| akuma21 | Hi! | 04:05 |
|---|---|---|
| akuma21 | How are you doing? | 04:06 |
| Eickmeyer | !ask | akuma21 | 04:11 |
| ubottu | akuma21: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 04:11 |
| akuma21 | I'm new here. what do you do here? | 04:17 |
| Eickmeyer | akuma21: This is the support channel for Ubuntu Studio. Offtopic/social conversation happens in #ubuntustudio-offtopic. | 04:17 |
| togo | my new ubuntu studio came with Parole Media Player preinstalled, which has 2 buglike strange behaviours: 1. there always is a colorful flickering bottom line on every video 2. only one instance can run? | 21:43 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: I answered you in #ubuntu. | 21:43 |
| togo | Eickmeyer, thanks! | 21:44 |
| togo | I noticed VLC it came with was buggy too, and the one I found in the software did not even update and replace but installed asside of it, and the new one fixes issue 2. | 21:45 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: That indeed sounds like a hardware issue if you're experiencing issues with two different video players. | 21:47 |
| Eickmeyer | Or, at least a video driver issue. | 21:47 |
| TJ- | ^^^^ | 21:47 |
| togo | can you test if you can run more than one instance of VLC or Parole on your stock install? | 21:48 |
| togo | you never seen a flickering line at the bottom of your Parole? | 21:50 |
| togo | 1.04 | 21:50 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: I never have flickering on my AMD, intel, or my Nvidia systems. | 22:09 |
| Eickmeyer | If you're using Nvidia, you might need to install the Nvidia driver. | 22:10 |
| Eickmeyer | Noveau has tearing issues in Xfce. | 22:10 |
| togo | its an AMD RV730 on a Dell Studio XPS1640 motherboard | 22:14 |
| Eickmeyer | Ok, so it should work OOTB. Try turning off compositing in window manager tweaks. | 22:16 |
| TJ- | the flickering line could be an artifact of video-overlay rendering seeing as it affects multiple applications | 22:29 |
| togo | TJ-, no the flickering is only on Parole, but on al videos I opend with it so far | 22:31 |
| togo | Eickmeyer, and tjhe composing switch doesn't change anything, or do I need to restart? | 22:32 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: No, the changes should be effective immediately. | 22:33 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: I'm going to have to send you back to #ubuntu for troubleshooting since this isn't related to Ubuntu Studio-specific software. | 22:33 |
| Eickmeyer | We just don't have the level of activity in here to help you troubleshoot this. | 22:33 |
| Eickmeyer | The only thing I can think of is that your video card is ancient. | 22:33 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: Your video card is from 2008. | 22:34 |
| Eickmeyer | I guarantee any support for it in the kernel is lost to bitrot. You need newer hardware, togo. | 22:35 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: Your computer also is ancient. Ubuntu Studio is not meant to bring life to older hardware. It's meant for high-performance modern machines. | 22:36 |
| Eickmeyer | The only reason we use a lightweight desktop is so that more resources can go to the high-performance programs. | 22:37 |
| TJ- | hmmm! I'm running it on ancient systems too, with no problems! | 22:41 |
| TJ- | runs ardour well for example | 22:41 |
| TJ- | i guess editing 4K video might be a tad slow | 22:41 |
| Eickmeyer | TJ-: Looks like a 2010 computer with a 2008 video card. I'd say that's beyond EOL for many purposes. | 22:51 |
| TJ- | flickering as describes sounds like a video overlay artifact issue, which is most likely a driver issue | 22:52 |
| togo | If anybody else had that line too much rendered would it have made it into some particular place to report it? | 23:03 |
| oerheks | RV730 .. HD 4670 ...? | 23:13 |
| oerheks | openradeon is good supported on 5xxx and higher | 23:14 |
| Eickmeyer | togo: The only thing I could come across was some past difficulty with that particular card back in 2013. | 23:24 |
| togo | I am going to install a few more players, since so far only Parole shows one bug, it likely is something specific with that package... | 23:35 |
| togo | Even video games run nice and 1080p on that machine | 23:36 |
