Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
Just to confirm, you mean just executing 'rm -rf .config && mv .config.bck .config' and continuing to reconfigure as per normal use..? Just to add, i also had a problem of not being able to graphically see my hard disk partitions (but able to see them being filled in system settings). I had to recover the contents and reformat the disk. Do you think it is possible the problem is related to this one (or to using 'sudo nautilus' instead of 'gksudo nautilus') I am (currently)also facing issue of not being able to see documents saved from tor browser on desktop/file explorer, but able to see them in save as window. Can it be related to this problem ? Could you suggest good sources to learn more about trisquel (gnulinux/unix type systems) as a new user. thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
the file was .bck , so i executed 'rm -rf .config && mv .config.bck .config' first. Then this command "$ mv .config/gnome-session .config/gnome-session.bck" was showing error that particular folder does not exist. So, after reading the old comments carefully, i understood that i first renamed .config to .config.bck. then logging in automatically created a new .config so you would have wanted me to first executed 'rm -rf .config && mv .config.bck .config' and then to create a new .config folder and shifted files from .config.bck to .config graphically. i was able to log in everytime after all files were shifted.. I may have misunderstood the instructions, so please comment. Also, i am attaching a new log file.the old one was from the guest user id. Also want to thank you for answering with a lot of patience details, the tab function is of great help. Lastly, as this operation is taking a lot of our time, would you recommend i just redo the configuration settings on the old user or create a new user . Is there any fundamental problem which could reoccur in future if i do not find the fault file ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
i am able to graphically log in again after "mv .config .config.bak" but customizations (such as toolbar, shortcuts etc) are not restored. i am unable to find the graphical version of .config file. i can see about 8 directories and 4 files namely dir dconf evolution gnome-session gtk-3.0 ibus nautilus pulse update- notifier files monitors.xml profilemigrated user-dirs.dirs user-dirs.locale 1) should i return config file using "mv .config.bak .config" and then use alt+ctrl+f1 to move individual files 2) should i start with nautilus as i suspect my overuse of "sudo nautilus" could have been cause of problem? pls guide. 3) I may have made a mistake of using "mv .config .config.bck" instead of "mv .config .config.bak". How to check if i did so and rectify?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
@ADFENO - i tried the solution mv ".Xauthority" ".Xauthority.1" . the problem stays the same. SHould i rename it back using mv .Xauthority.1 .Xauthority (is the command right ?) @Lembas- I understand now. any solutions ? @Magic banana - i am able to add new user and log in to graphical interface. Should i elevate its status to admin, lower the original account's status to standard and delete it ? how to transfer all my files from previous account to this new account ? I would rather choose to have a way to fix the old account as there are many custom settings which will have to be redone.. any solutions.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
I have attached the Xorg.0.log file. (in odt as log files are not allowed) Thanks for replying Adfeno.. :) I searched Xauthority on web and found a thread with similar problem and solution.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/300682/what-represent-xauthority-file The solution could be relevant as i used to use sudo nautilus quite often (in order to get rights to edit files on my external HDD) Please share your comments on it.

> The solution could be relevant as i used to use sudo nautilus quite often (in order to get rights to edit files on my external HDD) This is why you're having the issue. You should always use gksudo and not sudo to start graphical apps.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
Thanks for reply.. :) The keyboard layout was changed after defining the password. I am able to log in through terminal and change the password through sudo passwd command. the problem still persists as i am unable to log in to Graphical interface even if i click alt+f7 after logging in through terminal (i am shown the same enter password page). I have tried entering password in both layouts, it seems the password is not the problem as it does not show invalid password error in red. It tries to accept it but loops back to the same screen. i am new to gnulinux and unable to follow 3rd paragraph. what will following the last line achieve ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help needed - Cannot log in trisquel after external harddisk not ejected properly
You can also try renaming the file at "/home/[username]/.Xauthority", to "/home/[username]/.Xauthority.1". If you are logged in with such user in one of Ctrl + Alt + F1 through Ctrl + Alt + F6 (these are the so called virtual terminals) you can also do: cd mv ".Xauthority" ".Xauthority.1" Sorry for not being able to elaborate on this answer any further.
