| snadge | is anyone else using fglrx drivers in wily at the moment? | 02:38 |
| snadge | i think it might be crashing for me due to gcc 5? | 02:38 |
| edisto | I am using the fglrx drivers but one of my monitors doesn't work so I'm waiting for kernel 4.3 | 02:49 |
| krabador | snadge, you can use amdgpu inside 4.2 | 02:52 |
| edisto | what is with the Fury X support? I read it wasn't until 4.3. But then I read a contradiciting source saying it is in 4.2. But the last time I installed 4.2 latest version both my monitors didn't work | 03:00 |

| snadge | krabador, thats what im doing .. so the consensus is that fglrx is borked until we update to kernel 4.3 ? | 03:09 |
| snadge | ironically the latest fglrx does work fine if you backport it to vivid, using the exact same 4.2 kernel.. | 03:10 |
| snadge | thats what lead me to believe its a gcc 5 issue | 03:10 |
| snadge | i had to manually patch it to build with 4.9 | 03:10 |
| krabador | probably won't fix until 4.3, inside wily | 03:10 |
| snadge | i can easily test this by forcing fglrx to build with gcc 4.9 in wily.. i'll do that this evening | 03:10 |
| snadge | will 4.3 come before release? | 03:11 |
| snadge | not having working catalyst drivers could be an issue for some people | 03:11 |
| krabador | a lot of ati cards haven't fglrx every ubuntu release | 03:17 |

| lordievader | Good morning. | 07:38 |
| snadge | ok so.. i force compiled fglrx on wily with gcc 4.9 .. it works now | 09:04 |
| snadge | i made a patch for it.. not sure if its worth filing a bug on, or just bringing to someones attention | 09:05 |
| snadge | gcc 5.2.1 causes it to segfault, and not work.. for me anyway | 09:05 |
| snadge | theres already a patch to ignore the version of gcc the kernel was compiled with.. this takes it a step further i guess by forcing 4.9 | 09:06 |
| lordievader | Gpl errors by any chance? | 09:08 |
| snadge | i think it might have something to do with stack protection or some new feature in gcc 5.. not sure | 09:12 |
| lordievader | I was referring to this bug, not sure if Ubuntu has it though: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548118 | 09:14 |
| ubottu | bugs.gentoo.org bug 548118 in Unspecified "x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.1 fails to build with kernel 4.0.0 - kcl_str.o failed" [Normal,Confirmed] | 09:14 |
| snadge | sounds familiar | 09:26 |
| lordievader | Because, if you read on, you see that has to do with some gpl stuff which was changed in the 4.x kernels. | 09:28 |

| fhf | g'day BluesKaj | 11:33 |
| BluesKaj | hi fhf | 11:33 |
| snadge | hmm.. vpnc isn't setting the mtu to 1412.. but 1500.. despite 1412 being the default.. i think that's a bug | 14:08 |
| snadge | i can manually set the mtu from command line, but that's annoing | 14:08 |
