| knightwise | ok , lets see if i can help you | 08:40 |
| knightwise | what would you like to know , | 08:40 |
| brobostigon | ok, if i do an install into my nexus 4, ie, full install not dual booted in some way, will ubuntu touch versions upgrades work as normally.? | 08:41 |
| knightwise | i have no experience with that , i just bought the bq preinstalled :( | 08:43 |
| brobostigon | ok, | 08:43 |
| knightwise | but i do think you'll get the updates | 08:45 |
| brobostigon | ok, ty. but it has to be a full proper install? | 08:46 |
| knightwise | of that i'm not sure | 08:46 |
| knightwise | when i tried it on the nexus 7 , there was no dual boot | 08:46 |
| brobostigon | so you did a full install with phablet-tools? | 08:47 |
| knightwise | yep , but this was about a year ago | 08:47 |
| brobostigon | ok, | 08:47 |
| knightwise | sorry i'm not much help .. | 09:04 |
| knightwise | now I have to say , my first impressions of ubuntu phone are .. mixed | 09:05 |
| popey | brobostigon: yes | 09:06 |
| popey | if you install ubuntu touch on the nexus 4 you'll get over the air updates | 09:06 |
| brobostigon | but not in dualboot? | 09:07 |
| brobostigon | updates depending on which channel i choose as well? | 09:08 |
| popey | I don't know anything about dual boot, never done it | 09:08 |
| brobostigon | ok, | 09:08 |
| DanChapman | updates work for dual boot aswell. | 09:08 |
| DanChapman | wel the used to when i used multirom manager | 09:08 |
| DanChapman | s/the/they | 09:08 |

| mappps | ordered a new portable charger..stupid connectors seem to have become a bit dodgy on my anker one | 16:40 |
| mappps | having to hold the cable while it charges is no fun;) | 16:41 |
| daftykins | sounds like someone does not baby their possessions enough! | 16:41 |
| mappps | pfft | 16:42 |
| mappps | i kept it in my pocket while phne charges its portable..for out and about | 16:42 |
| mappps | it works fine..just have to hold the USB cable in | 16:42 |
| mappps | which well kinda sucks :) | 16:42 |
| daftykins | aaah loving win10 so much, lovely fast UI | 16:43 |
| mappps | really? | 16:44 |
| mappps | running in a VM? | 16:45 |
| daftykins | nah on this spare quad core desktop i have | 16:46 |
| daftykins | http://techblo.gg/stuff/win10-10074.png | 16:46 |
| mappps | ah cool | 16:46 |
| mappps | how much ram? | 16:46 |
| daftykins | says right there | 16:47 |
| daftykins | ;] | 16:47 |
| mappps | ah | 16:47 |
| daftykins | super snappy despite some low end nvidia card | 16:48 |
| mappps | nice | 16:48 |
| mappps | not used it yet myself | 16:49 |
| mappps | was talking to someone yesterday still using vista lol | 16:49 |
| mappps | either use XP or 7..vista ugh | 16:49 |
| mappps | and obv now support's ended finally for xp | 16:49 |
| daftykins | XP should not be touched, nah | 16:49 |
| daftykins | plus i'd rather not see its' installer ever again | 16:49 |
| daftykins | still get people coming in #ubuntu after a suggestion on what to install on their ancient netbooks, amusingly | 16:50 |
| daftykins | i say bury the damn things | 16:50 |
| mappps | but vista? | 16:50 |
| mappps | pfff | 16:50 |
| mappps | i love my netbook;) | 16:50 |
| mappps | on it now:P | 16:50 |
| mappps | samsung nc10 | 16:50 |
| mappps | perfect little machine..brilliant for travelling | 16:51 |
| mappps | use lubuntu/xubuntu/win7 all run fine on them | 16:51 |
| diddledan | the hampshire police had a thingie in sainsbury's which allowed you to sign up for some spam service they're offering. it was running vista. | 16:51 |
| mappps | heh | 16:51 |
| mappps | vista ugh | 16:51 |
| diddledan | this was on wednesday | 16:51 |
| mappps | i dont think i used it for more than a day | 16:51 |
| mappps | stuck with xp then onto 7 | 16:51 |
| mappps | for my windows adventures | 16:51 |
| daftykins | mappps: you probably just have very low standards on how a machine should perform ;) | 16:52 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins, nice to see such a closed mind at work - your comment re netbooks... you obviously have never heard of Ubuntu MATE ;) | 16:52 |
