jgouldwould someone explain to me how someone uses windows?!?  I can't check the smart status of a disk ussing the OS>03:35
paultaghahahaha03:35
paultagthat happened to me the other day03:35
paultagso true03:35
paultagfuck windows03:35
deejoesrsly03:36
jgouldThe Partition table on dad's laptop went belly up...  I don't really know the status of his drive.  I don't know if this thing is just going to go belly up...03:36
Cheri703just live boot03:37
Cheri703and use the tools in ubuntu03:37
jgouldThat's how I had to salvage his files03:40
jgould9.0403:40
jgouldNow I have to find drivers for this computer....03:41
Cheri703:/03:42
jgouldIt's a Dell.  Won't take me too long03:43
jgouldonly thing I don' tknow is the wireless...03:45
jgouldI would install Ubuntu, but dad would have a cow03:47
Unit193Just add a Windows theme :P03:49
jgouldI can't beleive that I still have to install drivers one at a time in windows.  why can't mgrs create a program that looks at the hardware, and gets the drivers in one hit..03:49
Unit193jgould: Is dd the only way to make a LiveUSB in MacOS?03:50
jgouldI *think* so.  I did it once using Disk Utility, but I can't tell you how I did it03:50
Unit193We couldn't find a way (And it didn't list the USB after hitting c on boot)03:52
jgouldC won't give you a list03:53
jgouldYou need to hold opt03:53
Unit193C gave boot options03:53
Unit193But I don't have a new mac03:53
jgouldC should have booted from a CD.  Option lists all bootable devices03:54
* Unit193 could be remembering wrong...03:54
Unit193But either way, it didn't like it03:55
jgouldThats the way it's been on every intel mac since 200603:55
jgouldmy brand new MBP won't boot off of a thumb drive03:55
Unit193That be crap03:56
jgouldUnless I'm not creating it right, it can't see it03:57
jgouldfucking winodws03:58
jgouldit's pretty sad when I have to use a diffrent operating system to find out what hardware I'm dealing with...03:59
* skellat wanders off to continue system repairs04:00
jgouldI'm going to repair this system by throwing it through a window04:00
canthus13Just open the window first.04:02
jgouldthen I won't have to worry about drivers04:02
jgould:D04:02
canthus13Drivers? Like a 9 iron?04:02
Cheri703my client's computer is progressing nicely, it's mostly done, just working on the chkdsk04:02
Cheri703it took FOREVER to get around the stupid fake AV04:03
Cheri703usually going to safe mode circumvents it, but not so much with this one04:03
canthus13Heh. hope it doesn't come back... I had one that would pretend to be gone for a few days.. then it would come back.04:03
jgouldWhen I started this, the only thing that could tell me what the partition on teh drive was, was Ubuntu.  Windows called it an 'unknown partition'04:04
jgouldand for some reason, Natty won't boot on this machine...04:05
Cheri703canthus13: this one should be fully gone, I went at it pretty hard...we'll see though04:05
Cheri703jgould: partition find and mount is pretty awesome04:05
Cheri703google that phrase04:05
Unit193There are some great LiveCDs for virus scanning04:06
* Unit193 pulled a very long CAT5 today...04:06
jgouldCheri703: I already wiped the drive and reinstalled.04:07
Cheri703ah, ok, nvm04:07
Cheri703Unit193: did you get that job?04:07
Unit193Cheri703: Don't know yet04:07
Cheri703ah, k04:07
Cheri703good luck :)04:07
jgouldI'm going to need some more coffee...04:08
jgouldWhy does windows have to be difficult?04:17
jgouldAlso, for the record: IE sucks04:20
jgouldA blue screen while installing video drivers?!?!04:23
jgouldI'm beginning to suspect a problem...04:27
Unit193"Because of the shorter development cycle, Mozilla called out relatively few new features in Firefox 5" Idiots...04:40
jgouldI heard that they were trying to get to FF 7 by the end of the year?04:43
Unit193They are trying to get 4.6 by the end of the year...04:49
Unit193Maybe FF504:49
Unit193Anyone else see this? http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2011-June/081607.html04:58
Unit193I know it's old (see the next msg), but does it still work?05:01
thafreakMorning Ohio14:33
dmcglonemorning thafreak14:37
thafreakMornin dmcglone14:37
