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