| mappps | pfff | 16:52 |
| mappps | :) | 16:52 |
| daftykins | Vista is terrible yeah, 7 was a great improvement | 16:52 |
| mappps | yea | 16:52 |
| daftykins | and in fact 10 is to 7 as 7 is to Vista, so far | 16:52 |
| mappps | really? | 16:52 |
| mappps | I#ll try 10 eventually..i've got the ISO dl but not got round to it | 16:52 |
| daftykins | SuperEngineer: closed mind? netbooks sucked when they came out, in the bin they belong | 16:52 |
| daftykins | (well electronics recycling ideally) | 16:53 |
| mappps | pfff | 16:53 |
| mappps | il have them all then | 16:53 |
| daftykins | mappps: probably the wrong version now, it's on build 10074 right now | 16:53 |
| mappps | il give netbooks a good home | 16:53 |
| mappps | yea will be an old build | 16:53 |
| mappps | wll grab a new build later | 16:53 |
| daftykins | definitely keen for it to go gold :D | 16:53 |
| daftykins | rumoured release of July apparently | 16:53 |
| mappps | what's gold mean? | 16:53 |
| mappps | production i guess | 16:54 |
| daftykins | yes, final | 16:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | i love netbooks | 16:54 |
| mappps | ya | 16:54 |
| daftykins | though in MS terms it's typically RTM - release to manufacturing | 16:54 |
| mappps | yay | 16:54 |
| mappps | what ne you got zmoylan-pi | 16:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | i still have my olpc and a hp netbook with a 14hour battery life | 16:55 |
| mappps | nice | 16:55 |
| mappps | 14hr is impressive | 16:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | slow but it just keeps going | 16:55 |
| daftykins | you need that time to get anything finished ;) | 16:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | well i can off load processing jobs to servers and desktops nearby while i sit in garden with decent keyboard and battery life. | 16:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | ultrabooks which were meant to replace them have gone nowhere. the netbook has come back in a new guise as chromebooks | 16:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | even ms were flogging cheap windows laptops that were netbooks in all but name | 16:57 |
| daftykins | meh, my asus i5 sandybridge does 10hrs | 16:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | some people can't get by with the small screens and keyboards but for me as someone who uses public transport i prefer small | 16:58 |
| daftykins | that FHD Dell XPS 13 does 15hrs :D | 16:58 |
| diddledan | FHD: It's Flippin' HD Dammit | 17:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's what you said fhd :-) | 17:00 |
| daftykins | Full HD | 17:02 |
| daftykins | as sadly HD beans 1280x720 up :( | 17:02 |
| daftykins | beans!? means | 17:02 |
| daftykins | this keyboard is odd | 17:02 |
| diddledan | aye | 17:03 |
| diddledan | 720 = CHD aka Crud HD | 17:03 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:03 |
| diddledan | or NRHD : Not Really HD | 17:03 |
| daftykins | PTTTHD, pretender to the throne HD! | 17:04 |
| diddledan | or HHWGYMNHD aka HA HA We Got Your Money Now HD | 17:04 |
| * zmoylan-pi waits for i can't belive it's not hd | 17:05 | |
| diddledan | speaking of which, you know butter.. I can't believe it's not "I can't believe it's not butter" | 17:05 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:05 |
| diddledan | and related, don't try to spoonerism the "Vicker of Dibley" | 17:06 |
| diddledan | have I spelled that right? | 17:07 |
| diddledan | vicar | 17:07 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:09 |
| daftykins | ugh i plugged my secondary screen in over VGA, text on here is so blurry XD | 17:10 |
| daftykins | them thar first world problems | 17:10 |
| daftykins | or 1.1 since it's Guernsey | 17:10 |
| * zmoylan-pi wonders if i can still get my mitts on a working cga monitor... | 17:10 | |
| daftykins | think my old man's hiding an amiga one from my mum somewhere :D | 17:11 |
| diddledan | I've got a black-n-white cga monitor from an AMSTRAD PC1512 | 17:11 |
