lotuspsychjewelcome unRheal13:25
lotuspsychjeunRheal: #ubuntu is the support channel, we try to divide support with discussions in the proper channels, hence this discuss channel13:26
lotuspsychjeunRheal: did you ask about compiling kernels for a specific reason of yours, or just curious?13:27
unRhealsorry... but I am having many troubles, setting up my dev env, I re-installed 18.04 LTS 3 or so times, and then I tried (and currently on) 20.04 LTS.13:32
unRhealMy network doesn't show up in the settings app, and my keyboard used to light up, but stopped for some reason, and I keep looking for drivers.. my ethernet card apparently has some known issues..13:34
unRhealThen a few boots ago, something like hotplug-monitor or similar crashed, and added my "me too" to the list of people affected, but I rebooted after it crashed, and when I re-started, my phone (which was plugged into the USB, and mounted, but I ejected it before reboot) will no longer pop up when I plug it in. Even if I select other locations.. plus, when I did do that reboot, "Windows Network" showed up for the very13:39
unRhealfirst time in Files, but it always just says Unable to access location when I click it. (failed to retrieve share list from server: No such file or directory)13:39
unRhealI just turned 53 today, so I need to get the rust off my brain before I run out of time, as I have some projects I've been trying to set up a dev env for, and have to re-compile Tensorflow because the new version uses some instructions that came out about 8 months after I bought my $1200 CPU (some years back, of course)13:41
unRhealand sorry, I don't expect you to solve all my problems, I was just sort of laying it out for you.. you've already been more helpful than the vast majority. Cheers13:42
lotuspsychjeunRheal: to solve ubuntu problems, try to ask 1 issue at time in #ubuntu with all your details to solve them systematicly13:45
unRheallotuspsychje: sounds reasonable.  :)  How do you get my name in front of your messages, I'm pretty sure you're not typing it..13:46
lotuspsychje!tab | unRheal13:47
lotuspsychjeunRheal: type a few lettres of my nick, then autocomplete with your TAB13:48
unRheallotuspsychje, ahh!  Dankee! much appreciated.13:48
unRheallotuspsychje, not quite right? how do you mean by the bang tab and then you pipe it?13:50
lotuspsychjeyou can see its working13:50
unRheallotuspsychje, yes, but you have a : after my name, and I have a comma..?13:51
lotuspsychjeunRheal: thats bound to your irc client, you can edit that in its settings13:52
lotuspsychjeim using hexchat, changed it into :13:52
unRhealYes, Hexchat seems most straight forward so far...  I tried quassel, but irc was all greyed out at first, and I was getting tired of continuously searching for little things like that, due to my brain rust and new software and methods ..13:55
unRheallotuspsychje: i see :)13:58
unRhealdoes my nick change colour when I do that? (as yours does for me)14:00
lotuspsychjeunRheal: highlighting is also something the client does, also configurable in settings to your wishes14:02
unRheallotuspsychje: once again, almost like they planned it that way.  Thanks!   I think I will try popping back to ubuntu and see if anyone responds to my Ethernet not showing up in the settings (which it did find in all 3 18.04 installs oddly enough..) do you think that's a good way to start, right channel for the question and all that good stuff?14:06
unRheal"Which it did find..."  == "Which it did fine..."14:07
unRheallotuspsychje: curious - how'd you come up with the nick... If you don't mind me asking, of course.14:11
unRheallotuspsychje: and I'll stop pestering you, you've been very helpful and generous with your time. My time is so valuable these days.. getting old enough that some of the rust on my brainpan may not come off.. but I'm motivated, and that's highly unusual.14:14
sonicwindhappy bday unRheal14:14
unRhealThank you kindly. Time is going faster. 2 or so years ago, I couldn't care less, but now I have been inspired and have projects in mind. 53 years, and found someone on youtube who is the first person I could think of as a mentor, if he had any spare time at all.. (Sam Harris)14:22
