| Shawn|4650M | howdy | 21:45 |
| Shawn|4650M | how come I can't book from the harddrive I just installed lubuntu onto? | 21:45 |
| Shawn|4650M | its hooked up via esata | 21:45 |
| lynorian | Shawn|4650M, do you have power to the esata drive as esata is not usually powered unlike some 2.5 in usb drives? | 21:46 |
| Shawn|4650M | yes | 21:47 |
| Shawn|4650M | it installed properly, and I see the harddrive via bios setup | 21:47 |
| Shawn|4650M | its running fine | 21:47 |
| Shawn|4650M | it just didn't install a bootloader, and I can't select seperate harddrives to boot from in this dell bios | 21:47 |
| Shawn|4650M | would plop work? | 21:48 |
| lynorian | Shawn|4650M, plop won't work here as it is not USB | 21:48 |
| Shawn|4650M | eh? | 21:48 |
| lynorian | You would need something like grub | 21:48 |
| Shawn|4650M | does plop not work with sata harddrives? | 21:49 |
| Shawn|4650M | I thought iti did | 21:49 |
| Shawn|4650M | *it did | 21:49 |
| lynorian | ok yeah it might but you would need to chainload a linux bootloader to boot | 21:49 |
| lynorian | lubuntu | 21:50 |
| lynorian | which uses grub2 as default | 21:50 |
| Shawn|4650M | is there a grub 2 disk I could boot to get to the linux installed on (S6) harddrive? | 21:50 |
| lynorian | Shawn|4650M, well since this is plugged into the wall anyway will you be removing this drive and taking it to different computers | 21:51 |
| lynorian | this changes how you want grub setup | 21:51 |
| Shawn|4650M | no I wont be | 21:51 |
| Shawn|4650M | I'm just wanting to use it on this computer for a while | 21:51 |
| Shawn|4650M | as a linux drive | 21:51 |
| lynorian | You can install grub to any disk then and have it basically boot from any disk on the system | 21:52 |
| Shawn|4650M | the primary disk, an SSD is a windows7 hard disk | 21:52 |
| Shawn|4650M | if I install it over windows, would it destroy the windows partition? | 21:52 |
| lynorian | no it would not destroy the windows partition | 21:52 |
| Shawn|4650M | ah | 21:52 |
| Shawn|4650M | so I would want to install to (S6) | 21:53 |
| lynorian | Shawn|4650M, I know grub can install and then chainload the windows loader | 21:54 |
| Shawn|4650M | does rufus destroy supergrub2disk? | 21:54 |
| lynorian | I have not used rufus so I would not know | 21:55 |
| Shawn|4650M | well, I dont know what else to use | 21:55 |
| lynorian | Shawn|4650M, well it is a usb so you can just make it supergrub2disk again back on the USB | 21:56 |
| lynorian | although I know that works with dd but you need to point it at the right target | 21:57 |
| Shawn|4650M | okay | 21:57 |
| Shawn|4650M | will try | 21:57 |
| Shawn|4650M | brb | 21:57 |
| lynorian | so it can be dangerous | 21:57 |
| Shawn|4650M | ah | 21:57 |
| Shawn|4650M | itis on the right disk | 21:57 |
| Shawn|4650M | it uses dd selectively | 21:57 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | well | 22:09 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | supergrub2disk wont boot for some reason | 22:09 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I think rufus is breaking it | 22:09 |
| melodie | then don't use it | 22:09 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | is it compatible with BIOS systems? | 22:09 |
| melodie | there are many ways to reinstall grub | 22:10 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | well melodie what the heck am I going to use? | 22:10 |
| melodie | can you describe the issue you meet with and the context? | 22:10 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | the context | 22:10 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I have installed lubuntu to an esata drive | 22:10 |
| melodie | ok | 22:10 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | yes its powered and yes my bios sees it | 22:10 |
| melodie | ok | 22:11 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | it shows up as another toshiba drive with (S6) | 22:11 |
| melodie | where is installed the grub which is meant to boot to it? | 22:11 |
| melodie | on the host machine where the e-sata is attached, or on the esata drive? | 22:11 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I dont know where it installed grub if it even did | 22:11 |
