| Hornet | anyone tried to install ubuntu server from a usb stick? | 06:13 |
| Hornet | no luck whatever I do | 06:13 |
| Hornet | let's try yet again with unetbootin this time... | 06:15 |
| Hornet | both pendrive linux and linuxlive won't work with server, latter did with desktop ubu | 06:23 |
| Hornet | only have one stick so can't keep messing around with isos constantly either | 06:23 |
| Hornet | takes ages to reset | 06:23 |
| Hornet | nor can I boot into desktop, then create a server usb from there | 06:23 |
| Hornet | won't have it | 06:23 |
| Hornet | unetbootin is whiting out, looks like its installing at a rate of a meg a minute | 06:25 |
| Hornet | this is going to take a bloody yea | 06:25 |

| marxjohnson | Any Lovefilm/Amazon Prime subscribers had any luck getting Amazon Instant Video working with Silverlight? | 11:20 |
| marxjohnson | I just get "Service Error (1002)" when I try to load a video | 11:20 |
| marxjohnson | s/Silverlight/Pipelight | 11:21 |
| popey | marxjohnson: i had it working once, then it broke, i fettled with various things like the user agent string and couldn' make it work again (this was netflix, but similar) | 12:26 |
| marxjohnson | popey: Hmm. I've had Lovefilm Instant working fine up to now with Pipelight and a Windows user agent (occasionally had to reinstall pipelight when they updated something), but no joy at all with Amazon yet | 12:27 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| marxjohnson | It doesn't block me entirely, so it accepts the user agent, just fails at actually loading a video | 12:34 |
| foobarry | lol @ piersmorgan | 13:12 |
| foobarry | whats the ultimate image switch to do between PM and jez clarkson | 13:12 |
| foobarry | Hornet: i dd'ed an image last week to usb for ubunt server | 13:28 |

| nigelb | Hello popey | 15:16 |
| DJones | Afternoon | 18:08 |
| daftykins | heya | 18:08 |
| daftykins | how goes it? | 18:08 |
| DJones | Not bad, just back from a christening | 18:08 |
| DJones | Now to get on with something useful and try to work out how to add nvidia on this laptop | 18:08 |
| daftykins | :) | 18:09 |
| daftykins | optimus tech is it? | 18:09 |
| DJones | I assume so, not described as optimus, but it has both builtin intel and an nvidia 750 | 18:10 |
| DJones | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) | 18:11 |
| DJones | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1) | 18:12 |
| daftykins | yeah that'll be it | 18:12 |
| daftykins | nvidia prime for you then i guess :) | 18:12 |
| DJones | Thats what I thought | 18:13 |
| DJones | I found a webpage with instructions last night, just trying to find it again | 18:14 |
| DJones | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics Seems right | 18:15 |
| DJones | bigcalm: How did you get on with installing nvidia on your new laptop? Is that optimus or just straight nvidia | 18:16 |
| daftykins | you put 14.04 on, yeah? | 18:16 |
| DJones | Yep | 18:16 |
| daftykins | i think it's meant to be a lot easier to get prime going on that | 18:16 |
| DJones | Number 4 on here seems hopefull http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/8-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 18:17 |
| daftykins | looking good :> | 18:19 |
| daftykins | there may be newer than the 319 driver by now 0o not sure if it's supported with prime though | 18:19 |
| DJones | 60FPS with the intel driver runnning in glxgears | 18:20 |
| daftykins | sounds vsync capped 0o | 18:21 |
| DJones | Ah well, built and installed | 18:25 |
| DJones | Time to reboot | 18:25 |
| DJones | See you on the other side (hopefully) | 18:25 |
| DJones | Ah well, rebooted ok | 18:28 |
| DJones | WTH..... 18038 FPS with nvidia | 18:29 |
| bigcalm | DJones: things have settled down. Have been playing Portal 2 with the intel drivers without problem :) | 18:29 |
| DJones | Right, nvidia seems to have installed without any issues at all | 18:30 |
| DJones | Just going to try minecraft | 18:30 |
| bigcalm | DJones: be careful with putting the laptop into sleep while running from the nvidia drivers | 18:30 |
| DJones | Might even consider installing steam now | 18:30 |
| bigcalm | You might want to look at using profiles in x-settings | 18:30 |
| bigcalm | DJones: run intel for every day use and then switch to nvidia when you want to do something graphics intensive | 18:31 |
| DJones | How do you switch between intel & nvidia | 18:31 |
| bigcalm | Via profiles in x-settings | 18:32 |
| DJones | minecraft is really smooth | 18:32 |
| DJones | Ta | 18:32 |
| bigcalm | I have to go for tea now. davmor2 will be able to help more :D | 18:32 |
| DJones | Great thanks, missed that just having a quick glance | 18:32 |
| DJones | Thanks for the tips | 18:33 |
| DJones | I guess I should make the effort to copy my user data off my old laptop now | 18:33 |
| Azelphur | Accidentally washed USB stick...still works \o/ | 18:40 |
| penguin42 | nice clean bits? | 18:44 |

| DJones | ow do I stop alt-t when running irssi through ssh from terminal grabbing catching the Terminal menu, rather than changing irssi channel | 18:58 |
| DJones | s/ow/How/ | 18:59 |
| daftykins | hrmm i only use alt+n | 19:01 |
| popey | DJones: i had that recently | 19:01 |
| popey | DJones: there'a a menu option in the terminal to turn off menus | 19:02 |
| DJones | I changed it on my last laptop, just can't remember how to change it now | 19:02 |
| popey | right click properties? | 19:03 |
| popey | s/properties/preferernces/ | 19:03 |
| popey | I use terminator these days now focus follows mouse works nicely with locally integrated menus | 19:03 |
| DJones | Can't seem to find anything to set it, I thought it was in keyboard shortcuts, bu even with menu access keys disabled it makes no difference, that could be a bug though | 19:04 |
| DJones | I think thats what I changed last time | 19:06 |
| DJones | popey: What was that system/speed check website you mention now and again | 19:17 |
