[11:12] <msodrew> Request for Help: I have found a few stray bug reports about it, but I want to know if it's common knowledge off the top of anyone's heads: are either the GTX 970  *or* Dell P2715Q mDP (4K@60Hz monitor) unstable/broken with Linux or Xfce4?–specifically causing X server screen blanking on Xubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial. I feel like I've tried everything. Enable/Disable DKMS, power management (everything set to "never"), screensavers, etc... Or
[11:12] <msodrew> upgrading the driver to the aggressive nvidia driver ppa, turning MSI off in /etc/modprobe.d/ .... no suspect notice/error in the Xorg logs... it goes on. Been trying so hard to troubleshoot it for I really want to make linux my daily drive, but if I cannot come back to the computer in an hour and not have it dependably losing my entire X session, forcing a ctrl+alt+super+F1 and i gotta restart lightdm everytime.
[11:13] <msodrew> ^ thanks ahead of time for anyone willing to read that
[12:21] <JeZxLee> anyone here running an nVidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCIexpress GPU on Xubuntu 16.04 - is it a good card?
[12:21] <JeZxLee> kind of expensive, will wait til the price drops, but just wondering
[12:23] <choki> why not going for 1070?
[12:36] <Andrio> Because the ones with four digits are the older ones.
[12:46] <bekks> Andrio: The 970 is from September 2014, the 1070 is from Mai 2016.
[12:46] <bekks> *May

[18:31] <cognominal> how do I change the window manager to xfce
[18:32] <cognominal> On another channel someone talked about a login mask. No idea what it is?
[18:32] <cognominal> the login window ask me about my login name. That's it
[18:43] <cognominal> apparently I did not try exit the session. So changing window manager is not a problem.
[18:43] <cognominal> Now, how to get back the application started with their window layout from one session to another ?
