[00:00] <mrkramps> lspci -nnk | grep -i VGA -A2
[00:01] <xubuntu34w> Kinda new to linux, what's the lspci command do? Also, what does the break line do?
[00:02] <mrkramps> this command just shows the gpu
[00:04] <xubuntu34w> Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)
[00:04] <mrkramps> ok, so we're sure now it is an intel
[00:05] <mrkramps> seems like the issue with disappearing mouse pointer can be solved by changing the acceleration method
[00:05] <mrkramps> xubuntu34w, are you familiar with sudo in terminal?
[00:06] <xubuntu34w> yep, why doesn't su work in this version of linux?
[00:06] <mrkramps> sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[00:07] <mrkramps> echo -e 'Section "Device"\n Identifier "Card0"\n Driver "Intel"\nOption "AccelMethod" "uxa"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[00:07] <mrkramps> this creates a configuration file for changing the AccelMethod
[00:08] <mrkramps> afterwards reboot and test
[00:11] <xubuntu34w> First command just went, I should have put -v in.
[00:11] <xubuntu34w> Second command spit back this.
[00:11] <xubuntu34w> Section "Device"  Identifier "Card0"  Driver "Intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection
[00:12] <xubuntu34w> Is this a system fix so it work permanently, and what did I just do altogether there?
[00:12] <mrkramps> it is a permanent systemwise fix
[00:13] <xubuntu34w> What does a break line do?
[00:13] <xubuntu34w> The |
[00:14] <mrkramps> xubuntu34w, the second command just echoes the configuration entry including required line breaks
[00:14] <mrkramps> | is a pipe
[00:14] <mrkramps> echo pipes output to tee which is adding it to a file
[00:14] <mrkramps> tee is required here as echo does not work with sudo
[00:15] <mrkramps> you can check if the configuration file is properly setup:$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[00:16] <xubuntu34w> I will reboot and be back, just a sec.
[00:16] <mrkramps> yeah
[00:23] <xubuntu63w> Worked, thank you Mr. Kramps.
[00:23] <mrkramps> you're welcome
[00:23] <xubuntu63w> I hope you have a fine day.
[00:24] <mrkramps> rather a good night =D
[00:24] <xubuntu63w> :)
[00:24] <xubuntu63w> Is there a big book on linux stuff? How do I acquire as much knowledge as you?
[00:25] <mrkramps> there are a lot of books and loads of information on the internet if you know the right search terms
[00:26] <mrkramps> but it took me about 10 years to get where i am now
[00:27] <xubuntu63w> I 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] <mrkramps> in this case i had a recent forum thread addressing this issue
[00:28] <mrkramps> and it is a known issue that intel gpus might have problems depending on acceleration method
[00:28] <xubuntu63w> Sorry I didn't find it in the forums.
[00:28] <mrkramps> german forums
[00:29] <xubuntu63w> Well, thanks for helping. Xubuntu is so much faster.
[00:30] <xubuntu63w> You're doing a good thing.
[00:30] <mrkramps> you're welcome :)
[03:11] <ironhoof> I 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?
[07:02] <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 monitors
[07:02] <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 ?
[07:03] <sorinello_> I am running the latest Xubuntu version
[07:51] <xubuntu65w> My 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?
[08:06] <akxwi-dave> what GPU do you have?
[08:30] <xubuntu84w> I 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.
[14:35] <ikonia> can someone explain what the "disable secure boot" checkbox in the xubuntu installer does ?
[14:35] <ikonia> what it's there for
[14:50] <flocculant> ikonia: 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 here
[15:02] <ikonia> it doesn't look like it's in ubuntu, (but it could be)
[15:02] <ikonia> a user was asking about it, I got a screen shot of it
[15:03] <ikonia> https://imagebin.ca/v/2pjePvirQnae
[15:03] <ikonia> it seems a crazy checkbox
[15:04] <flocculant> ikonia: 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] <flocculant> never seen it - and I test our iso's almost daily
[15:05] <flocculant> all that aside, that's part of the install which xubuntu doesn't have anything to do with
[15:05] <flocculant> I would suspect that user would see the same with an Ubuntu installer under exactly the same circumstances
[15:08] <flocculant> and when I say 'never seen it' I mean exactly that :)
[15:19] <ikonia> I'd never seen it either
[15:19] <ikonia> thats why I asked for a screen shot
[15:19] <ikonia> it seems the most pointless and missleading thing possible
[15:19] <flocculant> I've asked someone else
[15:20] <genii> ikonia: What, the "Disable Secure Boot" ?
