[01:29] <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.
[01:30] <brousch> One of the games finally worked via wine, but I got bored after an hour and never played it again
[14:12] <cmaloney> Good morning
[16:33] <rick_h> morning (for a bit more)
[16:34] <cmaloney> heh
[20:58] <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
[22:13] <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
[22:15] <Scary_Guy> it's an older system, it's possible it can't do 64 bit, only thing I can think of though
[22:16] <jrwren> best find out if it is 64bit or not.
[22:16] <jrwren> hwat model atom?
[22:19] <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
[22:21] <jrwren> oh, not even real Atom.
[22:21] <Scary_Guy> apparently not
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <jrwren> openelec on a pi not good enough?
[22:23] <jrwren> err sorry, libreelec.
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <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
[22:26] <Scary_Guy> they look like they run at about 8 FPS
[22:28] <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
