Forgot to mention this happened after fresh install of Budgie-Remix, no screen lock settings were changed, no power saver settings were changed, nothing was changed. I just ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in terminal, walked away for hour, came back and correct password was entered five times attempting login and it wouldn't let me into desktop.

It would suck though if I was in middle of some very important work, and couldn't get back into desktop to finish the work and have to reboot/restart each time lol. I'm a Dell Optiplex 755 tower, 8GB ram, 1TB hard drive.

double check that you have successfully updated and are not in the middle
of the update cycle.

alt + ctrl + f4 and login

sudo apt update && sudo apt full upgrade

Any errors seen?

Hi and thanks for reply fossfreedom, I just did what you suggested to do. It's saying near end of it that AppStream cache update completed, but some metadata was ignored due to errors.
Reading package lists...Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information...Done
All packages are up to date.
E: Invalid operation full
user@mycomputer:~$

So I'm not sure if there was updating/upgrading still going on or not after walking away, because I wasn't here at computer to see what was going on with it/terminal. I would have thought an hour would have been plenty of time to get it all done haha. What you think I should do? Reinstall fresh again, and be here until it completes...or, don't matter now, or, there's chance this could happen again in future anyway...

if you run in a terminal budgie-desktop --version and it reports 10.2.9
then you are fully up to date. I would however expect after a fresh
install and a full upgrade odd things like you have observed because lots
and lots of system libraries and a full desktop upgrade has occurred.

Now that you have fully updated does the lock screen still stop you logging
in?

  I entered the password for the user account correct (as it didn't give

  acted as it was going to take me to desktop but didn't, kept me at
  login screen. I tried logging in a few times after that with correct

Thanks for quick reply back, and yeah you're right to expect some odd behaviors like that after full upgrades etc lol. After doing "budgie-desktop --version" in terminal it reads "budgie-desktop 10.2.9
Copyright 2014-2016 Ikey Doherty, Solus Project".

I haven't tested it again yet, cause I put power saver option to "never" and turned off that screen locker thing... plus I've been using the OS for installing softwares/progams, and testing movies out in VLC player. I'll have to reset those settings back again, if I remember what the defaults were lmao. And report back about it. I'm loving Ubuntu Budgie though, I've tested several Linux distros in past and I'm loving Budgie the most.

Would love to see some more Plank themes in it then though, like OS X /MAC style ones. Example: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7100/7182862089_e09a62f69b_b.jpg

Not sure which packages to install for it though.

Hello again, I put back the power saver option and screen lock option again just made whatever settings and played solitaire on other PC for 10 minutes... Just this time I get a switch user box /password box not regular login screen box etc.

I switched user "option" and it flickered a little and took me to regular login box, and entered password and it flickered again and took me straight to desktop. I haven't really done anything to this PC/tower after installing Budgie-Remix on it, so I might attempt another installation of it and see if it happens again after doing update/dist-upgrade...

Is it better to set up my own partitions with LVM/encryption or let it handle it itself through normal installation medium? I'd like to give 50GB to root, 8GB swap, 500MB for /boot and rest for /home and etc.

Anyway, I guess this "bug" can be marked "not a bug" or whatever. It's been a year or so since I last tried all those various linux distros, and being tired don't help, so sorry for all those offtopic questions too.

Just been racking the brain over windows 7 install issues and fed up with their windows 10 spying bullshit updates through windows 7 updates and weeding out which is to keep or which to heap, hence switching back to Linux Lol.

I've just reinstalled Budgie Remix again fresh and doing the update/ dist-upgrade and waiting for it to complete. I think last time I did install it, it set up the swap the size I wanted and root as well.. which is good.

I know one thing though, the screen flickers here and there, even during boot and have grey background color behind it.. and sometimes at login screen, or going to desktop from login screen. But probably not big deal. My wireless cheapo 8 dollar mouse is crap for sure, double clicks when only single clicking, opening multiple new tabs when I only clicked once.. I'll have to get new mouse, so hooked up back an old wired optical mouse for now. If I have more problems, I'll report back with new "bugs".. night...

huge swap space partitions are an oldish idea now. most distros now dont
use a separate swap partition. until recently ubuntu was one of the few
that still insisted on a swap partition. for zesty they are moving to a
swap file. max 2gb is size.

Personally I only create a home partition and leave the installer worrying
about everything else. I don't use LVM since this laptop is a home PC and
no issues with security here.

Sorry can't be more helpful about LVM matters.

Check if there are any graphics drivers to install via the additional
graphics screen. That may help.

Hi again, sorry for late reply, just been a busy day yesterday... And alright regarding the swap size and etc. When I reinstalled the 2nd time I just left the installer choose the recommended sizes for the partitions and such.

Regarding drivers, there's no graphics card installed, just basic ViewSonic VA903mb 19" monitor (VGA) resolution 1280x1024. The only thing listed under "Software & Updates" > Additional Drivers panel is "Unknown:Unknown
This device is not working.
Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary)
Do not use the device

The last one "Do not use the device" was selected by default. So I'm not sure which drivers I would need for the monitor or not, but don't believe I would need drivers for it.. Lol.

Just curious, you know of any decent wireless keyboard & mouse combos with unifying receiver that work good with Linux but 25.00 or under? lmao... I was looking at maybe 4 or 5 so far...

