cmaloneyI'm slightly ticked that the ubuntu toolchain test PPA doesn't appear to have been updated since spectre / meltdown15:03
cmaloneysince it seems that any driver compiled with them is blacklisted by the kernel15:03
jrwren_who runs that PPA?15:05
cmaloneyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/175093715:09
cmaloneyapparently someone who thinks that Bionic is the only release worth updating15:09

cmaloneyWell that was a fun hour. :-P15:59
jrwren_what you do cmaloney ?16:03
jrwren_re: those dev tools... ugh dkms is the worst :)16:03
cmaloneyI reverted the ppa using ppa-purge16:24
cmaloneyand reinstalled the kernel / nvidia drivers16:24
cmaloneyhonestly if AMD / ATI has better drivers than nvidia that would get me to switch back in a heartbeat16:24