| SuperEngineer | zmoylan-pi, hang around the electronics skip at your local recycling centr... you'll probably own one within an hour! | 17:12 |
| daftykins | my dads mate calls that place Meerkey alley | 17:15 |
| daftykins | er Meerkat | 17:15 |
| diddledan | meerkey alleys are where the dirty women live | 17:15 |
| diddledan | I don't mean dirty as in grubby, either! :-p | 17:16 |
| * zmoylan-pi remebers when dec in ireland threw out a skip load of alpha powered workstations. word went out on the grapevine and a lad from the office snagged one onto his scooter... kids were hauling them away on skateboards as he left | 17:17 | |
| daftykins | haha | 17:17 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 17:19 |
| shauno | I used to work in dec's old factory. I took a peek around, but there's nothing left | 17:21 |
| * popey generates openstreetmap tiles for portugal for the lulz | 17:23 | |
| popey | wonder how much disk space this will take | 17:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | cheaper than the roaming rates :-) | 17:25 |
| popey | exactly :) | 17:27 |
| popey | making my own little offline osm webapp | 17:28 |
| ging | didn't this channel used to be a lot more full? | 21:51 |
| Azelphur | Hey folks, I've got two raspberry pis that were given to me by a friend, it looks like they may both be broken though. I'll start off with the most functional one, It turns on, starts to boot raspbian, then just boot loops. I had it boot once or twice, but it froze after a few seconds. Any ideas? | 22:27 |
| * penguin42 assumes you tried with different SDs ? | 22:29 | |
| Azelphur | penguin42: 3 different SDs, one of which is an official Raspberry pi one | 22:29 |
| penguin42 | and different power supplies etc? | 22:30 |
| Azelphur | yup | 22:30 |
| penguin42 | have you got a working Pi ? | 22:31 |
| Azelphur | nope | 22:31 |
| penguin42 | hmm, neither have I - I just thought it would be good to test the SD/Powersupply etc combination with a good Pi | 22:31 |
| Azelphur | yea | 22:32 |
| ali1234 | have you tested the sd cards? | 22:32 |
| Azelphur | I mean I have it on a 1A charger that was designed for the tiny TP-Link router | 22:32 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: nope | 22:32 |
| ali1234 | there's probably a reason why you got given this stuff | 22:32 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: yea, he died :P | 22:32 |
| penguin42 | how inconsiderate | 22:32 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 22:32 |
| Azelphur | but I know he treated his stuff real bad, so it's no wonder if it's broken | 22:32 |
| ali1234 | test the SD cards first | 22:33 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Have you got an SD card of your own you could try writing ? | 22:33 |
| Azelphur | nope | 22:33 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: how would I test them? :) | 22:33 |
| ali1234 | put it in an SD card reader and try to read it? | 22:33 |
| Azelphur | oh | 22:34 |
| penguin42 | yeh, checking you can do a full read dd if=/dev/sdwhatever of=/dev/null bs=1024k | 22:34 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: yea they all pass that test obviously, I had to write the OS to them.. | 22:34 |
| ali1234 | second get a bigger power supply | 22:34 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: I tried them on my Bolse smart charger that does 2.4 on a port I think | 22:35 |
| ali1234 | 1A is not enough for the original pi with a keyboard and mouse and HDMI plugged in to it | 22:35 |
| Azelphur | I have power, hdmi and sd, NOTHING else | 22:35 |
| ali1234 | 2A should be though | 22:35 |
| ali1234 | chargers aren't much good either, they sag under load | 22:35 |
| ali1234 | consider that you only need 4.2V to charge a lipo | 22:35 |
| Azelphur | I tried a bunch of different ones, the ones for my Tablet, and even a USB Battery, none of them brought it to life | 22:44 |
| penguin42 | I had heard the Pi was fussy | 22:47 |
| penguin42 | but I don't have one | 22:47 |
| ali1234 | sounds broken then | 23:09 |
