| lordievader | Good morning. | 09:37 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:12 |
| daftykins | Jordan_U: mmm, by offering to help that user with their old hardware and releases too new / unapt for said hardware, it's undoing all the time i put in to point toward a sensible approach | 20:09 |
| daftykins | but ah well, i'm sure you have the time to guide them the full way with that course of action :) | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | daftykins: There is still a driver for their hardware in the latest releasea of Ubuntu, I see no reason to expect that it can't be made to work. | 20:14 |
| daftykins | by that are you talking about radeon? | 20:14 |
| Jordan_U | daftykins: The negligent action is using an EOL release and possibly becoming a part of a botnet. | 20:15 |
| daftykins | ok well to spare you some time, it seems they're trying to make use of gnome 15.10 - so that means they're trying to use 3D apps on a DE that's already too much for a probably flakey open source driver | 20:16 |
| Jordan_U | daftykins: I don't know yet, I was hoping to determine that from the contents of their Xorg.0.log. | 20:16 |
| daftykins | thus the advice many times over of installing 14.04 lubuntu :) | 20:16 |
| daftykins | a second install was MATE on something else, but that didn't seem ideal either | 20:16 |
| daftykins | well it's not going to be fglrx for that card due to legacy status afaiui | 20:17 |
| daftykins | anyway, i shall hush | 20:17 |
| Jordan_U | Using LXDE/XFCE seems like an obvious choice, but their screenshot was showing graphical corruption in a 3D house layout app. | 20:17 |
| daftykins | yeah, screenshot in Mate also, probably Mint given the last comment too | 20:20 |
| daftykins | that user is impossible, i give up. | 20:20 |
| BluesKaj | i figured he was a troll when he replied to my tutorial post theit wasn't in his orbit....what? | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | that it | 20:30 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | also could be a langauge/communication problem, he's in Nigeria | 20:34 |
| BluesKaj | ok time to close up shop for today.... take care gents | 20:38 |
| daftykins | heh well said | 20:41 |
