cmaloney | Good morning | 12:32 |
jrwren_ | Yes, interesting to see Dustin Kirkland go. | 14:00 |
rick_h_ | yea | 14:12 |
cmaloney | definitely interesting times ahead. | 14:16 |
cmaloney | I'm slightly ticked that the ubuntu toolchain test PPA doesn't appear to have been updated since spectre / meltdown | 15:03 |
cmaloney | since it seems that any driver compiled with them is blacklisted by the kernel | 15:03 |
jrwren_ | who runs that PPA? | 15:05 |
cmaloney | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/1750937 | 15:09 |
cmaloney | apparently someone who thinks that Bionic is the only release worth updating | 15:09 |
cmaloney | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1009725/login-loop-after-upgrading-to-4-4-0-116-kernel-graphical-login-screen-black | 15:12 |
cmaloney | Well that was a fun hour. :-P | 15:59 |
jrwren_ | what you do cmaloney ? | 16:03 |
jrwren_ | re: those dev tools... ugh dkms is the worst :) | 16:03 |
cmaloney | I reverted the ppa using ppa-purge | 16:24 |
cmaloney | and reinstalled the kernel / nvidia drivers | 16:24 |
cmaloney | honestly if AMD / ATI has better drivers than nvidia that would get me to switch back in a heartbeat | 16:24 |
jrwren_ | oh man... so good! http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/05/bangpatch/ | 18:51 |
