| Unit193 | You can't just take out a HD from one comp and put it in another can you? (and still have Ubuntu working mostly fine) | 03:10 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | ubuntu yes, windows, no | 03:10 |
| * Cheri703 does it fairly often | 03:11 | |
| Unit193 | Sweet! Do I have to do any post/pre changes? | 03:11 |
| Cheri703 | uhm, not really? if for some reason it's unhappy, you can put it back in and do the changes | 03:11 |
| Unit193 | Ok, thanks muchly! | 03:11 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: Yes. | 03:31 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: You will likely have to change some nic settings, but other than that you'll be fine. | 03:31 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: For whatever reason, whenever you switch machines it increments the NIC by one.. so eth0 becomes eth1, etc. | 03:31 |
| Unit193 | canthus13: wlan0 becomes wlan1 (I don't have a NIC in that comp) | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | ^ ? | 03:33 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: ifconfig -A should list the interfaces. | 03:33 |
| canthus13 | err. -a | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | Just saying that same thing for wireless... | 03:34 |
| canthus13 | If you're going from one brand of video chipset to another, you may also run into some weirdness. | 03:34 |
| canthus13 | I dunno. I would imagine it's the same. the only drive migration I've done has been on my servers. | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | Celeron to P4... | 03:35 |
| canthus13 | Processor is no big deal. | 03:35 |
| canthus13 | But if you go from nvidia to ATi, you may have a little trouble with screen resolution. | 03:35 |
| Unit193 | I don't even know what either has... | 03:36 |
| canthus13 | Everything else should be fine. | 03:36 |
| canthus13 | Although, with laptops, you never know. there may be some oddball proprietary hardware involved. | 03:36 |
| Unit193 | Both are desktops | 03:36 |
| Unit193 | One is HP the other is Dell... | 03:37 |
| canthus13 | Heh. the 2 brands that seem to do the best with linux. :) | 03:37 |
| canthus13 | Wireless chipset could be an issue. | 03:38 |
| Unit193 | Both are rather old... | 03:38 |
| Unit193 | RT73... | 03:38 |
| canthus13 | Dunno about that one. | 03:38 |
| canthus13 | but the worst that can happen is it won't work and you have to put the drive back. It's not like windows where everything breaks. | 03:39 |
| Unit193 | Never done it in windows (I have virtualized one before, no issues there) | 03:41 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: Heh. Don't bother. when you pop the drive into another machine, it freaks out, finds all new hardware, and sometimes refuses to even get far enough to find the new hardware... | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | The worst that can happen is that the Dell computer won't work... | 03:42 |
| canthus13 | it's a dell. as long as the hardware is good, it should work. | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | I just FINALLY fixed one windows network issue... took way too long.. | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | Not all that sure about the h/w | 03:43 |
| canthus13 | Ah. | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | Take a look at the timestamp:https://www.apnic.net/publications/news/2011/delegation | 03:53 |
| canthus13 | Yep. it's February 1st in asia. makes sense. | 04:02 |
| Unit193 | I still think it's kinda funny... IPv6 is needed, but I don't like it... | 04:04 |
| Cheri703 | ha ha suckahs! I don't have to scrape ice off of a windshield in the morning! I don't think I've ever been so ok with freezing rain :) | 05:29 |
| Unit193 | I was just out in it... it's crazy! | 05:41 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I'm thinking of getting out the umbrella, putting on my yak-trax and going for a walk :) | 05:42 |
| Unit193 | Boots and umbrella would have been good... | 05:43 |
| Cheri703 | yak-trax let you walk on ice without slipping | 05:43 |
| Cheri703 | they're AWESOME | 05:44 |
| dmcglone | Hi everyone | 14:29 |
| dmcglone | Somehow I am having a problem with my keyboard. every time I type the audio b | 14:30 |
| dmcglone | mutes | 14:30 |
| canthus13 | Hmm. Neat interrupt issue. | 14:45 |
