[06:39] <inetpro> good morning
[07:12] <superfly> hi inetpro
[07:54] <sakhi> mooning
[08:11] <Kilos> morning superfly inetpro nuvolari  and all you other fells
[08:11] <Kilos> fellas
[08:17] <inetpro> Kilos: heh, how are you doing?
[08:18] <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
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <inetpro> then I only copy configs and data across that I know I need
[08:20] <inetpro> like .mozilla/.thunderbird/.firefox/.purple....etc
[08:21] <inetpro> and my own data files I keep in a top level folder called my
[08:21] <inetpro> eish...
[08:26] <Kilos> now even xchat closing
[08:26] <Kilos> and pc reboots on its own
[08:26] <Kilos> hehe
[09:59] <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
[10:24] <inetpro> superfly: good idea
[10:33] <inetpro> 3G connectivity in Shellybeach / Margate areas suck big time
[10:34] <inetpro> guess I can't complain to much because at least the connectivity is there, but its definitely not fast and not stable
[10:36] <inetpro> I get relatively the same speed with either Vodacom or MTN via 8ta
[14:02] <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
[14:03] <Kilos> i have even tried to install dos onto it so far but it keeps saying grub failure
[14:04] <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
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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?
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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
[14:11] <charlvn> ah i see, not sure, can't say i had similar experience myself
[14:12] <charlvn> sorry wish i could be of more help :)
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <Kilos> np charlvn ty
[20:50]  * inetpro very happy to have figured how to check vc data bundle balance from the cli without sim swapping
