XpistosIt's not just 95%14:17
XpistosNeed to change jobs14:18
wrstthink upon the 5% :)14:18
XpistosJust because I can do everything doesn't mean they need to expect me to do that14:18
XpistosI have gone above and beyond for my company, but now they just expect me to do it all the time14:18
wrstand if you do everything the paycheck needs to reflect it!14:18
Xpistoswell, i work for a non profit so....14:19
wrstoh yeah... that's not likely then :\14:19
XpistosI do what I can for the place I work whenever I can. It is when they just expect it and let me do it, that I say ... time to go14:19
XpistosLast week they began to realize that I won't keep doing it an now they begin to see what happens when I leave.14:20
wrstha that will show 'em!14:28
* cyberanger rolls out of his coffin15:03
cyberangerwrst: all seems well now15:03
cyberangerhad to kick in the batteries, they held15:04
wrstthats good cyberanger sounds like you actually slept?15:06
cyberangerslept?15:08
cyberangeryeah, did15:08
cyberangerless than desired still15:09
wrstwell its a start cyberanger :)15:13
cyberangerwrst: not a good one though20:14
wrstisn't any sleep good?20:14
chris4585well I think ubuntu just destroyed my home :|20:32
wrstwhat chris4585???????????20:38
chris4585wrst, trying to upgrade from the CD was a bad idea for me at least...20:38
chris4585I'm having some trouble locating where things from my /home went to...20:39
wrstoh your home directory, not your physical dwelling place :)20:39
chris4585lol..20:39
wrsthmm i've about just given up on upgrades20:39
chris4585well it worked well on another computer...20:39
chris4585I have not lost much because I have a backup from my last reinstall, but new music I've got since then I'll have to find again..20:40
chris4585right now I'm trying to get to the bottom of what happened to my files, especially when the installer says "no files will be deleted..."20:40
chris4585actually some of the good music was spared... on this laptop, but I'm going to have to download multiple torrents again :'(20:42
cyberangerwrst: some extent, yes20:45
cyberangerchris4585: ouch20:46
cyberangerchris4585: I think you'll want to do that over cable next time, that is rather odd20:47
chris4585cyberanger, yep... I'll have to wait, I had at least 2000+ songs downloaded from torrents that are now lost20:47
cyberangerthat might not be ubuntu's fault20:48
cyberangerI blame the RIAA20:48
chris4585lol har har20:48
chris4585http://i.imgur.com/wEH0e.png20:49
* cyberanger still blames the RIAA20:53
cyberangerwhat speed did you burn the disc at20:53
cyberanger?20:53
chris4585cyberanger, its from USB not using a CD20:55
chris4585although I did it first from a CD...20:55
cyberangerhrm20:55
chris4585the burn said it was successful20:55
cyberangerthe burn to USB was successful, intresting20:56
chris4585the burn to the CD said it was successful and the USB should be flawless20:57
cyberangerwell, better odds, why not skip the cd burn and use the iso instead?20:58
cyberangerhey Xpistos20:58
cyberangerchris4585: a flawed read could have tripped it up20:58
cyberangerjust seems an odd result anyways20:59
chris4585cyberanger, think I can use a file recovery program?21:00
cyberangerare you ext3 or 421:02
cyberangerchris4585: your filesystem?21:05
chris4585ext421:05
chris4585cyberanger, got any suggestions?21:06
cyberangergot a working live disc and a seperate drive21:07
cyberangerif so, yes21:08
chris4585yep, ubuntu 11.04 beta running live right now21:08
chris4585separate drive? you mean partition?21:09
cyberangerno drive, want to recover, we need to pull files off drive a, and put them on drive b21:10
cyberangeror we may overwrite what we wish to save21:10
chris4585cyberanger, oh I see, anyway I can do that with a external HDD then? and... does it have to be clean?21:12
chris4585I have 2 externals, but both have files on them21:12
cyberangeryeah, external or network mount point21:12
cyberangersince we're aiming a files, not partitions, just enough free space will do21:13
chris4585alright, I really hope doing this wont delete any more data.. I'm just glad I haven't actually written anything to disk yet21:13
chris4585cyberanger, I'm ready when you are21:14
cyberangerchris4585: that will be a little bit then, all thumbs now21:14
cyberanger30 minutes?21:14
chris4585cyberanger, thats fine21:15
cyberangerok, ssh is nice, typing on a G2 has it's limits21:15
cyberangerheading back, be on in 3021:18
chris4585I might be gone by then, hopefully I can get this started before I have to leave21:21
chris4585cyberanger, I'll be back in about an hour~21:48
* chris4585 pokes cyberanger 23:24
oriastrying to get your data?23:45
chris4585orias, yeah23:47
oriasgoing to just use a live cd, then boot and copy?23:49
chris4585well I already have the livecd running23:49
oriascan you see the drives? (source/destination)23:50
chris4585yep23:50
oriasif so oyu should be able to drag and drop from one to another23:50
oriasunless you need to *undelete*23:50
chris4585orias, I'm not really sure what you're getting at23:51
oriaswhat are you trying to accomplish?23:51
oriasfirst :)23:51
chris4585recover data that has been deleted23:52
oriasahh23:53
oriasuse the live cd23:53
oriasto install the testdisk/photorec packages23:53
oriasuse photorec to scan the drive to recover what you deleted23:53
oriasheres the awkward part23:53
oriasit recovers *everything* ir- if you want to recover *.mp3 it will recover *every *.mp3 it can find23:54
oriasand then give it a generic name/number23:54
oriaslike f12132123:54
oriaslike f121321.mp323:54
orias:)23:54
oriasyoui need to go through the file types in the options and specify what you want, otherwise itll recover *everything*23:55
oriasbrb23:55
