[01:40] <n2diy> I've lost sound, I checked that nothing is muted, and the speakers work on my test box. My user.log show pulse audio calling and alsa module, which fails because it can't find  a profile.
[02:21] <MutantTurkey> n2diy: dude
[02:21] <MutantTurkey> uninstall pulse then
[02:21] <MutantTurkey> because pulse suckss
[02:21] <MutantTurkey> :-)
[02:28] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, ok.
[02:28] <MutantTurkey> no but seriously, what is the exact error?
[02:28] <MutantTurkey> I might be able to help
[02:31] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, to late, pulseaudio is gone, what now, logout, reboot?
[02:33] <MutantTurkey> give it a go
[02:33] <MutantTurkey> whats the worst that can happen?
[02:33] <MutantTurkey> also I am definitely not liable for anything
[02:57] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, didn't work, logout and back in nothing, rebooted, and now the box is pretending to be a pet rock. I have a Xubuntu alternate disk available, suggestions?
[02:59] <MutantTurkey> What what? seriously nothing happens?
[02:59] <MutantTurkey> does it still boot up correctly?
[02:59] <MutantTurkey> n2diy: number one linux rule is never reinstall
[02:59] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, no, won't boot.
[02:59] <MutantTurkey> what happens when you do?
[03:02] <MutantTurkey> n2diy: ?
[03:02] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, I may have other issues, I can't even get to cmos.
[03:05] <MutantTurkey> ...
[03:05] <MutantTurkey> yeah thats clearly unrelated
[03:05] <MutantTurkey> :x
[03:05] <MutantTurkey> did you change anything?
[03:09] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, no, all I did was a restart, and it never came back up. All it does now is flash the keyborad LEDs, and beep the speaker once, which is normal, and that's it, no CMOS screen or option, nothing.
[03:13] <MutantTurkey> we're going to have to call in level 2 support
[03:13] <MutantTurkey> jedijf: what the hell did I just do.
[03:16] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, no problem. Here's what I got, LED's flash, speaker beeps, and when I hold done the del or esc keys during boot, I get keyboard error beeps. I think the vga card or monitor crapped out on me?
[03:19] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, progress, shutoff the monitor disconnected it, turned it back on, and it's showing no signal...
[03:22] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, got a cmos screen...
[03:22] <MutantTurkey> does grub show up?
[03:23] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, no grub, single OS. I'm in a restart loop, let me finish hooking everything back up...
[03:24] <MutantTurkey> grub still exists no matter what
[03:26] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, roger that, I just don't see any options. Ok, trying to boot from the CD, then the HD, then it restarts, I"m checking my CMOS settings now, as I reset them.
[03:30] <MutantTurkey> sorry :/
[03:33] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, No problem, this is kind of fun. I DID reinstall today, but I was coming from Ubuntu  11.10, back to Xubuntu 10.10, so I had too. Anyway, I can't get cmos to play with the hard drive, but I maybe doing something wrong. It's a SATA drive, I won't see it on the IDE primary/master screen, but where else should I check?
[03:34] <MutantTurkey> that is where it should b
[03:34] <MutantTurkey> sorry I having trouble seeing
[03:34] <MutantTurkey> I cant find my eyeglasses
[03:34] <MutantTurkey> the hard drive is acting funky?
[03:35] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, ok, let go argue with it again. No, no problems with the HD, I just wanted to have a look at Ubuntu 11.10, and didn't like it.
[03:35] <MutantTurkey> well now what then?
[03:40] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, refuses to see the SATA drive. It's not hooked up to an IDE cable, why would it show up in cmos on them?
[03:41] <MutantTurkey> I  have no idea
[03:43] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, I think I need to tell cmos there is a SATA drive hooked up, but where? Maybe I should reload the system defaults?
[03:43] <MutantTurkey> I assume the cmos/bios would automagically find it
[03:43] <MutantTurkey> isn't that how it works 99% of the time?
[03:43] <MutantTurkey> someone back me up here damnit.
[03:44] <MutantTurkey> Also, The rusty nail, Ardmore, Saturday night. I am playing a gig
[03:45] <n2diy> I'm 45 minutes late walking the dog, back in 20 min.
[03:45] <MutantTurkey> :-)
[05:50] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, still around?
[05:54] <MutantTurkey> yes!
[05:54] <MutantTurkey> I am
[05:54] <MutantTurkey> whats up
[05:54] <MutantTurkey> season finale of dexter danyyum
[05:56] <MutantTurkey> n2diy: hi
[05:56] <MutantTurkey> :-)
[05:57] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, Ok, walked the dog, ran into a neighbor, who had a fight with his wife, anyway two beers later, and here I am. The box rebooted, almost like nothing happened! The log in screen geometry was AFU, but otherwise, all is normal now!
