MartijnVdSpopey: they're calliing it a webcast08:22
MartijnVdSno pauses for me08:22
popeywish i could figure out what causes it08:22
popeyit stutters every few seconds08:23
popeyjust a brief pause in the playback08:23
MartijnVdSpopey: it might be on NASA TV or ESA TV if you can get one of those08:23
MartijnVdSpopey: which graphics card?08:23
MartijnVdSpopey: a more boring stream is on nasa tv (just the view of the launch platform, not the presenters)08:24
popeyintel08:25
popeyfull screen doesn't seem to do it08:26
MartijnVdSpopey: I'm on Intel graphics as well08:26
popeyits every 2 seconds08:26
popeyno stuttering in the stream, audio is fine, just video08:27
popeyi think it's related to the gpu acceleration08:27
MartijnVdScould it be an a/v sync issue of some kind08:27
MartijnVdSwhere every 2 seconds the delay triggers a "resync"?08:27

* MartijnVdS has been putting custom firmware on APs15:23
MartijnVdSSome openwrt compatible APs are cheaper than rpi (but don't have hdmi, sadly)15:23
moreatiMartijnVdS: how do those APs compare CPU/RAM wise?15:24
MartijnVdSmoreati: lots less RAM too (32MBish), CPU is a bit slower too, and MIPS not ARM15:25
MartijnVdShowever, €20 vs €35 :)15:25
MartijnVdSand 4x ethernet + 1x wifi15:25

MartijnVdSpopey: its bigger brother works too: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-MR3420 (300MBit instead of just 150)15:26
MartijnVdSI've got mine working as a client, with an 8GB USB stick plugged in with a "root" (well, /overlay) filesystem15:26
MartijnVdSmoreati: Almost all APs currently on the market are some kind of MIPS15:32
MartijnVdSmoreati: More and more ARM is coming, but not from the big manufacturers yet, and then only in high-end15:32

AlanBellI have 4920:46
AlanBellactually a few less, I stuck kubuntu CDs in with Ubuntu CDs at random20:46
jussiriddell sent me a bunch when 10.04 was a bit old already20:46
AlanBellnobody really asks for kubuntu CDs. If they want it then they have already downloaded it themselves20:47
ali1234does anyone actually use kubuntu in preference to, say, opensuse?20:47
AlanBellmy chickens do20:48

czajkowskijussi: is active in the Kubuntu community20:49
jussio/20:49
ali1234jussi: why do you use kubuntu in preference to opensuse?20:49
jussiactually Im am testing GS currently, but will go back to Kubuntu20:50
matttGS ?20:50
ali1234gnome-shell i suppose20:50
matttah20:50
jussignome shell20:50
jussiali1234: stability, debian based, Ubuntu community20:50
jussioh and awesome people20:51
ali1234technically, do you think kubuntu has the same level of quality as opensuse's kde?20:51
jussiI havent overly used opensuse, but I would say so, given my tiny amount of experience.20:52
ali1234i only have a couple of hours experience on either20:52
jussiI found certain things about open suse annoying.. including the lack of jockey20:53
ali1234jockey has broken my systems about as many time as it has helped, that's a problem common to all of ubuntu htough20:54
jussiI ve not had issues with it except in devel releases20:54
jussibut many of my issues were much to do with insufficient knowledge than much else20:56
jussiand debianish habits20:56
ali1234in my short test i thought opensuse had a much nicer default setup for kde20:57
ali1234where as kubuntu seems to be just default KDE grafted onto ubuntu20:58
jussiali1234: thats the point kubuntu is attempting to be a kde showcase.20:59
jussiso we work very closely with upstream20:59
ali1234so it's not intended that anyone actually uses it?20:59
jussiyes!20:59
ali1234it's just to demonstrate what KDE is like before you polish it?21:00
jussiis it not intended that anyone uses kde in its vanilla state? why does it need polishing?21:00
ali1234it doesn't need polishing... it's just better if it is21:00
jussiwe wrk with upstream to provide the polish, rather than trying to carry our own patches21:00

matttlies21:36
czajkowskimattt: dells?21:36
ali1234ok, anything made by dell, hp, asus, or lenovo21:36
AlanBellI would go along with that actually, something a couple of years old on ebay with a core i3 processor or above, then max out the ram and shove an ssd in it21:36
ali1234avoid dual gpu laptops and you will not have any problems unless you get really unlucky21:37
ali1234you're just as likely to get something genuinely faulty as something that doesn't work with linux21:37
mattttrue21:37

matttali1234: relatively ... meaning i don't want to spend 1k or above21:40
ali1234lol21:40
ali1234i wouldn't spend more than £500 on a laptop and i'd probably only go that high if it was brand new21:40
ali1234on ebay i wouldn't pay more than £200 and it would have to be a really nice one21:41

Azelphurbtw, my friend bought me diablo 321:45
Azelphurworks at all max graphics in wine :D21:45
ali1234but does it actually work properly?21:45
Azelphuryep21:46
ali1234i mean eve runs on max graphics, but transparency effects don't work, so you might as well put it on minimum graphics since it looks exactly the same and runs 3 times faster21:46
Azelphurah21:46
AzelphurI can take a screenshot I guess21:46

Azelphuryea21:51
Azelphurinterestingly I seem to be getting better results (at least so far) by routing the cable away from all the other cables on my desk21:52
Azelphurphone doesn't seem to trigger it though21:52
ali1234every single cable from my computer goes through the same trunking21:52
ali1234so i doubt that's it21:52
Azelphurcould be a manufacturing defect, I also probably have a lot more USB devices than you21:53
ali1234i kind of doubt that21:53
AzelphurI have a full 10 port hub and every port on the machine used21:53
ali1234it could be a hub topology issue i suppose21:53
bigcalm_laptopBuying from the Software centre. If I buy any install on one machine. Do I have to buy again to install on another machine?21:54
