| pragmaticenigma | tough crowd tonight | 01:23 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | won't even crack a smile .. what a crowd . | 01:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | maybe my question is too hard | 01:25 |
| Bashing-om | Well, I for one do not know KDE - or "display modes" . | 01:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | display modes => display resolutions | 01:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | I have what I need... I just don't know where to add the modeline for X to pick up on it... I'm hoping there is an appropriate place so that it is available on boot, but a user can select a preferred resolution if they like and it won't get overriden by a script execution | 01:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | looks like a got it sorted :-) | 01:33 |
| daftykins | so you mean xorg.conf? | 01:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | possibly... xorg.conf is deprecated though | 01:33 |
| daftykins | no there just isn't one by default these days | 01:34 |
| daftykins | when you need to change things? that's when it comes back :> | 01:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | in 16.04 there was a way to leverage a conf.d folder | 01:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | but I'm not seeing that folder ... so I'm uncertain if it will wrk | 01:36 |
| daftykins | oh yeah that crap | 01:36 |
| daftykins | i don't think that really added to the experience much | 01:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | I try very hard not to create the default conf files, as updates/upgrades will through the familiar... this file doesn't match the maintainers... | 01:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | s/through/throw | 01:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | I followed this site for now, and it appears to be working: https://techblog.omidfarhang.com/en-us/2018/05/24/set-permanent-custom-resolution-for-ubuntu-and-kde/ | 01:37 |
| daftykins | what was special about what you needed btw? | 01:38 |
| daftykins | hmm sddm, guess it's all special for KDE | 01:39 |
| daftykins | gives me a real YOLD feeling when you have to bury in configs for a custom res again | 01:39 |
| daftykins | also - https://xkcd.com/963/ | 01:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | I don't know... when I installed, it auto discovered the resolution just fine... after running "apt upgrade" which included new kernel... it will only give 1024x768... this is via VGA.. if I use the DVI, everything is fine | 01:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | but I need it VGA... since this machine is a secondary input to the monitor | 01:41 |
| daftykins | what graphics? sounds like DDC got killed | 01:41 |
| daftykins | blargh VGA in 2018, treat yourself :D | 01:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | I really need to... but doing the life thing... ya know, mortgage, surprise medical bills (everything is a-okay), and more | 01:43 |
| Bashing-om | pragmaticenigma: And that washing machine is on it's last legs . Any day now, fork out the bucks for a replacement .. meanwhile, I still have not scrounged up the bucks to replace the UPS for this machine :( | 01:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | onboard Intel graphics daftykins ... the monitor supports a funky resolution as it's max 1400x1050 | 01:45 |
| daftykins | that's not a res i'm used to, 1680x1050 or 1400x900 usually | 01:46 |
| daftykins | there are a lot of generations of intel | 01:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | yeah... it's a strange one | 01:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | I'll grab lspci | 01:46 |
| daftykins | nah nevermind | 01:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | good because lspci was worthless for information | 01:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | can't get more generic than Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 01:47 |
| daftykins | sandybridge | 01:48 |
| daftykins | yeah you would grep /proc/cpuinfo for your CPU model and then use ark.intel.com for the ID | 01:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | ah | 01:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | that's a round about way to get Intel® HD Graphics 2000 | 01:51 |
| daftykins | straightforward in Linux terms | 01:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | what I have now will work for the time being... this is my test machine to prepare my main rig for it's upgrade to 18.04 | 01:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | trying KDE instead of Gnome, to see if I'm ready to make it a daily driver again (Plasma's early days where just too buggy and the cashew... annoying little cashew) | 01:56 |

| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 09:25 |
| Allie` | I'd love to see an ubuntu anniversary edition, that's just 4.10 but bought up-to-date :D | 11:32 |
| lordievader | But then it ain't 4.10 anymore, is it? | 11:46 |
| Allie` | as long as it looks and feels like 4.10 :P | 11:47 |
| * Allie` misses the boot chime, among other things | 11:47 | |
| lordievader | You can still get the iso's, right? | 11:49 |
| lordievader | I.e. you can still run them in a vm. | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | Allie`, maybe the trinity desktop might bring back memories :-) | 11:49 |
