[10:09] <bongmode> hello
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <bongmode> im on terminal right now
[10:17] <CraHan> Time to change the channel topic? :)
[13:00] <majod> id like to customize the login screen in 14.04, change background, etc,...how can i do that?
[14:37] <majod> hi. i have some issues with fglrx drivers, have tearing when moving windows around...no problems with open source drivers...whats the problem?
[14:50] <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
[14:59] <DASPRiD> majod, have you enabled vsync?
[15:00] <majod> DASPRiD: yes its "always on". however, tearing appears only on top part of screen. no tearing on rest of the screen
[15:02] <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/
[15:03] <DASPRiD> first google result ;)
[15:03] <majod> awesome. i read it alredy.
[15:03] <majod> ;)
[15:04] <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
[15:05] <DASPRiD> (vsync => always off)
[15:06] <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)
[15:08] <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
[15:10] <majod> im curious what happens in games. downloading dota, will see.
[15:12] <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
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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 :)
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <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 :)
[15:48] <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
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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?
[18:53] <DASPRiD> by default, your desktop user and pw
[18:53] <DASPRiD> and host ist the ip of your computer
[18:57] <BlitzHere> Ah, okay
[19:01] <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
[19:15] <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?
 Thanks, allowing anonymous logins worked. A bit insecure but should do the job for now, and my network is private anyway
[23:54] <MathCubes> Hello can anyone help me?
