| R13ose | Hi | 10:33 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 10:41 |
| R13ose | Hi | 13:49 |
| lotuspsychje | good afternoon to all | 13:52 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome Roy | 13:57 |
| Roy | thanks lotuspsychje | 13:58 |
| lotuspsychje | !info linux-image-generic xenial | 14:09 |
| 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 | 14:09 |
| R13ose | This is happening to me again: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60 I was using Firefox so only happened in there. | 14:09 |
| lotuspsychje | R13ose: ive seen softpedia article, kde plasma users were urged to reinstall | 14:11 |
| lotuspsychje | perhaps related? | 14:11 |
| R13ose | lotuspsychje: reinstall because? | 14:11 |
| Roy | Huh? !info gives information about a package in a cirtain repo? | 14:11 |
| daftykins | because it's nearly Christmas! \o/ | 14:11 |
| daftykins | (not really) | 14:11 |
| lotuspsychje | R13ose: lemme refind article holdon | 14:12 |
| lotuspsychje | R13ose: not sure if this is your case ok | 14:13 |
| lotuspsychje | http://news.softpedia.com/news/kde-neon-users-urged-to-upgrade-their-systems-or-reinstall-the-linux-distro-510183.shtml | 14:13 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 14:15 |
| R13ose | How do I upgrade to KDE 5.8? | 14:15 |
| daftykins | what a mess | 14:16 |
| daftykins | ask in #kubuntu | 14:16 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah good idea | 14:16 |
| daftykins | quick google says "you have to install KDE Neon to use the latest version" | 14:17 |
| R13ose | Thanks | 14:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Roy: yes, ubottu shows info about packages from several ubuntu versions and their used repo | 14:21 |
| R13ose | daftykins: can I ask in #ubuntu as well? | 14:28 |
| daftykins | -_- | 14:28 |
| R13ose | -_- | 14:29 |
| daftykins | the topics of a channel tell you what they are for. | 14:30 |
| R13ose | ok | 14:30 |
| lotuspsychje | hey BluesKaj | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | hi lotuspsychje | 14:39 |
| lotuspsychje | BluesKaj: <R13ose> This is happening to me again: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60 I was using Firefox so only happened in there. | 14:45 |
| lotuspsychje | perhaps you might know? | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | lotuspsychje, sorry I haven't seen that before on FF | 14:54 |
| lotuspsychje | no sweat | 14:54 |
| daftykins | we were last told it was on multiple browsers | 15:00 |
| R13ose | this is multiple browsers but I tend to use firefox more these days. | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | lotuspsychje, I tried chromium as well, couldn't replicate | 15:03 |
| daftykins | intel woes + bad choice of laptop | 15:08 |
| R13ose | Yet, I didn't seem to have problems with Gnome at all. Yet, this has happened in KDE. | 15:20 |
| daftykins | time to switcheroo | 15:22 |
| Roy | <Roy> I tried to configure bumblebee last week. But I didn't succeed. Now I'm using nvidia-prime. | 15:24 |
| Roy | <Roy> Do any of you use nvidia optimus based laptops? | 15:24 |
| Roy | I don't think those came trough since I switched to vpn before I sent those, did they? | 15:24 |
| daftykins | no, but this isn't a support channel | 15:25 |
| daftykins | bumblebee hasn't been relevant for many years, you should be looking at nvidia-prime | 15:25 |
| Roy | daftykins, thank you. | 15:27 |
| Roy | In that case, I don't even need to find support anymore. It seems to work okay using nvidia-prime. :) | 15:28 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 15:29 |
| daftykins | heh | 15:29 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | Roy | 15:29 |
| ubot5` | Roy: Glad you made it! :-) | 15:29 |
| * daftykins blows the end of his gun and holsters it | 15:29 | |
| daftykins | most everyone with optimus gets video tearing still, it's simply not good on Linux | 15:29 |
| R13ose | what is normally talked about here? | 15:35 |
| Roy | I haven't found a serious problem concerning screentearing while playing two games today on the nvidia profile. | 15:35 |
| lotuspsychje | R13ose: ubuntu discussions | 15:36 |
| R13ose | like? | 15:36 |
| lotuspsychje | R13ose: discussions about ubuntu :p | 15:37 |
| Roy | I'm running Ubuntu Gnome on my new xiaomi notebook air 13" | 15:37 |
| R13ose | do many people use Ubuntu on macs? | 15:37 |
