| xu-irc41w | hell i'm having trouble getting my samba shares to show on my network to a second linux machine, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong | 05:16 |
|---|---|---|
| xu-irc41w | as far as i can tell both computers are configured the same way | 05:17 |
| xu-irc41w | but only the laptop is broadcasting it's shares to the network | 05:17 |
| xu-irc41w | i solved that problem, but now i have a different problem | 06:18 |
| xu-irc41w | how do i change the update repositories for xubuntu? i switched to the experimental branch to upgrade the screensaver but it messed up tumbler | 06:19 |
| epzt | dear all, since having twicked xubuntu interface, some applications have lost there main menu. Don't remerber what I did exactly. How to getting back menus ? | 07:16 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | epzt, what main menu? | 07:17 |
| epzt | "file, edit ..." and so on which are most of the time at the top of windows applications | 07:18 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | epzt, on all applications? | 07:18 |
| epzt | no, not all. For example inkscape or the default pdf viewer | 07:19 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | epzt, what about xfce4-terminal? | 07:20 |
| epzt | what do you mean ? | 07:21 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | if xfce4-terminal has that menu on top. | 07:21 |
| epzt | no, no menu on top of the terminal | 07:22 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | epzt, and if you right click and > Show menu bar? | 07:25 |
| epzt | it is checked, but no menu | 07:26 |
| epzt | if I check menu tools, it appears, but not the menu bar | 07:28 |
| epzt | what is the default police for you ? | 07:30 |
| epzt | sorry "font" (in english :)) | 07:31 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | epzt, i have a different setup so it will not work for you, what i would do, i would make a new user and see if the menu bar works there because if it doesn't then it's a big problem. | 07:31 |
| epzt | ok, thanks. Will try that | 07:32 |

| xu-irc41w | hello i recently updated xubuntu to the latest release and now when i log in with my root account the GUI fails to render and i'm greeted with a black screen | 07:56 |
| xu-irc41w | i can access the terminal but that's about it. | 07:56 |
| xu-irc41w | the guest account works fine, but that doesn't help me since it's a guest | 07:57 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc41w, what do you mean by root account? | 08:01 |
| xu-irc41w | i have an admin account that i use as my primary | 08:01 |
| xu-irc41w | i can't access the gui at all in that account | 08:02 |
| xu-irc41w | i enter my password and get a black screen | 08:02 |
| xu-irc41w | i can get to a console by pressing ctrl alt f3 | 08:03 |
| xu-irc41w | i have tried launching xfce from the command line but i get the same result | 08:03 |
| xu-irc41w | the guest account is unaffected | 08:03 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc41w, ok then enter the console, login and run: startxfce4 and see if you get any errors. | 08:03 |
| xu-irc41w | server is already active for display zero | 08:04 |
| xu-irc41w | it's saying that if the server is no longer running to remove the /tmp/.x0-lock | 08:05 |
| xu-irc41w | should i go ahead and do that? | 08:05 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | better run: systemctl reboot and then login again but via console not lightdm. | 08:07 |
| xu-irc41w | i don't know how to access the console that way | 08:07 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | when you each login screen, press alt+ctrl+f3 | 08:08 |
| xu-irc41w | ok | 08:08 |
| xu-irc41w | hmm same error | 08:08 |
| xu-irc41w | i'm willing to bet removing that file will fix this | 08:09 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | try and see. | 08:09 |
| xu-irc41w | cannot establish any listening sockets | 08:11 |
| xu-irc41w | invalid MIT-magic-cookie-1 key | 08:11 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok remove .Xauthority | 08:11 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | and .ICEauthority | 08:12 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | and reboot | 08:12 |
| xu-irc41w | from the same tmp folder? | 08:12 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | rm ~/.Xauthority | 08:12 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | rm ~/.ICEauthority | 08:13 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | systemctl reboot | 08:13 |
| xu-irc41w | done | 08:15 |
| xu-irc41w | still won't start xfce | 08:15 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | run: mv .config/xfce4 .config/xfce4.bak | 08:16 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | then run: rm cache/sessions/* | 08:16 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | rm .cache/sessions/* | 08:17 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | and reboot again. | 08:17 |
| xu-irc41w | it's saying cannot remove is a directory | 08:18 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | rm -r .cache/sessions/* | 08:19 |
| xu-irc41w | ok i've rebooted | 08:20 |
| xu-irc41w | i'm still getting the same error | 08:23 |
| xu-irc41w | it also says authorization required but no authorization protocol specified | 08:24 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok let's see this: ls -a | nc termbin.com 9999 | 08:25 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | you will get and url, share it with us. | 08:25 |
| xu-irc41w | https://termbin.com/619y | 08:25 |
