[SOLVED] Lithium Upgrade and multiple users

dashingdon · 2020-09-06 04:49:38

I have successfully completed the Lithium upgrade by logging is as user1 . Everything is working great. Then logged in as user2 , OS comes up , right click menu also shows up but I can not click any item in the menu. For example : if I click on the File Manager, nothing happens. I logged back in as user1 and I am able to click on the file manager to open it.

Please let me know if I am missing any permissions for user2. Just a note , both users existed prior to the upgrade and were working.

Thanks in advance.

Do menu items work using the keyboard instead of the mouse? Perhaps it is a mouse button issue with eg bl-rc.xml.

Check out bl-user-setup and see if it helps:

bl-user-setup --help

Thanks Damo. Tried

bl-user-setup --reset

.

Also tried Menu items using keyboard. That did not work either.

Any other suggestions ?

Note : Super key combinations are working.

sounds like could be a problem with user2's jgmenu home config files - maybe ~/.xsession-errors would show something useful? just to be clear nothing at all in the menu works? does the command "jgmenu_run" in a terminal provide any feedback?

does the command "jgmenu_run" in a terminal provide any feedback?

Thanks for the pointer. Few error examples below

interesting that the errors occur only under user2. journalctl and /var/log/Xorg.*.log may show more

the "XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"" error seems to be pretty generic after looking online - by that i mean there are a lot of search results without a clear resolution - it's possible that rather than jgmenu being the issue, it's misbehaving as a symptom of another issue - the line "/usr/bin/bl-conky-pipemenu: Failed to locate saved-sessions in /home/$USER2/.config/conky" in user2's ~/.xsession-errors might indicate further user2 home directory spaghettification

if you ran bl-user-setup --reset as user2 and it didn't help, it's possible that the issue is not specific to bunsenlab configuration files - however you could look at user2's ~/.cache/bunsen/bl-setup/log for more details as to what the bl-user-setup command did

in any case, to me, the defining characteristic of the situation is that it's user account specific since user1 is not affected

possible workaround would be to log in as user1, add a user3, and test user3's account. if user3 works, maybe you would just want to copy whatever user2 data you need over to user3 and delete user2

data copied from user2 to user3 may have permission problems, and the specific username of user2 may be something you want to maintain, but both those things could be probably be worked out - in the case of permission problems, chown and chmod would be our friends, and in the case of maintaining user2's original username, what i've done in the past is to add user3, copy data over, delete user2, add user2, copy data over, delete user3

just some ideas

Thanks Nick. I will try out tomorrow and update the outcome. Thank you for your help.

# Add User 

adduser username
usermod -aG sudo username # adding to sudo group

# Delete User with backup
deluser --backup --remove-home username

use sudo before each command

New user creation worked. One down .. I need to do the same with other two kids laptop ....

Thanks Nick and Damo. I will mark it as resolved as workaround is working as expected.
