mrkrampslspci -nnk | grep -i VGA -A200:00
xubuntu34wKinda new to linux, what's the lspci command do? Also, what does the break line do?00:01
mrkrampsthis command just shows the gpu00:02
xubuntu34wIntel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)00:04
mrkrampsok, so we're sure now it is an intel00:04
mrkrampsseems like the issue with disappearing mouse pointer can be solved by changing the acceleration method00:05
mrkrampsxubuntu34w, are you familiar with sudo in terminal?00:05
xubuntu34wyep, why doesn't su work in this version of linux?00:06
mrkrampssudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00:06
mrkrampsecho -e 'Section "Device"\n Identifier "Card0"\n Driver "Intel"\nOption "AccelMethod" "uxa"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf00:07
mrkrampsthis creates a configuration file for changing the AccelMethod00:07
mrkrampsafterwards reboot and test00:08
xubuntu34wFirst command just went, I should have put -v in.00:11
xubuntu34wSecond command spit back this.00:11
xubuntu34wSection "Device"  Identifier "Card0"  Driver "Intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection00:11
xubuntu34wIs this a system fix so it work permanently, and what did I just do altogether there?00:12
mrkrampsit is a permanent systemwise fix00:12
xubuntu34wWhat does a break line do?00:13
xubuntu34wThe |00:13
mrkrampsxubuntu34w, the second command just echoes the configuration entry including required line breaks00:14
mrkramps| is a pipe00:14
mrkrampsecho pipes output to tee which is adding it to a file00:14
mrkrampstee is required here as echo does not work with sudo00:14
mrkrampsyou can check if the configuration file is properly setup:$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf00:15
xubuntu34wI will reboot and be back, just a sec.00:16
mrkrampsyeah00:16
xubuntu63wWorked, thank you Mr. Kramps.00:23
mrkrampsyou're welcome00:23
xubuntu63wI hope you have a fine day.00:23
mrkrampsrather a good night =D00:24
xubuntu63w:)00:24
xubuntu63wIs there a big book on linux stuff? How do I acquire as much knowledge as you?00:24
mrkrampsthere are a lot of books and loads of information on the internet if you know the right search terms00:25
mrkrampsbut it took me about 10 years to get where i am now00:26
xubuntu63wI can understand that, I'm not looking for a life change, but I'd like to better informed without glossing over info. I don't know how you knew exactly what commands to use for my specific PC, but that was pretty impressive.00:27
mrkrampsin this case i had a recent forum thread addressing this issue00:27
mrkrampsand it is a known issue that intel gpus might have problems depending on acceleration method00:28
xubuntu63wSorry I didn't find it in the forums.00:28
mrkrampsgerman forums00:28
xubuntu63wWell, thanks for helping. Xubuntu is so much faster.00:29
xubuntu63wYou're doing a good thing.00:30
mrkrampsyou're welcome :)00:30
ironhoofI just installed xubuntu 16.04.1 on my laptop and it installed fine. It rebooted fine I install proprietary drivers, and checked for updates and installed. I rebooted it now its sitting on a blank black screen. What should I do next?03:11
sorinello_Hello. Can someone tell me if Xubuntu can support 2 monitors ?07:02
sorinello_I have a laptop with a docking station in which I want to connect the 2 monitors07:02
sorinello_but I am unable to know if basically xubuntu will support 3 screens (2 monitors + laptop lid)07:02
sorinello_anyone has ever tried that ?07:02
sorinello_I am running the latest Xubuntu version07:03
xubuntu65wMy systrem is asking me to upgarde from the 14.04 to the 16.04 version. it's a safe procedure or it may cuse problems?07:51
akxwi-davewhat GPU do you have?08:06
xubuntu84wI was wondering if anyone knows how I could add a top panel to the Numix lightdm login theme? In the original theme there's no panel and it's really hard to see the time and date as well as the session icons.08:30

ikoniacan someone explain what the "disable secure boot" checkbox in the xubuntu installer does ?14:35
ikoniawhat it's there for14:35
flocculantikonia: I don't see that, maybe it only shows if it can be used, that said - xubuntu uses the same ubiquity as ubuntu so you might get more luck asking in #ubuntu rather than here14:50
ikoniait doesn't look like it's in ubuntu, (but it could be)15:02
ikoniaa user was asking about it, I got a screen shot of it15:02
