[08:18] im fine ty just my probs from lucid are now in maverick since i did rsync [08:18] eish [08:18] even software centre disappears halfway through installing [08:18] lol [08:19] as jy kan sukkel, sal jy [08:19] Kilos: that's why I always do selective synching when I do my upgrades [08:19] with a new upgrade I always start with a clean home folder [08:20] then I only copy configs and data across that I know I need [08:20] like .mozilla/.thunderbird/.firefox/.purple....etc [08:21] and my own data files I keep in a top level folder called my [08:21] eish... [08:26] now even xchat closing [08:26] and pc reboots on its own [08:26] hehe [09:59] Maaz: tell Kilos create a new user and log into that user and see if you're still having problems [09:59] superfly: Sure, I'll tell Kilos on freenode === smorar_ is now known as smorar [10:24] superfly: good idea [10:33] 3G connectivity in Shellybeach / Margate areas suck big time [10:34] guess I can't complain to much because at least the connectivity is there, but its definitely not fast and not stable [10:36] I get relatively the same speed with either Vodacom or MTN via 8ta === smorar__ is now known as smorar___ === deegee_ is now known as deegee [14:02] 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] i am using 9.04 here now [14:03] i have even tried to install dos onto it so far but it keeps saying grub failure [14:04] is there a place i can just get grub and try install that off a usb stick [14:04] yeah installing dos won't help, grub installs itself into the mbr i think, dos won't override that [14:05] when you do an ubuntu install, it should prompt you "would you like to install grub" or something like that [14:05] that should overwrite the grub in the mbr and configure it correctly [14:05] lol i have even tried dos fdisk which used to kill anything [14:05] yeah unfortunately fdisk doesn't bother with the mbr either [14:06] charlvn, i have tried 3 or 4 times to install sometimes advanced and once letting it use the whole disk [14:06] sorry, i missed half the conversation, what are you trying to do? [14:07] trying to install 10.10 but pc crashed earlier [14:07] programs kept closing on their own [14:07] like a virus crashes windows [14:08] how do i get into the mbr [14:08] i can put that drive in here as a second drive if i can get in that way [14:11] ah i see, not sure, can't say i had similar experience myself [14:12] sorry wish i could be of more help :) [14:14] maybe there is a way of rewriting the mbr [14:14] i have a cd that does troubleshooting but was scared of it till now [14:14] will take a look [14:15] np charlvn ty [20:50] * inetpro very happy to have figured how to check vc data bundle balance from the cli without sim swapping === smorar___ is now known as smorar__ === smorar__ is now known as smorar___
