• [12:05] Bridie Linden: sits in the middle
• [12:05] Harleen Gretzky: Hi Bridie
• [12:06] Nya Linden: sorry Cummere.. once I sit, there's no getting me back up again. :)
• [12:06] Cummere Mayo: smiles to bridie and opens up the viewer
• [12:07] Aric Linden: shall we start?
• [12:07] Bridie Linden: yezzir

• [12:08] Alexa Linden: VWR-5949[c
• [12:08] Aric Linden: sorry scroled ahead
• [12:08] Cummere Mayo: seen that one. part of why i had downgraded to 19.0 till 20.15 became mainline
• [12:09] Squirrel Wood: Win/XP SP2 - suggest to install sp3
• [12:10] Squirrel Wood: and to update graphics drivers.
• [12:10] Squirrel Wood: and see if it still happens.
• [12:10] Alexa Linden: I can ask both
• [12:10] Cummere Mayo: ild agree with the divers but i was still getting out of mem issues with them
• [12:11] Squirrel Wood: then downgrade the drivers. one version number.
• [12:11] Squirrel Wood: may help
• [12:11] Squirrel Wood: also check how many tasks run in the background
• [12:11] Cummere Mayo: sp2 doenst neccisarily mean anything. if you take all the reccamnded updates yours will still show sp2 even though you have all the same patches as 3
• [12:12] Joeseph Albanese: I adjusted virtual mem and it went away :-D
• [12:12] Aric Linden: still reading the thread
• [12:12] Squirrel Wood: virtual mem... yes. I have seen SL eat up the swap file here... 25% of a 4GB swapfile used by SL
• [12:13] Squirrel Wood: atm 340 inmem, 308 in swap
• [12:13] Aric Linden: how did you do the adjustment?
• [12:14] Joeseph Albanese: Ctrl panel, system
• [12:14] Aric Linden: what did you chance?
• [12:14] Aric Linden: change?

• [12:14] Joeseph Albanese: Let Win
• [12:15] Aric Linden: can you update the issue with that info and suggest it to others?
• [12:15] Joeseph Albanese: 10L says most people used a computer checkup utility that changed it to fixed.
• [12:15] Alexa Linden: shall I mark this with a last triaged date>
• [12:15] Alexa Linden:  ?
• [12:16] Squirrel Wood: fixed size doesn't fragment but needs to be big enough
• [12:16] Squirrel Wood: and that's the key benefit

