[05:20] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:04] <ducasse> \o
[06:07] <EriC^^> morning lotuspsychje ducasse
[06:08] <EriC^^> how's it going?
[06:08] <ducasse> hi EriC^^ - fine here, and you?
[06:09] <EriC^^> good thanks
[06:15] <ducasse> how did it go with the mobo last night?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> have a nice one guys
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> city walk :p
[07:23] <EriC^^> ducasse: good, it seems ok now :)
[07:29] <ducasse> EriC^^: how did you fix it? :)
[07:29] <EriC^^> i didnt really fix it, when i use a crt screen instead of the hdmi on the gpu's it just works (the bios and uefi list)
[07:30] <ducasse> right, you mentioned that - i thought you got lcd working again. it's a really odd problem, though...
[07:32] <EriC^^> yeah it is, it's ok, i just need the bios to set the settings and probably will never use it again
[07:32] <EriC^^> so it's ok
[07:33] <EriC^^> the company sent me an email to say when and where to pick the stuff up for testing and to make sure the cpu has no bent pins cause that voids the warranty
[07:35] <ducasse> can you make sense of the wall of text from intelcore in main?
[07:37] <ducasse> he's missing some libraries, i think, but other than that i'm not at all sure what he's got and not
[07:49] <EriC^^> hmm let me see
[08:33] <EriC^^> wow lots of text there
[08:33] <EriC^^> :D
[08:44] <ducasse> EriC^^: he was typing constantly for an hour, now it seems he's back to just random nonsense now and then ;)
[08:46] <EriC^^> did you see alien covenant yet?
[08:47] <ducasse> nope, there were no tickets left when we were thinking of going, and after that we haven't been able to find a good day for it. i hope we'll see it this week.
[09:05] <EriC^^> aha
[09:07] <ducasse> have you seen anything good lately?
[09:08] <EriC^^> nope
[09:09] <EriC^^> if one wants to extend the range of a wifi signal, he needs a repeater?
[09:09] <ducasse> no movies here either, watching a tv series atm...
[09:09] <ducasse> yes, or a more powerful router/bigger antennas
[09:11] <EriC^^> aha
[09:12] <ducasse> personally i really like the mikrotik stuff. powerful, extremely flexible and pretty cheap.
[09:12] <ducasse> ubiqity are also nice, but there are one or two drawbacks to them.
[09:17] <EriC^^> aha
[09:20] <EriC^^> the ups i got for the mining rig kind of sucks, it's rated at 600w but the electricity went out for a sec today and it turned off
[09:20] <EriC^^> with 2 gpu running, that's like 260w and 200w for the pc?
[09:21] <EriC^^> motherboard + hdd + fan would use up around 200w i guess less even?
[09:21] <ducasse> depends on cpu, etc.
[09:21] <EriC^^> (it's a i3 6100 the tdp is 50w or so)
[09:22] <EriC^^> without the gpu's running the ups holds up, hmm
[09:23] <ducasse> i'm *really* bad at estimating stuff like that. there's an online 'calculator' for figuring out psu/ups size somewhere, unsure if i bookmarked it...
[09:23] <EriC^^> honestly i shouldn't have got them, i had set up ubuntu to switch to read only mode when it boots with echo "u" > /proc/sysrq-trigger or so it makes it real easy to just switch it off and on without a screen
[09:23] <EriC^^> aha
[09:24] <EriC^^> yeah i read something about va or something, it said 1200va but it also says 600w on it, it's heavy as heck, it was cheap though $76 or so the others were like $200-300
[09:24] <EriC^^> so it could be it just sucks :D
[09:25] <ducasse> a cheap ups may not be worth it's weight in gold, no ;)
[09:25] <EriC^^> it's ok though i really only just need it for stuff like flashing the cards with a new bios and stuff like that so it doesn't get bricked, also i can use it with the ps4 now
[09:25] <EriC^^> haha yeah :D
[09:26] <EriC^^> i got 2 of them :D one will be a reserve i guess
[09:27] <ducasse> i've been thinking of getting a ups for my file server, but in the five years i've lived here the power has never gone out once, so it's not a huge priority :)
[09:28] <ducasse> i've got a surge protector, though.
