quintI've installed the compton compositor in place of the default compositor for XFCE4 to mitigate screen tearing, when loading menus, they appear all black until the mouse enters them. Is there a setting I can apply to prevent this?02:26
berkiyoquint: I have an alternative if you don't want to use Compton02:48
berkiyoYou can install xfwm 4.13 which for me (on intel gpu), eliminated tearing completely.02:49
quintberkiyo: I'll have a look at that03:19
berkiyoquint: Awesome. If you can't find the binary file (.deb?) I can upload it for you.03:20
quintberkiyo: It shouldn't really break if I pull it from the new repos, correct?03:23
quintOr is that a gamble03:23
berkiyoI don't think so, what version is the one from the repos?03:23
krytarikquint: What Xubuntu version are you on?03:26
quintI'm 16.0403:27
quintBut pulling from a later version, would that be discouraged in this case?03:27
quint(considering pulling from a later version that is)03:27
berkiyoI'm using XFWM 4.13 with XFCE 4.12 on Xubuntu 17.1003:30
berkiyoHaven't had any issues.03:30
berkiyoBut do tell me, what GPU do you have?03:30
quintIntel igpu03:32
quintberkiyo: let me grab that package then if you've got it03:52
quintI can't seem to navigate to it lol03:52
berkiyoquint: Alright, be sure that you don't have any intel 20-intel.conf files.03:52
berkiyogive me a sec03:52
berkiyoI'd also advise you turn off "Synchronise drawing to the vertical blank" to stop slow-downs when dragging windows.03:54

quintberkiyo: find /etc/X11/ | grep -i intel returns nothing if that's what you're asking03:55
berkiyoJust install that and reboot. You can check if it is installed with xfwm4 --version03:55
berkiyoquint: Yeah, I used to have the tear-free setting in 20-intel.conf but it would break lightdm.03:56
berkiyoThis is the best solution as tearing doesn't come back after suspend too!03:56
berkiyoDo report back on how it goes :)03:57
berkiyoAlso don't use compton as compton puts weird shadows on some programs03:57
berkiyoUnless you want effects then by all means03:58
quintberkiyo: that's because of GTK03:58
quintmanaged to kill that off03:58
quintbut yeah sums check out on that package03:59
quintthanks!03:59

quintah it's not gonna go in smooth berkiyo. dependency issues. I'll just have to upgrade when LTS hits.04:01
quintThanks a bunch though for the file04:01
berkiyoWait04:01
berkiyoOh04:01
berkiyoI understand04:01
berkiyoNo worries man. So 16.04 has issues with it then?04:01
quintYeah it doesn't like it04:02
berkiyoHmm. Well if you plan on running 17.10 or 18.04 (I'm waiting for 18.04 myself too), then it should work just fine. I hope XFCE 4.14 gets released by then.04:03
berkiyoIt is good to see they are almost there though!04:03
quintYeah04:03
quintCompton will do me fine for now though, very minor issue04:04
berkiyoIf you say so. :)04:05
berkiyoWell I wish it would work on your computer but yeah.. Dependency issues are the worst so I wouldn't force it :P04:05
quintAs soon as there's one, I don't even bother going down that rabbit hole04:06
quintAnyway, I'm off. have a good one04:07
berkiyoNo probs, you too!04:07
Unit193It very likely won't be released in time for the LTS, your best bet is one of the testing PPAs to get the development builds at least.04:12
berkiyoUnit193: Is there any ETA that it would be released in 2018 or no?04:13
Unit193Not really able to tell yet.04:13
berkiyoAre you a XFCE developer? :O04:14
berkiyoIf so, I want to thank you and your team on what a wonderful desktop environment you guys have created.04:15
Unit193No, well not really.  Xubuntu.04:15
berkiyoAh04:15
berkiyoEven that, the Xubuntu defaults are just... Perfect. Everything works so seamlessly.04:16
Unit193(As such I push minor, but usually very very minor changes to Xfce.)  Well good to hear!04:16
berkiyoAnd it isn't bloated either which is even better.04:16
berkiyoNice04:16
AfdalHaving an xfce bug in 16.04 that I'm not quite sure how to deal with10:18
AfdalI recently uninstalled Firefox and replaced it with another browser10:18
AfdalBut for the life of me I cannot actually select another browser in Preferred Applications10:19
Afdalactually it's a problem with all aspects of Preferred Applications10:19
Afdalsay you want to replace your terminal emulator with something else10:19
Afdalso you click the dropdown menu10:20
Afdaldrag your mouse to lxterminal or something10:20
Afdalclick it, and it does nothing10:20
Afdalthe dropdown menus on Preferred Applications appear busted, can anyone direct me to the text file where this setting is stored?10:20
AfdalSolved it, Preferred Applications apparently needs to be run with sudo to actually change anything now11:00
AfdalThis definitely seems like a bug, it makes the menu item useless for running it11:00
bastadurAnyone using Firefox Nightly?11:08
AfdalI'm going through a several-hours-long session to downgrade my Firefox actually11:10
Afdalor move on to Pale Moon already11:10
wkwingI am using firefox 5711:10
Afdalouch11:10
bastadurI'm asking because I can't seem to get the version 59 through updates.11:11
bastadurUsed to get updates daily then it just stopped.11:11

