[09:04] <xubuntu95w> how can I get myscreen to the right colors? greens look like blues,yeellows look like whites
[09:05] <pmjdebruijn> with my screen, you mean your actual monitor?
[09:05] <pmjdebruijn> typically (x)ubuntu has no special effect on colors
[09:05] <gnrp> xubuntu95w: Sounds more like a defunct cable?
[09:06] <pmjdebruijn> what graphics card do you have (using which driver), what type of connector are you using to connect the system to the monitor, what type of monitor are you using?
[22:57] <quadrat> Hey, I just installed xubuntu, as I was told that is the 'main' distro for xfce. But right out of the box I have 2 problems (the fist one is in xfce itself, probably?) https://imgur.com/a/VR4nFa9 is there a fix to that? I get that every time I open a new thunar window for the first time
[22:59] <brainwash> quadrat: that is a GTK bug
[23:00] <brainwash> a new one
[23:00] <quadrat> oh damn, so no way around it brainwash?
[23:00] <brainwash> other than downgrading GTK3? I guess no
[23:01] <brainwash> same bug can be seen in Nemo, Nautilus and probably other places also
[23:01] <quadrat> and the other one is, I want to use Parole media player, the live iso works perfect, but installed (with all codecs) almost nothing plays
[23:02] <quadrat> and some vids, with the same codec works, and the next file doesnt
[23:03] <quadrat> I made sure that gstreamer1.0 plugins are installed (with the ubuntu-restricted-extras) but almost nothing plays
[23:04] <brainwash> what is the error message?
[23:04] <quadrat> give me a sec
[23:04] <quadrat> mesa: for the -simplifycfg-sink-common option: may only occur zero or one times!
[23:04] <quadrat> mesa: for the -global-isel-abort option: may only occur zero or one times!
[23:04] <quadrat> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[23:05] <brainwash> that is bad
[23:05] <quadrat> huh?
[23:05] <brainwash> a Segmentation fault is
[23:05] <brainwash> that's a crash
[23:05] <brainwash> = bad
[23:05] <quadrat> well, how come it works on the live usb?
[23:05] <quadrat> oh okay :)
[23:06] <brainwash> does the same happen with "gst-play-1.0 <videofile>"?
[23:07] <quadrat> what package ist that? as the command is not available
[23:07] <brainwash> doesn't it offer you to install the needed package?
[23:07] <quadrat> no
[23:08] <brainwash> Provided by: gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps
[23:08] <quadrat> thanks
[23:08] <brainwash> ohh mmh
[23:08] <quadrat> hm?
[23:09] <brainwash> did you install the vaapi gstreamer plugin?
[23:09] <brainwash> this may be problematic
[23:09] <brainwash> and not present when using the live iso
[23:09] <quadrat> it was autoinstalled brainwash
[23:10] <brainwash> I would check if removing it helps
[23:11] <quadrat> .. yup thanks it works brainwash :)
[23:12] <brainwash> so, vaapi support is still somewhat bugged :/
[23:12] <brainwash> I saw a bug report for it some time ago
[23:12] <quadrat> weird, because before that I was on debian, and it worked fine (and I'm pretty sure it was installed)
[23:12] <quadrat> (in buster)
[23:14] <brainwash> interesting
[23:14] <quadrat> will check it out again on a live usb
[23:15] <quadrat> but I thought, with a ryzen + igpu it does makes sense to go ubuntu, just for the newer mesa+kernel
[23:20] <brainwash> newer means new bugs also
[23:20] <brainwash> like the menu bug
[23:21] <quadrat> well, that kind of bug, I don't mind too much, the parole thing is more annoying as my cpu fan is spinning faster :(
[23:21] <quadrat> but it should not happen too much probably
[23:33] <brainwash> quadrat: you could try a different media player
[23:36] <quadrat> brainwash, sure, which ones do you want to have tested?
[23:37] <brainwash> mpv I guess
[23:37] <quadrat> sure, probably with vaapi?
[23:37] <brainwash> mpv --hwdec=auto <file>
[23:37] <brainwash> with and without
[23:38] <brainwash> see what works best for you
[23:39] <quadrat> brainwash, works good, almost no cpu usage
[23:40] <brainwash> great
[23:41] <quadrat> brainwash, about 1-2%
[23:42] <quadrat> maybe also to specify h264 main10 profile
