[05:07] <lordievader[m]> Good morning
[05:16] <txtechnow> good morning lordievader[m]
[05:17] <lordievader[m]> Hey txtechnow
[05:17] <txtechnow> hello
[06:24] <ducasse> good morning
[08:14] <lordievader[m]> Hey ducasse
[09:41] <ducasse> morning lordievader[m], how's life? all quiet here, much too hot :)
[09:53] <lordievader[m]> I'm doing okay. Trying to get rid of some troubles.
[09:53] <lordievader[m]> Display suddenly started throwing artifacts.
[09:53] <lordievader[m]> Seemed like it triggered a kernel panic too.
[09:53]  * lordievader[m] fingers crossed
[09:53] <lordievader[m]> seems like disabeling HT helped
[09:54] <lordievader[m]> How are you doing, ducasse?
[10:21] <ducasse> lordievader[m]: i'm good thanks. display artifacts - what kind of gpu?
[10:22] <lordievader[m]> Mobile amd
[10:22] <ducasse> never had problems with ht before, but i guess everything's possible ;)
[10:22] <ducasse> radeon driver?
[10:26] <lordievader[m]> Yes
[10:26] <lordievader[m]> Never had any problems with it myself.
[10:26] <lordievader[m]> Honestly I'm starting to think the hardware is dying.
[10:27] <lordievader[m]> Windows had the same symptoms.
[10:28] <ducasse> that's possible. it could also be a heating issue?
[10:29] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:29] <ducasse> good morning BluesKaj
[10:30] <BluesKaj> hey ducasse, how goes it ?
[10:33] <ducasse> BluesKaj: all well and quiet here, really hot today. how are you doing?
[10:34] <lordievader[m]> ducasse: it ain't hotter than usual
[10:34] <ducasse> lordievader[m]: it is here :)
[10:34] <BluesKaj> fine here, raining again, so my outdoor projects are on hold for the next day or 2
[10:38] <ducasse> sounds like a great excuse to relax in front of the computer.
[10:38] <BluesKaj> but I have to clean up all my old electronics junk shelves and send a lot of stuff to the recycling center
[10:40] <BluesKaj> so I think I might tackle that today
[10:40] <ducasse> that's also a worthwhile effort :) i've gotten rid of most of mine, now i just save the stuff i think someone might be able to use.
[10:45] <BluesKaj> yeah i have a couple of old 160GB IDE HDDs that still work .
[10:46] <ducasse> lordievader[m]: display artifacts do sound like it could be a hardware issues if it's not just a driver or compositor bug... *shrug*
[10:52] <BluesKaj> keeping the old drives for another yr, but the rest of the stuff has to go
[10:52] <lordievader[m]> Indeed :(
[10:55] <ducasse> best of luck trying to figure it out, hope it's just software gone wonky...
[10:57] <BluesKaj> hey lordievader[m], what's up?
[11:13] <lordievader[m]> Having some issues with my laptop, but other than that, fine.
[11:13] <lordievader[m]> How are you?
[11:13] <BluesKaj> I'm ok thanks
[11:43] <BluesKaj> I see we have another new pedantic know it all over at ubuntu ... he's assuredly knowledgeable,  but insufferable just the same
[11:44] <BluesKaj> :-)
[11:46] <BluesKaj> oj, bbl
[11:50] <ducasse> BluesKaj: thought you got fed up, there :)
[11:51] <BluesKaj> nope, just switched back to kubuntu
[11:52] <ducasse> okidoke. you use konversation, right? how do you like it?
[11:53] <BluesKaj> my last post was just a comment, I'm used to those who suffer from mopre advanced symptoms of geekitis
[11:53] <ducasse> :)
[11:54] <BluesKaj> been using konverstaion for 12 yrs, i must like it :-)
[11:54] <BluesKaj> konversation even :-0
[11:58] <BluesKaj> guess I'm used to the format/layout tied most of the popular clients, but I aleways found konversation the most logical in terms of setup and configuring
[11:58] <BluesKaj> tried
[11:58] <ducasse> i'm quite happy with weechat, myself, cli software has it's benefits.
[11:59] <BluesKaj> yeah , i;ve run irssi in emergencies, but I prefer the gui
[12:02] <ducasse> something like quassel might be nice, but i've never actually tested it. or i could just set up a bouncer, i guess...
[12:03] <ducasse> ok, bbl. duty calls...
[12:36] <lordievader[m]> Regarding my issue, I'm starting to think it might be the ram. There are a lot of spelling errors in the boot screen....
[12:36] <lordievader[m]> Even on a live usb.
[13:28] <ducasse> lordievader[m]: sounds like that machine might not be in the best of health  :-/
[13:28] <ducasse> have you got some other ram sticks you can try?
[13:29] <lordievader[m]> Nope, it has become a zombie
[13:31] <ducasse> too bad :(
[13:31] <BluesKaj> lordievader[m],  unfortunate , must be something else
[13:32] <BluesKaj> cmos, bios ?
[13:32] <lordievader[m]> There are four ram sticks in there, doesn't matter wich one I leave in.
[13:32] <lordievader[m]> Already resetted that.
[13:33] <ducasse> might be the cpu itself
[13:54] <lordievader[m]> Indeed, I'm currenty looking at a new one.
[18:41] <immu> i cannot login on Gnome Wayland session on 17.04 @Bashing-om  ducasse EriC^^ ????
[18:42] <ducasse> immu: wait for an answer in #ubuntu
[18:45] <immu> can i tag you over there?  :)
[18:50] <ducasse> ask your question, then wait for someone to answer. don't just highlight people on random...
