| lordievader | Good morning | 06:12 |
| tomte | hi there, I run kubuntu with plasma here and it creates some default folders like Pictures, Templates, Public... | 11:46 |
| tomte | how do I get rid of them permanently? | 11:47 |
| anarchotaoist | Hello! On a Dell Precision 5520 I am running Kubuntu BB. I have wobble when scrolling, red and green striped icons when I awaken the laptop and sometimes a fractured desktop. Can anyone give advice? | 12:41 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, have you run plasma with no issues on that machine before? | 12:46 |
| anarchotaoist | No. It came pre-installed with Ubuntu 16.04. I put in a new larger drive and installed Kubuntu. | 12:48 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, inxi -Fx | nc termbin.com 9999 | 12:49 |
| anarchotaoist | @diogenes Sorry, what does that mean? I am new to Linux. | 12:50 |
| anarchotaoist | terminal command? | 12:51 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, yes, that a terminal command that will give you a link in the terminal | 12:53 |
| diogenes_ | you need to share the link you get here | 12:53 |
| anarchotaoist | ok. thanks. I need to install inxi apparently. I quickly do that. | 12:54 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 12:55 |
| lordievader | If you want to know the system details it is often easier to ask for `lspci -k` output. Lspci is more likely installed than inxi. | 12:56 |
| anarchotaoist | http://termbin.com/ujzd | 12:57 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, what command did you run :) | 12:58 |
| anarchotaoist | nxi -Fx | nc termbin.com 9999 -is that wrong? | 12:59 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, it's unreadable ok try what lordievader suggested, run: lspci -k | nc termbin.com 9999 | 12:59 |
| diogenes_ | share the link here | 12:59 |
| anarchotaoist | Ok, I just pasted that in the browser and saw computer specifications but will try the other command. | 13:00 |
| lordievader | Lovely those color escape codes, eh 😋 | 13:00 |
| diogenes_ | :) | 13:00 |
| anarchotaoist | Ok, I have specs from "lspci -k" | 13:02 |
| diogenes_ | and? | 13:03 |
| anarchotaoist | should I put "lspci -k nc termbin.com 9999" | 13:04 |
| diogenes_ | lspci -k | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:04 |
| diogenes_ | and you get a link | 13:04 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 13:04 |
| anarchotaoist | http://termbin.com/nhc7 | 13:05 |
| lordievader | Is it a server? | 13:06 |
| lordievader | Oh wait, you said it is a laptop. | 13:07 |
| anarchotaoist | Is my laptop a server? | 13:07 |
| lordievader | Laptop with a Xeon? | 13:07 |
| lordievader | Odd | 13:07 |
| anarchotaoist | Yes, a Dell Precision 5520 | 13:07 |
| anarchotaoist | Intel and Nvidia | 13:07 |
| diogenes_ | and nvidia quadro of :( | 13:07 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, ok now run this: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" | 13:08 |
| diogenes_ | paste here the line you get in terminal | 13:08 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 13:08 |
| anarchotaoist | string: Quadro M1200/PCIe/SSE2 | 13:09 |
| diogenes_ | hmm so you switched the driver to nvidia in nvidia-settings? | 13:09 |
| anarchotaoist | Yes, Nvidia 390.48 I think | 13:10 |
| diogenes_ | go back to nvidia settings > PRIME switch to intel, reboot and come back, see if you still got issues | 13:10 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 13:11 |
| anarchotaoist | Hello. I have rebooted. I have not been able to reproduce the red & green striped icons upon awakening the laptop from sleep. That said, it does not happen every time. I am still getting very bad wobble/ripple when scrolling. | 13:19 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, one more time run: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" | 13:22 |
| diogenes_ | paste here what you get | 13:22 |
| anarchotaoist | string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (Kaby Lake GT2) | 13:23 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, ok now we can try to do a trick | 13:23 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 13:23 |
| diogenes_ | in terminal run: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 13:24 |
| diogenes_ | just tell me what you get in terminal | 13:24 |
| anarchotaoist | ls: cannot access '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d': No such file or directory | 13:25 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 13:25 |
| diogenes_ | run: sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 13:25 |
| diogenes_ | just say when done | 13:26 |
| anarchotaoist | ok, new empty line | 13:26 |
| diogenes_ | now: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 13:27 |
| anarchotaoist | doen | 13:27 |
| anarchotaoist | done | 13:27 |
| diogenes_ | now: sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 13:27 |
