[06:03] <HiddenDjinn> i'm having an issue with thunderbird on a fresh install of xubuntu
[10:08] <rohan1> hi , I am rohan and start using xubuntu 18.04 today. Everything is working out of the box except the screen tearing issue, can some help me resolve this. i have intel graphic on my pc.
[10:09] <diogenes_> rohan1, did you enable composition?
[10:09] <rohan1> how to enable it?
[10:10] <diogenes_> window-manager-tweaks > compositor
[10:14] <rohan1> synchronize drawing to the vertical blank- yeah it's already enabled. but, I am still getting screen tearing when I am watching videos
[10:15] <diogenes_> rohan1, in terminal run: man intel
[10:16] <diogenes_> also run: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3
[10:16] <diogenes_> and pastebin the output.
[10:16] <diogenes_> !pastebin | rohan1
[10:17] <rohan1> ok wait
[10:19] <diogenes_> first when you run man intel, don't paste here anything, just tell me if you get anythng in the terminal.
[10:22] <rohan1> yeah when I am running man intel it is giving me some info about how to enable tearfree on and off and so on
[10:23] <diogenes_> ok now pastebin the second command.
[10:23] <diogenes_> and share the link here.
[10:24] <rohan1> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bNMJtsxrsh/
[10:26] <diogenes_> rohan1, ok good now run: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
[10:26] <rohan1> ok
[10:26] <diogenes_> just tell me if you see any files or it gives you an error.
[10:28] <rohan1> ls: cannot access '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d': No such file or directory
[10:28] <rohan1> this is what I am getting
[10:28] <diogenes_> rohan1, ok now run: sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
[10:28] <diogenes_> tell me when done.
[10:29] <rohan1> done
[10:30] <diogenes_> rohan1, ok now open this link and run the exact command as a whole in terminal, just copy/paste/enter and password: http://dpaste.com/1XK4X3N
[10:30] <rohan1> ok
[10:31] <diogenes_> tell me when done.
[10:32] <rohan1> done
[10:32] <diogenes_> ok now run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | nc termbin.com 9999
[10:32] <diogenes_> you gonna get a link in terminal, share it here.
[10:33] <rohan1> https://termbin.com/zcmf
[10:34] <diogenes_> rohan1, ok look good, now after reboot it should be fine but, wrtie down the following command in case you are getting a black screen at startup:
[10:35] <diogenes_> 1) ctrl+alt+f1, write your username and password
[10:35] <diogenes_> 2) sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[10:35] <diogenes_> 3) systemctl reboot
[10:36] <diogenes_> that's it.
[10:36] <rohan1> ok
[10:37] <rohan1> ok I will inform you after a reboot
[10:37] <diogenes_> ok
[10:42] <rohan1> screen tearing has gone after the reboot. thanks for your valuable help.......:-D
[10:43] <diogenes_> glad it worked, yw.
[11:11] <xubuntu31w> Hello, may i have a question for install/upgrade  from KUBUNTU > XUBUNTU over SSH. There are installations in a network with KUBUNTU but i want take a new installtion of XUBUNTU. Is it possible to do this over remote (SSH ist active) or not? Sorry my english is not so good...=L
[11:13] <xubuntu31w> ....i want take a new installation, there are many network problems  with kubuntu...
[16:41] <Noboru55> diogenes_ hello, did you try install the xubuntu focal fossa?
[16:41] <diogenes_> Noboru55, no
[16:42] <Noboru55> diogenes_ i didn't try the 19.04.. maybe it works better then 19.10 to me
[16:44] <diogenes_> Noboru55, it still uses xfce 4.12 so i guess no big difference.
[16:45] <Noboru55> i see.. the xfce 4.12 is not a problem, but the 18.04 works better beacuse the video drivers and config. and the cpu usage when copying and moving files
[16:46] <Noboru55> i do not know the difference of 18.04 and 19.10 in this kind of work, like video e moving copying files
[16:46] <Noboru55> the 19.10 really works in slow way here
[16:46] <Noboru55> =/
[16:47] <Noboru55> so was thinking to try 20.04 to see how it works.... even its just in begining of the version
[16:47] <diogenes_> Noboru55, as an experiment you could try 19.10 but with 18.04 kernel or vice-versa.
[16:48] <Noboru55> vice-versa good word.. the same in my language
[16:48] <Noboru55> diogenes_ good idea.
[17:50] <hans__> how do i set the clipboard from a terminal? this doesn't seem to do anything: echo foo | xclip -in -selection primary
[17:51] <hans__> (xclip returns 0, but the clipboard is not modified)
[17:51] <hans__> 18.04
[17:53] <hans__> huh, seems Xubuntu doesn't use the "primary" clipboard? because if run `echo foo | xclip -in -selection primary` followed by `xclip -out -selection primary` , i do indeed get `foo`, but if i try to ctrl+V, i get something else
[18:05] <brainwash> hans__: and with shift+insert?
[18:07] <hans__> brainwash, yup, shift+insert contains whatever i gave xclip -in -selection primary
[18:07] <hans__> don't know what shift+insert is tho :o
[18:49] <xubuntu56w> Hello, I have a problem  with cryptsetup. At start of my PC the encryption does not work. No I started live CD and then I can encrypt.
[18:50] <xubuntu56w> I have XUbuntu 18.10 installed
[19:11] <tomreyn> !18.10 | xubuntu56w
[19:13] <xubuntu56w> But I'm not able to update due to the problem
[19:15] <tomreyn> the "does not work" problem?
[19:16] <tomreyn> maybe you can describe a bit more detailed what you are doing that does not work, how you can tell that it does not work as expected.
[19:17] <tomreyn> also whether you recently changed something which may have caused it to stop working the way it used to (and if so, what you changed).
[19:18] <tomreyn> xubuntu56w: ^
[19:21] <xubuntu56w> Yesterday it worked well. The system is LUKS encrypted. At start I'm asked for the password. If I enter the password I get the error message "cryptsetup failed, bad password or options"
[19:23] <xubuntu56w> If I start with Live/CD I can encrypt same drive. Curiously I got an error message, but I can access the drive.
[19:29] <tomreyn> xubuntu56w: maybe think about whether you have special characters in your LUKS encryption passphrase which will be located at different positions on an US-English keyboard. It could be that the keyboard layout changed for some reason.
[19:30] <tomreyn> also, if you can tell what the error message is you get to see when opening / accessing the LUKS encrypted storage from the live cd, this may be useful
[19:31] <xubuntu56w> That was my first thought, but unfortunately that is obviously not the problem
[19:31] <tomreyn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery explains how to recover a system from a live cd (using a chroot). it's unfortunately somewhat advanced
[19:32] <xubuntu56w> I would check it again, I'm not able to unmount it
[19:33] <tomreyn> see the systemd journal also, maybe the storage is physically defective
[19:33] <tomreyn> journalctl -b0 -p err    may report such
[19:36] <tomreyn> i'm afraid i need to leave it there for now, i'll be afk for a while, maybe for the night
[19:36] <xubuntu56w> ok, thank you
