[06:38] <mrinvader> Hi all!!
[06:39] <diogenes_Vx15> !hi | mrinvader 
[06:39] <ubottu> mrinvader: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!
[06:43] <mrinvader> Weird issue. Upon lightdm login, login dialog goes atay to an empty jammy wallpaper and login appears to proceed behind this, because when I switch virtual tty ctl+alt+F8 or Fwhatever then back to C A F7 the deshtop is fully loaded. If I do a hotkey app launch like flagkey T (terminal) or flagkey F (thunar) while at this blank wallpaper screen,
[06:43] <mrinvader> when I vtty flip, the app is running from the hotkey.
[06:43] <mrinvader> login dialog goes atay = login dialog goes AWAY lol
[06:44] <mrinvader> xubuntu 22.04
[06:45] <mrinvader> also reboot stops at the black screen
[06:45] <mrinvader> !hi diogenes_Vx15
[06:47] <diogenes_Vx15> mrinvader, is ir a real PC or virtual machine? since when you're facing this issue?
[06:47] <mrinvader> real pc
[06:50] <mrinvader> Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
[06:50] <mrinvader> nvidia 390.151
[06:50] <mrinvader> GeForce GTX 570
[06:50] <mrinvader> 16gb ram
[06:51] <diogenes_Vx15> since when you're facing this issue?
[06:51] <mrinvader> a week after install
[06:52] <diogenes_Vx15> do you have 'session save' enabled?
[06:52] <mrinvader> i think the error is somewhere in the handoff between lightdm and xfce4
[06:52] <mrinvader> i dont believe so. gonna check.
[06:54] <mrinvader>  No, just prompt on logout. default as it comes. this was a clean install
[06:55] <diogenes_Vx15> you mean 'save session' option is enabled on  logout?
[06:55] <mrinvader> no. automatically save session is not checked.
[06:56] <mrinvader> this is from "session and startup" app in "settings"
[06:56] <mrinvader> and when i do restart or shutdown it isnt checked there either
[06:57] <diogenes_Vx15> mrinvader, you have to check it in 3 places: 1 in session and startup, 2 in settings editor > xfce4-sesiion > SaveOnExit (must be disabled) 3 on logout dialog
[06:58] <mrinvader> ooo thanks for location 2! checking now
[06:59] <mrinvader> xfce4-settings-editor right?
[07:00] <diogenes_Vx15> yes
[07:00] <mrinvader> dammit how is that checked??!! lol
[07:00] <diogenes_Vx15> so it was checked there?
[07:00] <mrinvader> yes. i swear i didnt check that
[07:00] <mrinvader> evil
[07:01] <diogenes_Vx15> now disable it and run: rm ~/.cache/sessions/*
[07:03] <mrinvader> you sound like youve fought this issue before lol
[07:04] <mrinvader> mrinvader@skyfall3:~$ rm ~/.cache/sessions/

[07:04] <diogenes_Vx15> yep this is one of the most harmful thing, you can't imagine how much troubles it can cause.

[07:05] <diogenes_Vx15> you forgot the asterisk there
[07:05] <diogenes_Vx15> not rm ~/.cache/sessions/ but rm ~/.cache/sessions/*
[07:06] <mrinvader> thank you _likegike_ and @TheRedQueen
[07:06] <mrinvader> oops likegike
[07:07] <mrinvader> thank you ubottu
[07:07] <mrinvader> thank you diogenes_Vx15
[07:07] <diogenes_Vx15> ubottu, is a bot, he has no feelings :)
[07:08] <mrinvader> yeah basically dump the cached sessions directory
[07:08] <diogenes_Vx15> you need to remove everything in there and reboot.
[07:08] <mrinvader> what a hideous PITA re: sessions
[07:09] <mrinvader> i will be back to do a victory dance
[07:10] <diogenes_Vx15> well it's not guaranteed to fix the issue, it's just an attempt.
[07:23] <mrinvader> it didnt work... but the setting in xfce4-settings-editor did stay unchecked, and the sessions cache is still empty. it also still hangs at restart.
[07:24] <mrinvader> so more like a momentarily defeated shuffle than a victory dance
[07:24] <diogenes_Vx15> mrinvader, ok if you do flagkey T now, does the terminal open normally or you still have to switch to TTY and back?
