| lordievader | cfhowlett: Was it a good day? | 09:24 |
| cfhowlett | indeed it twas! Had a nice walk from the electronics district back to work ... | 09:27 |
| lordievader | :) | 09:28 |
| lordievader | Is Akiba as fancy as they say? | 09:28 |
| cfhowlett | it's just short of incredible. you gotta see it to believe it. | 09:36 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: sorry i wake you, he might got into uefi twilight zone lol | 11:23 |
| EriC^^ | lol, np | 11:23 |
| EriC^^ | where's daftykins btw? and tj? | 11:27 |
| lotuspsychje | no clue, oerhaks dissapeared also | 11:28 |
| EriC^^ | hmm | 11:29 |
| lotuspsychje | weird stuff going on | 11:29 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 12:02 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: What card(s) is monsterjamp got ? Legacy such that no FGLRX driver is available ? | 18:48 |
| EriC^^ | Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470] | 18:52 |
| daftykins | ouch, that's a highly legacy card :) | 18:53 |
| daftykins | radeon driver only, for sure | 18:53 |
| dax | i have one sitting in a closet. works nicely with radeon | 18:53 |
| dax | although mine isn't mobility so eh | 18:54 |
| daftykins | :) | 18:54 |
| daftykins | it's probably hybrid to boot, just to make EriC^^'s day :D | 18:54 |
| daftykins | EriC^^: hi btw :D hope you're well! | 18:54 |
| EriC^^ | hi daftykins, you too! | 18:58 |
| EriC^^ | i'm pretty much over my head here | 18:59 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Kitchen chores .. yeah .. " [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470] " no FGLKRX for him . | 18:59 |
| EriC^^ | wish i knew more about the xorg problems | 18:59 |
| EriC^^ | i barely know a thing or 2 | 18:59 |
| daftykins | if in doubt purge that sucker from orbit, it's the only way to be sure :) | 18:59 |
| daftykins | EriC^^: is it a hybrid machine or is that the only adapter? which ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| EriC^^ | he's removed fglrx | 19:00 |
| EriC^^ | wily, i think it's the only adapter | 19:01 |
| EriC^^ | maybe try an older kernel? | 19:01 |
| daftykins | double check all fglrx related components got purged, i've seen even the most irrelevant package persist and prevent the radeon open source driver working | 19:02 |
| daftykins | also, sometimes we see those users with linux-image-extra missing for the running kernel - which lacks some of the components too :) | 19:03 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 19:03 |
| daftykins | so a "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" and a "dpkg -l | grep linux-" | 19:03 |
| EriC^^ | good idea | 19:03 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: The only version of the kernel for that [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470] is in release 12.04.1 .. after .1 the xserver is no longer compatible . | 19:04 |
| EriC^^ | oh, how did you find that out? | 19:05 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: F its an HD 2x/3x/4x then you are out of luck as AMD announced <last> summer that it is relegating these chipsets to legacy status and will not be developing new drivers for them. Existing restricted drivers from AMD won't work either, because they require X-server v1.12 and Ubuntu 12.10 uses X-server v1.13. | 19:06 |
| Bashing-om | That's because, starting with Ubuntu 12.04.2, the X-server version was updated to a newer version that is now incompatible with the HD 2x/3x/4x series AMD cards. | 19:06 |
| daftykins | *nod* and in fact now cards up to HD 7xxx are in the second wave of 'legacy' | 19:08 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Would you like my procedure to purge FGLRX and make sure that radeon installs correctly ? will pastebin it . | 19:09 |
| Bashing-om | Back to the kitchen .. back here soonest . | 19:11 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 19:13 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: See what ya think : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15283773/ . | 19:25 |
| EriC^^ | ok, thank you very much! | 19:27 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: U have had to resort to that procedure more than one to clean up after such a condition you are dealing with to get radeon to install ..make sure the OP removes those bad boot parameters ! | 19:29 |
| dax | line 5 is pointless, apart from that looks fine | 19:29 |
| EriC^^ | ok, i will | 19:29 |
| EriC^^ | i have a lot to learn about xorg stuff | 19:30 |
| dax | radeon's built in to the linux-image-* packages and distributed as a binary package because it's open-source, so dkms isn't used by it | 19:30 |
| daftykins | the comments convey this imo | 19:30 |
| dax | sure, but it makes about as much sense as, like, installing nethack-console there :P | 19:31 |
| Bashing-om | dax: Yeah .. maybe ... I run an old ATI card .. and DKMS is installed on my system .. as said, cheap insureance . | 19:31 |
| daftykins | dax: next you'll be arguing about cowsay being used in there! ;) | 19:32 |
| dax | excuse me cowsay is an integral part of any well-running system | 19:32 |
| daftykins | * EriC^^ supplies the instructions with the addition of: cowsay "Brought to you by Bashing-om!" | 19:32 |
| EriC^^ | lol :D | 19:33 |
| dax | one of my servers at work has "exec /usr/games/fortune | /usr/games/cowsay" in /etc/update-motd.d/99-footer | 19:33 |
| dax | with the bofh fortune package installed :3 | 19:33 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: Yall have no idea how inadaquate I often feel . When I can do, I do . | 19:33 |
| daftykins | Bashing-om: oh i hope i didn't appear rude there, i just wanted to bring a comedy angle to justified commands :D | 19:34 |
| daftykins | *justified vs. unjustified | 19:34 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: Oh no .. Took it as a compliment .. just making sure that "compliment" was not over-rated . | 19:35 |
| daftykins | ah :D | 19:35 |
| Bashing-om | chores, back on a bit . | 19:36 |
| daftykins | yip supermarket run for me, back soon \o | 19:36 |
| EriC^^ | bye | 19:38 |
| Bashing-om | OK; doggies all taken care of for the naunce. | 19:46 |
