| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> @KMyers So are there any after-christmas chromebook deals? | 14:48 |
|---|---|---|
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Not sure | 15:22 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Hello from slackware+ | 17:49 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I just got the nvidia driver installed so the screen resolution is alright- now I've got to figure out how to get a boot screen or maybe live with a usb stick boot for a while, the uefi/efi/gpt world scares me still. | 17:50 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Maybe I'll install grub | 17:50 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> 2019 will be the year of Linux on the Desktop. | 18:22 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> haha | 18:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I can't seem to get google chrome or chromium to run though | 18:44 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Maybe I'll fall back to Debian | 18:44 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> What happens when you try to run it? | 18:46 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Hm. | 18:47 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I tried building a newer nss but I think I had trouble with that too | 18:47 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Seems not to be the first thing that went wrong either | 18:47 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Maybe bs up an /etc/machine-id first | 18:47 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I have not done enough with Slackware to offer much advice. | 18:47 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @RazPi, Seems logical. Just create a 32 char GUID and stick it in there | 18:48 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I din't even consider a guid | 18:48 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I was writing "thisismymachineidsongitisntverylong" | 18:49 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> It looks like that is only used for playing DRM protected content so I don't thing that it will fix the browser | 18:49 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Well I'll want that eventually, xD good to know, I chose chrome so I could netflix | 18:49 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Honestly I would go with Debian or Ubuntu as it will be easier to get the movidius working on that. I don't believe slack is supported so it would require a lot of hacking around to get it to work | 18:53 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> oh that's an interesting point | 18:53 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> to be fair, slack is already that | 18:53 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Ubuntu is technically the only supported distribution but I am able to get it working on Debian with the addition of 2 lines to the install.sh file | 18:54 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I'm going to try and build mozilla-nss from source first | 19:01 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I don't know how I feel about there being like 20 build systems | 19:05 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> autotools, cmake, scons, ninja | 19:05 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> and so on | 19:05 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Is there a way to add a folder of lib's to a system in a way that's easy to clean up? | 19:12 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I see suggestions of using a bunch of ln's but I don't think that's easy to clean up | 19:12 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Add libs to your libs path | 19:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> what's the libs path variable? | 19:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> my LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be empty | 19:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> LD_LIBRARY_PATH | 19:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Man ldconfig | 19:15 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Ldconfig is another way to load a lib path | 19:15 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> annnd that was it | 19:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I had to build nss, which meant I had to install gyp and install ninja, and then add nss to the library path | 19:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Ldconfig or ld lib path? | 19:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I just did a simple LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I'll need to do something about making it stick | 19:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I actually don't know where to place this and how to add it permanently | 19:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> its sort of just sitting in tmp atm | 19:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> 😢 It won't even connect to the internet | 19:18 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> ERROR:cert_verify_proc_nss.cc(974)] CERT_PKIXVerifyCert for www.netflix.com failed err=-5992 | 19:18 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> ldconfig or add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path-to/my/libs/; to /etc/profile | 19:19 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> This is very helpful thank you! | 19:19 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> You're welcome! I knew that all that time and money I put into Linux certs would pay off one day :D | 19:20 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> XD | 19:20 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> TIL that the grandson of the guy who designed the character art for Monopoly also wrote Bash | 20:02 |
| floridagram-bot | <ahoneybun> Link? | 20:05 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Discovered it through wikipedia, sec | 20:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Fox_(computer_programmer) | 20:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> What the heck is a desbian desktop environment :O | 20:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I can select it separately from xfce and gnome | 20:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> i'm afraid to ask | 20:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I'm considering installing budgie for the desktop | 20:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> n/m I'll go for KDE for now | 20:36 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Well I installed the nvidia drivers, set up hardware acceleration, but I've got some screen tearing everywhere | 21:15 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> scrolling in chrome, netflix in chrome, etc. | 21:15 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> ah, might've been the kde compositor | 21:16 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> weird.. can't get it to change, maybe trying xfce next to see if its kde | 21:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> annnd.. fixed | 21:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> KDE's compositor was causng screen tearing. | 21:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> and here I am back at xfce | 21:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> As always. | 21:32 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> so the kindle i got from the grid has a cracked screen | 22:36 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> d'oh | 23:08 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Ouch | 23:15 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> @KMyers I think there's something to your stories about using linux to get away from windows | 23:25 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I've spent all day messing with the same type of config errors as I do for work but somehow they stress me out less on linux | 23:25 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Yeh... No regrets but it did not do what I planned in the first place | 23:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> haha | 23:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Also it turns out I may need to either reinstall windows on a smaller drive or get a 500gb ssd | 23:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> My nvme was 500gb | 23:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I gotta get away from xfce though, been using it too long | 23:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> a lot of the CUDA libraries seem to expect 18.04 so I may have to standardize on that until dig through the .deb's and unpack them and see what they're made of | 23:27 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I think it's just a tar archive with some config text | 23:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Slackbuilds had a file that actually extracted from a .deb | 23:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I saw one at best buy for about 74, is this one better? let me look | 23:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-860-evo-500gb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive-for-laptops/6178650.p?skuId=6178650 | 23:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> n/m same price | 23:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> @KMyers This worth it? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-512gb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive-for-laptops/5969506.p?skuId=5969506 | 23:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Seems like more memory for a cheaper price | 23:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <ahoneybun> If it was 1TB I might do it since a spinning disk is crap with Windows. | 23:30 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I am partial to Samsung but you can't go wrong either way | 23:31 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> It looks like it was twice as expensive before so might be a decent quality | 23:31 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I'll give it a run | 23:31 |
