| [01:25] <u19809> hi all, I have just upgrade to 20.04 and have serious paint problems on most apps (not all). E.g when I start vlc or virtualbox the screen is not alive in that if I resize the window, the content is not adjusted and sometimes painted serveral times over. Also the content is not clickable at all | |
| [01:26] <u19809> I have this problem in : dragonplayer, vlc, kate, virtualbox, chrome | |
| [01:26] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Which video card? | |
| [01:26] <u19809> nvidia - sigh | |
| [01:27] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> And driver version? | |
| [01:27] <u19809> 440 | |
| [01:28] <u19809> nvidia-settings shows 400.100 | |
| [01:28] <u19809> Geforce GTX1050TI | |
| [01:28] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> What render mode in System Settings -> Disp. Config. -> Compositor -> Rendering backend | |
| [01:29] <u19809> opengl 3.1 (with message that it caused a crash in the past) | |
| [01:31] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Did you have a re-enable button? Sometimes kwin crashes hard and messes up the rendering state. Re-enabling and logging out/in usually fixes things. | |
| [01:32] <u19809> yes i do and will reenable and login/logout. The problem occurs always after resume from suspend. Also the background of the desktop and logon screen is then black | |
| [01:33] <u19809> reenabled and rebooting after your response | |
| [01:33] <u19809> here is a screenshot of a window with messed up content : https://pasteboard.co/JoZIeq8.png | |
| [01:44] <u19809> just rebooted but paint issues still remain. I also updated backed to xrender and logged out and in again but again paint issues.... :(:(:(:(:( | |
| [01:44] <u19809> it blocks me as I need virtualbox to start a VM but because of the paint problems VBox is unusable | |
| [01:44] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Compositing enabled? | |
| [01:45] <u19809> enabled yes | |
| [01:45] <u19809> disable ? | |
| [01:45] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> No | |
| [01:45] <u19809> setup is dual display FWIW | |
| [01:46] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Hmmm. You could try purging and re-installing the NVidia drivers or upgrade to the 450 driver. The 450 has several bug fixes: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/160555/en-us | |
| [01:47] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> If you unplug one display, does the problem go away? | |
| [01:47] <u19809> ok I will upgrade to the 450 ... I presume the upgrade would uninstall the 440 ? | |
| [01:49] <u19809> if I disable my second monitor the problem goes away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| [01:49] <u19809> (disable from settings ) | |
| [01:49] <u19809> and also video starts to play (before nor vlc nor dragonplayer were able to play video ) | |
| [01:51] <u19809> ok, this is good ... I just reenabled the second display and again ... all is messed up. I must say that my two monitors do not have the same resolution, one is 4K the other FullHD | |
| [01:52] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Under Nvidia Settings -> X server XVideo Settings try changing the default sync device... | |
| [01:52] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> ^^^ totally guessing here ^^^ | |
| [01:53] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> So does everything work on either monitor as long a the other monitor is disabled? | |
| [01:53] <u19809> only tested on the 4K monitor (disable the FHD one). sync does not seem to work | |
| [01:54] <u19809> I have not logged out when changing sync. should I ? | |
| [01:54] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Most of the NVidia settings do not require loggout... | |
| [01:56] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Under NVS -> OpenGL Settings have you tried toggling Allow Flipping or any of those options? | |
| [01:57] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Note, the hover help often specifies if the setting applies immediately. | |
| [01:57] <u19809> sync to vblank is on, flipping off, use conformant texture mapping on, | |
| [01:58] <u19809> image settings : quality | |
| [02:00] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> For reference, I have Flipping on, Image Settings: High Perf. ( using a 4K and 2K monitor where 2k monitor is scaled to 4k and running at 144Hz). | |
| [02:01] <u19809> ok ... will try and logout | |
| [02:03] <u19809> ok, flipping does not seem to help but I had another thing. I have global scaling set to 175 and when I set it to 100 % the problem disappears. when I set scaling back -> messed up | |
| [02:05] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Oh yes! Use Font to change the size of everything using X. Wayland scaling is much better, but very difficult to enable using NVidia. | |
| [02:06] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> The reason I run my 2k scaled to 4k is that sizes font and windows size match across monitors. | |
| [02:07] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> However, scaling 1080p to 4k is a bit blocky for my preference (2K to 4k is very useable). | |
| [02:08] <u19809> i do not see how to scale an individual monitor. on 19 you had indivudual scrollbars for each of the displays, now there is just 'global' | |
| [02:09] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Yes, correct. Only under Wayland does the per display scaling work. | |
| [02:10] <u19809> I do not mind using wayland but is it already operational for KDE ? I read that there were still open issues ... | |
| [02:10] <u19809> logging out again | |
| [02:11] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Not until Qt 15.xxx is available will Wayland run using NVidia and proprietary drivers. | |
| [02:13] <u19809> back | |

| [09:58] <HiddenDjinn> i'm having some issues with jack and a usb audio interface | |
| [11:45] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> @Zoth_Ommog, I got this problem again | |
| [11:45] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> I forgot how to clear the cache | |
| [12:37] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Someone pls help | |
| [13:05] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Cleaning command didn't help | |
| [13:07] <IrcsomeBot> <Swift110> Oh | |
| [13:09] <BluesKaj> Hi all | |
| [13:10] <IrcsomeBot> <Swift110> How r u blueskaj | |
