[04:57] <tjaalton> tomreyn: via linux-firmware upstream
[10:46] <tomreyn> tjaalton: yes, just upstream. i was working with someone in #ubuntu+1 yesterday who had a Radeon VII, which failed https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RntsGxtNDS/ on anything including 5.0 until they installed vega20_sos.bin from upstream
[10:48] <tomreyn> oh i get it now, your point is that those firmwares aren't in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git yet, which is upstream for ubuntu's packages
[10:48] <tjaalton> tomreyn: yes
[10:52] <tomreyn> ok, i'm not sure how they get there, but asked in #amdgpu
[10:53] <tomreyn> either way, it's probably too late for 18.04.2?
[10:54] <tjaalton> yes
[10:58] <tomreyn> a pity. thanks for your feedback.
[10:59] <tjaalton> there's no driver support anyway
[11:01] <tomreyn> oh 4.20+ only, i see
[18:04] <mamarley> I have a user complaining about how the graphics drivers PPA version of 380.87 for Bionic will not install while the HWE Xorg packages are installed because the NVIDIA package depends on xserver-xorg-core and not xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04.  I was going to add an "or" to the dependency so either one would work, but then I looked at the official package of 390.77 and saw that it doesn't seem to be installable while the HWE packages are installed
[18:04] <mamarley>  either.  Is that correct?  What should be done about this?
[18:16] <alkisg> tjaalton: why again "verification-needed-bionic"? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1815172
[19:32] <tjaalton> alkisg: yeah, don't worry about it
[19:32] <tjaalton> couldn't be avoided
[20:02] <bad-player> Just a noob trying to figure out which PPA is best for mesa updates on Ubuntu 18.04.  is the X PPA planned for the forseaable future? Looking for stable but updated
[20:10] <bad-player> OpenGL version string: 4.4 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 18.2.0-rc3
[20:58] <alkisg> tjaalton: ah ok so no need for me to test, ty
