| zmoylan-pi | i have bought a copy of playboy, it had a new short story by one of my favourite authors in it. an a.c.clarke story. | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| diddledan | yeah mean they print intellectual literature? | 00:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | some important news and literature was printed there. but we only remember the nudity now | 00:18 |

| diddledan | I wonder how much faster I can make my raid array by actually thinking about things like stride and stripe width of the filesystem and array | 01:00 |
| diddledan | atm the ext4 system is set to 128/128 for stride/stripe whereas it should ideally be 128/384 (4 discs, raid5) | 01:01 |
| diddledan | and the raid5 stripe width is 512K | 01:02 |
| diddledan | that is ofc if my maths is correct | 01:02 |
| diddledan | the block size of ext4 is 4k so 4*128 = 512 | 01:03 |
| diddledan | ref: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup#Options_for_mke2fs | 01:03 |
| diddledan | maybe while I'm rebuilding it I should butter it? | 01:04 |
| diddledan | what's the current consensus over btrfs? | 01:04 |
| diddledan | has there been a delay in getting wily release candidate out the door? | 01:42 |
| diddledan | or are we not doing rc's? | 01:42 |
| diddledan | the release schedule says it should have landed on thursday | 01:42 |
| diddledan | odd. this page contradicts that tho: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseTaskSignup | 01:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | oct 16 for release candidate according to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/05/ubuntu_15_10_beta_two_review/ | 02:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | maybe theyre counting with west coast usa time zone... | 02:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | still only 1925 there... | 02:25 |
| * diddledan watches the clock | 02:37 | |
| zmoylan-pi | you should get a soviet clock and you'd never be lonely again :-P | 02:58 |
| diddledan | in soviet russia, time clocks you (upside the head, then ties lead weights to your ankles, and throws you in the river) | 02:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | no no that's only if you touch their car... http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/16/russian-driver-throws-pedestrian-into-canal-for-touching-car | 03:01 |
| diddledan | (that's actually a paraphrase from Terry Pratchett referring to Ankh Morpork: "In some parts of the city, curiosity didn't just kill the cat, it threw it in the river with lead weights tied to its feet.") | 03:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | but in ankh morpork that would just slow the cat down as it tried to run across the surface... | 03:04 |
| diddledan | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeiI8cd5rO4 | 03:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | is it sad that i think the soviet pcs on this site look cooler than modern pcs... http://rbth.co.uk/multimedia/pictures/2014/04/07/before_the_internet_top_11_soviet_pcs_35711 | 03:46 |
| diddledan | lol | 03:47 |
| diddledan | yeah, but you like ancient tech as evidenced by your dumbphone fetish | 03:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | you say that like it's a bad thing :-) | 03:48 |
| diddledan | lol | 03:48 |
| diddledan | how do you expect to get hacked when you run obsolete technology that modern haxx0rs haven't even heard of?! | 03:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | they'll just at the 5.25" floppy and their malware laden usb drive :-D | 03:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | *just look | 03:49 |
| diddledan | I've got a 5.25" floppy drive hooked up to this pc | 03:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | kinky.... | 03:49 |
| diddledan | via usb | 03:49 |
| diddledan | :-p | 03:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | i remember around 2000 my boss issuing an edict to ditch every 5.25" drive in the office, we were done, no more 5.25". | 03:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | so we recycled the last 2-3 pcs that had them. | 03:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | the very next day i had to restore a backup from 5.25"... | 03:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | luckily i had hidden one under my desk.... :-) | 03:52 |
| diddledan | haha | 03:52 |

