| Orbit | hey Lubuntu won't let me switch drivers, and im tryin to use OBS | 05:01 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Orbit: obs, from the obs ppa? | 05:01 |
| Orbit | and i read that my driver has problems with Lubuntu and every fix I see, i try and it just generates errors | 05:01 |
| Orbit | yeah | 05:01 |
| holstein | Orbit: your GPU drivers? | 05:02 |
| Orbit | Can't find a source to download version '2:14.201-0ubuntu2.1' of 'fglrx-updates:amd64 | 05:02 |
| Orbit | i just go to "additional drivers" | 05:02 |
| holstein | Orbit: that will not be particular to lubuntu, or lxde.. that will be related to main ubuntu and the kernel | 05:02 |
| holstein | !amd | 05:02 |
| Orbit | oh | 05:02 |
| holstein | !ati | 05:02 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:02 |
| Orbit | sorry, i was in that room but they're busy | 05:02 |
| holstein | it can be, the hardware you have, if its amd, doesnt support linux well | 05:03 |
| holstein | and, they (amd) dont provide 3d support to you in linux | 05:03 |
| Orbit | honestly everything was working fine until today | 05:03 |
| holstein | Orbit: until you wanted to use obs? with 3d? | 05:03 |
| Orbit | no not 3d | 05:03 |
| holstein | obs requires 3d support | 05:03 |
| Orbit | it's just my stream was completely black, but sound worked | 05:03 |
| Orbit | i read someone else had the same problem and fixed it by using a different driver so I tried that and now OBS just crashes where as it worked before... now i can't select the original driver i had been using | 05:04 |
| holstein | Orbit: if someone else has suggested a fix, i would ask them, and make sure they have the *same* hardware | 05:04 |
| holstein | you can always specify the driver... you can look and see if the amd driver has created an xorg.conf you can remove.. | 05:05 |
| Orbit | can i ask how i'd do that | 05:05 |
| Orbit | do you have any idea why it wouldn't let me use the driver i was originally using? considering it was working i dont' see the problem | 05:06 |
| holstein | Orbit: i would look and see if one has been created.. | 05:06 |
| Orbit | okay bear with me, where would i look for that? | 05:06 |
| holstein | !xorg | 05:06 |
| ubottu | X.Org is an implementation of the X Windows System, and is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart it on an Ubuntu system, type 'sudo service lightdm restart'. To fix screen resolution or other X.Org problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . See also !xorgconf | 05:06 |
| Orbit | sorry | 05:10 |
| Orbit | i didn't realize what you sent me would restart everything, i fyou said anything after the command i sent, I didn't get it | 05:10 |
| holstein | you'll have to reboot, the linux kernel, to change GPU drivers, like you are trying to do | 05:11 |
| Orbit | well i already rebooted just now | 05:11 |
| Orbit | it's still selecting the second driver, i need the first one to be selected the x.org X server one | 05:12 |
| holstein | sure.. go for it.. or, you can remove the driver you installed, in another package manager | 05:12 |
| Orbit | it just keeps switching back to the second one but obs is running now | 05:13 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-proprietary-ati-drivers for exmaple, | 05:13 |
| Orbit | maybe it is working right | 05:13 |
| Orbit | im always afraid to remove stuff :P, seems everytime I do I break something unintentionally | 05:13 |
| Orbit | but thank you | 05:13 |
| holstein | Orbit: you'l want to do this independent of OSB.. stop running/starting osb, get the driver you want.. make sure its stable.. then deal with obs | 05:13 |
| holstein | Orbit: you are asking how to remove stuff.. though | 05:14 |
| Orbit | right | 05:14 |
| Orbit | i just tested it to see if it worked since that's how this whole mess got started | 05:14 |
| holstein | you should be more afraid of adding stuff ;) | 05:14 |
| Orbit | fair enough | 05:14 |
| holstein | anuyways... if you want the driver gone, that UI you are using, that you are not able to use is just one way | 05:14 |
| Orbit | oh hey the stream works now too O_o | 05:15 |
| Orbit | i don't get it but... if it works, good deal | 05:15 |
| holstein | i dont think that was related.. | 05:15 |
| Orbit | probably not | 05:16 |
| Orbit | btw what video card would you recommend? | 05:16 |
| holstein | well, ideally, i would recommend buying the hardware from a place that promises support for the operating system you want to use.. if thats a linux operating system, a linux reseller such as system76 would sell, and support the hardware for linux | 05:17 |
| Orbit | yeah i got a new video card last year from some repair shop cause mine wasn't working right | 05:18 |
| holstein | oh, i have as well.. i got one for $12, used.. dual head.. nvidia.. | 05:19 |
| Orbit | nvidia is what I USED to have | 05:19 |
| holstein | but, i knew, going in, for 12 bucks, i would be able to give that away, to a windows user, and not lose much | 05:19 |
| holstein | otherwise, i try, and i save reciepts, and i make sure i can return.. becuase *i* have to be able to provide support for the device in linux | 05:20 |
| Orbit | right | 05:21 |
| Orbit | well to be fair, as I said it was working until today | 05:21 |
| holstein | ? | 05:21 |
| Orbit | but im going to try the instructions on this page, thanks | 05:21 |
| holstein | sure.. i have ati card right here, in this laptop | 05:22 |
| Orbit | okay this is different "error processing package fglrx-updates (--purge): | 05:22 |
| Orbit | package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should | 05:22 |
| Orbit | reinstall it before attempting a removal | 05:22 |

