[02:50] <RoadRunner> where can I get "simple" instructions on how to build Pidgin 2.13.0 from source for xubuntu 16.04 and xubuntu 18.04?
[05:51] <pragomer> hi. does xubuntu 18.04 support secure-boot?
[06:30] <pmjdebruijn> pragomer: IIRC it should
[06:30] <pmjdebruijn> probably all ubuntu derivatives
[06:31] <pmjdebruijn> since a few years
[06:31] <pmjdebruijn> pragomer: trivial to test of course :)
[06:46] <pragomer> ok thank you very muc
[07:56] <Nikola_88> hi guys i've installed xubuntu on a macbook pro 3.1. I have a problem with the keyboard: i can't use symbols like the "at" key. I tried to search on web but nothing helps me.
[08:05] <Nikola_88> someone can help me?
[08:10] <pmjdebruijn> presumably you didn't select the correct keymap during the install?
[08:10]  * pmjdebruijn is just guessing
[08:16] <Nikola_88> yes this is the problem: what is the correct keymap to use? i tried generic 104 keys PC, Apple, Macbook/macbookpor (intel)
[08:16] <Nikola_88> but nothings seems to work properly
[08:17] <pmjdebruijn> no clue sorry I never had any Macs
[09:09] <jimini> Hello everyone. I installed Xubuntu 18.04 yesterday and I am running kernel 4.15.0.23. Since this morning, the screen stays black wheen I boot up the system - before, I enter the passphrase to decrypt my disk and afterwards, the screen stays black. The system is reachable via SSH. Xorg.0.log shows the following errors: (EE) modeset(G0): eglGetDisplay() failed; (EE) modeset(G0): glamor initialization failed; (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed
[09:09] <jimini> to initiate mode change.; (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to complete mode change. What is the problem here? With 4.15.0.20 the system boots up fine
[09:10] <pmjdebruijn> no clue
[09:10] <pmjdebruijn> NVIDIA blobs drivers are prone to random failures
[09:10] <pmjdebruijn> you could try reinstalling the nvidia driver package
[09:11] <pmjdebruijn> but stick around, maybe someone else has a better idea
[09:34] <bluesabre> FurretUber: Parole doesn't do anything specific for video proportions. If you're seeing an issue, it's likely a GStreamer bug. Can you also test with totem (GNOME Videos)?
[12:54] <FurretUber> bluesabre: I have installed Totem and it is able to find the correct proportion of the videos. As what I've seen so far, this problem is exclusive to Parole. I have tested with VLC, MPV, FFplay, Totem and Parole. I reported a bug (against Cosmic) about this before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parole/+bug/1778153

[19:36] <tribal_zen> Good afternoon everyone.
[19:39] <diogenes_> hi
[19:40] <tribal_zen> Have a quick question, i'm noticing a lot of lag, sometimes stuttering and screen tears when running normal tasks. Web surfing, mostly. I keep checking for updates and proprietary drivers, everything is up to date.
[19:42] <diogenes_> what gpu?
[19:43] <tribal_zen> AMD Radeon R6
[19:43] <tribal_zen> Running a HP 17-g121wm laptop
[19:44] <tribal_zen> 8GB RAM, Quad-Core 3.2GHz CPU
[19:45] <diogenes_> could try Option "TearFree" "on"
[19:46] <tribal_zen> No idea where to find that. Kinda new to the Xubuntu DE. Also wouldn't help the other issues i seem to be having.
[19:47] <diogenes_> open the terminal
[20:24] <drleviathan> tribal_zen, the load on your laptop is low?  did you try running 'top' or some top-util alternative to see if there is a process consuming CPU/memory?
[20:26] <drleviathan> tribal_zen, try turning off xfce eye candy.  That is, disable: Settings --> Window Manager Tweaks --> Compositor --> Enable display compositing
[20:33] <n-iCe> hi
[23:53] <kumool> how to restart the xfwm?