[15:22] <ikonia> genii: yes
[15:25] <flocculant> ikonia: currently (unless genii comes through) people I know to ask aren't about
[15:26] <genii> If you selected earlier to install 3rd party repositories, it will show that screen
[15:26] <flocculant> ikonia: actually cyphermox was awake > <cyphermox> flocculant: that's largely it, it does what it says
[15:26] <ikonia> it can't disable secure boot
[15:27] <ikonia> that would defeat the whole object of secure boot
[15:27] <ikonia> it can't "do what it says"
[15:27] <flocculant> cyphermox> 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 that
[15:27] <ikonia> that is quite missleading
[15:27] <ikonia> thank you for looking into it though
[15:27] <ikonia> that is useful to know
[15:27] <flocculant> ikonia: your welcome as always
[15:28] <flocculant> if you think it's misleading - then perhaps ubuntu-bug ubiquity
[15:28] <flocculant> ikonia: 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 shim
[15:29] <ikonia> I may submit a bug/patch for rewording that
[15:29] <ikonia> really useful info though
[15:32] <flocculant> ikonia: well if you do - ping me with the # - might subscribe to it - I'd certainly 'me too' it
[15:32] <ikonia> thank you
[15:34] <flocculant> yw
[15:34] <flocculant> and thanks for asking - always nice to find things out :)
[16:29] <GridCube> D: i lost all my shortcuts
[16:43] <GridCube> well restarting brought my shortcuts back, except ctrl-shift-u
[16:43] <GridCube> :/
[18:44] <xubuntu49i> hi every body
[18:47] <akxwi-dave> hi
[18:48] <knome> akxwi-dave, gone already..
[18:48] <akxwi-dave> lol
[18:48] <akxwi-dave> didn't wait long..:-)
[18:49] <knome> nope
[19:16] <Kouki> is bug with icon fonts fixed? http://i.imgur.com/sW3Xg5P.png
[19:16] <Kouki> see, icon strings are moved to left
[19:18] <flocculant> Kouki: afaik - no
[19:20] <Kouki> so i must enjoy an clean xfce desktop ;P
[20:32] <quantibiliy> someone hasn't been doing their homework when you guys updated to ubuntu 16.0.4
[20:33] <xangua> There's no 16.0.4
[20:33] <quantibiliy> well what ever the dang update was it just rattled my nerves to no end
[20:34] <Pici> In what way?
[20:36] <quantibiliy> well i can't use AMD drivers?? can't use Catalyst
[20:36] <Stefan_J> Hello.
[20:36] <flocculant> quantibiliy: did you actually read any of the release notes?
[20:36] <quantibiliy> without it i get a bit of bleed over from screen one to screen too...
[20:37] <quantibiliy> Flocculant no
[20:37] <knome> quantibiliy, i think what you mean you are the one who didn't do their homework.
[20:37] <knome> quantibiliy, the release notes clearly say there aren't AMD drivers yet...
[20:37] <knome> Stefan_J, hello
[20:37] <quantibiliy> knome,  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 screwy
[20:38] <flocculant> quantibiliy: I even mention the fglrx deprecation on the announcement at xubuntu.org
[20:38] <quantibiliy> Flocculant, fair enough. but i got other issues here that im addressing
[20:38] <knome> quantibiliy, 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 volunteer
[20:38] <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.
[20:39] <quantibiliy> yeah thats another thing
[20:39] <quantibiliy> the dual screen options got weird on me when first booted
[20:40] <quantibiliy> i don't know what the problem is with my google chrome but i can't find the site that i favorited...
[20:40] <quantibiliy> which was the site for people who want to help with bugs cause im tired of seeing them
[20:42] <quantibiliy> never mind found it
[20:42]  * Stefan_J pokes kau.
[20:42]  * kau sniffs out Stefan_J
[20:43] <kau> :D
[20:43] <knome> Stefan_J, which graphics card are you using?
