[00:14:37] <Bytram> Argh!
[00:24:09] <chromas> Oh it's the onest today
[00:24:20] <chromas> Or the 32nd I guess
[00:24:44] <Bytram> I somehow broke Firefox. Now each time I start it (Ubuntu; click on the entry on the screen), it starts to start up and in a second or two, crashes the whole system... does anyone have some suggestions on how to start Firefox without any previously running applications?
[00:25:46] <Bytram> I *did* notice the 1st :)
[00:28:59] <chromas> There's an option to start an empty session but I don't remember what it was
[00:29:23] <chromas> If you run it from a terminal you may also her get some debug output
[00:30:51] <Bytram> like: firefox --help
[00:30:57] <Bytram> ???
[00:31:13] <chromas> That should be a good start
[00:32:04] <Bytram> well, let's see if it crashes again!
[00:34:35] <chromas> Hm I don't see a new session option anywhere but you can start a whole new profile
[00:36:27] <Bytram> OK, that worked. Got ~60 lines of output. Time for some reading. OH! chromas: thanks..... gonna give it a looksee
[00:38:10] <Bytram> Mozilla Firefox 111.0.1
[00:40:52] <Bytram> this looks helpful: --new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.
[00:44:46] <Bytram> *that* crashed my system to reboot screen.
[00:45:52] <chromas> Sounds like a driver issue or something
[00:51:42] <Bytram> Maybe. I just finishes downloading update system code; also had been trying to run with 5-6 windows loaded... one of which failed to launch a possibly too-large window.
[00:51:56] <Bytram> btb
[00:52:03] <Bytram> brb!
[01:11:58] <Bytram> Hmm, how about:
[01:12:17] <Bytram> --no-remote Do not accept or send remote commands; implies
[01:12:17] <Bytram> --new-instance.
[01:15:39] <Bytram> YAC (Yet Another Crash)
[01:19:21] <Bytram> ~$ firefox --full-version
[01:19:22] <Bytram> Mozilla Firefox 111.0.1 20230321162322 20230321162322
[01:45:39] <Bytram> Yet again with a crash :(
[01:47:34] <Bytram> Maybe I will have more luck tomorrow? Good day everyone.

[08:21:53] <Ingar> the onest has gone, I can safely emerge from hiding
[08:23:41] <chromas> March 32nd is over?
[08:31:21] <Ingar> zo 02 apr 2023 10:31:15 CEST
[08:32:01] <janrinok> ... I hope so
[08:32:30] <Ingar> it's Palm Sunday, where Jesus drives a donkey into Jerusalem
[08:32:57] <janrinok> on ecofuel I hope...
[08:34:06] <Ingar> C2H6O
[08:34:53] <janrinok> :)
[08:35:07] <Ingar> Hosanna in excelsis
[08:36:13] <janrinok> I've been trying to install a GPU for 3 days now - everytime I get over one hurdle, another appears in its place
[08:36:15] <chromas> in Matthew he rides two at once. A true double-team
[08:36:38] <Ingar> janrinok: what GPU ?
[08:37:53] <janrinok> RX6600. Would not even be recognised by Ubuntu. Finally changed to Mint and that worked like a charm. But now the stable diffusion software cannot see the graphics card, but everything else can.
[08:38:17] <Ingar> doesn't that want mroc?
[08:38:24] <janrinok> ?
[08:38:39] <Ingar> doesn't stable diffusion on Radeeon needs mroc?
[08:38:46] <Ingar> *Radeon
[08:39:12] <Ingar> and *ROCm
[08:39:22] <Ingar> (sorry, still at the coffee)
[08:39:36] <janrinok> I am using the Easy Diffusion installer and it seems to have installed everything that it wanted to. Where do I find mroc and ROCm?
[08:39:54] <Ingar> *ROCm, afaik it's a kernel thing
[08:40:07] <Ingar> I looked into stable diffusion on my RX6900 and I was like, fuck that
[08:40:13] <chromas> check your package manager
[08:40:19] <janrinok> everything works if I just use the CPU for rendering but it is S L O W.
[08:41:27] <chromas> apt-cache search rocm
[08:41:51] <chromas> also you'll need a related something called hip for gpu rendering in blender
[08:42:13] <janrinok> I don't use blender
[08:42:24] <chromas> you'll still need the rocm probably
[08:42:47] <chromas> I think that's amd's equivalent to cuda
[08:42:47] <janrinok> yep - I'm just running an update and I will go looking for rocm once it finishes
[08:42:50] <Ingar> hip "Heterogeneous Interface for Portability ROCm"
[08:43:50] <Ingar> ROCm is AMD's CUDA indeed
[08:44:13] <chromas> or is it their optix? D:
[08:44:14] <chromas> :D
[08:44:30] <Ingar> I have my own update woes atm :p
[08:44:38] <janrinok> with what?
[08:44:40] <Ingar> considering wether or not to update my astrobox
[08:44:44] <janrinok> ah...
[08:44:56] <janrinok> is that something expensive?
[08:45:06] <Ingar> no, a raspberry pi with arch linux
[08:45:17] <chromas> the internet says it's National Ferret Day
[08:45:25] <Ingar> but there should be clear sky tonight
[08:45:32] <janrinok> I salute our national Ferret
[08:45:36] <Ingar> and updating it likes to break it :D
[08:45:49] <chromas> yeah wait 'til clouds
[08:46:12] <janrinok> I have a similar problem with my ADSB software. It has to be rebuilt each time I update a kernel.
[08:46:31] <janrinok> ... and a few libraries
[08:46:59] <chromas> that's why jesus invented static linking
[08:47:23] <Ingar> that's not always a solution
[08:47:46] <chromas> yeah when lib developers are lazy and then people have to invent containerization to cover up their mess
[08:47:47] <janrinok> unfortunately, it has some blobs which have to be downloaded
[08:48:22] <Ingar> I'm in a "upstream broke API and dependencies don't work" situation
[08:48:34] <Ingar> but it looks like most got fixed by now
[08:48:38] <janrinok> the Raspi version is OK, but the bigger and 'better' version is a PITA
[08:48:40] <Ingar> need to rebuild some packages
[08:50:09] <Ingar> janrinok: are you running a radar?
[08:52:31] <janrinok> I've got 2 ADSB receivers local, and one remote which is in a farmers field about 1.5 Km away.
[08:55:20] <Ingar> maybe I should implement one to detect airplanes going to my frame
[08:57:46] <janrinok> They give you positions but for full understanding you need to display them on a map in real-time. There are several available on the web, and I also wrote my own to do exactly what I wanted.
[08:58:36] <janrinok> I am just stress testing my GPU - it is working fine!
[08:59:01] <Ingar> http://ingar.intranifty.net
[08:59:31] <chromas> throw some deeplearn at the streaks
[08:59:35] <Ingar> you can actually see the engine
[09:55:00] <janrinok> I've installed the rocm libs but it hasn't made any difference. I am looking if there is a special kernel that I have to use but I've not found one yet.
[10:09:56] <janrinok> the problem is not the graphics card - that is running fine. It seems to be a bug with the stable diffusion software or its interface
[10:15:37] <chromas> do you need to pass in a flag to tell it to use the lib?
[10:40:02] <janrinok> not that I can find - there might be but I cannot find anything referring to it on the web
