daftykinspauljw: enjoy!14:00
BluesKajpanic even14:01
BluesKajassume it could be any number of things going wrong14:02
EriC^^hey daftykins BluesKaj14:02

BluesKajyup14:35
Cat_tech3hi guys14:55
daftykinslo14:59
Cat_tech3i have difficulty trying to determine where i should ask this15:00
Cat_tech3but i am trying to build a new system with an amd ryzen 7 cpu and would like to have ubuntu on it15:00
Cat_tech3it has a 1050 ti gpu15:00
daftykinsso, what's the problem? things haven't *really* been smoothed out for Linux on most motherboards yet15:01
Cat_tech3i have both seen amd ryzen 7 linux systems15:02
Cat_tech3and 1050 ti i assume has better driver support15:02
Cat_tech3for linux15:02
daftykinsthan what o015:04
daftykinsi'd definitely always go nvidia15:04
Cat_tech3would this support ubuntu you think?15:05
Cat_tech3the cpu+gpu combi15:06
daftykinslike i said Ryzen isn't ace on Linux yet, bit early15:09
Cat_tech3:(15:10
oerheksryzen works from kernel 4.10 and up, and that budget 1050 should work fine too15:11
BluesKajI have seen some users who had success wih ubuntu on the ryzen cpu..forgot which graphics they came with... presumably amd gpus15:11
daftykinsthere are still some motherboards that go wildly bad on it, heard of MSI and gigabyte ones being odd15:12
BluesKajMSI is junk IME , on any OS15:12
daftykinsyipyip15:13
Cat_tech3GIGABYTE Aorus GA­AX370­Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0),15:13
Cat_tech3this is the mobo i wanted to go with it15:13
Cat_tech3but i see your note on being troublesome15:13
BluesKajin Canada they're distributed by what seems like the russian mafia15:13
daftykinsBluesKaj: XD15:14
Cat_tech3found this reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6247wx/ubuntu_has_issues_installing_to_gigabyte_ryzen/15:14
daftykinspicture might be a bit brighter come October when 17.10 will be out, assuming you'd risk non-LTS at all15:17
Cat_tech3is debian any better>\15:19
Cat_tech3?15:19
daftykinsno it's all about the Linux kernel15:19
daftykinsit's a platform issue :)15:19
oerheksso none of us here have ryzen?15:20
daftykinsnah15:22
Cat_tech3we need a tester15:25
daftykinshmm? i already said i've seen folks with issues15:25
Cat_tech3someone just noted that switching to slower ram fixed the issue15:25
daftykinsAMD only just pushed out a huge important BIOS update for manufacturer's to integrate into their motherboards15:25
Cat_tech3ryzen 7 has a ram speed maximum15:25
daftykinseverything has a maximum :P it got tweaked with the update i mention15:25
Cat_tech3yes but there was an article about a mobo update from AMD15:26
Cat_tech3that raised the maximum ram speed compatibility for the cpu15:26
Cat_tech3was at 3200 max normally15:26
Cat_tech3and i just read about the ryzen 7 x370 mobo + linux issue being solved by someone using slower ram (2400)15:27
daftykinsthat's what i just said XD15:27
daftykinsand that makes no sense, slowing RAM for an OS15:28
daftykinsanyway, i've always been against Gigabyte :)15:28
Cat_tech3who knows why it works for him, i can think of one possibility15:28
Cat_tech3he tested it with 17.04 btw15:29
Cat_tech3it has the linux 4.10 kernel15:32
Cat_tech3https://superuser.com/questions/1189362/ryzen-7-unable-to-install-ubuntu-or-debian15:33
daftykinslike i said, October'd be a better goal15:33
Cat_tech3the guys who claims that he fixed the issue15:33
Cat_tech3i know, but i am willing to help people that are stuck already15:33
daftykinsi've not heard any issues with install, just panics and instability15:34
Cat_tech3i have read multiple people with installation issues15:34
daftykinsright, but dated when... :)15:35
Cat_tech3so a shout out to anybody in this room with a ryzen 7 or who knows somebody who does, please bring him/her in15:35
Cat_tech3or relay to test it with the 4.10 kernel and slower ram 2400   , to see if it fixes something15:36
immuBluesKaj, hi15:45
Cat_tech3does anyone know a different channel, where we might have luck finding someone15:47
immufor what?16:07
baizonCat_tech3: i got a ryzen 5 and kernel 4.1116:08

Cat_tech3did you compile the kernel yourself?16:12
baizonCat_tech3: nope16:12
Cat_tech3very handy information baizon16:13
Cat_tech3i am thrilled to know the same distro, how it will perform on a ryzen 7 cpu16:13
Cat_tech3and funny you use 2400 ram :D16:13
Cat_tech3which fixed it for that guy with his ryzen 7 issues16:14
Cat_tech3might be a fix for the whole ryzen platform on linux16:14
Cat_tech34.10+ kernel and 2400 mhz ram16:14
baizonwell i did check the compatibility list, and also had to upgrade my bios first16:15
baizonwith no upgrade i had very strange numbers with my cpu16:16
Cat_tech3to the latest version?16:16
Cat_tech3which bios version did you flash it to16:19
baizonCat_tech3: from F1 to F416:25
Cat_tech3are there any specific things you changed in the bios?16:27
baizonCat_tech3: nope16:32
Cat_tech3thank you very much for this info16:32
Cat_tech3now we need someone with a ryzen 7 to test it :D16:37
Cat_tech3baizon, when you said it gave you freaky numbers17:10
Cat_tech3what kind17:10
baizontemp17:10
baizonfor exmaple17:10
baizonit was at 70°C, but after the bios upgrade it was as smooth 32°C17:10
Cat_tech3yes there was an issue with +20 difference sensor reporting17:11
Cat_tech3have you checked dmesg output for any errors?17:11
Cat_tech3after the fix17:11
baizonCat_tech3: only this AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=09:00.0 domain=0x0003 address=0x000000f40040d600 flags=0x0010]17:13
Cat_tech3baizon: https://askubuntu.com/questions/805008/errors-showing-while-booting-16-04-amd-vi-event-logged-io-page-fault17:14

immuhttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-Compiler-Issues17:52
Cat_tech3yes that's another issue17:52
Cat_tech3but a lot of people can't even boot  or run there system for a couple of hours17:52
immudid you try a upstream kernel17:55
Cat_tech3it's not me that is having the issue18:00
Cat_tech3i don't have a ryzen cpu18:01
Cat_tech3altho i am in the process of ordering a new machine with one18:01
Cat_tech3but this sortof stops me doing it18:01
immuBluesKaj, hi18:59
BluesKajhi immu19:00

daftykinsXD19:23
Cat_tech35820K 6 core 12 threads19:23
Cat_tech3should run linux good enough19:23
daftykinsthat's a very poor choice to make at this point19:23
daftykinsgotta run, laters19:24
BluesKajCat_tech3, probly better off with i3,i5, or i7 cpu19:24
Cat_tech3the 5820K is i719:25
Cat_tech3why is that a poor choice?19:25
BluesKajdunno what daftykins meant by that comment19:26
Cat_tech3it's either that or the i7 6800K 6core 12 threads19:28
