| rocksaltprism | hi | 06:19 |
|---|---|---|
| rocksaltprism | so i installed xubuntu minimal 24.04 and ive been having screen tearing issues when my cursor is in the lower half of my screen | 06:22 |
| diogeness | rocksaltprism: open a terminal and run: inxi -Gxxc0 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:39 |
| diogeness | you will get an url, share the url here. | 06:40 |
| rocksaltprism | ok | 06:41 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok so inxi wasnt installed im doing that rn | 06:43 |
| rocksaltprism26 | i installedminimal version because i didnt need the additional accessories that came with it | 06:43 |
| rocksaltprism26 | but now im doubting that desicion | 06:43 |
| rocksaltprism26 | should ive just installed the regular version? | 06:44 |
| rocksaltprism26 | diogeness here it is: https://termbin.com/eg27 | 06:44 |
| rocksaltprism26 | its a laptop btw | 06:46 |
| diogeness | rocksaltprism26: did you enable compositing in the settings? | 06:46 |
| rocksaltprism26 | yes i did | 06:46 |
| rocksaltprism26 | hey should i just try the regular xubuntu version | 06:48 |
| rocksaltprism26 | i think the problem is the minimal version | 06:48 |
| rocksaltprism26 | becaus when i reboot i also get the error saying that panel has stopped and xubuntu 24.04 had issues etc etc | 06:48 |
| rocksaltprism26 | i disabled those error dialouges but screen tearing is still there | 06:49 |
| diogeness | i have never installed minimal edition so i don't know what it includes. | 06:51 |
| rocksaltprism26 | i expected it to not include the accessories | 06:51 |
| rocksaltprism26 | but | 06:51 |
| rocksaltprism26 | it didnt include anything? | 06:51 |
| diogeness | in terminal run: xfwm4 --help | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:51 |
| rocksaltprism26 | like not even what id consider essential | 06:51 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 06:51 |
| rocksaltprism26 | https://termbin.com/12kv | 06:52 |
| rocksaltprism26 | here | 06:52 |
| diogeness | now run: xfwm4 --vblank=glx | 06:53 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 06:53 |
| diogeness | see if that changes anything | 06:53 |
| rocksaltprism26 | Another Window Manager (Xfwm4) is already running on screen :0.0 | 06:54 |
| rocksaltprism26 | To replace the current window manager, try "--replace" | 06:54 |
| rocksaltprism26 | (xfwm4:6913): xfwm4-WARNING **: 12:23:48.385: Could not find a screen to manage, exiting | 06:54 |
| diogeness | xfwm4 --vblank=glx --replace | 06:54 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok it did smth | 06:55 |
| rocksaltprism26 | should the tearing be fixed now | 06:55 |
| diogeness | check it out | 06:55 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 06:56 |
| rocksaltprism26 | can i exit the terminal now | 06:56 |
| diogeness | let it run just minimize it | 06:56 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 06:56 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok so ig its gone | 06:57 |
| diogeness | ok then you can add this command to startup | 06:58 |
| rocksaltprism26 | nope wait | 06:59 |
| rocksaltprism26 | just as i said that | 06:59 |
| rocksaltprism26 | it happened again | 06:59 |
| rocksaltprism26 | :/ | 06:59 |
| diogeness | then try this one: xfwm4 --vblank=xpresent --replace | 06:59 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok i did | 07:00 |
| rocksaltprism26 | lets see | 07:00 |
| rocksaltprism26 | nope | 07:01 |
| rocksaltprism26 | still there | 07:01 |
| rocksaltprism26 | should i install regular xubuntu | 07:01 |
| rocksaltprism26 | maybe version 24.04 is the problem? | 07:01 |
| rocksaltprism26 | should i downgrade to 22.04? | 07:02 |
| rocksaltprism26 | is that more stable | 07:02 |
| rocksaltprism26 | i did see people saying that 24.04 isnt very stable right now | 07:02 |
| diogeness | i don't think that will help, you can try and use the intel driver instead of modesetting and see if you get a better luck. | 07:03 |
| rocksaltprism26 | how do i do that | 07:03 |
