[02:29] <darkxst> mephux, I don't have any ATI hardware
[14:13] <octoquad> mephux, I have an ATI card. I'll give it a bash...
[14:14] <mephux> octoquad: thanks
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <mephux> ati radeon r9 200
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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?
[14:23] <mephux> nah, single
[14:23] <octoquad> should be less painful to setup then
[14:24] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <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
[14:31] <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/
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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"
[14:34] <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
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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/
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <mephux> so i have to dpkg --purge
[14:40] <mephux> no errors or anything.. oddly
[14:40] <mephux> but w/e
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <mephux> reboot worked fine
[14:42] <mephux> octoquad: roger - just intrested if you run into any issues
[14:43] <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!
[14:44] <mephux> thanks - so far its epic.. first time using linux on the desktop in like 10 years
[14:45] <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. :)
[14:46] <mephux> i used unity for about 5 mins before i was like.. wtf is this.. haha
[14:47] <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.
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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/
[14:50] <mephux> yea, i have a few - Im working on one for auditd atm
[14:50] <mephux> so i can see syscalls
[14:51] <octoquad> interesting
[14:52] <mephux> i was surprised no one has made one showing the current apps making and rev network connections and how much
[14:53] <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!
[14:54] <mephux> later and thanks
[14:54] <octoquad> no problem! ciao
[18:30] <MrSavage> I find a weird bug
[18:31] <MrSavage> when i apply global dark theme, it makes the ubuntu software center's text unreadable
[18:33] <MrSavage> as seen http://imgur.com/WcDrTzb
[23:40] <ubuntu-gnome> hi
[23:40] <jazzkutya> so i have just booted up ubuntugnome 14.10 livecd and went into settings
[23:41] <jazzkutya> is this a joke? where are all the settings? like mouse sensitivity, display resolution _with_ refresh rates, multiple desktops/workspaces?