| anarchotaoist | Executing Kate as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: | 13:29 |
| anarchotaoist | Executing Kate as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: | 13:29 |
| anarchotaoist | SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit <file> | 13:29 |
| diogenes_ | ok try: pkexec kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 13:29 |
| anarchotaoist | same response | 13:30 |
| diogenes_ | ok can you use nano vim? | 13:31 |
| anarchotaoist | kate sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf opened Kate! | 13:33 |
| anarchotaoist | Yes? | 13:33 |
| diogenes_ | ok now open this link: http://dpaste.com/3W0SY4S | 13:33 |
| diogenes_ | paste into that new opened document | 13:34 |
| diogenes_ | save, close | 13:34 |
| anarchotaoist | done | 13:34 |
| diogenes_ | after that run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:35 |
| diogenes_ | share the link here | 13:35 |
| anarchotaoist | http://termbin.com/fhqe | 13:35 |
| diogenes_ | open that document again and remove those 1 2 3 4 5 numbers so you leave only the text | 13:36 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 13:37 |
| diogenes_ | after that run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:37 |
| diogenes_ | share | 13:37 |
| anarchotaoist | http://termbin.com/etp7 | 13:38 |
| diogenes_ | looks good this time, now you go ahead and reboot BUT be careful, if for some reason you are welcomed with a black screen, you need to switch to VT by alt+ctrl+f1/2/3 and run: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.bak | 13:39 |
| diogenes_ | write somewhere that command | 13:39 |
| diogenes_ | and then reboot again | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 13:39 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 13:40 |
| diogenes_ | hey BluesKaj | 13:40 |
| anarchotaoist | gulp | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | hy diogenes_ | 13:40 |
| lordievader | Hey BluesKaj | 13:47 |
| lordievader | How are you doing? | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | hey lordievader doing fine ,and you? | 13:54 |
| lordievader | Doing good here. Playing with wireguard. It is so much easier than ipsec 😁 | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | no kidding :-) | 13:55 |
| lordievader | Yes, I know. Everything is easier than ipsec 😋 | 13:56 |
| BluesKaj | considered wireguard, but already use a decent vpn so it's probly not worth the effort | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | wireguard seems to be a different protocol then the regular ones like openvpn etc | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | then=than | 13:58 |
| anarchotaoist | Hello @diogenes_ That seems to have taken a lot of the wobble out of the scrolling - however it is a more jagged now! ? Opening the laptop from sleep does not fuzz the icons. Cool! Will it work this way if I switch back to Nvidia? Thanks! | 13:58 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, that's the problem, it might not work if you switch to nvidia and nvidia probably won't even start so whenever you switch to nvidia, you need to run: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.bak | 13:59 |
| anarchotaoist | oh really!! It is Nvidia that has access to the dedicated graphics, yes, that allows better working in Gimp, Krita etc, yes? | 14:02 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, nvidia yes but your nvidia is quadro so it won't be that much performant | 14:05 |
| anarchotaoist | ok. mv = move, yes? Can I just copy the file to the other directory so they are in both places or does it not work that way? | 14:06 |
| diogenes_ | in this case mv = rename | 14:07 |
| diogenes_ | it will rename the conf to conf.back | 14:07 |
| anarchotaoist | ah, yes same directory | 14:07 |
| diogenes_ | to switch it back: mv conf.bak .conf | 14:07 |
| anarchotaoist | tricky | 14:08 |
| diogenes_ | but you understood how it works? | 14:08 |
| anarchotaoist | not really. :) | 14:08 |
| diogenes_ | anarchotaoist, onw more trick you could try | 14:08 |
| anarchotaoist | ok | 14:09 |
| diogenes_ | to gain more performance and less lag | 14:09 |
| diogenes_ | go to system settings > desktop > hardware (somewhere there i can't remember exactly) you need to switch the compositor backend from opengl to xrender | 14:09 |
| diogenes_ | reboot afterwards | 14:09 |
| anarchotaoist | ok. I already had it set to xrender | 14:10 |
| diogenes_ | then you can try to switch it to opengl and see what you get with this new intel configuration' | 14:10 |
| diogenes_ | maybe you gain some smooth performance | 14:10 |
| anarchotaoist | ok, cheers. Thanks for your help and persistence! | 14:11 |
| diogenes_ | np | 14:11 |
| madghost | hello | 15:58 |
| madghost | how I can change driver for my network card ? | 15:58 |
| lordievader | madghost: Why do you want to? | 16:35 |
| lordievader | Other question, you actually have more than one available? | 16:36 |
