lordievaderHow are you doing ObrienDave?07:59
ObrienDavetired, got home 30 minutes ago08:00
ObrienDaveand you?08:00
lordievaderMeh, doing okay. Found out my bios is keeping my cpu from doing aes...08:00
lordievaderNeed to do some hacky things to enable it. Will look into that later...08:01
ObrienDaveloverly08:01
lordievaderAny more 'wonders' in #ubuntu?08:04
ObrienDavenot looking LOL08:04
lordievaderHehe ;)08:05
ObrienDavetoo tired, too grumpy to deal whit that noise tonight :)08:05
lordievaderHihi :P08:05
ObrienDavewhy, OH WHY, do i get involved ;P08:09
lordievaderYou just couldn't stay away, could you.08:10
ObrienDave*SLAPS FINGERS* bad fingers ;P08:11
ObrienDavei almost jumped in there again. *BAD FINGERS* ;P08:13
OerHeksLion hunter becomes hunted, Ubuntu helpers avoid helpchannel, happy International Tiger Day !08:17
ObrienDave\o/ ;p08:18
OerHeksit is me, OerHeks08:19
ObrienDavedang, killed myself rofl08:41
OerHeks" Ubuntu, with ads free solitaire! "08:42
ObrienDave\o/08:43
lordievaderWhoo fixed my aes issue. Early loading of microcode \o/08:45
OerHeksOn what cpu is that, lordievader ?08:47
lordievaderOerHeks: http://ark.intel.com/products/52219/Intel-Core-i7-2630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz08:47
lordievaderHP's bios is too old to enable AES-NI.08:48
OerHeksAh ok :-)08:49
ObrienDavei'm going to bed *waves*08:50
lordievaderIt increased the aes perfomance in the cryptsetup benchmark ten fold :D08:52
OerHeksThat i would not ignore too08:53
OerHeksmaybe my HP with i3 can be tweaked too08:54
OerHekshi cfhowlett08:54
cfhowlettOerHeks, greetings sir08:54
cfhowlettI guess08:54
lordievaderOerHeks: Do you use luks?08:57
OerHekslordievader, no.08:57
lordievaderThat was for me the main reason. I never checked out the performance of the different ciphers until today. A friend of mine pointed out yesterday that it really matters.08:58
lotuspsychjegood morning fellas09:24
lordievaderHey lotuspsychje09:27
lotuspsychjehello mate09:27
lotuspsychjeall ok lordievader ?09:27
lordievaderlotuspsychje: Doing good here. My ssd should be coming in today, any tips?09:27
lotuspsychjelordievader: wich brand?09:27
lordievaderSamsung.09:28
lotuspsychjelordievader: wich version09:28
lordievaderEvo 85009:28
lotuspsychjelordievader: nice, that one doesnt need firmware upgrading09:29
lotuspsychjelordievader: changing bios iDE to ahci, and doing all the ubuntu ssd tweaks09:29
lotuspsychjelordievader: fstab,swappiness09:30
lordievaderAlready running ahci, and I am running Gentoo remember ;)09:30
lotuspsychjeyeah :p09:30
lordievaderWhat are the 'Ubuntu ssd tweaks'?09:30
lotuspsychjelordievader: http://tinyurl.com/ctk2vbu09:31
lotuspsychjeim having relatime in fstab, works best for desktop use09:31
lotuspsychjealso the tmp fstab lines add09:31
lordievaderWhat 'tmp fstab lines'?09:32
lotuspsychjehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/78971/best-etc-fstab-setings-for-boosting-ssd-hdd09:33
lordievaderHeh, already doing that too ;)09:34
lotuspsychjewell for the rest, your samsung hardware will do it all for you :p09:34
lotuspsychje!info preload09:35
ubot5preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (vivid), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB09:36
lotuspsychjeworks also nice ssd09:36
lordievaderAlready running that, also running/using prelink.09:37
lotuspsychje!info prelink09:38
ubot5prelink (source: prelink): ELF prelinking utility to speed up dynamic linking. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.20130503-1 (vivid), package size 909 kB, installed size 1796 kB09:38
lotuspsychjecan that be combined with preload harmless?09:39
lordievaderlotuspsychje: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Prelink09:39
lotuspsychjecool, you will rocknroll after ssd install :p09:40
lotuspsychjelordievader: dont forget to feedback :p09:40
