| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| Spass | more info about the left and top screen edge flickering (e.g. Whisker) - did some testing on Kubuntu 18.04 and Latte dock doesn't flicker, but Plank does, so maybe it is GTK related? | 12:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Did you try turning off gtk animations? | 12:58 |
| Spass | Unit193, no, where I can disable them? | 12:59 |
| Unit193 | gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false ? | 13:07 |
| Unit193 | Was pretty sure it was in the settings editor under Gtk | 13:08 |
| Spass | ok, will try that | 13:12 |
| brainwash | Spass: it happens in 18.10 too, right? | 13:22 |
| Spass | brainwash, on Xubuntu 18.10 too, yeah | 13:23 |
| brainwash | ok | 13:23 |
| Spass | didn't try other 18.10 flavours, but I assume it's the same | 13:25 |
| Spass | Unit193, animations disabled, Plank still flickers | 13:26 |
| brainwash | I would ask in the gtk channel on the gnome irc network, maybe they can help you identify the cause of this bug | 13:28 |
| Spass | not sure if it's really GTK-related, but I tried so many things so far... on couple distros | 13:29 |
| brainwash | you have to start somewhere | 13:29 |
| Spass | it began somewhere in the 17.04 era and it persist from then | 13:30 |
| brainwash | the gtk people surely know some tricks on how to debug something like this | 13:31 |
| Spass | so maybe that is a clue, maybe a specific GTK version, Xorg version / something else was introduced that time | 13:31 |
| Spass | brainwash, here's some more details - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2397371 | 13:32 |
| brainwash | 16.04.5 should have newer xorg and kernel, maybe worth giving that older version a try too | 13:32 |
| brainwash | see if this bug was introduced in that release also | 13:32 |
| Spass | sure, will try, I have that ISO so I'll burn on my USB now | 13:33 |
| brainwash | it does not happen when using a VM, right? | 13:33 |
| brainwash | VM in full screen mode | 13:34 |
| Spass | yes, all good when in VM | 13:34 |
| brainwash | ok | 13:34 |
| Spass | brainwash, just tested Xubuntu 16.04.1, interesting info that may suggest that it's indeed a GTK3-related issue | 14:16 |
| Spass | Plank flickers, but Whisker menu doesn't | 14:16 |
| Spass | I think that 16.04.5 has Whisker still as a GTK2 plugin | 14:17 |
| Spass | and Indicator Plugin on the panel (WiFi, Bluetooth and sound) flickers, and I think it's a GTK3 plugin | 14:18 |
| Spass | so to summarize, seems like there's something wrong with GTK3 apps / elements on top and left screen edge | 14:19 |
| brainwash | Spass: you tested with both .1 and .5? | 15:35 |
| Spass | only with .5 | 15:35 |
| brainwash | so it was a typo | 15:35 |
| Spass | oh, sorry, yeah didn't notice that typo | 15:36 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: I slipped xfwm4 in as a bugfix release (because, well, it's a bugfix release..) | 20:46 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: that makes sense :) | 21:37 |
