**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 11 03:00:03 2018 Jun 11 06:23:39 Do non-AMD chipsets still exist for current AMD x86 platforms? Or is it like Intel x86 platforms, where there are no longer any non-Intel chipsets: apparently the Pentium 4 era was the last era with non-Intel chipsets. Jun 11 06:42:06 I see only Intel and AMD chipsets listed on https://www.msi.com/Motherboards/ . Apparently the Asus Web site does not allow filtering by chipset. Jun 11 06:44:55 No, apparently the Asus Web site does allow filtering by chipset but it also lists only Intel and AMD chipsets. Jun 11 06:51:47 Same for https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard . Jun 11 07:35:27 I suspect "chipset" practically means "class of CPUs" nowadays. Jun 11 07:36:19 (I don't know anything about whether AMD requires their own hardware on motherboards, but I imagine even if they didn't, people would still use the term "chipset" to denote the set of CPUs that will work on the board) Jun 11 07:37:56 Looking at the dates on the Wikipedia page for "List of AMD chipsets", I suspect they don't. Jun 11 07:38:55 Maxdamantus: "chipset" actually refers to the specialized/helper chips on the motherboard, not the set of working CPUs Jun 11 07:40:11 (and chip vendors eventually started merging their set of chips in a single helper chip) Jun 11 07:44:08 bencoh: yes, I know. Jun 11 07:44:28 there are some chinese companies taking amd zen and producing their 'own' CPUs with it Jun 11 07:44:35 bencoh: but I imagine even if they didn't have them (which seems to be the case for AMD), people would still use the term "chipset". Jun 11 07:44:44 ah Jun 11 07:45:52 “This is an overview of chipsets sold under the brand AMD, manufactured before May 2004 by the company itself, before the adoption of open platform approach” Jun 11 07:46:29 So I guess since the "open platform approach", it's just been up to motherboard producers to implement whatever's necessary. Jun 11 07:46:43 (again, just a guess, don't know anything about AMD from actual experience) Jun 11 08:26:09 Last non-AMD chipset I can remember would be AM2+ era (Athlon64), not long after ATI became part of AMD. I recall after that the only boards non-AMD chipset being GeForce. So imagine AM3 boards would be the last non-AMD chipset, I only recall 900 Series chipset from there. Jun 11 10:23:00 Does anyone know of a mirror of the Nokia QT repository that used to be at https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo ? I dont mean https://github.com/community-ssu/qt-x11-maemo which is the Community SSU repository, I mean the nokia repository as it was at the time Nokia stopped making commits to it. Jun 11 10:26:21 Based on https://wiki.maemo.org/Qt_Maemo_Git_Process , maybe this one? https://gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 10:27:05 The top of the log looks like nokia. Jun 11 10:29:36 (hint: add ".git" to the end of the URL to get a remote that you can actually clone through `git`) Jun 11 10:31:05 Its not cloning Jun 11 10:31:12 Now it is :) Jun 11 10:31:13 It seems slow. Jun 11 10:31:17 I still want https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo though Jun 11 10:31:27 since both are different repos with different contents Jun 11 10:31:31 afaict that was a community project. Jun 11 10:31:47 (according to the wiki page I linked) Jun 11 10:32:19 What I am trying to figure out is the relationship between https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo, http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo and https://github.com/community-ssu/qt-x11-maemo Jun 11 10:32:44 i.e. exactly what source code was first used to build https://github.com/community-ssu/qt-x11-maemo Jun 11 10:33:56 Actually, it's the same repo. Jun 11 10:34:05 well, the same head commit, at least. Jun 11 10:34:10 which ones? Jun 11 10:34:10 https://web.archive.org/web/20110909004922/https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 10:34:20 last push is 1f7db84 Jun 11 10:34:32 which is the head of the repo I first linked. Jun 11 10:35:31 guess the reason it's slow is just because the repository is so big. Jun 11 10:35:36 Receiving objects: 43% (230155/534275), 157.12 MiB | 744.00 KiB/s Jun 11 10:35:46 Yeah Jun 11 10:36:28 but you can they're the same by looking at the commit ids through the gitweb UI and through the wayback view of gitorious. Jun 11 10:39:39 My guess is that https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers and http://qt.gitorious.org were aliases of each other Jun 11 10:40:15 If you look at the wayback view of