lordievaderI'm still wondering how I'm going to do my dual luks container unlock...09:41
lordievaderI hope lvm lets me mount things with a partial vg.09:42
lotuspsychjedont have experience with lvm09:42
lotuspsychjehttp://www.wikiguga.com/topic/4509bd3598dd5b78880a7b422c42092209:43
lordievaderYeah, I was thinking about storing a key file on the ssd.09:45
lordievaderHowever if lvm doesn't allow mounting when the vg is partial (I do think it allow it though) this plan is blown.09:45
lotuspsychjelordievader: you could ask this in #ubuntu if that would work09:49
lordievaderMeh, I'll figure things out.09:49
lordievaderProbably won't be too difficult ;)09:50
lotuspsychje:p09:50
lotuspsychjelordievader: did you receive it yet?14:51
lotuspsychjeafternoon to all14:51
OerHekso/14:52
lotuspsychjehi OerHeks :p14:52
lordievaderlotuspsychje: Jup it is rather fast.14:52
lotuspsychjeyayyyy14:52
daftykinswhat's that?14:52
* daftykins is playing with Windows 10 today14:52
lotuspsychjedaftykins: he ordered his samsung evo 85014:53
lotuspsychjelordievader: how fast is boot, with wich Os?14:53
daftykinsah har14:53
lordievaderAlso added ram. And will add more when I dissasemble it.14:53
lotuspsychjelol14:53
lotuspsychjeits gonna be a beast14:53
lordievaderlotuspsychje: ~20 seconds, but that is maily since I need to type my password twice.14:54
lordievaderNeed to figure out how I can delay the second unlock till / is mounted.14:54
lotuspsychjelordievader: not sure on lvm :p find your way thru the tunnel :p15:04
TJ-the 850 is pretty good15:05
lordievaderMeh, I'll mess with it later. Need to get things done.15:05
lotuspsychjeTJ- might be able to help15:05
TJ-I've got one here15:05
lotuspsychjethats out hardware spec15:05
lotuspsychje*our15:06
lotuspsychjeTJ-: you got the evo or the pro15:07
TJ-I've been developing a script to install to it fully encrypted, with detached LUKS header on an external device, also encrypted15:07
TJ-850 EVO15:07
lotuspsychjenice15:08
TJ-it's the 500GB model, replacing a 750GB 7,200rpm SHD (flash/hard drive combo)15:09
lotuspsychjeheavy15:10
lotuspsychjewich Os15:10
TJ-14.0415:10
lotuspsychjeand your boot time?15:10
TJ-No idea, I never boot it15:10
lotuspsychjelol15:10
TJ-anyone who is concerned about boot times isn't using the PC for anything serious. I'm interested in random I/O read/write latencies15:11
lotuspsychjetime is money and slow boot times arent pleasant15:12
OerHeksoer@OerNest:~$ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda15:13

OerHeks Timing buffered disk reads: 558 MB in  3.00 seconds = 185.87 MB/sec15:13
TJ-Why boot? I suspend/resume, but even 1 minute isn't going to affect anything. It's like those drivers that race about on short journeys waste loads of fuel and arrive maybe 4 seconds earlier15:13

lordievaderI run Windows a vm so I don't have to reboot ;)15:14
TJ-Is it my week to get the deliberately annoying issues?15:16
lotuspsychjelol15:17
daftykinsTJ-: yep, short straw i'm afraid15:17
daftykinswe all drew this morning ;)15:17
* TJ- rolls eyes and swears so much the dogs run and hide15:18
TJ-this eein - I'm not convinced the target is even an Ubuntu server... I suspect Debian but I can't trust to get the results I ask for from the bad server15:19
daftykinsask for an output of lsb_release15:21
daftykinsif they can't provide one, or it shows it's debian, refuse to help :)15:22
TJ-I've got a pure mini pci-e flash drive as well, with its own on-board sata 3 controller... that's fast, sizes up to 128GB. I've also found it hangs the XPS laptops and one server when connected at boot-time, but is fine when hot-plugged. Seems to be a problem with it's Option ROM not behaving correctly with the system BIOSes15:22
TJ-daftykins: I would, but I've asked for output twice and its been from a 'good' server both times despite everything!15:23
daftykinso015:23
lordievaderTJ-: Ask for uname -a output?15:23
