| brousch | Hah, no, I badgered her for years about their lack of Linux support | 01:29 |
|---|---|---|
| brousch | Very much MS shop | 01:29 |
| jrwren | i can't imagine there is any market for selling linux desktop software. | 01:29 |
| brousch | One of the games finally worked via wine, but I got bored after an hour and never played it again | 01:30 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 14:12 |
| rick_h | morning (for a bit more) | 16:33 |
| cmaloney | heh | 16:34 |
| Scary_Guy | Stardock had some okay stuff, but the proprietary aspect was a turnoff eventually once I learned about the glory of FOSS | 20:58 |
| Scary_Guy | although if they ever got Nemoshell working that would be worth it | 20:58 |
| Scary_Guy | So, my media center blew up a while ago. A friend sent me an Atom board and I hooked up my hard disk with Linux Mint on it. I managed to get it to show the GRUB2 bootmenu but after that it just shows a dash blinking really fast. Anybody have any ideas? | 22:13 |
| Scary_Guy | it's coming off a regular chipset so I'm not sure if it's freaking out about that, but from what I've read it should still understand the instruction set | 22:13 |
| Scary_Guy | it's an older system, it's possible it can't do 64 bit, only thing I can think of though | 22:15 |
| jrwren | best find out if it is 64bit or not. | 22:16 |
| jrwren | hwat model atom? | 22:16 |
| Scary_Guy | got a mobo manual with it, date is 2006, so yeah not 64 bit | 22:19 |
| Scary_Guy | it's a VIA CN700 | 22:19 |
| jrwren | oh, not even real Atom. | 22:21 |
| Scary_Guy | apparently not | 22:21 |
| Scary_Guy | on the plus side there really isn't anything important on the OS, so I can just wipe it and reinstall with something it will understand | 22:22 |
| jrwren | openelec on a pi not good enough? | 22:23 |
| jrwren | err sorry, libreelec. | 22:23 |
| Scary_Guy | I've got a pi3b I tried it on, boy is that choppy | 22:24 |
| jrwren | really? What video are you trying to play? | 22:24 |
| jrwren | 4k or something? | 22:24 |
| Scary_Guy | I tried that, the other one, and Raspbian | 22:24 |
| Scary_Guy | just Netflix | 22:25 |
| jrwren | I use a pi2 and it plays all 1080p h264 | 22:25 |
| jrwren | oh, i don't know anything about netflix. | 22:25 |
| Scary_Guy | I'm sure it would play other video fine, it's just that and Amazon which would probably work similarly bad are the big issues | 22:25 |
| Scary_Guy | they look like they run at about 8 FPS | 22:26 |
| Scary_Guy | I'll probably just end up making the pi a pihole or something neat, I have two of them. One I bought and the other a friend won at MUG and gave to me because I guess he didn't have time to mess with it | 22:28 |
