G nite [12:45] Hiyas all [12:47] \o [12:50] hey daftykins [17:23] good evening to all [17:25] \o [17:25] cor thrice in one day [17:25] hehe [17:25] was my day off [17:25] ah har [17:26] all my usb's are done, formatted in ntfs [17:26] o0 [17:26] why not a delightfully cross-platform FS? :) [17:27] well alot of customers i know still use win boxes [17:27] and the 4gig limit of fat32 i dont like [17:28] they are black keyholder usb's of 8gig [17:28] trying out quassel irc client again...now im know why i don't like it [17:28] hex to the rescue :p [17:28] i know why [17:29] nope, back to konversation [17:29] lol [17:31] exFAT works just dandy though :> [17:32] daftykins: does all usb drives support it? [17:33] don't need hardware support for a file system, as that's only logical access [17:33] heya lotus :-D [17:34] hey hey OerHeks [17:34] and daftykins ofcourse [17:34] OerHeks: hows the seeding going? [17:34] who won the battle? [17:34] oh, stopped seeding a week ago, lubuntu and xubunto are in the top 3 [17:34] nicely [17:35] :D [17:35] i've seen some stuff i seed go at my new speed of 1.1MB/sec, it's ace :D [17:35] lubuntu 16.04 is fantastic for sure [17:37] !budgie [17:44] my findings are that 16.10 is more stable than 16,04 ...maybe it;s the KDE/plasma DE at fault in my case, not sure [17:46] BluesKaj: alot of good things we here of 16.10 kernel [17:47] *hear [17:47] lotuspsychje, yes, that's a possibility too [17:48] running 4.8.0-27-generic [17:50] anyway , it's time to rake more leaves ..BBL [17:51] kk [18:08] hrmm gonna be April 2018 before i care again ;D [18:12] anyone used 32 bit *buntu lately? [18:13] what's up? [18:13] does it even exist still? [18:13] yep still alive [18:13] trying to install a VM on this new work PC so I can actually get some stuff done instead of using Windows all day, but I can't get to the BIOS to enable vt-d, so I have to use a 32-bit OS... as far as I can tell [18:14] is the host OS 32-bit? [18:14] no. 64 bit Windows 7 [18:14] i always thought it could only virt the same arch on the guest [18:15] without the function, i mean [18:15] /¯_(ツ)_/¯ [18:15] so what's actually happening? [18:15] it just won't let me select a 64 bit option in vbox. [18:15] and wouldn't let me boot a 64 bit iso [18:16] is it just locked down by your workplace for the BIOS access bit? [18:16] I think the only issue I'd have with 32 bit is Chrome, because they stopped maintaining 32 bit, but I don't need Chrome for it. I can use the browser on the host OS [18:16] daftykins: yea. Haven't actually tried, but I'm almost sure that accessing the BIOS would get some sysadmin somewhere verrry upset with me. [18:16] i find it a bit shocking you can't just tame Windows to your liking :> [18:17] er well why don't you just ask for it to be switched on? [18:17] the people that make those decisions are very far away from where I am. [18:18] still, i think it better to pick up the phone and try before messing about too much [18:22] anywho yeah no VT-d is no doubt why it's 32-bit only [18:22] so i guess it's the other way around, can't do 64 on a 64 [18:22] meh, I may call [18:23] i mean if the work you want to do is pretty intensive on resources, then it's going to be so much slower virting 32-bit [18:23] it's not. mostly just irssi. haha [18:23] wat [18:23] 99% of it's use will be just SSH'ing to my home PC [18:24] and KiTTY isn't good enough? [18:24] I'd rather just tunnel into my screen session. and then be able to access all the media and docs on that PC too. [18:25] right, with WinSCP [18:25] sure it's not exactly native when under Windows, but it's super duper easy to the point where running an entire other OS solely to get to things is a bit extreme [18:26] i mean, i'm typing from irssi right now from a Windows box - via SSH in KiTTY [18:27] yea but I don't know how to use windows. lol [18:28] XD [18:28] i didn't wanna infer it but... ;) [18:28] it's handy to be able to get a few things done across each of the main OSs [18:29] I can get a few things done on Windows, but the command line is just... different. [18:29] I like my bash terminals. [18:29] well sure, but that's where PuTTY and KiTTY come in [18:29] i prefer the latter since it does URL parsing, so i can still click links in irssi here on Windows [18:30] like, right now I can't figure out how to safely remove my external HDD [18:30] little green icon in the system tray, you ideally want to go into the taskbar properties and disable any icon hiding in the tray [18:30] I click on it and nothing happens though. right or left click. [18:30] well, personal preference that bit [18:31] well it would come up with a list of devices that can be safely removed if any are available [18:31] if it doesn't present as one, e.g. like a phone over MTP, then it wouldn't be there [18:31] actually that might be a bad example - can't remember if the 5x comes up as safely removable when over MTP regardless [18:32] man I hate windows. [18:33] no, you hate being out of your depth :) [18:33] lol [18:33] is there a CLI way of doing this? [18:33] umount or something? [18:33] do you get any option on the context menu of this drive in the 'computer' view? [18:33] honestly not seen an external drive behave like this before, is it just USB 2.0 / 3.0 ? [18:34] It's 3.0 [18:34] you could always remove the drive letter allocation from disk management, super+R -> diskmgmt.msc [18:34] that'd be as good as unmounting [18:34] and it shows it as E: in the My Computer view [18:34] so nothing on the context menu there huh? [18:37] it's weird because it looks like there's some ghost icons in the system tray: http://i.imgur.com7AKl3x.jpg [18:39] dead link even with the slash put in? [18:42] Meanwhile, the sage continues ? Bacckkkk after my bit of R&R . [18:45] wb sir! how are you today? [18:46] daftykins: sorry. http://i.imgur.com/7AFKl3x.jpg [18:46] nicomach1s: ah, probably more a symptom of being attached to a corporate domain [18:47] only time i've seen that it's been one or two - and either a broken program or they've disappeared on hover [18:50] daftykins: I am well, cuase I am here .. you ? [19:13] Bashing-om: :D excellent, yep i'm great! the guy just came to take all my donations so it is done at last \o/ [19:13] i am several laptops, a desktop and many accessories lighter [19:17] A ha .. A better distribution network ! . Me I am a trash lord .. I can not forsee what I "might" pull out of the rust pile ( outside storage ). [19:18] daftykins, good, i'll send you a fresh pile [19:18] D: nooooo [19:44] * Rarrikins (~Rarrikins@gateway/tor-sasl/rarrikins) has joined your brother daftykins ? [19:44] lol [19:45] haha [19:45] nah i've just ex-communicated mine [19:45] secretly spying on main [20:00] bbl guys [20:00] have a nice one [20:12] !info linux-image-generic xenial [20:12] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.0.47.50 (xenial), package size 2 kB, installed size 12 kB [20:49] daftykins: I think I killed windows. [20:51] I had my External HDD plugged in when I rebooted and forgot it had a bootable iso on it on a small partition... so the PC tried to boot that. I hit the power button, and then unplugged the HDD. Now Windows is trying to do "Startup Repair" :( [20:56] ah, it's booting again. [21:02] nicomach1s: Had a similar experience yesterday with my daughter's laptop .. 5 hours later to get it restored - I do not do Windows ( how many times do I have to say that >) . Next time she will get (L)ubuntu back !
