| somaunn | hi guys | 07:21 |
|---|---|---|
| somaunn | hi Kil | 07:21 |
| Squirm | morning | 07:26 |
| Kilos | morning all of ya | 07:38 |
| somaunn | Kilos: morning bro | 07:40 |
| somaunn | talking about wayland guys | 07:41 |
| Kilos | hi somaunn | 07:41 |
| somaunn | what will it really bring to the linux distro world | 07:41 |
| Kilos | what is wayland | 07:44 |
| somaunn | Wayland. Wayland is intended as a simpler replacement for X, easier to develop and maintain. GNOME and KDE are expected to be ported to it. | 07:46 |
| somaunn | source: wayland.freedesktop.org | 07:46 |
| Kilos | thats too much for me to think about | 07:50 |
| Kilos | i read up on elementary os a bit and it could be interesting to try | 07:51 |
| Kilos | ive never seen osx so have no idea what it looks like | 07:51 |
| Kilos | someone said here months ago we should try it, being very fast is what will make me even consider | 07:52 |
| somaunn | Elementary OS is a good distro to use | 07:54 |
| somaunn | was buggy the time i tried it but i guess it's now more mature but becareful i also feel like there is no real support or community thing like we see for Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu etc. | 07:55 |
| Kilos | how long ago did you try it? | 07:59 |
| Kilos | if its ubuntu based then one should be able to fix it without their support | 08:00 |
| Kilos | someone here uses it | 08:00 |
| somaunn | i used the days i was in S.A | 08:03 |
| somaunn | discover Elementary OS on a DVD found Linux Mag bought in Alberton Mall | 08:04 |
| somaunn | really enjoyed it | 08:04 |
| Kilos | ah ill try it sometime, will download the iso when im awake after midnight one day | 08:07 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:07 |
| somaunn | I propose you first read about Enlightment prior to that https://www.enlightenment.org/?p=about/e17 | 08:11 |
| Kilos | ty will do | 08:11 |
| somaunn | liked it those days but now I'm Plasma from blood to Desktop | 08:13 |
| somaunn | ##All human should use Plasma because it's biologically part of them## | 08:13 |
| Kilos | what has that to do with elementary os? | 08:14 |
| Kilos | its another distro and you need to compile stuff | 08:15 |
| Kilos | i cant compile, i want a working system | 08:15 |
| somaunn | you will get it okay | 08:15 |
| Kilos | thats why i will try something based on ubuntu or maybe debian but no other things | 08:16 |
| somaunn | just install use and crash something, it's the way IT stuffs worx and the way the discover everything we know | 08:16 |
| Kilos | no man my kde here dont crash, i have to zero the drive to mess it up | 08:17 |
| Kilos | do you know the drive zero command | 08:17 |
| Kilos | you can break lots of drives with it but then they are seen as brand new drives and your motherboard has to write a new mbr in | 08:18 |
| somaunn | drive zero ??? | 08:19 |
| somaunn | nope | 08:19 |
| Kilos | lemme find it for you | 08:19 |
| somaunn | K | 08:20 |
| Kilos | very handy for drives that have got corrupted by virusses or malware | 08:20 |
| Kilos | i have got a few scrap drives working again after using it | 08:20 |
| Kilos | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 | 08:21 |
| Kilos | you have to use sudo | 08:21 |
| Kilos | do you throw away drives that cant boot? | 08:24 |
| Kilos | hiya gremble | 08:25 |
| gremble | Good morning Kilos | 08:25 |
| gremble | How're you this fine day? | 08:26 |
| somaunn | Kilos: Ty i never throw away drives i use a linux distro that does this kind of thing [wipe, drive zero, etc...] and get them back to life | 08:27 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:27 |
| Kilos | im good ty gremble | 08:28 |
| Kilos | i might crash me here sometime, gonna tell testdisk write | 09:38 |

| Kilos | sig gen | 14:18 |
| Kilos | you can watch them while you tuning it to get the right frequency | 14:19 |
| gremble | that seems like it would just annoy me more than they do | 14:20 |

| Kilos | chemists supply | 14:25 |
| gremble | Funny how tabart is your second option :P | 14:33 |
| gremble | It is clearly the easier of the lot | 14:33 |
| Kilos | lol ya i used it when i was in st lucia | 14:38 |
| Kilos | but it costs and a software sig gen doesnt | 14:38 |
