theblazehenhi Xethron 07:36
magespawngood morning07:54
theblazehenhi magespawn 08:03
magespawnhey theblazehen 08:06
theblazehenhttp://i.imgur.com/BJ1m5Xw.jpg I quite like my setup :) 5 Displays08:28
theblazehen1024x768 + 1366x768 + 1600x900 + 1366x768 + 1024x76808:28
TinuvaMactheblazehen: great word doc you have open there08:44
TinuvaMacsome super secret info08:44
theblazehenTinuvaMac: heh, yeah.. Studying for finals08:46
andrewlsdhope theblazehen has patented that so no one else can procreate that way.08:58
pieter2627theblazehen: you still have subjects left?09:50
theblazehenpieter2627: yeah, most of them. Only wrote likt 5 or 6 exams so far09:50
pieter2627wow, we were done by now09:51
theblazehenI'm in a private school, so write a bit later09:55
Xethrontheblazehen: What do you use to get so many screens? USB adapters?09:56
pieter2627haha, last year they said your in private so will write earlier09:56
* pieter2627 was also in private (homeschool)09:56
theblazehenXethron: nah, I'm using my intel onboard for the main rendering, outputs to VGA and HDMI, then a GTX550Ti set as a RandR output slave with 2x DVI and then a GT210 with 1x VGA output09:57
theblazehenpieter2627: huh, weird09:57
XethronMeh :/ I'm looking for something to increase my displays of my laptop09:58
theblazehenOnboard faster than my dedicated GPU :/ Although I did get it for free as a "broken" gpu. Runs with nouveau but not nvidia09:58
theblazehenXethron: If the USB one supports displaylink then it should work afaik09:58
XethronLaptop luckly has 2 outputs, and its screen. So I can have 3. But would like another one or two :P09:58
XethronI haven't heard good things with Linux and those USB adapters09:59
XethronSo not sure if its worth trying09:59
theblazehenYeah, I think for my laptop 3 should be fine :)09:59
theblazehenYeah, you need to use the modesetting drivers etc09:59
XethronSounds like effort10:00
theblazehenUsing intel onboard? I find intel has best support ofr offloading10:00
XethronI'll wait for USB-C10:00
theblazehenYeah, I once had a 6 display setup, running a virtual display and connecting my laptop with vnc :)10:00
theblazehenYeah, hopefully that works better. Although I think that standard is displaylink though?10:01
XethronIntel CPU yes, NVIDIA GPU10:01
theblazehenAh, nvidia gpu.. Could cause problems. Using nouveau or nvidia driver?10:01
theblazehenMy setup won't work with nouveau as the main display10:02
XethronI don't use the propriatary drivers10:02
theblazehenAMD is worse than nvidia though.. Had my HD5450 swapped out for a GT21010:02
XethronThey always seem to cause issues10:02
theblazehenYeah, same here. Luckily the intel GPU drivers are great10:02
magespawni use a VGA splitter with four outputs10:02
pieter2627Isn't USB-C just a form factor (no new standards)10:03
XethronYeah, seems to be xserver-xorg-ideo-nouveau10:03
theblazehenpieter2627: I think it might just be a new form factor, but there are also going to be new standards or something?10:03
Xethronpieter2627: USB-C is like that Apple thing10:03
XethronWhats that wire new iphones have10:04
XethronAnd the Apple screens use?10:04
theblazehenXethron: Won't work unless you try it I guess.. You don't have an old desktop at home10:04
theblazehenXethron: iphone: lightning, think displays are thunderbolt?10:04
XethronYes, thunderbolt10:04
XethronApple is also dropping all its Thunderbolt technology in favour of USB-C10:05
magespawnso not technically four screens10:05
theblazehenmagespawn: Different from the ones that have 4 duplicate screens? That's what they have at school.. 10:06
magespawnit is a duplicate, then i just extend the desktop rather than duplicate it, work like a projector10:07
magespawncheap and nasty10:07
magespawnbut works no matter what laptop i plug in10:08

theblazehen^What happens when you realize conky has a line length limit10:24
andrewlsdlol10:24
theblazehenCould save 2 characters if i used 'seq 1 5' instead of the '1 2 3 4 5', ah well. Got it small enough now10:25
andrewlsdSimilar results with: for i in {1..5} 10:25
andrewlsd(applies to bash, YMMV with other envs)10:26
theblazehenyeah, forgot about that.. saves 1 char more than my seq solution. ty10:26
theblazehenactually no, since seq would need to be surrounded by ` or with $()10:26
theblazehenSo yours saves 3 characters10:33
andrewlsd;-)10:33
andrewlsdanyone here looked at "snappy-desktop" or managed to get Unity8 ?  11:01
andrewlsdI tried the unity8-lxc  session, but it didn't ever build successfully11:02
andrewlsdbasically, I just want a ISO/USB that I can boot from and test drive.11:02
theblazehenhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8DesktopIso This? 11:16
theblazehenGot it from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8Desktop11:16
andrewlsdtheblazehen: thanks. that link is from 2014, and the "daily live" link is dead13:25
andrewlsdregarding UDS: Am I correct that the sessions start 16h00 SA time?13:31

Kiloshi Guest9474 21:12
Kiloswhats happening gremble 21:12
grembleHey Kilos 21:12
Kiloswhy is it not doing irc21:12
grembleI don't know21:12

Kilosya but you shouldnt need to hassle like that21:15
Kilosirc works easy normally21:15
grembleKilos: I agree. At least it has given me the opportunity to learn about SSL certificates and got me thinking about implementing a toy messing app that uses UDP instead of TCP21:16
Kilosok21:16
grembleHow have you been Kilos?21:16
Kilosive been good ty, just tired21:16