dmcglonewhat ya up to this fine morning?14:38
thafreakmore working with mediawiki14:40
thafreakwhat about you?14:40
dmcgloneso far I've just been sitting here drinking coffee and reading the news.14:41
thafreaknice14:43
thafreakthat's how mornings should start14:44
dmcgloneabsolutely :-)14:44
dmcgloneanybody use dropbox?14:48
thafreakjust got email from silicon mechanics advertising new servers...they got quad socket xeons now...geez14:48
thafreakI sort of want to use dropbox....but I tend to avoid proprietary solutions...I tend to prefer to run my own14:48
dmcglonehttp://blog.dropbox.com/?p=82114:49
dmcgloneI use Ubuntu One14:49
thafreakquad, six core cpus, with hyper threading...geez...in 1U...pottentially 64 virtual cpu's for a virtualization server14:50
dmcgloneCool :-)14:50
thafreakyet another reason, if I did use it, I'd add an ecryption layer to it :)14:51
dmcgloneI think canthus13 uses dropbox. Wonder if he noticed this one?14:52
thafreaki did successfully test using encfs on top of ubuntu one....it'd probably work for dropbox too14:54
thafreakso even if some one did access my account, all they could get would be encrypted files14:54
dmcglonetrue14:54
dmcgloneI don't store anything on U1, I just use it for temporary stuff. sorta like pastebin14:55
Cheri703hola folks15:17
canthus13Noticed what?15:53
thafreakthat your shoes are untied15:53
canthus13thafreak: Probably... I'm not wearing them right now.15:53
thafreakcanthus13: as long as you have pants on, it's cool15:53
canthus13Not for long... :)15:54
canthus13pantsareoverrated.com15:54
canthus13Wow. nice, fast fix on that dropbox issue.15:54
dmcgloneanyone know their car parts?16:00
canthus13A bit.16:01
canthus13what's up with firefox? We've barely gotten FF4.. now 5 is out.16:01
dmcglonewhats the name of the grease boot that is on the arm that connects the wheel to the vehicle?16:01
dmcgloneit's next to the ball joints16:02
canthus13Hmm... Is it at the end of the CV joint?16:02
dmcglonethat might be it16:03
canthus13CV shaft boot, probably.16:03
dmcgloneit connects to the roter and is threaded16:03
dmcglonethats it16:04
dmcgloneCV shaft16:04
dmcgloneNo16:04
dmcglonethats not it16:04
canthus13CV shaft isn't threaded... control arms are, though, I think.16:04
canthus13CV shaft has teeth.16:04
dmcglonelooking at the picture the CV shaft holds the entire wheel on. the one I'm referring to seems to connect to the steering arm from the wheel assembly.16:05
canthus13Control arm... not sure what the exact part is called, though.16:06
dmcglonejust looked up the control arm, not it either16:06
* canthus13 grabs his chilton manual.16:07
dmcglonewhat I'm looking for is just a thin rod that connects directly in front of the ball joints, but only connects to the wheel assembly indipendently16:08
canthus13Oh.  Sway bar/stabilizer.16:08
dmcglonethe sway bar looks close, but doesn't look like what I need, because the one I need has threads on it. Looks like it's adjustable so the wheels can be aligned16:11
canthus13Hmm...16:11
canthus13Dunno then...16:12
dmcgloneI'm googling steering parts, because I have a hunch it's part of the steering16:13
dmcgloneOk It just may be the sway bar16:16
canthus13There really isn't much else it could be.. the main components are the control arms, sway bar, and CV shafts.16:17
dmcgloneI'm watching a youtube video on how to install a sway bar, but haven't figured out if it's the part i'm looking for yet16:17
dmcgloneIn the video I see the part i'm looking for, but not the part he's working on16:19
dmcglonecanthus looks like the tie rod16:32
dmcglonetie rod end to be exact16:34
dmcglonegoogle is your friend :-)16:36
dmcgloneyup, thats it. and the piece it threads into is the adjusting sleeve16:37
dmcgloneI was going to go pick me up one but when I went out there to double check what the part looked like, I discovered my battery is dead for some odd reason :-/16:38

Cheri703he's in cinci17:58
Unit193This is great! http://bash.org/?25890817:58
Unit193(I could figure that part out...)17:58
Cheri703I wonder if that is real Unit19318:19
canthus13Cheri703: Prlly someone who took note of his hostname and decided to screw with him.18:19
