[00:34] <Kumool> what a thing to say and leave after 3 minutes
[00:35] <johanhelmuth> Yeah, that was a bit odd
[08:26] <xubuntu37w> Hi gang. When I right click say for example my terminal, the dropdown menu has a shadow which is about 20px greater than the geometery of the menu. i.e there is the encasing shadow, some transparent space, then the menu
[08:26] <xubuntu37w> has anyone seen this before / know how to fix this?
[08:27] <xubuntu37w> http://i.imgur.com/i38LLkl.png an image for reference
[08:29] <diogenes_> xubuntu37w, not sure i've come across that issue but have a look at: settings > window manager tweaks > compositor
[08:31] <xubuntu37w> Good idea. Do you know if changes to compositor settings take place immediately or do i need to log in and out?
[08:31] <diogenes_> xubuntu37w, first try to disable the compositor altogether and see if there is any change, it should have the immediate effect
[08:35] <xubuntu37w> (i had disabled the compositor before, attempting to fix screen tearing issue)
[08:36] <xubuntu37w> come to think of it, I should probably be troubleshooting compton. Thanks for your help
[14:53] <xubuntu86w> I'm sorry if I arrive directly with my problem, but I have an issue with xubuntu. I accidentally set the resolution wrong and now my screen doesn't get a video signal anymore. I can still go into terminal mode via control-F1 or into a low resolution version via recovery mode, which works if necessary. But I have to write something for school and that is very hard for me with the low resolution. I'd really appreciate quick help.
[14:54] <xubuntu86w> Right now I'm in recovery mode. I only own this one computer.
[14:56] <Spass> hello xubuntu86w, what's your Xubuntu version? what graphics card are you using? what driver are you using for it?
[14:57] <xubuntu86w> In terminal mode, it says Ubuntu 18.10, but it's xubuntu, probably the same version. My graphics card is nVidia, some gForce 7xx (I can find out in detail if neccessary) and I am using the free driver (which I'd like to continue as I only use propietary software if really neccessary).
[14:57] <xubuntu86w> Thank you
[15:01] <xubuntu86w> Not GForce, it's an NVidia 720 GT
[15:01] <xubuntu86w> I'm sorry...
[15:06] <xubuntu86w> Not sure if that works, but could I attempt to use a shortcut to open a terminal and enter some command to reset the resolution. As far as I understood this subject, the graphical envireoment is not away, it's just invisible because my screen doesn't understand this low resolution.
[15:07] <Spass> do you have something in the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file?
[15:07] <xubuntu86w> Let me see
[15:08] <xubuntu86w> cat xorg.conf didn't return anything. It appears empty
[15:09] <Spass> where did you set the wrong resolution? somewhere in the GUI settings?
[15:09] <xubuntu86w> Yes, it was a GUI.
[15:10] <xubuntu86w> The program is called 'Anzeige', at least in the german language version. Anzeige roughly means Display
[15:11] <xubuntu86w> I already attempted to use that tool in recovery mode but that wasn't possible
[15:12] <Spass> so when you type this command "xfconf-query -c displays -lv" you can see that wrongly set resolution there, correct?
[15:12] <Spass> something like "/Default/XXX/Resolution"
[15:13] <xubuntu86w> "/Default/DVI-D-1/Resolution   320x180" YES! But currently I have 800X600 in recovery mode. But yes, I believe the wrong resolution was that one (But I'm not sure...)
[15:14] <xubuntu86w> My screen is indeed connected using DVI-D
[15:16] <Spass> ok, what resolution you want to have?
[15:17] <Spass> what's the native resolution of your screen?
[15:17] <xubuntu86w> 1920X1080
[15:17] <xubuntu86w> (Full HD)
[15:18] <Spass> not sure if it will work, but try this command "xfconf-query -c displays -p /Default/DVI-D-1/Resolution -s 1920x1080"
[15:19] <Spass> and then check if something changed using "xfconf-query -c displays -p /Default/DVI-D-1/Resolution -v"
[15:19] <xubuntu86w> Well nothing immediatly happend but this might just be the case because I'm in recovery mode. I'll reboot and report my progress. Thank you for help.
[15:19] <xubuntu86w> Wrote this in reply to your first message, sorry.
[15:19] <xubuntu86w> In reply of the second: Yes, its 1920x1080
[15:20] <Spass> second command should show you the change
[15:20] <Spass> ok, try to reboot :)
[15:20] <xubuntu86w> Alright, see you later
[15:20] <Spass> shutdown -r now
[15:22] <xubuntu60w> Thank you SO MUCH!
[15:22] <xubuntu60w> It worked
[15:22] <Spass> great, glad I could help
[16:00] <johanhelmuth> What is the most stable nvidia driver for Xubuntu 18.04 right now?
[16:00] <johanhelmuth> It seems I'm having some slight issues with 418 at the moment.
[16:05] <Spass> Xubuntu 18.04 officially has 390.116 as tested (it's in the official repos), it worked fine for me, but I've recently installed 418 from the PPA and it's fine for me too so far
[16:12] <johanhelmuth> Yeah, everything worked fine with 418, until I tried using nvenc on OBS as the encoder. I'm fairly certain it's a driver issue, since I can convert video files using nvenc with ffmmpeg.
[16:12] <johanhelmuth> Or, I shouldn't say driver issue. An OBS issue with the 418 driver, rather.
[19:36] <__Myst__> j/close
[21:38] <xubuntu47d> my screen is zoomed in and follows my mouse arround
[21:38] <xubuntu47d> how do i revert it back to normal?
[21:38] <gnrp> alt+mouse wheel
[21:38] <gnrp> (scroll down)
[21:39] <xubuntu47d> thank you
[22:29] <mdadm_hurts> intalling xubuntu on previously existing software RAID. Any pointers?
