| apastega | hello | 10:52 |
| apastega | I'm encountering a strange problem with XUbuntu 18.04 and a new Benq PD2700U monitor (4K) | 10:52 |
| apastega | after login, desktop background appears, but panels, icons and windows are transparent (hidden) | 10:53 |
| apastega | if I switch to virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-f1, then back to xorg with ctrl-alt-f7, windows appear | 10:54 |
| apastega | this behavior is related to 4k resolution,m it doesn't happen when resolution is lower, e.g 1560x1440 | 10:55 |
| apastega | tried to delete session files and cache.. nothing changed | 10:55 |
| apastega | any ideas? | 10:55 |
| apastega | thnaks | 10:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | do you have any HWE activated? | 10:56 |
| apastega | I don't know | 10:57 |
| apastega | how check this? | 10:57 |
| apastega | hwe-support-status --verbose Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2023. | 10:58 |
| apastega | so yes | 10:58 |
| apastega | other strange effect, don't know if related, is that virtual terminal has strange colors | 10:59 |
| apastega | background is green-ish, text is pink-is, as if some wrong bit map were used to unpack data from HDMI | 11:00 |
| apastega | text at BIOS start is correct | 11:00 |
| pmjdebruijn | no well | 11:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | what does uname -a say? | 11:14 |
| apastega | Linux shadoooo-P4 5.3.0-53-generic #47~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 7 13:10:50 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 11:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | ok, so that's current | 11:15 |
| pmjdebruijn | what might be interesting is to boot a live 20.04 and see if it still happens there as well | 11:15 |
| apastega | standard XUbuntu 18.04 with updates | 11:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | might just be some old xfce bug that already got fixed upstream | 11:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | apastega: hwe don't install with updates by default | 11:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | which is why I explicitly asked | 11:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | hwe's are integrated into new install media though | 11:16 |
| apastega | should try to prepare an USB | 11:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | but again, try 20.04 live, and see if it happens there as well, that's quick and easy to try at least | 11:16 |
| apastega | ok, will try | 11:17 |
| apastega | beside this, there could be something I could try to completely delete actual monitor settings, so it will recreate from scratch? | 11:18 |
| apastega | maybe it's caused from a dirty configuration? | 11:18 |
| apastega | I had another monitor before this, then added the new as second monitor, now second monitor becomes the one and only | 11:19 |
| apastega | maybe the change broke something... | 11:20 |
| brainwash | create a new user account and do a quick test | 11:20 |
| apastega | apart from session cache, don't know if something else could affect | 11:20 |
| brainwash | you want this one ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml | 11:21 |
| apastega | ok, will try with new user | 11:22 |
| apastega | displays.xml seems ok... but I could try to delete it? | 11:22 |
| brainwash | you could | 11:22 |
| brainwash | ideally, when the xfconfd process is not running | 11:23 |
| brainwash | otherwise, it may recreate the old file | 11:23 |
| apastega | ok, I will try this | 11:25 |
| apastega | thanks by now | 11:25 |
| apastega | I'll be back if nothing works | 11:25 |

| rangergord | from a Ubuntu Server install, I wanted to use a bare minimum Xubuntu, so I installed xubuntu-core. It pulled NetworkManager while server already has networkd (which is what I want to use). Can I safely remove network-manager or will that break the core desktop? | 14:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | afaik you don't need the metadata xubuntu-core to have working desktop | 14:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | the question, does purging networkmanager also tell you other stuff is going to be removed | 14:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | running a GUI on a server is a bit of a cornercase I guess | 14:57 |
| rangergord | Well, it was only suggesting NM-related packages, so I did it, things seem fine. Although the shutdown menu seems to have been replaced the multiple choices (reboot, save session) with just a shutdown | 15:15 |
| rangergord | changing network configuration via netplan doesnt work anymore | 15:18 |
| pmjdebruijn | rangergord: does your netplan configu say renderer: networkd | 16:14 |
| rangergord | sorry, I already fixed the issue, it was my mistake. | 16:15 |
| rangergord | I'm glad that removing Network Manager doesn't break Xubuntu otherwise :) | 16:16 |

| Fernando-Basso[m | “Save” button is always greyed out. | 21:20 |
| Fernando-Basso[m | I have these packages installed: | 21:23 |
| Fernando-Basso[m | network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome | 21:23 |
| diogenes_ | Fernando-Basso[m, try one of these if they work https://www.vpnbook.com/ | 21:33 |
| diogenes_ | openvpn tab. | 21:33 |
| Fernando-Basso[m | diogenes_: I will, thanks. But I'm really shocked it is not working. My Arch Linux box is able to create and use VPNs without any problems. I wonder if I am not in a required group, or some other dependency is missing. | 21:41 |
| Fernando-Basso[m | Was missing libnm-vpn-plugin-openconnect-editor.so, which comes with network-manager-openconnect-gnome. | 21:57 |
