[12:28] <user|78> Kubuntu 21.10: Failed to start Ubuntu live CD installer. Again like 2 months ago on another PC. Why the f*ck are these 21.XX versions such a bullshit!? Unbeliveable....
[12:30] <Maik> user|78: stick to LTS releases then if the interim releases are that bad....
[12:34] <user|78> Yes, I did last time. But why??? What should I think about the OS if its such a big problem to even install it. Last time it was older dell PC, but today its brand new AMD 5600X and installer also failed.... Is it not tested at all before release? Or dont know what should I think about it.
[12:35] <oerheks> AMD 5600X  with what gpu?
[12:39] <user|78> Radeon HD7870XT
[12:40] <oerheks> Try kernel parameters "nomodeset" or "radeon.modeset=0"

[12:40] <oerheks> read the whole post .. also check for a mobo bios update
[12:51] <user|78> Thanks for topic. But the question remains: How linux (and kubuntu) want to be widely adopted if there are these problems on the very beggining? A lot of users just gave it up ...
[12:52] <oerheks> it just takes time to figure things out
[12:53] <oerheks> i did not expect that old 7870 being a troublemaker
[13:02] <user|78> The PC is brand new, only GPU was used from old one, because of todays funny prices of GPUs ....
[13:03] <user|78> But I've seen Dell PC and there is a HD8670 ... and completely same issue 2 months ago.
[13:04] <oerheks> did you install it properly, it needs an extra power line
[13:04] <oerheks> HD8670 should work fine, afaik
[13:04] <user|78> yes, 2x6 PIN
[13:23] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
