| gonyere | So, I continue to have two-finger scrolling quit working. It seems to be after closing my laptop and it suspending for a period, but has now occured at least 3 times. The only way I've found to make it work again is to reset tweak tool to default settings and restart. I am *not* changing anything in tweak-tool between times. Thoughts? | 12:56 |

| d1rewolf | hi all. just upgraded from 17.04. While troubleshooting various wayland issues (on a laptop which has both nvidia and intel chipsets and use prime-select), I noticed that it still seems to be using lightdm, even though I think gdm is now the default. what's the appropriate way to switch? | 16:27 |
| d1rewolf | can someone tell me how to downgrade to xserver (instead of wayland) on 17.10? Having all sorts of problems because my laptop has both intel and nvidia cards (think prime-select) | 16:53 |
| brainwash | d1rewolf: uninstall lightdm and install/use gdm | 16:55 |
| d1rewolf | d1rewolf: I'm using gdm now | 16:56 |
| d1rewolf | er...brainwash ^ ;) | 16:56 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: although I didn't completely uninstall lightdm, I did dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 and now gdm is in use | 16:56 |
| brainwash | and you cannot switch to the normal gnome session? | 16:57 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: I'm able to login to gnome | 16:57 |
| d1rewolf | and configure my monitors via "Displays" | 16:57 |
| d1rewolf | but if I log out/back in, the monitor settings disappear | 16:57 |
| d1rewolf | this is with primeselect set to nvidia | 16:57 |
| d1rewolf | when set to intel (mesa) it wouldn't login at all....although come to think of it that was using lightdm | 16:58 |
| d1rewolf | so perhaps a switch to intel and then logging in with gdm will do? | 16:58 |
| brainwash | I assume that with intel it would try to load gnome wayland, and with nvidia the xorg one | 16:59 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: I'm running with nvidia now, and it appears wayland is running | 16:59 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland | 17:00 |
| brainwash | is that really the case? | 17:00 |
| brainwash | ok | 17:00 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: would that verify it was the case? | 17:02 |
| d1rewolf | nvidia-settings doesn't work any longer....just refuses to launch | 17:02 |
| d1rewolf | "ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system" | 17:02 |
| brainwash | well yeah | 17:02 |
| brainwash | it's a wayland session | 17:02 |
| brainwash | therefore, not compatible with nvidia-settings | 17:03 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: is there a somewhat easy way to fallback to xorg instead of wayland? | 17:05 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: or would you happen to know a way to determine why the "Displays" section isn't storing its data? | 17:05 |
| d1rewolf | it's painful to have to re-enable the monitors, and then try to drag them (that dragging never seems to just work) | 17:06 |
| brainwash | gdm allows you to select what session you want to start | 17:07 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: for me, Gnome just fires up Wayland | 17:07 |
| d1rewolf | although I see the Gnome with Wayland option as wel | 17:07 |
| d1rewolf | this is an upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10 | 17:07 |
| brainwash | you get wayland without selecting "gnome with wayland"? | 17:08 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: yes, I am | 17:09 |
| brainwash | I suggest checking launchpad then | 17:10 |
| brainwash | maybe a bug report exists | 17:11 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: ok, thanks | 17:11 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: well, mystery solved. There's a "Gnome on X11" option in the gdm menu. That seems to launch it on xorg. | 17:20 |
| d1rewolf | still can't figure out why the heck my monitor/display settings won't save | 17:20 |
| d1rewolf | if one has settings from gnome on 17.04 but wishes to use the default 17.10 look/feel/settings/etc, how can one roll back or default to those? | 17:26 |
| brainwash | d1rewolf: maybe bug 1716341 | 17:27 |
| ubottu | bug 1716341 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "Settings for external monitor are deleted after reboot, suspension, log out" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1716341 | 17:27 |
| brainwash | a bit busy right now, so I did not read through the report | 17:27 |
| d1rewolf | brainwash: cool. i'll take a look. thank you | 17:27 |
| d1rewolf_ | hi guys. Anyone successfully running vmware workstation on 17.10? | 19:00 |
| === d1rewolf_ is now known as d1rewolf | ||
| d1rewolf | how can one reset gnome to default settings on 17.10 (assuming you've upgraded from a 17.04 system using gnome)? Would like to try out Ubuntu's default look and feel | 19:13 |
| nacc | d1rewolf: i'd create a dummy test user | 19:13 |
| nacc | d1rewolf: alt. backup your ~/.local and ~/.config directories (there are probably others, which is why i suggest the test user) | 19:13 |
