| ubottu | Package glxspheres does not exist in trusty | 01:35 |
| alkisg | Now with logind, what's the equivalent of `ck-list-sessions`? | 07:16 |
| randomcpp | hello everyone | 09:46 |
| randomcpp | does anyone here use fglrx drivers from trusty? | 09:46 |
| elhoir | me | 10:26 |
| elhoir | im using fglrx in trusty | 10:26 |
| elhoir | randomcpp, :) | 10:27 |
| elhoir | but im about switching to open source radeon driver | 10:27 |
| * elhoir is already using the OS driver for his laptop | 10:28 | |
| randomcpp | elhoir, | 10:32 |
| randomcpp | do you use unity too? | 10:32 |
| randomcpp | I'm asking because I'm having some troubles since I've installed fglrx 13.12, that I haven't had before.. | 10:39 |
| randomcpp | it's some sort of screen flickering | 10:40 |
| Wubix | randomcpp: have you checked if your screen is detected properly and the right screen resolution is used? | 10:43 |
| randomcpp | This problem appears to be unity only..on gnome-shell I hadn't had a flicker for an entire day | 10:45 |
| randomcpp | opening the dash causes a lot of flickering | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:43 |
| elhoir | randomcpp, i use Unity too, yes | 11:44 |
| elhoir | but i have not the issue you say | 11:44 |
| elhoir | :/ | 11:44 |
| elhoir | the more problematic issue i have is not being able to log out from X | 11:45 |
| elhoir | only shutdown or reboot | 11:45 |
| randomcpp | :/ | 11:46 |
| elhoir | gotta go, sorry | 11:46 |
| randomcpp | ok bye :) | 11:47 |
| elhoir | randomcpp, im here again | 13:34 |
| randomcpp | hi elhoir | 13:34 |
| Wubix | :) | 13:36 |
| elhoir | as i said, im planning to switch to the open source radeon driver | 13:36 |
| 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 :/ | 13:37 |
| 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 | 13:38 |
| 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 | :) | 13:39 |
| 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 | 13:40 |
| elhoir | 5145, to be more precise xd | 13:41 |
| randomcpp | is it just a flag in grub right? | 13:42 |
| 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" | 13:43 |
| 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 | 13:44 |
| randomcpp | elhoir, I never liked it, I always managed to install fglrx drivers manually | 13:45 |
| randomcpp | lol | 13:45 |
| randomcpp | reboot see you later | 13:47 |
| randomcpp | wish me good luck :D | 13:47 |
| 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 | :) | 13:50 |
| randomcpp | uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 | 13:51 |
| randomcpp | power level 0 sclk: 40000 mclk: 79000 vddc: 950 vddci: 0 | 13:51 |
| elhoir | ^^ | 13:51 |
| randomcpp | temperature is around 59°C | 13:52 |
| randomcpp | I should check some steam games if they work | 13:53 |
| randomcpp | D: euro truck simulator doesn't work | 13:55 |
| randomcpp | serious sam 3 works | 13:55 |
| elhoir | im not sure steam works with AMD cards | 13:56 |
| elhoir | its astonishing slow even with fglrx | 13:56 |
| randomcpp | psychonauts works too | 13:58 |
| randomcpp | euro truck sim works pretty good with fglrx drivers though | 13:58 |
| randomcpp | can I calibrate external monitor colors with oss drivers? | 14:03 |
| randomcpp | with oss driver smooth scrolling in firefox is really smooth :) | 14:16 |
| elhoir_ | are you running unity with os drivers? | 14:41 |
| randomcpp | elhoir_, yep | 14:52 |
| elhoir_ | ...and? how smooth is it? :) | 14:53 |
| randomcpp | very smooth :) | 14:53 |
| 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 | 14:54 |
| elhoir_ | run glxgears and see FPSs :) | 14:55 |
| randomcpp | temperature seems also ok with gpm enabled | 14:56 |
| randomcpp | 60 fps :p vertical sync enabled >.< | 14:56 |
| elhoir_ | thats good :) | 14:56 |
| elhoir_ | definitely i will switch to them | 14:57 |
| randomcpp | how can I disable vsync in radeon? | 14:57 |
| elhoir_ | try running driconf | 14:57 |
| randomcpp | I can't find anything vsync related in driconf | 15:00 |
| elhoir | no idea then.... | 15:01 |
| elhoir | sorry | 15:01 |
| randomcpp | np | 15:01 |
| randomcpp | do you know how can I calibrate monitor colors? | 15:01 |
| elhoir | no idea either :( | 15:02 |
| elhoir | oh wait | 15:02 |
| elhoir | in the System Settings menu | 15:02 |
| 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 | 15:03 |
| 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 :) | 15:04 |
| randomcpp | elhoir, I've already installed those pkgs | 15:05 |
| 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 | 15:06 |
| elhoir | no idea then ... :( | 15:07 |
| randomcpp | but unity is smooooth as butter :p | 15:07 |
| elhoir | rebooting | 15:53 |
| elhoir | back | 16:10 |

| elhoir|wrk | lets see what does XMir bring to 14.04 :) | 22:48 |
| randomcpp | elhoir|wrk, have you switched to radeon? :) | 22:56 |
| 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 :) | 22:57 |
| 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 | 22:58 |
| 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 | 22:59 |
| 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... | 23:00 |
| 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 | 23:01 |
| randomcpp | for example? :) (I'm curious) | 23:02 |
| elhoir|wrk | Amnesia, iirc :) | 23:02 |
| elhoir|wrk | GTA San Andreas | 23:02 |
| elhoir|wrk | ... | 23:03 |
| randomcpp | well amnesia has nice graphics imho | 23:03 |
| elhoir|wrk | yeah | 23:03 |
| elhoir|wrk | i love the game | 23:03 |
| 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 | 23:04 |
| elhoir|wrk | i went until the water monster 1st appear | 23:16 |
| elhoir|wrk | couldnt pass that scenario | 23:16 |
| elhoir|wrk | :( | 23:16 |
| randomcpp | that damn water! | 23:18 |
| randomcpp | I think I'm there too | 23:18 |
| === soee_ is now known as soee | ||
| randomcpp | goodnight :) | 23:32 |
