|
| 07:24:26 PM | Sparklyballs | apple key
|
| 07:24:30 PM | Garbee | Apparently, I can't voice you.
|
| 07:25:32 PM | sr_wences | For 99% of most users, GIMP is not only adequate, but probably overkill.
|
| 07:26:04 PM | Garbee | Well, I'm heading out. Just wrapped up order listings. Onto showing and creating pages for them tomorrow.
|
| 07:26:10 PM | Garbee | You all have a good evening. Enjoy the rest of the show.

|
| 07:29:08 PM | sr_wences | My daughter's laptop had funny wireless drop-outs in Chromixium, but it has been running like a champ on Ubuntu Mate. Martin Wimpole is a programming god!

|
| 07:54:39 PM | Sparklyballs | i'm watching on kodi and it's about 15-20 seconds behind live.
|
| 07:55:17 PM | Sparklyballs | ugh, damn it, i knew i forgot something, i was gonna test running the show live feed via serviio
|
| 07:55:18 PM | sr_wences | Is it me, or is that woman in the Lynda ad next to the live stream *very* attractive?
|
| 07:55:39 PM | Sparklyballs | but my musicbrainz server going wonky threw me off.
|
| 07:56:16 PM | lyndon_ | sorry about that guys
|
| 07:56:56 PM | lyndon_ | ManglleFOX70' same question
|
| 07:58:53 PM | GoodGuy98 | 755
|
| 07:59:21 PM | Sparklyballs | stat external
|
| 07:59:26 PM | JeffWeston | good job goodguy98
|
| 07:59:45 PM | GoodGuy98 | r=4 w=2 x=1
|
| 08:00:06 PM | Sparklyballs | i can't be bothered working that noise out and just use stat
|
| 08:00:26 PM | Elroy | I'm watching on Roku and it seems very delayed too
|
| 08:02:21 PM | Sparklyballs | please check with the owner of the drive first, children
|
| 08:03:32 PM | GoodGuy98 | RobbieF became the owner after reformatting it :-)
|
| 08:03:58 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | feed is fine via web/pc
|
| 08:04:14 PM | Sparklyballs | chown -R www-data:www-data web
|
| 08:04:32 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | hey, I udpate stuff often...lol
|
| 08:04:56 PM | GoodGuy98 | What does the -R mean?
|
| 08:05:06 PM | Sparklyballs | recursive
|
| 08:05:11 PM | GoodGuy98 | recurse
|
| 08:05:17 PM | GoodGuy98 | Thought so
|
| 08:05:35 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | is the graphisc running slow, deblocking
|
| 08:07:55 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | beautiful experiences of a live production...lol
|
| 08:08:11 PM | GoodGuy98 | I thought you should do a sudo sync and then a halt
|
| 08:08:19 PM | lyndon_ | 238749648723648567298734659?

|
| 08:11:43 PM | revdjenk | Yes!
|
| 08:11:47 PM | Sparklyballs | nearly fried my htpc and killed my musicbrainz server.
|

|
| 08:11:54 PM | RobbieF | Season 9 is meant to be the best ever.
|
| 08:12:23 PM | Whiskey_Zero | Yea man! Looks like a neat way to to replace a 30 pound boat-anchor server under my desk.
|
| 08:12:26 PM | MangleFOX70` | yes!
|
| 08:12:35 PM | SoundPro69 | Sparkyballs, you have a MusicBrainz server? How's that?
|
| 08:12:48 PM | Elroy | Whiskey_Zero: and pi would be silent and suck almost no power
|
| 08:12:50 PM | oldsalt | RobbieF you're gonna make sure too
|
| 08:13:18 PM | SoundPro69 | Sparkyballs, I mean, what do you do, you share the load of the database?
|
| 08:13:36 PM | Whiskey_Zero | Yes the power savings would pay for the Pi
|
| 08:13:36 PM | Sparklyballs | just a mirror, lol.
|
| 08:13:46 PM | Sparklyballs | not a replicated server.
|
| 08:14:02 PM | SoundPro69 | Sparkyballs, Cool man!
|

