 sadoon_albader | no problem! | 08:37:49 |
| sadoon_albader | If you're looking for a board I highly recommend the Asrock X99 WS if you only want 1 cpu, it has socketed bios and I successfully ran me_cleaner on it with no problem, and it has a backup bios just in case | 08:38:56 |
| sadoon_albader | Supports xeons and rdimms | 08:39:08 |
 ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | that's pretty nice. how much do they cost normally? | 08:41:03 |
| sadoon_albader | I bought it new back in 2016 so I got it for 300$ I believe | 08:41:37 |
| sadoon_albader | I can't find any on ebay with good prices | 08:42:05 |
| sadoon_albader | But the extreme4 and extreme6 are cheaper | 08:42:15 |
| sadoon_albader | I believe they also have dual socketed bios | 08:42:26 |
| ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | i will keep that model in mind. im not sure of i would buy intel again, but if they are so cheap i might consider. | 08:44:27 |
| ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | i say that, because i keep finding strange things about my ivy bridge. it always had some horrible latency i could never solve. | 08:45:45 |
| sadoon_albader | weird | 08:46:03 |
| sadoon_albader | Never had an issue with ivy bridge | 08:46:11 |
| sadoon_albader | But these haswell xeons are solid, been using them for 5 years now | 08:46:41 |
| sadoon_albader | Used to have a 1650v3 which is an overclockable 6 core | 08:46:53 |
| ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | it turns out, the combination of setting the kernel clock to tsc + turning off smt (turning off hyperthread) solved the issue. it might be specific to my notebook, i don't really know. not only latency was affected, but throughput and temperatures too. | 08:49:28 |
 eimiar | anybody knows how to run weston as a non-root user with systemd? | 08:49:50 |
| eimiar | * anybody knows how to run weston as a non-root user with systemd? | 08:50:09 |
| eimiar | the way i tried gives me this log: https://pastebin.com/d2A7Dmuw (lines 116-123) | 08:51:19 |
| eimiar | and this is the service i try to run: https://pastebin.com/bhynBHz7 | 08:51:41 |
| eimiar | permissions are okay, i already checked | 08:52:12 |
| sadoon_albader | hansbauer that's a weird issue, but I've known that laptops always have firmware issues since forever. | 08:52:33 |

hansbauer that's a weird issue, but I've known that laptops always have firmware issues since forever. yep, some are forever suffering some wierd issues. that might be just another case of the bios being broken somewhere. | 08:57:08 |
| sadoon_albader | I had a 1st gen ryzen laptop, Envy x360 15 inch with R5 2500U, that thing was notorious for crashes in linux | 08:58:45 |
| sadoon_albader | Its younger sibling the 13" had the same cpu but without any issues | 08:59:11 |
| ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | lol i think the worst case i had was my macbook a1181. the battery system is some strange proprietary apple thing and not really compatible with the normal linux drivers. it always triggers a interrupt storm if your cable was plugged and the got unplugged. | 09:04:00 |
| sadoon_albader | shit | 09:04:21 |
| ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | i had to work around that by using udev. made it so that if it was detected it switched from ac to cable, the battery module would be removed and the loaded again. problem solved, but that's not really graceful. | 09:06:33 |

| sadoon_albader | typical apple engineering | 09:10:07 |
| ｈａｎｓｂａｕｅｒ | lol | 09:11:13 |
