Lets do it here

Mochan

Cool. Thanks :)

iSeth

They are talking about something else there

Mochan

LOL

iSeth

well, they are.

Mochan

Where you there when I said my harddrive failed?

@iSeth True :S

iSeth

02:56

sorta, you rehashed it to me.

I did read the most of the transcript though

Mochan

Great :3

Well, I got my hard drive replaced yesterday.

iSeth

K

Mochan

And I didn't get any files or configs saved, so I'm on 12.04 fresh.

I tried to play the Sims 3 using Wine, but the graphics were distorted and screwed up. I figured it was because I hadn't installed proprietary drivers.

iSeth

hokey dokey

Mochan

So I installed them. But, it went into Low Graphics mode. I was able to install another drive via .run file, but I was unable to get out of Low graphics mode.

I ran sudo apt-get remove fglrx

And now I am back in Ubuntu. However it's in 2D mode.

room topic changed to Discussion about Mochan's Graphics Problems: (no tags)

:3

graphics card?

Mochan

AMD ATI Radeon HD 7300X

iSeth

just about one of the most troublesome.

Mochan

I know the ATI is a problem for Ubuntu, but I was able to use it fine last time. Also, before installing the drivers: Unity 3D. Fine.

:7570217 Hahaha I saw.

:P

iSeth

okay, so may I ask why 12.04?

Mochan

Coz I had it on a disc ~u~

Should I upgrade to 12.10?

iSeth

03:04

ah, I see.

@Mochan not yet.

Mochan

Why~? T__T I was on it before

iSeth

okay, fine.

why did you ask for help if you want to upgrade :S:S:S:S:S:S

Mochan

I don't have to upgrade.

iSeth

@Mochan exactly.

Flabricorn

Hey @Mochan, having some graphics problems?

iSeth

03:06

room mode changed to Gallery: anyone may enter, but only approved users can talk

room mode changed to Public: anyone may enter and talk

RolandiXor

ATI?

Mochan

Yup

iSeth

jk

RolandiXor

Dirty.

iSeth

@RolandiXor ikr

Mochan

03:07

I know. Only @jokerdino-sama got it working last time.

RolandiXor

OH NO!

@Mochan...

Mochan

?

What?

RolandiXor

Did you say .run file :(?

iSeth

FEichinger

Wine + ATI card + .run = bad

3

RolandiXor

See, these stupid graphics companies use stupid run files that ruin everything :(

Mochan

@RolandiXor Guess how I ran it, too.

FEichinger

Bad. Bad bad bad. Baaaaaaaad.

RolandiXor

03:10

I don't even remember how you nuke that stuff....

Mochan

Lolol chmod filename.run --force or similar lol...

RolandiXor

D:

FEichinger

@Mochan ... Okay, I have the solution.

Get a magnet.

Get a screwdriver.

RolandiXor

LOL

Mochan

._.

FEichinger

03:11

Remove the hard drive from the PC.

Swipe the magnet across it.

Start anew.

RolandiXor

:>

Mochan

I just got a new HDD.

FEichinger

See?

Flabricorn

@Mochan Exciting!

Mochan

I'm not fugging it up again.

RolandiXor

03:12

Did you try removing the driver using the run file?

IIRC those installers offer that option.

iSeth

yeah, reinstall will prob. be necessary.

FEichinger

That's why you dual-boot with Windows if you really need non-openGL 3D graphics

Mochan

@RolandiXor I used --force which overrided it.

I know overridded it isn't a word, btw.

@iSeth That's an option. I have only had this for about 20 minutes.

FEichinger

@mateo_salta MOAR PEEPS

Mochan

Yaaaaay. People to help me~

mateo_salta

03:14

mmmm. yumm

FEichinger

@Mochan Then just reinstall it. Dual-boot with Windows.

Mochan

I pity you.

RolandiXor

@Mochan oh well use that option :D

iSeth

yeah, and don't install it that way again

RolandiXor

Wine will run fine on your system - if you install the drivers the RIGHT way.

P.S. 12.10 would be better :)

Mochan

03:14

@FEichinger I no have Windows. When I got the hard drive back with Windows on it, I replaced it

RolandiXor

but I doubt you have 12.10 lying around or 50mbs internet like they do in Japan :)

Mochan

Say hello to the computer without Windows~ :rejoice:

2

iSeth

+1 for 12.10 being better.

FEichinger

-1 to 12.10 being better.

iSeth

@RolandiXor she lives in Australia

Mochan

03:15

I don't think I have the .iso

How big is it?

2

thatswhatshesaid

iSeth

just over 700MB

Mochan

Sorry.

FEichinger

12.04 is great. And ATI drivers generally don't want to work at all.

Mochan

LOL.

@iSeth No problem. Torrents FTW

RolandiXor

12.10 has newer drivers, so it would support your card better.

iSeth

03:16

dinner time.

FEichinger

"Lets do it here" "How big is it?" - Geeeeez, @Mochan.

2

Mochan

@iSeth o/

@FEichinger LOLLLL

RolandiXor

You could also use the X.org edgers PPA... but then you'd be mad when something goes wrong :)

@iSeth :O

@FEichinger I should have known!

It's a trap!

FEichinger

@RolandiXor Obviously.

I mean, @Mochan wouldn't seriously use a .run file like that, no? :P

That was a huge red flag, really.

Mochan

@FEichinger I'm a noob at heart. Never mistake that, FEichinger.

RolandiXor

03:18

Mochan

@RolandiXor ?

iSeth

he's talking about being a noob

Mochan

Monkey isn't a noob :((

2

Is it like :fliptable:?

iSeth

is gone for dinner

Mochan

@iSeth o/

Thanks for helpies

I still need help with installing drivers the 'right' way.

Windows 8 ad on TV. :vomit:

FEichinger

03:21

@Mochan I like the music. When the TV is muted.

Mochan

@FEichinger lol

I like to watch it when the TV is turned off.

RolandiXor

@Mochan point. less. That's the point :D

@Mochan D:

Mochan

XD

FEichinger

This is pointless

RolandiXor

:)

Mochan

09:24

Can I have some help install drivers correctly now, my family? Thankies!

iSeth

16:32

@Mochan Afraid I can't. I've been lucky and never had to use anything more than the "Additional Drivers" app.

You could try googling it though.
