[Solved] "[OK] Reached target Graphical Interface" after login before getting booted back to the login screen


Hey all, semi-novice Linux user here.

I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE on a Lenovo with an Intel CPU and integrated GPU.

I was attempting to update my system today but kept getting the error referenced in this newsletter that I found after looking for the error online. I ran each command in the newsletter exactly as written and then rebooted my system.

After rebooting, I'm able to successfully get to the login screen and input my username/password but, instead of my desktop, logging in takes me to a command interface for about a second before reverting to the same login screen. The line in the title is the last entry shown in that command interface.

I've looked online for solutions but it doesn't seem like anyone with my same error is getting stuck on the login screen (most people seem to be stuck on Grub and are able to use e, ctrl+alt-F2, etc) and I'm just sorta lost on what to do at this point.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you to MyNameIsRichard for your help. It turns out that I needed to install plasma-x11-session as I am still an x11 user and a recent update made it necessary to install this package manually.

I saw a guy carrying a stack of board games in my neighborhood today


He must have been going to a party, he had catan, he had uno, and he had Scrabble way up at the top. His stack wasn't balanced very well though, and Scrabble fell, the box burst open, spilling tiles everywhere.

So I went up to him and asked, "what's the word on the street?"

Gaza Resistance op. sets APC ablaze, kills 7 soldiers inside english.almayadeen.net/news/po…

JWST has detected a potential Saturn-mass planet, TWA 7b, orbiting the young star TWA 7.

This discovery marks the first time a planet has been directly associated with sculpting a debris disc and could offer the first observational hint of a trojan disc.

The findings highlight Webb's ability to explore previously unseen, low-mass planets around nearby stars and open a new frontier for exoplanet discovery and characterization.

Of course it's me. I wanted to try out a new instance since the Fediverse is so different depending which instance you're using. I intended this to link to Amerika.org but apparently never did that in the profile, although I post Amerika content daily.

How you fellows been?

XPipe - A connection hub for all your servers: Status update for the v16 release


Today I can share a major development status update of XPipe, a connection hub that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local desktop. It can make your life easier when working with any kind of servers by eliminating all the commonly tedious tasks that come up when interacting with remote systems, either from the terminal or from a graphical interface. XPipe comes with integrations for SSH, docker and other containers, various hypervisors, and more without requiring setup on your remote systems. You can also keep using your favourite text/code editors, terminals, password managers, shells, command-line tools, and more with it.

Hub

Docker compose


This release introduces support for docker compose. Containers in compose projects are grouped together and can be managed all at the same time via compose project entries.

The container state information shown is also improved, always showing the container state in combination with the system information.

Compose

Batch mode


There is now a batch mode available that allows you to select multiple systems via checkboxes and perform actions for the entire batch. This can include starting/stopping, automatically adding available subconnections, or running scripts on all selected systems.

You can toggle the batch mode in the top left corner.

Batch

Password managers


The password manager integrations have been upgraded:
- There is now support for KeePassXC
- All password manager integrations have been reworked to work out of the box without configuration
- There is now support to use password manager SSH agents more easily
- You can now unlock the xpipe vault with your password manager

Password Manager

SSH


Various improvements were made to the SSH implementation:
- The SSH gateway implementation has been reworked so that you can now use local SSH keys and other identities for connections with gateways
- The VSCode SSH remote integration has been reworked to allow more connections it to be opened in vscode. It now supports essentially all simple SSH connections, custom SSH connections, SSH config connections, and VM SSH connections. This support includes gateways
- There is now built-in support to refresh an SSO openpubkey with the opkssh tool when needed
- There is now the option to enable verbose ssh output to diagnose connection issues better
- For VMs, you can now choose to not use the hypervisor host as SSH gateway and instead directly connect to the VM IP

Other


  • Connection names, e.g. VM names, will now automatically update on refresh when they were changed
  • You can now launch custom scripts within XPipe with a command output dialog window without having to open a terminal
  • Various installation types like the linux apt/rpm repository and homebrew installations now support automatic updates as well
  • The k8s integration will now automatically add all namespaces for the current context when searching for connections
  • The application window will now hide any unnecessary sidebars when being resized to a small width. This makes it much easier to use XPipe in a tiling window arrangement
  • The webtop has been updated to have terminal multiplexers, proper konsole tab support, disabled kwallet, and more
  • Various error messages and connection creation dialogs now contain a help link to the documentation sections


A note on the open-source model


Since it has come up a few times, in addition to the note in the git repository, I would like to clarify that XPipe is not fully FOSS software. The core that you can find on GitHub is Apache 2.0 licensed, but the distribution you download ships with closed-source extensions. There's also a licensing system in place with limitations on what kind of systems you can connect to in the community edition as I am trying to make a living out of this. I understand that this is a deal-breaker for some, so I wanted to give a heads-up.

Outlook


If this project sounds interesting to you, you can check it out on GitHub, visit the Website, or check out the Docs for more information.

Enjoy!

Are there any plans to make a Flatpak version of this? I've moved to an immutable OS and none of the options you have will install. Flatpaks are their preferred method. I know I could self host my own version which may be what I may end up doing anyway, but I'd prefer to have it more local yet another docker container. 😀

Edit: I just went with the Appimage which works.

But if it's people donating to you, then there's no issue.

I heard people talking about this way back when PayPal started pulling this shit.
H-Manga site admins gave this recommendation.

Support the work of Ohio Valley Mutual Aid:

"Over the past week, hundreds of volunteers rallied together to mud out homes after Wheeling’s catastrophic flooding.

Through rain and heat, they’ve pulled out thousands of pounds of mud, truckloads of debris, and countless precious belongings from over 100 houses. This is the power of people.

We sent teams to help the Ohio Valley on day one and we’ll keep doing it until all needs have been met. Through community, we can build back better, stronger, and more connected.

Join the movement - follow along with @/ovmutual aid to find out about volunteer opportunities."

The details are scant, but the key to the US claiming Iran's nuclear capacity has been severely damaged is by claiming Iran's (de)conversion plant was destroyed. What is that?

I talked a bit about the ~400kg of 60% enriched uranium that Iran has on hand. As far as we know this uranium is still in the gaseous uranium fluoride form used to enrich it, probably in metal gas canisters. They probably want to leave it like that if they want to enrich it further.

Otherwise, they need to convert it.

in reply to Jessica Rooster

In general, to build something useful (like a reactor or god forbid a bomb), they would want to convert it into the metal form. This is what a conversion plant does. I've always heard conversion meaning uranium oxide solids to uranium fluoride gases, and the reverse process as DEconvesion, but that's semantics.

Iran has a conversion plant in Isfahan, which was heavily damaged in the most recent attacks (edit: Isfahan facilities were heavily damaged, I don't know about the conversion plant itself). So if it was destroyed, it would probably prevent them from converting the gaseous enriched uranium to a solid form.

Much like enrichment plants, conversion plants are very large chemical plants, and I imagine the chance of them having a domestic hidden one to be fairly low.

The simple solution is trying it and not posting it because Halo (presumably) doesn't have any spyware on our systems. That aside, I for one am not playing it because of live service fatigue, and no amount of Uma Musume being more forgiving than others will make me want to play another gacha.
The only gacha I still have downloaded with is one I keep up with so I know when the end of service is for me to celebrate.

If there were a proper Uma Musume game (that isn't a minigame collection) and I might give it a shot.
