| 00:02 | <@Alek> | some sources say it'll fix itself in a couple weeks at most |
| 00:02 | <@Alek> | some say it's because of corrupted files I need to go about fixing. |
| 00:04 | <@Alek> | I'll run dism and sfc for now, I guess. |

| 00:30 | <@Alek> | ... no problems found. -_- |
| 00:32 | < Mahal> | Driver issues are not a problem with the Windows OS, so why would they? |
| 00:32 | < Mahal> | If you haveproblems with Reader, just download an alternative. Foxit or something. |
| 00:32 | <&McMartin> | Mahal: The idea was that the .sys files had gotten wrecked somehow and thus would fail sigchecks. |
| 00:33 | <&McMartin> | I just got recommended an open-source reader the other month, where was that... |
| 00:33 | <&ToxicFrog> | Evince? |
| 00:33 | <&McMartin> | Evince isn't on Windows |
| 00:33 | <&McMartin> | SumatraPDF |
| 00:33 | <&McMartin> | https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html |
| 00:33 | <&ToxicFrog> | Yes it is. |
| 00:34 | <&ToxicFrog> | There's windows versions of both Evince and Okular. |
| 00:34 | <&McMartin> | Does it include an entire GNOME distribution with it or is it Windows native? |
| 00:34 | <&ToxicFrog> | The latter. |
| 00:34 | <&ToxicFrog> | It's been my go-to PDF reader on windows for ages. |
| 00:34 | < Mahal> | "sort of" Evince developers do not provide a ready-to-install version for Windows. However, there are two external efforts that provide packages for Windows: |

| 00:34 | <&McMartin> | External efforts are more respectable |

| 00:35 | <&McMartin> | GTK3's "windows port" is in fact basically the entire GNOME distribution hiding in 16,000 ancillary files |
| 00:35 | <&McMartin> | And if they aren't there then even your minimize/maximize/close icons end up as "broken image link" images. |

| 01:00 | <@Alek> | Mahal: windows app issues are sometimes a problem with the windows OS, since the windows store is tied in, apparently. |
| 01:01 | < Mahal> | Alek: Yes, I know. |
| 01:01 | <@Alek> | do the other free readers also do form filling and writing for PDF files with fillable forms? |
| 01:01 | < Mahal> | I recommend that you visit their websites to find that out :P |
| 01:01 | <@Alek> | Adobe's free reader doesn't, IIRC, although I could be wrong. Windows Reader does. -_- |
| 01:01 | <@Alek> | hm. fine, I will. |
| 01:02 | < Mahal> | this is not a requirement I personally have so I've never investigate. |
| 01:03 | <@Alek> | ... Sumatra doesn't have form editing functionality, according to a thread I saw they're literally too lazy to add it. |

| 01:13 | <&ToxicFrog> | This is a requirement I sometimes have, but in my experience no reader including Adobe's own or the one built in to Chrome does this reliably, whether they claim to or not |
| 01:14 | <@Alek> | .... tried another app via the windows store, same problem. |
| 01:14 | <&ToxicFrog> | So I inevitably end up filling out as much as I can, printing it out, hand-filling the parts that I either couldn't fill out in software or that mysteriously emptied themselves as soon as I saved, and scanning the result |

| 01:18 | <@Alek> | TF: the windows store reader was good, it's just that it doesn't work right now. -_- |
| 01:19 | <@Alek> | I hadn't seen any such problems from it as you mention. |
| 01:19 | | * Alek shrugs. |
| 01:24 | <@Alek> | the errors now are "the remote procedure call failed" but the RPC and DCOM services are normal. |
| 01:24 | <@Alek> | I should try to reboot again, maybe. |

| 16:09 | <@iospace> | ok |
| 16:09 | <@iospace> | so the weather app thingy has now morphed into "METAR parser" stage |