| melodie | you should tell the Grub which is on the main machine to boot the e-sata drive | 22:12 |
| melodie | what os do you have on it? | 22:12 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | and how would I do that | 22:12 |
| melodie | what os do you have on it? | 22:12 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | well this is my primary drive, windows 7 64-bit on ssd | 22:12 |
| melodie | maybe the UEFI might be nice with you, is there a special menu you can prompt at the start of the computer? Such as F12 or so? | 22:13 |
| melodie | and give you the choice of the device to boot first | 22:13 |
| melodie | I'd guess your computer has UEFI and not BIOS, but anyway the idea is the same | 22:14 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I dont think this laptop has UEFI | 22:14 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | its got a bios | 22:14 |
| melodie | which brand and model? | 22:14 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | dell studio 1747 | 22:14 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | it does have F12 | 22:14 |
| melodie | ok, then let the e-sata drive attached, hit suppr, or F1 or F2, whatever takes you inside the BIOS and reconfigure the boot order preference | 22:14 |
| melodie | ok | 22:14 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I have tried it, although I can't open the harddrive selection, when I hit enter on harddrive, it wont show me whats in it | 22:14 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | already re-arranged boot order | 22:15 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | to (s6) | 22:15 |
| melodie | ok and you say F12 does not help? | 22:15 |
| melodie | I mean sometimes it takes BIOS + F12 to get it to boot to else than the main hdd | 22:15 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I can't expand the harddrive plus thing | 22:16 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | if I could I would | 22:16 |
| melodie | if you doubt Grub2 was installed correctly to your e-sata drive, you can boot again the Lubuntu which you used to install, and install it from there with the command line | 22:16 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | but space doesn't expand the harddrive portion of f12 boot manager | 22:16 |
| melodie | what about "Enter" instead of the space bar? | 22:17 |
| melodie | :) | 22:17 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I already said it doesn't help | 22:17 |
| melodie | you said "space" | 22:18 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | enter just selects boot device | 22:18 |
| melodie | not the return key | 22:18 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | before I said space I said when I hit enter | 22:18 |
| melodie | ok | 22:18 |
| melodie | so let's say you reboot to Lubuntu with the "just try" boot option, and from there you re-install grub on the e-sata using the command line | 22:18 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | when I boot from lubuntu's first harddrive option, it says boot error | 22:18 |
| melodie | you open a console, do "sudo -s", open pcmanfm file manager, mount manually the e-sata drive | 22:19 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I have no idea how to reinstall grub2 | 22:19 |
| wxl | are we sure this is not a corrupted install? were the hashes checked? | 22:19 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I have installed 3 times, the hard drive is fine, its been running in a sony laptop | 22:19 |
| melodie | Shawn|i7-Q720M read what I tell you : I am right now beginning to explain how to do that | 22:19 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I aint blind | 22:19 |
| melodie | good | 22:20 |
| wxl | so the hashes were checked? | 22:20 |
| melodie | should I continue? | 22:20 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I dont know if hashes were checked or not | 22:20 |
| wxl | then i'd suggest they weren't | 22:20 |
| wxl | you should first check the hashes of the iso | 22:20 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | okay | 22:20 |
| wxl | then when you go to boot to do the install, run the self check | 22:20 |
| wxl | one single bit of difference can lead to all sorts of weird problems | 22:21 |
