[08:05] <diplo> Morning all
[08:07] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[09:33] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[09:34] <moreati> A sanity check. Has _your_ Ubuntu laptop ever switched audio playback from internal speakers when you plugged in e.g. USB speakers/headphones?
[09:35] <moreati> I struggling to get a straight answer from Google over whether that's a feature Ubuntu supports
[09:37] <zmoylan-pi> my laptop has sound?! :-)
[09:49] <TwistedLucidity> moreati: I can't say I've ever actually tired. Might be a hardware thing. Which laptop/model?
[09:52] <TwistedLucidity> Just tried my Kubuntu desktop, it switches from speakers to headphones automagically, and that's with a (spit) Creative Labs card installed.
[09:53] <TwistedLucidity> Can't think why a lappy would be any different
[09:59] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:00] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Thursday, and happy Internet Day! 😃
[10:01] <zmoylan-pi> isn't every day internet day?
[10:01] <JamesTait> Also, happy Cat Day.  Totally coincidental, I'm sure.
[10:02] <zmoylan-pi> no no happy cat day conincides with laser pointer day... :-)

[10:24] <Myrtti> I wonder how much the sales of mini amplifiers has risen since the launch of Chromecast Audio
[10:47] <moreati> Good point by TwistedLucidity. I hadn't thought of speaker <-> headphones. Plugging in works: audio is rerouted from internal speakers -> headphones
[10:48] <moreati> Unplugging doesn't have the desired effect: audio is rerouted from headphones to S/PDIF out.
[10:52] <moreati> Think I'm starting to find the edge pieces of this problem, thank you all
[11:47] <awilkins> moreati, Last time I had a problem like that, I had to patch a kernel driver
[11:47] <awilkins> It was a problem in the "patch panel" code
[11:48] <awilkins> But I don't know where replugs are handled
[11:48] <moreati> awilkins: noted, thank you. I'll dig into when I have a dull afternoon.
[11:49] <moreati> ditto, expect it's a rabbit warren of libraries and abstrction layers
[12:17] <m0nkey__> yerp.
[12:25] <diddledan_> morning
[17:00] <bigcalm> Did anybody see what happened to my connection ealier?
[17:00] <bigcalm> earlier
[17:01] <popey> * bigcalm has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
[17:01] <popey> at 14:53
[17:02] <bigcalm> Thanks
[17:02] <bigcalm> When my connection goes away and I'm not at home, I fear the worst
[17:03] <bigcalm> Glad it came back :)
[17:38] <daftykins> :D
[17:39] <daftykins> i was away from England once, back on the island... when a disgruntled housemate decided to unplug my server from my switch
[17:39] <daftykins> that was highly irritating :P
[17:45] <bigcalm> Nasty
[17:50] <zmoylan-pi> if only someone would make a red dwarf skutter with a rasp pi... :-)
[17:50] <daftykins> you, sir!
[17:56] <daftykins> haha, the text colour change of "sudo apt update" stuck with my terminal when i had to break out of it
[18:01] <daftykins> anyone know if a wily HWE is coming anytime?
[18:04] <popey> Feb next year
[18:05] <popey> then another in august next year
[18:05] <daftykins> ah har, ty sir :)
[18:06] <popey> np
[20:24] <diddledan_> I managed to resurrect a bricked motherboard today \o/
[20:24] <diddledan_> it was dead due to a botched bios upgrade
[20:25] <daftykins> \o/
[20:25] <daftykins> is it still rubbish and old? ;)
[20:25] <diddledan_> lol
[20:25] <daftykins> in those situations can you not do the hotswap trick?
[20:25] <daftykins> boot a good system, throw it in, force a flash of the other ones BIOS
[20:25] <diddledan_> it's the most forward-looking of my boards with an EFI vs BIOS in all my others
[20:26] <daftykins> the hybrid thing directhex said to kill with fire?
[20:26] <diddledan_> nah, this one is a real one
[20:26] <diddledan_> I was running the hybrid thing in bios-only mode because this board was dead
[20:27] <diddledan_> I finally got around to figuring out how to use an SPI cable to reblow the chip from a different system
[20:28] <daftykins> \o/ did it look like a proper jerry rigged setup? :>
[20:28] <diddledan_> yup
[20:28] <diddledan_> cables dangling all over the shop
[20:28] <diddledan_> the cable I bought had the wrong-size connectors and everything
[20:29] <daftykins> dooooh
[20:29] <diddledan_> so I had four of the wrong-size for data and some extensions that I connected combined with a couple jumpers
[20:30] <diddledan_> it was fragile to say the least - one slight jog and it would have all come apart
[20:30] <diddledan_> I was holding my breath until the flashrom program said it was verified
[20:30] <diddledan_> I daren't have moved!
[20:31] <daftykins> XD
[20:33] <diddledan_> strangely my windows install is still activated despite the swapping to the different mobo (now that the mobo works I replaced the one I had running)
[20:34] <daftykins> give it time ;)
[20:34] <diddledan_> lol
[20:34] <diddledan_> yeah I'm expecting it to moan sooner or later
[20:34] <diddledan_> perhaps it's waiting until halloween before it moans?
[20:35] <diddledan_> I'll wake up in the night to my computer moaning at me
[20:35] <diddledan_> scary!
[20:35] <daftykins> :)
[20:35] <diddledan_> there's nothing scarier than a windows possessed :-p
[21:31] <daftykins> hmm, xbone streaming Halo 5 now hits 18Mb of throughput
[21:31] <daftykins> highest i've seen
[22:05] <diddledan_> ergh, that was a pain... protip, when installing a fancy cpu cooler, read the instructions before you apply the thermal compound. and also watch where those fat fingers wander after the compound is applied - I had to get a load off of my forehead
[22:05] <diddledan_> in unrelated news, my pc is quiet now
[22:06] <diddledan_> now. what windows prog can tell me my temperature?
[22:10] <diddledan_> cpu is current at about 25C
[22:14] <daftykins> XD
[22:14] <daftykins> diddledan_: www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
[22:14] <diddledan_> I went with openhardwaremonitor
[22:14] <daftykins> be sure to click 'More DOwnloads' at the top else it'll be full of gubbins
[22:14] <daftykins> this one's good as it reads the on-die thermy thingy ;)
[22:15] <diddledan_> thermite?
[22:15] <daftykins> :D
[22:16] <daftykins> would i trick you like that? yes... but only if i could video the result
[22:16] <diddledan_> lol
