| 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? | 09:00 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 10:34 |
| kaimast | how do i reset all my screen/x configurations? where is all the user-specific configuration? | 14:58 |
| fhf | in your home dir | 15:02 |
| fhf | i'd guess its in .config | 15:02 |
| fhf | .local | 15:02 |
| fhf | .compiz | 15:03 |
| 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. | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | thought unity was using a new video server | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | not X in other words | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | <--- still on KDE/Xserver here | 15:10 |
| kaimast | unity-system-compositor is not running, so i should still be on x11 | 15:10 |
| 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 | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | what type of connection to the 4k ? | 15:14 |
| kaimast | displayport | 15:16 |
| kaimast | it used to work fine with 30hz and then just decided to break | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | which gpu? | 15:18 |
| kaimast | i have a thinkpad t440s. i think its and intel hd 4400 | 15:20 |
| kaimast | an* | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | just trying to make sure the gpu is 4k capable | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | seems so on the forums, and the driver works 30Hz , but there's no mention of 60Hz support so far | 15:28 |
| 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 | 15:29 |
| 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sucks that ubuntu doesnt expose the settings for detached screens anywhere and all the documentation seeems to be outdated | 15:30 |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 | 15:30 |
| 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 | 15:32 |
| 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 | 15:33 |
| TJ- | kaimast: what does "xrandr -q" report? | 15:34 |
| kaimast | TJ: how do i run xrandr when x is broken? | 15:34 |
| TJ- | kaimast: The greeter should be running X; unless lightdm is broken too. Use a VT console: "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr -q" | 15:38 |
| kaimast | there is a "*+" next to the 60hz resolution. so i guess that one is selected? | 15:40 |
| TJ- | kaimast: Correct, selected *and* preferred | 15:41 |
| TJ- | kaimast: That info comes from the monitor via EDID | 15:41 |
| kaimast | EDID means it comes from the monitor? how do i override it? | 15:43 |
| 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 | 15:44 |
| kaimast | TJ: i get "crtc 0 failed" or something | 16:00 |
| kaimast | it also only give me a 60 hz option for 4k... that was the problem iguess | 16:02 |
| 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 | 16:19 |
| kaimast | mmmh i even get that when i want to disable a screen | 16:20 |
| TJ- | maybe its just a byproduct of how the driver does it; a bugette :) | 16:22 |
| 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 | 16:28 |
| fhf | kaimast: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mesa&searchon=names&suite=wily§ion=all | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | kaimast, mesa 11? the latest in the repos is 8.2 | 17:23 |
| kaimast | the link shows that it is at 10.6 right now. i think 8.2 is the version of xorg? | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | dunno , I'm on KDE/Plasma 5.4 | 17:25 |
| 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 | 17:26 |
| kaimast | urgh | 17:27 |
| fhf | kaimast: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseSchedule yup Debian import freeze occured at 20th of August | 17:28 |
| kaimast | i'd assume they make an exception for this? | 17:30 |
| fhf | kaimast: dunno i'd watch if it get updated then | 17:36 |
