[01:27] hey yall [03:00] what lovely weather we are having [03:02] your umbrella does NOT double as a lightning rod [03:11] looking at making a custom install disk now [03:12] followed by a live disc [03:12] if lightning weren't a concern, that is [11:26] cyberanger: I hope you survived the weather [14:16] Morning yal [14:16] wrst [14:16] morning Xpistos how goes things? [14:17] crappy as usual [14:17] So I must be aliv [14:17] Xpistos: cant be all bad [14:17] It's not just 95% [14:18] Need to change jobs [14:18] think upon the 5% :) [14:18] Just because I can do everything doesn't mean they need to expect me to do that [14:18] I have gone above and beyond for my company, but now they just expect me to do it all the time [14:18] and if you do everything the paycheck needs to reflect it! [14:19] well, i work for a non profit so.... [14:19] oh yeah... that's not likely then :\ [14:19] 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] 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] ha that will show 'em! [15:03] * cyberanger rolls out of his coffin [15:03] wrst: all seems well now [15:04] had to kick in the batteries, they held [15:06] thats good cyberanger sounds like you actually slept? [15:08] slept? [15:08] yeah, did [15:09] less than desired still [15:13] well its a start cyberanger :) [20:14] wrst: not a good one though [20:14] isn't any sleep good? [20:32] well I think ubuntu just destroyed my home :| [20:38] what chris4585??????????? [20:38] wrst, trying to upgrade from the CD was a bad idea for me at least... [20:39] I'm having some trouble locating where things from my /home went to... [20:39] oh your home directory, not your physical dwelling place :) [20:39] lol.. [20:39] hmm i've about just given up on upgrades [20:39] well it worked well on another computer... [20:40] 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] 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] actually some of the good music was spared... on this laptop, but I'm going to have to download multiple torrents again :'( [20:45] wrst: some extent, yes [20:46] chris4585: ouch [20:47] chris4585: I think you'll want to do that over cable next time, that is rather odd [20:47] cyberanger, yep... I'll have to wait, I had at least 2000+ songs downloaded from torrents that are now lost [20:48] that might not be ubuntu's fault [20:48] I blame the RIAA [20:48] lol har har [20:49] http://i.imgur.com/wEH0e.png [20:53] * cyberanger still blames the RIAA [20:53] what speed did you burn the disc at [20:53] ? [20:55] cyberanger, its from USB not using a CD [20:55] although I did it first from a CD... [20:55] hrm [20:55] the burn said it was successful [20:56] the burn to USB was successful, intresting [20:57] the burn to the CD said it was successful and the USB should be flawless [20:58] well, better odds, why not skip the cd burn and use the iso instead? [20:58] hey Xpistos [20:58] chris4585: a flawed read could have tripped it up [20:59] just seems an odd result anyways [21:00] cyberanger, think I can use a file recovery program? [21:02] are you ext3 or 4 [21:05] chris4585: your filesystem? [21:05] ext4 [21:06] cyberanger, got any suggestions? [21:07] got a working live disc and a seperate drive [21:08] if so, yes [21:08] yep, ubuntu 11.04 beta running live right now [21:09] separate drive? you mean partition? [21:10] no drive, want to recover, we need to pull files off drive a, and put them on drive b [21:10] or we may overwrite what we wish to save [21:12] cyberanger, oh I see, anyway I can do that with a external HDD then? and... does it have to be clean? [21:12] I have 2 externals, but both have files on them [21:12] yeah, external or network mount point [21:13] since we're aiming a files, not partitions, just enough free space will do [21:13] 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] cyberanger, I'm ready when you are [21:14] chris4585: that will be a little bit then, all thumbs now [21:14] 30 minutes? [21:15] cyberanger, thats fine [21:15] ok, ssh is nice, typing on a G2 has it's limits [21:18] heading back, be on in 30 [21:21] I might be gone by then, hopefully I can get this started before I have to leave [21:48] cyberanger, I'll be back in about an hour~ [23:24] * chris4585 pokes cyberanger [23:45] trying to get your data? [23:47] orias, yeah [23:49] going to just use a live cd, then boot and copy? [23:49] well I already have the livecd running [23:50] can you see the drives? (source/destination) [23:50] yep [23:50] if so oyu should be able to drag and drop from one to another [23:50] unless you need to *undelete* [23:51] orias, I'm not really sure what you're getting at [23:51] what are you trying to accomplish? [23:51] first :) [23:52] recover data that has been deleted [23:53] ahh [23:53] use the live cd [23:53] to install the testdisk/photorec packages [23:53] use photorec to scan the drive to recover what you deleted [23:53] heres the awkward part [23:54] it recovers *everything* ir- if you want to recover *.mp3 it will recover *every *.mp3 it can find [23:54] and then give it a generic name/number [23:54] like f121321 [23:54] like f121321.mp3 [23:54] :) [23:55] youi need to go through the file types in the options and specify what you want, otherwise itll recover *everything* [23:55] brb
