[06:36] <DarkTrick> Could someone try this: press Ctrl+Alt+F12 and change back to Ctrl+Alt+F7. Check if Xorg process starts running hot with 100% CPU ?
[06:46] <kotek14> DarkTrick: Xubuntu 20.04.1 here, up to date. No problem here
[06:47] <DarkTrick> kotek14, thank you for the quick test!
[09:34] <brainwash> DarkTrick: does it stop after some time?
[10:40] <DarkTrick> brainwash, after about 10 minutes it stops and goes back to normal
[11:10] <brainwash> DarkTrick: 10 minutes is quite long
[11:10] <DarkTrick> brainwash, it is
[11:10] <brainwash> do you have a big .xmodmap file?
[11:11] <DarkTrick> brainwash, I guess in ~?
[11:11] <brainwash> yes
[11:11] <brainwash> ~/.xmodmap
[11:12] <DarkTrick> brainwash, there is none, actually
[11:12] <brainwash> then it is not the cause of your problem
[11:13] <DarkTrick> without any clear evidence, I think this behavior goes in the category "bugs with Xorg and external devices".
[11:13] <DarkTrick> It just feels the same.
[11:14] <DarkTrick> but in case you have any leads ... :)
[11:15] <brainwash> I would check ~/.xsession-errors
[11:15] <brainwash> and also check if killing xfsettingsd has any effect
[11:16] <brainwash> xfsettingsd --replace
[11:16] <brainwash> after triggering the high cpu bug obviously
[11:21] <DarkTrick> brainwash: nice tip!
[11:23] <DarkTrick> brainwash, looks like `xfsettingsd --replace` helps recovering
[11:24] <DarkTrick> Also, I get a couple of "Internal error:   Could not resolve keysym Paste" errors when I run that command. Perhaps things are related...
[11:24] <brainwash> you are still running Xfce 4.14, or?
[11:24] <DarkTrick> the official one delivered by ubuntu 20.10
[11:25] <DarkTrick> ( I'll test again without /modifications to my keyboard/ )
[11:25] <brainwash> would be interesting to know if the bug is still present with 4.16
[11:27] <DarkTrick> brainwash, do I need to worry about this? https://pastebin.com/9aEz03k4
[11:28] <brainwash> does not look related
[11:28] <DarkTrick> ✔️
[11:28] <brainwash> it's a libvte warning
[11:29] <DarkTrick> custom keyboard layout was also not related.
[11:29] <DarkTrick> when will 4.16 be rolled out?
[11:30] <Maik> with the 21.04 release of xubuntu
[11:30] <Maik> in April
[12:10] <DarkTrick> thanks Maik. Maybe I'll have a little bit of time to install it in a vm and try to reproduce it
[12:16] <brainwash> DarkTrick: a VM may behave differently though
[12:16] <DarkTrick> probably
[12:17] <DarkTrick> btw, how to get my xfce version?
[12:17] <DarkTrick> nvmd
[12:17] <brainwash> alternatively, you could just test it on your hardware
[12:17] <DarkTrick> xfce4-about :)
[12:17] <brainwash> via the live session
[12:18] <brainwash> or even better, install 21.04 on a removable device and boot it
[12:19] <brainwash> because the live session may behave differently too
[12:23] <DarkTrick> at least no probs in a VM with 4.16 pre XXX. I will give the removable a try, if I find a little bit of time :) thanks for the ideas!
[15:03] <Xu-Jordan> Hi, Community, how are you? I'm Jordan and I would like to know if is there any solution for my black screen at start in Xubuntu 20.04, if you can help me, please?
[15:05] <Xu-Jordan> I have a HP Pavilion with AMD Ryzen 5 Radeon 3500 laptop PC. I have had this problem with Ubuntu, too. The only way it boots is with Nomodeset. Thanks for your help.
[16:54] <okami61> hi
[16:54] <okami61> i'm new here
[19:44] <gredos91> hi, I do not understand what kind of "removable volume" I have from time to time, on the desktop. What could it be?
[19:47] <diogenes_> gredos91, could be a windows partition if you dual boot.
[19:48] <gredos91> no
[19:48] <diogenes_> then a screenshot
[19:49] <gredos91> diogenes_: ok
[20:00] <gredos91> diogenes_: https://prnt.sc/wgzxcr
[20:01] <diogenes_> that's a USB drive or an ED card.
[20:05] <gredos91> but now nothing is connected
[20:08] <diogenes_> cat /proc/mounts | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:08] <diogenes_> share the url
[20:10] <gredos91> https://termbin.com/rb4p
[20:18] <diogenes_> everything seems legit.
[20:21] <gredos91> diogenes_: this removable volume has a certain size
[20:22] <gredos91> after restart, it disappears
[20:30] <gredos91> diogenes_: this is a desktop bug like xfce
[20:30] <diogenes_> well what happens when you try to open it?
[20:31] <gredos91> volume not found
[20:33] <diogenes_> maybe it's from one of those snaps loops no clue i've never used any snaps.
[20:35] <gredos91> perhaps
[20:43] <gredos91> diogenes_: ticked the box. show hidden files on the desktop. and the removable volume is gone))
[20:46] <diogenes_> but it's not supposed to be there in the first place.
[20:49] <gredos91> yea
