luke-jrfreemangordon: I mean something that isn't exploitable05:46
brolin_empeyCatButts: I have not seen the news story that was being discussed but what is the joke of suggesting to get a Palm TX?  If I recall correctly, the Palm TX lacks cellular connectivity and is not even intended to be used as a VoIP telephone.06:08

brolin_empeyI also have not had a hardware failure with the Dell products I have had (OptiPlex 960 minitower; Vostro V13 notebook; Latitude X1 notebook; P1130 21-inch Trinitron video monitor).  When I bought the P1130 used, it had a problem caused by the the value of a parameter in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM?) being out of range and not being reset when telling the video monitor to restore the factory default configuration.  I found instructions to manually correct06:22
brolin_empey the value of the parameter that went out of range.  These instructions worked for me.  This is a Trinitron problem, though, not a Dell problem.  Trinitron is a Sony product, not a Dell product.06:22
brolin_empeyWell, I think the power indicator light stopped working or became intermittent on the power supply/AC adapter for the Vostro V13 but it did not matter because the power supply still worked.06:24

brolin_empeyCatButts: OK.  I used to use Palm OS but the newest Palm OS computer I had was the Palm Z22.  I should have used Windows Mobile (up to version 6.5) instead of Palm OS.15:10
brolin_empeyPalm OS originally used the AMX RTOS for m68k from KADAK in my home city, Vancouver, Canada.15:22

CatButtsI used winmo 6.5 once17:05
CatButtsfrom what I read, it's hit and miss, depending on the phone17:05
CatButtsMotorola Q9H was a most definite miss17:05

* timeless sighs22:38
* timeless looks for a grub/systemd expert22:39
KotCzarnyremove that parasite22:39
KotCzarny:)22:39
*** Kabouik_ has quit IRC22:39
timelessi have a stupid computer that can't load a certain file system, so systemd prompts me for a root password22:39
timelessi don't have ssh because it isn't ready yet (Grr)22:39
timelessand i don't think anyone knows the root password22:40
* timeless is trying to find the right keystroke to talk to bios/boot sequence22:40
warfaretimeless: IIRC it's "e" on the selected entry to edit it.22:41
timelessyes, i can edit, but i don't know what to add :(22:41
timelessyou're talking about grub, i can talk to grub and edit22:42
warfareinit=/bin/bash ; then mount -o remount,rw / to edit things22:42
timelessbut... what do i ask grub to tell what?22:42
timelessoh22:42
timelesssold. thanks22:42
timelessgrr, it's still pestering me22:45
timelessturns out this system is uefi, so the solution was "system setup", change boot sequence22:47
warfareoO22:48
KotCzarnyyaay for new technology, simplifying lives..22:48
warfareDon't get me started about UEFI - Intel is selling its recent Cherrytrail Atoms with a 32bit EFI.22:48
timelessi had a netbook that was 32bit efi22:49
timelesswhich meant i couldn't run w10x64 which means i couldn't use WSL22:49
*** florian_kc is now known as florian22:55
* timeless hates md0/pv/lvm22:56
*** phlixi has quit IRC23:08
timelesswarfare: thanks for the suggestion. in the end efi booting to the stick and then vgchange + mounting the root file system and editing fstab to comment out the missing volume got me where i needed to go23:09
* timeless hates that systemd thinks it's a good idea to fail the boot sequence at missing disks23:09
timelessthat was *never* the way linux/unix worked23:09
KotCzarnythat's why it's a parasite23:09
timelessit always hobbled forward to "sshd" and let people fix things remotely23:09
