ducasselet's see...08:19

lotuspsychjewiki edited last 2011, so wasnt sure if still usefull08:21
ducassehard to say, i'm not at all that familiar with acpi issues tbh. it's better than nothing i guess, but it doesn't mention the acpi_osi=Windows... fix etc08:23
ducasseit's very short, to put it that way.08:24
lotuspsychjeah right, thatl be surely usefull also08:24
lordievaderlotuspsychje: What hibernate issues?08:25
lotuspsychjelordievader: every day users come here asking the same stuff again, help i closed my laptop lid/hibernate doesnt work properly08:26
lotuspsychjeor touchpad acpi issues08:27
Ben64doctor it hurts when i do this08:27
Ben64...don't do that08:27
lotuspsychjei think those problems are mostly asked in main08:27
lotuspsychjeBen64: yeah im not actually a fan of hibernating myself08:27
lotuspsychjewith the speed of ssd's, why not just halt08:28
Ben64people loooove keeping apps open forever08:28
Ben64and it's simply impossible to re-open them08:28
lotuspsychjei understand, but try to convince john doe, that his newly bought hardware doesnt function like he wishes lol08:29
lotuspsychjemust be ubuntu's fault then..08:30
Ben64because it always works flawlessly on windows? :P08:30
lotuspsychjelol08:30
Ben64the amount of computer problems i've had have drastically decreased since switching to linux08:31
lotuspsychjei once saw a guy with his laptop bound to his bike in hibernate, with adapter pushing on his screen lid with elastic, breaking his screen almost08:31
Ben64ew08:31
lotuspsychjequick ride home to work further with his pc lol08:31
Ben64i know laptops are supposed to be better with shock, but biking sounds awful08:32
lotuspsychjelaptopcases should be built with sideway adapter, far from the laptop08:33
lotuspsychjemost ppl pushing it against the screen08:33
* lordievader likes the suspend function08:36
lordievaderWaiting for the hibernate process to finish is a pita -.-08:37

lotuspsychjewondering what kind of cool devices will birth on ubuntu core boards09:30
ducassei try to avoid all these random arm devices, there are far too many of them. i prefer the rpi and other well-known ones that have a bigger community around them and lots of support. interesting stuff, though, i guess this is for iot?09:50
BluesKajHI folks10:26

nicomachushttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/netflix-finally-adds-support-firefox-linux13:45
OerHeksgood news indeed, no more hacks needed13:47
BluesKajnicomachus, google-chrome ran netflix in linux for a while now13:49
nicomachusBluesKaj: I know, but I hate chrome and have been wanting to get rid of it for awhile. Now I can!13:54
BluesKajnicomachus, seems there are several netflix extensions for FF, but no clear plugin ...I'm confused14:00
nicomachusI tried it on FF, but firefox encountered a bug14:01
nicomachussee: https://i.imgur.com/6b6NOHL.gifv14:01
BluesKajis that html5 ?14:04
BluesKajI'm getting used to chrome, but I understand how you feel. It's so proprietary and clunky14:05
brunch875I used to like chrome because it syncs with google14:45
brunch875Now I don't like chrome because it syncs with google14:45
nicomachusheh14:47
daftykinsdon't forget that you choose what features to use... but yeah i don't understand why people treat chrome as some kind of jesus browser16:13
daftykinsit's not as far ahead as perhaps it might've temporarily been on release way back16:13
BluesKajdaftykins:  well the latest FF 50.0.1 is awful, slow and clunky and unresponsive16:17
brunch875BluesKaj: mine works immediatly16:17
brunch875perhaps it's the SSD doing its magic16:17
BluesKajmine is terrible, but I'm on 17.0416:18
daftykinslatest? 52.0 here16:18
brunch875BluesKaj: not an excuse, me too!16:18
BluesKajbrunch875:  i'm uing a ssd as well16:18
daftykins52.0.1 no less - also if you've been using it through upgrades and what not forever, clean profiles are always good16:18
daftykinsas is ublock origin :>16:18
brunch875BluesKaj: also, remember how I couldn't get the liveUSB to work yesterday on UEFI? Turns out the USB itself was faulty. Fixed the issue by using an external drive instead :s16:19
daftykinsit's rare but i've definitely heard of drives being funky, sometimes they can be returned to usefulness with a good zero fill16:19
BluesKajdaftykins:  think 17.04 doesn't have the latest FF for some reason16:19
daftykinscan also be quirks when in USB 2.0 vs. 3.0 ports16:20
nacc!info firefox zesty16:20
brunch875daftykins: it was definitely a 2.0 / 3.0 issue16:20
ubot5firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 50.1.0+build2-0ubuntu1 (zesty), package size 46470 kB, installed size 112768 kB16:20
naccthat is strange16:21
naccah it's stuck in proposed16:21
brunch875!info firefox trusty16:21
ubot5firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 52.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (trusty), package size 45089 kB, installed size 104269 kB16:21
daftykinspretty Canonical standard ;)16:21
brunch875what the...16:21
brunch875I installed zesty to get the bleeding edge16:21
naccfailed to build on armhf and s390x16:21
brunch875this is surprising16:21
daftykinsit's not april yet so it's not like it really matters :>16:21
naccbrunch875: not especially, not released yet16:22
tsimonq2Oh shoot16:22
tsimonq2I need to go mark a regression with that16:22
daftykins52 is meant to be the edition that finally bans NPAPI plugins other than flash player16:22
tsimonq2It needs to depend on pulseaudio or it breaks in Lubuntu16:22
nacctsimonq2: fun :)16:22
nacctsimonq2: yeah, that's the alsa debacle?16:22
* brunch875 awaits the death of flash16:22
tsimonq2nacc: And only Lubuntu 16.04 LTS16:22
tsimonq2>__________<16:22
nacctsimonq2: yeah ... :/16:22
tsimonq2nacc: I don't know about alsa, that decision was made before I was a Lubuntu person16:23
daftykinsonly thing i still use flash for is baseball from mlb.com :)16:25
naccoh gawd16:26
naccfirefox is at different versions on xenial and yakkety depending on arch too16:26
naccbecasue it failed to build on some architectures16:26
tsimonq2nacc: It didn't help that OMG! Ubuntu! picked up on it before the Lubuntu team did, and they reported a headline which seemed to me like, "Lubuntu broke Firefox yet again"16:26
daftykinsany indication what the failure is? :P16:26
daftykinstsimonq2: online 'journalism' being sensational!? never :)16:27
nacchrm, no logs16:27
tsimonq2That really pissed me off, especially because Joey and I are not on good terms >__<16:27
tsimonq2I was like "noooooooo, no more witchhunting >___<"16:27
naccdaftykins: ah i see, it's a ppa copy from the mozilla security team ppa, so i can't see the logs on lp directly16:28
BluesKajnot using FF 52 on kde/plasma. it requires pulseaudio ...no thanks :/17:21
daftykinsthat requirement doesn't make much sense17:23
OerHeksIt was discussed over a year ago.. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124705617:25
ubot5Mozilla bug 1247056 in Audio/Video: cubeb "Require PulseAudio to play sound on Linux" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]17:25
nicomachushttps://news.slashdot.org/story/17/03/17/1644211/firefox-goes-pulseaudio-only-leaves-alsa-users-with-no-sound17:25
nicomachusbetter source: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/firefox-52-no-sound-pulseaudio-alsa-linux17:26
daftykinsuuuh omgubuntu better than slashdot? that's bold17:26
nicomachus"Make Pulse Audio a hard dependency on Linux so that we reduce the problems and maintenance associated with maintaining multiple audio backends17:26
nicomachus"17:26
nicomachusResponding to the criticism Mozilla engineer, Anthony Jones, says: “making trade offs is a necessary part of making a good product”. When asked to restore ALSA support in the the rep replies: “[that] isn’t going to happen. Sorry.”17:26
nicomachusdaftykins: well the slashdot post was just an excerpt from the omgubuntu article.17:27
nicomachus¯\_(ツ)_/¯17:27
OerHeksnot the kernel alsa but a buggy system design,17:27
daftykinsah right17:29
daftykinsi had a feeling that might've been the case after i hit enter XD17:29
OerHeksat least Linux documents all functions .. http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-doubleagent-zero-day-hijacks-microsoft-tool-to-turn-antivirus-into-malware/17:29
daftykinsthat one isn't even that big a deal17:30
BluesKajalsa hasn;t had much development since 2008  when PA wasforced down our throats. Thank God for Intel audio snd-hda drivers. They are written for alsa first so they work without PA17:33
BluesKajanyway, stuff to do for a few mins...bbl17:35
Bashing-omTime for a nap !20:11
Bashing-omBack: all better now :)23:09
tsimonq2Bashing-om: I know, right? I went for a nap about the same time you did, really helps when you're sick.23:29
Bashing-omtsimonq2: Naps are good things ! ( how else could we do these 2AM sessions ?)23:31
tsimonq2Bashing-om: ikr23:32
Bashing-omOr in your case - pusing out the next release ! peace and quiet required .23:33
Bashing-ompushing*23:33
tsimonq2Bashing-om: Sure, absolutely. :)23:42
tsimonq2nicomachus: Joey changed the title, it originally read, "Lubuntu users are left with no sound after upgrading Firefox"23:43
tsimonq2nicomachus: And I was like, "yyyeeeaaahhh, nope, no more witchhunting... >__<"23:43
Bashing-omI never knew a champion yet that did not 'nap' to perform ; :D23:44
tsimonq2Bashing-om: Last release cycle, if you remember, I did a milestone release with Set Hallstrom of Ubuntu Studio (really great guy, I enjoyed working with him) and when we published the release announcement, I was running off of 24 hours with no sleep. When we were done I crashed.23:46
tsimonq2Bashing-om: So it's doable but it's hell. :P23:46
Bashing-omtsimonq2: Yeah , I do seem to recall that situation . We do what we must . I once ran 40 hours non stop . there toward the end I was mostly useless and brain dead :)23:48
tsimonq2Bashing-om: I believe after 48 hours of no sleep you are legally declared mentally insane. :P23:49
Bashing-omLOL - I can believe that .23:49
acheron-ahello Bashing-om23:59
acheron-aso back to question last night ...23:59
acheron-ais unity interface a gnome fork?23:59
