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