[00:11] today is officially the day of "it worked 5 minutes ago, why the heck isn't it working now" >.< [00:12] my flash drives were automounting earlier, now when I plug them in, nothing happens :/ [00:57] stupid storm, power went out a few times, reset my dang router again >.< [00:57] saving settings now [01:38] amish guy got arrested in indiana for sexting a 12 yr old girl.....weird [02:02] blargh.

[02:46] i was kinda mad when she told me that, but i was more releaved that it wasent anything else [02:47] yeah, sometimes stuff like that happens, you spend TONS of time troubleshooting, and it's something super simple [02:47] im going to put v-box with ubuntu in it for her tomorrw [02:47] tomorrow [02:48] :) [02:49] for some reason v-box will not let me put 11.04 in, i was wanting to see if i liked it befor i upgraded [02:50] you could just do the live boot [02:51] duh!!!!!1 i could i forgot to try that thanks [02:51] sure :) [02:51] sorry ive have long day [02:51] understandable [02:52] you have a facebook???? [02:52] yeah? [02:53] i just got a new tattoo,in between that and trying to get alli computer my brain is spent [02:53] look me up [02:53] andrew mattone [02:54] i just posted it [02:54] my tatt [02:54] ubuntu hour is next week right [02:54] right???? [02:55] yes [02:55] ok [02:55] I'm a "fan" of the ubuntu hour page, so you can find me on there if you want [02:55] and you can become a fan of tech hero :) [02:56] i already am [02:56] ah, ok :) [02:56] you saved my rear end more than opne [02:56] one [02:56] once [02:57] :) [02:58] happy to help [03:00] i need you and cole to show me how to do the dual partitions and thing like that,ive always been computer stupid, and since cole showed me ubuntu and put it in my computer,ive been wanting to learn more [03:01] sure, it's really not that hard, it's just about knowing how to start [03:01] we can take a look at ubuntu hour [03:01] i need to become more self sufficient [03:01] ok kool [03:02] i would love to do allis computer myself [03:02] if she lets me put ubuntu in [03:04] yeah, all you really need is a liveboot disk or usb [03:06] * canthus13 yawns. [03:08] ya i know that i just need to how to do the partitions, cole showed me, but it dident stick in my brain [03:10] im going to try 11.04 out ill probably be back on here in a little bit [03:10] see you later cheri [03:10] bye :) [03:10] byes [03:35] would someone explain to me how someone uses windows?!? I can't check the smart status of a disk ussing the OS> [03:35] hahahaha [03:35] that happened to me the other day [03:35] so true [03:35] fuck windows [03:36] srsly [03:36] The 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... [03:37] just live boot [03:37] and use the tools in ubuntu [03:40] That's how I had to salvage his files [03:40] 9.04 [03:41] Now I have to find drivers for this computer.... [03:42] :/ [03:43] It's a Dell. Won't take me too long [03:45] only thing I don' tknow is the wireless... [03:47] I would install Ubuntu, but dad would have a cow [03:49] Just add a Windows theme :P [03:49] I 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.. [03:50] jgould: Is dd the only way to make a LiveUSB in MacOS? [03:50] I *think* so. I did it once using Disk Utility, but I can't tell you how I did it [03:52] We couldn't find a way (And it didn't list the USB after hitting c on boot) [03:53] C won't give you a list [03:53] You need to hold opt [03:53] C gave boot options [03:53] But I don't have a new mac [03:54] C should have booted from a CD. Option lists all bootable devices [03:54] * Unit193 could be remembering wrong... [03:55] But either way, it didn't like it [03:55] Thats the way it's been on every intel mac since 2006 [03:55] my brand new MBP won't boot off of a thumb drive [03:56] That be crap [03:57] Unless I'm not creating it right, it can't see it [03:58] fucking winodws [03:59] it's pretty sad when I have to use a diffrent operating system to find out what hardware I'm dealing with... [04:00] * skellat wanders off to continue system repairs [04:00] I'm going to repair this system by throwing it through a window [04:02] Just open the window first. [04:02] then I won't have to worry about drivers [04:02] :D [04:02] Drivers? Like a 9 iron? [04:02] my client's computer is progressing nicely, it's mostly done, just working on the chkdsk [04:03] it took FOREVER to get around the stupid fake AV [04:03] usually going to safe mode circumvents it, but not so much with this one [04:03] Heh. hope it doesn't come back... I had one that would pretend to be gone for a few days.. then it would come back. [04:04] When 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' [04:05] and for some reason, Natty won't boot on this machine... [04:05] canthus13: this one should be fully gone, I went at it pretty hard...we'll see though [04:05] jgould: partition find and mount is