lotuspsychjegood morning to all03:55
EoflaOEHello lotuspsychje07:22
lunamorning07:24
EoflaOEgood morning07:25
EoflaOEhow are you?07:27
lunaalright07:29
EoflaOE.I am doing fine07:31
BluesKajHowdy folks11:01
EoflaOEhi BluesKaj11:01
BluesKajhi EoflaOE11:02
EoflaOEHow was your day?11:02
BluesKajhaving morning coffee atm, how about you?11:04
EoflaOEI am doing fine11:04
lotuspsychjehey EoflaOE11:08
EoflaOEHello lotuspsychje11:08
lotuspsychjeEoflaOE: hows your UWN journey?11:09
EoflaOElotuspsychje: Good11:09
EoflaOEHow about you?11:09
lotuspsychjeall good on this side tnx11:09
EoflaOEYou're welcome. Thanks11:10
BluesKajthink I'll retire my rpi3, don't feel like mucking about with it atm11:18
lotuspsychjeyou would love a nuc BluesKaj11:18
EoflaOEBluesKaj: what is rpi3?11:19
BluesKajEoflaOE, https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/11:19
EoflaOEBluesKaj: Looking for that.11:20
EoflaOEYou reminded me. I almost forgot about rpi.11:21
BluesKajit's only weakness is the microsd cards which don't last very long due to the many read/writes it has to handle11:22
EoflaOEBluesKaj: OK.11:23
BluesKajI had mine booting from the sdcard with the / files on a hdd, but after the last upgrade it no longer boots11:23
BluesKajand I seldom use it anymore so I'll set it asibe for now11:25
BluesKajaside11:25
EoflaOEBluesKaj: OK. I had one of my HDDs failed in 2018 because of 5 years.11:25
EoflaOEOn my old PC11:25
BluesKajthe hdd here is ok , already checked it out11:26
EoflaOENice. Now, I have 1 spare HDD running on my old PC with Lubuntu 19.10, and on my new PC, I am using VBox to run Ubuntu 19.10.11:27
BluesKajrunning Kubuntu 19.10 here on this pc11:29
BluesKajI don't bother with VMs11:29
EoflaOEVery awesome.11:29
BluesKajyeah, been a Kubuntu tester for the last 10yrs or so11:30
EoflaOENice. Since what Kubuntu version?11:31
BluesKajsince KDE4, but I used Kubuntu for 3 or 4 yrs previous to that11:32
BluesKajthink KDE4 was released in 200811:33
EoflaOENice. I discovered Ubuntu in 2012 when I was 8, and actually used it in 2016.11:34
BluesKajneat11:35
EoflaOEThanks. I also joined Launchpad and #ubuntu in that usage year.11:35
BluesKajnot many bugs to report to launchpad on 19.10, it's very stable for dev OS11:39
EoflaOEYes. It just got more stable. When you were testing Kubuntu, are you reporting bugs?11:40
BluesKajsometimes, but usually one of the devs discovers them before I do11:41
EoflaOENice.11:42
EoflaOEBluesKaj: Do you know about irclogs.ubuntu.com?11:47
BluesKajyes, but my client keeps channel logs right in my home dir11:49
EoflaOEMy clients that I use keep logs, too.11:50
BluesKajirc client that is, Konversation11:51
EoflaOEOK. I use the following clients: IRC for Android, mIRC (new PC, Windows), HexChat (old PC)11:52
lunai always use irssi11:53
EoflaOEluna: Nice, so irssi runs on the console. It is text-based. I have heard about it before, but used it for a few.11:54
BluesKajhey luna, irssi is handy in emergencies. if I can't get to the desktop, but I haven't needed it in yrs11:55
jeremy31I use irccloud11:56
TalikkaI use irssi and ircclud free. I don't know which one is better. I am a traditionalist.13:08

lotuspsychjetomreyn: what does this mean? Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth Directory Watch.17:04
TJ-lotuspsychje: it's a service17:04
lotuspsychjenever noticed that before17:05
lotuspsychjeStarted Show Plymouth Boot Screen. this yes17:05
TJ-lotuspsychje: see "systemctl cat systemd-ask-password-plymouth.path"17:06
lotuspsychjetnx17:06
lotuspsychjeall kinds od weird things in his dmesg omg17:08
lotuspsychjesmells like a test pc, randomly install all kinds of stuff mixed17:12
lotuspsychjeapache, sql, clamav, bumblebee lol17:15
tomreynlotuspsychje: sorry, i missed your question here17:31
