lubot[telegram] <saivinob> Hi, I faced this issue on a baremetal install today. Logged in using openbox and wallpaper would not go (expected to see black screen), when I clicked (unintentionally), I had menu and could open program. However, opened menu or any pop-up window would not go away! I then remembered this conversation and clicked on picom. The screen refreshed and session was usable. (re @Leokolb: @kc2bez Works fine in VM can logon to OB session and s02:29
lubot[telegram] <saivinob> The reason I mentioned all this (story 😊) is to ask why are we not enabling compton/picom by default? I had issue with blacked out menu entries when using quickemu and @kc2bez had suggested me to enable compton and sure it fixed issue.02:30
lubot[telegram] <saivinob> Considering it can baffle even the experienced (@Leokolb was planning on raising bug per previous conversation), shouldn't we enable compton/picom by default?02:33

lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> Thanks! (re @teward001: so Debian is your only real recourse for 32bit anymore)06:25
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> If I remember correctly compton/picom can be a problem with some graphics hardware -drivers etc. so better to have disable as default and those that need  to can turn it on - (re @Leokolb: Yes the question is -What are the drawbacks to enabling compton/picom by default? -)07:36
lubot[telegram] <The_LoudSpeaker> I didn't have any issues with it on integrated GPUs. Either on intel or amd. Both worked fine. But haven't tested myself on dedicated GPU of nvidia or amd.

lubot[telegram] <saivinob> Same here. I only have integrated GPUs on my laptops. Haven't had issue after enabling picom (actually became usable ;) ).07:44

kc2bez@saivinob I agree with looking at enabling picom by default in the Lubuntu session but not necessarily in the openbox session. The openbox session is intentionally not modified by Lubuntu and therefore unconfigured. It would be nice if there was a way we could disable that as a selection in SDDM but that too could cause issues for those that only want openbox. Which WM we pair up with is somewhat up in the air based on some better15:45

kc2bezI think one of the reasons we had initially not enabled picom was to keep resource utilization low but that isn't necessarily our focus these days.15:47
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> How can i install software center in lubuntu16:41
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> I tried this, but got error16:42
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/8899b3aa/file_2661.jpg16:44
lubot[telegram] <teward001> you're missing an && argument16:44
lubot[telegram] <teward001> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-software-center is what you should run16:44
lubot[telegram] <teward001> BUT i would advise caution I don't know if thta PPA is updated ;)16:45
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> Again error16:46
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/bc17ca3c/file_2662.jpg16:47
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> That PPA doesn't have any packages.16:48
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> 18.04 is unsupported as well.16:48
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> 😔16:48
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> *Lubuntu 18.0416:48
lubot[telegram] <teward001> that explains that one16:48
lubot[telegram] <teward001> i forgot they're on 18.0416:49
lubot[telegram] <teward001> AB...😍 Lubuntu 18.04 is beyond support, we won't help with the LXDE stuff16:49
lubot[telegram] <teward001> and that PPA is dead16:49
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> Is this's the same answer for Google chrome?16:50
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> I tried to install, but only 64 bit is available16:50
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I think that is true. 32 bit is mostly unsupported as well.16:51
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> Is there any way/chance to download?16:51
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Not that i now of16:51
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> *Know16:51
lubot[telegram] <AB...😍> Yah. Thanks !16:52
lubot[telegram] <HMollerCl> there is a simpler solution than enabling picom, it's defining a background to openbox (pure black can be) this forces redraw.