| Orbit | package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should | 05:22 |
| Orbit | reinstall it before attempting a removal | 05:22 |
| holstein | its a compromise, for sure.. | 05:22 |

| holstein | so, you dont have the driver installed properly, it seems.. but, iwould just leave well enough alone, Orbit , if obs is working as you want.. and the system is stable | 05:23 |
| Orbit | well the update manager was having a fit about the proprietary drivers | 05:24 |
| Orbit | okay i need to restart again i guess | 05:24 |
| holstein | i wouldnt | 05:25 |
| holstein | hmmm... oh well.. | 05:25 |
| Orbit | okay so things seem to be working alright | 05:29 |
| Orbit | so you don't think I should try to fix the driver or anything? | 05:30 |
| holstein | Orbit: fix? | 05:30 |
| Orbit | well you said to just leave it alone since things were working | 05:30 |
| holstein | Orbit: i mean, ideally, AMD would "fix" it.. since, they dont, then, you, as i do with my current amd, will need to likely accept compromise | 05:31 |
| Orbit | oh okay | 05:31 |
| Orbit | i think thenext big ubuntu ill just do a fresh install | 05:31 |
| holstein | if something is wrong, i would fix it.. otherwise, its likely fine | 05:31 |
| Orbit | this isn't the first time this video card caused problems | 05:31 |
| Orbit | that was on an older ubuntu though | 05:31 |
| holstein | older kernel.. thats the key | 05:32 |
| holstein | a different kernel, and different drivers | 05:32 |
| Orbit | no this is causing problems, it says i can't install anything because of a software issue, i think ill have to go to the regular ubuntu chat | 05:34 |

| Newk | this is (still) quite usefull: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1422861&page=2&p=12046528#post12046528 | 13:14 |
| Newk | why isnt something like this part of lubuntu config tools? | 13:14 |
| Newk | i just looked for this because i didnt liked the default F11 for fullscreen so changed it on the fly with this little tool to Super+F11 | 13:16 |
| Newk | yes i know you can edit the .xml as text.. but one little typo and you're screwed | 13:18 |
| Newk | where is the Alt+LeftMouseButton combo configured? (for dragging windows) | 13:23 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard suggests obkey | 13:24 |
| holstein | i always try the openbox config, and go from there.. | 13:24 |
| Newk | in obconf under 'move&resize' or 'mouse' ? | 13:30 |
| holstein | ive never used it.. i'll personally just experiment with the config myself, or, i'll look for a distro with the functionality, and steal/borrow the config :) | 13:31 |
| Newk | :p | 13:33 |
| Newk | thanx for the insight holstein :) | 13:35 |
| Newk | i guess thats obkey's shortcoming.. no mouse bindings | 13:47 |
| Newk | openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings << points to /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml for default openbox keys and that those can be override by ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml .. or maybe lubuntu-rc.xml too | 13:54 |
| Newk | gotta try that | 13:54 |
| derich | is it a bug that the indicator field in taskbar has a ugly different darker gray background color? | 20:53 |
| derich | or does somebody knows how to fix it? | 20:54 |