pretty awesome [04:05] google that phrase [04:06] There are some great LiveCDs for virus scanning [04:06] * Unit193 pulled a very long CAT5 today... [04:07] Cheri703: I already wiped the drive and reinstalled. [04:07] ah, ok, nvm [04:07] Unit193: did you get that job? [04:07] Cheri703: Don't know yet [04:07] ah, k [04:07] good luck :) [04:08] I'm going to need some more coffee... [04:17] Why does windows have to be difficult? [04:20] Also, for the record: IE sucks [04:23] A blue screen while installing video drivers?!?! [04:27] I'm beginning to suspect a problem... [04:40] "Because of the shorter development cycle, Mozilla called out relatively few new features in Firefox 5" Idiots... [04:43] I heard that they were trying to get to FF 7 by the end of the year? [04:49] They are trying to get 4.6 by the end of the year... [04:49] Maybe FF5 [04:58] Anyone else see this? http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2011-June/081607.html [05:01] I know it's old (see the next msg), but does it still work? [14:33] Morning Ohio [14:37] morning thafreak [14:37] Mornin dmcglone [14:38] what ya up to this fine morning? [14:40] more working with mediawiki [14:40] what about you? [14:41] so far I've just been sitting here drinking coffee and reading the news. [14:43] nice [14:44] that's how mornings should start [14:44] absolutely :-) [14:48] anybody use dropbox? [14:48] just got email from silicon mechanics advertising new servers...they got quad socket xeons now...geez [14:48] I sort of want to use dropbox....but I tend to avoid proprietary solutions...I tend to prefer to run my own [14:49] http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=821 [14:49] I use Ubuntu One [14:50] quad, six core cpus, with hyper threading...geez...in 1U...pottentially 64 virtual cpu's for a virtualization server [14:50] Cool :-) [14:51] yet another reason, if I did use it, I'd add an ecryption layer to it :) [14:52] I think canthus13 uses dropbox. Wonder if he noticed this one? [14:54] i did successfully test using encfs on top of ubuntu one....it'd probably work for dropbox too [14:54] so even if some one did access my account, all they could get would be encrypted files [14:54] true [14:55] I don't store anything on U1, I just use it for temporary stuff. sorta like pastebin [15:17] hola folks [15:53] Noticed what? [15:53] that your shoes are untied [15:53] thafreak: Probably... I'm not wearing them right now. [15:53] canthus13: as long as you have pants on, it's cool [15:54] Not for long... :) [15:54] pantsareoverrated.com [15:54] Wow. nice, fast fix on that dropbox issue. [16:00] anyone know their car parts? [16:01] A bit. [16:01] what's up with firefox? We've barely gotten FF4.. now 5 is out. [16:01] whats the name of the grease boot that is on the arm that connects the wheel to the vehicle? [16:02] it's next to the ball joints [16:02] Hmm... Is it at the end of the CV joint? [16:03] that might be it [16:03] CV shaft boot, probably. [16:03] it connects to the roter and is threaded [16:04] thats it [16:04] CV shaft [16:04] No [16:04] thats not it [16:04] CV shaft isn't threaded... control arms are, though, I think. [16:04] CV shaft has teeth. [16:05] looking 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. [16:06] Control arm... not sure what the exact part is called, though. [16:06] just looked up the control arm, not it either [16:07] * canthus13 grabs his chilton manual. [16:08] what 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 indipendently [16:08] Oh. Sway bar/stabilizer. [16:11] the 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 aligned [16:11] Hmm... [16:12] Dunno then... [16:13] I'm googling steering parts, because I have a hunch it's part of the steering [16:16] Ok It just may be the sway bar [16:17] There really isn't much else it could be.. the main components are the control arms, sway bar, and CV shafts. [16:17] I'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 yet [16:19] In the video I see the part i'm looking for, but not the part he's working on [16:32] canthus looks like the tie rod [16:34] tie rod end to be exact [16:36] google is your friend :-) [16:37] yup, thats it. and the piece it threads into is the adjusting sleeve [16:38] I 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 :-/ [17:05] \o/ http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2011/06/22/from-sean-connery-to-steve-jobs-get-lost/ [17:12] that is awesome [17:12] besides, he was probably too busy hitting his wife to do a commercial anyway :) [17:13] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FgMLROTqJ0 [17:53] Cheri703: thanks, I liked seeing that letter [17:53] :) [17:56] Do we know who yort is? [17:58] he's in cinci [17:58] This is great! http://bash.org/?258908 [17:58] (I could figure that part out...) [18:19] I wonder if that is real Unit193 [18:19] Cheri703: Prlly