[06:13] no luck whatever I do [06:15] let's try yet again with unetbootin this time... [06:23] both pendrive linux and linuxlive won't work with server, latter did with desktop ubu [06:23] only have one stick so can't keep messing around with isos constantly either [06:23] takes ages to reset [06:23] nor can I boot into desktop, then create a server usb from there [06:23] won't have it [06:25] unetbootin is whiting out, looks like its installing at a rate of a meg a minute [06:25] this is going to take a bloody yea [06:25] r [06:25] sigh [06:54] hey [07:47] aloha [07:59] morning === peteb is now known as Guest97356 [10:58] morning boys and girls. [11:20] Any Lovefilm/Amazon Prime subscribers had any luck getting Amazon Instant Video working with Silverlight? [11:20] I just get "Service Error (1002)" when I try to load a video [11:21] s/Silverlight/Pipelight [12:26] 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) [12:27] 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 === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [12:34] It doesn't block me entirely, so it accepts the user agent, just fails at actually loading a video [13:12] lol @ piersmorgan [13:12] whats the ultimate image switch to do between PM and jez clarkson [13:28] Hornet: i dd'ed an image last week to usb for ubunt server [13:37] Hornet what happens when it doesn't work? [13:57] * jussi installs ubuntu touch to see how progress is going... [14:22] just tried using the overdrive plugin for calibre and my local library. hope i didn't just accidentally check out a load of books :S [14:25] an excess of "for dummies" and a lack of "oreilly" [15:16] Afternoon [15:16] Hello popey [18:08] Afternoon [18:08] heya [18:08] how goes it? [18:08] Not bad, just back from a christening [18:08] Now to get on with something useful and try to work out how to add nvidia on this laptop [18:09] :) [18:09] optimus tech is it? [18:10] I assume so, not described as optimus, but it has both builtin intel and an nvidia 750 [18:11] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) [18:12] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1) [18:12] yeah that'll be it [18:12] nvidia prime for you then i guess :) [18:13] Thats what I thought [18:14] I found a webpage with instructions last night, just trying to find it again [18:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics Seems right [18:16] bigcalm: How did you get on with installing nvidia on your new laptop? Is that optimus or just straight nvidia [18:16] you put 14.04 on, yeah? [18:16] Yep [18:16] i think it's meant to be a lot easier to get prime going on that [18:17] Number 4 on here seems hopefull http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/8-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html [18:19] looking good :> [18:19] there may be newer than the 319 driver by now 0o not sure if it's supported with prime though [18:20] 60FPS with the intel driver runnning in glxgears [18:21] sounds vsync capped 0o [18:25] Ah well, built and installed [18:25] Time to reboot [18:25] See you on the other side (hopefully) [18:28] Ah well, rebooted ok [18:29] WTH..... 18038 FPS with nvidia [18:29] DJones: things have settled down. Have been playing Portal 2 with the intel drivers without problem :) [18:30] Right, nvidia seems to have installed without any issues at all [18:30] Just going to try minecraft [18:30] DJones: be careful with putting the laptop into sleep while running from the nvidia drivers [18:30] Might even consider installing steam now [18:30] You might want to look at using profiles in x-settings [18:31] DJones: run intel for every day use and then switch to nvidia when you want to do something graphics intensive [18:31] How do you switch between intel & nvidia [18:32] Via profiles in x-settings [18:32] minecraft is really smooth [18:32] Ta [18:32] I have to go for tea now. davmor2 will be able to help more :D [18:32] Great thanks, missed that just having a quick glance [18:33] Thanks for the tips [18:33] I guess I should make the effort to copy my user data off my old laptop now [18:40] Accidentally washed USB stick...still works \o/ [18:44] nice clean bits?

[19:03] s/properties/preferernces/ [19:03] I use terminator these days now focus follows mouse works nicely with locally integrated menus [19:04] 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 [19:06] I think thats what I changed last time [19:17] popey: What was that system/speed check website you mention now and again [19:32] uhm [19:32] dunno [19:33] It was a list of peoples computers that had run a script/command [19:33] oh [19:33] hugos random benchmark [19:33] Thats it [19:33] http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/wiki/HugoRandomBenchmark [19:33] Thanks [19:34] dave@Mobius:~$ time perl -e 'for($i=0;$i<1e8;$i++) { }' [19:34] real 0m3.273s [19:34] user 0m3.271s [19:34] sys 0m0.003s [19:35] hehe [19:35] * penguin42 can't be bothered wiring his P90 up [19:38] what cpu?
