I didn't set them up correctly. Some windows were moving, but not all of them. 
[21:37] <gnrp> patrick_: There is no built-in way for that
[21:40] <gnrp> patrick_: https://github.com/jc00ke/move-to-next-monitor - this one works for me (22.04)
[21:40] <gnrp> I put that on a hotkey and it does the job