| lotuspsychje | Roy: use #ubuntu for issues | 15:37 |
| Roy | Quite suprised about how nice everything runs. | 15:37 |
| daftykins | i thought they only did cheap exploited phones | 15:37 |
| daftykins | (xiaomi) | 15:38 |
| lotuspsychje | R13ose: many ubuntu lovers do, if their mac version can run ubuntu | 15:38 |
| R13ose | can't all macs run ubuntu? | 15:38 |
| daftykins | not well, no | 15:38 |
| lotuspsychje | !mac | 15:38 |
| ubot5` | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 15:38 |
| Roy | They make all kinds of things, even smart bicycles. | 15:38 |
| daftykins | and the wiki above is an outdated mess | 15:38 |
| daftykins | hah | 15:39 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: think they edited lately, but surely not real up to date :p | 15:39 |
| OerHeks | daftykins, amdgpu 1.230 will get better http://news.softpedia.com/news/open-source-amdgpu-and-radeon-linux-drivers-bring-tearfree-dri3-by-default-510302.shtml | 15:40 |
| OerHeks | or 1.20 | 15:40 |
| daftykins | ah i was mostly talking tearing on nvidia optimus hybrid setups | 15:41 |
| DJones | daftykins: Must admit, that optimus seems to work fine for me with intel/Nvidia 750M, maybe I'm the lucky one | 15:57 |
| DJones | I've not had any issues with tearing, saying that I leave nvidia on all the time, I don't bother swiotching between the two | 15:58 |
| lotuspsychje | weird invention, to disable a better graphics card | 16:00 |
| lotuspsychje | who not just make it low mode or something if your not a gamer | 16:00 |
| lotuspsychje | *why | 16:00 |
| lotuspsychje | bbl | 16:07 |
| daftykins | DJones: you can't switch in some setups, depends if it's muxing or muxless - also we're talking fullscreen games for tearing, so do you do that? :) | 16:10 |
| Roy | DJones, Do you also use nvidia-prime? | 16:21 |
| Roy | Oh, I see. I want my batterylife to be okay, I don't always have my charger by hand. | 16:22 |
| DJones | Roy: Yes I do | 16:22 |
| Roy | With Bumblebee, I could get 7+ hours browsing the web. With the gpu completely disabled. | 16:23 |
| DJones | My laptop is permantaly on power anyway | 16:23 |
| daftykins | great way to murder the battery :) | 16:25 |
| Roy | I think it's better to stay connected to power to preserve battery cycles. | 16:26 |
| daftykins | that's not how it works | 16:27 |
| daftykins | typically, staying tethered and continually staying at top charge eventually murders the entire cell pack | 16:28 |
| daftykins | very very common thing. | 16:28 |
| Roy | Ah, that's true. | 16:31 |
| daftykins | i tend to tell clients to remove the battery if a machine won't move... but then it's rare that i'll be up against those that don't move that are running a laptop thankfully :) | 16:33 |
| Roy | My MacBook (2011) still has it's original battery. Still lasts for 5 hours on a charge. | 16:34 |
| Roy | But, I use it during transit. It's only on charger when I'm working. (09:00 - 17:00) | 16:35 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 16:42 |
| daftykins | a travelling businessman client of mine, his laptops last great until we move him to a new one, then practically overnight the old model will cease to hold a charge | 16:42 |
| daftykins | well, feels overnight but it's probably more like 3 months going by :D | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | my 3yr old laptop battery lasts about 3 hrs, tops | 16:43 |
| Wirehunter | I switched username from Roy to something I can register :) | 16:55 |
| daftykins | that asus sandybridge i5 i sold was from 2011, that kept going for 8hrs even as i sold it | 16:55 |
| daftykins | i think the mate that bought it got a good deal there | 16:55 |
| daftykins | £250 for i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD | 16:55 |
| Wirehunter | /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Wirehunter uiqhgruftehk | 16:59 |
| Wirehunter | Oops | 17:00 |
| daftykins | publically logged channel ;) but i don't remember if anything in that is important | 17:01 |
| daftykins | think it's fine, but always best to use the status window | 17:01 |
| OerHeks | it is no password,just the confirmationcode | 17:02 |
| daftykins | yarr | 17:05 |
| === pavlushka is now known as SweetVenom | ||
| Wirehunter | I did the registration itself to the server. (I'm using hexchat) But now I didn't think about that anymore. :/ | 17:06 |
