| bekks | GeekDude: SCSI2 (aka 50 pin) isnt compatible downwards to a parallel port (aka 25 pin). | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| bekks | GeekDude: Totally different technologies. | 00:13 |
| GeekDude | bekks: Was hoping that wasn't the case. I'm looking into getting a PCI card for it | 00:17 |
| GeekDude | I wonder though why such a cable was even manufactured | 00:17 |
| bekks | GeekDude: You need to get a SCSI card with an external connector. There is SCSI2 and mini SCSI2, but there are adapters for it. | 00:17 |
| GeekDude | I've got a C50m to HD50m (SCSI2) cable | 00:19 |
| GeekDude | Finding the PCI card for it is looking to be the more difficult part | 00:19 |
| bekks | Took less than 10s: http://www.amazon.com/Adaptec-SCSI-2-Adapter-1-34-3-AHA-2940UW-HP/dp/B0045JMSKM/ | 00:20 |
| GeekDude | and how many pins there? | 00:21 |
| bekks | Count'em - SCSI2, 50 pins, mini connector. | 00:22 |
| bekks | Err no, no mini connector. | 00:22 |
| bekks | Investing more than 5 bucks for that old scanner is just a waste of money. | 00:22 |
| GeekDude | Looks like 68 pins | 00:22 |
| GeekDude | And you're probably right | 00:23 |
| GeekDude | I do a lot of things because I can though | 00:23 |
| GeekDude | bit of a hobby | 00:23 |
| bekks | More like an archeologist, using ancient technologies :P | 00:23 |
| GeekDude | I've got a CRT manufactured in the same year as that scanner. I use it as my main TV, with a rasplex pi hooked up to it | 00:24 |
| GeekDude | I've also got a desktop hooked up to it through an s-video to coax converter box | 00:24 |
| GeekDude | Managed to get an iMac G3 running debian, but one of the RAM sticks went bad so now it runs very, very slowly | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | Wow, good job on that. | 00:25 |
| bekks | Did all that too - a decade ago ;) | 00:25 |
| GeekDude | Thing is stupidly hard to netboot | 00:25 |
| GeekDude | managed it after a few hours one long night | 00:26 |
| GeekDude | this was ~2 years ago IIRC | 00:26 |
| GeekDude | I chose fluxbox instead of xfce though | 00:26 |
| ryclik_ | Hey guys. I accidentally deleted my partition table on my main disk. In effort to restore it I was wondering if anyone knows where the Ubuntu default partition sizing is documented? | 01:27 |

| mitsurugi77 | hello | 17:18 |
| mitsurugi77 | I'm from Spain and thanks for supporting | 17:18 |
| mitsurugi77 | I have some doubts about h264 gpu aceleration | 17:19 |
| mrkramps | mitsurugi77, doubts like it is not working? | 17:20 |
| mitsurugi77 | yes it's working but with some problems, i will try to explain the best as i can | 17:20 |
| mitsurugi77 | sorry my english is not good | 17:20 |
| mrkramps | mitsurugi77, there should be a spanish support channel | 17:21 |
| mrkramps | i guess #ubuntu-es | 17:21 |
| mitsurugi77 | my graphic card is: ati radeon hd 4340 | 17:21 |
| mitsurugi77 | xubuntu version: 15.10 | 17:22 |
| mitsurugi77 | i have installed mesa drivers for use vdpau gpu aceleration | 17:23 |
| mitsurugi77 | sudo apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers | 17:23 |
| mitsurugi77 | video players used: vlc and kodi | 17:23 |
| mitsurugi77 | h264 gpu aceleration works, but i have some glitches | 17:24 |
| mitsurugi77 | same in all media players i have tried | 17:24 |
| mitsurugi77 | it's dificult to explain the glitches, sometimes misframing | 17:26 |
| mitsurugi77 | i'm almost sure it could be a driver problem or configuration in driver... | 17:27 |
