| ThatGraemeGuy | no ADSL :-o | 07:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | line completely dead | 07:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I offer my sympathy to the 3G-only folks, this sucks horribly | 07:38 |
| Kilos | lol hi ThatGraemeGuy mine isnt that bad | 07:39 |
| Kilos | you a kde man can you help me with a command please | 07:39 |
| Kilos | my new drive has kde running kiff | 07:39 |
| Kilos | but on other pc and old kde here i did something wrong and they boot to a page with nothing on | 07:40 |
| Kilos | i think it has something to do with plasma | 07:40 |
| Kilos | ian had similar last year and the fly gave him a command to start plasma | 07:41 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no idea, I am using XFCE | 07:48 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | have to run, time waits for no man | 07:48 |
| Kilos | hehe | 07:52 |
| charl | good morning | 08:13 |
| Kilos | hi charl | 08:15 |
| Kilos | i have got bell.ogg in here yet so no alerts yet | 08:16 |
| Kilos | havent | 08:16 |
| Kilos | new drive running lekker | 08:16 |
| charl | hi Kilos | 08:22 |
| charl | nice ! | 08:22 |
| gremble | Hello everyone | 08:22 |
| charl | hi gremble | 08:22 |
| charl | Maaz: coffee on | 08:22 |
| * Maaz puts the kettle on | 08:22 | |
| Kilos | Maaz coffee please | 08:22 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Okay | 08:22 |
| gremble | Kilos: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Starting_KDE | 08:23 |
| gremble | Perhaps that helpds | 08:23 |
| gremble | helps* | 08:23 |
| Kilos | ive installed kdm on it but now it keeps reshowing the page where you enter password | 08:23 |
| Kilos | grrrr | 08:23 |
| gremble | You are logging in with the correct password? | 08:24 |
| Kilos | ive had that before a year or 2 back | 08:24 |
| Kilos | but was with unity then and the cure was to install gdm and drop the lightdm thing | 08:25 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! | 08:26 |
| Kilos | Maaz dankie | 08:26 |
| Maaz | Groot plesier Kilos my vriend | 08:26 |
| charl | Maaz: thanks | 08:29 |
| Maaz | charl: Okay :-) | 08:29 |
| Kilos | wbb | 09:58 |
| Kilos | bushtech_ waar is die reen man | 14:37 |
| charl | wb Kilos | 14:40 |
| Kilos | ty charl was asleep for a while | 14:40 |
| * Kilos swanks with an 800g /home | 14:41 | |
| charl | nice man | 14:42 |
| charl | they took that old broken one back ? | 14:42 |
| Kilos | and 64bit kde is faster here than 32bit kde | 14:42 |
| Kilos | ya thet gave new one | 14:42 |
| Kilos | they | 14:42 |
| charl | nice | 14:42 |
| charl | if you run on a 64bit architecture you want to run a 64bit os ... | 14:43 |
| charl | then you can use all the registers etc | 14:43 |
| Kilos | i dunno bout that stuff but i can see its faster | 14:43 |
| charl | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#Pros_and_cons | 14:48 |
| charl | Some 64-bit programs, such as encoders, decoders and encryption software, can benefit greatly from 64-bit registers, while the performance of other programs, such as 3D graphics-oriented ones, remains unaffected when switching from a 32-bit to a 64-bit environment. | 14:48 |
| charl | Some 64-bit architectures, such as x86-64, support more general-purpose registers than their 32-bit counterparts (although this is not due specifically to the word length). This leads to a significant speed increase for tight loops since the processor does not have to fetch data from the cache or main memory if the data can fit in the available registers. | 14:48 |
| charl | in other words, depends on the application | 14:49 |
| Kilos | aha | 14:53 |
| Kilos | ty for that | 14:53 |
| charl | np | 14:53 |
| Kilos | well even evolution opens and closes much faster | 14:53 |
| charl | isn't it more related to your new drive speed? | 14:54 |
| charl | could be that kde is just well optimised for 64bit architecture | 14:54 |
| Kilos | i had kde on a 80g sata drive before, not sure if the 1TB would be faster than that, but this pc seems happy running 64bit | 14:57 |
| charl | how many rpm ? | 14:57 |
| Kilos | now just gotta get bell.ogg into /usr/share/sounds/ | 14:57 |
| Kilos | i dunno how many rpm | 14:58 |
| Kilos | the 1TB is 7200 if i remember right | 14:58 |
| charl | sounds about right | 14:59 |
| charl | you can find the model if you cat /proc/scsi/scsi | 15:00 |
| charl | then it's just a case of googling | 15:00 |
| Kilos | Barracuda 7200.12 Serial ATA Product Manual - Seagate" | 15:02 |
| Kilos | dunno the 80g info just yet. lemme take it out of other pc | 15:03 |
| Kilos | i cant run it, did a rsync of home and it overflowed root so no gui now | 15:05 |
| Kilos | barracuda 7200.10 | 15:07 |
| Kilos | yay im getting good at putting bell.ogg in place for konversation to use | 15:11 |
| Kilos | cant hear the feeble pling it made before | 15:11 |
| * Kilos likes my bloep | 15:11 | |
| Kilos | actually charl i had to install twice. if something can go wrong it will, and this was a new one to me | 15:13 |
| Kilos | modem connected with nm but nothing could use it | 15:14 |
| Kilos | reinstall and everything can use it | 15:14 |
| charl | nice man | 15:39 |
| charl | but yeah that was a weird one | 15:39 |
| charl | don't know how a reinstall can fix it :( | 15:39 |
| Kilos | something must have benn corrupt somehow, even though i did update/upgrade and carefully worked through nm. everything was right and shoulda worked | 15:48 |
| Kilos | with reinstall i chn=anged nothing and it worked first time hehe | 15:48 |
| Kilos | changed | 15:48 |
| Kilos | murphy is a man of means | 15:49 |
| Kilos | lemme shudown and add drives to try fix | 15:52 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight. | 19:04 |
