[04:50] <xubuntu47i> hi
[04:50]  * xubuntu47i slaps Drone` around a bit with a large fishbot
[04:51] <xubuntu47i> hi julian
[04:52] <Unit193> xubuntu47i: Please stop messing with that, it's quite annoying.
[06:01] <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!
[06:02] <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!
[06:04] <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
[06:09] <hack_> Hello?  can someone at least point me to a display manager log file or something?
[06:10] <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.
[06:11] <DrCool> are you sure it's a driver issue and not hardware?
[06:11] <hack_> well, works just fine on the windoze side
[06:12] <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
[06:15] <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?
[06:16] <Unit193> Not likely.
[06:18] <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
[06:23] <hack_> still doing it after xfwm4 --replace
[06:23] <hack_> though not quite as frequently
[06:25] <DrCool> are there any reviews on how compatible your video card really is?
[06:25] <hack_> where would I find them?
[06:26] <hack_> is there a log specific to xserver-xorg-video-ati by any chance?
[06:28] <hack_> I can give you the hardware model if you need: it's and AMD/ATI Trinity [Radeon HD 7480D] (integrated)
[06:32] <hack_> according to http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_a10_5800k&num=2 it should be working quite well
[06:33] <hack_> so I *really* don't understand this now
[06:36] <DrCool> Do you have this installed?  I am just searching Google.  fglrx
[06:37] <hack_> no, it's xserver-xorg-video-ati
[06:38] <hack_> fglrx is ... worse
[06:39] <DrCool> are you on 15.10?
[06:40] <hack_> no, trusty
[06:44] <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.
[06:45] <DrCool> If that's true I am surprised that you were able to install the ATI drivers.
[06:45] <hack_> it's HD7480D
[06:46] <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.
[06:47] <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
[07:46] <bet0x> Hello
[07:46] <bet0x> Where i can download Xubuntu 16
[09:11] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 ask there bet0x
[17:29] <retrojeff> trying to track down an interesting bug
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <retrojeff> whats strange is this same problem is showing up in other applications too
[17:31] <retrojeff> like sublime_text
[17:33] <retrojeff> I would maybe like to force downgrade mousepad to see if the bug persists
[17:34] <retrojeff> to try and rule out that its not the cause of the bug
[17:38] <retrojeff> yup
[17:39] <retrojeff> so the bug is not in mousepad 0.3.0-2 but is in 0.4.0-X
