[15:35] no...best to restate your problem, what you did to correct it and what is still wrong. [15:35] ok, I write the problem and how I got where I'm now [15:37] I'm on Xubuntu 15.04 with an Radeon HD 7670M and I'm having fps drops in 3D fullscreen OpenGl games following an update [15:37] asantos3: whatever its an update to, you can try simply reverting the update [15:38] well, the problem I don't know what was it [15:38] that can at least confirm that, for you. then, you can file a bug, but, i suggest going upstream as far as you can [15:39] asantos3: id day, thats an assumption then. you can try reverting the kernel, then, the driver.. or, just look for, and start your own bug report.. you can try #ubuntu as well, and see if you can find someone with the exact same hardware. that would be helpful [15:40] I've never had occasion to use it or even look, but I'd assume that there's an update log ? [15:40] I tested this a bunch of times [15:40] This should tell you what was updated. [15:41] I know what I update because I took an screenshot of it [15:41] " well, the problem I don't know what was it" Then what was this? [15:41] asantos3: ah, so, as i suggested, you can try steppting back the versions of what you think is the cause.. its likely you can have a regression bug [15:41] it happens, for sure [15:43] Here's the screenshot http://i.imgur.com/WQxKg9i.png I took one because monday or so I had fps drops so I tested and bunch of stuff, even switched to ubuntu mate and reinstalled xubuntu 15.04 [15:44] I don't know what could have affected it from that list :/ [15:44] asantos3: the drivers, and core kernels, and other parts, are the same.. so, switching DE's wont address driver support, like that [15:45] But it did ran finned, with everything updated on lubuntu 15.04 and ubuntu 15.04 [15:46] asantos3: sure.. both, lubuntu and ubuntu 15.04 are ubuntu as well.. same kernel, and GPU drivers.. *if* you have the same GPU drivers installed [15:46] I did [15:46] my gpu doesn't like the proprietary drivers [15:47] so I always run the Radeon driver === IdleOne is now known as Guest41975 [16:17] Hi [16:18] I installed xubuntu 15.05 and Firefox from the link in the menu doesnt run [16:18] I get failed to execute default browser - IO error [16:18] Anyone seen this? [16:19] what do you mean by "from the link in the menu"? [16:19] shortcut in the main pulldown [16:20] runs just fine in a fresh install here [16:20] so, a fresh install of 15.04? and you click on firefox and it doesnt run? what happens, thatdudeguyyoukn ? [16:20] yes, that is what I am describing [16:21] I get failed to execute default browser - IO error [16:21] 1) Works here, 2) what happens if you uninstall then reinstall FF? [16:21] Did I break the Internet? [16:21] lol [16:21] No, you're not that good. [16:22] thatdudeguyyoukn: please open a terminal, and type "firefox" and hit return, and see if it runs.. [16:22] drc, I'm sure you aren't either [16:22] process:4380): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed [16:22] Could not create gnome accelerators directory `/home/joe/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied [16:23] thatdudeguyyoukn: did it start? [16:23] nope [16:23] got that error [16:23] thatdudeguyyoukn: how did you install? from what iso? [16:24] usb from fresh download [16:24] thatdudeguyyoukn: sure.. from fresh download of what? [16:24] I'm gonna reinstall and see if the issue persists [16:24] thatdudeguyyoukn: reinstall what? xubuntu 15.04? 64bit? [16:24] holstein, from the ISO download. [16:24] 64bit yes [16:25] thatdudeguyyoukn: i would simply update, first. though, it looks like you may just have a simple permissions issue.. did you create a user post install? [16:25] thatdudeguyyoukn: would you try starting firefox as the guest user? === Guest41975 is now known as IdleOne [16:25] holstein, I did patch it and restart [16:25] thatdudeguyyoukn: you patched what? how? [16:26] apt-get [16:27] apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade [16:27] well, im updated here, and firefox runs.. so, i dont think that is the issue.. did you add any ppa's? [16:27] nope [16:27] nada [16:27] does it run as the guest? [16:27] fresh install. I'm gonna try as guest [16:28] Matter of fact, gonna redownload. Copy ISO to known good USB and reinstall [16:28] oh and also checksum after download [16:28] and check the media from the menu affter booting the USB, before installing [16:29] yes, I will do that as well. [16:29] Thanks yall [16:50] I tried rolling back some updates but didn't figured it out [16:50] can anyone more knowledge than me see what package could be causing an fps drop? http://i.imgur.com/We4llgE.png This is the update history, the stuff at 04:17 caused it, dunno what. [20:54] hey, can someone tell me how can i hide