| lifeless | who was it that has trouble getting operating-system-less hp's ? | 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| lifeless | http://www.canonical.com/content/ubuntu-1204-lts-server-be-certified-supported-hp-proliant-systems may interest them | 00:38 |
| ojwb | wasn't the issue getting the in NZ? | 00:41 |
| ojwb | ibeardslee had managed to get ascent to do some models on request, at least at one point | 00:41 |
| lifeless | ah yes ibeardslee | 00:42 |
| lifeless | so, nz/worldwide, not so different :P | 00:42 |
| ojwb | i may have misunderstood, but I thought it was already possible to get them without windows elsewhere more easily | 00:43 |
| ojwb | at least for some values of elsewhere | 00:43 |
| ojwb | i've not been totally impressed with the linux support for the hardware on my hp laptop TBH | 00:43 |
| ojwb | the wifi card crashes the kernel fairly quickly, at least in 64 bit mode | 00:44 |
| lifeless | ojwb: preinstalled linux, or after-purchase install ? | 00:47 |
| lifeless | I ask, because the ubuntu certified stuff usually has had those bugs ironed out during the certification process | 00:47 |
| lifeless | (and the fixes rolled into the next Ubuntu release) | 00:47 |
| ojwb | well, this one I bought with windows sadly. as I needed a machine quickly | 00:54 |
| ojwb | but bdale says hp are meant to test with linux internally, so I was kind of surprised | 00:54 |
| ojwb | a friend in the UK has the same model, but it has a different wifi chipset and works fine | 00:54 |
| ojwb | i wonder if the issue is that the driver is fine with a 32 bit kernel | 00:55 |

| ojwb | oh, and it came with a USB DVB-T stick, which sometimes fails to initialise for a recording, but maybe that's a mythtv issue | 01:07 |
| hads | mythtv does have issues. | 01:08 |
| ojwb | hads: ideas welcome - the log just says something like "failed to initialise" which isn't much help | 01:08 |
| hads | No ideas sorry, I just know it has issues :) | 01:09 |
| ojwb | i'm going to update to precise soonish, and I might try to debug a big harder then | 01:10 |
| ojwb | s/big/bit | 01:10 |
| ojwb | olly: enjoy your trip? | 01:10 |
| ibeardslee | lifeless: getting the proliant servers etc without Windows is easy | 02:20 |
| ibeardslee | most servers go that way | 02:20 |
| ibeardslee | the workstations and laptops is the hard thing to get sorted | 02:21 |
