=== ph_afk is now known as ph1 [10:09] hello [10:10] 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 [10:11] im on terminal right now [10:17] Time to change the channel topic? :) [13:00] id like to customize the login screen in 14.04, change background, etc,...how can i do that? === ph_afk is now known as ph1 [14:37] hi. i have some issues with fglrx drivers, have tearing when moving windows around...no problems with open source drivers...whats the problem? [14:50] 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 [14:59] majod, have you enabled vsync? [15:00] DASPRiD: yes its "always on". however, tearing appears only on top part of screen. no tearing on rest of the screen [15:02] mh, must be a driver bug then [15:02] ok so how to solve [15:02] http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1nl4t2/fglrxs_tearfree_desktop_feature/ [15:03] first google result ;) [15:03] awesome. i read it alredy. [15:03] ;) [15:04] does it help? [15:04] when i enable tear-free, the whole desktop is very laggy and slow [15:04] well, did you disable vsync as suggested? [15:04] ok, not "very", but theres noticable difference...but yes, the tearing disappears [15:05] (vsync => always off) [15:06] disabling vsync is even worse. tearing everywhere [15:06] strange, they say that this solved it for many (tear free enabled and vsync disabled) [15:08] 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 [15:10] im curious what happens in games. downloading dota, will see. [15:12] 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] how much ram do you have? [15:12] 8GB... [15:12] well, you'd need 8gb for hibernation if you use that [15:12] i dont [15:13] i have disabled swap completely, but then i have 32gb… [15:13] ok, that makes sense, i forgot that [15:13] i didnt use swap on windows...i think it would be ok on ubuntu too, but ...just to be sure [15:13] well, 8gb could still hit their limit with a vm or something [15:13] i use VMs too :) but give them 4GB only [15:14] you can change the partition size, although you'd have to do that frm a live system [15:14] so its possible to take free space from one partition and assign it to another? [15:14] sure [15:14] awesome, thanks for help :) [15:15] depending on where the partitions are located, some bytes may have to be shifted [15:15] oh alright [15:15] boot into live system and use gparted, should be pretty straight forward [15:15] i have ubuntu gnome installatino on usb, is it possible from that? [15:15] sure [15:15] is gparted on there? because its not in installed OS [15:16] nope, just sudo apt-get install gparted [15:16] you can install on live usb? :O [15:16] sure [15:16] it's just not permanent [15:16] hmm. amazing. [15:16] gonna try dota now. [15:16] http://stuff.dasprids.de/screenshots/2014/04/20/171656.png [15:17] you'll have a dialog like that thre [15:17] alright. i think ill figure it out once i see it [15:17] great :) [15:48] 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] too bad video hw acceleration is not working [18:51] 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 [18:52] 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? [18:53] by default, your desktop user and pw [18:53] and host ist the ip of your computer [18:57] Ah, okay [19:01] 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 [19:15] 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? [19:46] Thanks, allowing anonymous logins worked. A bit insecure but should do the job for now, and my network is private anyway [23:54] Hello can anyone help me?