| directhex | paint it back is a paid picross game? | 09:02 |
| foobarry | anyone using cyanogen 12.1? | 10:00 |
| foobarry | have a couple of weird issues | 10:00 |
| foobarry | 1) receiving a call doesn't show the caller, just the dialler notification, and i have to double tap the notification to see who's calling. dailler is allowed to show notifications on my lock screen | 10:18 |
| foobarry | 2) random reboots while doing things while walking between wifi<->3g | 10:18 |
| SuperEngineer | Interesting.. tried the real nvdia [tested, not with updates] driver. Window moves / resizes were jerky, no real improvement in Steam games frame rate. Now back to using Nouveau. Life is good again. | 12:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | we need to get linus to send another message to nvidia? :-) | 12:15 |
| SuperEngineer | haha | 12:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | or for halloween we could get 50 geeks dressed as linus to stand outside their hq | 12:22 |
| SuperEngineer | YIKES! | 12:23 |
| SuperEngineer | Thinking of video stuff, what would stop working if I removed flash plugin, would Firefox be able to cope? | 12:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | probably go faster... :-) | 12:24 |
| SuperEngineer | Would poo-tube stioll work | 12:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | a lot of sites might get broken though... | 12:25 |
| SuperEngineer | darn! | 12:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | i thought they hadn't converted all their videos to html5 yet | 12:25 |
| SuperEngineer | that, unfortunately, is what | 12:26 |
| SuperEngineer | ...I thought as well | 12:26 |
| * zmoylan-pi wonders how old that nugget is... ::goes to check:: | 12:26 | |

| Azelphur | Hey folks, just installed Xubuntu 15.10, added xorg edgers and installed nvidia-340. It doesn't seem to be working. I get an error in xorg.log which isn't so useful. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12817788/ any ideas? | 12:46 |
| popey | looks like the driver didn't get built | 13:03 |
| Azelphur | I just realised 340 isn't the latest, I believe 352 is? trying with that as we speak | 13:04 |
| diddledan | did you reboot? | 13:04 |
| Azelphur | yup | 13:04 |
| diddledan | is dkms missing perhaps? | 13:05 |
| Azelphur | aha, 352 fixed it, my bad | 13:05 |
| diddledan | yey | 13:06 |
| Azelphur | I did apt-cache search nvidia and picked the newer one, for some reason the nvidia drivers show up in two separate groups in the results | 13:06 |
| Azelphur | I'm getting some real bizarre behaviour, I just got my new monitors in, I thought perhaps a fresh install would solve it but nope | 13:08 |
| Azelphur | I occasionally can't type at all on the login screen (so I can't login) and I have one monitor flickering on and off sometimes | 13:09 |
| Azelphur | I can't even ctrl+alt+F1, although I can alt+sysreq+b | 13:10 |
| Azelphur | woa I think I got it working, I had a brain wave and realised that I'd swapped out everything except one thing, the DP cable. | 13:51 |
| Azelphur | now everything seems to be magically working | 13:52 |
| DJones | Does anybody know how the Win 8.1>Win10 upgrade works in conjunction with grub? Does it remove the grub bootloader,or does it still leave the grub bootloader in place | 13:54 |
| m0nkey_ | yes it will | 13:54 |
| DJones | right, so grub reinstall is necessary | 13:55 |
| MooDoo | howdy all | 13:58 |
| * DJones hands MooDoo a cowboy hat, boots and sits him on a robo steer | 13:59 | |

| DJones | Oh yeah, its Wandering star | 14:05 |
| MooDoo | as soon as you said lee marvin, I knew what the song was :D | 14:05 |
| DJones | Heh | 14:05 |
| DJones | I don't if its my age, upbringing, or what, but this song always gets to me | 14:06 |
| DJones | Apart from that,I can't think of anything else he's know for singing | 14:07 |
| DJones | Even worse, I love the links from that youtube video | 14:08 |
| bashrc | is there any cdrom sized iso of ubuntu? | 14:35 |
| m0nkey_ | get the server ISO, then install the desktop task | 14:55 |
| bashrc | miniubuntu ftw | 15:14 |
| bashrc | I'm installing on an old laptop, which can't boot from USB or DVD, but can boot from cdrom | 15:15 |
| m0nkey_ | wtf? http://www.staples.ca/en/PlayStation-Plus-12-Month-Subscription-Card/product_1618694_2-CA_1_20001 | 15:43 |
| m0nkey_ | that doesn't make any sense | 15:43 |
| DJones | Where has the last 3 hours gone....youtube.....bluegrass music, Oh Yeah :) | 16:44 |
