tomreynhmm, that's a miracle about those uefi issues...01:18
tomreynmeanwhile i'm looking into a reproducible kernel panic on 18.04 (only one user, though, with a specific workload and old hardware)01:21
lotuspsychjegood morning to all02:59
sonicwindhey lotuspsychje03:15
lotuspsychjehey sonicwind all good on your side?03:15
sonicwindyup yup03:16
lordievaderGood morning06:19
ducassegood morning06:29
oerhekshello beautifull06:36
ducassehi gorgeous06:37
lordievader👋06:46
ducassehi lordievader - how are you doing?06:46
lordievaderDoing good here06:57
blackflowAnyone using chromium snap? It doesn't work. The window opens, but is black, no controls.09:02
lordievaderblackflow: What happens when you start it from a terminal?09:10
blackflowlordievader: opengl errors it seems09:12
lordievaderWhat is the output of `sudo lspci -k`?09:12
blackflowlordievader: what do you really want to know, I'm not a noob :)09:13
lordievaderThe output.09:13
blackflowmy gpu is working fine, nvidia proprietary driver, I even game on this machine, vulkan in wine'd steam included.09:13
lordievaderWhich modules are all loaded for your nvidia gpu?09:14
blackflowlordievader:  "Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia"09:18
lordievaderYou should blacklist nouveau, they are likely fighting over the hardware. The nvidia driver install should blacklist it, but this sometimes fails.09:18
blackflownouvau is not loaded by the kernel09:19
lordievaderYou just said it was?09:20
blackflowit's not mentioned by lsmod. the output above is lspci -k09:20
blackflowthis is what the kernel lists: https://dpaste.de/SRux09:21
lordievaderThat is strange. lspci -k should show the kernel modules which are loaded for the hardware.09:21
blackflownah, just which _might_ be loaded. that's why I asked, what you _really_ wanted to know :)09:21
lordievaderThat is all output of `lsmod`, or is it filtered?09:21
blackflowneway, the gpu is working fine. non-snap'd chromium is working fine. snap'd one (and one version newer) does not. I suspec the opengl interface orwhatsitcalled for snaps.09:22
blackflowlordievader: that's grep nvidia.   no "nouvau" in teh output09:22
blackflow*nouveau09:22
lordievaderRight. Yeah. That does point towards snaps. It might be that they have wrong libraries or something. Don't know much about snaps, but I thought it had embedded libraries or something.09:23
HEX0I'm thinking of buying an old thinkpad with core 2 duo T9900 @ 3GHz with 8GB RAM and SSD. Do you think that CPU is still decent enough for browsing the bloated web and watching 1080p video? or is it gonna be a lagfest?09:24
blackflowor the permission to use the nvidia /dev(ices). I don't know the details, but installing the snap at some point started listing interfaces activated, opengl was one of them, and that's why I think it's broken09:25
lordievaderblackflow: Are snap applications run under a different user?09:25
blackflowwhich is why i was wondering if anyone was using the chromium snap. these things should, in theory, working or being broken, equally evereywhere.09:25
lordievaderHEX0: I don't think it will make you happy.09:25
blackflowlordievader: no, I even started it from the CLI to see teh output (and saw opengl failures)09:26
HEX0lordievader: not even at 3GHz? I figured  the clock is pretty high even for a laptop from 200909:26
blackflowHEX0: the cpumark is important. lemmesee.... 2127 according to cpubenchmark.net. You're good.09:27
lordievaderHEX0: I was running a similar set up for a while (desktop though). It worked. But I preferred my laptop with an i5.09:27
HEX0no DE, just tiling wm and firefox without lag is all I need. I'm ok with long compiles09:27
blackflowHEX0: I'd say, from personal experience, it starts to become annoyance and lagfest at less than 1000 cpumark @ cpubenchmark.net09:27
HEX0blackflow: ok thanks for input :)09:28
lordievaderIf you are okay with slower start up times... you can buy it. But I'd save my money and buy something more worthwhile.09:28
blackflowlowest I ran was ~800, which incidentally was a relatiely modern cpu (2013 celeron, with AESNI of all things) and it was slooooow09:29
HEX0libreboot+SSD so boot times should be fine :) cpu is the thing I was most concerned with09:29
blackflowHEX0: which vm btw? i3?09:30
HEX0blackflow: sway09:30
blackflowthat's teh compositor, no?09:30
lordievaderThe processing power also plays a part at startup. (Was more talking about applications startup, though)09:30
HEX0my current laptop from 2013 with an old 30GB ssd boots crazy fast. Startup finished in 2.900s (firmware) + 156ms (loader) + 2.070s (kernel) + 3.208s (userspace) = 8.336s09:30
HEX0graphical.target reached after 3.208s in userspace09:30
HEX0blackflow: sway is i3 clone but wayland. so yeah it's tiling wayland compositor09:31
blackflowHEX0: oh it's a full wm? I thought it was just a compositor09:32
HEX0blackflow: https://github.com/swaywm/sway09:32
blackflowHEX0: yeah I know the thing but I always thought it was just a wayland compositor.09:33
HEX0it's pretty much full implementation/clone of i309:33
HEX0well still work in progress :)09:33
lotuspsychjealot of qwebirc's lately09:48