| melodie | Shawn|i7-Q720M have you downloaded with your web browser, or using a special tool meant to download files? Such as uget, wget in Linux or Free Download Manager or µtorrent in Windows? | 22:21 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I ran the self check, it checks out | 22:21 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | no errors | 22:21 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I have downloaded the full 64-bit iso | 22:21 |
| melodie | are you sure your computer is able to boot from e-sata? | 22:22 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | and rufused it | 22:22 |
| wxl | with what methodology is what @melodie is asking? | 22:22 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | it should | 22:22 |
| melodie | rufus... | 22:22 |
| melodie | wxl I let you go on :) | 22:22 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | ive not had a problem with rufus | 22:22 |
| wxl | should means you have booted some system from eSATA before? | 22:23 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | not from esata | 22:23 |
| wxl | well that may be the issue | 22:23 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | o.O | 22:23 |
| wxl | you should consult your manual and ensure it CAN | 22:23 |
| wxl | there's this maxim about assumptions… | 22:23 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | It can | 22:24 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | perhaps the drive hasn't been flagged as bootable | 22:24 |
| wxl | i can't imagine that installing on eSATA would be any different than installing on any other media | 22:25 |
| wxl | well, i can, but i think that's unlikely | 22:25 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | its not | 22:25 |
| melodie | wxl it might be a BIOS side issue too | 22:25 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | I'm gonna boot from the lubuntu live session | 22:25 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | brb | 22:26 |
| wxl | that's a good idea | 22:26 |
| Shawn|i7-Q720M | and check it | 22:26 |
| wxl | toss the iso on the drive and see if you can boot it | 22:26 |
| wxl | i've seen other people have less than stellar luck with rufus | 22:26 |
| melodie | wxl he does not know how to reinstall grub from the command line, I would have done that, then check if the constructor has put out a new version of his bios | 22:26 |
| melodie | wxl I don't trust those gui tools either. :) | 22:27 |
| wxl | +1 melodie :) | 22:27 |
| wxl | dd or die! | 22:27 |
| wxl | there is ONE gui tool i trust: mkusb | 22:27 |
| melodie | I trust multiboot with Grub2 :D | 22:30 |
| melodie | I found docs which allowed me to have ISOS of Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Bento, Debian, Manjaro and a few others on a USB stick and all of them I have been able to boot using Grub2 and an adapted grub.cfg | 22:31 |
| melodie | mkusb is not really a gui... | 22:32 |
| wxl | true enough :) | 22:32 |
| melodie | it's a script which is pretty close to dd | 22:33 |
| Kamilion | oh, hey melodie. | 22:35 |
| melodie | hello Kamilion ! | 22:37 |
| melodie | I read your reply from github | 22:38 |
| melodie | I'll look forward to the next brew ! :) | 22:38 |
| Kamilion | oddly enough it looks like 14.04 lacks qt5 for python2 | 22:38 |
| melodie | how are you? | 22:38 |
| Kamilion | so either you can 'make PYTHON=python3 PYQT=5' or give 'python3 installer.py' a shot | 22:39 |
| melodie | well never mind for my needs, I kept the former versions of customizer which aren't online anymore ^^ | 22:39 |
| Kamilion | they're still online. | 22:39 |
| Kamilion | I inherited the repo, https://github.com/kamilion/customizer/releases | 22:39 |
| melodie | I haven't been able to find them, it seems the old repos all redirects to your last version available | 22:39 |
| melodie | ok I take a quick look | 22:40 |
| Kamilion | plus there's branches in the new repo | 22:40 |
| Kamilion | master, development, stable, precise | 22:40 |
| Kamilion | the installer even has a method to switch between all four (to make testing easier on me) | 22:40 |
| melodie | ok | 22:40 |
| melodie | I can't learn anything right now, it's late here and I'm in a middle of several things currently these days which aren't directly linked | 22:41 |
