| mazal | Morning everyone | 06:44 |
| charlvn | morning | 06:51 |
| HawkiesZA | Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu on an old PowerPC MacG4? | 09:09 |
| psydroid | I did a few years ago, but I might try to do so with one I have lying around here | 09:21 |
| kodez | greetings everyone. i am using lubuntu for the first time. how can i configure gnome-mplayer not to switch itself off every 10 minutes of playing? | 09:23 |
| charlvn | domo domo, ohayo | 09:29 |
| charlvn | HawkiesZA: i know someone who has, he had a bunch of trouble with drivers though and some other weird bugs with big endian | 09:30 |
| HawkiesZA | psydroid: If you do manage it, please let me know. We have a couple of G4s here at the office and I want to see if I can make them useful again | 09:30 |
| charlvn | http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness | 09:30 |
| charlvn | kodez: gnome-mplayer switches itself off? | 09:31 |
| charlvn | kodez: haven't used mplayer in a long time, these days i just use vlc | 09:31 |
| kodez | charlvn, yes. it pauses itself to be precise | 09:31 |
| charlvn | very strange, sounds like a bug | 09:31 |
| charlvn | perhaps report it on launchpad? | 09:32 |
| psydroid | HawkiesZA, sure, I have a SPARC machine too so if endianness is really going to be a problem, it will crash and burn too | 09:32 |
| kodez | i want to retain a lean OS, hence retaining the default player | 09:32 |
| psydroid | hi charlvn and kodez | 09:32 |
| charlvn | psydroid: i didn't realise they still have powerpc builds, they don't seem to be on all the mirrors but according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads they are on the main cdimage mirror | 09:33 |
| charlvn | i see there is also a mac+amd64 build | 09:33 |
| charlvn | i just use the standard amd64 build | 09:33 |
| psydroid | yes, they've always been there | 09:33 |
| charlvn | it's an intel core i5 after all... how much different can the one in a mac be compared to a normal one | 09:33 |
| psydroid | they're just not supported | 09:34 |
| charlvn | ah ok i guess that's fair enough | 09:34 |
| charlvn | kodez: isn't the default player totem? | 09:34 |
| psydroid | but then again I really wonder what the advantage of PowerPC still is | 09:34 |
| HawkiesZA | psydroid: Wasn't it more efficient lower level? | 09:35 |
| charlvn | kodez: oh wait nevermind, i'm thinking of the gnome-ubuntu, not lubuntu | 09:35 |
| psydroid | it's better than Itanium at least, which came later and is going to be killed off sooner than all of RISC architectures it was supposed to replace | 09:35 |
| charlvn | HawkiesZA: afaik it was much easier to program with due to a lack of paging | 09:36 |
| charlvn | but with the high-level languages nobody cares anymore in any case | 09:36 |
| charlvn | but apparently intel is a biatch to program for if you write in assembly language | 09:36 |
| charlvn | i have only done very little assembly myself though | 09:36 |
| psydroid | HawkiesZA, I guess so and it could have, but for the past few years I've seen it mostly disappear from the market place | 09:36 |
| HawkiesZA | Same. I stay far far away from that | 09:36 |
| psydroid | except for embedded or big servers probably | 09:37 |
| charlvn | the new amiga computers also use powerpc afaik | 09:37 |
| psydroid | yes, x86 is a disaster | 09:37 |
| charlvn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOS | 09:37 |
| HawkiesZA | Intel and Microsoft did a good job in convincing everyone they were better | 09:37 |
| charlvn | all your base and all that | 09:38 |
| psydroid | now it's going to be ARM+whatever and MIPS is still alive in many devices too | 09:38 |
| charlvn | ARM is upcoming | 09:38 |
| psydroid | so they kind of failed eventually | 09:38 |
| charlvn | it's already dominant in the mobile market and there is a lot of talk of using it for low-end desktops (such as thin clients) and even servers | 09:38 |
| psydroid | yeah | 09:39 |
| psydroid | and on servers just look at the Tilera chip | 09:39 |
| charlvn | ah nice http://www.tilera.com/ | 09:39 |
| psydroid | it crushes anything Intel has for a fraction of the price and power consumption | 09:40 |
| charlvn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TILE64 | 09:40 |
| charlvn | very very nice | 09:40 |
| charlvn | i like | 09:40 |
| HawkiesZA | That's a lot of cores | 09:41 |
| psydroid | so do I | 09:41 |
| charlvn | if i have such a server running, i would be like this: http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/191/809/me_gusta_mucho_by_megustamuchoplz-d416uqk.png | 09:53 |
