[00:41] <EriC^^> hehe
[00:41] <EriC^^> yeah
[00:42] <EriC^^> insit.
[00:42] <EriC^^> :P
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[05:32] <lotuspsychje> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/05/new-ubuntu-laptops-available-from-ebuyer-2-2
[08:51] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:25] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:29] <lordievader> o/
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> hi BluesKaj and lordievader
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> what you guys think of this:
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/05/new-ubuntu-laptops-available-from-ebuyer-2-2
[12:16] <lordievader> Hey lotuspsychje
[12:17] <lordievader> Specs are a bit disappointing.
[12:17] <lotuspsychje> cheap hp indeed, but prices are good no?
[12:18] <lotuspsychje> and atheros wifi chipset isnt my dream scenario either :p
[12:19] <lordievader> They are a bit cheaper (about 100 euros).
[12:20] <lotuspsychje> i think with intel wifi and samsung pro 850 ssd, those machines would rock
[12:20] <BluesKaj> the specs are only slightly disappointing for the price points IMO, if they offerd intel cpu and graphics instead of amd then they'd be spot on.
[12:21] <BluesKaj> and BCM wifi
[12:21] <lotuspsychje> yeah
[12:21] <lotuspsychje> well i dont like broadcom chipsets neither
[12:23] <lordievader> The only Broadcom I have supports master mode, quite happy with that :)
[12:23] <BluesKaj> I paid $500 Canadian in Dec 2013 for a Lenovo G500 with intel i3 and their gpu with BCM wifi and I'm very happy with it's performance
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> my broadcom keeps dropping wifi
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> no matter wich firmware/driver i try
[12:24] <BluesKaj> haven't had a problelm with the BCM4313 driver wise on Kubuntu
[12:25] <lotuspsychje> on a cheap aspire one netbook that is
[12:26] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: wich module loaded for you?
[12:26] <lotuspsychje> here's mine:
[12:26] <lotuspsychje> *-network

[12:28] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje, what command generated that output?
[12:28] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: sudo lshw -C network
[12:32] <BluesKaj>  pastebin.ca/2997245
[12:33] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: think you got a wrong paste
[12:33] <lotuspsychje> ah nvm
[12:34] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: also same driver=wl0 driverversion=6.30.223.248 (r487574
[12:35] <lotuspsychje> my wifi drops out every 5min i have to recconect, but strange thing is irc keeps connected
[12:37] <lordievader> lotuspsychje: Irc has a rather long timeout ;)
[12:37] <lotuspsychje> yeah that might be it
[12:37] <lotuspsychje> syslog and dmesg show nothing usefull on my wifi drops either..
[12:38] <lotuspsychje> its weird
[12:38] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje, then i suspect you have a network manager indicator problem ..perhaps you're wifi isn't dropping out at all
[12:38] <lordievader> lotuspsychje: wpa_supplicant \o/
[12:38] <lordievader> Get down to the nitty gritty :D
[12:38] <lotuspsychje> hmm that sounds logic
[12:39] <lotuspsychje> bbl guys
[13:04] <BluesKaj> greetings cfhowlett
[13:04] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, yowza^2

[13:15] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, I did see that.  I still prefer to avoid AMD stuff ...
[13:15] <lotuspsychje> yeah i know its rather cheap stuff, but its HP
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> and its cheap :p
[13:16] <lordievader> HP has two lines of laptops that are excellent.
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> lordievader: wich ones?
[13:16] <lordievader> The Probook and Elitebook lines.
[13:16] <lordievader> None of that crappy plastic stuff.
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> ill keep that in mind for the future
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> never had an email back from hp : (
[13:18] <cfhowlett> I want to like and trust HP but ...
[13:18] <lotuspsychje> but?
[13:19] <cfhowlett> My one and only laptop crapout was an hp/compaq.  bad taste in mouth remains.

[17:46] <daftykins> lotuspsychje: yeah, super low end craptops though
[17:46] <OerHeks> Going by bus/train didn't save me time.
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: yeah but very cheap and ubuntu!
[17:46] <daftykins> AMD :(
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: good ol bike is the best :p
[17:47] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: i know mate, but better this then a craptop chromebook
[17:47] <daftykins> :D
[17:47] <lotuspsychje> if you go intel i3 or i5 that will turn the price up
[17:47] <OerHeks> AMD A10 is not that bad.
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> i think if you plugin samsung 850 pro in those laptops, they will rock
[17:49] <daftykins> ebuyer are still doing the Lenovo B50-70 that i got for £208 delivered with a free inkjet printer 0o
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> lol
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> cheap stuff
[17:49] <daftykins> £21 to double the RAM to 8GB, then pop in an SSD and weeeee
[17:49] <daftykins> only downside is 15" but still 1366x768
[17:50] <daftykins> i really can't stand that res anymore
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> netbook res :p
[17:50] <daftykins> mmm not quite so bad
[17:50] <daftykins> true netbooks were more 1024x600 iirc
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> oh right
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> lotuspsychje@R00TB0X:~$ xrandr --current
