| xubuntu47i | hi julian | 04:51 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu47i: Please stop messing with that, it's quite annoying. | 04:52 |
| hack_ | Well I got it back to the correct open graphics drivers, but as soon as I installed and ran Gargoyle (for playing interactive fiction games), bang, the whole flashy thing is back! | 06:01 |
| hack_ | Skype also seems to trigger it, which is not surprising given its source ... but .... darn it, a native xfce app should not be causing this issue! | 06:02 |
| hack_ | my screen seems to be flashing every 20 seconds or so now ... it's getting extremely annoying, and I don't even have a compositor on at all | 06:04 |
| hack_ | Hello? can someone at least point me to a display manager log file or something? | 06:09 |
| hack_ | this thing isn't working right at all, and I need to know why if I'm going to fix it | 06:10 |
| DrCool | The open source and proprietary drives do that? | 06:10 |
| hack_ | both | 06:10 |
| Unit193 | Session log is ~/.cache/upstart/startxfce4.log, and can you confirm xfwm doesn't have the compositor? xfwm4 --replace too. | 06:10 |
| DrCool | are you sure it's a driver issue and not hardware? | 06:11 |
| hack_ | well, works just fine on the windoze side | 06:11 |
| hack_ | ok what should I be looking for? | 06:12 |
| hack_ | only way the compositor would be enabled is if the menu for window manager tweaks is broken | 06:12 |
| hack_ | one line sticks out at me: (Thunar:2359): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed | 06:15 |
| hack_ | also got a few Glib warnings, could that have something to do with it? | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | Not likely. | 06:16 |
| hack_ | is there a running log regarding graphics, or a way to enable one? all the stuff in there is from before when I started experiencing issues again | 06:18 |
| hack_ | still doing it after xfwm4 --replace | 06:23 |
| hack_ | though not quite as frequently | 06:23 |
| DrCool | are there any reviews on how compatible your video card really is? | 06:25 |
| hack_ | where would I find them? | 06:25 |
| hack_ | is there a log specific to xserver-xorg-video-ati by any chance? | 06:26 |
| hack_ | I can give you the hardware model if you need: it's and AMD/ATI Trinity [Radeon HD 7480D] (integrated) | 06:28 |
| hack_ | according to http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_a10_5800k&num=2 it should be working quite well | 06:32 |
| hack_ | so I *really* don't understand this now | 06:33 |
| DrCool | Do you have this installed? I am just searching Google. fglrx | 06:36 |
| hack_ | no, it's xserver-xorg-video-ati | 06:37 |
| hack_ | fglrx is ... worse | 06:38 |
| DrCool | are you on 15.10? | 06:39 |
| hack_ | no, trusty | 06:40 |
| DrCool | "Your card is no longer supported by AMD. AMD now only support HD5000 and above with their proprietary driver." I see this on one page. | 06:44 |
| DrCool | If that's true I am surprised that you were able to install the ATI drivers. | 06:45 |
| hack_ | it's HD7480D | 06:45 |
| hack_ | that's very strange .. and these are the open drivers ... hell they're only a couple years old how can they not be supported? | 06:46 |
| DrCool | wait, I guess 7000 wold be bigger thatn 5000. | 06:46 |
| DrCool | I am tired. I think I need to go to sleep. I really won't be much help anyway. | 06:47 |
| hack_ | yeah, lol, ok ... seems to have calmed down for the moment ... if it starts up again I might just try emailing the driver's dev | 06:47 |
| bet0x | Hello | 07:46 |

| retrojeff | trying to track down an interesting bug | 17:29 |
| retrojeff | when I use gedit and go file open I can open files from a gvfs mounted folder | 17:30 |
| retrojeff | I tried the same thing in mousepad | 17:30 |
| retrojeff | and the file open dialog popup is missing alot and looks different | 17:30 |
| retrojeff | whats strange is this same problem is showing up in other applications too | 17:31 |
| retrojeff | like sublime_text | 17:31 |
| retrojeff | I would maybe like to force downgrade mousepad to see if the bug persists | 17:33 |
| retrojeff | to try and rule out that its not the cause of the bug | 17:34 |
| retrojeff | yup | 17:38 |
| retrojeff | so the bug is not in mousepad 0.3.0-2 but is in 0.4.0-X | 17:39 |
