User1: howdy
User1: anyone on?
User1: every time i close my laptop and open it again, the screen just goes black after i log in
User1: the lock screen is fine, just after i log in
User1: sometimes it opens wherever i left off after a couple minutes, but most of the time i end up having to restart the computer
User2: a mistake was made and I remove /usr/lib/ after some tweaking my pc start but xubuntu do not show my login screen and do not let me access to any other workspace (ctr-alt-f1..f6). Any method to disable xubuntu startx and go to console mode?
User3: nine_pt, with live session
User2: a live cd?
User3: yes or usb
User3: you can copy /usr/lib directly from usb live to your hdd root partition
User2: I did that, and after run a script https://askubuntu.com/questions/272729/accidently-deleted-usr-lib-how-do-i-restore-it but xfce don't show login screen and don't allow to change workspace
User3: nine_pt, then you boot from live session usb/dvd and modify the Exec=startxfce4 to Exec=xterm in /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop or /usr/share/xsessions/xubuntu.desktop
User3: or both
User2: User3 thanks, I will try that in a minute, my home partition is encrypted, I am trying to mount it and do a backup, if in case I can't start xfce I will clena and install again
User3: ok
User2: didn't work ... I replaced on both files and the screen gets black, it appears the mouse cursor and get black ... ang kepts this way forever. I am not able to reach to menu to do a login ...
User2: any way to change xubuntu to start on text console instead  the graphic user login?
User4: you can temporarily switch from desktop GUI to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6
User4: for
User4: Boot into Command-line Permanently: http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ubuntu-debian.html
User2: changed the runlevel to 3 and I was able to  boot. When executing statxfce4 it fails with parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)
User2: User3 parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied) have any meaning to you? I am not able to startxfce4 with my user but it works with root
User3: nine_pt, try to create a new user or simply move all the .files in your /home dir to another place
User3: .files and .folders and re-log or reboot
User2: my folder is encrypted and I need it that way ...
User5: heya
User5: have a nice day wherever you are
User6: Diogenes_, I plugged in an Ext4 thumbdrive, and it copies fine, a bit slower (that may be due to the drive itself), but it was a constant flow of data, no pauses. Thanks for your time and your help, I'll continue to experiement.
User2: my older isn't able to pass from lightdm login, enter authentication screen gests black and back to lightdm, but a new user (create a new one) can. Any tip on how to check what is causing the problem?
User3: nine_pt, try remove .Xauthority
User2: User3 ok ... one more logout login ...
User3: and .ICEauthority
User2: User3 more ideas?
User2: didn't work ...
User3: rename .config
User2: User3 all .config ?
User3: yes .config.bak
User2: give me a sec
User2: continue to fail ...
User3: then continue renaming .folders to .folder.bak and re-log
User3: that's a long trial and fail path
User3: start with .cache
User2: bahh ....
User2: ok, so after looing into .xsession-erros, should have done this some time ago ... file .ICEauthority was with was with root permissions
