[06:19] <rocksaltprism> hi
[06:22] <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
[06:39] <diogeness> rocksaltprism: open a terminal and run: inxi -Gxxc0 | nc termbin.com 9999
[06:40] <diogeness> you will get an url, share the url here.
[06:41] <rocksaltprism> ok
[06:43] <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
[06:44] <rocksaltprism26> should ive just installed the regular version?
[06:44] <rocksaltprism26> diogeness here it is: https://termbin.com/eg27
[06:46] <rocksaltprism26> its a laptop btw
[06:46] <diogeness> rocksaltprism26: did you enable compositing in the settings?
[06:46] <rocksaltprism26> yes i did
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <rocksaltprism26> i disabled those error dialouges but screen tearing is still there
[06:51] <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
[06:52] <rocksaltprism26> https://termbin.com/12kv
[06:52] <rocksaltprism26> here
[06:53] <diogeness> now run: xfwm4 --vblank=glx 
[06:53] <rocksaltprism26> ok
[06:53] <diogeness> see if that changes anything
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <rocksaltprism26> ok it did smth
[06:55] <rocksaltprism26> should the tearing be fixed now
[06:55] <diogeness> check it out
[06:56] <rocksaltprism26> ok
[06:56] <rocksaltprism26> can i exit the terminal now
[06:56] <diogeness> let it run just minimize it
[06:56] <rocksaltprism26> ok
[06:57] <rocksaltprism26> ok so ig its gone
[06:58] <diogeness> ok then you can add this command to startup
[06:59] <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
[07:00] <rocksaltprism26> ok i did
[07:00] <rocksaltprism26> lets see
[07:01] <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?
[07:02] <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
[07:03] <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
[07:04] <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
[07:05] <rocksaltprism26> its already there
[07:05] <rocksaltprism26> xserver-xorg-video-intel is already the newest version (2:2.99.917+git20210115-1build1).
[07:06] <diogeness> ok now in terminal run: pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mousepad  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[07:07] <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
[07:08] <rocksaltprism26> same error
[07:09] <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
[07:10] <diogeness> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
[07:11] <rocksaltprism26> its blank
[07:12] <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
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <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.
[07:16] <rocksaltprism26> its the exact same
[07:17] <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
[07:18] <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
[07:19] <diogeness> then: systemctl reboot
[07:19] <diogeness> and all should be fine, ok reboot now./
[07:19] <rocksaltprism26> ok
[07:23] <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.
[07:24] <rocksaltprism> yea im doing
[07:28] <rocksaltprism> ok so ig the tearing is gone
[07:29] <diogeness> just to make sure the intel driver is in use, let's see this
[07:30] <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.
[07:31] <rocksaltprism> so it was a driver issue?
[07:31] <diogeness> seems like your GPU is not fully supported by the open source driver.
[07:32] <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
[07:33] <rocksaltprism> its all fine now i guess
[07:33] <diogeness> you're welcome.
