k0odaHey guys16:18
amy665so is using the last lts release still safe , if using backports to upgrade everything?18:45
amy665I'm not interested in having to back everything up for a full reinstall atm18:45
amy665i'm referring to 16.0418:47
amy665lts18:47
IrcsomeBot<speedyjp2gmd> Latest LTS is 18.04 version19:02
amy665i know that , but I have heard trying to do a distro upgrade has a high likelyhood of messing up19:03
amy665so I'm assuming i'd have to back everything up and then reinstall19:03
amy665which I don't want to do atm19:03
amy665this is an older computer , but its my work-horse of sorts , settings wallpapers , programs ect.19:05
amy665don't have an entire day to spend here soon to do that19:06
amy665Well i'll check back later this weekend maybe somebody will be around then.19:21

valoriein which case you might have to do "nomodeset"21:34
valorie!nomodeset21:34
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter21:34
