Hi, Is anyone using similar hardware to Pepperdine ? If you are, do you have issues?
Can anyone give useful suggestions where Pepperdine could start looking for issues? I tried "$ journalctl | grep -i error" and the output was not in a useful format on my computer for searching for issues. Does anyone know where lightdm and xorg sends it log out put to? I have found two suggestions for lightdm, "/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log" and "journalctl -b -u lightdm" (or "journalctl -u lightdm") ? And for xorg /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Some thoughts that I have for searching for issues: $ sudo lightdm --test-mode --debug $ sudo lightdm --show-config # journalctl _PID=630 (for xorg?) # journalctl _PID=630 | grep -i error (I do not see any error messages on my computer) I found someone on the Internet with a similar issue and a recommendation for a reinstall, though I doubt this will help. sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-fbdev sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm This was another log check I noticed someone doing: journalctl | grep -i "broken pipe" https://www.loggly.com/ultimate-guide/using-journalctl/ George.
