[01:15] <edisto> does ubuntu 15.10 beta use kernel 4.3?

[02:38] <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?
[02:49] <edisto> I am using the fglrx drivers but one of my monitors doesn't work so I'm waiting for kernel 4.3
[02:52] <krabador> snadge, you can use amdgpu inside 4.2
[03:00] <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

[03:09] <snadge> krabador, thats what im doing .. so the consensus is that fglrx is borked until we update to kernel 4.3 ?
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <snadge> will 4.3 come before release?
[03:11] <snadge> not having working catalyst drivers could be an issue for some people
[03:17] <krabador> a lot of ati cards haven't fglrx every ubuntu release

[07:38] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:04] <snadge> ok so.. i force compiled fglrx on wily with gcc 4.9 .. it works now
[09:05] <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
[09:06] <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
[09:08] <lordievader> Gpl errors by any chance?
[09:12] <snadge> i think it might have something to do with stack protection or some new feature in gcc 5.. not sure
[09:14] <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]
[09:26] <snadge> sounds familiar
[09:28] <lordievader> Because, if you read on, you see that has to do with some gpl stuff which was changed in the 4.x kernels.
[11:32] <BluesKaj> 'Morning all
[11:33] <fhf> g'day BluesKaj
[11:33] <BluesKaj> hi fhf
[14:08] <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
