[05:19] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[05:51] <ducasse> \o
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> hey ducasse
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> breakfast time here :p
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> laterzz
[06:09] <v3n0m> Okay, I have installed vine and I'm trying to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on it but it says that unable to locate the starting point.
[06:11] <ducasse> try #ubuntu, this is not a tech support channel
[09:05] <ducasse> hmmm... https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/53ri0m/warning_microsoft_signature_pc_program_now/
[12:15] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:08] <nicomachus> https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/53rq2l/warning_microsoft_signature_pc_program_now/
[14:08] <nicomachus> wow
[14:08] <nicomachus> Lenovo laptops with W10 "Signature Edition" are locking out the BIOS and completely preventing any linux installation.
[14:39] <ducasse> yes, posted that here earlier today. aiui, the bios locks the sata controller to a raid mode that requires custom drivers, with no option to switch it to ahci.
[14:42] <OerHeks> Europe does not allow that. lets see this progress ..
[14:43] <ducasse> was just about to say that, i doubt lenovo or others will try this here.
[14:45] <OerHeks> I think i got the clue, special intel processor with one core that is dedicated
[14:45] <nicomachus> OerHeks: the US doesn't either. It's called Tying.
[14:46] <OerHeks> next thing i hope is unlocked iphone capable of running ubuntu-touch :-D
[15:12] <nicomachus> OerHeks: I still haven't been won over by Ubuntu Touch.
[15:12] <nicomachus> I don't see the benefit over Android yet.
[15:14] <OerHeks> lack of new devices is playing part now, besides the community effort on other phones
[15:14] <OerHeks> no meizu 6, etc
[17:35] <DJones> OerHeks: Wonder how long it'll be before the troll gets removed
[17:35] <DJones> I have a short fuse
[17:35] <OerHeks> Never. unless ubuntu decides to put channelmode +r registered .. but then, still ..
[17:36] <OerHeks> I know how you feel, you are committed to help someone for free, with the bet honest answer you can find.
[17:43] <OerHeks> In amerika schiet het ook niet op .. ik bedoel, ze schieten wel veel op.
[17:44] <OerHeks> oops wrong channel
[17:47] <baizon> hehe
[17:49] <DArqueBishop> I don't know what you said, but whatever it was I would probably sadly agree with it.
[17:54] <OerHeks> We have a political talk about yearly budget, it sounds more like the comming election 2017.
[17:54] <baizon> amerika and shiet, thats what i did understand :D
[17:54] <OerHeks> now the masks fall off
[17:55] <OerHeks> schiet op = hurry up, but literally it says shoot up
[20:34] <nacc> so hard to tell if that is trolling...
[20:37] <OerHeks> so many lonely people
[20:39] <DArqueBishop> I think it's trolling.
[20:39] <DArqueBishop> Either that or his son is a gigantic asshole.
[20:41] <DArqueBishop> Yeah, troll.
[22:14] <OerHeks> pom pom pom
[22:35] <de-facto> Microsoft aren't forcing Lenovo to block free operating systems http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44694.html    http://imgur.com/a/niewu
[22:36] <de-facto> hmm sad to read that, i always thought Lenovo was supporting Linux, well seems that changed :(
[22:36] <OerHeks> removing the ssd, format it, and put it back?
[22:36] <de-facto> ..."In this specific case, Lenovo's firmware defaults to "RAID" mode and doesn't allow you to change that. Since Linux has no support for the hardware when configured this way, you can't install Linux (distribution installers will boot, but won't find any storage device to install the OS to)."...
[22:37] <OerHeks> oh
[22:37] <de-facto> the bios wont allow it
[22:37] <de-facto> good that i dont own such devices
[22:38] <OerHeks> it will be reversed engineered i guess
[22:38] <dax> i note that the "Lenovo rep" everyone's talking about is some contractor that answers questions on their forums
[22:39] <dax> which is not very solid credentials, as things go
[22:42] <de-facto> i also read that some lenovo devices wont allow you to exchange hardware (such as ssd/hdd/wlan) because they use some sort of signatures. not sure if that still applies, but if so certainly wouldnt be very user friendly
