[03:32] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[04:13] <M_aD> lotuspsychje: good morning :)
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> hey M_aD
[06:26] <ducasse> good morning
[16:07] <M_aD> Anyone of you using the Ubuntu Unity Remix?
[16:08] <lotuspsychje> adding bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsys/+bug/1886214 to the -discuss bug team as ive seen multiple users reporting it lately
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> M_aD: i had some early netbooks where that first ubuntu remix was running on, been a while since ive seen it
[16:14] <tomreyn> https://ubuntuunity.org/ lists established support channels, in case you're looking for any
[16:15] <M_aD> not looking for support, was just asking. We have a irc channel too now.
[16:16] <M_aD> or should i have taken it to -offtopic instead?
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> no its ok here
[16:17] <lotuspsychje> its a discussion, and its about ubuntu :p
[16:17] <M_aD> ok, thanks for letting know :)
[16:18] <lotuspsychje> M_aD: its the ubports guys continue the project?
[16:22] <M_aD> Ubuntu Unity Remix is done by a 10 year old boy who's known as rs2009 here on IRC. Unity 7 is maintained by the community.
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> M_aD: what would you say the benefits are of the new remix?
[16:29] <M_aD> been using it for a week now but never really thought about that. i just like unity
[16:30] <lotuspsychje> M_aD: normal unity desktop is also still a thing on 20.04
[16:31] <M_aD> that's what Ubuntu Unity is
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> M_aD: but you are talking about remix, thats something else right
[16:32] <M_aD> my bad, i meant the Ubuntu Unity project to which tomreyn gave the link
[16:34]  * M_aD is still tired from work and has to go again in a couple of hours
[16:35] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu remix old, unity7, unity8, unity remix new, ubuntu unity desktop lol
[16:35] <lotuspsychje> pick n choose
[16:36] <M_aD> don't confuse me now
[16:36] <M_aD> :D
[16:37] <M_aD> lotuspsychje: it's this one: https://ubuntuunity.org/
[16:37] <lotuspsychje> i know im just messing around :p
[16:38] <M_aD> oh you tease
[16:40] <tomreyn> in case you contribute to it and would like to make it show up here https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours you could /join #ubuntu-flavors and read up on how to make it a recognized flavor
[16:43] <tomreyn> because "Ubuntu" is trademarked (and i think canonmical cares about this somewhat nowadays), keeping the name in a non recognized flavour could bring up the need to discuss this. maybe unity is a special case, though, not sure.
[16:54] <M_aD> tomreyn: you might need to contact the project lead rs2009 about that. Afaik popey joined in on Telegram a while ago but i don't know how far he is involved in it.
[16:55] <tomreyn> M_aD: okay, i don't care at all, just thought you might
[16:57] <M_aD> I joined in just recently and offered help as Op in the IRC channel in case more people might join in there. I'll pass it on to the project lead. I might and hope to get involved more though in the future.
[16:59] <tomreyn> :) nice, good luck there!
[17:00] <M_aD> thanks :)
[17:14] <M_aD> he answered... that was fast
[17:15] <M_aD> tomreyn: The Unity7 Maintainers had taken permission from Canonical and the Ubuntu Desktop team to use the name Ubuntu Unity Remix. In fact, Alan Pope himself had approved this name for the project when I'd started it. And I'll be trying for official flavor status like the other remixes.
[17:15] <M_aD> that was his reply
[17:26] <tomreyn> M_aD: nice. as i mentioned, i don't personally care at all, but it'll be relevant to the project, so that's good.
[19:20] <sarnold> tomreyn: what the heck wizardry are you doing over there? :)
[19:21] <tomreyn> sarnold: trying to work around buggy bioses, like every other day. ;)
[19:22] <tomreyn> unfortunately i can't claim to fully understand what i'm doing, just know it has helped before.
[19:22] <tomreyn> black magic!
[19:25] <sarnold> tomreyn: I'll say, I've never seen these options enable_mtrr_cleanup
[19:26] <tomreyn> sarnold: maybe you never had a buggy enough bios to care?
[19:26] <tomreyn> or just buggy elsewhere ;)
[19:28] <sarnold> tomreyn: a non-buggy bios? :D
[19:28] <sarnold> certainly though I see a *lot* of bioses in bugreports that are clearly much worse than the ones I usually see
[19:29] <tomreyn> i did correct what i said! ;-)
[19:29] <tomreyn> this one is sufficently mediocre to make you spend time on it
[19:30] <tomreyn> if you search for acpi on https://termbin.com/3uf7
[19:31] <tomreyn> curl https://termbin.com/3uf7 | grep -E 'ACPI (BIOS )? Error'
[19:37] <sarnold> man there's a lot of "*BAD*gran_size:" in there
[19:38] <sarnold> .. and so many acpi bios bugs
[19:42] <tomreyn> some classes of acpi bugs are benign, but i'm not always sure which one
[20:34] <tomreyn> no luck with black magic this time
[20:39] <sarnold> :(
[20:39] <daftykins> what about The Offspring - Dirty Magic ?
[20:39] <daftykins> \o/
[20:43] <tomreyn> that might help, not with falling alseep though
[21:10] <marcoagpinto> Hello
[22:57] <marcoagpinto> is anyone there?!
[22:58]  * sarnold hides his ginger ale
[22:58] <marcoagpinto> what are you doing up at midnight?
[22:58] <marcoagpinto> :p
[23:00] <sarnold> it's 1600 here
[23:00] <sarnold> I'm still working
[23:01] <marcoagpinto> ahhhhh
[23:01] <marcoagpinto> :)
[23:02] <marcoagpinto> I was waiting for midnight to send a birthday e-mail
[23:02] <sarnold> very proactive! I normally lose track of time and send emails around 1am ..
[23:03] <marcoagpinto> that is why I only took my pills minutes ago
[23:03] <marcoagpinto> so that I had a fresh brain
[23:03] <marcoagpinto> if I had taken them two or three hours ago I would be sleeping
[23:03] <marcoagpinto> :)
[23:18] <marcoagpinto> there goes daftykins with the netsplit
[23:22] <marcoagpinto> night, all, take care
