Ctrl A switches instances I think
 
IanC
IanC
no, I mean the shortcuts to go to virtual terminals, and then back to GUI
sorry, called them VTs and I'm not even sure people call them that way haha
what the hell
my virtual terminals are not working O.O

Q: Why does switching to the tty give me a blank screen?

SeanOAfter booting to the GUI in 12.04, I attempt to move to the virtual terminal (or shell, or tty) via Ctrl-Alt-F1 (F1 through F6), and the screen remains blank. I'm tried all 6 tty instances and the results are the same. Ctrl-alt-F7 brings me back to the GUI without a problem. Any thoughts?

command-line tty
maybe resolution issue, I'll try it later to see if it works

@JamesTobin "gaming computers" is sort of a... restricted term.
Meaning, they have a dedicated graphics card of some sort -- typically ATI/Nvidia
 
James Tobin
James Tobin
oh?
 
Kaz Wolfe
Kaz Wolfe
@DavidCole-GrammarPolice with?
 
David Cole - Grammar Police
David Cole - Grammar Police
When I boot I get stopping user manager for uid 120
 
Kaz Wolfe
Kaz Wolfe
yeah. even with a good processor, games are often bottlenecked by the graphics card. If a PC does't have a graphics card, or has an Intel on-chip card, it's not really meant for heavy gaming
 
James Tobin
James Tobin
they do have dedicated graphics cards inside
the Dell has AMD graphics
 
Kaz Wolfe
Kaz Wolfe
12:20 AM
you should add those to the listing then.
 
James Tobin

the acer has intel graphics
 
Kaz Wolfe

those specs are very important to someone buying a gaming computer
that, and linux does get viruses occasionally. Very rare, but it can happen.
@DavidCole-GrammarPolice That's normal.
 
David Cole - Grammar Police

But the boot stops there

This is AMD's issue

"Canonical will not be supporting the fglrx/Catalyst Linux driver in their archive beginning with Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus."
 
Zacharee1
Zacharee1
12:52 AM
@DavidCole-GrammarPolice maybe read up on it. They said that because they were unwilling to create their own driver for AMD
because that's AMD's job
 
David Cole - Grammar Police
David Cole - Grammar Police
But Nvidia, suuure
Cause why give a fuck about AMD
 
Zacharee1
Zacharee1
and if Canonical made a driver, it would have to be supported for 5 years, even if AMD made one
@DavidCole-GrammarPolice Listen to me very carefully: This is NOT Canonical's fault
This is the fault of the Xorg dev team
Please calm down
 
David Cole - Grammar Police
David Cole - Grammar Police
I don't care who's fault it is. I honestly can't be bothered to fix something every goddamn minute when I'm using Ubuntu, one thing or another, this shit is ALWAYS broken

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice It works fine for me. This is an issue you need to take up with AMD

David Cole - Grammar Police

THANKS THAT'S SO HELPFUL
Who doesn't have a spare graphics card lying around?
Oh right
EVERYONE
 
Zacharee1
Zacharee1
@DavidCole-GrammarPolice OK, what is your problem? That is the situation. I'm almost certain I told you that AMD would not work on 16.04. You should also know that upgrades never work well if you have modified system files

@Seth Canonical didn't even drop support. Xorg did. It's every Linux version that uses Xorg.

@DavidCole Amd is hard at working on making it compatible with 16.04 but it takes time.
 
Zacharee1
Zacharee1
12:57 AM
Unfortunately, the timing of support droppage was a little unfortunate, since 16.04 is LTS
@WildMan AMD has made AMDGPU-PRO, which works on cards maybe 8 months and newer
 
Seth

Hi @WildMan!

If I do recall Seth told me 16.04 would work. And I've told you my problem. The driver isn't loading my main monitor, so any control I had over my installation is gone, and everything is off screen, Terminal opens on second monitor, so does anything else, and I CAN'T FIX IT WHEN THERE'S NO DAMN COMPATIBLE DRIVER EDWIN
 
Zacharee1

@Seth I think there's a CM14 build out there for the 5X, but it's buggy as hell

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice if what @WildMan is saying is true, then I think there will be support coming
@WildMan what about them dropping support for 2 year old cards about a year ago?
 
David Cole - Grammar Police

Not for cards as old as mine

Ugh what does that even mean
I'm so done with this
This OS is so high maintenance
See I joke about users going back to Windows but after the shit Canonical calls an OS made me spend 5 hours without a single warning or error then did this, I can see why they do

create a partition for your stuff with gparted, and don't format it on the reinstall

depends on the city
on the one I used to live it was 110, on the one I'm living now it is 220

@JourneymanGeek Seasonics are good, though I tend to need more power with workstation machines and the builds I do. Bought a lot of 5x Seasonic SS-650HT, which helped for the dual Xeon builds I had recently.
and will be powering my next workstation build too

@edwinksl airpods with only 5hr battery life?
better off getting the iPhone 7 and a pair of Jaybird bluebuds
