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