[17:23] <lotuspsychje> good evening to all
[17:25] <daftykins> \o
[17:25] <daftykins> cor thrice in one day
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> hehe
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> was my day off
[17:25] <daftykins> ah har
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> all my usb's are done, formatted in ntfs
[17:26] <daftykins> o0
[17:26] <daftykins> why not a delightfully cross-platform FS? :)
[17:27] <lotuspsychje> well alot of customers i know still use win boxes
[17:27] <lotuspsychje> and the 4gig limit of fat32 i dont like
[17:28] <lotuspsychje> they are black keyholder usb's of 8gig
[17:28] <BluesKaj> trying out quassel irc client again...now im know why i don't like it
[17:28] <lotuspsychje> hex to the rescue :p
[17:28] <BluesKaj> i know why
[17:29] <BluesKaj> nope, back to konversation
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> lol
[17:31] <daftykins> exFAT works just dandy though :>
[17:32] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: does all usb drives support it?
[17:33] <daftykins> don't need hardware support for a file system, as that's only logical access
[17:33] <OerHeks> heya lotus :-D
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> hey hey OerHeks
[17:34] <OerHeks> and daftykins ofcourse
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: hows the seeding going?
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> who won the battle?
[17:34] <OerHeks> oh, stopped seeding a week ago, lubuntu and xubunto are in the top 3
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> nicely
[17:35] <daftykins> :D
[17:35] <daftykins> i've seen some stuff i seed go at my new speed of 1.1MB/sec, it's ace :D
[17:35] <lotuspsychje> lubuntu 16.04 is fantastic for sure
[17:37] <lotuspsychje> !budgie
[17:44] <BluesKaj> 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] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: alot of good things we here of 16.10 kernel
[17:47] <lotuspsychje> *hear
[17:47] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje, yes, that's a possibility too
[17:48] <BluesKaj> running 4.8.0-27-generic
[17:50] <BluesKaj> anyway , it's time to rake more leaves ..BBL
[17:51] <lotuspsychje> kk
[18:08] <daftykins> hrmm gonna be April 2018 before i care again ;D
[18:12] <nicomach1s> anyone used 32 bit *buntu lately?
[18:13] <daftykins> what's up?
[18:13] <nicomach1s> does it even exist still?
[18:13] <daftykins> yep still alive
[18:13] <nicomach1s> 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] <daftykins> is the host OS 32-bit?
[18:14] <nicomach1s> no. 64 bit Windows 7
[18:14] <daftykins> i always thought it could only virt the same arch on the guest
[18:15] <daftykins> without the function, i mean
[18:15] <nicomach1s> /¯_(ツ)_/¯
[18:15] <daftykins> so what's actually happening?
[18:15] <nicomach1s> it just won't let me select a 64 bit option in vbox.
[18:15] <nicomach1s> and wouldn't let me boot a 64 bit iso
[18:16] <daftykins> is it just locked down by your workplace for the BIOS access bit?
[18:16] <nicomach1s> 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] <nicomach1s> 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] <daftykins> i find it a bit shocking you can't just tame Windows to your liking :>
[18:17] <daftykins> er well why don't you just ask for it to be switched on?
[18:17] <nicomach1s> the people that make those decisions are very far away from where I am.
[18:18] <daftykins> still, i think it better to pick up the phone and try before messing about too much
[18:22] <daftykins> anywho yeah no VT-d is no doubt why it's 32-bit only
[18:22] <daftykins> so i guess it's the other way around, can't do 64 on a 64
[18:22] <nicomach1s> meh, I may call
[18:23] <daftykins> 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] <nicomach1s> it's not. mostly just irssi. haha
[18:23] <daftykins> wat
[18:23] <nicomach1s> 99% of it's use will be just SSH'ing to my home PC
[18:24] <daftykins> and KiTTY isn't good enough?
[18:24] <nicomach1s> 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] <daftykins> right, with WinSCP
[18:25] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> i mean, i'm typing from irssi right now from a Windows box - via SSH in KiTTY
[18:27] <nicomach1s> yea but I don't know how to use windows. lol
[18:28] <daftykins> XD
[18:28] <daftykins> i didn't wanna infer it but... ;)
[18:28] <daftykins> it's handy to be able to get a few things done across each of the main OSs
[18:29] <nicomach1s> I can get a few things done on Windows, but the command line is just... different.
[18:29] <nicomach1s> I like my bash terminals.
[18:29] <daftykins> well sure, but that's where PuTTY and KiTTY come in
[18:29] <daftykins> i prefer the latter since it does URL parsing, so i can still click links in irssi here on Windows
[18:30] <nicomach1s> like, right now I can't figure out how to safely remove my external HDD
[18:30] <daftykins> 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] <nicomach1s> I click on it and nothing happens though. right or left click.
[18:30] <daftykins> well, personal preference that bit
[18:31] <daftykins> well it would come up with a list of devices that can be safely removed if any are available
[18:31] <daftykins> if it doesn't present as one, e.g. like a phone over MTP, then it wouldn't be there
[18:31] <daftykins> actually that might be a bad example - can't remember if the 5x comes up as safely removable when over MTP regardless
[18:32] <nicomach1s> man I hate windows.
[18:33] <daftykins> no, you hate being out of your depth :)
[18:33] <nicomach1s> lol
[18:33] <nicomach1s> is there a CLI way of doing this?
[18:33] <nicomach1s> umount or something?
[18:33] <daftykins> do you get any option on the context menu of this drive in the 'computer' view?
[18:33] <daftykins> honestly not seen an external drive behave like this before, is it just USB 2.0 / 3.0 ?
[18:34] <nicomach1s> It's 3.0
[18:34] <daftykins> you could always remove the drive letter allocation from disk management, super+R -> diskmgmt.msc
[18:34] <daftykins> that'd be as good as unmounting
[18:34] <nicomach1s> and it shows it as E: in the My Computer view
[18:34] <daftykins> so nothing on the context menu there huh?
[18:37] <nicomach1s> it's weird because it looks like there's some ghost icons in the system tray: http://i.imgur.com7AKl3x.jpg
[18:39] <daftykins> dead link even with the slash put in?
[18:42] <Bashing-om> Meanwhile, the sage continues ? Bacckkkk after my bit of R&R .
[18:45] <daftykins> wb sir! how are you today?
[18:46] <nicomach1s> daftykins: sorry. http://i.imgur.com/7AFKl3x.jpg
[18:46] <daftykins> nicomach1s: ah, probably more a symptom of being attached to a corporate domain
[18:47] <daftykins> 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] <Bashing-om> daftykins: I am well, cuase I am here .. you ?
[19:13] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> i am several laptops, a desktop and many accessories lighter
[19:17] <Bashing-om> 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] <OerHeks> daftykins, good, i'll send you a fresh pile
[19:18] <daftykins> D: nooooo
[19:44] <lotuspsychje> * Rarrikins (~Rarrikins@gateway/tor-sasl/rarrikins) has joined your brother daftykins ?
[19:44] <lotuspsychje> lol
[19:45] <daftykins> haha
[19:45] <daftykins> nah i've just ex-communicated mine
[19:45] <lotuspsychje> secretly spying on main
[20:00] <lotuspsychje> bbl guys
[20:00] <lotuspsychje> have a nice one
[20:12] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic xenial
[20:12] <ubot5`> 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] <nicomach1s> daftykins: I think I killed windows.
[20:51] <nicomach1s> 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] <nicomach1s> ah, it's booting again.
[21:02] <Bashing-om> 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 !
