[01:40] <Guest_48> how to install intel graphics driver on xubuntu 20.04?
[01:41] <Guest_48> I tried "Intel Graphics Installer For Linux"
[01:42] <tomreyn> Guest_48: it is installed by default
[01:42] <Guest_48> But distribution not support was displayed
[01:42] <Guest_48> um...
[01:43] <Guest_48> Programs using OpenGL and webGL do not work at all
[01:43] <Guest_48> I am using Intel's E5300 CPU
[01:45] <tomreyn> the    glxinfo    command can tell you whether hardware graphics acceleration is supported, and which opengl version is.
[01:45] <tomreyn> glxinfo is provided by the    mesa-utils    package

[01:59] <tomreyn> Guest_48: ok, looking
[02:00] <tomreyn>     Accelerated: yes -> you have hardware acceleration
[02:00] <tomreyn> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33   << your graphics chipset is Intel G33
[02:01] <tomreyn> OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 20.0.8    << highest OpenGL version supported is 1.4
[02:01] <tomreyn> Guest_48: this looks as good as it ever will with these integrated graphics
[02:01] <tomreyn> Guest_48: now what does not work?
[02:02] <Guest_48> https://webglsamples.org/
[02:03] <Guest_48> Everything here doesn't work
[02:03] <Guest_48> Status: WebGL creation failed: * Refused to create native OpenGL context because of blacklist entry: FEATURE_FAILURE_OPENGL_1 * Exhausted GL driver options.
[02:04] <Guest_48> Older versions of Minecraft released in 2011 also don't worㅏ
[02:04] <Guest_48> k
[02:04] <tomreyn> i'm not sure what this means, but a website is not the best way to test your graphics stack
[02:04] <tomreyn> glxgears    is a simple opengl application you can run
[02:04] <tomreyn> does it work?
[02:04] <tomreyn> run it from a terminal window for extra output
[02:05] <Guest_48> it works.
[02:07] <Guest_48> purumi@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 canvas
[02:07] <tomreyn> Guest_48: so then i guess other opengl games will, too. try some which are in ubuntu, such as widelands, megaglest. xonotic.
[02:07] <Guest_48> glmark2 doesn't work
[02:08] <Guest_48> ok
[02:08] <Guest_48> I will install
[02:08] <tomreyn> i guess you'd need a better graphics chipset to run glmark
[02:08] <tomreyn> probably for some of these games, too
[02:09] <tomreyn> actually, xonotic isnt in ubuntu, i got this wrong
[02:10] <tomreyn> supertuxkart is, though
[02:11] <Guest_48> https://pastebin.pl/view/f94d2c43
[02:11] <Guest_48> widelands doesn't works
[02:11] <tomreyn> there 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 way
[02:11] <tomreyn> you should probably get a dedicated graphics card for gaming.
[02:12] <Guest_48> How to forge the OpenGL version?
[02:14] <Guest_48>  megaglest works.
[02:15] <tomreyn> yes, megaglest will work for smaller games
[02:21] <tomreyn> MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=9.9   glxinfo | grep 'version string'
[02:21] <tomreyn> Guest_48: if you run this, you will see how the output changes at some places
[02:22] <tomreyn> this *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 version
[02:22] <tomreyn> so it does not really help you much., you really need to get better / actual hardware.
[02:24] <Guest_48> I understand
[02:25] <Guest_48> Thanks for answering
[02:25] <Guest_48> will upgrade the gpu
[02:27] <tomreyn> any cheap or pre-owned dedicated amd graphics card that's compatible to your computers' pci bus should work
[02:27] <tomreyn> this cpu is 12 years old, it may even be about time to consider replacing the whole thing
[02:27] <tomreyn> Guest_48: ^
[02:29] <tomreyn> nowadays you get a lot more computation for the same or less power consumption
[02:30] <Guest_48> I will change the computer sooner or later
[02:30] <Guest_48> :)
[02:35] <tomreyn> Guest_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/1098vs3795
[02:36] <tomreyn> "cpu mark" is this benchmark's performance counter
[02:43] <tomreyn> Guest_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/782vs4274
[12:03] <ipkh> Hello, I need some help with permissions.
[12:04] <ipkh> The boinc manager is broken due to file permisions on the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.
[12:06] <ipkh> It 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 automatic
[12:07] <ipkh> htop
[12:07] <ipkh> Boinc Manager is run under my username
[16:38] <sanjari> hello 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?
[16:39] <tomreyn> sanjari: that's after (graphical) login? or do you have autologin enabled?
[16:40] <sanjari> tomreyn: i selected auto login at setup
[16:40] <tomreyn> try clearing out ~/.cache/
[16:40] <tomreyn> oh wait, a fresh install, then ignore this
[16:41] <tomreyn> can you post a system log?    journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:44] <sanjari> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/lupgg
[16:45] <sanjari> tomreyn: i had to use the power switch to turn it off before because after switching to tty1 and back to graphical desktop it hung up
[16:45] <sanjari> and yes this computer is very old :D
[16:47] <tomreyn> that's an understatement ;)
[16:47] <tomreyn> latest bios is here: https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/IndexDownload.asp?Softwareguid=48C0E0B9-1430-4728-AE8D-B56974708E5E
[16:48] <tomreyn> the versioning differs from yours, though.
[16:48] <sanjari> u think this is bios related?
[16:49] <tomreyn> no, i just look this up usually because a lot of people don't realize those can fix problems
[16:50] <sanjari> my guess was that i need old proprietary drivers but ubuntu-drivers doesnt list any
[16:50] <tomreyn> it 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 done
[16:50] <tomreyn> you'll need the radeon driver with this graphics chipset
[16:50] <tomreyn> which comes with xubuntu
[16:50] <tomreyn> 3 GB RAM is not much
[16:51] <sanjari> the machine had windows 7 32 bit installed before and showed up 4gb (3 usable), u think the ram is faulty maybe?
[16:52] <tomreyn> Memory: 3006488K/3144172K available (14339K kernel code, 2398K rwdata, 4956K rodata, 2716K init, 4988K bss, 137684K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)
[16:53] <tomreyn> i have no reason to assume that any ram is faulty at this time
[16:57] <sanjari> well 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 bin
[16:57] <tomreyn> consider 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 faster
[16:58] <tomreyn> i'm still reading, just reached graphics card initialization, feel free to (not)have patience
[17:00] <tomreyn> looks like the fourth GB of your RAM is assigned to the graphics card.
[17:01] <sanjari> u think that causes problems with the radeon driver maybe?
[17:03] <tomreyn> no, it just means you don't have a whole lot left for other things.
[17:03] <tomreyn> okay, i've finished reading the log. but i don't see anything serious there.
[17:03] <sanjari> can i disable it in bios? i didnt see an option for that
[17:03] <sanjari> because i guess my neighbour doesnt need the additional gpu ram
[17:03] <tomreyn> graphics initialization is fine, and the desktop also seems to start up ok
[17:04] <tomreyn> whether you can choose how much ram is assigned to vram in bios depends on the bios
[17:04] <tomreyn> this one has an award bios, they can offer a lot of options, so you could try.
[17:05] <sanjari> yeah ill reboot real quick and in case i still need help ill return later after dinner
[17:05] <sanjari> thanks for your time
[18:40] <samuk190> hi guys
[18:40] <samuk190> someone ahve problem with kde connect too?
[18:41] <samuk190> they've fixed it but its waiting for xubuntu devs to upload
