@NathanOsman - BTW, I recommend you have a look at Open Hardware Monitor. Its on github

@Videonauth - How come your rep curve has dropped? :(

@TheXed Sure, just embed the JPG.

If you want an actual vector outline from the JPEG, then you'll have to do that yourself.

so @NathanOsman, how do we make linux a true gaming platform?

if we all boycott non-linux games, nobody would care because it's so small

Nathan Osman

4:09 AM

Get everyone to stop using DirectX and move to Vulcan, for one.

Anything that runs on Vulcan is (usually) trivial to port to Linux.

Ironically, Wine may be hurting gaming on Linux since it gives companies an excuse to avoid Linux.

"Oh, our app sort-of runs on Wine, so no need to invest time in a Linux version."

@NathanOsman we also need to get people to stop using Java and Flash...

Kaz Wolfe

but they're not gonna stop

because the devs already know it and there's no market demand

we'd have to convince almost the entire PC industry to stop buying non-linux games, and who would do that just for the sake of an OS they don't use?

Anwar Shah

I want to know the benefits of this systemd thing

Kaz Wolfe

extremely light, so no overhead for processes like Windows has. Completely open, so it won't have the mystery of OSX

Fully customizable unlike XB/PS

@AnwarShah It's basically init/upstart. I personally like systemd because of everything it can do, but some people dislike the fact that it's so intrusive and a large part of the boot process

Anwar Shah

what was the problem with upstard?

Kaz Wolfe

functionally they're practically identical. But, systemd gets far more control than upstart. I think it starts earlier and hands off the second login is ready

dont quote me tho

Anwar Shah

Thank you.

There is a saying, Don't fix when it's not broken

Kaz Wolfe

5:10 AM

eh, that's debatable

Anwar Shah

I don't know why they're constantly changing this and that!

Kaz Wolfe

if we didn't fix unbroken things, we'd be still in VAX

like i said, I personally like systemd (even though it can be annoying), but i'm not everyone

Anwar Shah

I used to use sudo service lightdm restart in crash situation

and It would restart the whole login session

very nice

Kaz Wolfe

it still does..?

Anwar Shah

Now, I can't.

Kaz Wolfe

5:13 AM

that's... odd. Service handling is roughly the same. If you kill LightDM, it will kill X and the entire graphical stack

Anwar Shah

I don't know which user is used to start lightdm or display manger

Kaz Wolfe

the lightdm user, iirc

lightdm or root

Anwar Shah

can you check please? switch to vt1 and use the command sudo service lightdm restart

Kaz Wolfe

on crapdos

Anwar Shah

I earlier ubuntus, it shuts down all processes, forces the user out from graphical session

Kaz Wolfe

5:17 AM

i seem to remember it still did that

Anwar Shah

I tested multiple times in 16.04. Nothing happens :(

Kaz Wolfe

i'll check tomorrow when i get to my work pc

that doesn't seem right

Anwar Shah

OK. don't forget to ping to let me know the result

Kaz Wolfe

are you actually using lightdm?

Anwar Shah

It's frustrating. That was really a cool workaround. Now, I must restart in a crash

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

5:19 AM

@NathanOsman DirectX is horrible

Nathan Osman

How do you know?

Nah, I'm using now sddm

Nathan Osman

5:21 AM

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD I doubt DirectX is causing the crashes.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

it is

Kaz Wolfe

directx can't crash apps directly

it's like saying "java crashes my app"

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

......

Kaz Wolfe

it would be your graphics driver

or a poor DX implementation

or your d3dx dll/whatever the hell it is is bad

but directx itself can't crash anything

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

k

it says directx error and then stops working

Kaz Wolfe

5:26 AM

try reinstalling directx and your graphics drivers

a directx call failed, likely a problem talking to your card

It is used widely in Unix-like and many other operating systems and file formats. Because it does not handle leap seconds, it is neither a linear representation of time nor a true representation of UTC.
