=== SDC is now known as SDCDev [06:29] morning all [06:29] ai! === miles is now known as Kilos [07:10] hi gremble [07:37] no ADSL :-o [07:37] line completely dead [07:38] I offer my sympathy to the 3G-only folks, this sucks horribly [07:39] lol hi ThatGraemeGuy mine isnt that bad [07:39] you a kde man can you help me with a command please [07:39] my new drive has kde running kiff [07:40] but on other pc and old kde here i did something wrong and they boot to a page with nothing on [07:40] i think it has something to do with plasma [07:41] ian had similar last year and the fly gave him a command to start plasma [07:48] no idea, I am using XFCE [07:48] have to run, time waits for no man [07:52] hehe [08:13] good morning [08:15] hi charl [08:16] i have got bell.ogg in here yet so no alerts yet [08:16] havent [08:16] new drive running lekker [08:22] hi Kilos [08:22] nice ! [08:22] Hello everyone [08:22] hi gremble [08:22] Maaz: coffee on [08:22] * Maaz puts the kettle on [08:22] Maaz coffee please [08:22] Kilos: Okay [08:23] Kilos: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Starting_KDE [08:23] Perhaps that helpds [08:23] helps* [08:23] ive installed kdm on it but now it keeps reshowing the page where you enter password [08:23] grrrr [08:24] You are logging in with the correct password? [08:24] ive had that before a year or 2 back [08:25] but was with unity then and the cure was to install gdm and drop the lightdm thing [08:26] Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! [08:26] Maaz dankie [08:26] Groot plesier Kilos my vriend [08:29] Maaz: thanks [08:29] charl: Okay :-) [09:58] wbb [14:37] bushtech_ waar is die reen man [14:40] wb Kilos [14:40] ty charl was asleep for a while [14:41] * Kilos swanks with an 800g /home [14:42] nice man [14:42] they took that old broken one back ? [14:42] and 64bit kde is faster here than 32bit kde [14:42] ya thet gave new one [14:42] they [14:42] nice [14:43] if you run on a 64bit architecture you want to run a 64bit os ... [14:43] then you can use all the registers etc [14:43] i dunno bout that stuff but i can see its faster [14:48] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#Pros_and_cons [14:48] 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] 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] in other words, depends on the application [14:53] aha [14:53] ty for that [14:53] np [14:53] well even evolution opens and closes much faster [14:54] isn't it more related to your new drive speed? [14:54] could be that kde is just well optimised for 64bit architecture [14:57] 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] how many rpm ? [14:57] now just gotta get bell.ogg into /usr/share/sounds/ [14:58] i dunno how many rpm [14:58] the 1TB is 7200 if i remember right [14:59] sounds about right [15:00] you can find the model if you cat /proc/scsi/scsi [15:00] then it's just a case of googling [15:02] Barracuda 7200.12 Serial ATA Product Manual - Seagate" [15:03] dunno the 80g info just yet. lemme take it out of other pc [15:05] i cant run it, did a rsync of home and it overflowed root so no gui now [15:07] barracuda 7200.10 [15:11] yay im getting good at putting bell.ogg in place for konversation to use [15:11] cant hear the feeble pling it made before [15:11] * Kilos likes my bloep [15:13] actually charl i had to install twice. if something can go wrong it will, and this was a new one to me [15:14] modem connected with nm but nothing could use it [15:14] reinstall and everything can use it [15:39] nice man [15:39] but yeah that was a weird one [15:39] don't know how a reinstall can fix it :( [15:48] 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] with reinstall i chn=anged nothing and it worked first time hehe [15:48] changed [15:49] murphy is a man of means [15:52] lemme shudown and add drives to try fix [19:04] night all. sleep tight.