docky icon? [20:54] maybe ask a docky channel? [22:28] would installing vm+ [22:28] sry accidently hit enter [22:29] would installing vivid's intel driver deb package (xserver-xorg-video-intel) on trusty break the system (e.g. is it kernel dependent)? [22:30] i wouldn't suggest doing that [22:31] Mahe, you could install the HWE [22:31] if not already done [22:32] Mahe: why would you need that? What is your Real issue? [22:32] I've got a graphical problem with xfdesktop (both with Xfce 4.10 and 4.12) on trusty that isn't present on vivid. [22:33] If I set the icon size on xfdesktop higher (e.g. 64) and start dragging an element on the desktop my mouse cursor turns in to a garbled mess of the cursor and icon texture mixed together. [22:33] it's not visible on screenshots but stays for a few minutes [22:34] Mahe, graphics card? [22:34] It's happening on an Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics [22:35] it happens when using the SNA accel method (default) [22:35] Mahe, already tried UXA? [22:35] yes, then the issue disappears [22:35] but I can't get VSync via compton to work correctly on UXA [22:36] so it's not a solution for me either [22:36] Mahe, would you mind posting the result of the following command:$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel* | fgrep '***' [22:36] *** 2:2.99.914-1~exp1ubuntu4.5~trusty1 0 [22:37] ok, that's the lts-utopic driver [22:38] I used the point release #2 install medium (14.04.2) [22:38] so I'm already on HWE? [22:38] Mahe, yes [22:39] that means the life cycle of this install won't even reach 2019? [22:39] nope [22:40] there should be support for this stack until july 2016 [22:40] D: [22:40] can I downgrade to 'true' LTS? [22:41] ah, sry!!! _not_ 2016 [22:41] argh, i never get this right [22:43] Mahe, original trusty until 2019, lts-utopic and -vivid until july 2016 and lts-(16.04) until 2019 as well [22:44] I'm new to this HWE stuff [22:44] so that means the xorg and kernel stuff gets regularily backported to the LTS? [22:45] introduced with 12.04.2 for all following LTS releases, yes [22:45] okay, so next I'd get vivid's backported xorg and kernel stack? [22:45] exactly [22:46] then willy and then 16.04 (no name by now) [22:46] and 16.04 can be used until EOL 14.04 in 2019 [22:47] okay [22:47] for what it's worth, xubuntu LTS releases are supported for 3 years [22:48] knome, thanks. that's something i should have mentioned before :S [22:48] what this basically means is that all of the xubuntu-specific stuff has 3 years of support; all core/shared components get the support level ubuntu provides [22:48] idc, I already use the 4.12 ppa for the xfce stuff [22:48] but even then, the xubuntu team suggests upgrading after 3 years on an LTS, since the team does not support the aforementioned components any longer [22:49] "xubuntu-specific stuff" isn't just xfce, but sure, it's your choice [22:50] The important things of an LTS for me are core component security updates and the stable kernel [22:51] i'm just pointing this out [22:51] yea no problem, thanks for the heads up [22:51] And, the PPA doesn't get new stuff, and usually drops old releases no longer supported. [22:52] Xfce's development is not as fast-paced and the current version is quite mature so I think I can live with this release a while [22:52] Mahe, most likely you cannot stop yourself from upgrading to next LTS with point release 16.04.1 anyways [22:53] of course you can [22:53] That's fine if it's running as well as the current LTS [22:53] but for instance xubuntu 15.04 breaks my hibernate, even with the 4.0 kernel [22:54] it's not LTS [22:54] yea I know [22:54] and yes, you have to test carefully before upgrading [22:55] Just noticed that the vivid HWE packages are already in the repos [22:56] Mahe if 15.04 breaks your hibernate you should expect this to happen with lts-vivid as well [22:57] yea I thought about that as well just now :D [22:57] so it might fix the graphics but break my hibernate :P [22:58] I'll just do a dd backup image tomorrow and try it [23:05] how can I restart xfdesktop from the command line? [23:06] -R === mrkramps_ is now known as mrkramps [23:06] thx [23:06] or --reload [23:08] okay seems like I successfully patched xfdesktop to use a fixed 48px drag texture size which avoids the graphic issue as well [23:15] one last question about the HWE stuff: did I get that correctly that if I keep updating my point release it will eventually install the vivid backported stuff? [23:15] Mahe, no [23:16] you have to install a new stack manually [23:16] Mahe, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [23:17] k thanks [23:22] then I'll just try out the vivid stack and if it doesn't work I'll downgrade to the trusty LTS stack [23:23] thanks for all your explanations and guidance! :)
