[05:58] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:52] <Guest39477> screen
[09:00] <vitimiti> I have just upgraded to 15.10 with a lurks crypt partitioned system (full disk encryption), and the 4.x kernel doesn't load the password prompt while the 3.x kernel does. Anybody can help me about that?
[10:34] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:58] <kaimast> how do i reset all my screen/x configurations? where is all the user-specific configuration?
[15:02] <fhf> in your home dir
[15:02] <fhf> i'd guess its in .config
[15:02] <fhf> .local
[15:03] <fhf> .compiz
[15:07] <kaimast> mmh i removed my .config/compiz folder but when i plug in a screen it still set it to some random resolution and my x server breaks.
[15:08] <BluesKaj> thought unity was using a new video server
[15:08] <BluesKaj> not X in other words
[15:10] <BluesKaj> <--- still on KDE/Xserver here
[15:10] <kaimast> unity-system-compositor is not running, so i should still be on x11
[15:11] <kaimast> there is this gui in ubuntu-system-settings that sets display resolution and seems to save a per-screen configuration somehwere
[15:11] <kaimast> now when i plug in my 4k screen it always sets it to 60hz which the graphics card doesnt seem to handle
[15:14] <BluesKaj> what type of connection to the 4k ?
[15:16] <kaimast> displayport
[15:16] <kaimast> it used to work fine with 30hz and then just decided to break
[15:18] <BluesKaj> which gpu?
[15:20] <kaimast> i have a thinkpad t440s. i think its and intel hd 4400
[15:26] <kaimast> an*
[15:26] <BluesKaj> just trying to make sure the gpu is 4k capable
[15:28] <BluesKaj> seems so on the forums, and the driver works 30Hz , but there's no mention of 60Hz support so far
[15:29] <kaimast> so it worked fine for like two days
[15:29] <kaimast> and previously xrandr told me that it doesnt support 60hz, which i dont mind
[15:29] <kaimast> but now it doesnt work anymore (i just get a black screen) and i assume it is because it is set to 60hz
[15:30] <kaimast> .config/montiors.xml said 60hz but even after removing that file it still seem to load a config from somewhere
[15:30] <kaimast> i dont understand what changed :(
[15:30] <kaimast> it really sucks that ubuntu doesnt expose the settings for detached screens anywhere and all the documentation seeems to be outdated
[15:30] <BluesKaj> well you are on a developer OS so not all gpus and drivers are up to date with latest technology
[15:30] <kaimast> i dont have a .xsession or an xorg.conf or an monitors.xml
[15:32] <BluesKaj> kaimast, did you upgrade to the latest kernel a dayt or 2 ago?
[15:32] <kaimast> yeah but it started to happen with 4.1 already
[15:33] <kaimast> also. when booting i get output on both screens. so it seems like kms works fine
[15:33] <kaimast> for now it would be fine if i just got the screen working with a lower resolution
[15:33] <kaimast> has the time passed where all linux folks used thinkpads? i had so many issues with that laptops graphics over the last year
[15:34] <TJ-> kaimast: what does "xrandr -q" report?
[15:34] <kaimast> TJ: how do i run xrandr when x is broken?
[15:38] <TJ-> kaimast: The greeter should be running X; unless lightdm is broken too. Use a VT console: "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr -q"
[15:40] <kaimast>  there is a "*+" next to the 60hz resolution. so i guess that one is selected?
[15:41] <TJ-> kaimast: Correct, selected *and* preferred
[15:41] <TJ-> kaimast: That info comes from the monitor via EDID
[15:43] <kaimast> EDID means it comes from the monitor? how do i override it?
[15:44] <TJ-> Maybe you can use something similar to how I do it. I have "/mnt/target/etc/X11/Xsession.d/01fix-rotation-physical-dimensions" which contains: "xrandr -d :0.3 --fbmm 642x524"  - you can use that set the mode you want
[15:44] <TJ-> kaimast: You don't over-ride it; you just select a different mode to the 'preferred' mode
[16:00] <kaimast> TJ: i get "crtc 0 failed" or something
[16:02] <kaimast> it also only give me a 60 hz option for 4k... that was the problem iguess
[16:19] <TJ-> CRTC is the output head, stands for Cathode Ray Tube Controller, and controlls the pixel clock that drives the data to the output. I suspect it can't handle the data rate for 60Hz at the resolution selected
[16:20] <kaimast> mmmh i even get that when i want to disable a screen
[16:22] <TJ-> maybe its just a byproduct of how the driver does it; a bugette :)
[16:28] <kaimast> mh
[16:28] <kaimast> did mesa 11 already land in wily? wonder if that will help
[16:28] <kaimast> dont want to mess around with ppas though
[17:19] <fhf> kaimast: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mesa&searchon=names&suite=wily&section=all
[17:23] <BluesKaj> kaimast, mesa 11? the latest in the repos is 8.2
[17:24] <kaimast> the link shows that it is at 10.6 right now. i think 8.2 is the version of xorg?
[17:25] <BluesKaj> dunno , I'm on KDE/Plasma 5.4
[17:26] <kaimast> mesa 11 brings opengl 4, so i hope it lands soon
[17:26] <BluesKaj> seems like quite the disparity between DEs
[17:26] <fhf> kaimast: willy is after freeze i gues
[17:27] <kaimast> urgh
[17:28] <fhf> kaimast: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseSchedule yup Debian import freeze occured at 20th of August
[17:30] <kaimast> i'd assume they make an exception for this?
[17:36] <fhf> kaimast: dunno i'd watch if it get updated then
[23:01] <Bluefoxicy> is anyone running Wily with Gnome Wayland Session on Intel HD Graphics?
[23:01] <Bluefoxicy> curious if it actually works.