someone who took note of his hostname and decided to screw with him. [18:20] entirely possible [18:20] Sounds like something I'd do... [18:21] Either way, it's funny... [18:27] http://www.hockeyforum.com/hockeyforum-chit-chat/26488-good-ol-irc.html [18:59] hey [18:59] got a question [18:59] have a windows machine with a ata data card [18:59] it's not your typical ide stuff [19:00] I 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 copy [19:00] ok [19:00] I'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 drive [19:01] live boot with ubuntu probably [19:01] I can't hook it up to a normal ide drive and I have no mobo's that supprot ata [19:01] serously? [19:01] well, maybe [19:01] I've done it where I could live boot and then access the drive [19:01] does ubuntu reconize things like hardrive or external deviced? [19:02] devices* [19:02] also check this out http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ [19:02] yeah [19:02] oo what's this I'm a noob >_> [19:02] I wish th hd wasn;'t ata though [19:02] it sucks [19:04] popman: start with a live boot, either cd or usb, just see if it will acknowledge that that partition/hdd exists [19:04] go from there [19:04] good idea [19:04] I'll do live cd [19:05] well the winblows cd doesn't reconzie my stuff as windows maybe I'll have betetr luck with this [19:06] worth a shot [19:09] text expansion is sweet! [19:18] oo [19:18] I'll stick the the live cd LOl i suck D: [19:19] popman: where in ohio are you? [19:20] In Columbus [19:21] ah, ok [19:21] yup yup :D [19:21] god can't ebleive winblows failed haha [19:21] actually I was messing with the winregistry trying to get rid of spyware [19:22] can you just call it windows? [19:22] yes [19:22] :D [19:22] you didn't back up the registry? [19:22] (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] it wouldn't of mattered though [19:23] feel free to say it sucks if it does, just saying, as a general thing, better to call it by its name :) [19:23] yeah? that bad? [19:23] I would of been upset with a linux os if crashed on me >_> but I totally understand :) [19:23] Awesome! Apple continues their illegal attempt to trademark dictionary words, sends cease&desist to F/OSS Start-Up Amahi. [19:24] yeah BiosElement, saw that...crazy [19:24] popman: Can you boot from an install desk? If you can, you may be able to do a repair install [19:24] well 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 annoying [19:24] Launchpad should do that to them? ;) [19:25] 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 screen [19:25] it will load windows but once it actually loads to the desktop it blue screens me [19:26] I ran a win repair cd it doesn't reconioze the os as windows at all [19:26] I take it you already did the repair install? (You don't really need to copy my msg) [19:26] it doesn't know what it is [19:26] ah ok :D [19:26] Fun times! Do you know what gparted calls it? [19:26] Cheri703: Feel free to jump back in at any time :P [19:27] :) [19:27] it call it a unknown [19:27] if that's what you mean? [19:27] From a linuix LiveCD (Partition manager) [19:27] I'm getting ready to go somewhere, I'll check back in here and there as I do so [19:27] ah ok let me do tht havn't do anything yet I'm a noob with that ?+? [19:28] >_>* [19:28] I'm gonig to setup the computer again [19:28] Might want to look at testdisk [19:30] LOL Cheri703 this is awesome [19:30] http://www.amahi.org/ Refresh a few times and watch the link to the right of Features in the menu [19:33] alright guys, I'm headed out. have a good afternoon [19:34] I think the hd is fine it's win that's messed up =P [19:35] more importantly something with the boot loader on it [19:35] idk =P [19:36] ok i'll do testdisk first [19:37] gotta write this irc chan down somewhere [19:39] popman: Check what filesystem gparted says it has! [19:40] on the live cd? [19:40] Yep! Ubuntu CD? [19:40] still buring it [19:40] burning* [19:40] Eh... Ubuntu 11.04? [19:41] yes [19:51] yup that worked [20:10] wow seems to be working [20:10] I'm going to do a reformate after that =P [20:12] testdisk somtimes can fix partition errors... [20:12] +sometimes [20:12] o [20:12] maybe I should run that? [20:15] It's not the most easy program to use, but it may help [20:19] ah ok [21:26] canthus13: Have you seen Conky Lunatico Rings? [22:06] phew [22:16] 111 degrees [22:16] * Oda spontaneously combusts [22:43] Cheri703: If you are around, wanna make 12bux an our doing mobile websites? All you need is basic HTML knowledge. [22:44] or any other Mansfield area peeps. [22:44] SkrappJaw: I think she may be gone... [22:44] sok. [22:44] She'll pick it up later. [22:44] Yep :) [22:44] Do you do HTML? [22:45] I've done some [22:45] My sax player is a geek and is starting an "HTML Farm". Just need to write up basic mobile versions of websites. [23:52] Unit193: Never heard of it.
