| octoquad | mephux, I have an ATI card. I'll give it a bash... | 14:13 |
| mephux | octoquad: thanks | 14:14 |
| octoquad | mephux, works ok for me | 14:19 |
| octoquad | what card do you have? | 14:19 |
| mephux | octoquad: hhm, ok thanks - guess i'll keep looking | 14:19 |
| mephux | ati radeon r9 200 | 14:20 |
| octoquad | Have you tried removing the xorg.conf out the way in /etc/X11/ | 14:21 |
| octoquad | removing = moving | 14:21 |
| mephux | I don't have an xorg.conf currently | 14:21 |
| octoquad | ok, you can also try amdconfig --initial | 14:22 |
| octoquad | from the command line after install | 14:22 |
| mephux | yea, trying that again now | 14:22 |
| octoquad | I also don't have a xorg.conf, so that is one thing to eliminate | 14:22 |
| octoquad | is this a dual screen setup? | 14:22 |
| mephux | nah, single | 14:23 |
| octoquad | should be less painful to setup then | 14:23 |
| LinDol | hi all | 14:24 |
| mephux | hm, so creating the xorg.conf and dropping to the shell and starting x again worked.. that never worked before | 14:24 |
| mephux | would always segfault | 14:24 |
| octoquad | interesting | 14:24 |
| octoquad | maybe the kernel didn't load up the module before | 14:24 |
| octoquad | Also from my experience, open amdcccle as root and change a few things and save. The configuration should stick then if used via amdcccle. I had a problem with overscan at one point. | 14:28 |
| mephux | yea, just did that and it seems better | 14:28 |
| octoquad | awesome | 14:28 |
| octoquad | a reboot is the ultimate test :P | 14:29 |
| mephux | fglrxinfo shows the right card but settings > details > shows the VESA: HAWAII | 14:29 |
| mephux | yea, rebooted and its working ok | 14:29 |
| octoquad | Mine is VESA: TAHITI | 14:29 |
| mephux | still missing the startup and shutdown screens.. but word | 14:29 |
| mephux | octoquad: so doesn't that mean its defaulting to the opengl drivers? | 14:30 |
| mephux | mesa | 14:30 |
| mephux | or is that ok | 14:30 |
| octoquad | run fglrxinfo and tell me what the output is | 14:30 |
| mephux | kk | 14:30 |
| octoquad | no sudo needed | 14:30 |
| octoquad | also run lspci | grep AMD | 14:31 |
| octoquad | It should say Hawaii for your card | 14:31 |
| mephux | octoquad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9596378/ | 14:31 |
| mephux | octoquad: output for lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/9596381/ | 14:32 |
| mephux | so looks ok i guess | 14:32 |
| octoquad | mephux, looks good | 14:32 |
| octoquad | yeah | 14:32 |
| mephux | octoquad: ok, word - thanks. | 14:33 |
| octoquad | you can also do lspci -vvv and scroll down to your VGA controller listing | 14:33 |
| mephux | i'll see if i can track down the start/off screen issue and open a ticket or pull request | 14:33 |
| mephux | looking. | 14:33 |
| octoquad | the kernel driver in use should say "fglrx_pci" | 14:33 |
| mephux | octoquad: looks good | 14:34 |
| mephux | i see it | 14:34 |
| octoquad | Funny thing is I don't get that blank screen before login. Only if I'm not using the flgrx. | 14:34 |
| octoquad | awesome | 14:34 |
| mephux | octoquad: so, one thing i noticed.. using the fglrx-updates package was way better for me va the default fglrx or even the direct download from the ATI site | 14:35 |
| mephux | not sure why. lol | 14:35 |
| octoquad | which version of ubuntu gnome are you using 14.04 or 14.10? | 14:35 |
| mephux | 14.10 | 14:36 |
| mephux | testing it | 14:36 |
| octoquad | If I do apt-cache policy {fglrx,fglrx-updates} they are the same version | 14:36 |
| octoquad | on 14.10 though | 14:36 |
| octoquad | Have a look at the candidate field | 14:36 |
