[05:48] guten morgen [06:26] hi Xethron [07:03] sup [07:03] interesting, first time in my life I've actually flashed a bios to fix a problem and it fixed it [07:09] wow [07:09] yeah it works kiff [07:09] newer mobos come with the option in bios even [07:10] on older pcs you need to download and make a bootable stiffy with the new bios [07:10] hi ThatGraemeGuy rynomster [07:19] heh my pc now has so much crap in it it wont start without a thousand watt PSU ;p [07:19] wow [07:19] lol, its the video cards that suck power [07:19] do like me and put another psu outside [07:20] heh I prefer not to run internal cards on a seperate PSU [07:20] reason? [07:20] just looks ugly imo [07:22] well the last thing you want is to lose power on a PSU that is driving a PCI card while the other PSU keeps running [07:22] shit will get really screwed up if that happens :) [07:26] then why you overloading that pc so. [07:26] mobo gonna crash soon [07:27] rahter use a server bay [07:27] rather [07:40] hi Vince-0 [07:42] ! [07:42] Kilos, ever vigilant [07:42] or is it lurking [07:43] im the greeter bot [07:43] did you read what was said at last nights meet [07:44] dbnlug has some stuff to share [07:45] ya there's always talk [07:45] heh I need to start trying to mine bitcoins [07:46] now that I got sufficient offload gpu capacity [07:46] eventually the electricity bill isn't worth the return [07:48] lol I dont actually wanna put a power meter on my machine [07:48] I fear to think how much its drawing with those video cards in it [08:07] hi aquarat [08:30] good morning [08:30] Maaz: coffee on [08:30] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [08:34] Coffee's ready for charl! [08:35] Maaz: thanks [08:35] charl: No problem [08:38] hi charl [09:39] heh this ethernet over power stuff is so awesome [09:46] Symmetria: why? [09:48] charl heh, 500meg from one side of the house to the other [09:48] by plugging in 2 wall sockets [09:48] saves a lot of effort, time and money in cabling [09:49] heh, 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 test [09:49] now that I have tested it, I love it :P [09:49] anyone know if any of the ubuntu live cds have built in nvidia drivers in them? [09:50] cause 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 setup [09:55] Kilos: sorry, morning [09:55] and everyone else [09:56] and bye bye! closing up shop early [09:56] np [09:56] enjoy xmas / day off / whatever it means to each of you :-) [09:57] ugh no one seems to know if there is an ubuntu live cd with nvidia drivers :( [09:57] ty same there [10:26] Symmetria: i don't have any nvidia cards, i always go for intel hd, so i wouldn't know either [10:27] Symmetria: friends of mine use ethernet over power in their house, they also use IPTV (FTTH) [10:28] Symmetria: when somebody plugs in a charger that creates interference, the tv starts picking up problems [10:29] the video feed starts hanging every few seconds [10:35] nouveau drivers work some [10:36] but to get the card going well you need the correct driver [10:37] also there is nvidia-current in the repos [10:37] i think it was current [10:37] will get a live cd and play [10:38] yeah its nvidia-current [10:38] hrm, can I just apt-get install that on a live cd, suppose I should be able to [10:38] yes [10:39] you can also install the driver for the card from the live cd but you lose it when you remove the cd and reboot [10:39] what ubuntu you wanna try Symmetria [10:40] the newer ones are dvd size 1.1g [10:41] what is ethernet over power? [10:41] I'll go download one and stick it on a bootable usb stick or something so whatever size [10:41] ya thats fine. go with 13.10 [10:42] kilos 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 cables [10:42] wow [10:42] so you can plug 2 adapters in on opposite sides of the house and have ethernet over power [10:42] clever that. saves cabling [10:43] speed. it must surely be slower than cat5 cabling [10:43] kilos about half a gigabit through the power at my house [10:43] wow thats good [12:28] hi SabreWolfy [12:28] wb [12:30] Hiya.

Would you recommend it? [20:14] well, i use it :) but i guess it depends on what you're looking for [20:16] I hear it supports splitting panes, like in tmux? Have you used that feature?
