@Ariane You might be able to find the manual online.

Good point

That's what research seemed to indicate

Ugh, the panel connector text is anything but clear

panel connector? the light cble?

The power button, reset, etc stuff. But I finally figured it out. I think.

What's an 1394 connector? My front panel USB add-on has a lot of USB connectors and one1394

firewire DV is 90% obsolete now, not comming on modern boards.

course if you stick a 1394 on a USB connector (or is it the reverse) it is said to be so incompatable (where the power goes) as to severly damage the motherboard. about that manuel :-)

hahahaha

sounds fun

retweet for me?

1394 is FireWire?

watch where you stick your connector Ariane :)

yes

I won't plug it in. I don't think there's a group of pins for it

good idea

What about HD audio and AC'97?

HD usually, which might make it more confusing in the device manager as GPUs will also be using much the same name for the audio that comes out of them too.

I plug that into... Whatever slot has the right pin setup?

uhh, you follow the manuel, or read the silkscreen on the board (which isnt easy sometimes) pretty much the only thing you can screw it up with , is to connect USB to Firewire , or bend a Pin where there is a Keyed connector. A connector that has a blocked "hole" no pin will go into. you jam it down and realise it was blocked and the pin under there bends connects to something else and the whole thing blows up in wild flames.

(well all your dreams go up in smoke anyway:-)

The guide is useless so far. Can't even tell if I installed the CPU right. The instructions are nothing but unclear drawings

everything else that does go together somewhat , can be connected all wrong, and it just wont work correct, like the leds wont light, or the reset button would be on permenent and things like that.

Im kidding :)

WHY did they only make unclear drawings to explain CPU installation? I have no way of knowing whether I did it right... If it's not installed properly, is there a chance the PC will so anything worse than just not turn on?

the CPU should have one corner thats different or not be symmertrical so that you cant put it in the wrong way

what cpu was it?

6600k

if you looked at it closely I believe one corner wasnt sharp so it would only fit one way on the socket

It fit in fine. But in the instructions there's something about putting it on a plastic thingie and the whole thing snaps onto the motherboard. I just inserted the CPU onto the cpu spot and tightened the lever on it

I'm worried about this plastic thingie

Lemme give you a picture

@Ariane you stick that on top of the cpu, then snap it into place.

Then take it off, it's just a guide tool.

Oh. Phew.

you had us hanging there for a bit Michael :)

So as long as the CPU was in the right (only possible) position it's fine?

and dont breathe into the socket, best way to screw up the whole thing is to bend the socket connections.

which bend so easily as to say they will bend if you you breathe on it.

> about that manuel

Manuel no es aquí, senõr

Actually the whole thing was flat ish. No "spikes" to insert like it was with my old AMD professor

Processor

@ThatBrazilianGuy manuel is the guy who installs processors at Best buy, but i find that he isnt to easy to read.

@Psycogeek Yeah, he's quite elusive and misterious.

@Psycogeek I bet if you were an AMD Professor you could read Manuel easily!

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere I think you can use git rebase, but if anyone else has already pulled your data, and then make subsequent commits + pushes, it will "come back".

Hahaha

oh brazilian guy no I have not shared my project yet

What. Corsair link takes to a whole USB 2 port. I only have two. Goodbye, corsair link.

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere See if it helps: sethrobertson.github.io/GitFixUm

I am a bad person and must rewrite published history

Hi root

Mind if I ask a question here? It feels a bit too stupid to post as an actual question.

You can ping me by putting an "@" in front of my name, like that: @CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

@user1337 Go on...

I could but I dont want to bother you

Nah, it's OK. If I don't want to be bothered, I either mute my PC or leave the room.

oh ok :)

@ThatBrazilianGuy @DavidPostill Is it possible to make my browser redirect me to specified addresses based on what I write?

Like... HYPOTHETICALLY

If I wanted to be redirected to youtube.com when I write "utoob" in the adress field?

Locally that is.

@user1337 Yeah, that's the purpose of the address bar ;p

okay

@user1337 Seriuosly speaking now, you need to have those addresses either on a local DNS server or on your hosts file. The latter is easier.

Ill make it so when you go on youtube it will give you a blank page or redirect you back to the search engine

Well, now I know it's possible and I've gotten several keywords. I say I'm satisfied with that.

@ThatBrazilianGuy @user1337 Just create a bookmark with a keyword (at least in firefox). That is easier than fiddling with dns or hosts

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere To be honest, I am far from advanced on git. The most I have done is reverted to an old commit, git rebase.

