| Neil3 | hey folks, having a strange issue in xubuntu with xfce's compositor turned on, with the display 'tearing' when I move windows, watch video etc. I'm running karmic and my graphics chip is an intel 945gm | 09:38 |
| Neil3 | wondering if anyone has any ideas? I've tried looking for a sync to vblank setting in the compositor but i can't find anything, tried using driconf and also xvattr, which shows vblank syncing as enabled and my refresh rate detected properly | 09:40 |
| TheSheep | do you also get it with metacity? | 09:45 |
| Neil3 | not as much | 09:48 |
| Neil3 | do you mean metacity as in xfwm with compositing turned off? | 09:48 |
| TheSheep | metacity as in gnome's window manager | 09:49 |
| Neil3 | ah i don't have gnome installed, only xfce | 09:49 |
| Neil3 | but i did switch from ubuntu, and can't say i noticed it | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | I'm just wondering if it's xfce's fault | 09:49 |
| Neil3 | that was with compiz though, i didn't really use metacity | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | or if the fault is somewhere with the new inte drivers | 09:50 |
| TheSheep | intel* | 09:50 |
| * Neil3 nods | 09:52 | |
| Neil3 | I did a bit of digging around and found some mention of this issue in xfce's compositor but with nvidia drivers, not intel | 09:52 |
| bjorkintosh | is there a trick to sorting icons on the xubuntu desktop? | 09:53 |
| Neil3 | just had a mess about with it again - it's definitely more noticeable with compositing turned on | 09:54 |
| bjorkintosh | i see nothing under desktop settings or properties. | 09:55 |
| TheSheep | bjorkintosh: you can't do it | 09:58 |
| TheSheep | bjorkintosh: personally I just put the launchers on my panel and keep the desktop empty | 09:58 |
| bjorkintosh | why is that so hard to do? | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | bjorkintosh: because xfce is written by only a handful of programmers in their free time | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | bjorkintosh: and there are more important things to fix | 10:00 |
| Neil3 | brb gonna try something | 10:00 |
| TheSheep | bjorkintosh: in the next major release of xfce the desktop will use the same code as Thunar, so it will have sorting and everythig | 10:01 |
| TheSheep | bjorkintosh: but that will probably not get included in xubuntu until autumn | 10:01 |
| bjorkintosh | i'm running lucid | 10:01 |
| bjorkintosh | so hopefully, i'll see it before then. | 10:01 |
| bjorkintosh | thanks for the info, TheSheep. | 10:07 |
| bjorkintosh | i thought i wasn't rtfm-ing closely enough at first. | 10:07 |
| Neil3 | well i just tried forcing vblank sync in /etc/drirc and restarting x - still tearing when compositing is enabled | 10:08 |
| TheSheep | !bugs | Neil3 | 10:11 |
| ubottu | Neil3: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 10:11 |
| TheSheep | Neil3: can't really help otherwise | 10:11 |
| Neil3 | thanks for looking into it TheSheep, it seems its either the intel driver ignoring me or xfce ignoring the driver settings | 10:12 |

| pog | is there a nice file-manager for xfce, or an extention to thunar, so that sftp:/ (ftp, smb) can be used. | 16:51 |
| Sysi | filezilla is pretty nice, i'm not sure if thunar is able to handle remote connections | 16:52 |
| pog | I like xubuntu, it runs also rather good under qemu. | 16:52 |
| pog | actually I also tried nautilus (under lxde), but die extentions seem to work only under gnome. | 16:54 |
| knome | pog, thunar 1.1.0 supports sftp:// | 16:58 |
| pog | which mail-client do you use under xfce? | 16:59 |
| knome | pog, https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ppa | 16:59 |
| pog | ah... knome | 16:59 |
| knome | i use thunderbird since it can provide all the features i need | 17:00 |
| pog | strange under ubuntu 9.10 there is tunar 1.0.1. | 17:04 |
| pog | thanks for the hint for upgrading to tunar 1.1.0 | 17:10 |

| Cretin | hi! im trying to use vnc to connect to my headless ubuntu server. i installed xfce4 as the envirnment and my xstartup is" xfce4-session &" but i get a dbus error when i connect to the display. help? | 20:05 |
| TheSheep | what error exactly? did you try googling it? | 20:07 |
| Cretin | yes | 20:08 |
| Cretin | error connecting to contact settings server | 20:08 |
| Cretin | and it was a connection refused | 20:08 |
| Cretin | when the xstartup is "startxfce4" theres no error, but no xfce on the display. i always just see an X cursor on a blank screen | 20:11 |
| TheSheep | anything in .xsessionerrors ? | 20:12 |
| Cretin | yes | 20:14 |
| Cretin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/365844/ | 20:14 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: well, it looks self-explanatory | 20:15 |
| Cretin | then please explain | 20:15 |
