Arch on hadron-collider?

Flying Saxman · 2008-09-10 16:38:41

Hi @ all!
I just bought a not so much uses hadron-collider on ebay. Does anyone know, if it works with ArchLinux? Do not want to use propietary-software as everybody knows it only produces black holes (in our banking-account).

Thanks for the help in advance!

*lol*
Boy, don't think about such things, you'll die in a few seconds because of that brand new one in Schwitzerländ 3,2,1, .... boredom ...

It runs only protons.

Nope, my one still runs on electrons.

Ah. Does it say "Small Hadron Collider" on the box? I think you might have an obsolete model there.

And, AFAIK, electrons aren't hadrons. I would ask for my money back ;-)

Yours is officially deprecated. CERN is where it's at!

Every time I see the phrase "hadron collider" I giggle. I'm so immature.

Allan · 2008-09-10 22:55:33

Yep, so immature.... http://largehardoncollider.com/nyt_lhc.html

LOL !!! I hope he doesn't get fired for that.

I had bought mine brand new a few years back. Installing Arch was easy, but running it was another story. This is the only screenshot I was able to get, after one billionth of a second of operation:

It's not a stable system.

It's not small it's 'Fun Size'.

Arch is compatible just found the software on AUR aur/supercollider 3.2-1. Suggest yaourt -S supercollider

It did not arrive yet and the ebay-description was only "used hadron collider, looks new, with cool Masters of the Universe-painting (Skeletor)!" nothing more and nothing less. I hope it runs with 230 Volt!

So you mean my one won't work? Shit, it was not that cheap!

@peets: sounds not good. Any other distribution you got running on it? Maybe gentoo so it will be compiling till the world ends?

edit: Does anyone know, if I can collide tacos with it? Hope to get a new, ultra-tasty-taco this way.

Nobody will know until Oct.21 when they actually collide it for real. So far it's just tests with no collision.

Army · 2008-09-12 11:56:30

After the destruction, will it then change from nope to yepp?

chori · 2008-09-12 13:05:51

I think it comes with preinstalled with Windows Vista, and all the drivers are proprietary Logitech drivers. But you might be able to check your email with ndiswrapper.

Flying Saxman · 2008-09-14 17:25:46

Just for you information: It arrived today (boy, it's really huge, bigger than my hole town!). I connected everything, fired it up AND...

...nothing happend... Did I do anything wrong?
peets: Did you get yours running?

Oh, almost forgot: It used to run on Win 3.1 (as I mentioned, it was very old), but the previous owner upgraded it a little bit and installed LHCbuntu. Very funny colored and does not give any error messages regarding why my collider does not work... :-/

what does the following command return ?

cat /proc/sys/collider | grep blackholes

On my 'tiny hadron smasher' (sorry, it's the chinese model. Not enough money to get the real one), typing cat /proc/platform/collider | grep blackhole returns

SINGULARITY: not set. Waiting for bossom

it this a bug?

It looks like the letters from my shell are getting sucked away. Looks quite strange. But besides that there is no output.

I'll bet cat /proc/sys/collider | grep blackholes returns /dev/null! LOL

Don't turn it on, you'll get hacked.
