| cimbakahn | Is there any reason for the screensaver to activate at startup? | 18:40 |
| wxl | cimbakahn: the dæmon runs so it can turn on at the specified interval. | 18:41 |
| bioterror | wxl, I like your, maybe danish accent ;) | 18:47 |
| wxl | XD | 18:47 |
| Loke-ion | hello, wondering if anyone can help me. I decided to try some linux distro on my old notebook. I have tried ubuntu (lags a bit), lubuntu, lxle. Notebook has a n280 1.6GHz 1c/2t cpu, 2GB ram, nvidia ION LE gpu | 19:49 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: not sure what your question is. | 19:50 |
| Loke-ion | on pretty much all of them LTS or latest seems there is not full driver support for the gpu. Also I am unable to change the brightness. Changing from nouveau to nvidia doesn't help | 19:50 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: what makes you think driver support is lacking? | 19:50 |
| bioterror | propietary driver should support Ion quite well? | 19:50 |
| bioterror | I have Ion2 board | 19:51 |
| Loke-ion | outside brightness, when I login I get broken bits of stuff that look from my windows 7 partition | 19:51 |
| Loke-ion | a friend said it's unassigned memory something | 19:51 |
| wxl | screenshot might be helpful | 19:51 |
| Loke-ion | https://i.lokie.eu/eCU2mXvf1UYX.mp4 this is from when I tried lubuntu | 19:52 |
| wxl | is a screenshot possible? i don't feel like downloading an mp4. | 19:53 |
| Loke-ion | you can stream it normally | 19:53 |
| Loke-ion | here you go https://i.lokie.eu/t/llyrrBPLc4IM.png | 19:53 |
| wxl | desktop seems fine | 19:54 |
| wxl | what's it look like when opening a window? | 19:54 |
| Loke-ion | after it finishes login in it's fine | 19:54 |
| Loke-ion | a friend who is a software engineer said the above is: uninitialized video card memory | 19:55 |
| Loke-ion | which means lack of full driver support | 19:55 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: sounds like you should have your friend submit some patches XD | 19:55 |
| bioterror | are you using porpietary driver or the opensource one? | 19:55 |
| Loke-ion | bioterror nouveau, tried the propietary driver too | 19:56 |
| Loke-ion | latest and legacy | 19:56 |
| Loke-ion | on lubuntu and lxle | 19:56 |
| bioterror | and same? | 19:56 |
| Loke-ion | wxl yea well doubt he will be very interested | 19:56 |
| Loke-ion | I think so yea, have done so many reinstalls I am losing count | 19:57 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: if that is the problem, someone either needs to fix the problem in nouveau or you can hope and pray nvidia fixes it | 19:57 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: chances with the latter are small, of course | 19:57 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: nouveau is not an ubuntu product | 19:58 |
| Loke-ion | I get systemd failed to load /path/video card something while it loads | 19:58 |
| wxl | you can report a bug here" https://wiki.freedesktop.org/nouveau/Bugs/ | 19:58 |
| Loke-ion | to load ACL* | 19:58 |
| Loke-ion | ok driver aside | 19:58 |
| wxl | "something" is not very descriptive. we'd need the full details | 19:58 |
| Loke-ion | any idea about the brightness problem? | 19:59 |
| Loke-ion | let me reboot it again wxl didn't have enough time to read it | 19:59 |
| wxl | they may be related actually | 19:59 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: don't | 19:59 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: you should be able to find it in /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/syslog | 19:59 |
| Loke-ion | well too late | 19:59 |
| wxl | i don't see an ION LE here https://wiki.freedesktop.org/nouveau/CodeNames/ | 20:00 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: from what i see nouveau doesn't fully support the ion | 20:01 |
| Loke-ion | systemd-udevd[413]: Failed to apply ACL on /dev/dri/card1: No such file or directory | 20:01 |
| Loke-ion | doubt if even nvidia fully does :P looks more like a one time thing they did for net/note books | 20:02 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: doubtful that's related. | 20:02 |
| wxl | yeah this is the problem with nvidia unfortunately | 20:02 |
| Loke-ion | so I am stuck changing brightness from the terminal | 20:03 |
| wxl | well it's possible the media key isn't recognized | 20:03 |
| Loke-ion | if I use the brightness app on lxle it changes it but to me looks more like it applies a gray filter on it | 20:03 |
| Loke-ion | cause the mouse pointer stays the same "bright" | 20:03 |
| wxl | you can use the openbox settings to change what keys do what | 20:04 |
| wxl | you just need to find out what key you have | 20:04 |
| Loke-ion | mm on other distro fn was being registered as in I got the pop up with the bar | 20:05 |
| Loke-ion | but no real change was happening | 20:06 |
| Loke-ion | also fn for audio works in lxle | 20:06 |
| wxl | so steal the openbox settings from lxle and apply them to lubuntu | 20:06 |
| wxl | but change the program used to the one you use on the command line | 20:06 |
| wxl | ugh finally found it. xev will report what key is being input, Loke-ion | 20:09 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: or evtest | 20:10 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: or xinput test | 20:10 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: xinput is a little weird to use, though, as you need the id of the device from xinput list | 20:11 |
| Loke-ion | um thanks though that will take some time | 20:12 |
| Loke-ion | not familiar with all that | 20:12 |
| Loke-ion | anyway wxl thank you, will try to play around a bit and see what I manage | 20:14 |
| Loke-ion | btw if I remember correctly on ubuntu 15.10 brightness worked fine anyway to find out what it has the others don't? | 20:15 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: after you get some output back on what key is being used, i can help you hack your confgig | 20:15 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: sure. just find where all the hotkeys are defined and see what keycodes and what-have-you it uses | 20:16 |
| Loke-ion | :P | 20:16 |
| Loke-ion | yea that's well out of my skill level but I 'll see what I can do | 20:16 |
| wxl | Loke-ion: unfortunately, i don't know where that is as i don't use ubuntu, but you could ask on #ubuntu | 20:17 |
| Loke-ion | alright will see if I can do it on weekend, got the logs from here so I should probably manage to explain myself | 20:18 |

| caraka | Greetings. I maintain a PPA for a prject, and I have a lubuntu user who insists that the .desktop launcher doesn't exist, but I know it does. Where does one find them in lubuntu? in /usr/share/applications like the other flavours? | 21:42 |
| Techno568 | Hello. Is lbuntu better than ubuntu for old computers | 21:56 |
| genii | Yes. | 21:57 |
| caraka | that was quick' | 22:01 |
| genii | caraka: Short and sweet ;) | 22:20 |
| caraka | yes. and I got my lubuntu user sorted out too. Of course it's all in the default directory :P | 22:21 |
| caraka | thank goodness for lightweight distros. More linux converts by the day | 22:22 |
| genii | Gives more life to old equipment, simpler to understand | 22:22 |
| caraka | exactly | 22:23 |