| Kamilion | the 'precise' branch has been untouched other than the installer added | 22:41 |
| melodie | I had to force myself to update the Bento ISOs and go post the issue on github | 22:41 |
| Kamilion | qt4 only, python2 only | 22:41 |
| melodie | Precise is way too old | 22:41 |
| melodie | and Trusty begins to be quite old too | 22:42 |
| Kamilion | no, i'm not touching it, because it works on precise still | 22:42 |
| Kamilion | so i'm leaving that branch be | 22:42 |
| melodie | it's ok, just I'll ask you just what I need. Have you seen, another person commented on my issue | 22:42 |
| melodie | Kamilion next time I'll use Customizer will be in a new install with an Ubuntu Xenial, to produce Bento Xenial versions, then I'll retry using your latest branch | 22:45 |
| melodie | Kamilion http://downloads.linuxvillage.org/?C=M;O=D :) | 22:47 |
| Kamilion | no rush | 22:49 |
| Kamilion | also, very very little of the under-the-hood scripts have changed | 22:49 |
| Kamilion | it's almost all changes to the GUI portion, and now all of the code supports running under python2 or python3, and both QT4 and QT5. | 22:50 |
| Kamilion | the only thing that changed for the under-the-hood script is if it detects an i686 iso, it will choose a different kernel name | 22:50 |
| Kamilion | linux-image-generic instead of linux-signed-generic | 22:51 |
| melodie | yes, and I finally found using the command line so simple and straightforward that it seems I don't need more (I use the remote server) | 22:51 |
| Kamilion | (and now in the most recent ones, you can read through the commits and learn how to override the kernel if neither is to your liking) | 22:51 |
| Kamilion | same here | 22:51 |
| Kamilion | https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-core/blob/master/buildscripts/xenial/build.sh | 22:52 |
| melodie | there are other things I need to learn, not related to the good changes you did in the scripts | 22:52 |
| melodie | or some are | 22:52 |
| Kamilion | yeah, package names change across releases | 22:52 |
| melodie | well, for instance, I don't know how to use the HOOK option in the config file | 22:52 |
| Kamilion | https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-core/blob/master/buildscripts/xenial/autobuild-mini.customizer.hook.sh | 22:53 |
| Kamilion | write a little script, and it gets copied into the target and executed with bash. | 22:53 |
| Kamilion | this one checks out it's own repo and runs the build scripts from it. | 22:53 |
| melodie | are you still using Lubuntu as your basis? | 22:54 |
| Kamilion | yep! | 22:54 |
| melodie | would you like to give a whirl with Bento, or with Sushi? | 22:54 |
| melodie | it's very close, lighter, just it lacks EFI | 22:55 |
| Kamilion | i doubt it's as light as my minilubuntu | 22:55 |
| melodie | well give a try to Sushi then | 22:55 |
| melodie | :) | 22:55 |
| melodie | I doubt it would be heavier | 22:55 |
| Kamilion | I already spent a lot of time removing every package and library I didn't need | 22:55 |
| Kamilion | all the video playback, gone | 22:55 |
| melodie | well don't do that, just give it a try? | 22:55 |
| melodie | http://downloads.linuxvillage.org/?C=M;O=D | 22:56 |
| melodie | look at the size? | 22:56 |
| melodie | 64bits 383M | 22:57 |
| Kamilion | yeah, my dom0 only is 144MB | 22:57 |
| melodie | what is dom0 ? | 22:57 |
| Kamilion | kamikazi is for xen, which uses dom0 as the management domain, and lots of domu guest domains | 22:57 |
| melodie | this is a special area which I am not aware | 22:58 |
| Kamilion | yeah, I doubt you'd have run into virtualization at all since you're still ten years back in the 32bit era | 22:58 |
| melodie | Sushi is meant to be easy to build a full fledge what you want, on top of a minimalist fully branded for desktops | 22:58 |
| Kamilion | but these days virtual machines are something most developers make use of | 22:59 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh hey, long time no see Kamilion o/ | 22:59 |
| Kamilion | yo, simon. | 22:59 |
| melodie | Kamilion to be true, sometimes longer ago, as I repair all kinds of oldies, and I do have a few 64bits, but I soon expect a machine with UEFI at home! See how modern I become XD | 22:59 |
