| inetpro | good morning | 04:42 |
| bmg505 | good morning | 05:44 |
| bmg505 | I will never again buy a nokia, and it has all to do with the shit service they give, not the phone | 05:46 |
| superfly | nokia doesn't have a real presence in SA, they mostly defer you to Vodacom | 06:09 |
| Kilos | afternoon all | 11:35 |
| deegee_ | hi Kilos | 11:36 |
| Kilos | hiya deegee | 11:37 |
| nlsthzn | alo | 11:42 |
| nlsthzn | debian squeeze is old difficult (stable) ubuntu... can't imagine why I thought it would be a good idea to install it | 11:52 |
| Kilos | hehe. hiya nlsthzn | 11:52 |
| nlsthzn | Hey uncle... what is up? | 11:53 |
| Kilos | been struggling for 6 days or so. pc crashed | 11:53 |
| Kilos | tried a clean install of maverick and the world fell down | 11:54 |
| nlsthzn | :( that sucks... | 11:54 |
| Kilos | yeah. tell me about it | 11:54 |
| nlsthzn | wow... maverick has been very stable for me to few times I installed it... natty however... phew.... | 11:54 |
| Kilos | ithink it is in my bios that the prob appears on its own | 11:55 |
| Kilos | maybe a bug got in there somehow | 11:55 |
| nlsthzn | possible I guess... | 11:55 |
| Kilos | after 5 days i left battery out all night and then started from scratch and here we are | 11:55 |
| Kilos | tried clean installs many times. only 9.10 would go in and then when i tried maverick near the end of the updates it would crash again | 11:57 |
| Kilos | wasted lotsa data | 11:57 |
| * Kilos cries | 11:57 | |
| nlsthzn | :( | 11:58 |
| superfly | Kilos: is this on the hard drive we told you was bad? | 11:59 |
| Kilos | i tried 3 drives superfly . 6g 20g and 80g and all did the same | 11:59 |
| Kilos | i am now on the 20g | 11:59 |
| Kilos | i just need some help with the archives goodie please | 12:00 |
| deegee_ | Kilos: i think that should be a hardware problem. have you tried installing maverick alternative? | 12:00 |
| deegee_ | instead of the maverick desktop install cd... | 12:01 |
| Kilos | with 9.10 using same commands i can clean install and then reverse the archives command and not download anything | 12:01 |
| Kilos | maverick takes 110m every time | 12:01 |
| Kilos | i dont have the altcd deegee_ | 12:02 |
| Kilos | somewhere the latest linux headers and kernel are hiding and need to get them everytime from the net | 12:02 |
| Kilos | also oo and all the cups stuff | 12:03 |
| deegee_ | Kilos: are you around pretoria perhaps? might burn you a copy | 12:03 |
| deegee_ | during the week | 12:03 |
| Kilos | i am on the way to brits but can get it picked up from pretoria west | 12:04 |
| Kilos | this is a genuine cd | 12:04 |
| Kilos | pretty and all | 12:04 |
| Kilos | from canonical | 12:04 |
| Kilos | hehe | 12:04 |
| nlsthzn | Kilos: well... seeing as I could with assistance to how it should be done I could put most of the repo's on disc for you and let the post office do the rest | 12:05 |
| deegee_ | Kilos: genuine or not, fact is; if it doesn't go well with your hardware it will give problems... | 12:05 |
| Kilos | even after successful install from months ago deegee_ ?? | 12:06 |
| deegee_ | Kilos: you might need a hardware refresh.. | 12:07 |
| Kilos | oh i also tried karmic and some others as well and all gave crap | 12:07 |
| nlsthzn | Kilos: like the guy said when his horse fell over dead, "Strange, his never done that before" | 12:07 |
| Kilos | hee hee hee | 12:07 |
| Kilos | yes this is an old one that actually went flying out of a window before it was dumped and i got it | 12:08 |
| Kilos | hehe | 12:08 |
| Kilos | but now after the battery out over night this install went quick and clean | 12:08 |
| Kilos | maybe a bios upgrade will sort the prob | 12:09 |
| Kilos | but thats beyond me | 12:09 |
| deegee_ | i got a pII running 8.04.4 server at my office, doesn't like to upgrade to anything beyond that... | 12:09 |
| nlsthzn | sounds more like motherboard or psu... but I am no hardware guru | 12:09 |
| Kilos | i got a cd called | 12:10 |
| Kilos | um | 12:10 |
| Kilos | er | 12:10 |
| deegee_ | Kilos: are you sure it's not affected by the y2k bug? | 12:11 |
| Kilos | UBCD | 12:11 |
| Kilos | hehe | 12:11 |
| Kilos | UBCD tests everything ram , cpu drives etc and said all was ok | 12:11 |
| Kilos | y2k? wasnt that just a hoax | 12:12 |
| deegee_ | is that the latest UBCD? | 12:12 |
| deegee_ | heh... | 12:12 |
| Kilos | about 6 months old | 12:12 |
| * deegee_ can't say much about UBCD | 12:13 | |
