[01:22] <cmaloney> Apparently Dustin Kirkland is now ex Canonical
[12:32] <cmaloney> Good morning
[14:00] <jrwren_> Yes, interesting to see Dustin Kirkland go.
[14:12] <rick_h_> yea
[14:16] <cmaloney> definitely interesting times ahead.
[15:03] <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
[15:05] <jrwren_> who runs that PPA?
[15:09] <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
[15:12] <cmaloney> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1009725/login-loop-after-upgrading-to-4-4-0-116-kernel-graphical-login-screen-black
[15:59] <cmaloney> Well that was a fun hour. :-P
[16:03] <jrwren_> what you do cmaloney ?
[16:03] <jrwren_> re: those dev tools... ugh dkms is the worst :)
[16:24] <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
[18:51] <jrwren_> oh man... so good!  http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/05/bangpatch/