| xu-irc41w | sorry it's 6l9y | 08:26 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | cat .xsession-errors | nc termbin.com 9999 | 08:28 |
| xu-irc41w | https://termbin.com6z51c | 08:29 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | try this: | 08:36 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ps aux | grep X | 08:36 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | get the PID | 08:37 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | and run: sudo kill PID_of_X_server | 08:37 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | if it's successful then: startxfce4 | 08:37 |
| xu-irc41w | can you tell me what a PID looks like? | 08:39 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | root 1148 3.8 0.6 | 08:40 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | 1148 <<< is the PID | 08:40 |
| xu-irc41w | ok | 08:41 |
| xu-irc41w | now i'm back at the login screen | 08:41 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | try via console. | 08:41 |
| xu-irc41w | start xfce again? | 08:42 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | yes press alt+ctrl+f3 and startxfce4 | 08:42 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | don't reboot. | 08:43 |
| xu-irc41w | same thing again | 08:43 |
| xu-irc41w | think i got the wrong pid | 08:43 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | kill it again, go to console and this time try this command: | 08:45 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | x-session-manager --display :0 | 08:45 |
| xu-irc41w | unrecognized option --display | 08:46 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | run: startxfce4 | 08:47 |
| xu-irc41w | still the same error | 08:48 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | what error exactly? | 08:48 |
| xu-irc41w | server is already active for display 0 | 08:48 |
| xu-irc41w | i don't understand why this only happens in the main user account | 08:50 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | can you login to guest account? | 08:52 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | it will be easier. | 08:52 |
| xu-irc41w | yeah i'll try | 08:53 |
| xu-irc41w | graphical or console? | 08:53 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | graphic | 08:55 |
| xu-irc41w | ok i'm in | 08:55 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | can you access your other account /home? | 08:55 |
| xu-irc41w | no i can't | 08:56 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok open a terminal and run: inxi -Fxxc0 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 08:57 |
| xu-irc41w | termbin.com/dzwd | 08:58 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | that's not the commnd: inxi -Fxxc0 that's inxi -Cxxo | 09:01 |
| xu-irc41w | i ran -Fxxc0 | 09:04 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | run: inxi -Fxxc0 simply in terminal and tell me what categories you see there. | 09:07 |
| xu-irc41w | looks like system hardware configuration | 09:08 |
| xu-irc41w | system, machine, battery, cpu, graphics, audio, network | 09:09 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok then run one more time: inxi -Fxxc0 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 09:09 |
| xu-irc41w | https://termbin.com/fc99 | 09:12 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc41w, everything looks right, the problem is somewere between your /home configs, troubleshooting what exactrly causes the problem might take hours, i suggest you create another main account and copy all the data (except config files) into the new account. | 09:18 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | or if you want to troubleshoot it yourself then start by remaning one .folder and .file at a time. | 09:19 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | start with renaming .cache and .config and reboot and so on. | 09:19 |
| xu-irc41w | couldn't i copy the home configs from the guest account to the main? | 09:19 |
| xu-irc41w | the guest configs seem fine | 09:19 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc41w, you can boot a live system off an USB. | 09:19 |
| xu-irc41w | ok | 09:21 |
| xu-irc41w | ok i'm booted into the live usb | 09:25 |
| xu-irc41w | but i can't access any of the folders on the hard drive | 09:25 |
| xu-irc41w | i have to go to bed, i can pick this up in the morning | 09:26 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok then come back later. | 09:26 |
| adilsentosa | hello | 10:43 |
| adilsentosa | is enyone here | 10:43 |
| adilsentosa | someone> | 10:43 |
| xu-irc41w | ok i managed to get back into my main account by copying the guest configs | 14:22 |
| xu-irc41w | but now the shortcuts in the file manager are messed up | 14:22 |
| xu-irc41w | nevermind i figured it out | 14:27 |
| xu-irc41w | ok, new problem | 18:57 |
| xu-irc41w | now whenever i try to change the screen resolution the screen goes totally blank | 18:57 |
| xu-irc41w | this happens on ALL accounts | 18:57 |
| jwash | it feels like you're trying to change to a non-supported resolution | 18:58 |
| xu-irc41w | it worked before the system update | 19:00 |
| xu-irc41w | then after the update it totally broke | 19:00 |
| xu-irc41w | why would that suddenly change? | 19:04 |
| xu-irc41w | it happens with every resolution except native | 19:04 |
| xu-irc41w | i found the displays.xml file and the one on the laptop does NOT match the format of the one on my desktop | 19:05 |
| xu-irc41w | the file on my desktop has far more information in it | 19:05 |
| xu-irc41w | changing resolutions on my desktop works fine | 19:18 |
| xu-irc41w | is there a way to see what exactly is going on with the config tool? | 19:27 |
