[15:57] <EriC^^> hey guys
[15:58] <ducasse> hi EriC^^
[20:04] <Bashing-om> Here I be again - all rested up and ready to try and go at it again :) Hoz our neighborhood ?
[20:05] <daftykins> yay \o/ welcome back
[20:06] <Bashing-om> It is - IMO - a blessing to be here . Good day daftykins  ?
[20:07] <daftykins> yep thanks! second phone sold today, so slowly thinning out the stock :)
[20:09] <Bashing-om> :) The good thing about living on a Island ( or in a small community ) is that every one knows very ones amd knows where to get it .
[20:10] <daftykins> thankfully it's not quite that bad here, but there's definitely a 1 degree of separation thing going on
[20:12] <Bashing-om> Uh Huh .. And I was never prepared to participate in that other 1 degree . It does not enter in what I can control .
[20:13] <daftykins> :>
[20:13] <daftykins> just nipping down a restaurant, back later :)
[21:22] <EriC^^> finally took a couple night pics daftykins ducasse

[23:11] <daftykins> EriC^^: nice!
[23:11] <daftykins> what's the big dark diagonal line i see in the last shot?
[23:13] <nicomachus> looks like powerlines maybe?
[23:15] <daftykins> strikes me as sea level, possibly a breakwater?
[23:16] <daftykins> hrmm just fired up this old file server and seem to have lost 2 of the 8 disks since last power on XD two degraded
[23:16] <daftykins> data doesn't matter, just considering seeing the disks slowly pop
[23:18] <pauljw> :)
[23:19] <daftykins> currently 3% rebuilding!
[23:19] <daftykins> i only fired it up to wipe another old 250GB SATA disk i have to add to my donations pile :>
[23:21] <pauljw> i did my best "daftykins" imitation today, replaced an lcd, upgraded from 1 to 2GB RAM and swapped out a win drive for an ubuntu 250G drive.  this was an old Acer AspireOne netbook.
[23:21] <ubot5`> Error: Ubuntu bug 250 could not be found
[23:21] <daftykins> oh no a netbook! :D
[23:21] <daftykins> ah i'm proud of you sir, lots of work there
[23:22] <daftykins> any dramas with the process?
[23:22] <pauljw> :D
[23:23] <pauljw> no, it went quite smoothly other than not noticing the access door had hooks on one edge, not snaps, so i had to take it back off and slide the hooks in place.
[23:24] <pauljw> i was most concerned about the lcd having never messed with one, that took about 10 minutes to replace.
[23:24] <wafflejock> pauljw, yeah they are surprisingly easy most of the time, hinges/cable routing aside
[23:24] <daftykins> ah har, big enough to have screws in perhaps?
[23:24] <daftykins> oh hey wafflejock o/
[23:25] <wafflejock> hey daftykins
[23:25] <wafflejock> still no luck on the HDMI and I have to face palm thought the thing had a display port out too but it doesn't that's on my desktop card where the HDMI is fine
[23:25] <pauljw> yes, once the cover gets unsnapped, there are 4 screws
[23:26] <daftykins> wafflejock: it sounds nuts but did you consider another cable?
[23:26] <wafflejock> I went as far as grabbing the latest drm-intel-nightly and got that to build and run through some miracle but didn't help... I did find a hdmi.c file in there that seems to do the HDMI magic but I don't understand the standard or any of it well enough to debug
[23:26] <wafflejock> daftykins, yeah well using this cable on other computers I haven't tried another with that computer though
[23:26] <daftykins> nah if stock 'buntu doesn't work, there's more drama at play
[23:26] <wafflejock> it's worth a shot I tried everything else :)
[23:27] <daftykins> yeah i've been surprised before
[23:53] <wafflejock> daftykins, well I just got a ton of strange results
[23:54] <wafflejock> daftykins, so I tried with another HDMI cable, same deal
[23:55] <wafflejock> I tried with a HDMI on the computer -> DVI on the monitor and that seemed to look fine, so I tried with one of the HDMI -> HDMI again and it was broken, back to the HDMI -> DVI still broken... unplug and replug VGA and it works with the HDMI->DVI, tried doing the same with the HDMI straight through but stays crazy looking regardless with 2 hdmi cables
[23:56] <wafflejock> long story short if I have the HDMI->DVI and I do some voodoo it actually works with 2 displays looking totally fine.... not sure I can call that solved really but it's some sort of clue
[23:57] <daftykins> is that with some kind of adapter, or a cable that's solely HDMI on one end and DVI at the other?
[23:57] <wafflejock> yeah just 1 cable with different ends
[23:57] <daftykins> i'd possibly shine a light in at the HDMI connector on yonder laptop and see whether anything looks quirky
[23:58] <wafflejock> yeah I may take it apart and see if anything looks funky around how the port is soldered on the board but doesn't seem to react at all to wiggling when it's working or not working it's "stable" in the state it's in
[23:59] <wafflejock> seems like something strange happens maybe with monitor detection or something, basically unplugging and replugging the VGA while the HDMI -> DVI is in seems to effect it at least in a few tries
[23:59] <daftykins> i was just thinking the pins on the tiny little sandwich in the middle of the socket
