[02:46] Do not !... https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/11/17/do-not-change-linux-files-using-windows-apps-and-tools/ [02:47] platinum members care about linux [04:00] This is happening to me again: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60 [04:02] bbl === JanC_ is now known as JanC [10:33] Hi [10:41] Hiyas all [13:49] Hi [13:52] good afternoon to all [13:57] welcome Roy [13:58] thanks lotuspsychje [14:09] !info linux-image-generic xenial [14:09] 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] This is happening to me again: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60 I was using Firefox so only happened in there. [14:11] R13ose: ive seen softpedia article, kde plasma users were urged to reinstall [14:11] perhaps related? [14:11] lotuspsychje: reinstall because? [14:11] Huh? !info gives information about a package in a cirtain repo? [14:11] because it's nearly Christmas! \o/ [14:11] (not really) [14:12] R13ose: lemme refind article holdon [14:13] R13ose: not sure if this is your case ok [14:13] http://news.softpedia.com/news/kde-neon-users-urged-to-upgrade-their-systems-or-reinstall-the-linux-distro-510183.shtml [14:15] hrmm [14:15] How do I upgrade to KDE 5.8? [14:16] what a mess [14:16] ask in #kubuntu [14:16] yeah good idea [14:17] quick google says "you have to install KDE Neon to use the latest version" [14:18] Thanks [14:21] Roy: yes, ubottu shows info about packages from several ubuntu versions and their used repo [14:28] daftykins: can I ask in #ubuntu as well? [14:28] -_- [14:29] -_- [14:30] the topics of a channel tell you what they are for. [14:30] ok [14:39] hey BluesKaj [14:39] hi lotuspsychje [14:45] BluesKaj: This is happening to me again: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60 I was using Firefox so only happened in there. [14:45] perhaps you might know? [14:54] lotuspsychje, sorry I haven't seen that before on FF [14:54] no sweat [15:00] we were last told it was on multiple browsers [15:03] this is multiple browsers but I tend to use firefox more these days. [15:03] lotuspsychje, I tried chromium as well, couldn't replicate [15:08] intel woes + bad choice of laptop [15:20] Yet, I didn't seem to have problems with Gnome at all. Yet, this has happened in KDE. [15:22] time to switcheroo [15:24] I tried to configure bumblebee last week. But I didn't succeed. Now I'm using nvidia-prime. [15:24] Do any of you use nvidia optimus based laptops? [15:24] I don't think those came trough since I switched to vpn before I sent those, did they? [15:25] no, but this isn't a support channel [15:25] bumblebee hasn't been relevant for many years, you should be looking at nvidia-prime [15:27] daftykins, thank you. [15:28] In that case, I don't even need to find support anymore. It seems to work okay using nvidia-prime. :) [15:29] lol [15:29] heh [15:29] !yay | Roy [15:29] Roy: Glad you made it! :-) [15:29] * daftykins blows the end of his gun and holsters it [15:29] most everyone with optimus gets video tearing still, it's simply not good on Linux [15:35] what is normally talked about here? [15:35] I haven't found a serious problem concerning screentearing while playing two games today on the nvidia profile. [15:36] R13ose: ubuntu discussions [15:36] like? [15:37] R13ose: discussions about ubuntu :p [15:37] I'm running Ubuntu Gnome on my new xiaomi notebook air 13" [15:37] do many people use Ubuntu on macs? [15:37] Roy: use #ubuntu for issues [15:37] Quite suprised about how nice everything runs. [15:37] i thought they only did cheap exploited phones [15:38] (xiaomi) [15:38] R13ose: many ubuntu lovers do, if their mac version can run ubuntu [15:38] can't all macs run ubuntu? [15:38] not well, no [15:38] !mac [15:38] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [15:38] They make all kinds of things, even smart bicycles. [15:38] and the wiki above is an outdated mess [15:39] hah [15:39] daftykins: think they edited lately, but surely not real up to date :p [15:40] 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] or 1.20 [15:41] ah i was mostly talking tearing on nvidia optimus hybrid setups [15:57] daftykins: Must admit, that optimus seems to work fine for me with intel/Nvidia 750M, maybe I'm the lucky one [15:58] 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 [16:00] weird invention, to disable a better graphics card [16:00] who not just make it low mode or something if your not a gamer [16:00] *why [16:07] bbl [16:10] 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? :) [16:21] DJones, Do you also use nvidia-prime? [16:22] Oh, I see. I want my batterylife to be okay, I don't always have my charger by hand. [16:22] Roy: Yes I do [16:23] With Bumblebee, I could get 7+ hours browsing the web. With the gpu completely disabled. [16:23] My laptop is permantaly on power anyway [16:25] great way to murder the battery :) [16:26] I think it's better to stay connected to power to preserve battery cycles. [16:27] that's not how it works [16:28] typically, staying tethered and continually staying at top charge eventually murders