Re: Chrome is flickering like crazy after Xorg 1.18

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Right, sorry! I thought that because Xenial is still under development, its
problems should be talked here, on development mail list... I'll move to
Ubuntu Users instead...

Hi,

once again: this is not a technical support list.

You can ask ubuntu-users.

Chrome is flickering like crazy after Xorg 1.18

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Guys,

 I'm experiencing a bad experience after upgrading Xorg to 1.18.

 Google Chrome is flickering too much!

 Specially when watching www.tradingview.com charts, like:

 https://www.tradingview.com/chart/ndymuJQ7/

 Should I fill a bug report? I just don't know if it is related to Xorg, or
not...

Thanks!

Update NodeJS to 4.4.0 (LTS) on Xenial

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Hey guys,

 Can someone please, upgrade the NodeJS to 4.4.0 for Xenial?

 It is an LTS release and is already on Debian.

 https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.4.0/

 https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nodejs

Thanks!

[ubuntu-studio-devel] DVD authoring software

[Len Ovens]

It seems that dvdstyler is suffering from bitrot and will soon go the way 
of GCDMaster... not broken, but no longer in the ubuntu repos.


I am not much of a video artist and don't really know what I am doing in 
this area so I am asking those of you who actually do videos to put on 
DVDs or know a bit about it to give some input.


devede is no longer a part of the ubuntu repos being old and suffering 
bitrot as well, but there is a rewrite called devedeng that is up to date 
and uses modern versions of GTK for example. While it is available from a 
PPA it does not seem to be in the debian or ubuntu repos. If it is any 
good getting it there would be a first step.


dvdauthor is in the repos but is CLI. still it is up to date and while we 
do include it, that is only because something else depends on it. I would 
suggest seeding it to keep it around.


Bombono has been suggested to me and is available in our repos. I have 
downloaded it and it does start :)  I don't really know how to begin using 
it, but it does do menuing although there do not seem to be templates to 
make it easier for a newby (like me) to begin using it. For someone with 
more experience lack of templates may be a plus. I was able to put three 
videos in a project, add a menu and make a DVD file system. VLC seems to 
present me with (my very crude) menu and play whichever video I select.


Any more ideas?

In my opinion "sending a message" is a quite a big result. Currently even
developers of new apps sometimes consider using Python 2 because it "works
out of the box everywhere" unlike Python 3 (which may not be present on some
old distros). If we ship LTS with Python 3 only, this will be no longer the
case. I.e. it will make the world moving to Python 3 a bit faster.

And the earlier the world moves to Python 3, the earlier we will be able to
reduce/drop support for Python 2.

Thanks Timo,
I eventually realized that and installed Wily alongside Xenial. Let's see
how it goes there :)

There's no reason to shoot yourself in the foot, the driver won't work
with the xserver no matter what you try. The DKMS is only half of the
story..

Can't be done, sorry. AMD won't support fglrx on 16.04*, period. There
will be a userspace blob released later this year that should cover the
missing bits and it will be added to 16.04, but it's been well known for
quite a while already that they were moving towards a shared core stack
(amdgpu kernel driver), and we had to make a decision for 16.04.

And installing the package from AMD doesn't help, as it doesn't support
the xserver 1.18 video ABI, which got in xenial earlier this week and is
what removed the incompatible driver from your system.

Hi Steffen,

I was also setting up a machine with AMD GPUs just yesterday and ended up
having the same problems.
I managed to get the DKMS module to build though, using the patches from
https://github.com/kolasa/fglrx-15.30.1025
but that wasn't enough, the setup still doesn't get past the lightdm login
screen.

Running Xorg -configure fails with "Failed to load module fglrxdrm"...

I'll spend some more time on it this evening, let's see if I manage to get
anywhere :)

Br,
Andrea