| Kamilion | today people use tools like docker to compose images automatically... | 22:59 |
| Kamilion | it's even become common on raspberry pi | 23:00 |
| melodie | Kamilion good idea! | 23:00 |
| melodie | docker can be used on Rpi ? | 23:00 |
| Kamilion | https://resin.io/ | 23:00 |
| Kamilion | they ported docker to the pi back in 2013... https://resin.io/blog/docker-on-raspberry-pi/ | 23:01 |
| melodie | I'm looking : do you use this resin.io ? | 23:01 |
| Kamilion | nope. | 23:01 |
| melodie | ok | 23:01 |
| melodie | what do you use? | 23:01 |
| Kamilion | i don't use docker. | 23:01 |
| Kamilion | I use kamikazi. | 23:01 |
| melodie | do you use any Raspberry pi? | 23:01 |
| Kamilion | yes. | 23:01 |
| melodie | do you do everything with kamikazi? | 23:02 |
| Kamilion | .... pretty much :D | 23:02 |
| Kamilion | even microcontroller development | 23:02 |
| melodie | ooké ! | 23:02 |
| Kamilion | i have all the package requirements for just unzipping ESP32's compiler | 23:02 |
| Kamilion | and I put all the python packages I liked in | 23:02 |
| melodie | I'm a bit baffled, this is not my area of knowledge at all, just a pair of buddies of mine might enjoy a lot talking with you | 23:03 |
| melodie | I'll bring them in some time | 23:03 |
| melodie | ok, thanks for the discussion Kamilion ! keep on well, and see you some time! :D | 23:03 |
| Kamilion | keep in mind that I've been slowly working on the kamikazi scripts over four years though | 23:03 |
| melodie | I have to go to sleep (some graphics to do for my new flyer tomorrow and a visit to the doc for my son) | 23:04 |
| Kamilion | and the scripts are just to help me use Customizer to make builds fast | 23:04 |
| Kamilion | sleep well! | 23:04 |
| melodie | yes I know it all takes time. | 23:04 |
| melodie | thanks! good evening! | 23:04 |
| Kamilion | now I'm waiting for 17.04 beta 2 | 23:04 |
| Kamilion | so i can test all the kamikazi stuff against a similar-to-release 17.04 | 23:05 |
| * tsimonq2 throws the daily image at Kamilion | 23:05 | |
| tsimonq2 | ;) | 23:05 |
| Kamilion | already have last night's daily | 23:05 |
| tsimonq2 | \o/ | 23:06 |
| Kamilion | kamikazi doesn't like dailys though | 23:06 |
| Kamilion | since it fools around with /etc/os-release | 23:06 |
| Kamilion | it gets angry at numbers | 23:07 |
| CheetahPixie | Hello guys. | 23:09 |
| Kamilion | also, when's 14.04.6 going to show up? | 23:09 |
| CheetahPixie | So, I have an OEM install of Lubuntu running | 23:09 |
| CheetahPixie | and I wanted to finalize but | 23:09 |
| tsimonq2 | Kamilion: Very funny. :P | 23:09 |
| CheetahPixie | no shortcut on desktop for "shipping to end user" | 23:09 |
| CheetahPixie | So, how do I finalize it? | 23:09 |
| Kamilion | I'm not joking? | 23:10 |
| tsimonq2 | Kamilion: Oh, in which case, there is no 14.04.6. | 23:10 |
| Kamilion | I'm aware of that, when is it getting built? 14.04.5 was August, and it's already nearing april. | 23:12 |
| Kamilion | .4 was built in febuary '16 | 23:12 |
| Kamilion | so it should be about time for .6 | 23:12 |
| CheetahPixie | No answers? | 23:13 |
| Kamilion | CheetahPixie: I don't even know what "OEM Install" is | 23:13 |
| Kamilion | I roll my own ISOs | 23:13 |
| tsimonq2 | CheetahPixie: Ask on the lubuntu-users list. | 23:14 |
| Kamilion | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview Ah. Neat. Still references 12.04 though, and the page was last edited in 2014 by 'lorenzo567' | 23:15 |

| Kamilion | CheetahPixie: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man8/oem-config-prepare.8.html | 23:16 |
| CheetahPixie | For some reason, that wasn't installed. | 23:16 |
| Kamilion | and a bug | 23:16 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1442817 in lubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) "oem config shows ubuntu with unity slideshow for oem setup" [Undecided,New] | 23:16 |
| CheetahPixie | Well, up it goes. | 23:16 |
| Kamilion | CheetahPixie: is that enough googling yet? | 23:16 |
| CheetahPixie | I think so. | 23:17 |
| CheetahPixie | I'm staring down my HTC Wildfire booting Android 4.1 for the first time too so. | 23:17 |
| Kamilion | that was a wallclock 2 minutes of the first few results for 'lubuntu OEM install' | 23:17 |
