| lordievader | Good morning | 06:03 |
| marcoagpinto | Heya | 06:12 |
| ducasse | good morning | 06:31 |
| Mekaneck | Allie: looks like they are back in offtopic as vagaj4 and misbehaving again. However they left. Just keep an eye on it please. | 09:11 |
| Allie | Mekaneck: ah stunning, ban evasion is something i can certainly look into | 09:17 |
| Mekaneck | thanks :) | 09:17 |
| Mekaneck | iirc you didn't ban them from #ubuntu-offtopic yesterday but just quieted them. They were banned from #ubuntu however. | 09:18 |
| Allie | Mekaneck: i shall have drone upgrade the ban if they return on v4 | 09:19 |
| Mekaneck | they are still in offtopic as mundelj | 09:19 |
| Mekaneck | Allie: roger | 09:20 |
| Allie | a discussion is being had, since they do seem to be a particularly strong font of drivel. | 09:20 |
| Mekaneck | they probably used another IP or maybe a proxy to get in offtopic again | 09:21 |
| Mekaneck | alright | 09:21 |
| Allie | and whilst it mostly seems they want to make friends, not respecting "go away" is more of a problem | 09:21 |
| Mekaneck | this isn't acceptable: [03:11:17] <vagaj4> can i put my penis in acetone? [03:11:28] <vagaj4> just want to ask | 09:23 |
| Mekaneck | Anyway, thanks Allie for looking into it :) | 09:25 |
| oerheks | Windows 11 is no longer compatible with Oracle VirtualBox, hurray for KVM! | 10:51 |
| Mekaneck | i don't even care for windows at all | 11:04 |
| guiverc | Mekaneck, if it wasn't for windows on the wall; I'd not be able to see outside at all.. windows aren't all that bad even if one type is :) | 11:30 |
| Mekaneck | lol | 11:32 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 11:38 |
| marcoagpinto | lol | 12:11 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 12:11 |
| marcoagpinto | I won't update to Windows 11 | 12:12 |
| marcoagpinto | unless I buy a new laptop that comes with it | 12:12 |
| Mekaneck | you probably can't upgrade to W11, all depends on your machine if it's compatible and has TPM 2.0 | 12:26 |
| Mekaneck | also they will force you to have a webcam to run W11 in the near future | 12:26 |
| Mekaneck | i'd switch to linux only if i were you, support for W10 ends in 2025 | 12:27 |
| daftykins | Mekaneck: lol what nonsense are you spreading? | 12:57 |
| TJ- | presumably https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/08/27/update-on-windows-11-minimum-system-requirements-and-the-pc-health-check-app/ | 13:03 |
| TJ- | there's been talk about the minimum hardware requirements being applied to VM guests, and breaking VirtualBox as a result, despite MS saying the minimum hardware requirements do not apply to virtual machines | 13:04 |
| daftykins | the webcam claim is what i'm considering nonsense | 13:15 |
| daftykins | certainly some eyebrow raising choices all in all | 13:25 |
| TJ- | oh, I think that was hyperbole | 13:27 |
| TJ- | as in 'what next!? webcams?' | 13:28 |
| daftykins | i don't | 13:29 |
| daftykins | TJ-: had a fun one the other day, 2.7 kW oven heating element blew mid-cook of fish and chips, took out the power to the whole house :D | 13:30 |
| TJ- | ouch! | 13:30 |
| TJ- | we had a Land-Rover burst into flame whilst being driven past the farm last evening; luckily they got out in time but it's melted the lane | 13:31 |
| daftykins | wowzer | 13:31 |
| TJ- | I was driving past it to block the lane when a tyre explosed; flames were about 5 metres high at that point | 13:31 |
| Mekaneck | daftykins: i read the webcam nonsense somewhere a while ago, can't recall where though | 13:35 |
| daftykins | i have a feeling a lot of the nonsense news will go away after release | 13:36 |
| leftyfb | I worry about my car bursting into flames almost every day | 13:57 |
| Mekaneck | Allie: mundelj is active again in #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:22 |
| Allie | Mekaneck: noted. eyes on them. | 15:23 |
| Mekaneck | thanks | 15:23 |
| oerheks | "New malware strain dubbed 'Sanya'. Sanya targets Windows via the Windows subsystem for Linux."... | 16:45 |
| lotuspsychje | : o | 16:46 |
| Mekaneck | looks like mundelj also evaded his ban in #linux-offtopic, pinged the Op there about the matter | 17:13 |
