[00:20] <cyberanger> darn, I was linuxman410
[00:21] <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]  * cyberanger realizes he's talking to the wind
[00:22] <Unit193> It happens...
[00:23] <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
[00:25] <Unit193> Only car and it seems to like solid things...
[00:30] <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)
[00:31] <cyberanger> when I'm trying to land a job 16 miles away, in an area where public transit does not exist
[00:32] <Unit193> cyberanger: I was saying it's your only car. Things seem to happen at the most inconvenient times...
[00:33] <cyberanger> oh, yeah, exactly
[00:34] <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
[00:37] <Unit193> Did I ever point you to the very new openbox attempt?
[00:57] <cyberanger> idk
[00:57] <cyberanger> there always seems to be a new attempt
[01:25] <chris4585> lol true
[01:26] <cyberanger> Unit193: which one were you thinking about?
[01:27] <Unit193> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779564 :P (He's using it now, he just has to package it)
[01:31] <chris4585> openbox-desktop meta package actually sounds rather nice
[01:32] <Unit193> I hope he can get it running...
[01:32] <Unit193> ##openbox-desktop
[02:10] <linuxman410> cyberanger u here
[02:18] <Unit193> [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] <Unit193> [19:21:24] < cyberanger> it's gotta be fixed first
[02:23] <cyberanger> linuxman410: hey
[02:23] <linuxman410> i was going to tell cyberanger it sold
[02:23] <cyberanger> here
[02:24] <linuxman410> i thought u bought it
[02:24] <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)
[02:28] <cyberanger> linuxman410: good news for you though
[02:30] <linuxman410> understand
[03:34] <vychune> o/
[14:37] <vychune>  o/
[15:09] <Xpistos> hey err body
[15:09] <vychune> o/
[15:09] <vychune> err body?
[18:08] <Unit193> Howdy Xpistos , vychune
[18:08] <Xpistos> Hey Unit193
[21:05] <vychune> o/
[21:48] <Xpistos> anybody good with hardware issues. I have something I am pretty confident what is going on but I am not sure.
[22:16] <wrst> Xpistos: I have fixed hardware issues but to say that I'm good is probably an understatement
[22:16] <wrst> err over statement!
[22:31] <cyberanger> Xpistos: what's up?
[22:59] <Xpistos> I think I have a bad LCD inverter, but I replaced it with a "new" one and it is responding the same
[23:00] <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.
[23:01] <Xpistos> but I wanted to see if could be something else?
[23:01] <Xpistos> any ideas
[23:08] <cyberanger> Xpistos: only the backlight?
[23:09] <cyberanger> Xpistos: bad backlight in the lcd
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <Xpistos> then come up to say ubuntu on the second and cut out again after that.
[23:20] <cyberanger> Xpistos: could be the backlight itself, failing
[23:27] <Xpistos> if it is the backlight on the lcd then I would have to replace the entire lcd , crap
[23:28] <Xpistos> but if it was the backlight it wouldn't come up at though?
[23:38] <cyberanger> Xpistos: same if the inverter was outright gone
[23:39] <cyberanger> hence why I said failing, not failed
[23:40] <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
[23:43] <Xpistos> lol
[23:43] <Xpistos> well I told the guy i bought from to send me a replacement
[23:44] <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.
