[00:00] Yes. here also. I do want to give vivaldi a shot though. Now it's a clanISH install even though not official. [00:00] hey do you have spotify? [00:00] 24G ram here so I abuse my ff with tabs. [00:00] yes. [00:00] lol [00:00] hey isnt spotify freezing all the time to you? [00:00] never [00:00] but there are several ways to install. [00:01] damn why am I son unlucky :P [00:01] i tried snap [00:01] and ppas [00:01] both have this problem [00:01] I tried them all. I have to look at my notes to see which I am runngin now. [00:01] im with ppa right now [00:01] Actually I ended up just using my browser. The audio was far better for me. [00:02] It was like a volume boost from app to web interface. noticable too. Cleaner and crisper. [00:03] oh i should try that [00:03] Keep in mind the Linux spotify application is pet project and not considered stable. [00:03] yeah but it worked nice on 16.04 [00:03] I lov ethe web interface less headache and i can have my Panora or Spotify anytime, anywhere, any OS. =) quickly with no installs or learning curve. [00:03] i cant get how hibernation could work so nice on 17.10 and now only crashes [00:03] I actually like the web interface better for pandora and spotify. [00:04] any chance the first lts release will be better? [00:04] theres too much to fix from my point of view... [00:04] the native linux spotify app? [00:04] I have no idea. [00:06] no the ubuntu lagging [00:06] and hibernation [00:06] its amazing that on the live cd its super fast [00:06] maybe its something i am running [00:07] I have synergy, vscode, thunderbird, lmms with a midi keyborad plugged, firefox, soptify and dolphin open [00:19] mattfly: https://bionicmac.club/index.php/s/kEwa6JG3ZzJqhZi [00:19] In case you want to try vivaldi. [00:20] mattfly: well check your system load with those running and look for the culprit(s). [00:20] my system load? [00:20] no [00:20] even a good ole' (h)top would work [00:20] its fine [00:21] , im looking on htop [00:21] what do you see? [00:21] 9 gb used of 16, processors at 10% [00:21] sounds good [00:21] okay lmms is talking 29 % [00:21] hmmm [00:21] its the worst there [00:21] that one is a bugger [00:21] no [00:21] kill lmms only [00:22] thats normal for lmms [00:22] lmms has historically been a resource hog. [00:22] and i tried without it [00:22] its not the problem [00:22] hmm [00:23] do you have virtual box? [00:23] yes [00:23] runs fine with the normal lag in vbox itself. doesn't affect the rest of my system. [00:23] maybe was some mess with those kernel modules or something [00:23] now on gnome shell its a bit better [00:24] but if I am on kde its annoying [00:24] Upgraded my kernel today with the official updates. [00:24] aw me too [00:24] it updated nvidia drivers too [00:24] but right now im using kernel 4.16 [00:25] Time to grab some food.. be back in minute. [00:25] You should try it with the official kernel and see what gives. [00:25] grabbing food... [00:25] yesterday i tried to edit some spreadsheets with libreoffice [00:25] i just had some lag now [00:26] well and i just couldnt, everything got slowed down a lot [00:26] my fans were turnning on all the time [00:45] oooo vivaldi is sweeeet =0 === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar [06:16] How do I change display managers? [06:16] dpkg-reconfigure doesn't seem to work anymore [06:22] quidnunc: try sudo update-alternatives --configure x-session-manager [06:23] --configure? --set-selections? [06:23] --config sorry [06:24] slidinghorn: Says gnome-session [06:25] slidinghorn: but /etc/X11/default-display-manager says lxde [06:26] LXDE isn't a display manager...which DM are you trying to use? [06:26] gdm [06:26] (it *has* a display manager - lxdm) [06:27] sorry lxdm [06:27] I meant to say [06:27] ...and you have gdm installed, right? [06:27] I just re-installed gdm3 [06:27] there doesn't seem to be a package named gdm anymore [06:29] ok...if the update-alternatives method doesn't allow you to change it, just edit the /etc/X11/default-display-manager to say /usr/sbin/gdm3 [06:29] (that should be the right path) [06:30] okay, dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 invokes the configuration selector, but I get "gdm.service is not active" [06:30] ", cannot reload" [06:30] "invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action 'reload' failed"" [06:30] you're on 18.04 right? [06:31] yes [06:32] sudo systemctl enable gdm.service (you may have to disable the lxdm service - I'm not sure) [06:34] slidinghorn: Seems someone had a similar problem on stackexchange. Rebooting solves it, apparently [06:34] I'm going to try that [06:34] Thanks for the help! [06:34] good luck! [06:34] :) [12:37] when are the updates frozen if they are? [12:38] katnip: what do you mean?