| rocksaltprism26 | btw i switched from linux mint cinnamon | 07:04 |
| rocksaltprism26 | this didnt happen there | 07:04 |
| diogeness | in terminal run: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel | 07:04 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 07:04 |
| rocksaltprism26 | its already there | 07:05 |
| rocksaltprism26 | xserver-xorg-video-intel is already the newest version (2:2.99.917+git20210115-1build1). | 07:05 |
| diogeness | ok now in terminal run: pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 07:06 |
| rocksaltprism26 | i get this: /usr/bin/env: ‘mousepad’: No such file or directory | 07:07 |
| diogeness | ok then run: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 07:07 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 07:07 |
| diogeness | then re-run the previous command | 07:07 |
| rocksaltprism26 | same error | 07:08 |
| diogeness | run: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 07:09 |
| diogeness | do you get any results? | 07:09 |
| rocksaltprism26 | yep | 07:09 |
| rocksaltprism26 | 20-intel.conf | 07:09 |
| diogeness | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 07:10 |
| rocksaltprism26 | its blank | 07:11 |
| diogeness | and copy/paste in there the following content (but remeber you can paste into terminal with Ctrl+Alt+v): | 07:12 |
| rocksaltprism26 | paste what | 07:12 |
| diogeness | https://paste.gnome.org/K0YWMSn9w | 07:12 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 07:13 |
| diogeness | after you paste it, press Ctrl+s and Ctrl+x | 07:13 |
| rocksaltprism26 | saved | 07:13 |
| diogeness | after that run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 07:13 |
| rocksaltprism26 | yep its there | 07:14 |
| diogeness | and see if that matches the content of the url but better pastebin it. | 07:14 |
| diogeness | cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:14 |
| diogeness | because if there is even an odd comma then your system won't boot. | 07:14 |
| rocksaltprism26 | its the exact same | 07:16 |
| rocksaltprism26 | shoulld i reboot now | 07:17 |
| diogeness | ok now before you reboot note down the steps to revover in case something goex wrong | 07:17 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 07:17 |
| diogeness | if you get a black screen then go to TTY (ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 or f...) | 07:18 |
| diogeness | login | 07:18 |
| rocksaltprism26 | okay... | 07:18 |
| diogeness | and run: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf | 07:18 |
| diogeness | then: systemctl reboot | 07:19 |
| diogeness | and all should be fine, ok reboot now./ | 07:19 |
| rocksaltprism26 | ok | 07:19 |
| rocksaltprism | ok im back | 07:23 |
| rocksaltprism | it didnt show blank screen | 07:23 |
| rocksaltprism | i just booted in | 07:23 |
| rocksaltprism | my wallpaper was reset nothing else | 07:23 |
| rocksaltprism | the tearing should be fixed now right?? | 07:23 |
| diogeness | ok check the tearing. | 07:23 |
| rocksaltprism | yea im doing | 07:24 |
| rocksaltprism | ok so ig the tearing is gone | 07:28 |
| diogeness | just to make sure the intel driver is in use, let's see this | 07:29 |
| diogeness | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i intel | 07:30 |
| diogeness | don't paste anything just tell me if you see a bunch of intel theme | 07:30 |
| rocksaltprism | yes | 07:30 |
| diogeness | there* | 07:30 |
| diogeness | ok then it's all fine. | 07:30 |
| rocksaltprism | so it was a driver issue? | 07:31 |
| diogeness | seems like your GPU is not fully supported by the open source driver. | 07:31 |
| diogeness | so the proprietary ona was needed. | 07:32 |
| rocksaltprism | i dont know it was fine in mint xfce | 07:32 |
| rocksaltprism | oh | 07:32 |
| diogeness | maybe because Mint was using it by default. | 07:32 |
| rocksaltprism | oh | 07:32 |
| rocksaltprism | ok | 07:32 |
| rocksaltprism | thanks a lot sire | 07:32 |
| rocksaltprism | its all fine now i guess | 07:33 |
| diogeness | you're welcome. | 07:33 |
