[06:29] <miles> morning all
[06:29] <miles> ai!
[07:10] <Kilos> hi gremble  
[07:37] <ThatGraemeGuy> no ADSL :-o
[07:37] <ThatGraemeGuy> line completely dead
[07:38] <ThatGraemeGuy> I offer my sympathy to the 3G-only folks, this sucks horribly
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <Kilos> ian had similar last year and the fly gave him a command to start plasma
[07:48] <ThatGraemeGuy> no idea, I am using XFCE
[07:48] <ThatGraemeGuy> have to run, time waits for no man
[07:52] <Kilos> hehe
[08:13] <charl> good morning
[08:15] <Kilos> hi charl  
[08:16] <Kilos> i have got bell.ogg in here yet so no alerts yet
[08:16] <Kilos> havent
[08:16] <Kilos> new drive running lekker
[08:22] <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
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <gremble> You are logging in with the correct password?
[08:24] <Kilos> ive had that before a year or 2 back 
[08:25] <Kilos> but was with unity then and the cure was to install gdm and drop the lightdm thing
[08:26] <Maaz> Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos!
[08:26] <Kilos> Maaz  dankie
[08:26] <Maaz> Groot plesier Kilos my vriend
[08:29] <charl> Maaz: thanks
[08:29] <Maaz> charl: Okay :-)
[09:58] <Kilos> wbb
[14:37] <Kilos> bushtech_  waar is die reen man
[14:40] <charl> wb Kilos 
[14:40] <Kilos> ty charl  was asleep for a while
[14:41]  * Kilos swanks with an 800g /home
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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
[14:48] <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.
[14:49] <charl> in other words, depends on the application
[14:53] <Kilos> aha
[14:53] <Kilos> ty for that
[14:53] <charl> np
[14:53] <Kilos> well even evolution opens and closes much faster
[14:54] <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
[14:57] <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/
[14:58] <Kilos> i dunno how many rpm
[14:58] <Kilos> the 1TB is 7200 if i remember right
[14:59] <charl> sounds about right
[15:00] <charl> you can find the model if you cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[15:00] <charl> then it's just a case of googling
[15:02] <Kilos> Barracuda 7200.12 Serial ATA Product Manual - Seagate"
[15:03] <Kilos> dunno the 80g info just yet. lemme take it out of other pc
[15:05] <Kilos> i cant run it, did a rsync of home and it overflowed root so no gui now
[15:07] <Kilos> barracuda 7200.10
[15:11] <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
[15:13] <Kilos> actually charl i had to install twice. if something can go wrong it will, and this was a new one to me
[15:14] <Kilos> modem connected with nm but nothing could use it
[15:14] <Kilos> reinstall and everything can use it
[15:39] <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 :(
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <Kilos> murphy is a man of means
[15:52] <Kilos> lemme shudown and add drives to try fix
[19:04] <Kilos> night all. sleep tight.
