[14:22] <alkisg> Hi guys. Many schools report black screen with ryzen-based computers, on 18.04 with either xorg or xorg-hwe, but only on i386.
[14:24] <tjaalton> best to try #radeon
[14:24] <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: amdgpu
[14:25] <alkisg> Unfortunately I have no access to any of those schools, as we're buying intels in all nearby schools
[14:25] <alkisg> So 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] <alkisg> I waited for 3-4 months in case I had access somewhere, but... no :/
[14:26] <alkisg> Thank you tjaalton, I'll try on #radeon
[14:29] <tjaalton> though it sounds like you have a solution already.. ;)
[14:30] <alkisg> To ditch 32bit? Fortunately we got new PCs, so from September, 90% of the schools will be on 20.04 64bit, yey!
[14:32] <JanC> any Ryzen can't be old...
[14:33] <alkisg> We 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)
[14:36] <JanC> might be useful if you could make the image depend on the hardware it seems...
[14:37] <JanC> or make a dual boot image that detects the hardware & boots the right one...  ;)