| mephux | maybe a change in the postint.sh for the deb? | 14:37 |
| mephux | dunno | 14:37 |
| octoquad | so technically, there should be no difference at all | 14:37 |
| mephux | hhm | 14:37 |
| mephux | guess its in my head.. haha | 14:37 |
| octoquad | maybe lol | 14:37 |
| octoquad | in what way was -updates better? performance or visual? | 14:38 |
| mephux | wouldn't be the first time i placeboed myself | 14:38 |
| mephux | perf/ | 14:38 |
| octoquad | haha | 14:39 |
| mephux | I was using unity ubuntu before this and managed to get the driver from the site installed.. on ugnome it wont allow x to start | 14:39 |
| mephux | so i have to dpkg --purge | 14:40 |
| mephux | no errors or anything.. oddly | 14:40 |
| mephux | but w/e | 14:40 |
| mephux | i can live with this | 14:41 |
| octoquad | interesting I've tried all three methods and they have worked. But this was still 13.10 at the time. This is the first time since then that I have installed fglrx | 14:41 |
| octoquad | great, do you want to reboot just to make sure everything works as expected? | 14:41 |
| mephux | octoquad: if you get a chance.. try the one from the site. | 14:41 |
| mephux | kk, brb | 14:41 |
| octoquad | ok, I'll give it a bash | 14:41 |
| octoquad | maybe tomorrow though | 14:41 |
| mephux | reboot worked fine | 14:42 |
| mephux | octoquad: roger - just intrested if you run into any issues | 14:42 |
| octoquad | I will share my findings if I do | 14:43 |
| octoquad | that's great, glad to hear it's working ok | 14:43 |
| mephux | octoquad: kk, thanks for the help today | 14:43 |
| octoquad | no problem :) Enjoy Ubuntu Gnome! | 14:43 |
| mephux | thanks - so far its epic.. first time using linux on the desktop in like 10 years | 14:44 |
| octoquad | Yeah I made the switch to Ubuntu Gnome at the end of 13.10, I was a bit tired of the performance from unity, but I'm glad I switched. Two days later I installed Ubuntu Gnome on my work machine and I haven't looked back. Although I am curious to see how it's going on that front nowadays. :) | 14:45 |
| mephux | i used unity for about 5 mins before i was like.. wtf is this.. haha | 14:46 |
| mephux | gnome 3 is epic tho. super impressed by it althought a lot of folks hate.. personally I like it even more than macosx | 14:47 |
| octoquad | haha, It's no so bad. As a developer I like a change. It takes a few days to get used to anything any ways, but I'd been using Ubuntu since 9.04 if I recall correctly. | 14:47 |
| mephux | software wise i'm sure its solid.. just not my cup of tea. | 14:48 |
| octoquad | I agree, I just don't like the icons at the moment, but I switch them out for the Moka theme and icon set: http://mokaproject.com/ | 14:48 |
| mephux | oh, wow | 14:48 |
| mephux | nice.. ever saw this before | 14:48 |
| octoquad | I think the coolest thing that grab my attention was the extensions in gnome, blew my mind! lol | 14:49 |
| octoquad | no more ppa's for the core things that I needed: http://extensions.gnome.org/ | 14:49 |
| mephux | yea, i have a few - Im working on one for auditd atm | 14:50 |
| mephux | so i can see syscalls | 14:50 |
| octoquad | interesting | 14:51 |
| mephux | i was surprised no one has made one showing the current apps making and rev network connections and how much | 14:52 |
| octoquad | Let me know when it's complete, I'm keen to check it out | 14:53 |
| mephux | octoquad: for sure | 14:53 |
| octoquad | mephux, I'm glad you sorted on the AMD/ATI front, I'm off, I'll be back at bit later or tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your day! | 14:53 |
| mephux | later and thanks | 14:54 |
| octoquad | no problem! ciao | 14:54 |