| d1rewolf | nacc: you mean use the test user to see what's created upon login? | 19:15 |
| d1rewolf | would hate to blow away all settings in ~/.local and ~/.config :-/ | 19:15 |
| nacc | d1rewolf: right, i have done both ways | 19:16 |
| nacc | d1rewolf: 1) create a dummy user, login as them | 19:16 |
| nacc | d1rewolf: 2) mv ~/.local ~/.local.bak; mv ~/.config ~/.config.bak | 19:17 |
| d1rewolf | nacc: I'll give it a go. thanks ;) | 19:17 |
| CRogers | Hi. Is anyone else having the swap file fail in 17.10, causing a system freeze when the RAM fills up? | 19:18 |
| nacc | CRogers: i'm using a swap file in 17.10 | 19:19 |
| nacc | CRogers: and hiya (from #ubuntu-devel) | 19:19 |
| nacc | CRogers: what does `cat /proc/swaps` say? | 19:19 |
| CRogers | nacc: /dev/dm-0 partition20966360-1 | 19:20 |
| nacc | CRogers: well, that's not a swapfile :) | 19:21 |
| nacc | CRogers: how about `grep swap /etc/fstab` ? | 19:21 |
| CRogers | nacc: this is what Ubuntu installs by default now. I've changed NOTHING | 19:21 |
| CRogers | nacc: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 | 19:22 |
| nacc | CRogers: ah, encrypted swap? | 19:22 |
| nacc | CRogers: grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo | 19:22 |
| CRogers | nacc: Does Ubuntu accudentally encrypt the swap file while encrypting the home folder? | 19:22 |
| nacc | CRogers: i don't know | 19:23 |
| CRogers | nacc SwapTotal: 2096636 kB | 19:23 |
| nacc | CRogers: so you have swap :) | 19:23 |
| nacc | CRogers: wehther from swap file or swap partition, you have it | 19:23 |
| nacc | CRogers: so ... that's presumably not what's causinng your system to freeze | 19:24 |
| CRogers | logfile says Failed to activate swap file | 19:24 |
| CRogers | Maybe because the installer encrypted it? | 19:24 |
| nacc | CRogers: i don't think you hav ea swapfile | 19:25 |
| nacc | CRogers: it's not listed in fstab or /proc/swaps | 19:25 |
| nacc | CRogers: when did you install? | 19:25 |
| CRogers | Yesterday. | 19:25 |
| nacc | CRogers: and you downloaded the iso image yesterday? | 19:25 |
| CRogers | Well, I re-installed yesterday. | 19:25 |
| CRogers | Yes. | 19:25 |
| nacc | CRogers: oh i wonder did you have a swap partition before? | 19:26 |
| nacc | CRogers: and did you reuse your partitions? | 19:26 |
| CRogers | updater failed (like it always does) for 16.04 > 17.04 | 19:26 |
| CRogers | So I figured since I'm reinstalling anyway, may as well trythe latest version. | 19:27 |
| CRogers | nacc: Nope. Told it to erase the entire disk | 19:27 |
| nacc | CRogers: hrm | 19:27 |
| CRogers | Didn't change any swap or partition settings. | 19:27 |
| CRogers | Guess a reinstall again is the best option. | 19:28 |
| nacc | CRogers: sorry, I'm really not sure | 19:28 |
| CRogers | This time, I'll just install GIMP and try to export the test file that eats up all the ram | 19:29 |
| CRogers | See if it's "fixed" | 19:29 |
| CRogers | nacc: thanks for trying. | 19:30 |
| CRogers | nacc: did you encrypt your home folder? | 19:30 |
| CRogers | when you installed? | 19:31 |
| nacc | CRogers: no, i do whole disk encryption | 19:31 |
| nacc | CRogers: and i last installed ~15.10 | 19:31 |
| nacc | have been upgrading sinnce | 19:31 |
| CRogers | nacc: You have a magic I'll never understand. | 19:31 |
| CRogers | I've been using Ubuntu for about 8 years, and I've had the upgrade succeed like maybe twice in all that time. | 19:32 |
| nacc | CRogers: well, i'd never do 16.04 -> 17.04 :) | 19:32 |
| nacc | CRogers: either upgrade with each release, or just do LTS->LTS | 19:32 |
| CRogers | Or wait until about a year after the release, then upgrade. | 19:32 |
| nacc | CRogers: that's nonsenical for non-LTS | 19:33 |
| nacc | CRogers: they are only supported for 9 months | 19:33 |
| CRogers | Yea, well I use gimp-edge ppas | 19:33 |
| CRogers | to help test | 19:33 |
| CRogers | so I can't not upgrade. | 19:33 |
| CRogers | they only build for most recent ubuntu | 19:33 |
| CRogers | (for the edge repos) | 19:34 |
| nacc | CRogers: they publish for xenial? | 19:34 |
| nacc | https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge?field.series_filter=xenial | 19:34 |
| CRogers | nacc: Yea, I might go back if I can't get this sorted. | 19:35 |
| CRogers | But for how long they will support xenial... | 19:35 |
| CRogers | I can't really be updating all the time. I'm too busy. | 19:35 |
| nacc | CRogers: i assume they'd support it as long as xenial is supported | 19:36 |
| nacc | CRogers: that's basically what their pages ays | 19:36 |
| nacc | CRogers: but you'd need to ask them | 19:36 |
| CRogers | No, actually, that page is wrong. | 19:36 |
| CRogers | I had to upgrade to 16.10 to install edge. | 19:37 |
| CRogers | forgot xenial is 16.04, but yea that wasn't workng. | 19:37 |
| CRogers | Stuck on gimp 2.95 | 19:38 |
| nacc | CRogers: well, that doesn't make sense. 16.10 is eol | 19:38 |
| * CRogers shrugs | 19:39 | |
| CRogers | Anyway, I'll reinstall | 19:39 |
| CRogers | to test | 19:40 |
| CRogers | and file a bug report if it fails again. | 19:40 |