Cheri703entirely possible18:20
canthus13Sounds like something I'd do...18:20
Unit193Either way, it's funny...18:21

popmanhey18:59
popmangot a question18:59
popmanhave a windows machine with a ata data card18:59
popmanit's not your typical ide stuff18:59
popmanI recently had problem with the computer when windows was isntalled but got corrupted to the extent it won't boot not will the windows cd reconize it as a windows copy19:00
Cheri703ok19:00
popmanI'm wondering if their is a way to extract data off this drive possibly using a os to do ti that would reconize data on the drive19:00
Cheri703live boot with ubuntu probably19:01
popmanI can't hook it up to a normal ide drive and I have no mobo's that supprot ata19:01
popmanserously?19:01
Cheri703well, maybe19:01
Cheri703I've done it where I could live boot and then access the drive19:01
popmandoes ubuntu reconize things like hardrive or external deviced?19:01
popmandevices*19:02
Cheri703also check this out http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/19:02
Cheri703yeah19:02
popmanoo what's this I'm a noob >_>19:02
popmanI wish th hd wasn;'t ata though19:02
popmanit sucks19:02
Cheri703popman: start with a live boot, either cd or usb, just see if it will acknowledge that that partition/hdd exists19:04
Cheri703go from there19:04
popmangood idea19:04
popmanI'll do live cd19:04
popmanwell the winblows cd doesn't reconzie my stuff as windows maybe I'll have betetr luck with this19:05
Cheri703worth a shot19:06
Cheri703text expansion is sweet!19:09
popmanoo19:18
popmanI'll stick the the live cd LOl i suck D:19:18
Cheri703popman: where in ohio are you?19:19
popmanIn Columbus19:20
Cheri703ah, ok19:21
popmanyup yup :D19:21
popmangod can't ebleive winblows failed haha19:21
popmanactually I was messing with the winregistry trying to get rid of spyware19:21
Cheri703can you just call it windows?19:22
popmanyes19:22
popman:D19:22
Cheri703you didn't back up the registry?19:22
Cheri703(we try not to discriminate against other OSs in here, so calling it M$ or winblows or whatever else is derogatory and such) :)19:22
popmanit wouldn't of mattered though19:22
Cheri703feel free to say it sucks if it does, just saying, as a general thing, better to call it by its name :)19:23
Cheri703yeah? that bad?19:23
popmanI would of been upset with a linux os if crashed on me >_> but I totally understand :)19:23
BiosElementAwesome! Apple continues their illegal attempt to trademark dictionary words, sends cease&desist to F/OSS Start-Up Amahi.19:23
Cheri703yeah BiosElement, saw that...crazy19:24
Unit193popman: Can you boot from an install desk? If you can, you may be able to do a repair install19:24
popmanwell I figure if someone has a reason for calling it such he or she must atleast have sometype of dialogue. To me if they say winblows or macblow with no dialogue then that's annoying19:24
Unit193Launchpad should do that to them? ;)19:24
popman<Unit193>popman: Can you boot from an install desk? If you can, you may be able to do a repair install <-- nope can't boot gives me blue screen19:25
popmanit will load windows but once it actually loads to the desktop it blue screens me19:25
popmanI ran a win repair cd it doesn't reconioze the os as windows at all19:26
Unit193I take it you already did the repair install? (You don't really need to copy my msg)19:26
popmanit doesn't know what it is19:26
popmanah ok :D19:26
Unit193Fun times! Do you know what gparted calls it?19:26
Unit193Cheri703: Feel free to jump back in at any time :P19:26

popmanif that's what you mean?19:27
Unit193From a linuix LiveCD (Partition manager)19:27
Cheri703I'm getting ready to go somewhere, I'll check back in here and there as I do so19:27
popmanah ok let me do tht havn't do anything yet I'm a noob with that ?+?19:27
popman>_>*19:28
popmanI'm gonig to setup the computer again19:28
Unit193Might want to look at testdisk19:28
BiosElementLOL  Cheri703 this is awesome19:30
BiosElementhttp://www.amahi.org/ Refresh a few times and watch the link to the right of Features in the menu19:30
Cheri703alright guys, I'm headed out. have a good afternoon19:33
