[02:30] @Prab, If you need help in installing PHP, Apache, etc this is a good starting point: … https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04 [06:12] Good morning [11:46] hi there, I run kubuntu with plasma here and it creates some default folders like Pictures, Templates, Public... [11:47] how do I get rid of them permanently? [12:41] 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? [12:46] anarchotaoist, have you run plasma with no issues on that machine before? [12:48] No. It came pre-installed with Ubuntu 16.04. I put in a new larger drive and installed Kubuntu. [12:49] anarchotaoist, inxi -Fx | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:50] @diogenes Sorry, what does that mean? I am new to Linux. [12:51] terminal command? [12:53] anarchotaoist, yes, that a terminal command that will give you a link in the terminal [12:53] you need to share the link you get here [12:54] ok. thanks. I need to install inxi apparently. I quickly do that. [12:55] ok [12:56] 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. [12:57] http://termbin.com/ujzd [12:58] anarchotaoist, what command did you run :) [12:59] nxi -Fx | nc termbin.com 9999 -is that wrong? [12:59] anarchotaoist, it's unreadable ok try what lordievader suggested, run: lspci -k | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:59] share the link here [13:00] Ok, I just pasted that in the browser and saw computer specifications but will try the other command. [13:00] Lovely those color escape codes, eh 😋 [13:00] :) [13:02] Ok, I have specs from "lspci -k" [13:03] and? [13:04] should I put "lspci -k nc termbin.com 9999" [13:04] lspci -k | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:04] and you get a link [13:04] ok [13:05] http://termbin.com/nhc7 [13:06] Is it a server? [13:07] Oh wait, you said it is a laptop. [13:07] Is my laptop a server? [13:07] Laptop with a Xeon? [13:07] Odd [13:07] Yes, a Dell Precision 5520 [13:07] Intel and Nvidia [13:07] and nvidia quadro of :( [13:08] anarchotaoist, ok now run this: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" [13:08] paste here the line you get in terminal [13:08] ok [13:09] string: Quadro M1200/PCIe/SSE2 [13:09] hmm so you switched the driver to nvidia in nvidia-settings? [13:10] Yes, Nvidia 390.48 I think [13:10] go back to nvidia settings > PRIME switch to intel, reboot and come back, see if you still got issues [13:11] ok [13:19] 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. [13:22] anarchotaoist, one more time run: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" [13:22] paste here what you get [13:23] string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (Kaby Lake GT2) [13:23] anarchotaoist, ok now we can try to do a trick [13:23] ok [13:24] in terminal run: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [13:24] just tell me what you get in terminal [13:25] ls: cannot access '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d': No such file or directory [13:25] ok [13:25] run: sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [13:26] just say when done [13:26] ok, new empty line [13:27] now: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf [13:27] doen [13:27] done [13:27] now: sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf [13:29] Executing Kate as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: [13:29] Executing Kate as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: [13:29] SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit [13:29] ok try: pkexec kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf [13:30] same response [13:31] ok can you use nano vim? [13:33] kate sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf opened Kate! [13:33] Yes? [13:33] ok now open this link: http://dpaste.com/3W0SY4S [13:34] paste into that new opened document [13:34] save, close [13:34] done [13:35] after that run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:35] share the link here [13:35] http://termbin.com/fhqe [13:36] open that document again and remove those 1 2 3 4 5 numbers so you leave only the text [13:37] ok [13:37] after that run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:37] share [13:38] http://termbin.com/etp7 [13:39] 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] write somewhere that command [13:39] and then reboot again [13:39] Hey folks [13:40] ok [13:40] hey BluesKaj [13:40] gulp [13:40] hy diogenes_ [13:47] Hey BluesKaj [13:47] How are you doing? [13:54] hey lordievader doing fine ,and you? [13:55] Doing good here. Playing with wireguard. It is so much easier than ipsec 😁 [13:55] no kidding :-) [13:56] Yes, I know. Everything is easier than ipsec 😋 [13:57] considered wireguard, but already use a decent vpn so it's probly not worth the effort [13:58] wireguard seems to be a different protocol then the regular ones like openvpn etc [13:58] then=than [13:58] 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! [13:59] 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 [14:02] oh really!! It is Nvidia that has access to the dedicated graphics, yes, that allows better working in Gimp, Krita etc, yes? [14:05] anarchotaoist, nvidia yes but your nvidia is quadro so it won't be that much performant [14:06] 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? [14:07] in this case mv = rename [14:07] it will rename the conf to conf.back [14:07] ah, yes same directory [14:07] to switch it back: mv conf.bak .conf [14:08] tricky [14:08] but you understood how it works? [14:08] not really. :) [14:08] anarchotaoist, onw more trick you could try [14:09] ok [14:09] to gain more performance and less lag [14:09] 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] reboot afterwards [14:10] ok. I already had it set to xrender [14:10] then you can try to switch it to opengl and see what you get with this new intel configuration' [14:10] maybe you gain some smooth performance [14:11] ok, cheers. Thanks for your help and persistence! [14:11] np [15:58] hello [15:58] how I can change driver for my network card ? [16:35] madghost: Why do you want to? [16:36] Other question, you actually have more than one available? === spiritwalker_ is now known as spiritwalker === feodoran is now known as Guest79404 === feodoran_ is now known as feodoran