| === SweetVenom is now known as pavlushka | ||
| OerHeks | Wirehunter, i can see it worked, congrats | 17:07 |
| lotuspsychje | dinnertime, laterz guys | 17:08 |
| Wirehunter | OerHeks, Thanks | 17:10 |
| daftykins | now you can configure SASL authentication :) | 17:11 |
| Wirehunter | Ah, thanks for pointing that out. | 17:17 |
| OerHeks | oh wait, i forgot that after reinstall .. | 17:19 |
| OerHeks | done | 17:20 |
| daftykins | since it sends your password over plaintext though, you'll want to connect to freenode by SSL | 17:21 |
| OerHeks | I know, i am a high target, etc | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | wicked | 17:22 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:22 |
| daftykins | well the above was for Wirehunter too ^ | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | 3 attempts/minute on oerheks@ubuntu.com ... no, just joking | 17:23 |
| daftykins | now you typed it out in a logged channel the bots are gonna spam it! | 17:24 |
| nicomachus | OerHeks: target value doesn't matter anymore. You could just be another bot in the net | 17:26 |
| nicomachus | ugh. my wifi is cutting out like every 30 secs. | 17:46 |
| daftykins | o0 | 18:14 |
| daftykins | failing router? | 18:14 |
| nicomachus | daftykins: don't think so. It's here at the office, so I'm just gonna call IT. | 18:15 |
| daftykins | ah | 18:16 |
| daftykins | makes me cringe hearing how folk in the office are on wireless :( | 18:16 |
| nicomachus | well my desktop is wired and connected to the intranet | 18:17 |
| daftykins | friend of mine that's a software dev for a huge dev firm in Houston is trying to do MS Azure performance testing... they got their wired connections taken away ;_; | 18:17 |
| nicomachus | but we also have a wireless AP that is a separate network for personal devices. In this case, my laptop. | 18:17 |
| daftykins | oh you get given both? that's handy, also keep hearing about businesses that provide laptops only | 18:17 |
| daftykins | oh it's personal only? | 18:17 |
| nicomachus | and the wireless network doesn't have access to intranet sites or any connection to the main network. so less locked-down in terms of security. | 18:18 |
| nicomachus | which means I can actually SSH into my home server without sending up a flag for IT to call me and inquire about. | 18:18 |
| daftykins | did you get far with the VT-d thing? | 18:18 |
| nicomachus | yea once I enabled that it worked fine. | 18:19 |
| nicomachus | took a bit to find the option in the BIOS though | 18:19 |
| daftykins | oh so it wasn't even passworded? i thought that was why you hadn't done it | 18:19 |
| nicomachus | you know, for how strict they are at some aspects of security, they are incredibly lax when it comes to individual machines. | 18:21 |
| nicomachus | I shouldn't be able to boot from USB or change BIOS settings or probably even install a VM without admin approval, but here we are. | 18:21 |
| daftykins | i truly thought you were only wrestling last week because the BIOS was locked down | 18:21 |
| nicomachus | no I just didn't wanna reboot at the time. haha | 18:22 |
| daftykins | holy crap, man - you shock me | 18:22 |
| nicomachus | haha why? | 18:22 |
| daftykins | so are you still going down that insane VM route instead of just discovering the Windows tools? | 18:22 |
| nicomachus | no, I'm just bringing in my laptop and using that for a lot of stuff. | 18:22 |
| daftykins | >_< | 18:23 |
| daftykins | nicomachus: is it dev you do? | 18:26 |
| nicomachus | daftykins: no. nothing IT related. | 18:27 |
| daftykins | ah | 18:27 |
| daftykins | definitely pretty weird them not locking things down, i do it even for my travelling biz client | 18:28 |
| nicomachus | oh well. Not much risk from our type of office. | 18:28 |
| daftykins | nah given they've gotta get past the physical security to get in anyway, all bets would be off | 18:28 |
| nicomachus | physical security is VERY strong. haha | 18:33 |
| daftykins | cor proper rain again here, somehow it's turning to ice on the roof | 18:34 |
| nicomachus | this SSL error in Chromium is starting to get very annoying. | 18:53 |
| nicomachus | http://i.imgur.com/oqXtumW.jpg | 18:54 |
| daftykins | someone the other day said the next version sorts it | 19:05 |
| daftykins | but that it's probably not in the repos yet | 19:05 |
