I'll try it out tomorrow, but I am not completely sure I will be able to pull it off. :-) I'll let you know. I am very glad to hear that you are actively developing tint2, it is an awesome complement to the normal Ubuntu desktop, so I will do my best to help. Would be very nice if the new tint2 versions would become available in a package too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448939 Title: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448939/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448939] Re: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver
Regarding 3, I tried to fix this problem in the latest version (I'm the current dev of tint2). However there is no package available for 14.04, nor a PPA, so if you would like to try it out the only way is to compile from source. Normally I don't recommend this unless you know what you are doing, as it is sometimes difficult to remove from the system software installed from source and there are other things that can go wrong. In the case of tint2 it should not be so complicated. If you want to do it, here is a page with instructions: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/wikis/Install#install-from-source You will have to configure tint2 in your startup applications to run from the new path (/usr/local/bin/tint2) and remove the sleep then relog. If it has problems please let me know. If you don't want to try this it's perfectly fine. I am just curious if this solves the problem in your case, which is a bit strange -- normally tint2 should just draw itself without transparency if the compositor is not detected correctly at startup; it should not dissapear completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448939 Title: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448939/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448939] Re: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver
Hi Chris, thanks for your update and your suggestion for updating the bios. I have a few points: 1. I have unfortunately not succeeded updating the bios. I have read the three suggested modes of doing so on the wiki, but am unable to perform any of them. The first: I can't get the .iso on an USB drive. Not through Ubuntu (Startup Disk Creator) nor Windows (Rufus). In Windows it says the .iso is unbootable. The second: I can't run the Windows .exe, since I don't have a dual boot system. The third: further information on the ThinkVantage option is not available on the wiki page. 2. However, the sleep workaround suggested by o9000 works like a charm. I haven't had issues since. So I am satisfied as this issue is not bothering me anymore. So for me no further action is required on this one. 3. However, I do realize that this is more a workaround than a potential bug fix. So if from the bug fix angle it is still relevant for you to do further diagnostics, let me know, I am happy to try to provide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448939 Title: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448939/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1448939] Re: tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots fine with proprietary driver
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9 trusty ubuntu ** Description changed: I run a little taskbar app called tint2. I boot it at startup, but about 50% of the time it isn't visible after booting. The other 50% it is. So I can reboot or logout/login until it sticks. At first I thought it was a bug in tint2, but now I have found that I don't get this issues when I run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think it might be a problem in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a Radeon HD 8600M series in a Lenovo S540. Additional note: when it does not display and I power off the computer, it is displayed for a brief moment before the computer shuts down. That makes me think that it is actually a display problem, not a problem of tint2 not booting at all. If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, I apologize for reporting it here. If you need additional information, please let me know, I will be happy to provide.

I see.

stijn, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and- netbooks/thinkpad-s-series-laptops/thinkpad-s540 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.65).

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.
