[01:35] <soee> !info glxspheres
[07:16] <alkisg> Now with logind, what's the equivalent of `ck-list-sessions`?
[09:46] <randomcpp> hello everyone
[09:46] <randomcpp> does anyone here use fglrx drivers from trusty?
[10:26] <elhoir> me
[10:26] <elhoir> im using fglrx in trusty
[10:27] <elhoir> randomcpp, :)
[10:27] <elhoir> but im about switching to open source radeon driver
[10:28]  * elhoir is already using the OS driver for his laptop
[10:32] <randomcpp> elhoir,
[10:32] <randomcpp> do you use unity too?
[10:39] <randomcpp> I'm asking because I'm having some troubles since I've installed fglrx 13.12, that I haven't had before..
[10:40] <randomcpp> it's some sort of screen flickering
[10:43] <Wubix> randomcpp: have you checked if your screen is detected properly and the right screen resolution is used?
[10:45] <randomcpp> This problem appears to be unity only..on gnome-shell I hadn't had a flicker for an entire day
[11:01] <randomcpp>  opening the dash causes a lot of flickering
[11:43] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:44] <elhoir> randomcpp, i use Unity too, yes
[11:44] <elhoir> but i have not the issue you say
[11:44] <elhoir> :/
[11:45] <elhoir> the more problematic issue i have is not being able to log out from X
[11:45] <elhoir> only shutdown or reboot
[11:46] <randomcpp> :/
[11:46] <elhoir> gotta go, sorry
[11:47] <randomcpp> ok bye :)
[13:34] <elhoir> randomcpp, im here again
[13:34] <randomcpp> hi elhoir
[13:36] <Wubix> :)
[13:36] <elhoir> as i said, im planning to switch to the open source radeon driver
[13:37] <elhoir> because i feel fglrx is a bit slow
[13:37] <elhoir> but i have haD NO ISSUES WITH IT
[13:37] <elhoir> oh, sorry
[13:37] <elhoir> i have had no issues with it
[13:37] <randomcpp> I've tried them, but I notice that the gpu is warmer with oss drivers :/
[13:38] <elhoir> warmer = more heat ?
[13:38] <penguin42> randomcpp: I think power management went in fairly recently on the open drivers - and I'm not sure if it's on by default
[13:38] <randomcpp> elhoir, yep
[13:38] <elhoir> randomcpp, try enabling dmp
[13:38] <elhoir> dpm
[13:39] <elhoir> http://askubuntu.com/questions/324733/how-to-enable-the-radeon-dynamic-power-management-feature-in-ubuntu-13-04
[13:39]  * randomcpp is already reading :p
[13:39] <elhoir> :)
[13:40] <elhoir> penguin42, its not, afaik
[13:40] <elhoir> it will be in kernel 3.13, if i read correctly
[13:40] <randomcpp> elhoir, my card is a hd5650 mobility
[13:40] <randomcpp> btw
[13:40] <elhoir> mine is a HD 6570
[13:40] <elhoir> and i have a 4550 in my laptop
[13:41] <elhoir> 5145, to be more precise xd
[13:42] <randomcpp> is it just a flag in grub right?
[13:43] <elhoir> yes
[13:43] <elhoir> let me show you my line
[13:43] <elhoir> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash nopat quiet radeon.dpm=1 crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M"
[13:43] <randomcpp> sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates fglrx-updates-dev :D
[13:43] <elhoir> look a the "radeon.dpm=1"
[13:44] <randomcpp> what's nopat for? (curiosity :p)
[13:44] <elhoir> randomcpp, i'd better use the software-properties-gtk applet
[13:44] <elhoir> nopat... no idea, but... "if something works, do not touch it" :P
[13:45] <randomcpp> elhoir, I never liked it, I always managed to install fglrx drivers manually
[13:45] <randomcpp> lol
[13:47] <randomcpp> reboot see you later
[13:47] <randomcpp> wish me good luck :D
[13:50] <elhoir> randomcpp, hey :)
[13:50] <randomcpp> I'm back
[13:50] <elhoir> a clue: instead of "sudo apt-get remove --purge", you can "sudo apt-get purge" directly
[13:50] <elhoir> :)
[13:51] <randomcpp> uvd    vclk: 0 dclk: 0
[13:51] <randomcpp> power level 0    sclk: 40000 mclk: 79000 vddc: 950 vddci: 0
[13:51] <elhoir> ^^
[13:52] <randomcpp> temperature is around 59°C
[13:53] <randomcpp> I should check some steam games if they work
[13:55] <randomcpp> D: euro truck simulator doesn't work
[13:55] <randomcpp> serious sam 3 works
[13:56] <elhoir> im not sure steam works with AMD cards
[13:56] <elhoir> its astonishing slow even with fglrx
[13:58] <randomcpp> psychonauts works too
[13:58] <randomcpp> euro truck sim works pretty good with fglrx drivers though
[14:03] <randomcpp> can I calibrate external monitor colors with oss drivers?
