| zumo | AMD Athlon 64 X2 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | ah yes, that's nicer | 00:00 |
| zumo | I refuse to spend £70 for a new board though | 00:00 |
| penguin42 | and ram | 00:00 |
| zumo | The PC i linked to comes with a dual core processor, and its faster plus the ram HDD and everythuing else | 00:01 |
| zumo | Its cheaper to buy a new machine | 00:01 |
| zumo | and I can't get my head around it | 00:01 |
| zumo | I've alsways had it drummed in that its cheaper to build than to buy | 00:01 |
| penguin42 | zumo: those ones from ebuyer are doing very well - I hate to think how; but don't forget that those chips are combined everything; so that's GPU and CPU on one chip | 00:02 |
| zumo | Yea but id add my own gpu probally. Even if I didn,t It would be a decent general use PC | 00:04 |
| zumo | Better than what im using without a doubt | 00:04 |
| penguin42 | well it's a 6xxx series GPU, so it's not going to be bad | 00:04 |
| zumo | Someone install the CPU for me. | 00:13 |
| penguin42 | haha | 00:16 |
| zumo | Dealing with great thermal paste in a white tshirt | 00:29 |
| zumo | Probally not my best idea | 00:29 |

| AlanBell | I would like that | 09:27 |
| oimon | yeah, turns a consumption device into a 2 way computer | 09:28 |

| oimon | my sister is evaulating tablets for her school to buy 20 for use in a pool. not sure what to recommend | 09:35 |

| oimon | ah, i think it has it, but just needs an aadapter | 09:39 |
| oimon | brobostigon, looked androidy to me | 09:39 |
| brobostigon | oimon: it will be android, i mean, they adapt and change it, from aosp. | 09:40 |
| oimon | they add some widgets and apps | 09:40 |
| oimon | like a nice weather app and home screen | 09:40 |
| brobostigon | ok, i thought, when i looked at one for my mum, there were more differences, ohwell. | 09:41 |
| brobostigon | i use beautiful widgets, for my weather widget. | 09:42 |
| ali1234 | samsung have touchwiz, htc has touchflow | 09:42 |
| oimon | i use aix weather app, which is brilliant | 09:42 |
| ali1234 | they both suck | 09:42 |

| ali1234 | oh yeah | 09:46 |
| ali1234 | who is touchflow then? | 09:46 |
| mgdm | Oh, HTC too, but on WinMo, apparently | 09:47 |
| brobostigon | oimon: i am just looking up that weather widget you mentioned, it looks nice. | 09:47 |
| ali1234 | ah yeah touchflow is a htc shell for windows mobile that has kinetic scrolling like iphone/android | 09:48 |

| oimon | it would take a lot for me to like stephen fry | 13:53 |

| AlanBell | popey: is the video released now? | 13:57 |
| oimon | it went wrong when people started listening to what he had to say | 13:57 |
| oimon | people think he's this enormously clever guy or liberal commentator | 13:58 |
| davmor2 | oimon: it would take a lot for you to like anything ;) | 13:58 |

| jacobw | gneel: your're s | 20:09 |
| gneel | I've tried reinstalling it | 20:10 |
| gneel | I've tried upgrading it. | 20:10 |
| jacobw | gneel: you're seeing a filesystem error there, which may be caused by the underlying block device | 20:10 |
| jacobw | gneel: i.e. unless it | 20:10 |
| zleap | ok going back to what i said earlier its sources.list that holds info onpackages | 20:10 |
| zleap | in /etc/apt | 20:10 |
| jacobw | gneel: unless it's a filesystem error, it's a disk erro | 20:10 |
| gneel | jacobw: should I try a fsck then? | 20:10 |
| jacobw | yes | 20:11 |
| gneel | OK thanks. I'll try that. | 20:11 |
| zleap | jacobw, don't you fsck on unmounted filesystems | 20:11 |
| * zleap isn't sure but mentioned it | 20:11 | |
| gneel | Yep, I'll have to reboot to do it | 20:11 |
| zleap | ok | 20:11 |
| jacobw | um, yes, i assume people do :) | 20:11 |
| gneel | I'm going to use a live USB to do it. | 20:11 |
| zleap | ah good plan | 20:11 |
| jacobw | you can schedule an fsck on next boot | 20:11 |
| gneel | You can check a read-only filesystem, but you have to be very careful. | 20:12 |
| gneel | jacobw: how? | 20:12 |
| Darael | It's /possible/ to fsck a mounted filesytem. It's just usually a bad idea. | 20:12 |
| gneel | I've heard of that but don't know how. | 20:12 |
| zleap | gneel, bestnot to over complicate things and do it safely and unmount i guess | 20:12 |
| jacobw | `touch /forcefsck` | 20:13 |
| gneel | jacobw: thanks. | 20:13 |
| gneel | bye all, hope my disk is OK! | 20:13 |