[09:32] <EriC^^> aha
[09:33] <EriC^^> that's definitely a good investment
[09:35] <ducasse> yep, they are. the one on my desk also has usb ports :)
[09:35] <EriC^^> there's still something kind of "odd" after i reflashed the bios, i attempted to boot the live usb to set ubuntu back first in the efibootmgr, live usb wouldn't boot, kept getting a black screen with no console at f1
[09:35] <EriC^^> nice
[09:38] <ducasse> hmm. this is why i avoid msi ;)
[09:39] <EriC^^> i have a bad feeling about this one
[09:39] <ducasse> can you return it and get something different?
[09:39] <EriC^^> it must be the reflash cause i set it back after the cmos reset and it was still fine, as soon as i hit enter in grub for "try ubuntu" it gives a black screen, without quiet splash and nomodeset added too
[09:40] <EriC^^> i can't really cause the other boards they have aren't gpu friendly
[09:42] <EriC^^> it was either this or the msi z97a (it supports 7gpu's) but it went out of stock before i could get it
[09:42] <EriC^^> i'll try the crt again after lunch, who knows
[09:44] <ducasse> odd that that makes a difference.
[09:46] <ducasse> brb
[11:21] <EriC^^> !mainline
[11:56] <pauljw> Hi everyone
[12:03] <EriC^^> hi pauljw :)
[12:03] <EriC^^> how's it going?
[12:04] <pauljw> hey EriC^^ , good here thanks, you?
[12:04] <EriC^^> good thanks
[12:04] <pauljw> :)
[12:04] <EriC^^> :)
[13:06] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:08] <EriC^^> hi BluesKaj
[13:09] <BluesKaj> Hi EriC^^
[13:10] <pauljw> hey BluesKaj
[13:10] <BluesKaj> Hi pauljw
[13:11] <pauljw> :)
[13:12] <ducasse> \o BluesKaj
[13:39] <BluesKaj> Hey ducasse
[13:42] <BluesKaj> was busy reading about Void Linux , interesting distro, no systemd , but it's a rolling release, something I haven't made up my mind about yet, positive or negative...seems like a very interesting experiment just the same.
[13:45] <ducasse> looked at it a while back, but decided to go with arch instead. i have no major gripes with systemd yet.
[13:45] <oerheks> rolling release is a fashion word, it sounds like you allways get the latest and greatest and good tested software.
[13:49] <ducasse> if only...
[13:52] <pauljw> oerheks, i've been running pclinuxos here for about 11yrs now and it's a rolling release.  latest and greatest, no, well tested, yes.  we've had very good luck with it so far.
[13:53] <BluesKaj> oerheks, there's no emphasis on latest an greatest software, mostly a cautious thoroughly tested software approach, at least that's my take on this one.
[13:54] <oerheks> Yes, i wanted tested , but it depends on too many details, i am happy with point releases like ubuntu
[13:54] <oerheks> and fedora
[13:54] <BluesKaj> and i do like the idea of using kde4 again
[13:56] <ducasse> tired of plasma? :)
[13:59] <BluesKaj> kde4 is plasma as well, but with some kde4 features that i used a lot that were dropped in kde/plasma5
[13:59] <ducasse> ah, i thought the plasma name came with kde5...
[14:01] <BluesKaj> well kde4/plasma workspace is the official ttitle
[14:02] <BluesKaj> too many words in a the title :-)
[14:03] <BluesKaj> and too many words in a title tends to blur it's real meaning
[14:05] <ducasse> you're still on debian?
[14:08] <BluesKaj> yup
[14:08] <BluesKaj> and kubuntu 17.10
[14:10] <ducasse> when i'm done playing with arch i might give debian sid another shot, i kind of miss it.
[14:11] <BluesKaj> debian stretch here
[14:43] <pauljw> biab... have to mow.
[14:58] <BluesKaj> heh, i have to mow too, but it's too wet ...raining on and off here
[15:08] <oerheks> use a scythe perhaps?
[16:10] <pauljw> back... whew it's hot out there!!
[16:11] <oerheks> :-)
[17:27] <pauljw> biab
[17:34] <oerheks> baby-in-a-brewery
[18:14] <ducasse> brain-in-a-basket