|
| 08:23:46 PM | GoodGuy98 | RobbieF - I have an unusual problem. Our daughter gave us her old HP PC.. I can't see a mouse cursor when trying to install Linux.. Ubuntu type
|
| 08:24:25 PM | GoodGuy98 | It is a AMD Athlon64 3400+
|
| 08:24:49 PM | Sparklyballs | usb mouse ?
|
| 08:25:22 PM | GoodGuy98 | It is a USB mouse, but connected with a supplied PS2 connector
|
| 08:25:31 PM | revdjenk | that was going to be my question Sparklyballs
|
| 08:25:57 PM | GoodGuy98 | Mouse works fine on my wifes old AMD T-Bird Ubuntu install 10.04
|
| 08:25:58 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: is there a usb connection available
|
| 08:26:15 PM | GoodGuy98 | I tried it direct via USB... didnt work at all
|
| 08:26:47 PM | GoodGuy98 | I activated Legacy USB in the BIOS, but did not work that way either
|
| 08:26:49 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: keyboard works?
|
| 08:26:52 PM | GoodGuy98 | Yes
|
| 08:27:16 PM | Sparklyballs | tab key to select and hightlight menu options.
|
| 08:27:35 PM | GoodGuy98 | It has a nVidia GeForce FX5200XT AGP with 128mb video memory
|
| 08:28:09 PM | GoodGuy98 | You mean kernel options Sparklyballs ?
|
| 08:28:23 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | <--- Would watch live
|
| 08:28:26 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | on Sat
|
| 08:28:40 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: check the driver manager?
|
| 08:28:55 PM | GoodGuy98 | Linux isnt installed
|
| 08:28:55 PM | Sparklyballs | install options in the ubuntu install
|
| 08:29:26 PM | GoodGuy98 | I am trying to install a Linux, but w/o a mouse pointer, it is a hassle
|
| 08:29:36 PM | revdjenk | ahhhhh
|
| 08:29:42 PM | Sparklyballs | tab key for the win
|
| 08:30:02 PM | GoodGuy98 | Normally you run a Live CD and select install
|
| 08:30:25 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | like you need a bios based usb mouse driver
|
| 08:30:37 PM | revdjenk | GoodGuy98: have fun locating win driver for that mouse!
|
| 08:30:43 PM | GoodGuy98 | I think I tried the Tab key, but I'll try again when I get in the basement
|
| 08:30:47 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | the live install should load a mouse driver early on
|
| 08:31:02 PM | MangleFOX70` | :D
|
| 08:31:05 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | usb/serial
|
| 08:31:21 PM | GoodGuy98 | I have never had a problem like that... Usually linux installs fairly easily
|
| 08:31:34 PM | GoodGuy98 | at least the mouse and k/b work
|
| 08:32:00 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | I actually found point linux easier to install and use than Ubuntu... what does that say ????
|
| 08:32:12 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | isnt Ubuntu supposed to be like one of the easiest?
|
| 08:32:17 PM | GoodGuy98 | I tried Point Linux also
|
| 08:32:22 PM | GoodGuy98 | same issue iirc
|
| 08:32:24 PM | Sparklyballs | yeah, i've installed things where the mouse etc work during the install and then don't when you get to the desktop etc.
|
| 08:33:01 PM | GoodGuy98 | Only distro that showed a mouse cursor at all was Anti-X MX-14
|
| 08:33:16 PM | SoundPro69 | Good night guys!
|
| 08:33:19 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | yeah, I have had that also Sparklyballs not usually the other way around
|
| 08:33:21 PM | GoodGuy98 | It was a bit flaky after being installed
|
| 08:33:22 PM | RobbieF | night!!
|
| 08:33:29 PM | GoodGuy98 | Night RobbieF

|
| 08:37:25 PM | lyndon_ | Cat5 on Saturday? I'm all in!
|
| 08:37:27 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | could it be Ubuntu wants to use a USB mouse or a serial mouse and the adapter shows it as something slightly different?
|
| 08:37:39 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | what time will it be?
|
| 08:37:49 PM | GoodGuy98 | Not sure
|
| 08:38:06 PM | GoodGuy98 | I should run a dmesg and see what it says
