| cantstanya | Just being thrown under the bus now huh | 22:02 |
| dax | !no, binarydriver is <reply> For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » | 22:03 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that dax | 22:03 |
| ikonia | dax: maybe the nvidia/amd whole thing could do with an update and better split, including the old wiki pages | 22:09 |
| ikonia | something thats needed for a long time, maybe the amd changes would be a good time to do that | 22:09 |
| dax | wiki gives me a headache, i'll leave that to someone else | 22:12 |
| dax | i just split off amd on the factoid side of things, if someone who knows anything about nvidia wants to do the same for them, it'd be a good idea indeed | 22:12 |
| ikonia | yes, me too, more so when people who really don't understand it just edit it with "WFM" type comments | 22:12 |
| dax | (and really, when was the last time someone asked about matrox :D) | 22:12 |
| ikonia | I'll have a ponder about this as I did a load of work on nvidia a long time ago (2009 ?) and 3 months later people had just filled it with junk and wrong info | 22:13 |
| ikonia | it's why I keep thinking we should maintain something on the ubottu site in terms of info | 22:13 |
| dax | and i don't know ubuntu well enough to add instructions to it for amdgpu-pro, unfortunately | 22:13 |
| ikonia | I'd put more effort into the docs again if it wasn't free for people to then wreck with bad info | 22:14 |
| dax | since "get from AMD's site and compile stuff from source as needed" isn't really Ubuntu-y | 22:14 |
| dax | there's probably a PPA somewhere, idk | 22:14 |
| ikonia | I'm sure we could do something clean with the amdgpu stuff | 22:14 |
| dax | honestly someone needs to make a website where you put in your graphics card and your Linux distro+version and it tells you wtf to do | 22:14 |
| dax | anyways, i'll be back later, just got new storage and going to reinstall | 22:15 |
| ikonia | excellent | 22:16 |
| valorie | cantstanya: I've read your links, and see no reason to change your status | 22:16 |
| ikonia | oh, is he still here | 22:16 |
| valorie | k1l_ has nothing personal against you | 22:16 |
| cantstanya | wow rude ikonia | 22:16 |
| valorie | k1l_ has nothing personal against you | 22:16 |
| valorie | now, please leave | 22:16 |
| k1l_ | valorie: thanks. but that is a known troll and i am done waisting time to be part of his trolling games. | 22:17 |
| valorie | right | 22:18 |
| k1l_ | has 22 bantracker entries since 2014. | 22:18 |
| ikonia | can someone just ban him in #ubuntu-irc | 22:18 |
| ikonia | thanks k1l_ | 22:19 |
| ikonia | it's sad that so many people (rightly) quote and reference the archlinux wiki to help people with ubuntu, as its so much better and better maintained than the ubuntu wikis | 22:34 |
| k1l_ | yeah. we have a really really good german ubuntu wiki. and i never understood why the main wiki didnt increase | 22:35 |
| k1l_ | like this (random article) https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Festplattenstatus/ | 22:36 |
| ikonia | so the german wiki is a good one then, thats interesting | 22:37 |
| * valorie gave up working on the wiki long ago | 22:37 | |
| ikonia | as did I | 22:38 |
| valorie | login is so chancy | 22:38 |
| valorie | and changes often are never saved properly | 22:38 |
| valorie | not worth the work | 22:38 |
| valorie | moin moin is just..... | 22:38 |
| k1l_ | yes, somehow the german linux community grouped around the ubuntuusers page and formed that wikipages. but i guess main reason was a active team maintaining that. | 22:38 |
