[09:08] * inetpro looking for kilos [09:09] then again... I can wait for later [09:10] kilos is our resident data restore guru [09:11] * inetpro has a friend who accidentally formatted the wrong USB drive (FAT partition) [09:11] IIRC kilos used testdrive? [13:09] hello people [13:09] I was wondering if there's a way to locate a phone using the IMEI #? [13:09] yes, speak to your cellular operator [13:10] they can only blacklist it [13:10] no, they can also see which cell it's registered to [13:10] but what they can't do is tell you, because there's a bunch of laws regulating doing that [13:11] ok, thanx!!! [13:15] Interesting chat. [13:15] janeekyk.. [13:18] haha [14:11] eish [14:12] * inetpro just got a new corporate mecer notebook with stupid nvidia or something [14:13] superfly: is there a way to do the installation from live image before having the proprietary drivers installed? [14:14] inetpro: yes, the nv driver comes pre-installed [14:14] hmm... I get a funny screen [14:14] and nouvea too, I think [14:15] inetpro: funny screen? [14:15] blocks of white and black all over [14:15] haha [14:15] i had that with my dell e6410 [14:15] i used a spare monitor to install with [14:16] Morganvd: ahh, sounds like a workable idea [14:16] install with spare monitor and then install prop nvidia driver after install [14:16] usualy works fine like that [14:16] but I'm sure there is another way actually [14:17] you can also try installing wiht nomodeset [14:17] F4 advance option nomodeset off [14:18] Morganvd: ok, let me try that [14:19] Morganvd: nice... feeling better already [14:19] yep, that does the trick [14:19] haha just be aware after reboot it does it again [14:20] you need to set it in grub i believe [14:20] hmm... [14:21] marcog: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1722973 and every one else that cares [14:22] hi [14:22] drubin: i'll let you handle that, i've told you how we can help [14:22] marcog: will you ship them to other cities? [14:23] it is actually a blah problem to solve as it involves time and money to ship stuff [14:23] drubin: i told you we can get them to 6 universities outside of the cape area [14:23] yuk, size 800 x 600 [14:23] if we have contacts there, we can setup "official" collection points [14:23] marcog: honestly any one that has access to a university doesn't *need* cds [14:24] we are talking about people like kilos and others that aren't near univierities [14:24] inetpro: i would install the nvida prop drivers if i was you [14:24] i can't think of what to do in those cases [14:24] maybe ask canonical for shipping funding? [14:24] the opensource one does not play nice with some cards [14:24] Morganvd: will do [14:25] 1st I need proper permission to even format this thing [14:25] marcog: Maybe but can't dealw ith it now. sorry :( [14:25] bbl [14:25] was told that I'm not even allowed to install ubuntu on it [14:25] lol [14:26] even RMB let me install ubuntu [14:26] drubin: also, i personally am not sure significant effort is warrented for non-LTS releases [14:28] i can help get it mooved from prov to prov [14:32] i think you should find people in each province and from there people can distribute [15:43] marcog: yes but something we need to decied [16:49] decied?
