| lotuspsychje | good morning to all | 04:16 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | Hiya lotuspsychje .. we can be in a easier state .. good help has arrived . | 04:20 |
| lotuspsychje | hehe | 04:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: did you know secureboot could block a wifi card? | 04:21 |
| lotuspsychje | i fixxed a HP notebook yesterday with a broadcom wifi chip, and secureboot made it recognized as it was 'unclaimed' before | 04:22 |
| Bashing-om | lotuspsychje: Nope ! .. Now that do not make a lot of sense . What in the world is common between WIFI and secure boot ??? | 04:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: seems like secureboot blocks 'unsafe' things | 04:24 |
| lotuspsychje | in my opinion its just a hiding game, so its harder to not use win | 04:24 |
| Bashing-om | Well .. another instance " just goes to show, never can tell " . | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | 16.04 has now built-in secureboot option to switch it off in install | 04:25 |
| Bashing-om | Oh for the days of a '57 Chevy . | 04:26 |
| Bashing-om | Wait ! Back then a computer was just a pipe dream .. I take that back :) | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 04:30 |
| ducasse | hi all | 07:17 |
| Bashing-om | I can feel the day crew comming on :) | 07:24 |
| ducasse | hi Bashing-om, any riots going on near you? ;) | 07:34 |
| Bashing-om | None that I am aware of presently ..come January ..might be a different story ... hummm . | 07:34 |
| ducasse | sad situation. are you getting some sleep soon? seems quiet atm. | 07:35 |
| Bashing-om | The sad thing was that we are, as a nation, in the position that we are in .. And yeah .. was in mind to pack it in for this session . | 07:38 |
| ducasse | how's your machine? did you fix the problem? | 07:39 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: Naw .. like sometimes happens .. went from bad to worse with the bios upgrade .. Got a new plan .. see how it works out to re-install to the SSD. Dis-connect the spinners, Pin Bios to default, and " set to optimized defaults" , repartition the SSD and install the xubuntu desktop . See how it functions without the spinners in the picture ( YUK) . | 07:44 |
| ducasse | yes, bios defaults might help. it's an odd problem, though... | 07:46 |
| Bashing-om | I do not jave a clue how untegrating the SSD messes with the firmware such that the partion tables on the spinners are messed up ( twice ! tested ) . Had to run fsck to even boot up the spinners .. and grub takes a real pounding .. now you tell me ... how ! | 07:47 |
| ducasse | intriguing. are the drives running in ahci mode? | 07:48 |
| Bashing-om | Well .. as this board only supports sata .. I do think so .. I can find no setting to make an adjustemnt . | 07:49 |
| ducasse | there's usually a bios setting that lets you choose raid, ahci and ide or something similar. | 07:51 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: Keep in mind this is a ABIT board from 2007 . Addressing a SSD would not even be a concept back then .. right ? | 07:51 |
| ducasse | shouldn't really matter - a drive is a drive, pretty much. aiui, anyway. | 07:52 |
| Bashing-om | yeah .. I do have the settings for raid ( had this system raided a few years back ) . and there is a bit about "block" mode for the hard drives to enable ot disable .. can not imagine I would disable block mode . | 07:53 |
| ducasse | as long as the drives are set to ahci i would think it should be fine, i don't really know what else to suggest... | 07:55 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: I am truely bamboozeled, I have now got my 14.04 minimal install booting with nomodeset ( graphic's card ) .. and 16.04 ubuntu desktop happy with the nouveau driver .. but I am sure that when I also connect the SSD will again drive the system insane . | 07:57 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: what kind of ssd is this? | 07:58 |
| Bashing-om | Samsung EVO 850 . | 07:58 |
| ducasse | have you tried upgrading the firmware on it? | 07:59 |
| Bashing-om | The real strange thing is that the OS installes just fine .. I have re-installed a number of times in differing configurations, and not once seen a problem with the install ! | 08:00 |
| ducasse | but when you start using it it blows up? | 08:01 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: I checked for firmware updates for it .. and none are offered .. there is for the 850 pro however . | 08:01 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: you need to download the samsung magician software and run it, it will grab the latest firmware. | 08:02 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: Well it freezes up and can not install a proprietary driver .. and when I attempt to boot back into the spinners .. ouch .. grub and the partition tables are messed up . | 08:03 |
| Bashing-om | Well .. sure can not hurt to burn the magician software and see what results .. Is a good thought . | 08:04 |
| ducasse | that makes no sense at all. i wonder what this could be... maybe the drive is possessed. | 08:04 |
| ducasse | i'd try the firmware upgrade, though, it could very well be the missing piece. i've got no other suggestions, anyway. | 08:06 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: also, if you can, try the ssd in a different machine. just to see how that behaves. | 08:08 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: Is a good thing ,, I will prior to the re-install .. as I really do want to re-partition to suit my use case . | 08:08 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: well, best of luck anyway :) let me know if i can help. | 08:13 |
| Bashing-om | Anyway .. gone to bed .. will sleep on it a dither some more for a solution . G nite .. thanks for holding my hand . | 08:13 |
| ducasse | :) | 08:15 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 11:50 |

| daftykins | what's new, BluesKaj ? | 11:51 |
| BluesKaj | Hi daftykins, not much, it's a bit early here, how about you? | 11:52 |
| daftykins | pretty quiet today, hiding in from the nasty weather (fast winds and rain the last few days) and doing some disc ripping for a client (music and DVD) | 11:53 |
| * BluesKaj nods | 11:54 | |
| BluesKaj | was mucking about with pihole dns adblock type resolver, think I have it working now on Zesty by installing cgi and php7 upgrades | 11:56 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 11:56 |
| daftykins | i'm happy with ublock origin in firefox :> | 11:56 |
| BluesKaj | this makes for faster surfing | 11:58 |
| daftykins | doubt there's much to be improved over the aforementioned addon | 11:59 |
| BluesKaj | I notice a difference on this old pc | 11:59 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 12:01 |
| daftykins | lots of variables to such a thing | 12:01 |
