| netritious | minasota: If I install the OS directly to USB, and the OS boots, runs normally, I should, and have, expected the OS to perform as if installed directly to internal storage. ALthough the thumbdrive will get hot. | 04:14 |
|---|---|---|
| netritious | BUT... | 04:14 |
| Omnifrog | .. | 04:17 |
| netritious | power management seems to be lacking sometimes in Live OS | 04:18 |
| netritious | many chars redacted lol | 04:18 |
| netritious | ...regardless of the media I boot the Live OS from. | 04:19 |
| netritious | howdy Omnifrog | 04:21 |
| Omnifrog | hi netritious | 04:21 |
| Omnifrog | I cant think of anything that could be the problem | 04:22 |
| netritious | I was pretty sure it was an old hardware kind of issue, where some drivers are just dropped because they aren't maintained and/or are too old to worry about, but I might be wrong. | 04:23 |
| Omnifrog | have you ever run that distro from a hard drive on that hardware ? | 04:24 |
| netritious | tails? no | 04:24 |
| netritious | I don't think you are supposed to? idk | 04:24 |
| netritious | maybe some people install it. | 04:24 |
| Omnifrog | well probably | 04:25 |
| Omnifrog | I've never played with it | 04:25 |
| netritious | but if my laptop was overheating from a live distro I would probably try to install it just to see what happens. | 04:26 |
| Omnifrog | did you look see what processes are running? | 04:27 |
| Omnifrog | did you try $top | 04:27 |
| netritious | Omnifrog of course. But when the fan is running wide open with an idle CPU, <512MB RAM utilization, and ssd? | 04:29 |
| netritious | ..or the fan /is not/ running...lol, or running at min speed while my CPU is peaking. | 04:30 |
| Omnifrog | is the air coming out of the fan exhaust actually hot when this happens? | 04:31 |
| netritious | I've experienced this more on old hardware than anything else though, and not recently. | 04:31 |
| netritious | depends | 04:32 |
| netritious | I've had different hardware act different ways with Live OS | 04:32 |
| netritious | this was originally an issue minasota had with a more recent laptop | 04:33 |
| netritious | *current | 04:33 |
| netritious | oh yeah, you were there for that :D | 04:33 |
| Omnifrog | does your bios have a cpu fan calibration option? | 04:34 |
| netritious | I honestly do not recall a BIOS that doesn't have it, at least in the past 7-10 years | 04:36 |
| Omnifrog | try that? | 04:36 |
| netritious | I'm sure I did at some point lol | 04:36 |
| netritious | not all BIOS confiruations "stick" when the OS boots....you know that | 04:37 |
| Omnifrog | I got no idea. this problem would drive me nuts if it were mine | 04:37 |
| netritious | *configurations | 04:37 |
| Omnifrog | I wouldn't give up untill it killed me though | 04:38 |
| Omnifrog | I HATE being defeated by hardware | 04:38 |
| netritious | eh I have a really old toshiba laptop that I keep around to remind me that sometimes no matter how hard you try it just won't work. | 04:39 |
| netritious | lol, me too Omnifrog! | 04:39 |
| Omnifrog | does it have a floppy drive on it? | 04:39 |
| netritious | not that old | 04:39 |
| netritious | although it was maybe five? six? years ago maybe I tossed a 486 DX4-100 compaq | 04:40 |
| netritious | finally | 04:40 |
| netritious | the toshiba I believe is 2003/2004 | 04:40 |
| netritious | it came from the factory with XP | 04:41 |
| Omnifrog | I have an old Toshiba 2065CDS I've been itching to try linux on | 04:42 |
| netritious | it ran ubuntu jaunty ok. Nothing has ran right on it since. | 04:42 |
| Omnifrog | it's got a win95/NT sticker on it | 04:42 |
| netritious | this is a tecra, but can't recall the model atm lol | 04:42 |
| netritious | nice :) | 04:42 |
| Omnifrog | complete with a floppy drive and a CD drive | 04:43 |
| netritious | NICE! Runs? | 04:43 |
| Omnifrog | not a single USB port to be found | 04:44 |
| Omnifrog | it does run! win95 | 04:44 |
| Omnifrog | not sure why 95 is on there | 04:44 |
| netritious | lol | 04:45 |
| Omnifrog | yard sale find | 04:45 |
| Omnifrog | I still have a 486 DX2 | 04:46 |
| Omnifrog | and an apple II | 04:46 |
| Omnifrog | oh, and a 286 | 04:46 |
| Omnifrog | not sure why I keep them | 04:47 |
| Omnifrog | the mice in the garage like their company I guess | 04:47 |
| netritious | nice. the last 286 I saw was .... 1995? yep, about right. Even then it was ancient. | 04:47 |
| netritious | lol | 04:47 |
| netritious | I had to get rid of my old stuff. I still have a lot but not nearly the amount I used to. | 04:48 |
| Omnifrog | my youngest childs first computer was that old 286 running win 3.11 in 2002 | 04:48 |
| Omnifrog | the 486 was his second machine | 04:48 |
| netritious | Those are very good to start IMHO | 04:49 |
| Omnifrog | he was 2 at the time, heheh | 04:49 |
| netritious | I gave my daughter my oldest hardware when she was 5 or so. Before that she sat in my lap and typed on Her keyboard (wasn't connected) | 04:50 |
| Omnifrog | at 4 years old I upgraded his rig to a 333mhz K5? | 04:51 |
| netritious | I used it to help her learn ABC's and 123's, and eventually to type properly heh | 04:51 |
| Omnifrog | dual boot | 04:51 |
| netritious | I did | 04:51 |
| Omnifrog | lol, geeks of a feather flock together | 04:51 |
| netritious | but it was an AMD K62 500Mhz, Socket 7 | 04:52 |
| netritious | so true Omnifrog :) | 04:52 |
| Omnifrog | I have a grand daughter now. she is going to be 3 in Feb | 04:53 |
| Omnifrog | she got her first computer at 2 | 04:53 |
| netritious | that's awesome Omnifrog! Congrats! | 04:53 |
| Omnifrog | I built it out of junk drawer stuff | 04:53 |
| netritious | Oh wait, I read that wrong lol | 04:53 |
| netritious | For some reason I read it as /will have grandaughter on Feb 3 lol | 04:54 |
| netritious | Omnifrog: did you use to DJ? | 04:55 |
| netritious | or do you still? | 04:55 |
| Omnifrog | I did | 04:55 |
| Omnifrog | but not now any more | 04:56 |
| Omnifrog | for a little more than 2 years | 04:56 |
| netritious | are your sets on soundcloud? | 04:56 |
| Omnifrog | no. I was on a game related station | 04:56 |
| Omnifrog | Kingdom Of Loathing | 04:57 |
| Omnifrog | I really didn't have "sets"as such | 04:58 |
| Omnifrog | it was total free form, almost all requests accepted, listener created bumps and content accepted | 04:59 |
| Omnifrog | the station really didnt have any rules for content or format | 05:00 |
| Omnifrog | other than the golden rule | 05:01 |
| Omnifrog | Dont Be A Dick | 05:01 |
| Omnifrog | all hail our patron saint Wil Wheaton | 05:02 |
| netritious | :) | 05:10 |
| netritious | I thought it might be electronic maybe, something I usually have on in the bg for white noise. | 05:29 |
