alkisgHi guys. Many schools report black screen with ryzen-based computers, on 18.04 with either xorg or xorg-hwe, but only on i386.14:22
tjaaltonbest to try #radeon14:24
alkisg(pidgin crash). Example system: 38:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Raven Ridge [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] [1002:15dd] (rev c8)14:24
alkisg        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Vega [Radeon Vega 8 Mobile] [103c:8434]        Kernel modules: amdgpu14:24
alkisgUnfortunately I have no access to any of those schools, as we're buying intels in all nearby schools14:25
alkisgSo I'm at a loss on what to do, leave it unreported as I can't give feedback, or somehow ping someone that has such a system to test...14:25
alkisgI waited for 3-4 months in case I had access somewhere, but... no :/14:25
alkisgThank you tjaalton, I'll try on #radeon14:26
tjaaltonthough it sounds like you have a solution already.. ;)14:29
alkisgTo ditch 32bit? Fortunately we got new PCs, so from September, 90% of the schools will be on 20.04 64bit, yey!14:30
JanCany Ryzen can't be old...14:32
alkisgWe use a system where all PCs get the same image, so if they have some pentium4's, then all images are 32 bit (its' called ltsp.org)14:33
JanCmight be useful if you could make the image depend on the hardware it seems...14:36
JanCor make a dual boot image that detects the hardware & boots the right one...  ;)14:37