| mitsurugi77 | do you know what can i do? | 17:27 |
| mrkramps | mitsurugi77, libvdpau1 also installed? | 17:29 |
| mitsurugi77 | umm i'm not sure | 17:30 |
| mitsurugi77 | i have only installed mesa-vdpau-drivers | 17:31 |
| mitsurugi77 | i could try install libvdpau1 | 17:31 |
| mrkramps | mitsurugi77, sudo apt-get install libvdpau1 vdpauinfo | 17:31 |
| mrkramps | then run vdpauinfo in terminal to check if everything's supported properly | 17:32 |
| mitsurugi77 | ok, thank you very much | 17:33 |
| mitsurugi77 | i will try it when i arrive home | 17:33 |
| mitsurugi77 | :) | 17:33 |
| mrkramps | mitsurugi77, another question is which dirver you are using | 17:33 |
| mrkramps | free radeon or proprietary fglrx | 17:34 |
| mitsurugi77 | i only use: sudo apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers | 17:34 |
| mitsurugi77 | propietary is not compatible with my old graphic card | 17:34 |
| mitsurugi77 | free i suppouse | 17:34 |
| mrkramps | argh, that's true of course … sry | 17:34 |
| mitsurugi77 | its quite strange, because image runs fine but aleatory shows some defects | 17:36 |
| mitsurugi77 | i have been reading in archwiki: AMD Radeon HD 4000 series and newer GPUs are supported by the libvdpau-va-gl package together with the libva-xvba-driverAUR package. It uses the catalyst-utilsAUR driver for Radeon HD 5000 series and newer, and catalyst-total-hd234kAUR for Radeon HD 4000 series. | 17:37 |
| mitsurugi77 | but my linux distribution is xubuntu, so maybe this will not good | 17:37 |
| mrkramps | vdpau for free radeon driver, xvba-va for fglrx | 17:37 |
| mitsurugi77 | yes i'm using vdpau | 17:38 |
| mrkramps | and there are some exceptions in the HD 4000 series | 17:38 |
| mrkramps | but HD 4340 should work | 17:38 |
| mitsurugi77 | yes it works, but not fine | 17:38 |
| mrkramps | mitsurugi77, have you tried mplayer or mpv? | 17:38 |
| mitsurugi77 | only kodi and vlc | 17:39 |
| mrkramps | afaik wether kodi nor vlc support hardware decoding by default | 17:39 |
| mitsurugi77 | vdpau is working because my cpu is a pentium 4 | 17:39 |
| mitsurugi77 | and videos runs smooth, but sometimes show glitches | 17:40 |
| mrkramps | it is not a question of hardware, but as far as i know vlc and kodi do not support hardware decoded video playback | 17:40 |
| mrkramps | at least not without some additional configuration | 17:41 |
| mitsurugi77 | but they support vdpau | 17:41 |
| mitsurugi77 | vdpau gpu aceleration | 17:41 |
| mitsurugi77 | if i set on in options, is working | 17:41 |
| mrkramps | propably my information source got a bit old then | 17:42 |
| mitsurugi77 | i will try another players also, for discard | 17:42 |
| mitsurugi77 | maybe could dissapear the problems installing libvdpau1, i will try it this night, thanks!! | 17:44 |
| mitsurugi77 | good by | 17:54 |
| mitsurugi77 | good bye | 17:54 |
| v2528 | xrandr settings not sticking with lightdm's display-setup-script | 19:11 |
| v2528 | i simply need $xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of VGA-0 to be permenant | 19:11 |
| v2528 | i'm using Xubuntu | 19:12 |
| v2528 | the normal extension for multiple screen is buggy with Radeon/Mesa drivers, it offsets one of my display 3840 rather than 1920 | 19:14 |
| czeslaw | Hi ! I have a question. I don't want to see disks on my desktop but I want to see CD ROM when I put CD. If i go RclickMouse > Desktop Settings I can hide all disks but with cd rom too | 19:46 |