kgbmeguys, this is getting ridiculous - i can't identd my localhost (on freenode, for example)13:05
kgbmeif anyone's running it from their local PC, please let me know..:)13:11
kgbmeoident currently active (and replacing ident daemon successfully - or not?) heh.13:12
kgbme16.04.3 xubu13:13
kgbmei can telnet to it, on 113 so it seems to be cool ^^13:14
quintbalkamos: was it you I was speaking to earlier about the compositor?14:23
quintAnyone able to shed some light on why xfwm4 4.13.0 on an intel igpu may cause dragging windows to "lag" behind slightly? (not tearing, lagging behind)14:42
kgbmeyup, there's lag.14:42
quintsomeone definitely mentioned a fix for it earlier14:43
quintAnyone got logs?14:43
kgbmequint: what cpu, it might be just easier to change driver (to proprietary or vice-versa)14:43
quintIt's intel. I wasn't even aware there were proprietary drivers for intel.14:48
kgbmeum14:48
kgbmesec.14:48
quintSomeone mentioned a fix specifically for the package they suggested for just this issue. If only I had logged it14:49
kgbmehttps://s33.postimg.org/kc8hp6tcv/Screenshot_2017-11-23_15-49-13.png ?14:49
kgbmeyea sry wasnt here i think (plus, no logging. :))14:50
quintDang.14:50
quintYeah I do have that installed at the moment by the way14:50
quintI'll try without and see if that helps out14:50
kgbmeit *might* work, maybe worth a try?14:50
quintI'll return14:51

PlainDaveA little while ago, a guy gave me a link to a page that showed 18.04beta release, as well as the official release of LTS. Would anyone know that page URL?14:54
quintNo such luck.14:54
quintAhh jeeze I really should keep logs14:55
kgbmePlainDave: like a mirror, this doesn't do it for you? https://xubuntu.org/download14:55
kgbmequint: :f14:55
PlainDaveNo, but thanks. This page was all about 18.04's schedule.14:56
PlainDaveI've searched, but can't find anything.14:56
kgbmeand don't forget to check the hash, if it's not the official server (even when it is. :))14:56
PlainDavedefinitely14:57
kgbmehehe cool14:57
quintSomeone suggested upgrading a specific package and mentioned a fix for that very issue. It didn't take at first, but I apparently only needed one dep for it, which was available. Just now got it installed :(14:57
quintMy issue that is ^14:57
kgbmeah, geez. by the way, sometimes if Synaptic won't do the dependencies or whatever - Aptitude will, for future reference. =)14:59
quintinstalled directly with dpkg and forgot apt would try to resolve14:59
kgbmecool, cool :/15:00
quintAnyways. I'll just pop on some other time and hopefully someone will have the log lol. Couldn't find anyone with this specific trouble15:01
quintcheers.15:01
