| inetpro | good morning | 06:39 |
|---|---|---|
| superfly | hi inetpro | 07:12 |
| sakhi | mooning | 07:54 |
| Kilos | morning superfly inetpro nuvolari and all you other fells | 08:11 |
| Kilos | fellas | 08:11 |
| inetpro | Kilos: heh, how are you doing? | 08:17 |
| Kilos | im fine ty just my probs from lucid are now in maverick since i did rsync | 08:18 |
| inetpro | eish | 08:18 |
| Kilos | even software centre disappears halfway through installing | 08:18 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:18 |
| Kilos | as jy kan sukkel, sal jy | 08:19 |
| inetpro | Kilos: that's why I always do selective synching when I do my upgrades | 08:19 |
| inetpro | with a new upgrade I always start with a clean home folder | 08:19 |
| inetpro | then I only copy configs and data across that I know I need | 08:20 |
| inetpro | like .mozilla/.thunderbird/.firefox/.purple....etc | 08:20 |
| inetpro | and my own data files I keep in a top level folder called my | 08:21 |
| inetpro | eish... | 08:21 |
| Kilos | now even xchat closing | 08:26 |
| Kilos | and pc reboots on its own | 08:26 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:26 |
| superfly | Maaz: tell Kilos create a new user and log into that user and see if you're still having problems | 09:59 |
| Maaz | superfly: Sure, I'll tell Kilos on freenode | 09:59 |

| inetpro | superfly: good idea | 10:24 |
| inetpro | 3G connectivity in Shellybeach / Margate areas suck big time | 10:33 |
| inetpro | guess I can't complain to much because at least the connectivity is there, but its definitely not fast and not stable | 10:34 |
| inetpro | I get relatively the same speed with either Vodacom or MTN via 8ta | 10:36 |

| Kilos | sorry superfly i have tried to do a clean install but it wont even do that. i have partitioned and all but it cant find a valid filing system or something | 14:02 |
| Kilos | i am using 9.04 here now | 14:02 |
| Kilos | i have even tried to install dos onto it so far but it keeps saying grub failure | 14:03 |
| Kilos | is there a place i can just get grub and try install that off a usb stick | 14:04 |
| charlvn | yeah installing dos won't help, grub installs itself into the mbr i think, dos won't override that | 14:04 |
| charlvn | when you do an ubuntu install, it should prompt you "would you like to install grub" or something like that | 14:05 |
| charlvn | that should overwrite the grub in the mbr and configure it correctly | 14:05 |
| Kilos | lol i have even tried dos fdisk which used to kill anything | 14:05 |
| charlvn | yeah unfortunately fdisk doesn't bother with the mbr either | 14:05 |
| Kilos | charlvn, i have tried 3 or 4 times to install sometimes advanced and once letting it use the whole disk | 14:06 |
| charlvn | sorry, i missed half the conversation, what are you trying to do? | 14:06 |
| Kilos | trying to install 10.10 but pc crashed earlier | 14:07 |
| Kilos | programs kept closing on their own | 14:07 |
| Kilos | like a virus crashes windows | 14:07 |
| Kilos | how do i get into the mbr | 14:08 |
| Kilos | i can put that drive in here as a second drive if i can get in that way | 14:08 |
| charlvn | ah i see, not sure, can't say i had similar experience myself | 14:11 |
| charlvn | sorry wish i could be of more help :) | 14:12 |
| Kilos | maybe there is a way of rewriting the mbr | 14:14 |
| Kilos | i have a cd that does troubleshooting but was scared of it till now | 14:14 |
| Kilos | will take a look | 14:14 |
| Kilos | np charlvn ty | 14:15 |
| * inetpro very happy to have figured how to check vc data bundle balance from the cli without sim swapping | 20:50 | |
