For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » [22:03] I'll remember that dax [22:09] dax: maybe the nvidia/amd whole thing could do with an update and better split, including the old wiki pages [22:09] something thats needed for a long time, maybe the amd changes would be a good time to do that [22:12] wiki gives me a headache, i'll leave that to someone else [22:12] 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] yes, me too, more so when people who really don't understand it just edit it with "WFM" type comments [22:12] (and really, when was the last time someone asked about matrox :D) [22:13] 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] it's why I keep thinking we should maintain something on the ubottu site in terms of info [22:13] and i don't know ubuntu well enough to add instructions to it for amdgpu-pro, unfortunately [22:14] I'd put more effort into the docs again if it wasn't free for people to then wreck with bad info [22:14] since "get from AMD's site and compile stuff from source as needed" isn't really Ubuntu-y [22:14] there's probably a PPA somewhere, idk [22:14] I'm sure we could do something clean with the amdgpu stuff [22:14] 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 [22:15] anyways, i'll be back later, just got new storage and going to reinstall [22:16] excellent [22:16] cantstanya: I've read your links, and see no reason to change your status [22:16] oh, is he still here [22:16] k1l_ has nothing personal against you [22:16] wow rude ikonia [22:16] k1l_ has nothing personal against you [22:16] now, please leave [22:17] valorie: thanks. but that is a known troll and i am done waisting time to be part of his trolling games. [22:18] right [22:18] has 22 bantracker entries since 2014. [22:18] can someone just ban him in #ubuntu-irc [22:19] thanks k1l_ [22:34] 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 [22:35] yeah. we have a really really good german ubuntu wiki. and i never understood why the main wiki didnt increase [22:36] like this (random article) https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Festplattenstatus/ [22:37] so the german wiki is a good one then, thats interesting [22:37] * valorie gave up working on the wiki long ago [22:38] as did I [22:38] login is so chancy [22:38] and changes often are never saved properly [22:38] not worth the work [22:38] moin moin is just..... [22:38] 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. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