Logitech MK270
Logitech MK320
Logitech MK520
HP Wireless Classic Desktop Keyboard and mouse LV290AA#ABA

Was going by list here: http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Keyboards

Only have 25.00 to play with currently, sucks I know.. But tired of the wired mouse and keyboard.. Ugh. Off to bed, thanks for help and replies. :)

i have looked up the graphics card you have - its an integrated Q35 express
chipset - approx 13 or more years old!

I strongly suspect Mutter - which is the display manager - is falling back
to software rendering. Such an old graphics chipset as you have noticed
struggles with modern desktops. Probably better to look for a fairly cheap
nvidia card - look at the compatibility list on the nvidia 375 series
graphics driver

As long as the keyboard doesnt have lots and lots of specialised keyboard
controls - all of those should work with linux. Hate to say it - Google is
your friend ... if others have seen these work with any linux in the last
few years you should be more confident than just buying blind!

The window tearing could be a vsync issue - use raven and "disable
unredirect" - reboot and see  if that fixes the tearing.  Other than
that - its probably due to the software rendering of the elderly
graphics chip.

The card you have selected is an AMD model - its an older model around
2010 vintage - so much better than your current 13-15 year old model.
AMD itself does not support this older model - the opensource
community through its nouveau drivers does - but I don't myself have
any experience with AMD to say whether its a good or bad support.

Thanks for reply back, but was thinking about it lately, just easier to avoid Gnome distros I guess.. I don't have money, I can't keep affording to buy things just to make operating systems work for tower... when usually operating systems handle comparability for even older computers like mine. lol.

There's still tons and tons of older computers being refurbished, and sold, or given away to less fortunate people. My Dell Vostro was a donated PC from local business, it refurbish many computers and gave them away to those that mainly needed them. Most operating systems should be back compatible for older chipsets etc.

Guess I could just go with a KDE distro or regular Ubuntu and tweak it to be how I like... I can't keep going through headaches of trying to figure out and buy the right graphics cards etc. And still wouldn't have money to get keyboard and mouse. Thanks for your help though, but I guess I can't use Budgie-Remix after all.. unless I just use it and deal with some flickering at boot/login screen and page tearing, which I'm not sure how to do that "fix" you suggested anyway. I'm still a linux learner, even though I've tried various linux in past lol.

Either regular Unity/KDE distro I guess, or go back to Windows 7 again and keep looking through all Windows 7 updates one by one to get rid of upgrade to 10 nagware /spyware bullshit, or just throw in towel and lose the fight and upgrade to Windows 10 (full spy operating system) and be done with it. Guess it's price to pay for being a jobless /unemployable person with no money.. gotta give up something, in my case privacy.. Of course running Windows 10 is no different than showering or bathing nude in middle of town square so... lol

I'm back after trying Arch Linux for a while and getting hang of it, installing only what I want and using Gnome on it. I'm wondering if it's possible to use some xf86-video-intel, lib32-intel-dri, lib32-mesa, lib32-libgl, etc drivers with budgie and it work without flickering etc? When building the Arch how I wanted it and using gnome, I didn't have flickering with it..

early in February 16.04.2 release is available. this will come with the
latest stable kernal and graphics. it is worth testing with 16.10 if you
cannot wait to see if this resolves your issues.

Bug description:
  Hi all, first timer with Budgie Remix, I just installed it with LVM
  encryption on whole drive along with /home folder. I ran sudo update
  and sudo dist-update and walked away for about an hour to do
  something, came back and tried logging in at login screen and it
  didn't let me through to desktop.

  I entered the password for the user account correct (as it didn't give
  me an incorrect password message), hit enter or login button and it
  acted as it was going to take me to desktop but didn't, kept me at
  login screen. I tried logging in a few times after that with correct
  password and it did the same thing each time.

  It acted as if I was going to be taken into desktop, but ended up
  right back at login screen. So I just decided to reboot/restart
  computer, got to drive encryption password screen, entered the
  password, that worked. Got to login screen again, entered password
  again and then it worked.

thanks for reply back, I'll give 16.10 a try then... weird, when updating 16.04.1 it gave error about not being able to update the lightdm related stuff/lightdm greeter theme for budgie-remix. "The package system is broken.. check if you are using third party repositories. if so, disable them, since they are common source of problems.

crash report.. the application software updater has closed unexpectedly... send an error report to help fix this problem. but i can't remember where to choose to login with launchpad user/pass and have errors sent automatically to bug.launchpad here.

Reporting back, installed 16.10 budgie-remix and did the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal.. got this towards end of it...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.8.0-22-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin for module i915

I don't have i915 processor/chipset/etc...

Also, what's the terminal command to run to open bug reporting through /from Budgie-Remix desktop like Ubuntu does with Apport? "budgie-remix-bug" and hit enter? It be easier to login to launchpad from desktop here with username/password and just send reports directly as they are...

those warnings are fine - that is just the ubuntu kernel complaining -
doesnt have any impact.

use the report-bug option on the tracker -

oh okay, thanks fossfreedom... I'll just ignore those then. ;)

weird though that i lost the budgie-desktop /icons / plank /etc.. it's here, but not here or not the same i mean .. it was withheld doing "sudo apt-get upgrade" so i guess there's issue that need resolved first..

and alright, be nicer though to just do it via terminal /apport.. cause i'm not logged in on budgie-desktop for launchpad.. i'm on windows 7 on another tower so i have to resort to manually writing out the errors rather than just copy/paste from budgie tower/desktop lol. i guess i could login on there then and copy/paste..