See this tutorial: code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/…

@DavidPostill That definitely sounds easier.

> The edit command is particularly powerful. When it reaches the specified commit, Git will pause the rebase procedure, much like when it encounters a conflict. This gives you the opportunity to alter the contents of the commit with git commit --amend or even add more commits with the standard git add/git commit commands. Any new commits you add will be part of the new branch.

@user1337

@DavidPostill Does that come in chrome?

@user1337 Let me check

No, I totally don't battle with my Chrome over my ram

So uhm. I plugged in the computer and went to power it on. It proceeded to rumble like an old lawnmower motor. What the heck?

I'd guess some part is loose. Like the fan...

Aah there was a huge cord in the fan. Phew, that scared me.

Dang. I should've suggested to update the drivers.

@user1337 There is a hack for Chrome

How to Set Keyword Bookmarks in Google Chrome

@DavidPostill Hey look, something I can reliably understand. Much appreciated.

@user1337 Your welcome!

Hm, in regards to lawnmowers; Would one such be a viable cooling system?

You know, for the amusement of building a ghetto rig

Actually, at this hour, I oughtta let my thoughts stay in my head where they belong.

Toodles folks. Have a day.

@user1337 I suppose a flymo blade could be used as fan. :)

haha the cord in the fan its scary

@Ariane You are lucky it didn't break the fan bearings.

@Ariane Or that the fan didn't break the cord.

reallly??? nahhh I put my finger on fans to stop them alll the time

I incur some skin burns but its ok

any ubuntu experts?

this is in my terminal and I cant click or type anything what do I do -.-

let's pretend that means it finished setup xD

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere Use tab or the arrow keys to select OK?

@ThatBrazilianGuy oh is that so?

for the git edit command

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere See the tutsplus tutorial I linked. Specially the second part of it.

wait how to past in ubuntu terminal :(

Windows says I don't have a driver for my network card. When I put in the DVD that came with the motherboard, the program does nothing but crash. Any suggestions?

yup uninstall windows 10 and install windows XP

err I mean windows 7

you can try program compatibility assistant

@Ariane See if you can find a driver on the manufacturer's website.

or finding the drivers on the cd, copy em to your desktop then run devmgmt.msc and update the network card driver, manually, have disk, and direct it to that folder

Or use Linux :P

Aha. I found a specific setup for drivers by searching the Fokker's. I think I fixed it.

Folders

Now to install Intel graphics drivers because the GTX 1060 of back order...

Hey @ThatBrazilianGuy I'm confused and never know what to do when it gives me that text screen

am I supposed to fill in commands into the text file?

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere What screen? What text file?

thats what happens when I do git rebase -i

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere That's explained in the tutorial I sent you.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromium.os

this is pretty cool

I think I messed up my git way too much for this to even work haha

just git stash

git reset

and git reset --hard whatevercommit then recherry pick it

@GuitarShoeDave It is! I might try it. It's almost the opposite of Remix OS: it turns your android into a PC

yeah its tite =)

idk Im trying to get back to a blank

ubuntu, git, nothing ever works perfect for me :(

Well then, this works. I never thought I'd ever use integrated Intel graphics on a desktop computer.

dont have your hpes up if you plan on stressing it out

my intel 530 graphcs failed on me

Haha I'm only using this until the GTX 1060 stops being out of stock.

I had multiple graphic intense stuff that had it always on 100% gpu usage

I wonder if it can read 1080p video.

OHEY. It works. I'm satisfied.

Can it even play... Hearthstone?

dang that gpu wasnt out when I built my system

nah it's a powerful gpu, it handled an extremely heavy workload it just doesnt know when to tell you that the workload is too large and it's killing itself

So basically... if I overstress it... what happens?

it will give up

next time you reboot your computer it wont boot

oh yeah I think it was warning me, the screen would randomly go black and I had to reboot but I just kept continuing with my activities ignoring those signs

Damn. OK I definitely won't ask it for more than basic stuff.

I'm willing to pay someone to install gitlab-ce on my server with a gui

Server is getting reinstalled, with the hard drives partitioned properly. Looks like the data backed was taken yesterday morning :)

@DavidPostill thanks for linking the battery question. I do believe I recapped yesterday.

Of course D:

@JourneymanGeek You're welcome :)

noooooooooo why is ubuntu so complicated