| Kilos | very involved for me to work out what all it can do | 12:13 |
| Kilos | i use these 2 commands to save packages . how come it doesnt save the updated OO and linux headers etc as it does in 9.10 | 12:24 |
| Kilos | sudo cp /var/cache/apt/archives/* /media/storage/packs | 12:24 |
| Kilos | sudo cp /media/storage/packs/* /var/cache/apt/archives | 12:24 |
| Kilos | if i say the word chown superfly jumps on me | 12:24 |
| Kilos | is there something i must add to get hidden files as well | 12:25 |
| * nlsthzn is going to try natty one last time... come on you silly alpha release piece of ... debian :p | 12:42 | |
| Kilos | lol | 12:42 |
| * nlsthzn is not sure why he does this to himself... | 12:49 | |
| Kilos | because you can | 12:49 |
| Kilos | like the peeps that write virusses | 12:49 |
| nlsthzn | Kilos: ah... makes sense... | 13:04 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 17:27 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 17:27 | |
| Kilos | Maaz, whats for supper | 17:27 |
| Maaz | Steak , egg and chips. And a free Coke | 17:27 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 17:31 |
| Kilos | Maaz, thanks alot | 17:32 |
| Maaz | no worries, Kilos | 17:32 |
| inetpro | good evening Kilos | 17:32 |
| Kilos | hiya inetpro howzit | 17:33 |
| inetpro | Kilos: hmm... ok I guess | 17:33 |
| * inetpro had an unavoidable crash this morning when a car swerved in front of us. | 17:34 | |
| inetpro | at least everyone is ok with just minor damage to cars | 17:35 |
| Kilos | wow. sorry man | 17:35 |
| Kilos | happy to hear everyone ok | 17:35 |
| inetpro | terrible feeling of uselessness for being at the wrong point at the wrong time though | 17:37 |
| Kilos | yeah | 17:37 |
| superfly | eish, inetpro, I'm glad you're OK | 17:44 |
| inetpro | superfly: thanks | 17:45 |
| superfly | I've been in a couple, and I hate the feeling | 17:45 |
| inetpro | I just wish there was software that could be used for simulating and documenting the event | 17:48 |
| inetpro | I'm the worst when it comes to drawing it on paper | 17:49 |
| Kilos | cell fone camera | 17:49 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I took two snaps afterwards... should have taking more though | 17:50 |
| inetpro | Kilos: when looking at the other car it's difficult to imagine that we were driving in the same direction when suddenly she decided to turn right at the green robot while I was coming from behind on her right hand side | 17:54 |
| Kilos | eish | 17:56 |
| inetpro | unfortunately my car just went skidding ahead when I applied the breaks... so much for a car without ABS breaks | 17:59 |
| inetpro | if I had ABS I'm quite convinced that I would have avoided it | 17:59 |
| Kilos | not maybe oil on the road as well | 17:59 |
| inetpro | very possible | 18:00 |
| dwidge | inetpro: actually there is software that the investigators use, saw it on a crime documentary, but they didn't name anything specific. they put in all the known data from the scene and it renders a 3d clip of the event from different angles | 19:24 |
| superfly | inetpro: you skidded because you slammed on breaks. if you'd gradually increased the pressure, but never hit 100% brakes, you would have slowed down in time | 19:25 |
| inetpro | superfly: maybe | 19:26 |
| inetpro | superfly: I tried | 19:26 |
| dwidge | in the documentary they showed the sim of a utility vehicle clipping a girl on the pavement, ragdoll physics and all | 19:26 |
| superfly | inetpro: I've taken an advanced driving course - that works. | 19:26 |
| superfly | of course if you'd been going over the speed limit and not maintaining your following distance, nothing would have helped :-P | 19:27 |
| Kilos | can someone tell me where to find this iso please. | 20:52 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s23GCFkHcp | 20:52 |
| Kilos | can you only get to it via cli | 20:52 |
| Kilos | i dunno how to open home to find it unless i go cli | 20:53 |
| Kilos | and the temp file is gone because power tripped | 20:54 |
| Kilos | it also says If you are a gui person, simply click on the "Remastersys Backup" icon in the System Menu and you can select which option you want to run. | 20:56 |
| Kilos | i dont have that icon | 20:56 |
| * Kilos scratches noggin | 20:56 | |
| Kilos | sorry found it | 20:59 |
| Kilos | kinda blind i be | 20:59 |
| Kilos | must mak stuff bigger | 20:59 |
| Kilos | make | 20:59 |
| Kilos | see ya later | 20:59 |
