[05:05] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> Bashing-om: the guys in #gamingonlinux recommended the latest nvidia drivers from ppa on GTX 9xx series
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> i asked because we having a flood again of users with black screens/login loops on 16.04 even clean installs
[05:09] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: I do go by what Nvidia recommends . and if problems .. bounce around a bit ,
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> Bashing-om: you mean recommended driver for specific card?
[05:59] <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...
[06:01] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: Nvidia drivers; My goto : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us for the mainline cards .
[06:02] <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
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> and even cant boot on nouveau either
[06:04] <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)
[06:05] <Bashing-om> For gamming .. and the cards to support .. sure .. latest is greatest .
[06:07] <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 .
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> Armadillos: morning
[06:15] <Armadillos> Evening for me.  Just switched back over to linux, now calling it a night. :)
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> morning EriC^^
[09:43] <Ben64> i'm wondering if theres a way to ban/mute/kick people who highlight 5+ people in a single line
[09:53] <EriC^^> morning lotuspsychje
[10:05] <daftykins> wow i'm dusting off my old 1GB RAM sony ultraportable from uni time ~2007 to be this new VPN server XD
[10:14] <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
[12:10] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:10] <daftykins> \o
[12:11] <BluesKaj>  hey daftykins,
[12:42] <EriC^^> @comment 1 bla
[12:42] <EriC^^> @comment 1
[14:20] <OerHeks> torrents up 196.1 gb .. come on, i want to reach 200 gb
[16:50] <de-facto> yay the fedora ppl patched easystroke so it compiles again on cpp11 :)
[16:51] <lotuspsychje> :p
[16:52]  * de-facto is totally addicted to mouse gestures on his desktop
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> wb
[17:02] <Billly> Wbar do you think about implementing a safety measure for dangerous Linux commands
[17:03] <daftykins> it exists, called sudo
[17:03] <lotuspsychje> Billly: the user is responsible for doing stuff to his system
[17:04] <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.
[17:06] <Billly> But there wont be any warnings.
[17:07] <Billly> Especially for new users who don't even know what sudi is
[17:07] <hggdh> well. There *is* a warning.
[17:08] <Billly> There are scripts that can easily run the command
[17:09] <Billly> All it has to ask for is a passwoto install software xyz
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <hggdh> of course, if you add an alias to 'rm' to pass '--no-preserve-root', then you are on your own
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> did billy went on a vacation?
[17:29] <dax> he got bored and left
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> oh
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> well at least we got him out ubuntu
[17:30] <lotuspsychje> my login window on xenial has now an email icon, anyone noticed that?
[17:31] <lotuspsychje> perhaps notification of the unsolved bug from previous session
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> !info xchat precise
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <lotuspsychje> should i be ashamed? :p
[17:55] <dax> i've never heard of it either, except for xchat's package description
[17:56] <dax> oh, it's some amiga thing, that would be why
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> ahh
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> amiga500...those where the days
[17:57] <daftykins> probably a relic from LjL :P
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <dax> in 10 years... "what's an X-Chat"
[18:00] <lotuspsychje> haha
[18:02] <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
[18:09] <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?
[18:10] <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?
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <daftykins> *nod*
[18:22] <lotuspsychje> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/index.html
[18:22] <lotuspsychje> nice one
[18:25] <lotuspsychje> lol