[06:05] <MutantTurkey> whut
[06:09] <MutantTurkey> n2diy: glad it worked out
[06:09] <MutantTurkey> sometimes it is best to step away and then go back to it later
[06:10] <MutantTurkey> but really I gotta kick it to bed. I am exhausted
[06:10] <n2diy> MutantTurkey, yea, that was a crazy ride, I don't think it is done with yet either. But, alls well that ends well, and I got a couple of beers to boot!
[06:12] <n2diy> And I can play .wav files now too! Send me a message with my nick, to see if xchat sound is working?
[06:45] <InHisName> hi there n2diy is this a message enough for your testing needs?
[07:12] <jackson> o/
[09:31] <n2diy> InHisName, I wasn't awake then, can we try it now?
[10:50] <rmg51> Morning
[11:29] <JonathanD> Morning.
[11:47] <rmg51> o/
[11:55] <JonathanD> Happy no wikipedia day!
[12:32] <InHisName> good morning absent Randy and JonathanD and n2
[12:33] <InHisName> Hi n2diy, I am awake now for the day.  Whenever.  I'll be in and out a lot.
[16:36] <adom> made by me: http://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/2012/1/18/0925671c-89e1-43ab-8870-136a93db2e1c.jpg
[16:42] <jedijf> ChinnoDog: a hive buddy is in dc; considering checking out hac...would you be available?
[16:45] <ChinnoDog> When?
[17:38] <jedijf> today...so tonight
[17:40] <MutantTurkey> just woke up
[17:40] <MutantTurkey> zzzzzzzzzzz
[18:23] <waltman> I thought turkeys were nocturnal.
[18:23] <waltman> I'd check wikipedia, but...
[18:24] <MutantTurkey> wikipedia is stull up
[18:24] <MutantTurkey> disable javascript
[18:24] <MutantTurkey> and you're on it
[18:24] <MutantTurkey> :-)
[18:24] <JonathanD> you're RUINING EVERYTHING.
[18:24] <JonathanD> What if the MPAA and RIAA found out about this?
[18:25] <MutantTurkey> i don't know.
[18:25] <MutantTurkey> I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYMORE
[18:25] <waltman> This is why we can't have nice things.
[18:25] <MutantTurkey> this is why they shouldnt half ass it.
[18:25] <MutantTurkey> its funny all the dumb people from my high school saying "STOP SOPA END OF THE INTERNET"
[18:25] <MutantTurkey> they dont actually understand what it means
[18:26] <JonathanD> Thats ok. let them chant that.
[18:26] <JonathanD> The politicians don't know what it means, either, and they're the ones voting on it.
[18:28] <MutantTurkey> "Don't mind me, I'm your local congressman and I'll be pissing on your constitution for the next two years."
[19:11] <rhpot1991> politicians are making it seem like its all about piracy
[19:11] <rhpot1991> same with mass media
[19:11] <MutantTurkey> it's actually not about that
[19:11]  * rhpot1991 knows, just saying
[19:11] <MutantTurkey> :-)
[19:11] <MutantTurkey> IT WILL STOP CHILD PORNOGRAPY <- every reason for all internet laws in the past 10 years
[19:11] <JonathanD> This is about great firewall of america.
[19:11] <JonathanD> That is all.
[19:11] <MutantTurkey> they need to fight online problems in the same manner as real life.
[19:12] <MutantTurkey> real life rights need to apply to digital rights
[19:12] <JonathanD> It won't stop anything but innovation and development of useful things.
[19:12] <rhpot1991> and allow those with the biggest wallets to run the interweb
[19:30] <MutantTurkey> who actually arent the big wallets anymore
[19:31] <MutantTurkey> millions more are made on the web  than the archaic music/film collective
[19:31] <JonathanD> I've seen people say that "google could buy the industry"
[19:40] <pangolin> Any snow on the ground down there?
[19:48] <MutantTurkey> there is nothing
[19:48] <MutantTurkey> NOTHING
[19:55] <InHisName> we had a bunch once in October
[20:02] <MutantTurkey> yo anyone have any ideas how to deal with video tearing on linux?
[20:02] <MutantTurkey> mplyar is killing me
[20:02] <MutantTurkey> they all are
[20:05] <adom> vlc?
[20:05] <adom> better video card?
[20:10] <MutantTurkey> intel integratedd sandybringe

[20:13] <rhpot1991> MutantTurkey: better video card
[20:13] <rhpot1991> get something that can do vdpau
[20:15] <MutantTurkey> in my laptop?
[20:15] <MutantTurkey> I shouldn't need a higher video card to play not even high quality video
[20:15] <MutantTurkey> -20 niceness solved it
[20:39] <adom> was explaining irc to a friend: "It was Twitter before text-based social networking was cool.
[20:39] <adom> IRC = Hipster Twitter.
[20:41] <Joe_SoPa> adom, to be fair, IRC was pretty cool for quite a long while
[20:42] <adom> *was*? its STILL pretty cool!
[20:43] <JonathanD> IRC > IRC