[20:44] <quantibiliy> what the command to find my graphics card info?
[20:44] <flocculant> Stefan_J: I've seen oddities - but only on a specific website - and only with firefox
[20:45] <flocculant> quantibiliy: inxi -G will tell you
[20:45] <quantibiliy> thank you
[20:46] <Stefan_J> Trying to find out, knome.Graphics:  Card: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[20:46] <Stefan_J>            Display Server: X.Org 1.18.3 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)

[20:46] <Stefan_J>            GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ironlake Mobile
[20:46] <Stefan_J>            GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 11.2.0
[20:46] <quantibiliy> Radeon HD 6620G
[20:46] <flocculant> Stefan_J: use pastebin nect time :)
[20:46] <Stefan_J> Yeah, sorry.
[20:47] <Stefan_J> Didn't mean to paste it all.
[20:48] <flocculant> quantibiliy: 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 majority
[20:49] <quantibiliy> yes 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.
[20:50] <flocculant> I'd much rather you were about during the rest of the 2 year cycle ;)
[20:50] <quantibiliy> apart from that, i do have another question, who decided on the color scheme its awful
[20:51] <quantibiliy> i need to change that cause im done with it brb
[20:51] <quantibiliy> oops not your falt it was the oxygen one
[20:52] <knome> and xubuntu does ship the gtk theme configuration tool, so you can actually change the highlight colors easily
[20:52] <knome> ...which you would know if you ever read anything ;)
[20:54] <quantibiliy> yes i do read
[20:54] <quantibiliy> i read better then most peoople my age
[20:56] <quantibiliy> so i had a few ideas before this escaped with installing this new system
[20:57] <quantibiliy> not sure if i can script or i have to actually code it...
[20:59] <Stefan_J> So, does anyone have any idea about my problem?
[20:59] <quantibiliy> one, 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 browswer
[20:59] <quantibiliy> Stefan
[20:59] <quantibiliy> Stefan_J,
[20:59] <quantibiliy> version 16?
[21:00] <Stefan_J> Yes.
[21:01] <quantibiliy> welp you hafta wait
[21:01] <quantibiliy> im pretty sure you have to wait
[21:01] <quantibiliy> like me
[21:02] <quantibiliy> i have an issue that isn't resolved with the kernel.
[21:02] <quantibiliy> i 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 screwy
[21:03] <Stefan_J> Wait for what?
[21:04] <quantibiliy> screen one has a sliver on screen two
[21:05] <quantibiliy> whats your issue?
 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.
[21:06] <quantibiliy> ah sorry i did try to back read
[21:06] <quantibiliy> you beat me too it
[21:06] <quantibiliy> so you need the drivers as i do
[21:06] <quantibiliy> yeah im pretty sure you have to wait like i do. have you tried resolution changing?
[21:07] <quantibiliy> Stefan_J,
[21:08] <Stefan_J> Haven't.
[21:08] <quantibiliy> TRY a slightly less resolution and see if that helps
[21:08] <Stefan_J> Slightly? How do I slightly change it?
[21:08] <quantibiliy> just drop it one level thats apropriate for the screen you're using
[21:09] <quantibiliy> the second screen that isn't the computer
[21:10] <Stefan_J> Nothing changes.
[21:10] <Stefan_J> I guess I'll wait for driver?
[21:11] <quantibiliy> my 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 level
[21:12] <quantibiliy> Stefan_J,
[21:14] <quantibiliy> please let me know if that helped
[21:14] <Stefan_J> Can't set same resolution, they're not the same shape.
[21:18] <quantibiliy> well 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 further
[21:18] <quantibiliy> Stefan_J,
[21:19] <quantibiliy> I know you won't keep it just check
[21:19] <Stefan_J> Tried, didn't work.
[21:19] <quantibiliy> darn im sorry man
[21:19] <Stefan_J> It's OK.
[21:20] <quantibiliy> linux is the shiznit though
[21:22] <quantibiliy> Stefan_J, ill see if there are answers on google for ya... im pretty good with it
[21:24] <quantibiliy> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1522922 similar but not hte same right?
[21:39] <Stefan_J> Don't know.