| [13:11] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> I even tried apt-cache pkgnames but it just shows no space left on device | |
| [13:11] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Do I need to nuke my files | |
| [13:11] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> I don't understand why Kubuntu can let this happen | |
| [13:14] <BluesKaj> o/ @Swift110, Zoth_Ommog | |
| [13:17] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Welp guess I'll reformat then | |
| [13:18] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Anyone got any method to prevent this from happening | |
| [13:19] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Try clearing the log files. I have seen 3 different 20.04 installs where the log files hit 12GB or larger. | |
| [13:19] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> How? | |
| [13:20] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> I can only access terminal | |
| [13:22] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> how big is the syslog file (ls -alh /var/log/syslog ) | |
| [13:24] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> 316k | |
| [13:25] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> It's the apt/archive that is chock full | |
| [13:30] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> have you already ran sudo apt autoremove ? | |
| [13:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Yes | |
| [13:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> autoclean too | |
| [13:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> clean did nothing at all | |
| [13:38] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> If you run df -lh, how big is your root directory? | |

| [13:42] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> oh crap, 14G is a little small these days for a root directory. | |
| [13:42] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Really? Dammit | |
| [13:43] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Devs assume everyone has lot of hd space and packages are starting to bloat. | |
| [13:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> I haven't had time to switch /home to the hdd | |
| [13:44] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> What's the recommended size nowadays | |
| [13:50] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> That depends on what you install. If you install apps like Anaconda and android-studio (I install to my /opt directory) they consume 7.5GB and 1.3GB resp. Wine-staging is about a 1GB. Zoom, Teams, Chrome are around 300MB each so they all add up quickly. | |
| [13:50] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Do you run any VM's? | |
| [13:52] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Nope | |
| [13:52] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> The most I do is kernel building | |
| [13:52] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> For android | |
| [13:53] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Even then I only use the /home partition to do it | |
| [13:54] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Many build process use /tmp so may that be part of the issue. Usually /tmp is cleared on reboot. | |
| [13:54] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> try this sudo find /var/log -type f -size +1000M | |
| [13:56] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I want to ensure none of the log process ran wild... | |
| [13:57] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Didn't work | |
| [13:57] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Nothing was returned or error reported? | |
| [13:58] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Nope | |
| [14:00] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> run the same command from root: sudo find / -type f -size +10000M | |
| [14:01] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Wait too many zeros: sudo find / -type f -size +1000M | |
| [14:02] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> (Photo, 668x500) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/4LEeLQpZ/file_35519.jpg | |
| [14:03] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> ls -alh the last file on the list. | |
| [14:03] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Nope | |
| [14:07] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> ls -alh /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/admgpu_vram | |
| [14:07] <lundrvs> I am reading a tutorial for programming in C++. And I find this point: | |
| [14:07] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> how big is that file | |
| [14:07] <lundrvs> "Add "/usr/include/freetype2" when it is in Linux. (The path of freetype2 may be different, it depends on your system)." | |
| [14:08] <lundrvs> does anyone know what is "freetype2"? | |
| [14:09] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> @DarinMiller, 4gb | |
| [14:09] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Amazing | |
| [14:09] <lundrvs> or how is it named in Kubuntu? | |
| [14:09] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Will uninstalling amdgpu alleviate it a bit? | |
| [14:13] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I would try removing /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/admgpu_vram | |
| [14:13] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> then run sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade | |
| [14:14] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Is it safe though | |
| [14:14] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> I installed it from a amdgpu zip file | |
| [14:15] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> I don't know, but it's in a debug directory and your system is already non-bootable. You could try uninstalling amdgpu and see if the file goes away. | |
| [14:19] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> nm, bad advice, that file is not deleateable: https://askubuntu.com/questions/972624/how-to-delete-debug-files-in-sys-kernel-debug | |
| [14:21] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Ah lawd | |
| [14:21] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Amdgpu uninstall fixed it | |
| [14:24] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Very good. I still recommend increasing the size of your root partition so that you have a little more breathing room. | |
| [14:25] <IrcsomeBot> <Zoth_Ommog> Yeah, I'll get a new HDD this weekend to give myself some space | |
