| lapion | is there any possibility to get the power statistics app back on ubuntu-mate 1.20.1 ? | 07:36 |
| schyken | Just popped in from the Welcome Center. I'm rather impressed that this has been set up so conveniently! Very impressive. :D | 08:43 |
| lapion | is there any possibility to get the power statistics app back on ubuntu-mate 18.04 with mate 1.20.1 ? | 16:20 |
| vkareh | lapion: what do you mean? The Power Statistics app is there, part of mate-power-manager | 16:32 |
| vkareh | lapion: try running `mate-power-statistics` | 16:33 |
| dreamscape | Hi everyone, is there a driver i can use on 18.04 LTS for my 5450? | 16:35 |
| vkareh | dreamscape: if by 5450 you mean the Radeon graphics card, if the ones provided in the repos don't work for you (radeon, fglrx? haven't done ATI in a while) you might need to download directly from their website: https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux | 16:41 |
| vkareh | then run `aticonfig` I think... | 16:42 |
| dreamscape | Hmmm, I'm on a later version though won't that cause problems? And yes sorry I mean the Radeon card. | 16:42 |
| vkareh | dreamscape: I honestly don't know... I haven't had a Radeon card in a while :/ | 16:43 |
| dreamscape | I play OpenGL Doom and in windows this card is like butter, on ubuntu its choppy and has microstutters. I hate windows so really want to try and get it working the same on here. | 16:43 |
| dreamscape | Are Radeon cards less supported than Nvidia in Ubuntu? | 16:44 |
| vkareh | no, I think graphics support is the other way around: Radeon has better support for Linux than Nvidia does (AMD puts out open source drivers, AFAIK, whereas Nvidia does not). As for me I only really have laptops, so those typically come with either Nvidia or Intel | 16:46 |
| dreamscape | Ahhh ok well any idea why i get micro stutters vs windows? It's so lovely and smooth in windows but Ubuntu its 60fps but it stutters its not as smooth. | 16:50 |
| vkareh | dreamscape: no idea :( try running `inxi -G` to see what drivers you're currently using. You can also try running `ubuntu-drivers devices` and see what drivers are available | 16:58 |
| dreamscape | https://pastebin.com/HjJWpj2S | 16:59 |
| dreamscape | 'ubuntu-drivers devices' brings up nothing | 16:59 |
| vkareh | dreamscape: from that pastebin I see that you're using AMD Cedar as your OpenGL renderer, you should definitely use Mesa, which the amdgpu driver should have proper support for. So try installing "xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu". If that doesn't work, you might need to download the amdgpu driver from the AMD/ATI website unfortunately. | 17:14 |
| dreamscape | Thank you i will give it a go | 17:16 |
| dreamscape | xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu is already the newest version (18.0.1-1). | 17:16 |
| dreamscape | How do i switch to Mesa? | 17:16 |
| vkareh | ugh... :/ | 17:16 |
| vkareh | I think I've reached the limit of my knowledge regarding graphic card drivers :( | 17:17 |
| vkareh | try installing `xserver-xorg-video-radeon` and see if that makes any difference? | 17:18 |
| vkareh | There's also `xserver-xorg-video-ati`, which I have no idea about either | 17:19 |
| dreamscape | Thanks i will try it | 17:30 |
| dreamscape | They are all the latest version apparently | 17:30 |
| vkareh | but which one it's using? try again with ubuntu-drivers, but run maybe `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` or `ubuntu-drivers list` and see what happens? If they are all installed, there should be a way of telling it which one to use (that's what ubuntu-drivers does) | 17:34 |
| dreamscape | no output | 17:35 |
| vkareh | :( | 17:37 |
