user_Hello there!15:05
plujonI'm trying to understand the software involved in "painting" my desktop.  I know lubuntu uses openbox for the window manager.  Does it have a distinct "compositor"?21:12
kc2bezplujon: Depending on which release you have picom or Compton are the installed compositors21:15
kc2bezAlso, pcmanfm-qt plays a part in "painting" the desktop. 21:16
plujonkc2bez: Thanks; 20.04 LTS.21:16
kc2bezplujon: Compton is the answer in that case. 21:17
plujonI'm asking because I installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a new drive, and I'm noticing some glitches in the windowing (flashes of fuzz near updated regions).  I'm contemplating trying to change my desktop back to lubuntu, but I don't fully understand what that will mean.21:17
plujonkc2bez: Great, thanks!21:17
kc2bezI am not sure, the best answer I can give is to try the live iso. The standard Gnome desktop does use a different compositor. 21:20
plujonsudo apt-get install lxqt # maybe this ..?21:25
plujonsudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop # maybe this ..?21:34
kc2bezYou could do that but if you just want to try it you could burn an image to a USB and try it without installing. 21:36
plujonI think I want to install.21:36
plujonsudo apt-get install lubuntu-core # or, maybe this21:36
plujonsudo apt-get install lxqt-core # oops, I mean this21:37
plujonIs it possible to have one session be gnome and another session be lxqt?21:37
genii-coreTakes a lot of fiddling around with nesting x servers21:38
plujongenii-core: Ah, hmm.  What about Ctrl-Alt-F5, login, then startx ..?21:41
plujonI'll see what that does...21:42
plujonstartlxqt # "could not connect to display ..."21:42
plujonqt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display21:43
genii-coreIt's not possible to start multiple X servers from different consoles, a program specifially for this like xnest or xephyr is required 21:45
plujonstartx # made the screen black for several seconds21:45
plujonAh, thanks.  Hmm.21:45
