@ringo32 No effect.

Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos folders not showing in the quick shortcut list in the file manager for gnome.

Desktop, Documents, Public and Templates still fine and show up.

Interesting secondary problem, firefox with default download location just drops files in /home/name

@bryanpwo solved… somehow by 2 transformers blowing up down the street…

lost power then system came back up as expected…

this shouldn’t be possible…

@bryanpwo yes, my problem is on LTS kernel, unable to use mainstream kernel as ZFS wont compile for it due to some dependancy issue during compile.

Can get to login fine, enter my info, then fade to black with a movable cursor…

If I try to log in using another tty, nothing shows for 2 minutes where I then get info about lightdm being blocked.

NFO: task lightdm::5937 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
     Tanited: P          C 0    4.14.65-1-lts #1
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Using LTS kernel.

What is your GPU card then?

Nvidia 8600 GT

@joekamprad New Hardware is new Mobo, CPU, and RAM. all Storage is moved over from old system (Except a new NVME which new mobo supports).

ZFS is known to me. i’ve been using it for about 2 years now.

failing lightDM likely a graphic issue, so i need to chroot in and reinstall nvidia drivers.

Just did a new install on new hardware, and am unable to create a working install that gets me to a desktop. It’s a ZFS install (tried with ext4) as well and same problem).

Currently unable to get to a desktop.

First thing that pops up is ZFS modules unable to load. After that it tries to load LightDM multiple times failing each time. Next it continues loading as usual then starts doing 2 at once (update man-db database & update locate database).

Six minutes later when all that finishes, screen clears with just blinking cursor in upper left corner of display.

forcing all deps to be reinstalled for deluge worked

that’s spooky, but ok.

ufw doesn’t install it’s binary at /sbin folder but at /usr (i guess an old version did since i have it at both /sbin and /usr) .

Is there a ufw binary at /usr/bin?
check with:
ls /usr/bin |grep ufw

if so, you can simlynk the file (which is a very bad solution but i don’t know what’s going on here)
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ufw /usr/sbin/ufw

OR you can simply run ufw with:
/usr/bin/ufw

/usr/bin/ufw contains

gufw
gufw-pkexec
ufw

Symlink worked

@fernandomaroto

no listed dependencies were out of date for either, forcing all deps to be reinstalled for deluge worked but gufw still has the same problem FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/sbin/ufw': '/usr/sbin/ufw' cannot start still via terminal or gnome.