[14:16] <randomcpp> with oss driver smooth scrolling in firefox is really smooth :)
[14:41] <elhoir_> are you running unity with os drivers?
[14:52] <randomcpp> elhoir_, yep
[14:53] <elhoir_> ...and? how smooth is it? :)
[14:53] <randomcpp> very smooth :)
[14:54] <randomcpp> it's just euro truck simulator that doesn't work D:
[14:54] <elhoir_> :(
[14:54] <randomcpp> other games (SS3 psychonauts..) seem to run fine though
[14:55] <elhoir_> run glxgears and see FPSs :)
[14:56] <randomcpp> temperature seems also ok with gpm enabled
[14:56] <randomcpp> 60 fps :p vertical sync enabled >.<
[14:56] <elhoir_> thats good :)
[14:57] <elhoir_> definitely i will switch to them
[14:57] <randomcpp> how can I disable vsync in radeon?
[14:57] <elhoir_> try running driconf
[15:00] <randomcpp> I can't find anything vsync related in driconf
[15:01] <elhoir> no idea then....
[15:01] <elhoir> sorry
[15:01] <randomcpp> np
[15:01] <randomcpp> do you know how can I calibrate monitor colors?
[15:02] <elhoir> no idea either :(
[15:02] <elhoir> oh wait
[15:02] <elhoir> in the System Settings menu
[15:03] <elhoir> there is a "color" option
[15:03] <elhoir> i havent tried, but....
[15:03] <elhoir> maybe it is there
[15:03] <randomcpp> yeah but calibrate.. is greyed out
[15:03] <elhoir> try adding a profile
[15:03] <elhoir> or something like it
[15:04] <randomcpp> I've already tried nothing seems to work
[15:04] <elhoir> aha... if you say "show details", it tells you about  installins additional packages
[15:04] <elhoir> lets see what happens :)
[15:05] <randomcpp> elhoir, I've already installed those pkgs
[15:06] <randomcpp> my external monitor is old and it has weird contrast
[15:06] <randomcpp> with fglrx I've found a good setting for this issue
[15:07] <elhoir> no idea then ... :(
[15:07] <randomcpp> but unity is smooooth as butter :p
[15:53] <elhoir> rebooting
[16:10] <elhoir> back
[22:48] <elhoir|wrk> lets see what does XMir bring to 14.04 :)
[22:56] <randomcpp> elhoir|wrk, have you switched to radeon? :)
[22:57] <elhoir|wrk> randomcpp: not yet, im waiting for about 300 MB downloads before switching and rebooting :)
[22:57] <elhoir|wrk> 300 MB of updates download, i mean :)
[22:57] <randomcpp> yeah I get it :)
[22:58] <elhoir|wrk> most of games switch to a "medium" graphics quality, because oss drivers report my card as RV710
[22:58] <elhoir|wrk> which is unknown
[22:59] <elhoir|wrk> instead of "HD 4500"
[22:59] <elhoir|wrk> which would be known
[22:59] <elhoir|wrk> :(
[22:59] <randomcpp> :/
[22:59] <elhoir|wrk> but if you set graphics to "high" it works xd
[22:59] <elhoir|wrk> its a bit tricky
[22:59] <randomcpp> I still don't have a clue why euro truck doesn't work :(
[22:59] <elhoir|wrk> :P
[23:00] <randomcpp> is it a mobility or desktop?
[23:00] <elhoir|wrk> mobility
[23:00] <elhoir|wrk> its a laptoip
[23:00] <elhoir|wrk> laptop
[23:00] <elhoir|wrk> i have a HD 6570 in my desktop PC
[23:00] <randomcpp> yeah I have a hd mobility too..but I can't get games to run full details
[23:00] <elhoir|wrk> well im not a gamer...
[23:01] <elhoir|wrk> games i play are... quite old
[23:01] <randomcpp> even if it's a bit newer than yours (hd 5650 1gb)
[23:01] <elhoir|wrk> not very high requirements
[23:02] <randomcpp> for example? :) (I'm curious)
[23:02] <elhoir|wrk> Amnesia, iirc :)
[23:02] <elhoir|wrk> GTA San Andreas
[23:03] <elhoir|wrk> ...
[23:03] <randomcpp> well amnesia has nice graphics imho
[23:03] <elhoir|wrk> yeah
[23:03] <elhoir|wrk> i love the game
[23:04] <randomcpp> I'm a bit stuck somewhere..I don't remember where at the moment..next summer after exams I'll finish it I promise :P
[23:16] <elhoir|wrk> i went until the water monster 1st appear
[23:16] <elhoir|wrk> couldnt pass that scenario
[23:16] <elhoir|wrk> :(
[23:18] <randomcpp> that damn water!
[23:18] <randomcpp> I think I'm there too
[23:32] <randomcpp> goodnight :)
