| [10:04] <Curium> Hello! | |
| [10:07] <Curium> I force-powered off a laptop with Lubuntu 18.04 (32-bit), and now it won't log in. Whenever I try, it returns me to the login screen. | |
| [10:07] <Curium> Does anyone know how to fix this? | |
| [10:09] <guiverc> Curium, rather than a power off, did you try commanding the machine to safely shutdown (ie. SysRq commands)... After a power off, I'd boot a *live* system and file-system check (fsck) your disks | |
| [10:09] <guiverc> I would then boot it normally, login via terminal to ensure you have free space, then try normal gui login (lack of disk space in $HOME or the user directory can cause login-loop) | |
| [10:10] <Curium39> Oops, got disconnected there. | |

| [10:10] <guiverc> Curium39, ^ | |
| [10:11] <Curium39> Ah thanks. It might be low on space. How do I check? | |
| [10:11] <guiverc> Also don't power-off a machine, you can use SysRq keys to cause the kernel to cleanly shutdown. grab a phone and search "magic sysrq" for the commands if you don't remember them, the wikipedia article is usually near top & is pretty good at safe shutdowns | |
| [10:12] <guiverc> `df -hl` (disk free, -h for human output, -l for local filesystems only, the options are optional) | |
| [10:13] <Curium39> Available: 0 | |
| [10:13] <Curium39> Disk space it is. | |
| [10:13] <Curium39> Thanks for your help! | |
| [10:13] <guiverc> :) | |
| [10:15] <Curium39> And I'm in! Thanks again! | |

| [20:23] <cool_skeleton_95> Is there anyway to have a widget that allows you to change the brightness of the screen? | |
| [20:28] <acab> do you already have it with you Backlight tried? | |
