|---|---|---|
| bongmode | i got a little problem with my ubuntu gnome 14.04: i created a launcher with menulibre, then deleted the newly created 2nd internet application group and that was the moment my gnome desktop disappeared andd it also doesnt show up anymore on login | 10:10 |
| bongmode | im on terminal right now | 10:11 |
| CraHan | Time to change the channel topic? :) | 10:17 |
| majod | id like to customize the login screen in 14.04, change background, etc,...how can i do that? | 13:00 |

| majod | hi. i have some issues with fglrx drivers, have tearing when moving windows around...no problems with open source drivers...whats the problem? | 14:37 |
| ohUmbrella | Quick one - is it sane to update to 14.04 via the built-in manager? I'm running on a VM and can back up the image, but was wondering if this tends to cause strange issues down the road | 14:50 |
| DASPRiD | majod, have you enabled vsync? | 14:59 |
| majod | DASPRiD: yes its "always on". however, tearing appears only on top part of screen. no tearing on rest of the screen | 15:00 |
| DASPRiD | mh, must be a driver bug then | 15:02 |
| majod | ok so how to solve | 15:02 |
| DASPRiD | http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1nl4t2/fglrxs_tearfree_desktop_feature/ | 15:02 |
| DASPRiD | first google result ;) | 15:03 |
| majod | awesome. i read it alredy. | 15:03 |
| majod | ;) | 15:03 |
| DASPRiD | does it help? | 15:04 |
| majod | when i enable tear-free, the whole desktop is very laggy and slow | 15:04 |
| DASPRiD | well, did you disable vsync as suggested? | 15:04 |
| majod | ok, not "very", but theres noticable difference...but yes, the tearing disappears | 15:04 |
| DASPRiD | (vsync => always off) | 15:05 |
| majod | disabling vsync is even worse. tearing everywhere | 15:06 |
| DASPRiD | strange, they say that this solved it for many (tear free enabled and vsync disabled) | 15:06 |
| majod | for me the smoothest result is disabling tear free and enabling vsync. thats the best, the only con is tearing on top part of the screen, nowhere else | 15:08 |
| majod | im curious what happens in games. downloading dota, will see. | 15:10 |
| majod | oh also. i would like to reduce swap partition, i installed ubuntu with automatic partitioning and now i have 8GB swap partition. this calculations are absolutely ridiculous but whatever...is there any way how to cut 7GB from swap and put it to other partition? | 15:12 |
| DASPRiD | how much ram do you have? | 15:12 |
| majod | 8GB... | 15:12 |
| DASPRiD | well, you'd need 8gb for hibernation if you use that | 15:12 |
| majod | i dont | 15:12 |
| DASPRiD | i have disabled swap completely, but then i have 32gb… | 15:13 |
| majod | ok, that makes sense, i forgot that | 15:13 |
| majod | i didnt use swap on windows...i think it would be ok on ubuntu too, but ...just to be sure | 15:13 |
| DASPRiD | well, 8gb could still hit their limit with a vm or something | 15:13 |
| majod | i use VMs too :) but give them 4GB only | 15:13 |
| DASPRiD | you can change the partition size, although you'd have to do that frm a live system | 15:14 |
| majod | so its possible to take free space from one partition and assign it to another? | 15:14 |
| DASPRiD | sure | 15:14 |
| majod | awesome, thanks for help :) | 15:14 |
| DASPRiD | depending on where the partitions are located, some bytes may have to be shifted | 15:15 |
| majod | oh alright | 15:15 |
| DASPRiD | boot into live system and use gparted, should be pretty straight forward | 15:15 |
| majod | i have ubuntu gnome installatino on usb, is it possible from that? | 15:15 |
| DASPRiD | sure | 15:15 |
| majod | is gparted on there? because its not in installed OS | 15:15 |
| DASPRiD | nope, just sudo apt-get install gparted | 15:16 |
| majod | you can install on live usb? :O | 15:16 |
| DASPRiD | sure | 15:16 |
| DASPRiD | it's just not permanent | 15:16 |
| majod | hmm. amazing. | 15:16 |
| majod | gonna try dota now. | 15:16 |
| DASPRiD | http://stuff.dasprids.de/screenshots/2014/04/20/171656.png | 15:16 |
| DASPRiD | you'll have a dialog like that thre | 15:17 |
| majod | alright. i think ill figure it out once i see it | 15:17 |
| DASPRiD | great :) | 15:17 |
| majod | i had to remove fglrx. idk why its absolutely unusable. had 10fps in dota2...with open source drivers its 60...also desktop is much snappier | 15:48 |
| majod | too bad video hw acceleration is not working | 15:48 |
| BlitzHere | Okay, can anyone help me set up a samba share? I'm not sure how it works but I want to be able to access my home folder from both my phone and tablet | 18:51 |
| BlitzHere | I set the floder to share and samba is installed, but what are the Server host, user name and password that I have to enter on my mobile device? | 18:52 |
| DASPRiD | by default, your desktop user and pw | 18:53 |
| DASPRiD | and host ist the ip of your computer | 18:53 |
| BlitzHere | Ah, okay | 18:57 |
| BlitzHere | Odd, why does my router show two instances of my computer with two different mac addresses and two different IPs with DHCP leases expiring 4 seconds apart | 19:01 |
| BlitzHere | Ok, so, it turns out that ubuntu gave my router two different mac addresses and is connected simultaneously via ethernet cable and WiFi. Is this normal? | 19:15 |
| BlitzHere | <DASPRiD> Thanks, allowing anonymous logins worked. A bit insecure but should do the job for now, and my network is private anyway | 19:46 |
| MathCubes | Hello can anyone help me? | 23:54 |