[07:25] <mrinvader> nope still have to do the tty flip
[07:26] <diogenes_Vx15> ok now run in terminal: xfwm4 --vblank=off|
[07:26] <diogenes_Vx15> oops
[07:26] <diogenes_Vx15> xfwm4 --vblank=off
[07:26] <diogenes_Vx15> that one ^^^^
[07:27] <diogenes_Vx15> and don't close the terminal but try the flag key again.
[07:27] <diogenes_Vx15> wait
[07:27] <diogenes_Vx15> wrong command again, this one should be it:  xfwm4 --vblank=off --replace
[07:28] <mrinvader> flag key works once ive done the tty flip. everything behaves relatively normal. but before that it just sits at the lightdm configured wallpaper
[07:29] <mrinvader> like if i hit it right now, a menu pops up at the mouse pointer location
[07:29] <diogenes_Vx15> ok let's change it in the setting then.
[07:29] <mrinvader> ok i lied. gotta be at the desktop
[07:31] <mrinvader> ok i really lied. it doesnt work at all just to hit flagkey. i think xcape is no longer running in this session, which runs by default
[07:31] <mrinvader> by default xubuntu 22.04 runs xcape and a command parameter to make the flagkey behave like windows
[07:33] <diogenes_Vx15> ok let's try this, in terminal: mousepad .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
[07:33] <diogenes_Vx15> find the line: <value type="string" value="xfwm4"/>
[07:33] <diogenes_Vx15> below that line add these two:
[07:34] <diogenes_Vx15> <value type="string" value="--compositor=off"/>
[07:34] <diogenes_Vx15>         <value type="string" value="--vblank=off"/>
[07:34] <diogenes_Vx15> save and reboot
[07:47] <mrinvader> ack. didnt work. but the settings did stick. i can also workaround the reboot freeze issue by doing "sudo shutdown -r now" at a terminal as well
[07:48] <mrinvader> there are some Issues with xubuntu 22.04...
[07:49] <mrinvader> another strong annoyance that ive worked around is the spin of vlc that comes with ubuntu is castrated by debian upstream to not play rtsp streams because of some obscure licensing thing...
[07:49] <diogenes_Vx15_> mrinvader, let's see if that actually was applied, run: ps aux | grep [x]fwm4
[07:49] <mrinvader> ack. didnt work. but the settings did stick. i can also workaround the reboot freeze issue by doing "sudo shutdown -r now" at a terminal as well
[07:50] <mrinvader> there are some Issues with xubuntu 22.04
[07:50] <mrinvader> that was typed in before you rejoined.
[07:50] <mrinvader> ps aux in process
[07:51] <mrinvader> xfwm4 --compositor=off --vblank=off
[07:52] <mrinvader> mrinvad+    1589  0.1  0.3 482036 49524 ?        Sl   03:41   0:01 xfwm4 --compositor=off --vblank=off
[07:53] <KBar> mrinvader: you can't edit the perchannel-xml files while xfconfd is active
[07:53] <diogenes_Vx15_> ok let's see your system config: inxi -Fxxc0 | nc termbin.com 9999
[07:53] <diogenes_Vx15_> share the url
[07:54] <mrinvader> KBar it appears the setting took...
[07:54] <diogenes_Vx15_> KBar, the settings were applied after reboot:  xfwm4 --compositor=off --vblank=off
[07:54] <mrinvader> haah timing lol
[07:56] <mrinvader> that would make sense tho... that file may still in use perhaps and might be committed after a reboot with the old settings.
[07:56] <mrinvader> in this case apparently it didnt get recommitted.
[07:57] <mrinvader> inxi is a cool tool!!
[07:59] <mrinvader> wooooww... termbin is awesome!!! https://termbin.com/zj3v
[07:59] <mrinvader> nc is netcat i think
[07:59] <mrinvader> right?
[07:59] <diogenes_Vx15_> yes
[08:01] <mrinvader> Thank you BSD people, how i do love thee with all the grey in my beard!
[08:03] <diogenes_Vx15_> mrinvader, try this in terminal: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
[08:04] <diogenes_Vx15_> see if that fixes anything.
[08:05] <diogenes_Vx15_> ok i'll be away for some 20 minutes so brb.
[08:57] <diogenes_Vx15_> ok mrinvader left
