CrazyLikeAFoxAnybody familiar with radeon drivers?00:42
CrazyLikeAFoxThem being broken seems to be the cause of my boot issues, and I attempted to reinstall them, and either failed at it, or just the default foss drivers aren't working00:43

diogenes_Hey guys, a theoretical question, what will happen to xubuntu if ubuntu goes away? for instance linux mint guys already have an answer, do you have one?17:48
brainwashdiogenes_: what if Xfce dies?17:51
diogenes_brainwash, then (judging by its super slow development) it's gonna be the slowest death in the history17:51
n-iCe Do you think Ubuntu will die?17:52
n-iCeIs not the most used and popular distro out there?17:53
diogenes_n-iCe, even the greatest starts in the universe die one day, but the question was not about what i think but what will happen to xubuntu then17:53
diogenes_stars*17:53
n-iCeWell, will die too17:53
n-iCeare you afraid?17:53
n-iCewill not happen any time soon17:54
n-iCediogenes_: what distro do you use?17:54
diogenes_i have different ones on different PCs17:54
diogenes_there is no a main one17:54
n-iCeoh, I just use xubuntu17:55
diogenes_n-iCe, who could have thought that Linus Torvalds will decide to leave linux over night? so you see how things happen spontaneously.17:58
ondondilBut he didn't leave Linux. He's taking a break just like he did when he created git.17:59
diogenes_this time it doesn't look like that but we'll seee18:00
diogenes_see*18:00
ondondilIn the same email in which he stated that he's taking a break, he also wrote that he still wants to continue to work on Linux.18:03
ondondilHere's quote: "This is not some kind of "I'm burnt out, I need to just go away" break.  I'm not feeling like I don't want to continue maintaining Linux. Quite the reverse.  I very much do want to continue to do this project that I've been working on for almost three decades."18:04
Wayward_VagabondAnybody have advice on reinstalling AMD radeon graphics drivers? They seem to have been broken before I upgraded to the current lts. The upgrade, and me attempting to reinstall them didn't fix it.23:09
Wayward_VagabondEither I didn't get rid of everything, or the default FOSS drivers in synpatic aren't fully compatible- I can only boot atm if I add nomodeset to the options in grub23:09
krytarikWayward_Vagabond: Please try to not employ people in multiple channels with your issue at the same time.23:11
Wayward_VagabondOp, sorry23:12
Wayward_VagabondShoulda looked at the nick lists for overlap, but actually thinking now it'd be most of them23:12
