[00:20] darn, I was linuxman410 [00:21] 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] it's gotta be fixed first [00:21] * cyberanger realizes he's talking to the wind [00:22] It happens... [00:23] 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] and this, June 20th 2011, Happens a bit too much if you ask me [00:25] Only car and it seems to like solid things... [00:30] 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) [00:31] when I'm trying to land a job 16 miles away, in an area where public transit does not exist [00:32] cyberanger: I was saying it's your only car. Things seem to happen at the most inconvenient times... [00:33] oh, yeah, exactly [00:34] (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] it'll get to the shop in the morning, just not a great day for it, ugh [00:37] Did I ever point you to the very new openbox attempt? [00:57] idk [00:57] there always seems to be a new attempt [01:25] lol true [01:26] Unit193: which one were you thinking about? [01:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779564 :P (He's using it now, he just has to package it) [01:31] openbox-desktop meta package actually sounds rather nice [01:32] I hope he can get it running... [01:32] ##openbox-desktop [02:10] cyberanger u here [02:18] [19:21:17] < 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 [02:18] [19:21:24] < cyberanger> it's gotta be fixed first [02:23] linuxman410: hey [02:23] i was going to tell cyberanger it sold [02:23] here [02:24] i thought u bought it [02:24] Perfect, well, not for me, but enough happened today to make other things a more pressing concern [02:24] no, I didn't [02:24] 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) [02:28] linuxman410: good news for you though [02:30] understand === Unit193_ is now known as Unit193 [03:34] o/ [14:37] o/ [15:09] hey err body [15:09] o/ [15:09] err body? [18:08] Howdy Xpistos , vychune [18:08] Hey Unit193 [21:05] o/ [21:48] anybody good with hardware issues. I have something I am pretty confident what is going on but I am not sure. [22:16] Xpistos: I have fixed hardware issues but to say that I'm good is probably an understatement [22:16] err over statement! [22:31] Xpistos: what's up? [22:59] I think I have a bad LCD inverter, but I replaced it with a "new" one and it is responding the same [23:00] The LCD comes on for a few seconds and then goes out [23:00] I can see what is on the screen but no backlight [23:00] I think it is the LCD Inverter cause what else would do that? [23:00] I told the guy I bought it from the "new" inverter was not good, he should be sending me a new one. [23:01] but I wanted to see if could be something else? [23:01] any ideas [23:08] Xpistos: only the backlight? [23:09] Xpistos: bad backlight in the lcd [23:10] we get enough of those, could also be that [23:10] yes [23:10] only the light so I can actually read the screen [23:11] if I tilt it, i can make out the stuff on the screen but it is not illuminated. [23:11] and the back light will come on like 2 times during boot [23:11] the initial boot screen that says dell [23:11] and the splash that says ubuntu [23:11] but it iwll cut out after a few seconds on the first [23:12] then come up to say ubuntu on the second and cut out again after that. [23:20] Xpistos: could be the backlight itself, failing [23:27] if it is the backlight on the lcd then I would have to replace the entire lcd , crap [23:28] but if it was the backlight it wouldn't come up at though? [23:38] Xpistos: same if the inverter was outright gone [23:39] hence why I said failing, not failed [23:40] it's another possibility, and maybe it's a loose connection (seems unlikely) but I'd think that something is failing [23:40] two inverters vs one lcd, same problem [23:43] lol [23:43] well I told the guy i bought from to send me a replacement [23:44] if that doesn't work I will buy a new backligh which I had that real delicate work [23:44] I got to jam [23:44] I will hollar at youguys later.
