[06:19] good morning everybody [06:23] Ahhh ,, great ,, the day crew is arriving . Hiya ducasse :) [06:25] heya ducasse [06:45] everybody good? :) [06:49] Just 'bout to the point of retirement for the evening . [06:50] go get some sleep, Bashing-om [06:51] soon .. see how what I left hanging .. works out .. no bad job left undone . [07:13] Still hang'n .. but no resolution in sight . gone gone is me :) [08:32] hello? [11:34] 'Morning all [11:40] wb BluesKaj, are you happy with the rpi3? i'm thinking of ordering one so i can use the rpi2 for experiments.. [11:42] :D [11:42] i solved the problem with my pi3 talking to my onkyo receiver, so it's a proper music streamer now [11:43] HI ducasse , I haven't formed an opinion yet ..not sure what I'm going to do with it next :-) [11:54] hi, daftykins - how's the soldering going? [11:54] \o [11:54] ah i've done nothing since that motherboards capacitors [11:54] BluesKaj: i use the rpi2 as a media box with openelec, would be nice with a bit more oomph though [11:54] i always hear the pi3 is a lot faster for Kodi but i wouldn't use one personally [11:55] i was thinking of replacing the rpi2 with a 3, and use the 2 for electronics tinkering [11:55] the rpi3 still won't do hevc, which is a drawback [11:56] ja [11:57] but then HDR capable HEVC has only just been birthed really, some low power device will turn up eventually [11:58] yes, the openelec people are sponsored by a company that makes one - wetek something, i think. looks nice, and has a proper remote and other things the rpi lacks. [11:58] yeah , already have kodi on this pc and it works well, no need for redundancy. I'm thinking of using the rpi3 as a pc/media system for my den..I still have an ethernet connection and monitor there [11:59] yay wired \o/ [11:59] ducasse: mmm i think they might even be kodi devs o0 or ex-devs [12:01] the openelec people are doing a good job, it does the job well. [12:02] nah that project died, they all moved to libreelec i heard [12:02] because openelec is way behind on the release front [12:03] news to me, last i heard was a new beta was coming? [12:03] also have an old unresueable pc that should be sent to recyling ..never seem to get around to throwing thjose things out [12:05] unrescueable even [12:05] :D [12:05] hoping to reduce my collection very soon [12:05] spellcheck here is hopeless [12:07] also have an old pc here i don't know what to do with, i've thrown out everything else. it quickly piles up :) [12:46] daftykins, oh btw I tried libreelec, seemed ok , but too retrictive for my taste ..probly a good tv box OS if that's all one needs it for [16:34] BluesKaj: oh yeah, i only really consider Kodi for dedicated HTPCs to be honest, a fully OpenGL 10 foot UI program for a desktop or laptop app makes no sense to me :> === pavlushka is now known as ahmed_bilal === ahmed_bilal is now known as pavlushka2 === pavlushka2 is now known as pavlushka === JanC is now known as Guest7844 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [18:53] ... https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/powershell-is-open-sourced-and-is-available-on-linux/ [18:59] and nobody will use it :D [18:59] bash > powershell [19:34] "ksft: " .. *me* bangs head on table again . [20:00] oh, he is on 14.04 with LTS stack [20:00] silly we didn't know [20:06] ohhh i love frankenstein-ubuntu [20:07] I see why HWE is a thing, but it sure does make support harder. [20:08] I assume 14.04 + xenial HWE = no fglrx? [20:09] dax: No .. we are Nvidia .. have ben trying for 2 days to get the GUI to load with proprietary drivers .. uh huh .. HWE bites us back .. seems like . [20:18] .. vmware.. [21:26] dax: yeah that's my deduction, due to the kernel version + x.org, but also you'll hit legacy status cards like a .nl fella we had in -uk earlier today [21:26] not quite sure why they come in for support :(
