Ubuntu 18.10 settings bug

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4596 / 2 Years ago, thu, october 20, 2022, 8:24:13

Ubuntu works fine, when I click settings it takes me a screen where it flashes a few things on the black (like when Linux boots up and it shows everything loading) and then takes me to login screen, where I can login again but can't open settings still. Any ideas?

[  578.459424] nouveau 0000:09:00.0: gr: FECS falcon already acquired by gr!

[  578.459452] nouveau 0000:09:00.0: gr: init failed, -16

[  578.485318] nouveau 0000:09:00.0: gr: FECS falcon already acquired by gr!

[  578.485369] nouveau 0000:09:00.0: gr: init failed, -16

The text above is the text that is shown when I do it (it shows for a brief second if that affects anything)

You may have a problem with an older computer, with an older GPU. Try this...

boot to recovery mode

choose root access

type:

mount -o remount,rw /      # to remount the disk r/w



pico /etc/gdm3/custom.conf # edit this file

change:

#WaylandEnable=false

to:

WaylandEnable=false

Then reboot.

Note: if this doesn't fix the problem, you'll want to reinstall the nouveau video driver, or install the Nvidia driver.