| Allie` | BluesKaj: I am enjoying Ubuntu with MATE rn | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | ok, gnome never did much for me , but kde made me feel at home, being an old windows user | 12:17 |
| Allie` | I never felt at home on windows :P | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | I used windows on the job since 1988/89 , so i got used to it after a while, but i haven't used it much at , just to help my wife who was afraid of Linux. She needed windowd for fav games anyway LOTRO, and D&D etc. | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | at all | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | lately :-) | 12:37 |
| JimBuntu | D&D BluesKaj ? Nerd! lol. j/k | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | my wife was a bit nerdy, and very smart, that's who gave my kids their smarts :-) | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | JimBuntu,^ | 13:57 |
| JimBuntu | Yes BluesKaj ... same here. | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | I was a slow learner, barely made it out of high school , but discovered my nerdy side when I got into audio and realized I enjoyed dong lab work. I kind of lucked out when I got hired to work in lab testing pulp and paper on the production line | 14:02 |
| JimBuntu | Lucky you. I was always nerdy :-( I was lucky though, the jocks learned quickly that it was beneficial to have a nerd for a friend. Especially when it came to knowing what nerve endings to strike to drop that person picking on you. | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | s...that'sa when it became really interesting to me | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | when progressed from there to environmental analysis using lab instrument | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | s | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | well, I was a jock and a partier, never picked on anyone unless they tried to pick on me which most soon regreetted | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | doesn't hurt to be 6'5" ...most ppl leave you alone :-) | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | ok, back to Cosmic | 14:29 |
| lotuspsychje | good evening to all | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | all good on your new job nacc ? | 18:29 |
| nacc | lotuspsychje: yeah it's been a busy little-over 1 month! | 18:29 |
| nacc | lotuspsychje: thanks for asking! | 18:29 |
| nacc | learning a lot about what it takes to run a cloud :) | 18:29 |
| lotuspsychje | np, doing more hours? | 18:29 |
| nacc | lotuspsychje: i'd say about the same, i'm on the engineering side, not the support side, so that helps :) | 18:32 |
| lotuspsychje | cool | 18:32 |
| lotuspsychje | nacc: glad you like it, and still be with us..your on 2 worlds now :p | 18:33 |
| nacc | lotuspsychje: yeah that parts been a little tricky :) | 18:33 |
| lotuspsychje | nacc: real life on nr1 :p | 18:33 |
| nacc | also having to get used to using slack! so much worse than irc | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | the rest is irc idle | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | they use slack professional? | 18:34 |
| nacc | lotuspsychje: not sure if you mean if they use it professionally or if there is some special version of slack. I am using the snap slack client and the entire company uses slack for just about everything :) | 18:35 |
| lotuspsychje | ahh slack snap | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah ive tested that one once | 18:36 |
| nacc | it works surprisingly well -- and i think upstream has responded to a few bugs i've hit, which was nice | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | i tested todoist for a while too, more online | 18:37 |
| oerheks_ | gamblore again.. | 18:38 |
| lotuspsychje | that guys does some serious trolling :p | 18:38 |
| oerheks | oooh.. i think the heat is kicking in, i'll be gentle with support | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 18:48 |
| * lotuspsychje gives leftyfb a hammer :p | 18:48 | |
| oerheks | yeah, people die over sudo ... | 18:48 |
| leftyfb | if only | 18:49 |
| lotuspsychje | where's the banvote when you need one lol | 18:52 |
| lotuspsychje | .vote troll56 | 18:53 |
| lotuspsychje | troll56 has been kicked | 18:53 |
| leftyfb | now that would be good to have | 18:53 |
| oerheks | oh, then i would be BFL | 18:53 |
| oerheks | banned-for-life :-D | 18:53 |
| leftyfb | it would be merit based | 18:53 |
| leftyfb | would be severely broken otherwise | 18:54 |
| * leftyfb waits for the entire paste dump to the channel again | 18:56 | |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 18:56 |
| * lotuspsychje waits for the real users at 18.04.1 | 18:57 | |
| lotuspsychje | but for now a bit tv :p | 18:57 |
| lotuspsychje | ttyl guys | 18:57 |
| leftyfb | https://www.preining.info/blog/2018/06/microsofts-failed-attempt-on-debian-packaging/ | 19:46 |
| leftyfb | this is insane | 19:46 |
| oerheks | forcibly relinking /bin/sh to bash :-D | 19:53 |
| oerheks | Hanlon's razor comment covers this perfectly | 19:54 |
| Tegu | rm /bin/sh what could go wrong | 19:56 |
| Tegu | also, I can't help but "... an open source implementation of R with some improvements." reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish | 19:59 |
| kostkon | Tegu, or this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Java_Virtual_Machine | 20:01 |
| oerheks | i like Bing, i must say... | 20:01 |