TJ-I was planning on equipping all the laptops with the mini-pcie + spinning disks but got to work out the OROM problems with the manufacturer's engineers first15:24
TJ-lordievader: I gave up because eein was giving me results from the good server even though I specifically asked for them from the bad server! I'm sure some people's brains just do not compute15:25
lordievaderI came to that same conclusion a couple of days ago in #ubuntu. Might be the reason I am no longer in there.15:26
lordievader:P15:26
daftykinsTJ-: those sound a bit niche to me, is it standard PCI express 1x slots they're using, or?15:26
daftykinsoh sorry you did say mini-PCIE15:26
daftykinsM.2 is great15:26
daftykinsi've done a build where there's a 2x or 4x M.2 slot directly on the motherboard below the CPU socket, super fast boot15:26
daftykinspower button, first thing you see is the windows 7 boot logo which doesn't even get a chance to complete - then bam, desktop15:27
lotuspsychjeTJ-: someone screams for help.. :p15:29
TJ-yeah. Well I fixed on XPS M1530s ages ago - all our laptops are identical, with the 1920x1200 LCD, 8GB RAM, T7200 core2duo, Bluetooth, Cellular 4G, dual-band MIMO Wifi... the XPSs have the ExpressCard  plus 3 full mini-PCIe slots (not cut-downs with only USB or mSATA on) so they're highly flexible and expandable.15:29
TJ-like on my main PC I use the ExpressCard to connect an external ViDock PCIe expander, which has the Nvidia NVS420 dual GPU driving 4 additional monitors15:32
lotuspsychjewhat you guys think of this:15:34
lotuspsychjehttp://news.softpedia.com/news/entroware-now-sells-the-ubuntu-powered-proteus-with-a-new-card-487975.shtml15:34

lotuspsychjeintel wifi15:36
lotuspsychjei wanna make the hd unchoosable in my store15:37
lotuspsychjeonly 850 pro inside15:37
lordievaderlotuspsychje: Why? Not everyone is looking for top performance, some just want something cheap.15:38
lotuspsychjethen choose a lower 850 pro 120gig15:38
lotuspsychjei dont wanna go lower then 850 pro15:38
daftykins850 EVO for cheap, Pro for top? :)15:38

EriC^^wb daftykins20:26
daftykinso/20:28
daftykinsthanks! home tubes went down it seems20:28
EriC^^how's it going?20:28
daftykinsgood ta, just upgraded my desktop from win7 to 1020:28
EriC^^cool20:28
EriC^^how do you like it?20:28
daftykinsbeen using the preview since Decemberish, definitely really nice :) lighter even than 720:28
daftykinsjust the usual learning curve of course20:28
EriC^^cool20:29
Bashing-omWife just upgraded her graphics work station to Win 10. She is impressed with 10.20:30
EriC^^is it free to upgrade if you have win8?20:30
EriC^^nice20:32
Bashing-omEriC^^: Yes, in her case, was a free offer .20:33
EriC^^nice, it looks very sleek20:33
EriC^^http://www.windowscentral.com/official-windows-10-iso-files-now-available-download20:34
daftykinsboth 7 and 8 yep20:34
daftykinsunfortunately booting straight off the ISO doesn't work, you have to do an upgrade first :(20:35
daftykinswhich amusingly has left my copy not activated right now, figure i'll give MS support lines a break before i ring up again ;)20:35
daftykinsgot cut off earlier, i'm sure they're absolutely swamped with users20:35
EriC^^yeah20:36
EriC^^well that's awesome20:37
Bashing-omI watched her do the upgrade this AM, it was and is sleek. MS do something right ? , was slick and a very friendly composition .20:37
daftykins:D20:39
daftykinsi'm still gonna do a clean one i think20:39
daftykinsnothing like a properly clean install as a good foundation to start!20:39
EriC^^yeah20:39
Bashing-om^ 100 %20:40
daftykinsnot hugely clear on how it works right now, couldn't feed it by 7 key, so perhaps once the upgrade is activated it'll *know* my system online and just work o020:43
daftykinss/by/my20:43
daftykinslol cat at the window miaowing as if to be let in20:43
daftykinsbest go remind her she has a flap20:43
