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] Does it mean that I have to install a driver, for example using : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/05/intel-linux-graphics-driver-installer-1-0-5 [19:51] or is there any workaround ? [19:52] I'm using Processing 2.2.1 for 32bits on Lubuntu, of course ! [19:53] janolap1: sounds like the i915 driver (or the hardware itself) doesn't support that GL that it's trying to use [19:53] janolap1: have a read of http://forum.processing.org/one/topic/p3d-issues-with-ubuntu-13-04-and-processing-2-0-2.html [19:53] janolap1: 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. [19:54] Result : Kernel driver in use: i915 [19:54] yeah so you have the driver. [19:55] janolap1: 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] janolap1: if they are, they're likely proprietary and will be problematic in terms of support, maintainence, etc. [19:55] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [19:56] oh maybe you need to add -vn [19:56] there should be something like [xxxx:yyyy] where x and y are alphanumeric values [19:56] 00:02.0 0300: 8086:2772 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [19:56] 8086:2772 [19:59] Ok, 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/p1 [20:00] I'm trying this first... === IdleOne- is now known as IdleOne [22:15] hey there [22:15] I'm having issues with my Lubuntu installation, can anyone help me? [22:16] 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 normally [22:22] Hey MnstH, still there? Guess it's up to me to try... [22:22] sure, query? [22:22] Okay, something you can try is to hit Ctrl-alt-T to open a terminal, then type in lxpanel [22:23] (I'm looking at a web page reporting a similar problem, if that step works then we've gotten somewhere at least) [22:23] MnstH: did you log into openbox [22:23] I guess I logged into LXDE (?) [22:23] does right clicking on the desktop do anything [22:24] ianorlin: no [22:24] it's just the wallpaper with a mouse cursor [22:24] right clicks etc. do nothing [22:24] I have read at least 30 threads now but some have really funky suggestions so I guess I want to start small [22:25] And Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't bring up terminal? [22:25] MnstH: try hitting control alt f1 [22:26] I 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 guest [22:26] so far I have: try to open console with either Ctrl + Alt + T or + F1 (whichever works), then try "startx" or "lxpanel" [22:26] can you log out and make sure you are logged into the lubuntu session? [22:26] and then some sites suggested to revert the lxsession settings to default [22:26] MnstH: It's fine, just hitting Ctrl-alt-T or Ctrl-Alt-F1 won't do anything permanent, nor will running lxpanel [22:27] MnstH: (whoops sorry I didn't read your message right, ignore me) [22:27] well, I can't be trying it out and chat with you guys, hence why I said I wanted to gather a few ideas first [22:27] :) [22:28] so, anything else I should try in case none of the above works? [22:29] then I'll try and come back [22:29] MnstH: 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 news [22:30] the thread suggested deleting ".configs/lxsession/Lubuntu" for my profile (if I manage to access it) [22:30] .config [22:31] I wonder what caused this anyway... since this guest account will load everything just fine [22:31] :( [22:32] MnstH: 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] MnstH: Wait, so does starting lxpanel or startx from terminal work? i.e. bring back the desktop temporarily [22:32] MnstH: Because if it does you'll have no problem accessing those locations [22:32] testdr: thanks, that sounds reasonable [22:33] explodingmango: I will try those out now [22:33] ok, see you in a bit [22:34] MnstH: good luck! [22:48] well... that didn't work... [22:49] I 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] and now, whenever I want to login into my regular account, it "loads something" and then bounces back to the login screen [22:50] explodingmango ianorlin testdr [22:50] MnstH: in the login-screen -> press strg+alt+F1 -> in the text-console login with your account and mv the .config to .config_old [22:51] also, when I login to the guest account, it comes up with an error box that reads "No session for pid 1671" [22:51] but everything else works [22:52] MnstH: did you do what i said? Go to text-console with strg+alt+F1 or strg+alt+F2 there login and rename the directory .config [22:53] from the guest account/now? [22:53] no - go to the kitchen and try it from there ... -- are we not speaking about your computer? [22:54] ... [22:54] hey hey. When you hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 it'll ask you to login via text, even if you're already logged in as guest [22:54] MnstH: Do you not know what pressing strg+alt+F1 is? [22:54] I do, I used it earlier [22:55] I was just wondering if I needed to do anything afterwards that would require me to login (attempt) to the other account [22:55] I 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 yet [22:56] yeah [22:56] sec [22:56] By 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 times [22:56] yeah, it's F7 [22:57] ok testdr, done [22:58] MnstH: was? .config umbenannt? [22:58] ja [22:59] MnstH: then switch again to gui-login with strg+alt+F7 and try your account [22:59] ok, sec [23:03] hello. 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 tray [23:05] does xfce4-power-manager daemon logs things somewhere [23:05] ? [23:08] Sorry, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't know. [23:08] However, does this mean anything to you? [23:08] [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) [23:09] Hm, not sure. It does show the icon when I start it with --no-daemon [23:10] also, when I start it as a daemon xfce4-power-manager-settings doesn't work -- while it does work with --no-daemon [23:14] Uh, this is a really dumb shot in the dark for me: does anything show up in dmesg regarding it? [23:16] hm, it doesn't look like it, unfortunately :( [23:17] Ah, quote "There also might be some useful information in the ~/.xsession-errors log file." [23:18] hm, nothing :( I wonder why something like that could happen. I will try to execute --no-daemon in background :P [23:19] Yea :/ This might be the same bug here but they never found a resolution: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40180 [23:22] Another quote from another web page: Trying sudo xfce4-power-manager --dump does nothing for a minute or so, then gives me the following message: ... [23:23] Same 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 whatever [23:25] yes, that's what I am thinking on doing as well :P [23:25] let's not fight the current :) [23:25] Yea, diminishing returns [23:27] or 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-broken [23:27] aflag: Fwiw, LP bug 1347272, too.
