8:00 AM
.NET 3.5 for a single platform would have been at least 40-50MB. There's no way the 4.5 installer includes it...
I'm beginning to think WIn8 just happens to have a partial CLR 2.0 install, and CLR 4.0 doesn't really embed 2.0? shrug
 
@JourneymanGeek should I rerun the driver check?
and should I also immediately switch to a lower res? in case running at this res is harming the monitor in any way?
 
no idea. and your monitor is likely fine, its just bad for your eyes.
 
@JourneymanGeek so what should I do to fix it? ubuntu can't do more than 1024*768 for now...
 
hm, no idea
 
@JourneymanGeek should I rerun the driver check?
sorry I went blank that time...
@JourneymanGeek is the intel HD graphics media accelerator intended to do something with the drivers?
I got it... its Intel GMA 3100 Graphics chipset
u there?
hey if I post the driver details section, would that help @JourneymanGeek?
sorry for long onebox...
@JourneymanGeek It seems you are not here for now... please ping me when you come back. I have posted some more details in screenshots for now. It might be helpful if you can check them. Thanks :)
 
8:21 AM
i am refering this list
can anyone inform me what is chipset & how it is important?
in cpu/mobo selection
 
@AwalGarg: -> i.sstatic.net/cMeSs.png?u list all modes. If its not there, I have no idea
@jackopen: chipset needs to support CPU
(and uh, guys. Do some research, seriously. We're verging on help vampirism. Or handling a room full of toddlers ;p)
 
@JourneymanGeek I clicked list modes... It doesn't have 1366*768
 
@AwalGarg: at this point? Ask on the site. ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek question ban ;p
 
meh
Not my fault ;p
 
8:26 AM
;'( T_T
@JourneymanGeek sorry. I would do some research/googling now. would tell ya if something positive comes out.
 
I'm usually fine with pointing people at the right direction. extended troubleshooting sessions are meh
Unless you have something like the SF guy who's having random systems wiped by a mysterious program
 
can you @JourneymanGeek please confirm that Intel GMA 3100 can do good with 1366*768?
 
I LOVE shit like that.
hm. I THINK I have had a system of that era do that fine
can't entirely be sure though
 
> Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (Chipset INF) (Newer Driver Available)
downloadmirror.intel.com/20775/eng/infinst_autol.exe <-- this is the download link, and it is not available now.
can you @JourneymanGeek access the above link ^ ?
> Graphics Driver
Product Detected Intel® G33/G31
Current Driver Installed 8.15.10.1930
Your driver is current.
^from the same page... which means driver is good. now what?
 
i hate all those crappy intel integrated graphics
 
8:37 AM
@JourneymanGeek shall I get an nVidia G210, would it be good enough? and would it work on my chipset? I can't find a supported chipset list.
 
Morning
 
8:57 AM
morning
well afternoon really
 
@JourneymanGeek soo. what exactly can go wrong if I don't change my hardware until I save some bucks?
and I can't get it working properly
 
9:20 AM
are you on a laptop or something
 
Bob
9:44 AM
@JourneymanGeek I just noticed that your HDA/AC'97 question has a crazy high number of views. Especially compared to the number of votes.
Must be from search engines :P
 
9:55 AM
@AwalGarg Why is that bad? the 64 bit programs/OS use more memory, but even with 2GB I would select an 64 bit OS over a 32 bit OS. (If you had 512MB than things might be different)
 
10:30 AM
 
@Bob probably, and its something I guess happens a lot
 
 
1 hour later…
11:41 AM
Alrighty! I has brand new Nexus 5 :)
 
Isn't the N5 very old now? Relatively speaking :p
 
@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Better than my POS Alcatel.
 
It was only announced in Oct 2013. :P
 
Bob
12:12 PM
@MichaelFrank I thought you wanted a OnePlus?
@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Newer than my S4!
 
12:37 PM
I was thinking the same ;p
 
Yay, down to 75F (23-24C for those in civilised countries)
 
Sounds reasonable.
 
A four degree C cool down in one day
 
And I thought only the americans use farenheit?
 
But then I could not use the 'in civilised countries' part.
 
12:39 PM
true
ooh
My classroom has 440V sockets, and big red buttons.
 
How often does one trigger that cut-off swich by accident ?
 
no idea. I'm not even sure its connected to anything
or what its for.
 
Don't tempt me.
;p
 
12:56 PM
 
1:26 PM
And... I forgot to try it on my way out
Maybe next week
 
Bob
1:49 PM
@JourneymanGeek emergency power off in case of boom
 
2:01 PM
I recently asked a question about a problem that I had, but this problem now automagically disappeared, without I have really done something. What should I do with the question now? Delete it, close it, self-answer it by saying that it disappeared without doing something or keep it as it is now?
 
Bob
@ProgramFOX What was the question?
Some are worth keeping open for an answer. Others should be closed.
 
