[00:00] If my hard-drive crashes and burns then I'll just hit the salvage heaps but no one throws out a ups [00:11] actually a UPS is probably easy to find, just get a new battery [00:12] do you keep backups? [00:12] I'm judging this off the fact that I've seen one UPS in my life but have seen well over a thousand hard-drives [00:12] Not in a major way, actually, is there a way to access windows networked folders? [00:12] samba [00:12] !fusesmb [00:12] fusesmb is a tool that allows easy access to shared folders (smb) on a network. Links with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb [00:13] Okay, here's the plan: I get FuseSmb and my wireless drivers backed up on my 2 gb MP3 player. [00:14] Then I switch to my XP partition and finish watching a movie I don't feel like backing up [00:14] Then I re-install EVERYTHING, and use the backedup files on my other computer that is only on when my dad is using it [00:15] I need to sort through things, so I don't get the Adobe master collection on my linux box, that takes a while, like all iso files... plus it's useless [00:16] okay, now... crapshoot [00:16] !mp3 [00:16] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:16] !mp3 player [00:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about mp3 player [00:16] !mount [00:16] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [00:17] Is there a way to mount an MP3 player? [00:17] a lot of them automount similar to a flash drive [00:17] which directory would it be in? [00:17] NVM! [00:17] that's NIFTY. [00:19] you should think of finding a usb hdd enclosure [00:19] Yeah, I have my eyes on a 250 gig on sale at Radioshack for 100 bucks [00:19] if you don't have a problem finding a hdd, salvage one and stick it in the enclosure, then you've got an easy way to move data around [00:20] you should be able to get 500GB for $100 [00:20] Hard drives aren't necessarily easy to find so much as easy to buy for a couple bucks or yardwork [00:20] wait, really? Where? [00:20] I usually use newegg.com [00:21] other places might be cheaper, but they're reliable and have good customer service in case something is broken [00:21] Gah, I need to pay things off first but then, I will keep that in mind [00:21] I never use Newegg but until now I couldn't buy things off the internet, no bank account. [00:21] but I just got 2 external 500GB w/usb 2 + esata for like 95 each [00:21] Used cash [00:21] THANK YOU SO MUCH! [00:21] you can buy one of those visa cards [00:21] like a visa gift card [00:21] I just got an idea for installing xubuntu! [00:21] or use a debit card if you have one [00:22] on an external HD? [00:22] no [00:22] wait - [00:22] then going around and playing with it on other people's computers? [00:22] I thought of installing it by using my old iPod! [00:22] :O [00:22] Can';t you install some linux distros on an iPod? [00:22] thank you so much! it's a 2GB iPod Nano - 2nd Gen. [00:23] yeah, but that isn't what I"m thinking of... [00:23] good idea, tho [00:23] I can use the live USB thing [00:23] right? [00:23] if I format the iPod as a drive? [00:24] you could, or you could sell the ipod and probably buy about ten 2gb usb drives with the profit [00:24] ... [00:24] nah. this is more clever. [00:24] haha [00:24] the iPod is old. [00:24] just saying... [00:24] yeah, but people pay a premium for apple stuff [00:24] aah [00:24] good point. [00:24] wait - what exaclty is a premium? [00:24] extra? [00:25] yes [00:25] ok [00:25] Wait, I have a 2 gig mp3 player, could I use it to store an OS? [00:25] well I'll remove the liveUSB thing first. [00:25] It's just flash media though [00:25] that, and you can get 2gb flash for about $8 [00:25] my iPod is flash. [00:28] Okay, here's a strange question. I tried ripping a CD that was scratched up to all hell. I know, it had to spin down and spin back up a few times, and probably wasn't the best on my CD ROM. [00:29] However, ever since I've done that, my system has _dragged._ Like, taking 10-20 seconds to open a music file off the hard drive. [00:30] (In other news, does anybody know the hotkey for fullscreen on PuTTY? I clicked the wrong button, and now irssi is my whole screen..) [00:31] (Nvm about the PuTTY) [00:32] o_O [00:32] That's a weird problem [00:33] Pity I can't help. Ta ta! [00:33] It may not be cause and effect; That's just the immediate thing I... noticed... [00:40] what the fuck? [00:40] It's even persistent after a reboot. [00:40] Ehr... my mistake; forgot this isn't a private channel.

[05:21] the plot twists [05:21] STWeston, because someone was complaining about you asking questions in #ubuntu-installer and so I join the channel and I don't even have to wait to see who he is talking about because the last time I was in the channel back in December 2007 you were annoying people then too and it was right there in the backlog. [05:22] what? [05:22] I don't remember that. [05:22] wut [05:22] honestly [05:22] maybe he had ubuntu installation problems [05:22] and now that he's solved them he's new again [05:22] the guy was being helpful [05:23] :P [05:23] I'm going to bed. behave yourselves :P [05:23] okay [05:23] fine.
