[02:57] Hi. On xubuntu 18. Just installed eclipse from apt. Doesn't start. Anyone else experiencing the same? [10:53] Anyone knows how I can make lightdm appear at the same resolution as with log in and use, if screen is locked - lightdm is displayed in very low resolution when entering password after screenlock , instead [10:53] I solved it by installing xscreensaver and setting it to spare monitor from working by turning off power if not used. [11:15] that's quite strange [11:15] light-locker does change vt [11:15] which graphics card do you have? [11:15] have you looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if anything pops up? [11:18] nvidia 9800gt [11:18] heh [11:18] presumably you're using the nvidia binary blob driver? [11:25] pmjdebru1jn, yes 340 from Ubuntu repo [11:26] using xscreensaver made it behave [11:26] I just can't get OpenCL to work [11:33] no xscreensaver didn't make it behave at all [11:33] xscreensaver doesn't do the same thing [11:33] therefore you don't see the issue [11:33] ok [11:33] the nvidia blob driver probably doesn't handle the console switch properly [11:33] presumably because it has no drm counterpart [11:33] though i'm not an expert [11:33] but it's probably nvidia fault [11:35] https://bpaste.net/show/884faf52f68e [11:36] yeah sorry I'm not spending my time on nVidia mess :) [11:36] don't have much time to begin with [11:36] at least you have a pointer now :) [11:36] but again, I'm hardly an expert [11:37] Would try Nvida driver form nvidia site, because I don't see OpenCL is working [11:37] generally I wouldn't recommend it [11:37] the packages are there for a reason [11:37] i'll keep using xscreensaver [11:37] ok [11:54] nikolam: stick around, maybe someone else can be more helpful [11:54] No idea how to make OpenCL working. Researching [12:02] i can't apt-get update it's stuck at 0% [12:04] i can't help, but i know that they would need to know what server is in the /etc/apt/sources.list [12:05] ###### Ubuntu Main Repos deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main ###### Ubuntu Update Repos deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main [12:12] I have set to download form "Main server in software-properties-gtk, it helps with problematic mirrors. Even better is to put bug report on your mirror maybe [12:12] it's archive.ubuntu.com after setting to Main server [14:01] Can I ask a question about Pidgin and Ubuntu here or is there a channel for Pidgin? [14:07] james1138: you can ask questions about applications, though the knowledge level for any particular application here may very well be lower than any application specific channel [14:07] james1138: what support oppertunities there are for any particular you, you'd need to check their particular websites [14:14] I only found a german IRC for Pidgin. I upgrade to Xubuntu 18.04 and Pidgin will not launch. Has anyone got Pidgin installed and running on 18.04? [14:16] james1138: what do you see when you start pidgin from a console [14:16] does it segfault? do you see any error [14:17] does mv ~/.purple ~/.purple.old allow pidgin to start again? === ChunkzZ is now known as CHiiPM0NK === CHiiPM0NK is now known as ChipM0nk [14:30] sorry for the delay. nothing happens when I click to startup Pidgin [14:33] Using PSI+ in the meantime but in the past used Pidgin also for messaging Facebook friends. [14:42] james1138: you didn't answer any of my questions [14:47] Sorry. Last night fed up and removed pidgin from system. [14:47] james1138: what is your purpose of being here then? [14:47] gave you me the impression you wanted to troubleshoot the issue? [14:48] I started Xubunu less than a month ago and shall need insight from time to time. [22:21] i need some fast help [22:21] I installed 18.04 LTS and my mistake formatted /home [22:22] i of course intended to keep it, just make a clean install [22:22] since only the ext4 headers have been written and I havent written anything else, I should be able to restore it as it was
