[06:09] <Kilos> good morning all
[06:18] <Kilos> hmm caught you all in bed
[06:20] <Kilos> yo SmilyBorg_w 
[06:22] <SmilyBorg_w> Hi there
[06:29] <Kilos> bbl
[06:44] <mazal> Morning everyone
[06:51] <charlvn> morning
[09:09] <HawkiesZA> Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu on an old PowerPC MacG4?
[09:21] <psydroid> I did a few years ago, but I might try to do so with one I have lying around here
[09:23] <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?
[09:29] <charlvn> domo domo, ohayo
[09:30] <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
[09:31] <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
[09:32] <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
[09:33] <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
[09:34] <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
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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
[09:37] <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
[09:38] <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
[09:39] <psydroid> yeah
[09:39] <psydroid> and on servers just look at the Tilera chip
[09:39] <charlvn> ah nice http://www.tilera.com/
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <HawkiesZA> That's a  lot of cores
[09:41] <psydroid> so do I
[09:53] <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

[14:20] <charlvn> taking a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour
[14:20] <charlvn> sounds a bit like photobombing
[14:21] <charlvn> wondering how many people got interested in ubuntu and how many people get freaked out :)
