[06:09] good morning all [06:18] hmm caught you all in bed [06:20] yo SmilyBorg_w [06:22] Hi there === SmilyBorg_w is now known as SmilyBorg [06:29] bbl [06:44] Morning everyone [06:51] morning [09:09] Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu on an old PowerPC MacG4? [09:21] I did a few years ago, but I might try to do so with one I have lying around here [09:23] 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? [09:29] domo domo, ohayo [09:30] 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] 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] http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness [09:31] kodez: gnome-mplayer switches itself off? [09:31] kodez: haven't used mplayer in a long time, these days i just use vlc [09:31] charlvn, yes. it pauses itself to be precise [09:31] very strange, sounds like a bug [09:32] perhaps report it on launchpad? [09:32] 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] i want to retain a lean OS, hence retaining the default player [09:32] hi charlvn and kodez [09:33] 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] i see there is also a mac+amd64 build [09:33] i just use the standard amd64 build [09:33] yes, they've always been there [09:33] it's an intel core i5 after all... how much different can the one in a mac be compared to a normal one [09:34] they're just not supported [09:34] ah ok i guess that's fair enough [09:34] kodez: isn't the default player totem? [09:34] but then again I really wonder what the advantage of PowerPC still is [09:35] psydroid: Wasn't it more efficient lower level? [09:35] kodez: oh wait nevermind, i'm thinking of the gnome-ubuntu, not lubuntu [09:35] 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 [09:36] HawkiesZA: afaik it was much easier to program with due to a lack of paging [09:36] but with the high-level languages nobody cares anymore in any case [09:36] but apparently intel is a biatch to program for if you write in assembly language [09:36] i have only done very little assembly myself though [09:36] 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] Same. I stay far far away from that [09:37] except for embedded or big servers probably [09:37] the new amiga computers also use powerpc afaik [09:37] yes, x86 is a disaster [09:37] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOS [09:37] Intel and Microsoft did a good job in convincing everyone they were better [09:38] all your base and all that [09:38] now it's going to be ARM+whatever and MIPS is still alive in many devices too [09:38] ARM is upcoming [09:38] so they kind of failed eventually [09:38] 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 [09:39] yeah [09:39] and on servers just look at the Tilera chip [09:39] ah nice http://www.tilera.com/ [09:40] it crushes anything Intel has for a fraction of the price and power consumption [09:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TILE64 [09:40] very very nice [09:40] i like [09:41] That's a lot of cores [09:41] so do I [09:53] 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 [12:06] m.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/01/mit-genius-stu/ [12:08] hello [12:10] * HawkiesZA waves at Squirm [12:19] domo Squirm [12:20] hmmm, me likey ubuntu12.04 [12:28] * Squirm sits and watches [12:54] zeref: we missed you at the ubuntu hour [13:41] bro told me that, there was a house warming party on sat [14:20] taking a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour [14:20] sounds a bit like photobombing [14:21] wondering how many people got interested in ubuntu and how many people get freaked out :) [14:38] really wanted to go.....:( [14:38] anybody have pics of the hour? [14:39] we want pics [14:39] pic or it didn't happen :) [14:40] lol [14:43] lol [14:43] we should have a lot of pics of our ubuntu hours [14:43] @ maia === smile is now known as smile4hotdog [17:58] Evening all. === smile4hotdog is now known as smile-druk [18:29] i read that as smile drunk [19:14] Banlam: that should get read as "smile-busy" [19:15] magespawn: wb [19:15] Hey charlvn [19:15] Ty [19:48] Good night y'all. === koiosify_ is now known as koiosify === Kerbero[bouncer] is now known as Kerbero === bakuman- is now known as bakuman
