[06:16] <totimkopf> hallo almal
[06:33] <superfly> môre
[07:29] <inetpro> squ[tab]: I'm here
[07:29] <inetpro> good morning
[07:33] <sakhi> hi superfly inetpro 
[07:33] <sakhi> moonin
[07:36] <superfly> hey inetpro and sakhi
[08:24] <nuvolari> mornings people :>
[09:08] <inetpro> hmm...
[09:08]  * inetpro looking for kilos
[09:09] <inetpro> then again... I can wait for later
[09:10] <inetpro> kilos is our resident data restore guru
[09:11]  * inetpro has a friend who accidentally formatted the wrong USB drive (FAT partition)
[09:11] <inetpro> IIRC kilos used testdrive?
[13:09] <Lunga> hello people
[13:09] <Lunga> I was wondering if there's a way to locate a phone using the IMEI #?
[13:09] <froztbyte> yes, speak to your cellular operator
[13:10] <Lunga> they can only blacklist it
[13:10] <froztbyte> no, they can also see which cell it's registered to
[13:10] <froztbyte> but what they can't do is tell you, because there's a bunch of laws regulating doing that
[13:11] <Lunga> ok, thanx!!!
[13:15] <cocooncrash> Interesting chat.
[13:15] <froztbyte> janeekyk..
[13:18] <superfly> haha
[14:11] <inetpro> eish
[14:12]  * inetpro just got a new corporate mecer notebook with stupid nvidia or something
[14:13] <inetpro> superfly: is there a way to do the installation from live image before having the proprietary drivers installed?
[14:14] <superfly> inetpro: yes, the nv driver comes pre-installed
[14:14] <inetpro> hmm... I get a funny screen
[14:14] <superfly> and nouvea too, I think
[14:15] <superfly> inetpro: funny screen?
[14:15] <inetpro> blocks of white and black all over
[14:15] <Morganvd> haha
[14:15] <Morganvd> i had that with my dell e6410
[14:15] <Morganvd> i used a spare monitor to install with
[14:16] <inetpro> Morganvd: ahh, sounds like a workable idea
[14:16] <Morganvd> install with spare monitor and then install prop nvidia driver after install
[14:16] <Morganvd> usualy works fine like that
[14:16] <inetpro> but I'm sure there is another way actually
[14:17] <Morganvd> you can also try installing wiht nomodeset
[14:17] <Morganvd> F4 advance option nomodeset off 
[14:18] <inetpro> Morganvd: ok, let me try that
[14:19] <inetpro> Morganvd: nice... feeling better already
[14:19] <inetpro> yep, that does the trick
[14:19] <Morganvd> haha just be aware after reboot it does it again
[14:20] <Morganvd> you need to set it in grub i believe
[14:20] <inetpro> hmm...
[14:21] <drubin> marcog: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1722973 and every one else that cares
[14:22] <Squirm> hi
[14:22] <marcog> drubin: i'll let you handle that, i've told you how we can help
[14:22] <drubin> marcog: will you ship them to other cities?
[14:23] <drubin> it is actually a blah problem to solve as it involves time and money to ship stuff
[14:23] <marcog> drubin: i told you we can get them to 6 universities outside of the cape area
[14:23] <inetpro> yuk, size 800 x 600
[14:23] <marcog> if we have contacts there, we can setup "official" collection points
[14:23] <drubin> marcog: honestly any one that has access to a university doesn't *need* cds
[14:24] <drubin> we are talking about people like kilos and others that aren't near univierities 
[14:24] <Morganvd> inetpro: i would install the nvida prop drivers if i was you
[14:24] <marcog> i can't think of what to do in those cases
[14:24] <marcog> maybe ask canonical for shipping funding?
[14:24] <Morganvd> the opensource one does not play nice with some cards
[14:24] <inetpro> Morganvd: will do
[14:25] <inetpro> 1st I need proper permission to even format this thing
[14:25] <drubin> marcog: Maybe but can't dealw ith it now. sorry :(
[14:25] <drubin> bbl
[14:25] <inetpro> was told that I'm not even allowed to install ubuntu on it
[14:25] <Morganvd> lol
[14:26] <Morganvd> even RMB let me install ubuntu
[14:26] <marcog> drubin: also, i personally am not sure significant effort is warrented for non-LTS releases
[14:28] <Morganvd> i can help get it mooved from prov to prov
[14:32] <Morganvd> i think you should find people in each province and from there people can distribute
[15:43] <drubin> marcog: yes but something we need to decied 
[16:49] <superfly> decied?
[16:58] <nuvolari> Maaz: ping
[16:58] <Maaz> nuvolari: pong
[17:02]  * nlsthzn lurks
[17:03] <drubin> decided* that is hardly  my worst typo :)
[18:22] <Morganvd> evening all
[18:35] <superfly> morning!
[18:57] <Morganvd> hey superfly
[21:26] <inetpro> good evening
