| ubottu | In #ubuntu, tomreyn said: !pinning is another option | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | ^ please ignore | 00:38 |
| Unit193 | Alrighty. | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | Unit193: but you're welcome to do the !ati further above ;-) | 00:41 |
| Unit193 | !printk is <reply> If your !tty is full of error messages, you can raise the kernel logging daemons' log level above the default of 4 (KERN_WARNING), e.g. by running "echo 7 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/kernel/printk". More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelDebuggingTricks#printk_is_your_friend | 00:41 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that, Unit193 | 00:41 |
| Unit193 | tomreyn: I was looking at that one. | 00:41 |
| tomreyn | oh right printk also, thanks! | 00:42 |
| * Unit193 will ensure the painting gets in! | 00:42 | |
| tomreyn | :) those aren't works of arts exactly | 00:43 |
| dax | which ati one | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | ati is Open source drivers for AMD/ATI graphics cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). Closed source drivers: amdgpu-pro (>= GCN1.2). For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units | 00:44 |
| dax | !ati | 00:44 |
| ubottu | Open driver for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). Closed drivers: amdgpu-pro (>= GCN1.2) fglrx (older cards, unsupported by AMD in 16.04+). For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units . For fglrx info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 00:44 |
| tomreyn | the goal was to drop fglrx here | 00:45 |
| dax | oh right, it's gone from every supported version now, thank gods | 00:45 |

| tomreyn | what's ayymd? | 00:46 |
| tomreyn | i see https://www.reddit.com/r/AyyMD/ | 00:46 |
| dax | !no, amd is <reply> Open drivers for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). AMD has a closed driver named amdgpu-pro that supports the same cards as amdgpu, but it is generally unnecessary. FGLRX is not supported in any current Ubuntu version or in this channel.

| ubottu | I'll remember that dax | 00:47 |
| Unit193 | dax tends to do factoids better than me anywho. :3 | 00:47 |
| dax | doesn't hurt that i wrote the previous version of that factoid :P | 00:47 |

| tomreyn | is "generally unnecessary" really a fact? i never tried to make it work, but at least the amd claim is that is provides some benefits for specific 'professional' use cases | 00:48 |
| dax | last i checked, the main thing it was useful for was opencl | 00:48 |
| dax | 90% of people who come into #ubuntu wanting it think it provides performance benefits for gaming, and it doesn't | 00:48 |
| dax | ubottu: forget ayymd | 00:49 |
| ubottu | I'll forget that, dax | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | true, but there i've seen some opencl users, too | 00:49 |
| dax | hence the "generally" ;) | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | okok ;) thanks for the updates, guys. | 00:49 |
| dax | !search fglrx | 00:50 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 16.04 and above do not contain AMD's proprietary "fglrx" video driver. Please use radeon or amdgpu instead (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver ). We do not recommend or support downloading fglrx from other sources; please do not ask for help with it here. | 00:50 |
