[13:21] <xubuntu86i> hi
[13:21] <xubuntu86i> i need help
[13:22] <xubuntu86i> grub not allowing to boot into ubuntu
[13:23] <xubuntu86i> in windows 10 dual boot case
[13:23] <xubuntu86i> on asus e203na with celeron dc 3350 64bit 2 gb ram xubuntu 16.04 64bit
[13:23] <xubuntu86i> live disk is working
[13:24] <xubuntu86i> now chatting from this live desktop
[15:44] <xubuntu43i> very two math
[17:57] <arkay> hi
[18:06] <arkay> xubuntu user since yesterday
[18:07] <arkay> does anyone know how to fix nvidia tearing ? i didn't find a proper solution although i've searched a lot
[18:21] <drleviathan> arkay, I don't know what nvidia tearing you're talking about, but I wonder if you have the correct nvidia drivers installed yet
[18:21] <drleviathan> as I recall xubuntu uses the "nv" driver by default which is an open-source driver
[18:22] <arkay> yes but the tearing is even worse with "nv", I ticked "nvidia binary driver" in Software and Updates > Additional Drivers
[18:22] <drleviathan> ok good
[18:23] <arkay> but some graphical glitches remain when scrolling in the browser for example, or when viewing videos
[18:23] <drleviathan> the tearing happens when... what?  you're playing some game that leans hard on GPU acceleration?
[18:23] <arkay> no it even happens on text scroll
[18:23] <arkay> or when moving windows
[18:24] <drleviathan> huh... I haven't seen that on my system
[18:24] <arkay> lucky you :)
[18:24] <drleviathan> arkay, what is your hardware?  i5?  something better?  and what nvidia card?
[18:24] <arkay> i5 + gtx 970
[18:25] <drleviathan> huh, I'd expect that to be fast enough.  I wouldn't suspect the hardware.
[18:25] <arkay> i found out it's better with "window manager tweaks > compositor > synchronize drawing to the vertical blank" but still glitchy though
[18:25] <arkay> no hardware problem because it was ok in windows
[18:26] <drleviathan> hrm... I have "Enable display compositing" disabled.
[18:27] <drleviathan> I can't remember why I disabled it, but probably because I don't care for eye candy and tend to opt out.
[18:28] <arkay> for me it's worth when disabled
[18:28] <arkay> anyway thanks for your answers
[18:34] <drleviathan> you mean "its worth it to enable display compositing"?  Or you decided to disable it to avoid tearing?
[18:34] <arkay> no, it is worth whitout compositing
[18:35] <arkay> yes it's worth it sorry
[18:35] <arkay> worse without, worth it enabled ^
[18:35] <arkay> ^^
[18:35] <GridCube> arkay: tried this? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2212418
[18:36] <arkay> yes i tried with compton
[18:37] <arkay> i will try the xserver thing
[19:09] <arkay38> so this seems to work for screen tearing https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/how-to-an-update-on-fixing-screen-tearing-on-linux-with-an-nvidia-gpu.8892
[19:11] <arkay38> horray
