[00:52] <phillipsjk> On the plus side, I don't have to reload the LiveDVD too often because suspend mode seems to work. Did not see a menu option, but the keyboard suspend button works.
[01:14] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all

[11:08] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:16] <marcoagpinto> BluesKaj! Hello!
[11:16] <BluesKaj> hi marcoagpinto
[11:16] <marcoagpinto> :)
[15:31] <OerHeks> interesting, .. https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/4/contributions/281/attachments/216/435/LPC_2019_kernel_fastboot_on_the_way.pdf
[15:35] <TJ-> OerHeks:  rather telling its Intel's own i915 driver causing the major issue
[15:36] <OerHeks> well, i like the story about this fastboot and rules for cars, up in 2 sec
[15:37] <OerHeks> but sure, they should fix it and then publish
[15:38] <TJ-> "i915 driver’s 32 times DPCD register read" (slide 20)
[15:39] <TJ-> seems the 1-second delay for the i915 driver is due to the unusual hypervisor
[15:40] <OerHeks> uhuh, "the i915 framebuffer device takes 1 second to initialize which is caused by the hypervisor"
[15:40] <OerHeks> lot of work to do
[15:40] <TJ-> the list of details at the end in the Backup section is interesting
[15:40] <OerHeks> and the last slide .. yes
[15:40] <OerHeks>  Detecting the IRQ number of UART costs 250ms
[15:40] <OerHeks>  Better avoid IRQ auto detection
[15:42] <TJ-> Sounds like this is Intel trying to get its CPUs into the embedded automotive market
[15:43] <TJ-> bet it goes about as well as their cellular modem chipsets, now sold to Apple
[15:43] <OerHeks> 5G ..
[15:45] <TJ-> Interesting report though
[15:46] <OerHeks> indeed, my first look inside this development.. may well come to the desktop though
[15:46] <TJ-> ironic the claims made for ACRN seeing as how it causes many of the delays though! Claimed to have "real time" "in mind"  https://projectacrn.org/
[15:46] <OerHeks> fast & secureboot, no problems
[15:47] <TJ-> looks to be very China-located
[15:48] <TJ-> ironic in the features list under "Real Time" they list "Enables faster boot time" :D
[15:49] <TJ-> https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
[15:50] <TJ-> yes, that confirms its an Intel driven project, security reports gpgp encrypted to Intel Product Security team
[15:52] <OerHeks> i would think it would have more units, one that never goes down .. like the spaceshuttle, 5 computers,
[15:55] <TJ-> OerHeks: I think this is not for really critical systems
[15:55] <TJ-> OerHeks: entertainment system, cameras, Android ... says it all
[15:55] <TJ-> if it were critical put each on its own CPU/IO
[15:58] <EoflaOE> Hello everyone
[15:59] <OerHeks> hi EoflaOE
[16:00] <EoflaOE> Hello OerHeks
[16:00] <EoflaOE> How are you?
[16:02] <OerHeks> just a lazy sunday, how about you?
[16:05] <marcoagpinto> hey guys and girls
[16:08] <OerHeks> hi marco
[16:08] <marcoagpinto> :)
[16:26] <tomreyn> do you use irqbalance? also on single socket (UP) systems?
[16:26] <marcoagpinto> tomreyn, dear one! :)
[16:27] <tomreyn> i withdraw my question, read the package description wrong, will keep using it.
[16:28] <tomreyn> hi marco
[16:44] <marcoagpinto> guys?! Will there be a 512-bit support Ubuntu?
[16:44] <marcoagpinto> some Intel chips support 512-bit extensions or whatever
[16:44] <marcoagpinto> :)
[16:46] <TJ-> what?
[16:46] <marcoagpinto> what? what?
[16:46] <marcoagpinto> :)
[16:52] <marcoagpinto> TJ-: Intel® AVX-512
[16:53] <marcoagpinto> 512 bit extensions
[16:55] <TJ-> not in the way you're meaning ... these are special instructions/registers for handling some crypto in hardware
[16:56] <TJ-> the vector extensions are not general purpose op codes
[16:58] <marcoagpinto> TJ-: I thought they were for scientific calculations?
[16:59] <marcoagpinto> so that scientists could research faster?
[16:59] <marcoagpinto> and find cures faster?
[17:03] <TJ-> marcoagpinto: AVX is an evolution of the earlier SIMD instructions from MMX, SSE etc. A big driver for the wider registers 256/512 has been increased reliance on cryptography and requiring hardware support to speed it up
[17:04] <marcoagpinto> ohhhhhhhhh
[17:42] <lotuspsychje> freaky realtek :p
[17:44] <marcoagpinto> lordcirth_!
[17:44] <marcoagpinto> I mean: lotuspsychje!
[17:45] <lotuspsychje> hi
[17:45] <marcoagpinto> hey
[17:51] <marcoagpinto> [18:34] <marcoagpinto> Metal is eternal!!! Hail Metal!!! >:)
[17:51] <marcoagpinto> [18:34] <marcoagpinto> I am listening to Manowar!
[17:51] <marcoagpinto> good metal!
[17:52] <lotuspsychje> marcoagpinto: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:52] <marcoagpinto> ahhhh
[17:52] <marcoagpinto> sorry...
[17:52] <marcoagpinto> right
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: got currently 2 realtek wifi bugs on kernel 5.0...
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> lotuspsychje: Is RealTek a brand?
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> because my 2009 laptop has it
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> :)
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> an ASUS
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> one flickering screen, worked around with cstate and one iwlwifi fixxed in the oem sp 1 kernel
[17:54] <lotuspsychje> marcoagpinto: yes realtek is a brand
[17:54] <marcoagpinto> ahhhhhhh
[17:59] <marcoagpinto> ahhhh... a silly question: will it be possible for icons to have images on future Ubuntus?
[17:59] <marcoagpinto> for example, the Tor browser has a different icon
[17:59] <marcoagpinto> just wondering if it could happen with all apps
[18:00] <marcoagpinto> usually the images are the same
