[09:44] <paul_> Hello, I used the driver manager in 15.04 to install fglrx but, it wouldn't load after reboot so I removed fglrx to use the oss driver but now I am stuck at 800x600.
=== BlackBox__ is now known as FlameReaper-PC
[09:54] <ap0c> paul_ : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[09:55] <ap0c> Are you trying to switch from the fglrx to oss?
[09:55] <ap0c> Or did you accidentally remove fglrx
[09:59] <paul_> tring to get oss to work again
[10:00] <paul_> It works only at 800x600 now and fglrx wouldn't load a gui at all
[10:02] <paul_> Before the oss driver worked fine just Steam didn't like it
[10:05] <snele> anyone on plasma 5 and nvidia drivers experience occasional freezes and desktop effects resets?
[10:06] <snele> i got this desktop effects resets on plasma 5.2 and 5.3
[10:12] <paul_> Following fglrx purge instructions.
[10:13] <paul_> Rebooting, I hope this Works.
[10:14] <hateball> yossarianuk: default install will set up a daily trim iirc
[10:14] <hateball> yossarianuk: be careful if you're using a samsung ssd
[10:20] <paul_> nope still stuck at 800x 600

[10:23] <paul_> 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Richland [Radeon HD 8610G]
[10:25] <lordievader> paul_: Is that the full output?
[10:28] <paul_> well execpt for the audio for the hdmi
[10:30] <paul_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12070152/
[10:31] <lordievader> Right, so no driver is loaded.
[10:31] <paul_> ah lol
[10:31] <paul_> I folowed the flgrx purge instructions on the ubuntu site.
[10:32] <lordievader> Is the radeon driver still blacklisted?
[10:32] <paul_> I wanted to run steam but flgrx doesn't work and I just wanted to go back to oss
[10:33] <paul_> Not sure
[10:33] <paul_> how to check?
[10:33] <lordievader> paul_: Should be a file somewhere in /etc/modprobe blacklisting it if so.
[10:39] <paul_> I have fglrx-core.conf in modprobe blacklist
[10:40] <paul_> contents http://paste.ubuntu.com/12070187/
[10:42] <lordievader> Yeah, that one blacklists the radeon driver.
[10:44] <paul_> So, I'd love to get one or the other working right.
[10:46] <paul_> Nevermond I need to get to bed I'll deal with it later. thanks.

[14:34] <josue_> or where is the roadmap?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> josue_:  if it follows the pattern, then the next LTS should 16.04 , or every 2 yrs
[14:37] <BluesKaj> should be 16.04, that is

[15:31] <dingus234> can someone do me a quick favor? can you dump a untouched copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf to pastebin?
[15:52] <TomyWork> hi
[15:52] <TomyWork> how should i hibernate/suspend-to-disk from the command line?
[15:54] <TomyWork> ideally with locking the screen and all the usual things KDE does when i pick hibernate from the K menu
[15:56] <TomyWork> oh i'll just lock the screen before going home and use pm-hibernate
[15:57] <BluesKaj> I've been using pm-suspend and it works fine
[16:04] <TomyWork> "This utility may only be run by the root user." err fail :D
[16:05] <TomyWork> good thing that long-running process wasnt so long-running

[18:27] <paul_> I used the driver manager to install flgrx in 15.04 but, X wouldn't start so I removed it by apt-get purge flgrx now the oss driver works again but it is stuck on 800x600
[18:28] <lordievader> paul_: Did you remove the blacklist?
[18:28] <paul_> Ah hello again
[18:28] <paul_> Do I remove the file or edit it/
[18:29] <lordievader> Edit
[18:29] <paul_> OK I will open it tell me what to edit.
[18:31] <lordievader> paul_: Uncomment the blacklist.
[18:31] <lordievader> Err comment ;)
[18:33] <paul_> Nothing is commented except the comment at the top saying to not deit the file.
[18:34] <lordievader> paul_: Yes. But you don't want the radeon driver to be blacklisted, so you comment the line which blacklists the driver.
[18:34] <paul_> Ah ok.
[18:35] <paul_> Done and rebooting
[18:35] <lordievader> ...

[18:59] <dougl> is there a way to make notes in the little calender that pops up from my task bar?

[19:25] <BluesKaj> ok, Majik_ which audio chip ?
[19:29] <BluesKaj> Majik_: to find the audio/souncard/chip run, lspci -nn | grep -i audio
[19:30] <Majik_> BluesKaj: thank you, I was searching it too xD https://paste.kde.org/p3xohoa1o/lfkrda/raw
[19:41] <BluesKaj> Majik_:  open alsamixer and disable auto mute , and of course make sure the master volume is turned right up , and  you might have a headphone vol ctl so set that up as well
