[01:27] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[03:00] <cyberanger> what lovely weather we are having
[03:02] <cyberanger> your umbrella does NOT double as a lightning rod
[03:11] <cyberanger> looking at making a custom install disk now
[03:12] <cyberanger> followed by a live disc
[03:12] <cyberanger> if lightning weren't a concern, that is
[11:26] <wrst> cyberanger: I hope you survived the weather
[14:16] <Xpistos> Morning yal
[14:16] <Xpistos> wrst
[14:16] <wrst> morning Xpistos how goes things?
[14:17] <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%
[14:18] <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!
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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.
[14:28] <wrst> ha that will show 'em!
[15:03]  * cyberanger rolls out of his coffin
[15:03] <cyberanger> wrst: all seems well now
[15:04] <cyberanger> had to kick in the batteries, they held
[15:06] <wrst> thats good cyberanger sounds like you actually slept?
[15:08] <cyberanger> slept?
[15:08] <cyberanger> yeah, did
[15:09] <cyberanger> less than desired still
[15:13] <wrst> well its a start cyberanger :)
[20:14] <cyberanger> wrst: not a good one though
[20:14] <wrst> isn't any sleep good?
[20:32] <chris4585> well I think ubuntu just destroyed my home :|
[20:38] <wrst> what chris4585???????????
[20:38] <chris4585> wrst, trying to upgrade from the CD was a bad idea for me at least...
[20:39] <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...
[20:40] <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..."
[20:42] <chris4585> actually some of the good music was spared... on this laptop, but I'm going to have to download multiple torrents again :'(
[20:45] <cyberanger> wrst: some extent, yes
[20:46] <cyberanger> chris4585: ouch
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <cyberanger> that might not be ubuntu's fault
[20:48] <cyberanger> I blame the RIAA
[20:48] <chris4585> lol har har
[20:49] <chris4585> http://i.imgur.com/wEH0e.png
[20:53]  * cyberanger still blames the RIAA
[20:53] <cyberanger> what speed did you burn the disc at
[20:53] <cyberanger> ?
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <cyberanger> the burn to USB was successful, intresting
[20:57] <chris4585> the burn to the CD said it was successful and the USB should be flawless
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <cyberanger> just seems an odd result anyways
[21:00] <chris4585> cyberanger, think I can use a file recovery program?
[21:02] <cyberanger> are you ext3 or 4
[21:05] <cyberanger> chris4585: your filesystem?
[21:05] <chris4585> ext4
[21:06] <chris4585> cyberanger, got any suggestions?
[21:07] <cyberanger> got a working live disc and a seperate drive
[21:08] <cyberanger> if so, yes
[21:08] <chris4585> yep, ubuntu 11.04 beta running live right now
[21:09] <chris4585> separate drive? you mean partition?
[21:10] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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?
[21:15] <chris4585> cyberanger, thats fine
[21:15] <cyberanger> ok, ssh is nice, typing on a G2 has it's limits
[21:18] <cyberanger> heading back, be on in 30
[21:21] <chris4585> I might be gone by then, hopefully I can get this started before I have to leave
[21:48] <chris4585> cyberanger, I'll be back in about an hour~
[23:24]  * chris4585 pokes cyberanger 
[23:45] <orias> trying to get your data?
[23:47] <chris4585> orias, yeah
[23:49] <orias> going to just use a live cd, then boot and copy?
[23:49] <chris4585> well I already have the livecd running
[23:50] <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*
[23:51] <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 :)
[23:52] <chris4585> recover data that has been deleted
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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> :)
[23:55] <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