| Mekaneck | mundelj!~s@2.26.176.128 from yester day and mundelj!~s@91.110.123.38 from today | 17:15 |
| hggdh | Mekaneck: they did not, it seems, the ban expired at 14:57 UTC today | 17:15 |
| hggdh | (at least for today, in #u-offtopic) | 17:15 |
| Mekaneck | not in linux-offtopic afaik | 17:16 |
| Mekaneck | and ubuntu-offtopic he wasn't banned, just quieted | 17:16 |
| hggdh | 4:57:29 -- | Notice(Drone): [#ubuntu-offtopic] Drone sets [#154 -q *!*@2.26.176.128 - mundelj!~s@2.26.176.128, 1d 0h 18s] │ | 17:16 |

| Mekaneck | that wasn't a ban :) | 17:17 |
| hggdh | indeed | 17:17 |

| goddard | when do the nvidia drivers usually get updated after nvidia releases? | 21:23 |
| Mekaneck | not | 21:28 |
| goddard | Mekaneck: sorry? | 21:51 |
| Mekaneck | they don't get updated on ubuntu unless you use a PPA | 21:53 |
| Mekaneck | at least that's what i remember from years ago | 21:54 |
| Mekaneck | if you use the ones from the repo then that's what you get afaik and those won't be updated | 21:55 |
| sarnold | goddard: it depends upon the series you're using, check the packages | 21:55 |
| sarnold | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/+publishinghistory | 21:55 |
| sarnold | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-460/+publishinghistory | 21:55 |
| sarnold | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-450/+publishinghistory | 21:55 |
| sarnold | ... | 21:55 |
| goddard | yeah i was looking at that ppa | 21:56 |
| goddard | looks like it still hasn't released the newest yet | 21:56 |
| goddard | https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/180475/en-us | 21:57 |
| sarnold | it's not a ppa, it's just the archive | 21:57 |
| sarnold | goddard: oh nice, a test case that's here and now :) | 21:57 |
| goddard | what is involved with packaging up the nvidia drivers | 22:11 |
| daftykins | probably great pain and hair loss | 22:12 |
| goddard | is nvidia's .run file an archive ? | 22:12 |
| daftykins | that's a binary | 22:12 |
| goddard | haha | 22:12 |
| daftykins | wouldn't recommend version chasing | 22:12 |
| sarnold | no kidding | 22:12 |
| sarnold | let our guy do it | 22:12 |
| goddard | it lets me open it with neovim | 22:13 |
| goddard | you can put ELF binary data in a shell script? | 22:13 |
| goddard | 800 lines of shell then a giant ELF | 22:14 |
| sarnold | sure | 22:15 |
| sarnold | shar archives were doing that before there was an ELF | 22:15 |
| sarnold | coverity distributes their gunk that way, and apparently so does nvidia | 22:16 |
| sarnold | it's not real popular among foss folks but proprietary people seem to love it | 22:16 |
| daftykins | anything to be different! | 22:16 |
| daftykins | ;) | 22:16 |
| goddard | is it some program that packages it for them? | 22:20 |
| goddard | :q | 22:21 |
| sarnold | chances are good they wrote it themselves, but yeah | 22:21 |
| goddard | whoops | 22:21 |
| goddard | ahh | 22:22 |
| goddard | probably fun working at nvidia | 22:22 |
| goddard | love AMD drivers though | 22:25 |
| goddard | hopefully their next gen cards are better than nvidia | 22:25 |
| goddard | or maybe Intel will pull a rabbit out of the hat | 22:25 |
| sarnold | unlikely :) | 22:25 |
| goddard | ya sadly | 22:25 |
| sarnold | they're having trouble with CPUs these days, relatively speaking | 22:25 |
| goddard | but two open source driver companies is cool | 22:26 |
| sarnold | I mean, I've always looked specifically for intel graphics on my systems because I don't want to deal with the hassle :) but I don't think they come anywhere close to the performance of amd/nvidia | 22:26 |
| daftykins | nope! | 22:27 |
| goddard | no and their new graphics are not well supported | 22:27 |
| goddard | i have a xe 1 or whatever they are calling it in the 11th gen chips and it just not can play doom eternal | 22:27 |
| goddard | sorry didn't get my license to type yet | 22:28 |
| goddard | haha | 22:28 |
| goddard | just NOW can play doom eternal | 22:28 |
| daftykins | hmm must be at low res, low detail | 22:28 |
| goddard | doom is pretty optimized but yet only 720p | 22:28 |
| goddard | works well though with latest kernel and latest mesa | 22:32 |
