07:15 <midfavila> grats on the new toys sad_plan!!!

16:49 <sad_plan> kris_: a 4060 low profile. I already had one, but I messed it up..

16:49 <sad_plan> thanks midfavila

16:49 <sad_plan> so Now I can finally play some games again

18:43 <riteo> guess what kissers

18:43 <riteo> im back

18:43 <riteo> for a few days :P

18:43 <riteo> busy month

18:43 <riteo> Did I hear about terraria?

18:47 <midfavila> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYUI4hu950w

18:47 <midfavila> i am drafting all of you

18:47 <midfavila> riteo ur on the front lines now

19:30 <ilt> riteo: you did

19:31 <ilt> sad_plan: why not intel(the new B ones) or amd?

20:16 <kakker> Hey, I'm trying to test out Kiss in qemu. And maybe this is just a VM thing, but for some reason I can't get it to find boot. I got the UUID with blkid to make fstab, I think qemu should be bios (although my machine is UEFI).

20:17 <kakker> Because this is just a simple test, I just have one partition. I think kernel found the amd-ucode properly. Installed baseinit, and I understand that should be enough for simple boot. Wondering what could be the problem.

20:20 <kakker> Grub targets bios naturally as I'm assuming qemu uses it.

20:24 <kakker> I understood that I don't need initramfs, because I'm not doing anything fancy, but I'm probably missing something huge that should compensate for that.

20:54 <ilt> you'll probably need to use PARTUUID rather than UUID

21:35 <midfavila> bro holy shit

21:36 <midfavila> america cant stop taking Ls over the past few weeks

21:36 <midfavila> "linux is malware"

21:36 <midfavila> you WILL use windows

21:36 <midfavila> you WILL own an android or iphone

21:36 <midfavila> you WILL work a gig job

21:37 <midfavila> you WILL pay 4000$ for a bandaid and an ibuprofen

21:37 <midfavila> you WILL NOT own anything, you WILL NOT receive benefits you paid into, you WILL NOT retire, you WILL NOT be able to afford education

22:39 <kakker> I managed to get to grub by doing grub-install outside of chroot, but it goes "no display" (paraphrase) when I hit enter. Testing all the possible permutations of UUID/PARTUUID tinyramfs/noramfs, but no luck.

22:41 <kakker> Messing around with VMs is low risk and all but the uncertainty about the firmware is a darned thing.

22:44 <kakker> I suppose I'll try again later. Or I have to practice more on gentoo.

22:46 <midfavila> tbh i just use device node names

22:46 <midfavila> nine times out of ten it works fine

22:46 <midfavila> you can bundle firmware into the kernel too. unless it's weird hardware most stuff just runs without external files.

22:46 <midfavila> gpu is the big one.

22:48 <kakker> You just insert a live image to jigger the device names when it doesn't work?

22:50 <midfavila> on my workstation i actually have a rescue image in the highly unusual event i have that issue

22:50 <midfavila> only time it's been a thing on x86 for me is when i use a dedicated disk controller. sometimes disks will spin up in different orders so ye then i use either filesystem labels or uuids

23:09 <kakker> Thanks for the suggestions anyway, have to head off.

23:21 <kris_> i pretty much only use uuids, i dont see much value in using other things