ikoniahttps://imagebin.ca/v/2pjePvirQnae15:03
ikoniait seems a crazy checkbox15:03
flocculantikonia: I'm running on memory of an irc conv in -release or something, but I did see mention of it - given how that looks I would have to say that 'it only shows where it could be used'15:04
flocculantnever seen it - and I test our iso's almost daily15:04
flocculantall that aside, that's part of the install which xubuntu doesn't have anything to do with15:05
flocculantI would suspect that user would see the same with an Ubuntu installer under exactly the same circumstances15:05
flocculantand when I say 'never seen it' I mean exactly that :)15:08
ikoniaI'd never seen it either15:19
ikoniathats why I asked for a screen shot15:19
ikoniait seems the most pointless and missleading thing possible15:19
flocculantI've asked someone else15:19
geniiikonia: What, the "Disable Secure Boot" ?15:20
ikoniagenii: yes15:22
flocculantikonia: currently (unless genii comes through) people I know to ask aren't about15:25
geniiIf you selected earlier to install 3rd party repositories, it will show that screen15:26
flocculantikonia: actually cyphermox was awake > <cyphermox> flocculant: that's largely it, it does what it says15:26
ikoniait can't disable secure boot15:26
ikoniathat would defeat the whole object of secure boot15:27
ikoniait can't "do what it says"15:27
flocculantcyphermox> disabling secure boot validation in shim -- which means that the shim signature (the MS signature, which gets checked by the BIOS directly) will still be verified, but nothing past that15:27
ikoniathat is quite missleading15:27
ikoniathank you for looking into it though15:27
ikoniathat is useful to know15:27
flocculantikonia: your welcome as always15:27
flocculantif you think it's misleading - then perhaps ubuntu-bug ubiquity15:28
flocculantikonia: also > cyphermox> in other words, that's something that only affects Linux if you dual-boot, and you're not touching the rest of the BIOS at all -- but it will affect any distro that uses shim15:28
ikoniaI may submit a bug/patch for rewording that15:29
ikoniareally useful info though15:29
flocculantikonia: well if you do - ping me with the # - might subscribe to it - I'd certainly 'me too' it15:32
ikoniathank you15:32
flocculantyw15:34
flocculantand thanks for asking - always nice to find things out :)15:34

quantibiliysomeone hasn't been doing their homework when you guys updated to ubuntu 16.0.420:32
xanguaThere's no 16.0.420:33
quantibiliywell what ever the dang update was it just rattled my nerves to no end20:33
PiciIn what way?20:34
quantibiliywell i can't use AMD drivers?? can't use Catalyst20:36
Stefan_JHello.20:36
flocculantquantibiliy: did you actually read any of the release notes?20:36
quantibiliywithout it i get a bit of bleed over from screen one to screen too...20:36
quantibiliyFlocculant no20:37
knomequantibiliy, i think what you mean you are the one who didn't do their homework.20:37
knomequantibiliy, the release notes clearly say there aren't AMD drivers yet...20:37
knomeStefan_J, hello20:37
quantibiliyknome,  good call. that still doesn't mean that people can't fix issues... like here's one, going into a Zip file the indicators goes screwy20:37
flocculantquantibiliy: I even mention the fglrx deprecation on the announcement at xubuntu.org20:38
quantibiliyFlocculant, fair enough. but i got other issues here that im addressing20:38
knomequantibiliy, no, it doesn't mean people can't fix issues... but it doesn't mean they will either, as everybody working on xubuntu is a volunteer20:38
Stefan_JCan someone help me? I've just upgraded to 16.04 on my laptop. I use additional screen, and when I switch cursor from one to another, the one I left flickers. Same if I move cursor over a flash game or a video, also sometimes flickers.20:38
quantibiliyyeah thats another thing20:39
quantibiliythe dual screen options got weird on me when first booted20:39
quantibiliyi don't know what the problem is with my google chrome but i can't find the site that i favorited...20:40
quantibiliywhich was the site for people who want to help with bugs cause im tired of seeing them20:40
quantibiliynever mind found it20:42
* Stefan_J pokes kau.20:42
* kau sniffs out Stefan_J20:42
kau:D20:43
knomeStefan_J, which graphics card are you using?20:43
quantibiliywhat the command to find my graphics card info?20:44