| Kamilion | with the third result being | 23:18 |
| Kamilion | "LUbuntu OEM instalation "Prepare for Shipping to End User" missing ..." | 23:18 |
| Kamilion | CheetahPixie: are you actually doing replication for OEM disk imaging, or just installing for a friend? | 23:19 |
| CheetahPixie | Some parts for future reference, other parts so that the person I am installing for can set it up without me having to type or look at them as they set it up. | 23:20 |
| CheetahPixie | ie privacy of information. | 23:20 |
| Kamilion | ah; I work at a warehouse, so we actually have an in-house ISO we use and provide with the system instead of a preinstall | 23:21 |
| Kamilion | if you had been prepping for an OEM push, I'd have wanted to compare notes :D | 23:22 |
| Kamilion | anyway, looks like you can just open a terminal and execute 'oem-config-prepare', the shortcut icon is just missing | 23:23 |
| wxl | we have a cloned install with some scripts we can personalize as needed | 23:24 |
| wxl | s/\(can\)/\1 use to/ | 23:24 |
| Kamilion | likewise, I publish an ISO that tries hard to reapply customizations | 23:24 |
| Kamilion | https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-core/blob/master/resources/xenial/mods/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/18kamikazi_restore | 23:25 |
| Shawn196|i7 | okay, success | 23:25 |
| Kamilion | I have to do it in really early boot before systemd launches, because I'm touching things like the dbus machine ID, which systemd needs really early on. | 23:25 |
| wxl | @ShellcatZero: with what exactly? | 23:26 |
| Kamilion | haha, two-letter tab completer | 23:26 |
| wxl | bah | 23:27 |
| wxl | that's me alright | 23:27 |
| wxl | ^^ that emssage was meant for you Shawn196|i7 | 23:27 |
| Kamilion | something with grub, I expect. | 23:27 |
| Kamilion | if you still need help manually installing it, I'm around now. | 23:27 |
| Shawn196|i7 | what message wxl? | 23:28 |
| wxl | Shawn196|i7: what was successful? | 23:28 |
| Shawn196|i7 | was what successful? | 23:28 |
| Shawn196|i7 | oh, getting the linux drive to boot | 23:29 |
| wxl | ok so we know that your machine can handle booting linux from eSATA | 23:29 |
| Shawn196|i7 | indeed | 23:29 |
| Shawn196|i7 | no reason why it couldn't | 23:29 |
| wxl | remember what i said about assumptions | 23:29 |
| wxl | there's ALWAYS a reason why your assumptions are wrong | 23:30 |
| wxl | anyways, we got luck this time | 23:30 |
| wxl | so now what's the issue? | 23:30 |
| Kamilion | So did you need any more help with grub? | 23:35 |
| Shawn196|i7 | nah, I need help with finding amd's opensource drivers | 23:40 |
| wxl | don't we all | 23:41 |
| Kamilion | amdgpu? | 23:41 |
| wxl | http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/open-source/ | 23:41 |
| Kamilion | or the older radeonhd drivers? | 23:41 |
| Kamilion | https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ | 23:42 |
| CheetahPixie | Kamillion , the oem-config package was missing | 23:44 |
| Shawn196|i7 | ati mobility radeon hd 4650 | 23:44 |
| wxl | !radeon | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Open driver for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). Closed drivers: amdgpu-pro (>= GCN1.2) fglrx (older cards, unsupported by AMD in 16.04+). For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units . For fglrx info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 23:44 |
| Kamilion | radeonhd then | 23:45 |
| Shawn196|i7 | lets see if steam linux can handle it | 23:45 |
| Kamilion | should be able to. | 23:45 |
| Kamilion | i think that's an r600 generation | 23:45 |
| Shawn196|i7 | eh | 23:46 |
| Shawn196|i7 | I dont have anythign r600 | 23:46 |
| Kamilion | if you have trouble with it -- try the steamos image; it's based off debian but valve harassed AMD and nvidia to provide updated drivers. | 23:47 |
| Shawn196|i7 | nah, just installed lubuntu | 23:47 |
| Kamilion | ought to work in GL2.1 | 23:48 |
| Kamilion | won't get anything fancy like compute shaders, and newer unity games that require GL4 will flip you the bird, but for the most part, anything older should be fine. | 23:49 |
| Kamilion | but you should definitely get 3D acceleration. | 23:50 |
