| jk- | ogasawara: I've just registered hardware-q-defensive-software; is there any magic I need to do to get it scheduled? | 02:36 |
|---|---|---|
| snadge | ive tried googling for this.. and i can only seem to find idiot responses so i thought i'd ask in here | 03:21 |
| snadge | i have a pc with 4GB ram total.. and am running 12.04 64bit on it | 03:21 |
| ohsix | it depends on the chipset | 03:21 |
| snadge | MemTotal: 3044928 kB | 03:21 |
| ohsix | (/me waits for rest of question to see if he's right) | 03:21 |
| snadge | i have checked the onboard graphics settings.. and regardless of what i set it to.. i still have that memtotal | 03:22 |
| ohsix | right, some is reserved for pci devices, you need to flip an option in your bios if you can | 03:22 |
| snadge | i dont have any pci devices.. and my bios is retarded | 03:22 |
| ohsix | only devices that can do a dual address cycle can be moved out of the lower 4g of physical memory, and that is not all of them | 03:22 |
| snadge | its an intel motherboard | 03:22 |
| ohsix | all your devices are pci ... some of them, like a gpu have rather large pci areas | 03:23 |
| snadge | perhaps i need to buy a dedicated graphics card to free up the 1GB? | 03:23 |
| snadge | theres no options in the bios relating to reserving memory for pci devices | 03:23 |
| ohsix | the option in your bios may even be called something like "Installed OS:" and the choice is Windows or Other | 03:23 |
| snadge | i can only change the apeture size.. and something called dvt | 03:23 |
| snadge | so i have set them both to the lowest value of 128mb | 03:24 |
| ogasawara | jk-: looks like it's already approved for uds-q so it should be getting auto-scheduled | 03:24 |
| jk- | ogasawara: awesome, thanks. | 03:24 |
| ogasawara | jk-: lemme know if you want me to try and lock it down to a specific date, time, or room | 03:24 |
| ohsix | without EFI you are left with what the bios lets you do, my pc at home doesn't let me do anything, so i'm in the same situation you are :] | 03:24 |
| snadge | i dont remember seeing an installed os option | 03:24 |
| snadge | there is a UEFI option though | 03:24 |
| snadge | which is disabled | 03:24 |
| ohsix | snadge: what chipset/board is it? some boards deliberately don't allow it | 03:24 |
| jk- | ogasawara: no, should be fine being dynamic. | 03:25 |
| snadge | DG43NB | 03:25 |
| snadge | i think is the motherboard | 03:25 |
| ohsix | snadge: see if that matches cat /sys/class/dmi/id/board_name | 03:26 |
| snadge | yes | 03:26 |
| snadge | Version: AAE34877-405 (from dmidecode) | 03:27 |
| snadge | looks completely different to the version number that intel offers on their site | 03:27 |
| snadge | dated 12th jan 2011 | 03:27 |
| snadge | NBG4310H.86A | 03:28 |
| snadge | ahh yes thats the one im running by the looks of it | 03:28 |
| snadge | although it says 0107 and im apparently running 0096.2009.0903.1845 | 03:30 |
| snadge | which appears to be older | 03:30 |
| ohsix | you may have to use the uefi boot to get the devices to move ... even then some might not have DAC | 03:32 |
| ohsix | hah there's a bios setting for on board skull backlighting, wicked | 03:32 |
| snadge | Fixed issue where 64-bit operating system runs extremely slow | 03:34 |
| snadge | with 4 GB memory installed. | 03:34 |
| snadge | LOL | 03:34 |
| snadge | i totally need this bios update.. this pc runs like a dog | 03:34 |
| snadge | with its legs shot off | 03:34 |
| snadge | Fixed issue where BIOS Setup is inconsistent on memory. | 03:35 |
| snadge | *facepalm* thanks intel ;) | 03:36 |
| RAOF | “Fixed issue where system fails to hand off to GRUB roughly half the time” :) | 03:37 |
| ohsix | snadge: yea i don't see any option that stands out, except the efi thing; getting it to work on an existing install can be a real drag | 03:45 |
| snadge | MemTotal: 3915828 kB | 04:41 |
| snadge | yes!!! bios update.. :D | 04:41 |
| * snadge shakes fist at intel | 04:41 | |
| snadge | i had to write freedos to a usb stick.. and flash the bios from DOS.. sigh | 04:41 |
| snadge | the windows flash tool didnt work | 04:42 |
| snadge | and the flash tool built into the bios.. also didnt work | 04:42 |

| hallyn | sigh, is there a git-am flag to say "offsets are ok"? | 14:30 |
| tgardner | hallyn, -3 ? | 14:33 |
| tgardner | --3way | 14:33 |
| apw | hallyn, -C1 perhaps | 14:34 |
| apw | -C1 gives you semantics like patch | 14:34 |
| hallyn | tgardner: i'm an ignorant git and never looked up what a 3way really is | 14:35 |
| hallyn | apw: hm, -C1 isn't in git-am man page | 14:35 |
| tgardner | apw, apw is likely more crrect in that you want -C1 | 14:35 |
| tgardner | hallyn, its in 'git apply' | 14:36 |
| tgardner | -C<n> | 14:36 |
| tgardner | Ensure at least <n> lines of surrounding context match before and after each change. When fewer lines | 14:36 |
| tgardner | of surrounding context exist they all must match. By default no context is ever ignored. | 14:36 |
| hallyn | cool, with 130 patches in the mbox and 40 patches in it may be worth re-trying with that :) | 14:37 |
| tgardner | thats a lot of patches | 14:37 |
| hallyn | hm, -C1 sounds dangerous though :) | 14:37 |
| hallyn | I just want it to ignore offsets, not changed context | 14:38 |
| apw | hallyn, it tells you exactly what it relaxed when it did it | 14:38 |
| apw | hallyn, and as i say -C1 makes us only as lax as a normal patch apply | 14:38 |
| hallyn | but if the patch has 3 lines of context, and I say -C3, will it then still ignore offsets? And is -C3 in that case safer than -C1? | 14:39 |
| hallyn | hm, 'context reduced to (1/1)', guess it did need to be C1 :) thanks apw | 14:42 |
| apw | yep so you need to be wary and eyeball what happened just in case | 14:44 |
