Guest_48how to install intel graphics driver on xubuntu 20.04?01:40
Guest_48I tried "Intel Graphics Installer For Linux"01:41
tomreynGuest_48: it is installed by default01:42
Guest_48But distribution not support was displayed01:42
Guest_48um...01:42
Guest_48Programs using OpenGL and webGL do not work at all01:43
Guest_48I am using Intel's E5300 CPU01:43
tomreynthe    glxinfo    command can tell you whether hardware graphics acceleration is supported, and which opengl version is.01:45
tomreynglxinfo is provided by the    mesa-utils    package01:45

Guest_48https://pastebin.pl/view/935d8f6e01:53
tomreynGuest_48: ok, looking01:59
tomreyn    Accelerated: yes -> you have hardware acceleration02:00
tomreynOpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33   << your graphics chipset is Intel G3302:00
tomreynOpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 20.0.8    << highest OpenGL version supported is 1.402:01
tomreynGuest_48: this looks as good as it ever will with these integrated graphics02:01
tomreynGuest_48: now what does not work?02:01
Guest_48https://webglsamples.org/02:02
Guest_48Everything here doesn't work02:03
Guest_48Status: WebGL creation failed: * Refused to create native OpenGL context because of blacklist entry: FEATURE_FAILURE_OPENGL_1 * Exhausted GL driver options.02:03
Guest_48Older versions of Minecraft released in 2011 also don't worㅏ02:04
Guest_48k02:04
tomreyni'm not sure what this means, but a website is not the best way to test your graphics stack02:04
tomreynglxgears    is a simple opengl application you can run02:04
tomreyndoes it work?02:04
tomreynrun it from a terminal window for extra output02:04
Guest_48it works.02:05
Guest_48purumi@purumi-desktop:~$ glmark2Error: Glmark2 needs OpenGL(ES) version >= 2.0 to run (but version string is: '1.4 Mesa 20.0.8')!Error: main: Could not initialize canvas02:07
tomreynGuest_48: so then i guess other opengl games will, too. try some which are in ubuntu, such as widelands, megaglest. xonotic.02:07
Guest_48glmark2 doesn't work02:07
Guest_48ok02:08
Guest_48I will install02:08
tomreyni guess you'd need a better graphics chipset to run glmark02:08
tomreynprobably for some of these games, too02:08
tomreynactually, xonotic isnt in ubuntu, i got this wrong02:09
tomreynsupertuxkart is, though02:10
Guest_48https://pastebin.pl/view/f94d2c4302:11
Guest_48widelands doesn't works02:11
tomreynthere is also a way to fake your opengl version, pretending you have support for a higher one. sometimes this can work, but often games will crash that way02:11
tomreynyou should probably get a dedicated graphics card for gaming.02:11
Guest_48How to forge the OpenGL version?02:12
Guest_48 megaglest works.02:14
tomreynyes, megaglest will work for smaller games02:15
tomreynMESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=9.9   glxinfo | grep 'version string'02:21
tomreynGuest_48: if you run this, you will see how the output changes at some places02:21
tomreynthis *can* help trick some games into assuming your hardware is supported, but then they'll fail when actually trying to use commands available in this opengl version02:22
tomreynso it does not really help you much., you really need to get better / actual hardware.02:22
Guest_48I understand02:24
Guest_48Thanks for answering02:25
Guest_48will upgrade the gpu02:25
tomreynany cheap or pre-owned dedicated amd graphics card that's compatible to your computers' pci bus should work02:27
tomreynthis cpu is 12 years old, it may even be about time to consider replacing the whole thing02:27
tomreynGuest_48: ^02:27
tomreynnowadays you get a lot more computation for the same or less power consumption02:29
Guest_48I will change the computer sooner or later02:30
Guest_48:)02:30
tomreynGuest_48: your cpu compared to a current cpu with integrated graphics: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Pentium-E5300-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650G/1098vs379502:35
tomreyn"cpu mark" is this benchmark's performance counter02:36
