[09:37] <lordievader> Good morning.
[12:12] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[20:09] <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 :)
[20:14] <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?
[20:15] <Jordan_U> daftykins: The negligent action is using an EOL release and possibly becoming a part of a botnet.
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <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.
[20:20] <daftykins> yeah, screenshot in Mate also, probably Mint given the last comment too
[20:20] <daftykins> that user is impossible, i give up.
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <daftykins> :D
[20:34] <BluesKaj> also could be a langauge/communication problem, he's in Nigeria
[20:38] <BluesKaj> ok time to close up shop for today.... take care gents
[20:41] <daftykins> heh well said