• [12:29] Alexa Linden: ok
• [12:29] Alexa Linden: VWR-8294[c
• [12:29] Bridie Linden: $100 on ebay...
• [12:29] Aric Linden: they're just patches to essentially create compatibility with that hardware, cummere
• [12:30] Aric Linden: nods
• [12:30] Aric Linden: x86 is, um, pretty old
• [12:30] Viridian Exonar: Yes.. yes it is
• [12:30] Gellan Glenelg: wordpad works fine for looking at these :)
• [12:30] Aric Linden: alexa, let's just take the rest in and assign to viewer
• [12:30] Alexa Linden: gotcha :)
• [12:31] Aric Linden: please mark all of them as normal priority
• [12:31] Bridie Linden: agrees
• [12:31] Alexa Linden: so that takes us down to VWR-8357[c
• [12:31] Alexa Linden: ok - I'll adjust priority on all of them
• [12:31] Aric Linden: I don't want to figure out the priority for these in reality
• [12:31] Viridian Exonar: yay for 64 characters? *blinks*
• [12:31] Aric Linden: there must be all of 2000 people still using x86 machines and 12 of them are in second life
• [12:32] Aric Linden: grins goofily
• [12:32] Cummere Mayo: lol aric
• [12:32] Joeseph Albanese: is gonna pull out the Commodore 64
• [12:32] Viridian Exonar: Umm.. wouldn't the processors... nevermind.. wow..
• [12:32] Cummere Mayo: at least i dont know of anyone trying to run on a modified commodor 64 yet
• [12:33] Aric Linden: Viridian, depends on if they're running linux or solaris
• [12:33] Thickbrick Sleaford: ahm, the patches don't seem to be hardware specific, rather solaris specific, from a quick glance
• [12:33] Aric Linden: anyway, let's take signpost marv's patch please
• [12:33] Cummere Mayo: still has her commodor soemwhere
• [12:33] Alexa Linden: ok
• [12:33] Alexa Linden: Get out your swim rings...... it's time for the misc. pool
• [12:34] Alexa Linden: VWR-8240[c
• [12:34] Bridie Linden: Commodore 64 for $30 on ebay!
• [12:34] Alexa Linden: they pay you bridie?
• [12:34] Alexa Linden: :P
• [12:34] Alexa Linden: take my comm 64 away please!
• [12:35] Bridie Linden: may still have hers...
• [12:35] Aric Linden: nya
• [12:35] Nya Linden: yes?
• [12:35] Aric Linden: we need to chat today re: GIAB
• [12:35] Nya Linden: kk.
• [12:35] Aric Linden: <insert huge sigh here>
• [12:36] Nya Linden: 4:30?
• [12:36] Aric Linden: possibly nya
• [12:36] Cummere Mayo: well despite how rude the rporter comes across i say import it
• [12:37] Aric Linden: agrees with cummere
• [12:37] Alexa Linden: viewer?
• [12:38] Viridian Exonar: relunctantly import it.. heh
• [12:38] Gellan Glenelg: hmm. it's 64 bit only - is that supported?
• [12:38] Bridie Linden: "it appears the issue is confined to the 64-bit version of the linux viewer. "
• [12:38] Cummere Mayo: I did comment that they should show some patience
• [12:39] Alexa Linden: so do I still want to import and if so, am I assigning to Viewer?
• [12:39] Nya Linden: 64-bit isn't supported yet..
• [12:39] Cummere Mayo: *shrugs* i dotn think 64 bit was supported though...
• [12:39] Viridian Exonar: Didn't I read that 64-bit was not fully supported yet somewhere?
• [12:39] Alexa Linden: wow
• [12:39] Alexa Linden: lol
• [12:39] Cummere Mayo: we could still import asign LOW priority
• [12:40] Cummere Mayo: cuase im sure eventually 64 will be supported sepcially since 128 is being developed
• [12:40] Aimee Trescothick: gets the feeling people might think 64-bit isn't supported yet for some reason
• [12:40] Thickbrick Sleaford: it's not a 64 bit viewer
• [12:40] Aric Linden: 64 bit is NOT supported yet
• [12:40] Aimee Trescothick: :D
• [12:40] Aric Linden: it's not supported because there's not yet a 64 bit havok build
• [12:41] Aric Linden: but there's been some talk of it
• [12:41] Aric Linden: so i think it might be on the way
• [12:41] Thickbrick Sleaford: am I missing something? the bug is about the regular viewer running on a 64 bit Fedora, with compatability libs
• [12:42] Cummere Mayo: looks to aric. do we say 64 bit isnt supported or do we import at lowest priority till such a time havak releases 64 bit version?
• [12:42] Aric Linden: put it on the queue for support
• [12:42] Aric Linden: every little bit helps move the needle toward forcing support
• [12:43] Alexa Linden: ok
• [12:43] Alexa Linden: SVC-1546[c
• [12:43] Gellan Glenelg: did you skip one?
• [12:43] Alexa Linden: did I?
• [12:43] Alexa Linden: one sec
• [12:44] Alexa Linden: sorry, I did
• [12:44] Alexa Linden: VWR-8343[c
• [12:44] Squirrel Wood: update graphics drivers... #1 tip :p
• [12:44] Gellan Glenelg: another dupe of this, this morning - giot him to add crash report to this one
• [12:45] Bridie Linden: Should this be a dupe of VWR-6733?
• [12:45] Harleen Gretzky: These are teh latest
• [12:45] Squirrel Wood: then downgrade
• [12:45] Squirrel Wood: Nvidia recently released new drivers - they may cause unforeseen problems
• [12:46] Harleen Gretzky: Seems so, lol
• [12:46] Cummere Mayo: I really wish people would try checking thier drivers before filling out jiras. and try seeing if their issue is already existant
• [12:46] Alexa Linden: ok - so making as a dup?
• [12:46] Alexa Linden: of 6733?
• [12:46] VanceC Spyker: (is this a sl meeting on drivers or something? i just found this place from sandbox)
• [12:46] Squirrel Wood: [1] ^^
• [12:46] Gellan Glenelg: it's a bug triage - not just drivers
• [12:47] VanceC Spyker: oo ok
• [12:47] Alexa Linden: so I'm marking the last one as a dup
• [12:48] Alexa Linden: next up is
• [12:48] Alexa Linden: SVC-1546[c
• [12:48] Cummere Mayo: nods. want me to suggest updgrading then retrograding drivers?
• [12:48] Lovecraft Docherty: perhaps it is vista not the drivers
• [12:48] Aimee Trescothick: (Waits for mass stand up and sit down as people try it :P)
• [12:49] Gellan Glenelg: that would mean installing vista - I don't want to do that, thanks all the same ;P
• [12:49] Aric Linden: giggles
• [12:49] Aric Linden: I'm using a loaner vista box today
• [12:49] Aric Linden: it's teh suk
• [12:50] Aric Linden: i'd rather go back to sun os
• [12:50] Alexa Linden: hmmm
• [12:51] Aric Linden: let's import
• [12:51] Aric Linden: give to viewer
• [12:51] Alexa Linden: ok
• [12:51] Aric Linden: they're going to love us today
• [12:51] Viridian Exonar: Umm.. hmm.. a different sit and stand.. wouldn't that be to the perference of the user? Then also wouldn't it have to depend on the AV itself? There's alot of variables..
• [12:51] Alexa Linden: hahahaha
• [12:51] Alexa Linden: I'd like to see the pose he's talking about
• [12:51] VanceC Spyker: thats why theres aos if u dont like it viridian
• [12:51] Aric Linden: actually, alexa, can you get the poseball?
• [12:52] Alexa Linden: ok
• [12:52] Aric Linden: before import
• [12:52] Aric Linden: and it'll end up going to simulator
• [12:52] Aric Linden: yea for a change of pace
• [12:52] Gellan Glenelg: Gypsy Paz not online atm
• [12:52] Alexa Linden: I'll post a message for him to drop said ladder on me