tomreynGuest_48: and here's a comparison of the integrated graphics chips in both these cpus: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/Intel-G33G31-Express-vs-Radeon-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650G-with/782vs427402:43
ipkhHello, I need some help with permissions.12:03
ipkhThe boinc manager is broken due to file permisions on the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.12:04
ipkhIt symlinks to the /etc/boinc-client/ directory where it is root boinc.  But Boinc Manager cannot read it to get the password.  Copying the password manually does work, but it should be automatic12:06

sanjarihello guys, after a fresh install of xubuntu 20.04.1 i only get a mouse pointer and no desktop on screen, using radeon driver on a very old rv535 (Radeon X1650 Pro rev 9e). can anyone help me out?16:38
tomreynsanjari: that's after (graphical) login? or do you have autologin enabled?16:39
sanjaritomreyn: i selected auto login at setup16:40
tomreyntry clearing out ~/.cache/16:40
tomreynoh wait, a fresh install, then ignore this16:40
tomreyncan you post a system log?    journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 999916:41
sanjaritomreyn: https://termbin.com/lupgg16:44
sanjaritomreyn: i had to use the power switch to turn it off before because after switching to tty1 and back to graphical desktop it hung up16:45
sanjariand yes this computer is very old :D16:45
tomreynthat's an understatement ;)16:47
tomreynlatest bios is here: https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/IndexDownload.asp?Softwareguid=48C0E0B9-1430-4728-AE8D-B56974708E5E16:47
tomreynthe versioning differs from yours, though.16:48
sanjariu think this is bios related?16:48
tomreynno, i just look this up usually because a lot of people don't realize those can fix problems16:49
sanjarimy guess was that i need old proprietary drivers but ubuntu-drivers doesnt list any16:50
tomreynit will likel ynot help with this issue. i'm reading on, will keep posting single findings as i read the log, and repost back when i'm done16:50
tomreynyou'll need the radeon driver with this graphics chipset16:50
tomreynwhich comes with xubuntu16:50
tomreyn3 GB RAM is not much16:50
sanjarithe machine had windows 7 32 bit installed before and showed up 4gb (3 usable), u think the ram is faulty maybe?16:51
tomreynMemory: 3006488K/3144172K available (14339K kernel code, 2398K rwdata, 4956K rodata, 2716K init, 4988K bss, 137684K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)16:52
tomreyni have no reason to assume that any ram is faulty at this time16:53
sanjariwell in case there is no way to fix this quickly i think ima just replace the machine, its my neighbour's desktop so actually i dont give a damn if this thing lands in the trash bin16:57
tomreynconsider replacing your old 500GB WDC WD5000AAKS-00V1A0, 05.01D05, max UDMA/133, HDD by an SSD. only 1.5 Gbps  SATA links are supported by your hardware, but it'd still be much faster16:57
tomreyni'm still reading, just reached graphics card initialization, feel free to (not)have patience16:58
tomreynlooks like the fourth GB of your RAM is assigned to the graphics card.17:00
sanjariu think that causes problems with the radeon driver maybe?17:01
tomreynno, it just means you don't have a whole lot left for other things.17:03
tomreynokay, i've finished reading the log. but i don't see anything serious there.17:03
sanjarican i disable it in bios? i didnt see an option for that17:03
sanjaribecause i guess my neighbour doesnt need the additional gpu ram17:03
tomreyngraphics initialization is fine, and the desktop also seems to start up ok17:03
tomreynwhether you can choose how much ram is assigned to vram in bios depends on the bios17:04
tomreynthis one has an award bios, they can offer a lot of options, so you could try.17:04
sanjariyeah ill reboot real quick and in case i still need help ill return later after dinner17:05
sanjarithanks for your time17:05
samuk190hi guys18:40
samuk190someone ahve problem with kde connect too?18:40
samuk190they've fixed it but its waiting for xubuntu devs to upload18:41
