Re: [Scilab-users] New computer, graphics(?) crashes

2015-06-03 Thread Tim Wescott
I just installed Xubuntu, 14.04, 64 bit.  Even without the fglrx
drivers, it's faster and it doesn't seem to crash (at least, it's 570
seconds into a simulation, with tons of updates to the monitor graph,
without problem).

Thank you all.

 For me it seems that you need to use proprietary AMD drivers - fglrx.
 Open drivers are buggy and show low-performance.
 
 If you want to use open driver on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) you
 should upgrade its HWE to 14.04 LTS (trusty).
 
 With best regards,
 Nikolay.

 Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS i386:

 OpenGL vendor string: X.Org

 $ lsmod | grep drm

 Your command works normally

 Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS i386:

 $ lsmod | grep drm

 So I have no problems with A4-4000 APU.
 What exact laptop model do have?
 I understood about AMD A10. But may be there is a discrete (hybrid) card
 too?

 For what it's worth, in Lubuntu the full fglrx packages causes immediate
 crashes, while uninstalling all fgrlx-related stuff except for fgrlx-core
 makes it last a while before it dies.

 Also, this computer was a rush job to replace my rather old previous

 Getting a cheap videocard with decent drivers might be the easiest
 way to solve your problem.
 You might try to ask other Linux users what card they have and

Re: [Scilab-users] New computer, graphics(?) crashes

Could you try to reinstall package containing missed
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/egl/egl_gallium.so with

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libegl1-mesa-drivers
?

Did you try to install scilab 5.3.3 from ubuntu repositories (sudo apt-get
install scilab)? Does it work?
Manual unpacking 5.5.1 to /usr/local may cause missed system dependencies.
On my ubuntu I have many scilab versions - 5.3.3 from repository and newer
versions (unpacked to ~/Software with custom  launchers on desktop).

Re: [Scilab-users] New computer, graphics(?) crashes

2015-05-28 Thread tim
For what it's worth, in Lubuntu the full fglrx packages causes immediate 
crashes, while uninstalling all fgrlx-related stuff except for 
fgrlx-core makes it last a while before it dies.


Also, this computer was a rush job to replace my rather old previous 
machine which died Monday morning, and all I did to install the OS was 
to use the old hard drive.  As a consequence, the new machine is running 
in 32-bit mode, not 64.  I'm not sure how mature the 64-bit stuff is, or 
how neglected the 32-bit stuff may be at this point.

Dear guys!

I'll test Scilab on AMD A4-4000 today with Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and
14.04.2 LTS and report back.

On my laptops I successfully use Scilab 5.x on Intel HD graphics (open
drivers) and old Nvidia (GTX6xx, GT425, 9600GT both with proprietary
drivers).

Yep, first thing to do.
And keep on digging on the videocard driver side if you still have
troubles.
Scilab tends to be a good way to detect buggy video drivers!
Getting a cheap videocard with decent drivers might be the easiest
way to solve your problem.
You might try to ask other Linux users what card they have and
whether they get graphics related crashes.

 For me it seems that you need to use proprietary AMD drivers -

fglrx.

 Open drivers are buggy and show low-performance.

 If you want to use open driver on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise)

you

 should upgrade its HWE to 14.04 LTS (trusty).

 With best regards,
