| thumper | morning robert_ancell | 21:23 |
|---|---|---|
| robert_ancell | thumper, hello | 21:23 |
| thumper | robert_ancell: who knows about ATI graphics stuff... | 21:23 |
| thumper | robert_ancell: I have a friend having issues trying to install ubuntu ... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/226027 | 21:24 |
| robert_ancell | thumper, RAOF and bryceh are probably the best people to ask | 21:24 |
| thumper | I'll hit up RAOF once he starts... | 21:24 |
| RAOF | thumper: Launchpad Answers? Oldschool! | 23:39 |
| thumper | hi RAOF | 23:39 |
| thumper | RAOF: apparently someone on irc pointed him there :) | 23:40 |
| thumper | and he didn't know better | 23:40 |
| RAOF | thumper: So, there's not much to do without some form of logs. | 23:44 |
| thumper | RAOF: how can we get logs when he is left at a blank screen? | 23:44 |
| RAOF | This is a good question. | 23:45 |
| thumper | I feel bad for him because he asked me prior to buying this machine if it would work | 23:47 |
| thumper | and I said: I don't see why not | 23:47 |
| thumper | and now he is having trouble | 23:47 |
| * thumper sighs | 23:47 | |
| RAOF | Yeah. | 23:51 |
| RAOF | I also don't see why it wouldn't work. | 23:52 |
| thumper | me neither, but my understanding of graphics stack is somewhat limited | 23:55 |
| popey | thumper: can he not drop to tty and "apport-collect <bugnumber>" ? | 23:56 |
| thumper | popey: I think it is during the installer process, so no... | 23:57 |
| thumper | popey: or put another way, I have no idea | 23:57 |
| thumper | if he turns off secure-boot, he can get the live DVD working | 23:58 |
| popey | ah | 23:58 |
| popey | sorry, missed that bit | 23:58 |
| thumper | popey: np | 23:58 |
| popey | also, fun bug of the day - bug 1165927 | 23:58 |
| thumper | so the graphics card obviously works to an extent | 23:58 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1165927 in linux (nUbuntu) "List with CRITICAL tons of bugs, dont have the time to add them seperately" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1165927 | 23:58 |
| thumper | haha | 23:58 |
| popey | thumper: yeah, I have zero experience of ATI - for exactly this reason | 23:58 |
| thumper | popey: because it doesn't work? | 23:59 |
| RAOF | It's not clear whether he's tried booting normally after disabling secure boot (which should not be necessary). | 23:59 |
| thumper | RAOF: well, if he disables secure boot, he can't see his win8 partition | 23:59 |
| thumper | or more precisely, the installer doesn't recognise the win8 partition as an OS | 23:59 |
| thumper | so wants to blow it all away | 23:59 |
| RAOF | thumper: He can get the live DVD *working*? The question suggests that he gets only a blank screen? | 23:59 |
