[01:13] <ball> My daughter's Xubuntu box appears to be hosed. Blank desktop with no menus.  I have a cunning plan though...
[01:20]  * ball sighs
[01:20] <ball> Nope.  It's probably time to nuke and pave.
[20:16] <zr-0> Hello
[20:18] <zr-0> Just set up xubuntu for first time, forgot of what to and how to do things to get everything to run into my liking. I'm trying to fix Graphic tearing right now, currently taken me from forums to forums. Files changed but the problem is still there
[20:18] <zr-0> not sure if this is the right chat too soo, im sorry in advance
[20:32] <diogenes_> zr-0, run: sudo lscpi -nnk | grep VGA -A3
[20:33] <diogenes_> paste the output to ubuntupaste, share the link here
[20:35] <zr-0> diogenes, Got an output of "sudo: lscpi: command not found"
[20:36] <diogenes_> zr-0, sorry: lspci
[20:36] <diogenes_> not lscpi
[20:38] <zr-0> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4ZGYtMmbhM/
[20:40] <diogenes_> zr-0, try this: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
[20:43] <zr-0> Okay, seems like it executed. Im back on my native Screen resolution
[20:43] <diogenes_> what about screen tearing?
[20:49] <zr-0> Its better, Tearing is now minimal. Im gonna see if i can scale up a resolution without having to deal with tearing
[20:49] <zr-0> Is there a way of safely doing that?
[20:53] <zr-0> I just miss my nvida scaling to 1080p back on windows, im currently using a 1360x768 60hz Vizio tv
[20:54] <diogenes_> zr-0, run: xrandr
[20:54] <diogenes_> it will tell you the maximum available resolution
[20:55] <zr-0> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NHV5rxtc6h/
[20:56] <diogenes_> zr-0, now run: xrandr --size 1920x1080
[20:57] <zr-0> currently on 1080i
[20:58] <zr-0> everything flickers like i can see refresh rates
[20:59] <diogenes_> then maybe try compiz or compton, i personally like compiz
[21:01] <zr-0> yeah i might just do that. I been jumping distros like crazy lately. Ill see ya guys around. Thank you
