janolap1Hi there, I'm trying to use Processing to create some visual effects. But I have this message : libEGL warning: failed to create a pipe screen for i915  Smooth is not supported by this hardware (or driver)19:49
janolap1Does it mean that I have to install a driver, for example using : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/05/intel-linux-graphics-driver-installer-1-0-519:49
janolap1or is there any workaround ?19:51
janolap1I'm using Processing 2.2.1 for 32bits on Lubuntu, of course !19:52
wxljanolap1: sounds like the i915 driver (or the hardware itself) doesn't support that GL that it's trying to use19:53
phillwjanolap1: have a read of http://forum.processing.org/one/topic/p3d-issues-with-ubuntu-13-04-and-processing-2-0-2.html19:53
wxljanolap1: if `lspci -vvnn | grep i915` pops up something, you have the driver already installed. you can see if there's a different driver available, but i doubt it. i would hit up the processing folks.19:53
janolap1Result : Kernel driver in use: i91519:54
wxlyeah so you have the driver.19:54
wxljanolap1: you can use `lspci | grep -i VGA` to get the device ID and google it for other drivers, but it's doubtful they're out there.19:55
wxljanolap1: if they are, they're likely proprietary and will be problematic in terms of support, maintainence, etc.19:55
janolap100:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)19:55
wxloh maybe you need to add -vn19:56
wxlthere should be something like [xxxx:yyyy] where x and y are alphanumeric values19:56
janolap100:02.0 0300: 8086:2772 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])19:56
wxl8086:277219:56
janolap1Ok, I have the solution using an old Processing version... which seems to use old OpenGL... http://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/7134/failing-to-draw-with-opengl-lighting-under-ubuntu-14-hp-compaq/p119:59
janolap1I'm trying this first...20:00

MnstHhey there22:15
MnstHI'm having issues with my Lubuntu installation, can anyone help me?22:15
MnstH I installed a few updates earlier (like most days), and now, whenever I want to log into my account, I get a blank wallpaper and a mouse icon, the desktop won't load... when I log in as guest, it works normally22:16
explodingmangoHey MnstH, still there? Guess it's up to me to try...22:22
MnstHsure, query?22:22
explodingmangoOkay, something you can try is to hit Ctrl-alt-T to open a terminal, then type in lxpanel22:22
explodingmango(I'm looking at a web page reporting a similar problem, if that step works then we've gotten somewhere at least)22:23
ianorlinMnstH: did you log into openbox22:23
MnstHI guess I logged into LXDE (?)22:23
ianorlindoes right clicking on the desktop do anything22:23
MnstHianorlin: no22:24
MnstHit's just the wallpaper with a mouse cursor22:24
MnstHright clicks etc. do nothing22:24
MnstHI have read at least 30 threads now but some have really funky suggestions so I guess I want to start small22:24
explodingmangoAnd Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't bring up terminal?22:25
ianorlinMnstH: try hitting control alt f122:25
MnstHI have yet to try... I wanted to gather a few suggestions before I try them all out... I'm on the same machine currently, as a guest22:26
MnstHso far I have: try to open console with either Ctrl + Alt + T or + F1 (whichever works), then try "startx" or "lxpanel"22:26
ianorlincan you log out and make sure you are logged into the lubuntu session?22:26
MnstHand then some sites suggested to revert the lxsession settings to default22:26
explodingmangoMnstH: It's fine, just hitting Ctrl-alt-T or Ctrl-Alt-F1 won't do anything permanent, nor will running lxpanel22:26
explodingmangoMnstH: (whoops sorry I didn't read your message right, ignore me)22:27
MnstHwell, I can't be trying it out and chat with you guys, hence why I said I wanted to gather a few ideas first22:27
MnstH:)22:27
MnstHso, anything else I should try in case none of the above works?22:28
MnstHthen I'll try and come back22:29
explodingmangoMnstH: Well if reverting your settings requires deleting folders or files, make sure you back em up and know where to put them back if you need to undo your changes, I guess. Sorry if this is old news22:29
MnstHthe thread suggested deleting ".configs/lxsession/Lubuntu" for my profile (if I manage to access it)22:30
MnstH.config22:30
MnstHI wonder what caused this anyway... since this guest account will load everything just fine22:31
MnstH:(22:31
testdrMnstH: you should not delete (rm) it - you should rename it - you can even rename the whole   ".config" directory to for example:   mv    .config   .config_old     then you still have it to recover things from it.22:32
explodingmangoMnstH: Wait, so does starting lxpanel or startx from terminal work? i.e. bring back the desktop temporarily22:32
