| john__ | Hello there, i have a low powered laptop and the compositing is disabled, i've tried qdbus to enable it but no luck at all :( | 03:37 |
|---|---|---|
| john__ | is there any other way to do it? | 03:37 |
| valorie | to enable compositing? | 03:38 |
| john__ | valorie, yes | 03:38 |
| valorie | control+f2 gets you krunner up top, start typing compositor | 03:38 |
| valorie | and that gets you directly to compositor in systemsettings | 03:39 |
| valorie | or if you prefer, just go to systemsettings and find your way there | 03:39 |
| john__ | ok... | 03:40 |
| john__ | and then? | 03:42 |
| valorie | find what works for you | 03:46 |
| john__ | the problem is that the compositor can't be enabled :/ | 03:47 |
| valorie | why do you need it? | 03:50 |
| john__ | don't know if it really matters but in my case because i want vsync for a tear-free experience | 03:53 |
| valorie | ah | 03:56 |
| valorie | well, not every computer has the power needed for compositing | 03:56 |
| valorie | nor all graphics cards /drivers | 03:56 |
| valorie | you might try installing the non-free driver for your graphics card/chip whatever | 03:57 |
| john__ | i have already done this and this pc is capable of using a compositing desktop, it can even wayland and also kde's compositor but something went wrong after enabling backports ppa | 03:59 |
| valorie | aha | 03:59 |
| valorie | so you might need ppa-purge | 03:59 |
| valorie | !ppa-purge | 03:59 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 03:59 |
| valorie | works well, but you'll need to install it first | 04:00 |
| valorie | the easy way to do that is `sudo apt install ppa-purge` | 04:00 |
| valorie | in the commandline | 04:00 |
| john__ | also qdbus returns that is possible to use compositing | 04:04 |

| valorie | john__: backports don't work for everyone, which is one reason we put them into a PPA | 04:10 |
| valorie | so that they can be removed and/or purged | 04:10 |
