[11:45] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:46] <penguin42> Hey BK
[11:48] <BluesKaj> hi penguin42
[13:32] <ewoirhweurhuhrwe> What are the benefits of getting an abortion?
[13:38] <ewoirhweurhuhrwe> !ops
[15:36] <PatrickDickey> Quick question. Is there going to be support for the ATI Radeon HD 8830 out of box in Trusty?
[15:53] <BluesKaj> PatrickDickey. i imagine there will be proprietary drivers listed in the repos,  the ATI site shows Linux drivers available for the ATI Radeon HD 8830
[15:55] <PatrickDickey> Thanks BluesKaj. Right now my issue is that I can't even get the Live DVD (for Saucy) to boot on my laptop. Either with UEFI enabled, or with CSM (Legacy BIOS enabled). I can get other DVD's to boot in CSM Mode, so I'm guessing it's the graphics driver. But, I'm not sure either way.
[16:01] <BluesKaj> PatrickDickey. , i had a HW recognition problem with Ubiquity a while back , so I installed the previous OS version, and did a do-release-upgrade to newest ...that bug in Ubiquity might still be lurking
[16:02] <BluesKaj> PatrickDickey. your symptoms seem to very similar to my experience above
[16:02] <BluesKaj> seem to be
[16:02] <PatrickDickey> So, you're saying I should try 12.04 or 13.04, and then upgrade?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> PatrickDickey. were you able to install 13.10 ?
[16:04] <PatrickDickey> Nope. It won't even boot the Live DVD.
[16:04] <BluesKaj> I'm assuming you want to install 14.04
[16:04] <BluesKaj> ok 13.04 perhaps ? :)
[16:05] <PatrickDickey> Well eventually. I'm trying to install 13.10 right now. One of the google results hinted at the card not being supported yet. That's why I figured I'd ask about the support in Trusty.
[16:06] <PatrickDickey> I've got a Lubuntu DVD around here that I know is good. I'll try it. Just on the off-chance that it's my DVD.
[16:07] <BluesKaj> yeah , that UEFI  has become a problem , I'm not looking forward to installing Kubuntu on the new lenovo laptop I'll be receiving in a few days ...it uses intel for most HW including graphics
[16:09] <BluesKaj> PatrickDickey. yeah that sounds like it might work and then you can add whichever desktop you want to it
[16:10] <PatrickDickey> I'll try it later. Thanks for your help and suggestions. :)
