[14:15] <xubuntu805> hi all
[21:31] <LinuxNinjah> Hello, I'm new to xubuntu and I was wondering... is it safe to install nvidia's .run driver in xubuntu? It broke my debian system when I did it but I really want to test out the vulkan api
[21:32] <LinuxNinjah> im on 14.04
[21:34] <genii> Probably better to use the xorg-xedgers PPA before doing that
[21:34] <LinuxNinjah> hmm I don't know alot about that do I sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-xedgers
[21:35] <LinuxNinjah> and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade?
[21:35] <genii> https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[21:36] <genii> I put an extra x in there, apologies
[21:36] <LinuxNinjah> and whats the package im looking for in there
[21:37] <genii> nvidia-current, same as usual
[21:38] <LinuxNinjah> okay, I'm currently using compton to vsync in xfce that wont cause any issues right
[21:38] <LinuxNinjah> just to make sure
[21:40] <LinuxNinjah> sorry for so many questions lol but so im running i think nvidia 352 driver... I added the ppa and did apt-get update ... so if I install nvidia-current thats it?
[21:41] <genii> Should be, yes
[21:41] <LinuxNinjah> I dont see an nvidia package there
[21:41] <LinuxNinjah> i see amd and intel etc but not nvidia
[21:50] <genii> Looks like they separated out the proprietary drivers now from that PPA
[21:51] <LinuxNinjah> so is there any safe way to install nvidia vulkan driver or should I wait? I need to keep this system alive
[21:51] <genii> https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa is where the proprietary ones are at now
[22:58] <RoadRunner> do I need to do some special configuring of pulseaudio to make projectM work with Audacious?
[22:59] <RoadRunner> and if so how to do it...
[23:11] <ninjah> hey after upgrading xubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 during boot all I get is /dev/sda2: recovering journal and /dev/sda2:clean blahblah and a blinking cursor forever
[23:12] <ninjah> have important docs need to get back in to the system
[23:14] <ninjah> i was able to login using the command line what should i do
[23:21] <ninjah> I think its a graphics driver issue how do I configure nvidia driver from the command line? (enable it) after apt-get install nvidia-current
[23:33] <ninjah> lol ok i fixed it just removed the nvidia driver I had installed and then installed 364
