| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: you mean recommended driver for specific card? | 05:09 |
| lotuspsychje | http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/unity-8-won-t-be-the-default-desktop-session-for-ubuntu-16-10-yakkety-yak-503631.shtml | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | what a soap... | 05:59 |
| Bashing-om | lotuspsychje: Nvidia drivers; My goto : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us for the mainline cards . | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: well for the GTX 9xx series that doesnt work, it recommends the 361 | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | and we getting tons of users with black screens/login loops | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | and even cant boot on nouveau either | 06:03 |
| Bashing-om | lotuspsychje: Yeah, have had a couple of instances where 361 failed .. and 364 was good . | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | so the guys from gamingonlinux suggest latest driver from ppa | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | yep 364 | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | they say always latest drivers for the most recent hardware | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | (if driver is stable enough) | 06:04 |
| Bashing-om | For gamming .. and the cards to support .. sure .. latest is greatest . | 06:05 |
| Bashing-om | And heres Nvidia, here we go again .. I gonna leave that with you lotuspsychje and call it a night . | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | haha | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | nite nite mate | 06:07 |
| Bashing-om | Nighty take care . | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Armadillos: morning | 06:13 |
| Armadillos | Evening for me. Just switched back over to linux, now calling it a night. :) | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | morning EriC^^ | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | i'm wondering if theres a way to ban/mute/kick people who highlight 5+ people in a single line | 09:43 |
| EriC^^ | morning lotuspsychje | 09:53 |
| daftykins | wow i'm dusting off my old 1GB RAM sony ultraportable from uni time ~2007 to be this new VPN server XD | 10:05 |
| EriC^^ | dax: why dont you write some script that insta-bans someone if he highlights more than 4 nicks | 10:14 |
| EriC^^ | would get the flooding down to 1 line if it's quick enough i suppose | 10:14 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:10 |
| daftykins | \o | 12:10 |
| BluesKaj | hey daftykins, | 12:11 |
| EriC^^ | @comment 1 bla | 12:42 |
| EriC^^ | @comment 1 | 12:42 |
| OerHeks | torrents up 196.1 gb .. come on, i want to reach 200 gb | 14:20 |
| de-facto | yay the fedora ppl patched easystroke so it compiles again on cpp11 :) | 16:50 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 16:51 |
| * de-facto is totally addicted to mouse gestures on his desktop | 16:52 | |
| lotuspsychje | wb | 16:55 |
| Billly | Wbar do you think about implementing a safety measure for dangerous Linux commands | 17:02 |
| daftykins | it exists, called sudo | 17:03 |
| lotuspsychje | Billly: the user is responsible for doing stuff to his system | 17:03 |
| Billly | What's the point of antivirus then | 17:04 |
| OerHeks | billy-the-troll, that rm line does not work on ubuntu without sudo :-D | 17:04 |
| Billly | Okay so that's already a safety measure. | 17:04 |
| Billly | But there wont be any warnings. | 17:06 |
| Billly | Especially for new users who don't even know what sudi is | 17:07 |
| hggdh | well. There *is* a warning. | 17:07 |
| Billly | There are scripts that can easily run the command | 17:08 |
| Billly | All it has to ask for is a passwoto install software xyz | 17:09 |
| hggdh | for the record, 'rm' has had, for years, the default of '--preserve-root'. As such, when 'rm -rf /' is run, it will ask if you relly want to trash your system | 17:17 |
| hggdh | of course, if you add an alias to 'rm' to pass '--no-preserve-root', then you are on your own | 17:18 |
| lotuspsychje | did billy went on a vacation? | 17:26 |
| dax | he got bored and left | 17:29 |
| lotuspsychje | oh | 17:29 |
| lotuspsychje | well at least we got him out ubuntu | 17:29 |
| lotuspsychje | my login window on xenial has now an email icon, anyone noticed that? | 17:30 |
| lotuspsychje | perhaps notification of the unsolved bug from previous session | 17:31 |
| lotuspsychje | !info xchat precise | 17:49 |
| ubot5 | xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.8-3ubuntu12.1 (precise), package size 345 kB, installed size 869 kB | 17:49 |
| dax | i always liked the "similar to AmIRC" bit | 17:54 |
| dax | i wonder if more than like 5 people have ever found that comparison useful | 17:54 |
| lotuspsychje | i dont even know that one | 17:54 |
| lotuspsychje | should i be ashamed? :p | 17:55 |
| dax | i've never heard of it either, except for xchat's package description | 17:55 |
| dax | oh, it's some amiga thing, that would be why | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | ahh | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | amiga500...those where the days | 17:56 |
| daftykins | probably a relic from LjL :P | 17:57 |
| dax | lol | 17:58 |
| daftykins | it's about time Hexchat were said to be like xchat, then nothing for xchat :> | 17:58 |
| dax | nah, it's from Debianland way back in the day | 17:58 |
| daftykins | hmm? xchat? | 17:59 |
| daftykins | i just mean based on the lack of updates making it more dead | 17:59 |
| dax | was replying to the relic comment | 17:59 |
| dax | !info hexchat | 17:59 |
| ubot5 | hexchat (source: hexchat): IRC client for X based on X-Chat 2. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.10.2-1ubuntu3 (xenial), package size 330 kB, installed size 932 kB | 17:59 |
| dax | in 10 years... "what's an X-Chat" | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | haha | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 18:02 |
| EriC^^ | not if i can help it | 18:02 |
| EriC^^ | ii xchat 2.8.8-7.3ubuntu1 | 18:02 |
| lotuspsychje | the new xchat maintainer :p | 18:02 |
| lotuspsychje | dax: can you explain why #ubuntu doesnt allow colors, we were discussing this earlier | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | less laggy on much users? | 18:09 |
| dax | because people use them to be annoying | 18:09 |
| dax | same reason most channels have them disabled | 18:09 |
| daftykins | and #ubuntu hardly needs more ways to troll | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | dax: just that reason? | 18:09 |
| dax | i assume so, it's never been discussed as far as i know | 18:10 |
| lotuspsychje | wasnt there an option in the ircd config also to disable colors? | 18:10 |
| lotuspsychje | i thought it was about performance or something? | 18:10 |
| dax | i don't know how it would have a performance impact, colors are just extra characters interpreted specially by clients | 18:11 |
| dax | you still have the 512-character limit as usual | 18:11 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 18:11 |
| lotuspsychje | dax: so with 2000 users using colors, wouldnt crash something | 18:11 |
| dax | no | 18:12 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 18:12 |
| dax | freenode servers are, in general, massively underprovisioned | 18:12 |
| dax | and colors aren't interpreted on the server anyway | 18:12 |
| lotuspsychje | i see | 18:12 |
| dax | and i doubt rendering text in blue instead of black or whatever is gonna crash clients | 18:12 |
| daftykins | i was trying to ask one of the staffers what would be required to donate a server, the other day | 18:13 |
| lotuspsychje | dax: we were discussing syntax highlithing as an idea, for support commands | 18:13 |
| daftykins | kinda sounded like a VPS would even be enough | 18:14 |
| dax | daftykins: the criteria are at https://freenode.net/support , in case they didn't link that already | 18:14 |
| daftykins | yes, i had already read that | 18:14 |
| dax | multi-homed networking tends to be the stumbling block | 18:14 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 18:15 |