explodingmangoMnstH: Because if it does you'll have no problem accessing those locations22:32
MnstHtestdr: thanks, that sounds reasonable22:32
MnstHexplodingmango: I will try those out now22:33
MnstHok, see you in a bit22:33
explodingmangoMnstH: good luck!22:34
MnstHwell... that didn't work...22:48
MnstHI can only open the console with the "+ F1" combination... if I try "startx", my screen just goes black... if I try "lxpanel", I get the error "(lxpanel:1744): Gtk-WARNING**: cannot open display:"22:49
MnstHand now, whenever I want to login into my regular account, it "loads something" and then bounces back to the login screen22:49
MnstHexplodingmango ianorlin testdr22:50
testdrMnstH: in the login-screen ->  press   strg+alt+F1 -> in the text-console login  with your account and     mv   the   .config    to   .config_old22:50
MnstHalso, when I login to the guest account, it comes up with an error box that reads "No session for pid 1671"22:51
MnstHbut everything else works22:51
testdrMnstH:  did you do what i said?  Go to text-console with   strg+alt+F1    or     strg+alt+F2        there login  and rename the directory   .config22:52
MnstHfrom the guest account/now?22:53
testdrno - go to the kitchen and try it from there ... -- are we not speaking about your computer?22:53
MnstH...22:54
explodingmangohey hey. When you hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 it'll ask you to login via text, even if you're already logged in as guest22:54
testdrMnstH: Do you not know what pressing    strg+alt+F1   is?22:54
MnstHI do, I used it earlier22:54
MnstHI was just wondering if I needed to do anything afterwards that would require me to login (attempt) to the other account22:55
explodingmangoI guess after all's said and done you can go back and login from GUI, but right now I think everything's gonna happen in the Ctrl-Alt-F1 terminal so it won't matter yet22:55
MnstHyeah22:56
MnstHsec22:56
explodingmangoBy the way, to go back to GUI is Ctrl-Alt-F7, at least on my computer. Maybe you already know it, but it's caught me off guard enough times22:56
MnstHyeah, it's F722:56
MnstHok testdr, done22:57
testdrMnstH: was? .config umbenannt?22:58
MnstHja22:58
testdrMnstH: then switch again to gui-login with    strg+alt+F7   and try your account22:59
MnstHok, sec22:59
aflaghello. I'm having a problem with xfce4-power-manager. If I start it with --no-daemon all works, the battery icon shows up and everything. However, if I start it with no parameters nothing happens. The daemon runs, but no icon shows up on my tray23:03
aflagdoes xfce4-power-manager daemon logs things somewhere23:05
aflag?23:05
explodingmangoSorry, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't know.23:08
explodingmangoHowever, does this mean anything to you?23:08
explodingmango[2014-10-29 17:40] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] :: Xfce Power Manager no longer provides a tray icon. [2014-10-29 17:40] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET]    Please add the new Power Manager Plugin to your panel. [2014-10-29 17:40] [PACMAN] upgraded xfce4-power-manager (1.2.0.212.g75107db-1 -> 1.4.1-2)23:08
aflagHm, not sure. It does show the icon when I start it with --no-daemon23:09
aflagalso, when I start it as a daemon xfce4-power-manager-settings doesn't work -- while it does work with --no-daemon23:10
explodingmangoUh, this is a really dumb shot in the dark for me: does anything show up in dmesg regarding it?23:14
aflaghm, it doesn't look like it, unfortunately :(23:16
explodingmangoAh, quote "There also might be some useful information in the ~/.xsession-errors log file."23:17
aflaghm, nothing :( I wonder why something like that could happen. I will try to execute --no-daemon in background :P23:18
explodingmangoYea :/ This might be the same bug here but they never found a resolution: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4018023:19
explodingmangoAnother quote from another web page: Trying sudo xfce4-power-manager --dump does nothing for a minute or so, then gives me the following message: ...23:22
explodingmangoSame pages suggests what I think you said you'd try, to disable the power manager on startup and add your own startup entry for power manager --no-daemon or whatever23:23
aflagyes, that's what I am thinking on doing as well :P23:25
aflaglet's not fight the current :)23:25
explodingmangoYea, diminishing returns23:25
explodingmangoor whatever. Long as it works, seems to have worked for the answerer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/129671/how-can-i-workaround-the-xfce4-power-manager-being-broken23:27
krytarikaflag: Fwiw, LP bug 1347272, too.23:27

aflagwell, maybe some day someone will get it fixed :) Thanks for all the attention, you guys. I will try to login again and see if my hack worked :)23:30
aflagfyi, it worked :)23:32
explodingmangoSweet23:32