| Cretin | i can start vncserver as sudo | 20:16 |
| Cretin | *cant | 20:16 |
| Cretin | can i change the permission of that file safely? | 20:18 |
| TheSheep | it's complaining that it cannot write to the /home/ben directory | 20:19 |
| TheSheep | are you running it as ben? | 20:19 |
| Cretin | yes | 20:19 |
| TheSheep | is that directory owned by ben? | 20:19 |
| Cretin | yes | 20:20 |
| Cretin | i changed the files permissions | 20:20 |
| Cretin | same error | 20:20 |
| TheSheep | can you do 'ls -ald /home/ben' and pastebin the result? | 20:20 |
| Cretin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/365a848/ | 20:21 |
| Cretin | the xsession-errors hasnt updated | 20:21 |
| Cretin | http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/12/13/vnc-to-a-headless-ubuntu-box.aspx | 20:23 |
| Cretin | thats the tutorial ive been using, but with xfce4 instead of gnome | 20:23 |
| Cretin | and without xrdb or xsetroot. should i do it differently? | 20:23 |
| Cretin | TheSheep: just a friendly ping | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist. | 20:31 |
| TheSheep | hmmm | 20:31 |
| Cretin | TheSheep: http://paste.ubuntu.com/365853/ | 20:38 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: I think that xrdb may be needed | 20:39 |
| Cretin | i wasnt sure if it was gnome specific. ill try it | 20:39 |
| TheSheep | hmm.. if you don't have an .Xresources file, it's actually not needed | 20:41 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 20:41 |
| Cretin | nope. still "unable to contact settings server" "failed to cnnect to socket /tmp/dbus-BPNrXcW483: connection refused" | 20:41 |
| TheSheep | does that server have dbus installed? | 20:43 |
| Cretin | ive never installed it | 20:43 |
| Cretin | or heard of it | 20:43 |
| Cretin | but i thought since it was refused over timed out, idk. | 20:44 |
| Cretin | dbus is already installed | 20:45 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: did you try xinit? | 20:49 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: also, make sure the dbus is actually running: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start | 20:51 |
| Cretin | * system message bus already started; not starting. | 20:51 |
| TheSheep | hmm... | 20:52 |
| Cretin | and changed the .vnc/xstartup to "xinit &" | 20:52 |
| Cretin | still gray background with X cursor, no error | 20:52 |
| TheSheep | what if you put in that startxfce4 in .xinitrc | 20:57 |
| TheSheep | ? | 20:57 |
| Cretin | TheSheep: my home doesnt have a .xinit.rc | 21:00 |
| Cretin | .xinitrc | 21:00 |
| dbdii407 | Okay. I'm having issues with my Wireless Logitech mouse. After some time, I can't click anywhere | 21:01 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: create it | 21:04 |
| TheSheep | dbdii407: anything related in dmesg | 21:04 |
| TheSheep | dbdii407: ? | 21:04 |
| dbdii407 | Sorry. I don't know what that is. | 21:04 |
| TheSheep | dbdii407: open a terminal, type 'dmesg | tail' and pastebin the result | 21:05 |
| TheSheep | (after your mouse stopped working, that is) | 21:05 |
| dbdii407 | That'll be a while | 21:05 |
| dbdii407 | Unknow amount of time. A month? | 21:05 |
| dbdii407 | Unknown* | 21:06 |
| Cretin | TheSheep: xstartup is "xinit &" .xinitrc is "startxfce4" and still no change, but no error either | 21:06 |
| Cretin | and when .xinitrc is "xfce4-session" theres still no error, which is different than having it in xstartup | 21:07 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: ah, I think it should be 'start xfce4-session' | 21:11 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: sorry | 21:11 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: not start, exec | 21:12 |
| TheSheep | Cretin: 'exec xfce4-session' | 21:12 |
| TheSheep | dbdii407: maybe its battery died? | 21:15 |
| dbdii407 | Nope | 21:15 |
| dbdii407 | I can still use it | 21:15 |
| dbdii407 | I just can't /click/ | 21:15 |
| TheSheep | that's strange | 21:15 |
| TheSheep | so it happens about once a month? | 21:16 |
| dbdii407 | Sometimes a week too | 21:16 |
| Cretin | TheSheep: | 21:17 |
| Cretin | still nothing | 21:17 |
| Cretin | no error either | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 21:18 |
| TheSheep | dbdii407: I'd google for it, and if no solution, wait for it to happen and check all possible logs: dmesg, lsusb, xev, xidump | 21:20 |
| dbdii407 | I've already googled this for over than 6 months. | 21:21 |
| dbdii407 | But I'll keep that in mind | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | actually only dmesg is a log in there, the rest are utility programs for checking your input devices | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | you also might want to check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:22 |
