[15:22] <pagios> is KODI best for home enterainment to link to tv using RPI ? 
[15:25] <leftyfb> pagios: "best" is relative
[15:25] <leftyfb> pagios: it depends on your needs
[15:25] <pagios> wanna play videos/music at home
[15:25] <leftyfb> pagios: so you want to run a full media center running ubuntu desktop on a raspberry pi?
[15:25] <pagios> yea
[15:26] <pagios> or a plain OS for media server i dont mind
[15:27] <leftyfb> pagios: I would suggest asking in #raspberrypi for a more appropriate solution
[15:27] <leftyfb> running a media center on top of ubuntu desktop on a pi isn't going to run all that well
[16:09] <lotuspsychje> havent tested myself, but some users claim the ubuntu pi edition runs pretty smooth?
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> and some kodi specs; https://kodi.wiki/view/Supported_hardware
[17:14] <daftykins> you would not put a base ubuntu on a Pi to run Kodi fwiw, makes a lot more sense to choose something like LibreELEC
[17:15] <daftykins> there are many Pi models at this point too, simply stating 'Pi' is as bad as those that say their CPU is an "i3", "i5" etc... given there are 14 generations now
[17:21] <tomreyn> "i have a hp laptop!"
[17:22] <jeremy31> That is a problem we can fix
[17:22] <tomreyn> only if you knew my address :)
[17:23] <jeremy31> I was going to recommend using a hammer to fix the problem
[17:23] <arraybolt3> tomreyn: lol, you talkin' 'bout me?
[17:24] <daftykins> then there'd be more of them :o
[17:24] <tomreyn> arraybolt3: you got an hp laptop, too?
[17:24] <jeremy31> I finally retired my HP, was from 2018
[17:25] <tomreyn> arraybolt3: oh, hadn't seen what you posted to #ubuntu, yet :)
[17:25] <daftykins> 2018 isn't an old machine o0
[17:26] <arraybolt3> Mine is from 2012
[17:26] <arraybolt3> HP Elitebook 8570p. Awesome machine, very good build quality and lasted me years.
[17:27] <arraybolt3> Rep!aced it with a Kubuntu Focus XE Gen 1, way newer, way faster, way thinner, and very good Linux support.
[17:27] <jeremy31> I broke the antenna connectors of in the antennas
[17:28] <arraybolt3> ouch
[17:28] <daftykins> just for the WiFi module? easy replacement surely
[17:28] <arraybolt3> If you're that hungry, eat food, not the screen
[17:29] <jeremy31> daftykins: I had some external antennas connected to a new wifi card for a while but they didn't seem to work as well
[17:29]  * arraybolt3 has a laptop that looks like someone stabbed the corner of it with a fork
[17:33] <daftykins> jeremy31: what form did that take, bodging it into a card in an internal slot or just an external adapter?
[17:34] <daftykins> i know how badly some laptops can be assembled for the thought of replacing the full antennas, especially given they tend to run up into the display etc 
[17:35] <jeremy31> I think it was 12 screws to remove the bottom, replacing the card was easy.  Got better performance from a USB wifi
[17:35] <daftykins> i was thinking in terms that it seemed like you said you attached external antennas to an internal card, so i was imagining holes cut in an access panel to trail them out of :D
[17:36] <jeremy31> Ran the wires through the cooling port on the side
[17:39] <jeremy31> john1_36 might have an impossible situation, from what I found the directory in /var/cdnn???? should have had the gpg key but the numbers don't match the key he is missing
