| robertzaccour | hey yall | 01:27 |
|---|---|---|
| cyberanger | what lovely weather we are having | 03:00 |
| cyberanger | your umbrella does NOT double as a lightning rod | 03:02 |
| cyberanger | looking at making a custom install disk now | 03:11 |
| cyberanger | followed by a live disc | 03:12 |
| cyberanger | if lightning weren't a concern, that is | 03:12 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I hope you survived the weather | 11:26 |
| Xpistos | Morning yal | 14:16 |
| Xpistos | wrst | 14:16 |
| wrst | morning Xpistos how goes things? | 14:16 |
| Xpistos | crappy as usual | 14:17 |
| Xpistos | So I must be aliv | 14:17 |
| wrst | Xpistos: cant be all bad | 14:17 |
| Xpistos | It's not just 95% | 14:17 |
| Xpistos | Need to change jobs | 14:18 |
| wrst | think upon the 5% :) | 14:18 |
| Xpistos | Just because I can do everything doesn't mean they need to expect me to do that | 14:18 |
| Xpistos | I have gone above and beyond for my company, but now they just expect me to do it all the time | 14:18 |
| wrst | and if you do everything the paycheck needs to reflect it! | 14:18 |
| Xpistos | well, i work for a non profit so.... | 14:19 |
| wrst | oh yeah... that's not likely then :\ | 14:19 |
| Xpistos | I 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 go | 14:19 |
| Xpistos | Last 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 |
| wrst | ha that will show 'em! | 14:28 |
| * cyberanger rolls out of his coffin | 15:03 | |
| cyberanger | wrst: all seems well now | 15:03 |
| cyberanger | had to kick in the batteries, they held | 15:04 |
| wrst | thats good cyberanger sounds like you actually slept? | 15:06 |
| cyberanger | slept? | 15:08 |
| cyberanger | yeah, did | 15:08 |
| cyberanger | less than desired still | 15:09 |
| wrst | well its a start cyberanger :) | 15:13 |
| cyberanger | wrst: not a good one though | 20:14 |
| wrst | isn't any sleep good? | 20:14 |
| chris4585 | well I think ubuntu just destroyed my home :| | 20:32 |
| wrst | what chris4585??????????? | 20:38 |
| chris4585 | wrst, trying to upgrade from the CD was a bad idea for me at least... | 20:38 |
| chris4585 | I'm having some trouble locating where things from my /home went to... | 20:39 |
| wrst | oh your home directory, not your physical dwelling place :) | 20:39 |
| chris4585 | lol.. | 20:39 |
| wrst | hmm i've about just given up on upgrades | 20:39 |
| chris4585 | well it worked well on another computer... | 20:39 |
| chris4585 | I 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 |
| chris4585 | right 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 |
| chris4585 | actually some of the good music was spared... on this laptop, but I'm going to have to download multiple torrents again :'( | 20:42 |
| cyberanger | wrst: some extent, yes | 20:45 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: ouch | 20:46 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: I think you'll want to do that over cable next time, that is rather odd | 20:47 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, yep... I'll have to wait, I had at least 2000+ songs downloaded from torrents that are now lost | 20:47 |
| cyberanger | that might not be ubuntu's fault | 20:48 |
| cyberanger | I blame the RIAA | 20:48 |
| chris4585 | lol har har | 20:48 |
| chris4585 | http://i.imgur.com/wEH0e.png | 20:49 |
| * cyberanger still blames the RIAA | 20:53 | |
| cyberanger | what speed did you burn the disc at | 20:53 |
| cyberanger | ? | 20:53 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, its from USB not using a CD | 20:55 |
| chris4585 | although I did it first from a CD... | 20:55 |
| cyberanger | hrm | 20:55 |
| chris4585 | the burn said it was successful | 20:55 |
| cyberanger | the burn to USB was successful, intresting | 20:56 |
| chris4585 | the burn to the CD said it was successful and the USB should be flawless | 20:57 |
| cyberanger | well, better odds, why not skip the cd burn and use the iso instead? | 20:58 |
| cyberanger | hey Xpistos | 20:58 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: a flawed read could have tripped it up | 20:58 |
| cyberanger | just seems an odd result anyways | 20:59 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, think I can use a file recovery program? | 21:00 |
| cyberanger | are you ext3 or 4 | 21:02 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: your filesystem? | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | ext4 | 21:05 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, got any suggestions? | 21:06 |
| cyberanger | got a working live disc and a seperate drive | 21:07 |
| cyberanger | if so, yes | 21:08 |
| chris4585 | yep, ubuntu 11.04 beta running live right now | 21:08 |
| chris4585 | separate drive? you mean partition? | 21:09 |
| cyberanger | no drive, want to recover, we need to pull files off drive a, and put them on drive b | 21:10 |
| cyberanger | or we may overwrite what we wish to save | 21:10 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, oh I see, anyway I can do that with a external HDD then? and... does it have to be clean? | 21:12 |
| chris4585 | I have 2 externals, but both have files on them | 21:12 |
| cyberanger | yeah, external or network mount point | 21:12 |
| cyberanger | since we're aiming a files, not partitions, just enough free space will do | 21:13 |
| chris4585 | alright, I really hope doing this wont delete any more data.. I'm just glad I haven't actually written anything to disk yet | 21:13 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, I'm ready when you are | 21:14 |
| cyberanger | chris4585: that will be a little bit then, all thumbs now | 21:14 |
| cyberanger | 30 minutes? | 21:14 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, thats fine | 21:15 |
| cyberanger | ok, ssh is nice, typing on a G2 has it's limits | 21:15 |
| cyberanger | heading back, be on in 30 | 21:18 |
| chris4585 | I might be gone by then, hopefully I can get this started before I have to leave | 21:21 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, I'll be back in about an hour~ | 21:48 |
| * chris4585 pokes cyberanger | 23:24 | |
| orias | trying to get your data? | 23:45 |
| chris4585 | orias, yeah | 23:47 |
| orias | going to just use a live cd, then boot and copy? | 23:49 |
| chris4585 | well I already have the livecd running | 23:49 |
| orias | can you see the drives? (source/destination) | 23:50 |
| chris4585 | yep | 23:50 |
| orias | if so oyu should be able to drag and drop from one to another | 23:50 |
| orias | unless you need to *undelete* | 23:50 |
| chris4585 | orias, I'm not really sure what you're getting at | 23:51 |
| orias | what are you trying to accomplish? | 23:51 |
| orias | first :) | 23:51 |
| chris4585 | recover data that has been deleted | 23:52 |
| orias | ahh | 23:53 |
| orias | use the live cd | 23:53 |
| orias | to install the testdisk/photorec packages | 23:53 |
| orias | use photorec to scan the drive to recover what you deleted | 23:53 |
| orias | heres the awkward part | 23:53 |
| orias | it recovers *everything* ir- if you want to recover *.mp3 it will recover *every *.mp3 it can find | 23:54 |
| orias | and then give it a generic name/number | 23:54 |
| orias | like f121321 | 23:54 |
| orias | like f121321.mp3 | 23:54 |
| orias | :) | 23:54 |
| orias | youi need to go through the file types in the options and specify what you want, otherwise itll recover *everything* | 23:55 |
| orias | brb | 23:55 |