flocculantStefan_J: I've seen oddities - but only on a specific website - and only with firefox20:44
flocculantquantibiliy: inxi -G will tell you20:45
quantibiliythank you20:45
Stefan_JTrying to find out, knome.Graphics:  Card: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller20:46

quantibiliyRadeon HD 6620G20:46
flocculantStefan_J: use pastebin nect time :)20:46
Stefan_JYeah, sorry.20:46
Stefan_JDidn't mean to paste it all.20:47
flocculantquantibiliy: the long and short is *we* can only test what *we* can with our hardware - which is why I send out mails for people to test, but we're only really able to do that for xubuntu packages, we have to rely on ubuntu for the majority20:48
quantibiliyyes i know, its ok, im calming myself down now im here to help i have experience with programming and i do find more bugs then the average joe, I even have xubuntu code on my puter, though i never looked at it.20:49
flocculantI'd much rather you were about during the rest of the 2 year cycle ;)20:50
quantibiliyapart from that, i do have another question, who decided on the color scheme its awful20:50
quantibiliyi need to change that cause im done with it brb20:51
quantibiliyoops not your falt it was the oxygen one20:51
knomeand xubuntu does ship the gtk theme configuration tool, so you can actually change the highlight colors easily20:52
knome...which you would know if you ever read anything ;)20:52
quantibiliyyes i do read20:54
quantibiliyi read better then most peoople my age20:54
quantibiliyso i had a few ideas before this escaped with installing this new system20:56
quantibiliynot sure if i can script or i have to actually code it...20:57
Stefan_JSo, does anyone have any idea about my problem?20:59
quantibiliyone, was sleep timer, cause sometimes i watch a movie or show and want the computer to shut down after a certain time.. as well as que the next link after a show is done though it think that may be an issue that would have to do with the browswer20:59
quantibiliyStefan20:59
quantibiliyStefan_J,20:59
quantibiliyversion 16?20:59
Stefan_JYes.21:00
quantibiliywelp you hafta wait21:01
quantibiliyim pretty sure you have to wait21:01
quantibiliylike me21:01
quantibiliyi have an issue that isn't resolved with the kernel.21:02
quantibiliyi have a sliver of screen from my first  to my second .. won't go away except with a resolution change but that makes the dual screens get all screwy21:02
Stefan_JWait for what?21:03
quantibiliyscreen one has a sliver on screen two21:04
quantibiliywhats your issue?21:05
Stefan_J<Stefan_J> Can someone help me? I've just upgraded to 16.04 on my laptop. I use additional screen, and when I switch cursor from one to another, the one I left flickers. Same if I move cursor over a flash game or a video, also sometimes flickers.21:05
quantibiliyah sorry i did try to back read21:06
quantibiliyyou beat me too it21:06
quantibiliyso you need the drivers as i do21:06
quantibiliyyeah im pretty sure you have to wait like i do. have you tried resolution changing?21:06
quantibiliyStefan_J,21:07
Stefan_JHaven't.21:08
quantibiliyTRY a slightly less resolution and see if that helps21:08
Stefan_JSlightly? How do I slightly change it?21:08
quantibiliyjust drop it one level thats apropriate for the screen you're using21:08
quantibiliythe second screen that isn't the computer21:09
Stefan_JNothing changes.21:10
Stefan_JI guess I'll wait for driver?21:10
quantibiliymy guess its that its a "drawing" issue, when you move your curser from to the other there's a resolution change, try setting BOTH screens to the same level21:11
quantibiliyStefan_J,21:12
quantibiliyplease let me know if that helped21:14
Stefan_JCan't set same resolution, they're not the same shape.21:14
quantibiliywell try something the same thats reasonable if it works than its a drawing issue that needs the driver, but im pretty sure the driver is the issue, im probably just talking out my butt right now... i wish i can help further21:18
quantibiliyStefan_J,21:18
quantibiliyI know you won't keep it just check21:19
Stefan_JTried, didn't work.21:19
quantibiliydarn im sorry man21:19
Stefan_JIt's OK.21:19
quantibiliylinux is the shiznit though21:20
quantibiliyStefan_J, ill see if there are answers on google for ya... im pretty good with it21:22
quantibiliyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1522922 similar but not hte same right?21:24