lotuspsychjeno sweat tomreyn17:31
lotuspsychjei was thinking along with that dmesg17:31
tomreyn31°C here, so yes, there's sweat ;)17:31
lotuspsychjeloll17:31
tomreynduo_ubuntu could certainly benefit from a more stretegic approach.17:32
lotuspsychjesounds like the nutty proffessor-dev installing tons of things at the time he thinks of it :p17:33
lotuspsychjethen end up with a warzone pc17:33
lotuspsychjei also do that sometimes, but hey we try to solve bugs sometimes17:34
tomreynit's ok to do this in a VM, but this is bare metal and seems to be his or her primary terminal17:36
lotuspsychjewelcome fromBeyond18:08
fromBeyondhi lotuspsychje18:08
lotuspsychjefromBeyond: do you use gnome on 19.04?18:09
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: yes. When I work, I am using i3wm, so I can use my OS and an IDE (arange windows, with vim, debugger, etc.), but otherwise yes18:12
lotuspsychjefromBeyond: but your current ubuntu is an upgrade from 18.04 to 19.04 correct?18:13
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: yes correct.18:13
fromBeyondPerhaps i mispoke about gnome, because i am using gnome-terminal, and thought it implies "yes"18:14
fromBeyond(i am a long time user of ubuntu, but i am far from an expert on it)18:14
lotuspsychjefromBeyond: did you try a fresh install 19.04 to compare system with mac/win?18:14
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: The difference i mentioned before, was present also in 18.04. Meaning that on my ubuntu machine, the benchmark was running at roughly the same speed (8-10ms). When I updated to 19.04, i didn't do a clean install, I just upgraded.18:17
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: but on windows, the same benchmark runs at 18-20 ms18:17
fromBeyondmentioned benchmark is purely computational, with multithreading18:17
lotuspsychjefromBeyond: to upgrade like that its 18.04=>18.10=>19.0418:18
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: I see. I did not know. I never upgraded before. I used 16 for a long time, than when i got a new machine i installed 18.0418:19
lotuspsychjefromBeyond: can you tell us more of your system and its purpose? did you use gnome on 18.04 or i3 too?18:20
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: I used i3 when working, and gnome otherwise18:21
TJ- fromBeyond  as I said earlier *profile* the program on those systems, that'll show you where time is taken18:21
fromBeyondmy system is a dell xps 15.18:21
fromBeyondTJ-: Yes, I arranged to get the profiles from windows in this time18:22
TJ-fromBeyond: it could be due to the kernel's pre-empt/scheduling configuration, for example18:22
fromBeyond(we all have same machines, but others run windows)18:22
fromBeyondyes, i see18:22
TJ-There's no point spending time guessing at random; collect data, analyse it18:23
fromBeyondyes18:23
fromBeyondall benchmarks i have ever ran from our codebase, always work quite faster on my ubuntu machine, than on theirs18:24
fromBeyondrecently i got the desire to understand why exactly this is happening18:24
fromBeyondi will collect the datafrom their machines18:24
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: my machine is a dell cps 15. It has intel i7. I write c++ code, for real time mesh processing.18:25
fromBeyondI deal with algorithms, so all my benchmarks are purely computational (no graphics).18:27
fromBeyondi tried the benchmark on gnome, and got the same result, just as fast as in i3. No significant difference18:27
lotuspsychjefromBeyond: you said you used 16.04 in the past? how was that compared as benchmark18:36
fromBeyondlotuspsychje: 16.04 was a bit slower on the benchmarks, but not significantly. But there is a difference.18:50
fromBeyondwill produce a graph, i have old results saved18:50
