[00:38] <tomreyn> ^ please ignore
[00:38] <Unit193> Alrighty.
[00:41] <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] <Unit193> tomreyn: I was looking at that one.
[00:42] <tomreyn> oh right printk also, thanks!
[00:42]  * Unit193 will ensure the painting gets in!
[00:43] <tomreyn> :) those aren't works of arts exactly
[00:43] <dax> which ati one
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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] <dax> !-ati
[00:45] <dax> !-amd
[00:46] <tomreyn> what's ayymd?
[00:46] <tomreyn> i see https://www.reddit.com/r/AyyMD/
[00:47] <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. For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units
[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
[00:48] <dax> (and have used AMD cards for a long time)
[00:48] <dax> !-ayymd
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <dax> ubottu: forget ayymd
[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.
[00:50] <dax> !search fglrx
[00:50] <dax> !binarydriver
[00:50] <dax> !fglrxmissing
[00:50] <dax> !newfglrx
[00:50] <dax> !-newfglrx
[00:51] <dax> oh okay, past me already cleaned this up
