Kiloshi Xethron 06:26
Symmetriasup07:03
Symmetriainteresting, first time in my life I've actually flashed a bios to fix a problem and it fixed it07:03
Kiloswow07:09
Kilosyeah it works kiff07:09
Kilosnewer mobos come with the option in bios even07:09
Kiloson older pcs you need to download and make a bootable stiffy with the new bios07:10
Kiloshi ThatGraemeGuy rynomster 07:10
Symmetriaheh my pc now has so much crap in it it wont start without a thousand watt PSU ;p07:19
Kiloswow07:19
Symmetrialol, its the video cards that suck power07:19
Kilosdo like me and put another psu outside07:19
Symmetriaheh I prefer not to run internal cards on a seperate PSU 07:20
Kilosreason?07:20
Kilosjust looks ugly imo07:20
Symmetriawell the last thing you want is to lose power on a PSU that is driving a PCI card while the other PSU keeps running07:22
Symmetriashit will get really screwed up if that happens :)07:22
Kilosthen why you overloading that pc so.07:26
Kilosmobo gonna crash soon07:26
Kilosrahter use a server bay07:27
Kilosrather07:27
Kiloshi Vince-0 07:40
Vince-0!07:42
Vince-0Kilos, ever vigilant 07:42
Vince-0or is it lurking07:42
Kilosim the greeter bot07:43
Kilosdid you read what was said at last nights meet07:43
Kilosdbnlug has some stuff to share07:44
Vince-0ya there's always talk07:45
Symmetriaheh I need to start trying to mine bitcoins07:45
Symmetrianow that I got sufficient offload gpu capacity07:46
Vince-0eventually the electricity bill isn't worth the return07:46
Symmetrialol I dont actually wanna put a power meter on my machine07:48
SymmetriaI fear to think how much its drawing with those video cards in it07:48
Kiloshi aquarat 08:07
charlgood morning08:30
charlMaaz: coffee on08:30
* Maaz flips the salt-timer08:30
MaazCoffee's ready for charl!08:34
charlMaaz: thanks08:35
Maazcharl: No problem08:35
Kiloshi charl 08:38
Symmetriaheh this ethernet over power stuff is so awesome09:39
charlSymmetria: why?09:46
Symmetriacharl heh, 500meg from one side of the house to the other09:48
Symmetriaby plugging in 2 wall sockets09:48
Symmetriasaves a lot of effort, time and money in cabling09:48
Symmetriaheh, power over ethernet is something we've all become used to, ethernet over power though is something I'd heard of, but never had a chance to test09:49
Symmetrianow that I have tested it, I love it :P09:49
Symmetriaanyone know if any of the ubuntu live cds have built in nvidia drivers in them?09:49
Symmetriacause I really wanna see if linux can handle this setup now that Ive changed it slightly, cause it sure as hell didnt like the old setup09:50
ThatGraemeGuyKilos: sorry, morning09:55
ThatGraemeGuyand everyone else09:55
ThatGraemeGuyand bye bye! closing up shop early09:56
Kilosnp09:56
ThatGraemeGuyenjoy xmas / day off / whatever it means to each of you :-)09:56
Symmetriaugh no one seems to know if there is an ubuntu live cd with nvidia drivers :(09:57
Kilosty same there09:57
charlSymmetria: i don't have any nvidia cards, i always go for intel hd, so i wouldn't know either10:26
charlSymmetria: friends of mine use ethernet over power in their house, they also use IPTV (FTTH)10:27
charlSymmetria: when somebody plugs in a charger that creates interference, the tv starts picking up problems10:28
charlthe video feed starts hanging every few seconds10:29
Kilosnouveau drivers work some10:35
Kilosbut to get the card going well you need the correct driver10:36
Kilosalso there is nvidia-current in the repos10:37
Kilosi think it was current10:37
Symmetriawill get a live cd and play10:37
Kilosyeah its nvidia-current10:38
Symmetriahrm, can I just apt-get install that on a live cd, suppose I should be able to10:38
Kilosyes10:38
Kilosyou can also install the driver for the card from the live cd but you lose it when you remove the cd and reboot10:39
Kiloswhat ubuntu you wanna try Symmetria 10:39
Kilosthe newer ones are dvd size 1.1g10:40
Kiloswhat is ethernet over power?10:41
SymmetriaI'll go download one and stick it on a bootable usb stick or something so whatever size 10:41
Kilosya thats fine. go with 13.1010:41
Symmetriakilos heh, there are these nifty adapters you plug into the wall, and you plug an ethernet cable into them, then you plug a corresponding unit into another wall and it uses the house power grid as if it were virtual ethernet cables10:42
Kiloswow10:42
Symmetriaso you can plug 2 adapters in on opposite sides of the house and have ethernet over power 10:42
Kilosclever that. saves cabling10:42
Kilosspeed. it must surely be slower than cat5 cabling10:43
Symmetriakilos about half a gigabit through the power at my house10:43
Kiloswow thats good10:43