the entire cell pack [16:28] very very common thing. [16:31] Ah, that's true. [16:33] 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 :) [16:34] My MacBook (2011) still has it's original battery. Still lasts for 5 hours on a charge. [16:35] But, I use it during transit. It's only on charger when I'm working. (09:00 - 17:00) [16:42] *nod* [16:42] 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] well, feels overnight but it's probably more like 3 months going by :D [16:43] my 3yr old laptop battery lasts about 3 hrs, tops [16:55] I switched username from Roy to something I can register :) [16:55] that asus sandybridge i5 i sold was from 2011, that kept going for 8hrs even as i sold it [16:55] i think the mate that bought it got a good deal there [16:55] £250 for i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD [16:59] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Wirehunter uiqhgruftehk [17:00] Oops [17:01] publically logged channel ;) but i don't remember if anything in that is important [17:01] think it's fine, but always best to use the status window [17:02] it is no password,just the confirmationcode [17:05] yarr === pavlushka is now known as SweetVenom [17:06] I did the registration itself to the server. (I'm using hexchat) But now I didn't think about that anymore. :/ === SweetVenom is now known as pavlushka [17:07] Wirehunter, i can see it worked, congrats [17:08] dinnertime, laterz guys [17:10] OerHeks, Thanks [17:11] now you can configure SASL authentication :) [17:17] Ah, thanks for pointing that out. [17:19] oh wait, i forgot that after reinstall .. [17:20] done [17:21] since it sends your password over plaintext though, you'll want to connect to freenode by SSL [17:22] I know, i am a high target, etc [17:22] wicked [17:22] :D [17:22] well the above was for Wirehunter too ^ [17:23] 3 attempts/minute on oerheks@ubuntu.com ... no, just joking [17:24] now you typed it out in a logged channel the bots are gonna spam it! [17:26] OerHeks: target value doesn't matter anymore. You could just be another bot in the net [17:46] ugh. my wifi is cutting out like every 30 secs. [18:14] o0 [18:14] failing router? [18:15] daftykins: don't think so. It's here at the office, so I'm just gonna call IT. [18:16] ah [18:16] makes me cringe hearing how folk in the office are on wireless :( [18:17] well my desktop is wired and connected to the intranet [18:17] 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] but we also have a wireless AP that is a separate network for personal devices. In this case, my laptop. [18:17] oh you get given both? that's handy, also keep hearing about businesses that provide laptops only [18:17] oh it's personal only? [18:18] 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] 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] did you get far with the VT-d thing? [18:19] yea once I enabled that it worked fine. [18:19] took a bit to find the option in the BIOS though [18:19] oh so it wasn't even passworded? i thought that was why you hadn't done it [18:21] you know, for how strict they are at some aspects of security, they are incredibly lax when it comes to individual machines. [18:21] 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] i truly thought you were only wrestling last week because the BIOS was locked down [18:22] no I just didn't wanna reboot at the time. haha [18:22] holy crap, man - you shock me [18:22] haha why? [18:22] so are you still going down that insane VM route instead of just discovering the Windows tools? [18:22] no, I'm just bringing in my laptop and using that for a lot of stuff. [18:23] >_< [18:26] nicomachus: is it dev you do? [18:27] daftykins: no. nothing IT related. [18:27] ah [18:28] definitely pretty weird them not locking things down, i do it even for my travelling biz client [18:28] oh well. Not much risk from our type of office. [18:28] nah given they've gotta get past the physical security to get in anyway, all bets would be off [18:33] physical security is VERY strong. haha [18:34] cor proper rain again here, somehow it's turning to ice on the roof [18:53] this SSL error in Chromium is starting to get very annoying. [18:54] http://i.imgur.com/oqXtumW.jpg [19:05] someone the other day said the next version sorts it [19:05] but that it's probably not in the repos yet === pavlushka is now known as PocketBot-lushka === PocketBot-lushka is now known as pavlushka [19:11] howdy [19:16] heya \o how are ye? [19:56] daftykins: hey, good you? [19:57] mmm not bad here cheers [19:58] cool [19:58] :D [20:12] i've got some dr pepper from a large supermarket here [20:12] :D [20:12] i sometimes treat myself with a bottle of that [20:13] i wonder why they dont sell it everywhere here, just pepsi/coke miranda and 7up usually [20:13] i really wish they would bring more dr pepper/cherry and taco bell here [20:13] not a single taco bell here [20:14] miranda o0 [20:14] yeah [20:14] not heard of that one! [20:14] it's like crush [20:14] it tastes ugh [20:15] https://www.makro.co.za/Images/Products/Large/MIN_176630001_EAA.jpg?v=20160308