http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo you can see that its owned by +qt-developers Jun 11 10:41:11 Aha, now Jun 11 10:41:13 now I see Jun 11 10:41:35 http://gitorious.org/+qt-maemo-developers/qt/qt-maemo is a totally different repo than http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo aka https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 10:42:53 * Maxdamantus hopes someday to use software on his phone that is not a fork of a fork of some mainstream software. Jun 11 10:43:25 And https://github.com/community-ssu/qt-x11-maemo formerly https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/qt-x11-maemo is clearly a fork of https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 10:48:13 so now I have yet another QT tree on my disk :) Jun 11 10:49:19 You can probably save disk space by just keeping them all in the same local repository. Jun 11 10:52:21 in one of the repositories, just add the other repositories as alternatives, then add all the remotes as used by the other repositories, and fetch. Jun 11 10:52:41 then `git repack -a -d`, and remove the alternates file. Jun 11 10:53:20 (won't need to download anything significant since you should already have the relevant objects accessible through alternates) Jun 11 10:54:04 Total on-disk size of all 4 QT related repos I can find off the top of my head is only 2.69GB which isn't a problem Jun 11 10:55:54 I have the Nokia QT repository, the CSSU repo that was forked from it, the upstream QT 4.x source repository and then the Debian QT 4.x repository (which is just the debian local packaging/patches stuff on top of the Nokia repo) Jun 11 10:56:08 I mean the upstream QT repo Jun 11 10:56:23 or rather its a fork on top of an upstream QT tarball :) Jun 11 11:30:11 Maxdamantus: you're welcome to help out @ not a fork of a fork :p Jun 11 11:32:34 Wizzup: yeah, if I can get around to doing stuff, it would basically just be making separate non-maemo software that is useful for my N900. Jun 11 11:32:55 (so I can just run those programs on debian or something) Jun 11 11:34:39 https://gitorious.org/qt/niqts-qt-maemo-developers-x11-maemo.git/ ? Jun 11 11:37:01 I got what I want now Jun 11 11:37:04 So its all good Jun 11 11:37:29 That last repository linked is a subset of https://gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 11:37:55 https://gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo is the same code that used to be at both http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo and http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 13:33:41 famous findings that should have been archived on a wiki page but never were Jun 11 13:34:18 ~qt Jun 11 13:34:18 it has been said that qt is TrollTech's QT library, available at http://www.trolltech.com Jun 11 13:34:38 ~#maemo qt is https://gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo is the same code that used to be at both http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo and http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 13:34:38 okay, DocScrutinizer05 Jun 11 13:34:47 ~qt Jun 11 13:34:47 it has been said that qt is https://gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo is the same code that used to be at both http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo and http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/x11-maemo Jun 11 13:36:39 ~literal x11 Jun 11 13:36:40 "#maemo x11" is "Install xauth on N900 (apt-get install xauth).

Jun 11 14:25:14 <sixwheeledbeast^> brolin_empey: Nvidia have concentrated on GFX, ATI are part of AMD. also there is only the Southbridge chipset required on later stuff compared to older boards with a "northbridge". Jun 11 15:07:56 <enyc> sixwheeledbeast^: what about VIA, SiS, Ali ? Jun 11 15:10:00 <KotCzarny> all subpar performance, to say at least Jun 11 15:11:07 <enyc> I remember the Pentium-II with silly chipset Jun 11 15:11:25 <enyc> 'weird ISA timing issues on some cards, too Jun 11 15:11:26 <enyc> etc Jun 11 15:11:36 <sixwheeledbeast^> All older chipsets than above?

Jun 11 15:27:44 <enyc> anyway Jun 11 15:45:33 <sixwheeledbeast^> I never had any issues with any AMD stuff. I always understood Socket A and Athlon where solid. Most chip deaths where related to damaging the CPU on heatsink mounting Jun 11 15:46:57 <sixwheeledbeast^> Latter CPU's "amd64" had lids on covering the die etc and therefore less likely to damage from heatsink mounting. Jun 11 15:47:41 <sixwheeledbeast^> caps would be down to board manufacturer I suppose. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 12 03:00:04 2018
