ducasseraining hard here, supposed to get worse later in the day.07:08
EriC^^cool :)07:12
ducassei like rain, so suits me fine. the cat isn't too happy, though :)07:16
ducassehmm, a couple of stuck keys on this laptop...07:17
EriC^^whatever you do, don't pour alcohol on it07:22
EriC^^i recently got a stuck space bar, and put some alcohol, waited for like 30mins for it to dry, and turned the laptop back on and the keyboard stopped working, i thought 30mins would be enough and taking the keys off is hard07:23
EriC^^it's pretty easy to remove the keys, i'm not sure i'd entirely risk it myself, those things are kind of fragile07:23
ducassei've got compressed air, i'll try that07:23
EriC^^sounds good07:23
ducasseseems fine now \o/07:25
ducassegood to start the day with a small victory :)07:25

brunchheya10:46
BluesKajHowdy folks11:02
brunchhowdy BluesKaj11:08
brunchI'm trying out ubuntu 17.1011:08
brunchfeels like it offers better performance that fedora11:08
brunchexcept for gnome, gnome is pretty terrible11:08
BluesKajHi brunch, yeah been testing fedora 26 KDE spin, not too impressed with nvidia driver support :/11:17
brunchgames run ok in fullscreen mode11:18
brunchbut there's this odd stuttering when loading new resources11:18
brunchon ubuntu gnome fullscreen doesn't give you good performance11:19
brunchbut that might be the bug I'm experiencing using multiple monitors11:19
brunchcan't disable the main one unless I do it manually with xrandr11:19
BluesKajgonna give F27 KDE a try to see how it compares to Kubuntu Artful Beta 1, and so far beta1 has held up very nicely...not a gamer but movies run fine in vlc with my legacy gt218 gpu11:20
BluesKajthink i need to start planning a new pc build ...some of my HW is becoming left behind support-wise11:29
daftykinsooh-err11:32
daftykinshi all \o11:32
BluesKajhey daftykins11:32
brunchI'm going to get an amd computer next11:32
brunchnvidia is such a headache for me11:33
daftykinserr that's a really bad idea, AMD is in a far worse situation than nvidia11:33
brunchis it?11:33
brunchWhat about those vegas?11:33
daftykinseven if you got working drivers they're only decent for compute tasks11:33
daftykinsthe driver situation on Linux is very messy right now - and since 16.0411:34
BluesKajI'm gona go with an intel cpu next time. maybe an i5 , amd is ok, but not up to speed IMO11:34
brunch:/11:34
BluesKajbeen running amd for over 10yrs11:34
daftykinswhat problems do you have with nvidia? should be just 1) install OS, 2) install binary driver, 3) enjoy11:35
brunchmy two biggest complains is having the system hang completely with mesa11:36
brunchaaaaaand its current incompatibility with wayland11:36
BluesKajnvidia drivers are fine on kubuntu, fedora has a dependency pros with vidpau and nvidia-340 driver conflits11:36
BluesKajconflicts rather11:36
BluesKajand a very messy repos scheme11:37
daftykinshave to agree with you there on the intel choice, BluesKaj - AMD may have finally made something decent but all the early adopters have essentially paid to help iron out the bugs for AMD11:38
daftykinsbrunch: ah i don't much care for anything until it's stable and mainstream :)11:38
brunchalso, it feels like nvidia is being a huge burden in the open source community11:38
brunchit's like consuming nvidia I'm harming gamers11:39
BluesKajdaftykins, yeah that new amd cpu seems buggy from a lot of reports11:39
daftykins*nod* firmware updates to resolve RAM compatibility woes, yikes11:45
daftykinskernel panics or hard locks early on with Linux11:45
brunchisn't amd reclaiming?11:46
daftykinsreclaiming what?11:52
brunchtheir faulty processors11:53
daftykinsthey're not faulty, they just pushed them out the door before they'd refined components of the motherboard BIOS'11:55
daftykinsthey just so desperately needed a win11:55
brunchoh11:55
BluesKajyeah, and amd certainly mucked up ati gpu linux support after buying them out12:47
naccit's interesting that some lappy vendors are starting to do amd lappys again15:08
daftykinsi've not had a good experience using one before, tbh... be they X2's from the past or A8/A10 and so on15:09
EriC^^i was kind of excited for ryzen mobile cpu's15:10
EriC^^(laptop)15:11
lotuspsychjegood evening to all guys17:40

brunchI'm trying to have both gnome and openbox running17:47
lotuspsychjehttp://imgur.com/a/nWNk417:47
brunchcan't get to start openbox if it isn't from the login screen17:47
lotuspsychjenice one brunch how you love it?17:47
brunchI really really like artful17:47
lotuspsychjesame here17:48
brunchI used to be on fedora because the newer packages17:48
brunchbut now I see artful actually has even newer packages17:48
brunch!17:48
brunchman, screw selinux :P17:48
lotuspsychjebrunch: like wich?17:48
brunchlike git17:48
lotuspsychje!info git artful17:48
brunchgit's 2.14 here, it was 2.13 in fedora17:48

lotuspsychjecewl17:48
brunchI'm just spotting a couple of bugs in gnome17:49
lotuspsychjefeel free to share url?17:49
lotuspsychjei only found 2 in all stages17:49
brunchlike changing the multi-screens at system settings17:49
brunchit just laughs at me and does nothing17:49
lotuspsychjeand 1 was early17:49
lotuspsychjebrunch: perhaps with the Xwayland?17:50
brunchso I'm just using xrandr to disable my laptop screen to use the hdmi one as primary17:50
brunchthat seems to work17:50
lotuspsychjeyeah or arandr17:50
brunchalso, there's this thing in gnome3 which forces vertical sync so games run like arse unless they're fullscreen in fedora17:51
brunchbut fullscreen doesn't work in ubuntu either, it's always terrible framerate :/17:51
brunchit does work fine in openbox though, so there's that17:51
brunchI want to launch it with startx but screen gets no output...17:52
brunchWish I knew more about how startx works17:52
lotuspsychjebrunch: might be of wayland not ready yet?17:52
brunchis ubuntu using xwayland already?17:52
lotuspsychjebrunch: found few screen glitches here aswell17:52
brunchI'm not using wayland... I think17:53
lotuspsychjebrunch: ps -e | grep X17:53
naccbrunch: it is an option, and will be the default (iirc)17:53
brunchyeah I'm using X17:53
brunchnot a big fan of wayland yet since the nvidia drivers didn't work in fedora17:54
brunchalthough they are a lot more recent in the ubuntu ppas so... who knows!17:54
lotuspsychjebrunch: you seeing indicators yet in right upper corner in gnome?17:55
lotuspsychjebrunch: got them enabled by gnome-tweak-tool but not seeing anything there17:55
