| darkxst | jseliga, 3 monitors here ;) | 04:13 |
|---|---|---|
| jseliga | darkxst: how many graphics cards? | 04:13 |
| darkxst | jseliga, 1, my card can do 4 heads | 04:14 |
| darkxst | before I got that card, third monitor was on server and used synergy to control | 04:15 |
| jseliga | Everything I'm reading is saying it's a huge hassle to run multiple monitors across two cards | 04:18 |
| jseliga | Though most of it dates back to 12.04, is that still true? | 04:19 |
| darkxst | jseliga, never tried that | 04:20 |
| jseliga | It's really shocking to me that multi-monitors across multiple cards isn't common place throughout the linux community | 04:21 |
| darkxst | more shocking that multiple monitors isn't common place | 04:22 |
| jseliga | Hm I'm not sure, I think it is, I just think it's strictly two-monitor setups, which any above average card for the last 6+ years can handle. | 04:23 |
| darkxst | not that many people run dual head setups even | 04:23 |
| jseliga | Perhaps my experience is not the norm. Our entire IT department runs dual, some are even on quad setups. Though we are a Windows shop. I'm the only one running Linux. | 04:24 |
| darkxst | jseliga, xrandr should support multiple gpus these days | 04:25 |
| darkxst | that is how the hybrid support it done | 04:27 |
| darkxst | xinerama couldnt support multi-monitors, but I think that is completely extinct now | 04:28 |
| darkxst | multi-gpu even | 04:28 |
| jseliga | darkxst, excuse the ignorance, but would that be something the GNOME Displays settings would pickup all monitors connected across both cards? | 04:28 |
| darkxst | I don't think there is any GUI to configure offloading | 04:29 |
| darkxst | once its configured, it will show up in that though | 04:29 |
| darkxst | see xrandr --setprovideroutputsource and --setprovideroffloadsink | 04:30 |
| darkxst | probably the first is what you want though | 04:31 |
| jseliga | This is all hypothetical for me at the moment, looking to build a new rig. But don't want to waste time or money trying to do something that will be buggy at best | 04:34 |
| darkxst | jseliga, just get a GTX750 then | 04:34 |
| darkxst | they pretty much all support 4, exact configuration depends on the brand though | 04:35 |
| jseliga | Yeah I was looking at the 980 | 04:37 |
| darkxst | I don't play games so the 750 is ample | 04:43 |
| jseliga | What was the performance of synergy like? | 04:44 |
| darkxst | its fine, it just offloads mouse/keyboard input across to the other machine | 04:45 |
| jseliga | Switching gears real quick | 04:45 |
| jseliga | I can't get the personal file sharing to work | 04:46 |
| darkxst | 3.14? | 04:46 |
| jseliga | 3.12 | 04:46 |
| darkxst | it should work on 3.12 | 04:46 |
| darkxst | had to disable it in 3.14 though until we get network-manager update | 04:46 |
| jseliga | I had to install libapahce2-mod-dnssd to get the feature enabled | 04:46 |
| jseliga | I have Share public files on network checked, but my other ubuntu machines don't see the Public folder over the network | 04:48 |
| darkxst | I tend to just use manual nfs/samba configs | 04:48 |
| jseliga | That's what I ended up doing, just don't like using it. | 04:49 |
| jseliga | Also, I'm not sure if it's a bug, but when I go to setup a local network share for the first time it prompts me to install the service. When that install is done, it prompts another window to install libpam-smbpass except the window is greyed out. | 04:50 |
| jseliga | It's happened to me on two different machines | 04:51 |
| darkxst | probably a dependency issue, so file a bug | 04:51 |
| jseliga | Hear anything else about the UbuntuGNOME website? | 04:52 |
| darkxst | there was some discussion on the list this morning | 04:52 |
| darkxst | Oh, just realised Niels was only replying to me. Niels has presented a design. I think we could have a small team of two-three people working on the website to have the best website ever, don't you think guys? | 04:53 |
| darkxst | The link of the live design of the current design: http://188.226.238.182/. | 04:53 |
| darkxst | Cheers, | 04:53 |
| darkxst | Alfredo | 04:53 |
| jseliga | Is it still just in the design phase or is someone already actively working on the project? | 04:56 |
| darkxst | jseliga, well its not finished, but email Niels | 04:59 |
| darkxst | and/or Alfredo and Satyajit | 05:00 |
| LinDol | have a goodnight | 14:34 |