| Azelphur | yep, this is ultra annoying | 20:14 |
| Azelphur | trying to listen to music, volume keeps randomly setting itself to 0 | 20:14 |
| jacobw | ha | 20:15 |
| Azelphur | I even tried going totally hands free, not touching the keyboard or mouse at all, and waiting, and it still sets it to 0 randomly haha | 20:16 |
| jacobw | if the volume is being set by pulseaudio, you could watch dbus for a trigger | 20:16 |
| Azelphur | jacobw: how do I do that? | 20:17 |
| jacobw | check what pulseaudio thinks the volume is when it happens | 20:17 |
| Azelphur | jacobw: I'm watching alsamixer, it does set itself to 0 | 20:17 |
| jacobw | pulseaudio can drive alsamixer | 20:18 |
| Azelphur | :) | 20:19 |
| jacobw | i'm not sure how to watch dbus messages only for pulseaudio, dbus-monitor watches dbus for you | 20:19 |

| yothsoggoth | can anybody recommend a decent (cheap) monitor that has DVI, VGA and HDMI inputs (< £100)? | 22:22 |
| AlanBell | get an hdmi to dvi adapter and drop HDMI from your requirements | 22:23 |
| yothsoggoth | I want sound through the HDMI as well though, usually the ones that come with HDMI also have built-in speakers (although they're probably crap speakers, that doesn't bother me too much) | 22:24 |
| yothsoggoth | at the moment I have 3 screens on my desk, 2 monitors for my PC and 1 tv for the Xbox, so I was hoping to reduce to having 2 monitors, one that has HDMI so I can use it for the Xbox, too. | 22:24 |
| AlanBell | makes sense | 22:25 |
| yothsoggoth | it's been so long since I bought a monitor, I have no idea which are good/bad | 22:30 |
| KrimZon | I have a phillips c-line with vga and hdmi - my graphics card came with an adapter from dvi to hdmi | 22:47 |
| KrimZon | the monitor doesn't have any vesa mount - the cables go in the base and it's like a laptop monitor on its own stand | 22:48 |
| KrimZon | the screen's a bit wobbly but you have to touch the screen to wobble it when it's on a sturdy desk, and the controls are in the base | 22:49 |
| KrimZon | model name: Brilliance 224CL | 22:49 |
| KrimZon | also it's 21.5" 1920x1080 | 22:51 |
| popey | yothsoggoth, i bought philips 234EL, i have two on my desk, they have all 3 inputs | 23:15 |
| yothsoggoth | popey: Does it have speakers? | 23:16 |
| popey | yeah, not great ones | 23:16 |
| yothsoggoth | but bareable? | 23:17 |
| popey | i rarely if ever use them | 23:17 |
| popey | i paid 120 for it | 23:21 |
| popey | ex vat | 23:21 |
| popey | http://www.ebuyer.com/product/242578 | 23:21 |
| yothsoggoth | looks pretty good, but it seems nowhere sells it anymore :( | 23:23 |
| popey | yeah, i bought mine in may | 23:24 |
| popey | i guess it was end of line | 23:24 |
| yothsoggoth | yeahh, but I'll keep a look out for similar ones, or newer Philips ones | 23:24 |
| popey | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-234EL2SB-23-Widescreen-LCD-Monitor-Black-/180954137004?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_Monitors&hash=item2a21b501ac | 23:25 |
| popey | yeah, I'm sure they have comparable models | 23:25 |
| yothsoggoth | I found this one earlier, but I've never really heard of BENQ so I'm unsure of the quality | 23:27 |
| yothsoggoth | http://www.ebuyer.com/387395-gw2250hm-21-5-led-1920x1080-vga-dvi-hdmi-speakers-black-9h-l8mlb-qbe | 23:27 |
| yothsoggoth | The reviews say it's good, but there aren't too many | 23:28 |
| popey | BENQ are quite popular | 23:28 |
| popey | they've been around a few years now, used to be quite low end stuff | 23:28 |
