[07:42] hi, i have a netbook running 18.04 i read somewhere i could do: sudo do-release-upgrade [07:42] i tried that, and it said there is no new [07:42] is this not how it's done? [07:44] zap0 18.04 to 18.10 can be quite a wierd job and is not officialy supported since 18.10 uses lxqt and 18.04 is still the gtk2 lxde [07:44] well 18.04 is lts so you have to tell it to check for every new version [07:44] ah ok. [07:45] https://manual.lubuntu.me/D/upgrading.html is if you really want to go through with this [07:45] as long as i update regularly is there really any reasons to upgrade to 18.10 then? [07:45] do you want to use LXQt [07:46] over LXDE [07:46] i have no need for that. [07:46] then 18.04 probably makes more sense for that case [07:47] ok. thank you. appreciate the sage advice. [11:12] Hey. I am trying to find how I am running ibus anthy automatically on boot. I have lubuntu 14.04 (sys v init I guess) and i3 window manager. For example where are the files that are added originally from Open System > Preferences > Startup Applications [11:12] or similar [11:45] Hey I get some random stutters in my video playback with mpv on Lubuntu 18.10 with Intel HD Graphics 5500 GPU. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? [11:46] Yohkii: I am suprised it is only a video problem. Usually on modern intel gpus nothing works as expected anymore [11:46] Unfortunately it's a problem affecting all variants of 18.10 [11:46] :C [11:46] The intel driver is utter crap and modesettings breaks here and there aswell [11:46] The strange thing is I can play the same bit of video twice and the stutter only happens the first time [11:47] so up until sandy bridge (Intel HD3000) you can use the intel driver everything after it and it runs like ...... [11:47] Yohkii: try another backend maybe for the video acceleration [11:47] mpv should use opengl by default I suppose. Try vaapi if available or even the old xv [11:48] tried both vaapi and xv, takes a bit longer to stutter but still happens [11:48] The console don't really report anyhing when it happens, it just seems to count two/three seconds really fast all of a sudden [11:49] CPU reports >10% usage on all cores too, so I just don't get it [11:49] ok thats weird then. Does it happen with another video player like vlc aswell? [11:50] Same thing with vlc [11:51] I'll try some different output optins in VLC, I guess [11:53] Yohkii: otherwise also install inxi and give me the output of inxi -G [11:53] Graphics: Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 5500 driver: i915 v: kernel [11:53] Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.1 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa [11:53] resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz [11:53] OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) v: 4.5 Mesa 18.2.2 [12:06] Configure vlc to use X11 output video [12:06] Disable system effects [12:07] Install Oibaf newest xorg and Mesa drivers [12:07] For me get a little better [12:08] But things are really bad with gnome [12:09] Thanks, I'll try that [12:11] There are some tutorials to enable dri3 on Intel HD graphics [12:11] Some cases help too [13:11] Now only audio output is jumpy, and less often...

I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall but I have not solved it. [16:43] how did you install it? [16:43] sudo apt-get install telegram [16:44] you mean telegram-desktop? [16:44] or sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop [16:44] Yes telegram-desktop [16:44] if that installed correctly you should have a /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop [16:45] Permission denided [16:45] denied * [16:46] permission denied doing what? [16:46] I tried to search /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop in the terminal, but it tells me permission denied [16:52] yeah i can't reprorudce that behavior [16:53] how did you try to search? [16:55] by writing to the /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop terminal [16:56] you mean you entered in: [16:56] /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop [16:56] and hit enter? [16:56] yes [16:56] apparently you're not familiar with the terminal, as that does not search, but attempts to execute it [16:57] you can use the `cat` command before it to list its contents [17:06] [Desktop Entry] [17:06] Version=1.0 [17:06] Name=Telegram Desktop [17:06] Comment=Official desktop version of Telegram messaging app [17:06] Exec=telegram-desktop -- %u [17:06] Icon=telegram [17:08] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yyjVsvWs5M/ [17:33] Wick: it has no "Category" key? [17:34] Catgories, that is [17:35] here's the file from debian, which should be consistent with ubuntu https://salsa.debian.org/debian/telegram-desktop/blob/debian/master/lib/xdg/telegramdesktop.desktop [17:36] with the Network category, it should end up in network [17:37] it is identical [17:37] based on the version number, it doesn't seem ubuntu has made any changes to the debian package [17:38] uhm [17:38] so look in the "Internet" category [17:39] there is not... [17:39] even across reboots? [17:40] Exact [17:42] weird [17:42] works for me [17:43] in a terminal do `ls -al /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop | awk '{print $1, $3, $4}'` [17:43] what do you get from that? [17:46] -rw-r--r-- root root [17:47] and that all looks good [17:48] whats minimum space required for 18.10? [17:48] for VM [17:49] we don't really publish minimums but 8gb should be sufficient [17:50] no no I meant space [17:50] disk space, right? [17:50] ye ! [17:50] that's the question i responded to [17:51] you did [17:51] thansk [17:51] Wick: does `desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop` return anything? [17:54] 3 times now i have installed the telegram-desktop deb package. each time it immediately adds the "Telegram Desktop" entry in the "Internet" category between "Quassel IRC" and "Trojitá." each time, i purged it and it was immediately removed. [17:55] is it possible you installed the snap package instead? [17:57] I do not think I installed telegram with sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop [17:57] how did you install it? [17:58] terminal [17:58] then you either did that or you installed the snap package [17:59] that i remember no... [17:59] which would generally involve you using the snap command rather than apt [17:59] are you saying you don't remember/ [18:00] Remember to have installed telegram only through the command: sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop [18:00] if that's the case, i have repeated the same exact behavior and it works fine for me [18:00] at least on 18.10 [18:02] um ... then are you done to completely remove telegram-desktop from Lubuntu? I reinstall it maybe I "appears" [18:03] i'm having trouble understanding you but to completely remove it and all dependencies you would do: [18:03] sudo apt purge telegram-desktop [18:03] sudo apt autoremove [18:05] now reinstall telegram ? [18:05] again, i did an install and then that 3 times over and each time it did what it was supposed to [18:05] if your intention is to uninstall and reinstall, then yes, you would `sudo apt install telegram-desktop` [18:07] there is not telegram on Internet >_< [18:08] are you sure you have 18.10? [18:08] `lsb_release -r` should tell you [18:08] also it might be interesting to see what `apt-cache policy telegram-desktop` tells you. [18:13] yes 'im sure 18.10 [18:13] is it a fresh install or an upgrade? [18:13] and you're sure this is lubuntu? XD [18:14] Hahahahahaha, yes lubuntu 18.10 [18:14] fresh install or upgrade? [18:14] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Ww5QB8MPJ8/ [18:15] fresh install [18:15] yeah i'm at a loss [18:15] everything looks normal from what i can tell [18:16] a bug that can't be reproduced is, sadly, an unfixable bug :/ [18:16] try copying that .desktop file to your Desktop folder [18:16] you might be able to double click it there [18:17] alternately move it to ~/.local/share/applications, though i bet you'll have to chown it to your ownership [18:18] Telegram is not on the desktop, [18:19] copy it there [18:19] launch 'telegram-desktop' on terminal [18:21] what should i copy ? [18:21] sorry >_< [18:21] /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop [18:22] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sCJwkQ8tYv/ [18:22] no [18:22] copy the file [18:22] cat /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop > ~/.local/share/applications [18:22] paste the file in your desktop folder [18:22] then you do not have to change any permissions [18:24] tells me /home/name/.local/share/applications: it's a directory [18:25] XD [18:26] https://share.riseup.net/#etM3vb2tlgkEuH6lsCsFLQ [18:27] sorry: `cat /usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop > [18:27] ~/.local/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop` [18:30] ok wxl, done [18:30] which is done? [18:30] i copied telegram to the desktop [18:30] so if you did everything i showed in that video, you should just be able to use it.. as i showed in the video [18:31] yes i can use it [18:32] horray [18:32] well we didn't solve the problem of getting the menu item to work, but at least you don't have to use the terminal to launch it [18:33] yes.... thank :D [18:33] np [18:34] thanks again! see you next time, bye bye [18:34] take care [18:35] i will learn [18:35] :) === saptech_ is now known as saptech [21:34] Can you get the video at https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/9smwye/little_brother_tried_to_impress_me/?st=jnw9157w&sh=aa8bc55c to load? Should I report this as a bug? [21:35] Even if I select 240p, the video image stops moving, while the playback status bar progresses as if the video is playing -- it's acting like the video's too much for this computer to handle, but the CPU and memory I'm sure are not maxed out ... [21:35] ... no, actually the CPU shows max in ctrl+alt+del window [21:36] (with the 2 GB RAM ~75% full) [21:36] when i close that video the CPU drops back down to ~30% (1.6 GHz CPU I think). so it seems that video maxes out the CPU and fails to render properly. is this a 1.6 GHz limitation? or should it be working? [21:37] (1.66 GHz) [21:37] (Intel T2300) [22:13] in chromium worked for me [22:16] remember that hw acceleration is not available in firefox nor chromium in linux [22:17] you could try to get the video url (in this case https://v.redd.it/3ubh991b4bv11/HLSPlaylist.m3u8 ) and play it in vlc which has hw acceleration
