=== joseph is now known as Guest21128 [03:37] 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] is there any other way to do it? [03:38] to enable compositing? [03:38] valorie, yes [03:38] control+f2 gets you krunner up top, start typing compositor [03:39] and that gets you directly to compositor in systemsettings [03:39] or if you prefer, just go to systemsettings and find your way there [03:40] ok... [03:42] and then? [03:46] find what works for you [03:47] the problem is that the compositor can't be enabled :/ [03:50] why do you need it? [03:53] don't know if it really matters but in my case because i want vsync for a tear-free experience [03:56] ah [03:56] well, not every computer has the power needed for compositing [03:56] nor all graphics cards /drivers [03:57] you might try installing the non-free driver for your graphics card/chip whatever [03:59] 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] aha [03:59] so you might need ppa-purge [03:59] !ppa-purge [03:59] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [04:00] works well, but you'll need to install it first [04:00] the easy way to do that is `sudo apt install ppa-purge` [04:00] in the commandline [04:04] also qdbus returns that is possible to use compositing === patche is now known as sebbot [04:10] john__: backports don't work for everyone, which is one reason we put them into a PPA [04:10] so that they can be removed and/or purged
