nt0hello.  i've got an xps 9560 laptop which uses nvidia optimus graphics switching.  the status of linux optimus is a common topic on the web and it is difficult to sort things out.  stopped in to ask if any of you have experience or insight.  i'd like to ditch windows completely but want to be sure that i can use the gpu for cuda/&c while relying on intel igpu for most purposes.00:32
nt0curious as to how well the switching works in the upcoming 19.10 release00:33

lotuspsychjesaaam: lsb_release -a05:33
lotuspsychjesaaam: also if this was in interrupted lts upgrade, you might look at your sources.list05:33
saaamHrm. I don't have a system to login at the moment. Would `lsb_release -a` show upgrade history?05:34
lotuspsychjesaaam: no, thats for telling your current ubuntu release05:34
lotuspsychjesaaam: but in some cases, we see interrupted upgrades have mixxed sources and leftovers05:35
saaamRight. I already know the current. E.g. 14.04. I need to find out whether the end-client upgraded from 12.04, or did a fresh 14.04 install.05:35
lotuspsychjesaaam: doing apt full upgrade can also sort stuff, apt is smart05:35
saaamSadly, this isn't about the upgrade.05:36
saaamThis is about figuring out whether the end client was... inattentive, left U12.04 systems around for a while, and then upgraded to U14.04 and is trying to pass them off as that, and hide the unpatched/exposed time.05:36
saaamKind of an odd thing, I know.05:36
saaamIt's for DD.05:36
Bashing-omsaaam: Have a look in /var/log/installer .05:37
lotuspsychjesaaam: whatever you try, 14.04 would be end of life, so apt will also give you errors as its not supported anymore05:38
lotuspsychjeso no way your gonna be able to fix things, unless you go for ESM first05:38
saaamAhh. Thanks, Bashing-om. Good one.05:38
saaamlotuspsychje: Yeah, I know. But client doesn't want to pay for ESM for a 14.04 system that may be a quick upgrade on top of a long-exposed 12.04 system. They'd rather force a manual greenfield rebuild of those systems into supported versions.05:39
lotuspsychjeright05:40
saaam"Kill it with fire." isn't a valid strategy here, unfortunately.05:41
saaamI recommended that.05:41

EoflaOEmarcoagpinto: It can make *real* test JSONs that you can use in test applications. You add blocks, and it will generate it.13:20
marcoagpintobasically ZIPX files with AES-25613:20
EoflaOEHow are you akemhp?13:20
akemhpEoflaOE, Doing good! chilling on the web/working on some projects. You?13:21

akemhpI don't know about JSON files, what programming language you using?13:22
EoflaOEakemhp: VB.NET can have NuGet references, and one of them has Newtonsoft.Json that interacts with JSONs.13:23
akemhpOkay.13:24
