| cyberanger | and that netbook will be bought when I get a chance, but if you get a great offer take it, the truck just failed | 00:21 |
| cyberanger | it's gotta be fixed first | 00:21 |

| Unit193 | It happens... | 00:22 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: yeah, wreaked a car in Oct. 2008, had another in December 2008, wreaked it in December 2009, no car till May 30th 2011 | 00:23 |
| cyberanger | and this, June 20th 2011, Happens a bit too much if you ask me | 00:23 |
| Unit193 | Only car and it seems to like solid things... | 00:25 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: I mean, yes it's only a car, just not a great timing for a radiator and battery failure (on top of a slow oil leak from last week) | 00:30 |
| cyberanger | when I'm trying to land a job 16 miles away, in an area where public transit does not exist | 00:31 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: I was saying it's your only car. Things seem to happen at the most inconvenient times... | 00:32 |
| cyberanger | oh, yeah, exactly | 00:33 |
| cyberanger | (the two wreaks had bad timing, hydroplane the first, fog plus black ice on a mountain road the 2nd) this isn't even a wreak, one usually learns his lessons from wreaks as a kid (18 & 19 then, kid applies) | 00:34 |
| cyberanger | it'll get to the shop in the morning, just not a great day for it, ugh | 00:34 |
| Unit193 | Did I ever point you to the very new openbox attempt? | 00:37 |
| cyberanger | idk | 00:57 |
| cyberanger | there always seems to be a new attempt | 00:57 |
| chris4585 | lol true | 01:25 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: which one were you thinking about? | 01:26 |
| Unit193 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779564 :P (He's using it now, he just has to package it) | 01:27 |
| chris4585 | openbox-desktop meta package actually sounds rather nice | 01:31 |
| Unit193 | I hope he can get it running... | 01:32 |

| cyberanger | here | 02:23 |

| cyberanger | Perfect, well, not for me, but enough happened today to make other things a more pressing concern | 02:24 |
| cyberanger | no, I didn't | 02:24 |
| cyberanger | truck broke down some today, paycheck can't buy any toys till that's up and running (so I can land the 2nd job I'm trying to get) | 02:24 |

| Unit193 | Howdy Xpistos , vychune | 18:08 |
| Xpistos | Hey Unit193 | 18:08 |
| vychune | o/ | 21:05 |
| Xpistos | anybody good with hardware issues. I have something I am pretty confident what is going on but I am not sure. | 21:48 |
| wrst | Xpistos: I have fixed hardware issues but to say that I'm good is probably an understatement | 22:16 |
| wrst | err over statement! | 22:16 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: what's up? | 22:31 |
| Xpistos | I think I have a bad LCD inverter, but I replaced it with a "new" one and it is responding the same | 22:59 |
| Xpistos | The LCD comes on for a few seconds and then goes out | 23:00 |
| Xpistos | I can see what is on the screen but no backlight | 23:00 |
| Xpistos | I think it is the LCD Inverter cause what else would do that? | 23:00 |
| Xpistos | I told the guy I bought it from the "new" inverter was not good, he should be sending me a new one. | 23:00 |
| Xpistos | but I wanted to see if could be something else? | 23:01 |
| Xpistos | any ideas | 23:01 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: only the backlight? | 23:08 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: bad backlight in the lcd | 23:09 |
| cyberanger | we get enough of those, could also be that | 23:10 |
| Xpistos | yes | 23:10 |
| Xpistos | only the light so I can actually read the screen | 23:10 |
| Xpistos | if I tilt it, i can make out the stuff on the screen but it is not illuminated. | 23:11 |
| Xpistos | and the back light will come on like 2 times during boot | 23:11 |
| Xpistos | the initial boot screen that says dell | 23:11 |
| Xpistos | and the splash that says ubuntu | 23:11 |
| Xpistos | but it iwll cut out after a few seconds on the first | 23:11 |
| Xpistos | then come up to say ubuntu on the second and cut out again after that. | 23:12 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: could be the backlight itself, failing | 23:20 |
| Xpistos | if it is the backlight on the lcd then I would have to replace the entire lcd , crap | 23:27 |
| Xpistos | but if it was the backlight it wouldn't come up at though? | 23:28 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: same if the inverter was outright gone | 23:38 |
| cyberanger | hence why I said failing, not failed | 23:39 |
| cyberanger | it's another possibility, and maybe it's a loose connection (seems unlikely) but I'd think that something is failing | 23:40 |
| cyberanger | two inverters vs one lcd, same problem | 23:40 |
| Xpistos | lol | 23:43 |
| Xpistos | well I told the guy i bought from to send me a replacement | 23:43 |
| Xpistos | if that doesn't work I will buy a new backligh which I had that real delicate work | 23:44 |
| Xpistos | I got to jam | 23:44 |
| Xpistos | I will hollar at youguys later. | 23:44 |