Bob
@ProgramFOX Eh... it's pretty well-asked. Generally troubleshooting ones that "go away" should be closed, but this might actually be helpful. On the other hand, it's not really possible to answer (it'd be better off as a debugging blog post :P)
Would've been closed as too localised last year, but they got rid of that close reason :\
@ProgramFOX Incidentally, I believe networking drivers are the buggiest after graphics (@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ) :P
 
2:17 PM
@Bob: so true
 
Bob
I remember some weird combination of OpenVPN and VirtualBox and changing power state (sleep, hibernate, shut down) would cause a similar BSOD on my laptop
 
Remember the wierd one I had earlier this year?
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Which one?
 
With my network card being mis-identified, then the tool for that SPECIFIC problem not working until I got fed up and left the system unplugged overnight?

Q: P8Z77V built in ethernet fails with Code 10

Journeyman GeekI have an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard with a built in intel 82579V adaptor. For some odd reason its being detected as 82579LM. I'm running windows 8, and the system worked properly before. Its a known issue but the utility either crashes or tells me there's nothing to do. I've also tried the dos ve...

 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek O_O
 
2:20 PM
yeah
@ProgramFOX: This one is a bit tricky
Its a good question but if someone else has the same issue we may close as dupe one of em.
 
Bob
2:35 PM
That answer would've been right, uhh... 15-20 years ago.
> .dll files are placed in the windows system32/syswow64 directory when installed, and they are common files for many applications
@ProgramFOX I just noticed you linked a bug report. You can self-answer with that. In fact, there's someone on the report page asking for a kernel dump and other information - it'd be great if you could provide those.
this comment at the bottom: virtualbox.org/ticket/11730#comment:1
 
Argh. Job Title, Work Phone and Company Name is required to create an account there. And I don't have these...
 
Bob
@ProgramFOX Leave blank or fill in N/A
 
Ok, will do that.
 
3:01 PM
Comment to the bug report posted, will now post an answer.
 
Bob
@ProgramFOX Hm. Just a minidump, though :(
 
Oh
Then what's the complete dump?
 
Bob
There's three levels. Mini, kernel and complete.
Kernel should be sufficient.
 
Ok, thanks!
 
Bob
Warning, though, dumps can leak anything that's loaded in memory including passwords and other sensitive data.
Mini is generally safe. Kernel... I guess it's fairly safe. Complete? Good chance of a leak.
Also, the dmp files are probably more useful than the windbg output.
 
3:07 PM
@Bob The setting I found is already set to a Kernel dump.
And changing it into Complete seems useless now:
> The computer will now write the entire contents of the computer's RAM to a dump file if a system crash occurs.
I don't get crashes anymore, so...
Anyway, I answered my question now: superuser.com/a/788063/285825
 
 
1 hour later…
4:16 PM
@JourneymanGeek Happy birthday! :D
11
 
4:46 PM
@JourneymanGeek has a birthday on SysAdmin Day?
 
5:28 PM
is there any LED/indication displayed on hardware for mobo & CPU if it is ok or not?
 
How does it know until it's started up?
 
i mean if only PSU is connected
@CanadianLuke
 
Some systems will have a light to show that power is available to it, but there's not way to verify by an indicator before the system is turned on that the hardware is A-OK
 
power available light is always there
in most of hardwares
isnt there any test circuit kind of arrangement without turning it on?
for mobo
 
5:49 PM
Happy b'day @JourneymanGeek
Journey has completed one more year!!!
 
6:11 PM
@jackopen No, there would be too much to test. That's why they have a POST system built in (Power On Self Test) before starting the OS, but that is only a quick check.
As well, every motherboard and CPU is different, so it'd be near impossible to tell if a single trace was destroyed or damaged, and have that same rule apply to every possible configuration
 
6:45 PM
!! s/one more year/seven more years/
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy Journey has completed seven more years!!! (source)
 
 
2 hours later…
8:21 PM
Hello, I am receiving the following error when trying to use mono:
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Could not open display (X-Server required. Check you DISPLAY environment variable)
I tried setting the $DISPLAY=:0.0 but that did not fix it.
 
8:38 PM
eye-fi SD cards can make camera with wi-fi facilty; do you know other such amazing hardware products?
 
@jackopen A hammer. Can open any computer I use it on.
 
9:05 PM
hi @CanadianLuke
i now have a spare mobo+cpu
can you help me to assemble a PC now?
 
Is there anyway I can stream music from an android phone to a Mac over wifi?
Stream as in live audio, so whatever audio is playing on Android goes to the Mac.
The PC I have isn't bluetooth supported :D
 
@jackopen I know it's going to sound rude, please don't take it that way... Read the motherboard manual.
It's going to say how to put it in the case, where to screw it down, how to put in the CPU, memory, any cables or add in cards, better than me guessing
 
 
1 hour later…
10:37 PM
anybody here?
 
Got the OS X Yosemite beta... wonder how this will be
 
10:55 PM
So, I deleted som MS Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
like 4-5 months ago
now, from time to time they are automatically installed in Windows
What do I need them for?
and what are they?

also, small fishy!
 
11:54 PM
@JourneymanGeek I have that mobo exactly :D
 
@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ: yeah, you have realtek for networking though, right?
