=== sdk_ is now known as sdk [09:37] Good morning. [12:12] Hey all [20:09] 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] but ah well, i'm sure you have the time to guide them the full way with that course of action :) [20:14] 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] by that are you talking about radeon? [20:15] daftykins: The negligent action is using an EOL release and possibly becoming a part of a botnet. [20:16] 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] daftykins: I don't know yet, I was hoping to determine that from the contents of their Xorg.0.log. [20:16] thus the advice many times over of installing 14.04 lubuntu :) [20:16] a second install was MATE on something else, but that didn't seem ideal either [20:17] well it's not going to be fglrx for that card due to legacy status afaiui [20:17] anyway, i shall hush [20:17] Using LXDE/XFCE seems like an obvious choice, but their screenshot was showing graphical corruption in a 3D house layout app. [20:20] yeah, screenshot in Mate also, probably Mint given the last comment too [20:20] that user is impossible, i give up. [20:30] i figured he was a troll when he replied to my tutorial post theit wasn't in his orbit....what? [20:30] that it [20:31] :D [20:34] also could be a langauge/communication problem, he's in Nigeria [20:38] ok time to close up shop for today.... take care gents [20:41] heh well said === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U
