Jan 01 20:58:19 <caden> Hey, I am having problems with installing the Ubuntu desktop. Whenever I install it I cannot login. It will wait a few seconds, the screen will go black and it takes me back to the login screen
Jan 01 20:59:07 <k1l_> caden: sounds like the wrong video drivers? ist that image known to work?
Jan 01 20:59:26 <caden> no, i have xubuntu installed and it works just fine
Jan 01 21:00:08 <k1l_> who is the owner of the .XAuthority file in that users home?
Jan 01 21:00:24 <k1l_> .Xauthority
Jan 01 21:01:02 <caden> sorry, you will have to tell me how to do that. (i'm new to ubuntu) :)
Jan 01 21:01:19 <k1l_> "ls -al " in a terminal
Jan 01 21:01:44 <k1l_> what device is it? what ubuntu version?
Jan 01 21:02:13 <caden> my device is a raspberry pi 2b and it is runnning ubuntu mate and xubuntu 15.04
Jan 01 21:03:50 <caden> oh and my x.org is configured
Jan 01 21:17:58 <caden> r u there?
Jan 01 21:18:19 <k1l_> who is ownerand group of that file?
Jan 01 21:19:17 <caden> the file doesnt seem to exist
Jan 01 21:20:02 <k1l_> so who is the owner of that users home?
Jan 01 21:20:10 <caden> me
Jan 01 21:20:18 <caden> there is only one user
Jan 01 21:21:42 <k1l_> i am quite sure xfce does need that file, too.
Jan 01 21:21:58 <caden> well i dont know what to tell yo
Jan 01 21:22:01 <caden> *you
Jan 01 21:25:37 <caden> my /etc /X11/xorg.conf exists and has text in it
Jan 01 21:26:34 <k1l_> its not about the x11
Jan 01 21:27:01 <caden> well thats the video driver's config file
Jan 01 21:27:11 <k1l_> the desktop needs the .Xauthority file in the users home.
Jan 01 21:27:25 <k1l_> and that owner and group needs to be the user.
Jan 01 21:27:58 <k1l_> if you fiddel with sudo/root that can make that file be owned by root. and then you get exactly the effect, that you cant login anymore.
Jan 01 21:28:59 <caden> ok sorry the file DOES exist. i was looking i /home instead of my user's home
Jan 01 21:29:17 <k1l_> who is the owner?
Jan 01 21:29:24 <caden> how do i find that out
Jan 01 21:29:29 <k1l_> "ls -al"
Jan 01 21:29:42 <caden> i am the owner
Jan 01 21:29:43 <k1l_> in terminal. if you open a terminal it will be in your users home.
Jan 01 21:29:55 <caden> ya i know a lot about terminal;
