| kais3n | One question. I testing currenlty 16.04. Currently there is a problem with encypted disk on the boot. The function itself works but you don't see the prompt. Where should I report that? | 06:44 |
|---|---|---|
| craysiii | darkxst are you running 16.04 on a real machine? | 19:09 |
| HoppingMadMan | Hey, everyone, I was just wondering if anyone can point me to somewhere I can jump in and help out the Ubuntu-Gnome project out | 20:47 |
| darkxst | craysiii, yes, have been running it on my main machine since last year | 21:08 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved/JoinUs | 21:09 |
| craysiii | do you think i should wait for official release to install? | 21:15 |
| HoppingMadMan | Thanks darkxst | 21:15 |
| darkxst | craysiii, no, its stable enough now, and feature freeze is this week, so shouldnt go breaking | 21:17 |
| craysiii | then i will wait until next week :) | 21:17 |
| craysiii | lol | 21:17 |
| darkxst | why wait? | 21:20 |
| craysiii | im going to order another SSD and make it my /home | 21:24 |
| craysiii | do you think 64gb should be enough for linux install itself | 21:32 |
| HoppingMadMan | craysiii I have a 64gb SSD and it is ok, but if I had the money I would have gone with something with more space | 21:33 |
| craysiii | well im planning on having 64GB / , 256GB /home , and a 1TB storage hdd | 21:35 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah that will do, I would if I could maybe go for a 120GB | 21:36 |
| darkxst | 64GB is plenty for / | 21:36 |
| HoppingMadMan | Speaking on SSD, I was reading that if they are not booted in awhile they can die, now I am not up on SSD but, dose this hold any truth | 21:38 |
| craysiii | ??? | 21:38 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, no | 21:38 |
| craysiii | that would be nuts | 21:38 |
| HoppingMadMan | Ok, thanks guys, I read that and was like what... That can't be true | 21:39 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah it dose seem nuts | 21:40 |
| HoppingMadMan | Just asking I am not up on my knowledge on SSD, Going to have to start as I am setting up my business, and I want to offer SSD in my our servers for clients | 21:41 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, its possibly true in the long-term, like if its not powered on for years | 21:47 |
| HoppingMadMan | Oh ok, yeah its just my server back in Australia hasn't been powered on in about 3 years now and it has a SSD as its main drive, and heading back there in a few months and I think I might have to buy a new SSD | 21:48 |
| craysiii | i would prob buy new ones anyway | 21:54 |
| darkxst | it wouldnt physically be dead | 21:54 |
| darkxst | but at some point an SSD will forget what is stored on it | 21:54 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah going to have to buy a lot of stuff, new laptop is on top of the list | 21:55 |
| craysiii | i really recommend samsung evo or pro ssd | 21:55 |
| craysiii | and so does most of the internet | 21:55 |
| HoppingMadMan | Ok, keep that in mind thanks | 21:56 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah, got any good recommendation for Linux Laptop that is newish and runs Linux with not much tweaks? | 21:57 |
| craysiii | i haven't one myself but i've heard good things about system76 | 22:01 |
| HoppingMadMan | Problem with that is no shipping to Australia and if you can they charge lots | 22:01 |
| craysiii | hm | 22:02 |
| craysiii | most laptops are honestly crap, i would use a desktop but i understand if you need mobility | 22:03 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, I tend to stick with thinkpads | 22:05 |
| darkxst | but these days most laptops will work fine, you will likely only hit issues if you buy one that is super new | 22:05 |
| craysiii | yeah lenovo is good but im personally butthurt because their custom SLI config in my laptop isn't supported by linux | 22:05 |
| craysiii | :P | 22:06 |
| darkxst | craysiii, there is no SLI support on linux at all | 22:07 |
| craysiii | uhh | 22:08 |
| craysiii | im pretty sure there is? | 22:08 |
| darkxst | the driver supports it, but little to no software can actually utilize it on linux | 22:11 |
| craysiii | right, you need to construct the profile yourself | 22:11 |
| craysiii | but what im saying is the driver didn't support mine | 22:12 |
| craysiii | anyway since it didn't work, i was forced to use just 1 gpu, which made it kinda pointless, so i was forced to windows, but since i hate windows i just dont use it anymore | 22:13 |
| craysiii | what version of the linux kernel is 16.04 running? | 22:56 |
| darkxst | craysiii, 4.4 | 23:48 |
| darkxst | 4.5 will be released too late to make it in | 23:49 |
