BiosElement | Verizion sucks | 00:51 |
BiosElement | $10 bucks for 75MB | 00:51 |
BiosElement | You've gotta be kidding me. | 00:51 |
BiosElement | Oh Oh, and even if you buy a more expensive plan, it's 10 bucks a gig overage | 00:51 |
Cheri703 | yeah BiosElement, that's why I heart sprint, unlimited data ftw | 01:23 |
* jgould frowns | 02:05 | |
jgould | Hmm... Google Latitude is acting funny. It's telling me that a friend is in Columbus, At the Treminal, but her partner, who is in the same truck is near Toledo | 02:07 |
jgould | Any one know why I can boot 9.04 on this lappy, but not anything newer? | 02:09 |
Cheri703 | jgould: hardware? | 02:28 |
Cheri703 | also, latitude was always weird | 02:29 |
Cheri703 | jgould: I had an old server that would boot 10.04, but after install, wouldn't acknowledge its existence, but I installed 6.06, then upgraded each lts til 10.04 and it booted and ran 10.04 happily | 02:30 |
Cheri703 | something about the hardware wouldn't take the newer install methods properly | 02:31 |
jgould | This has been the first time where I couldn't get the system to boot uing a disk. I've booted but had the drivers for the hardware not be there... | 02:41 |
jgould | I'm starting at 9.04 and working my way up until I get to something that will give me SMART status on the primary disk | 02:42 |
Cheri703 | couldn't you just put the disk in another machine? | 02:43 |
Cheri703 | as a slave or whatever/ | 02:43 |
Cheri703 | ? | 02:43 |
Cheri703 | wouldn't that be faster/easier? | 02:44 |
jgould | I don't have the equipment. It's a PATA drive and I had an enclousre at one point... (This is a laptop) | 02:44 |
Cheri703 | ah, ok | 02:44 |
jgould | Dad sent me a text message today: "Is the Dell in hospice?" | 02:45 |
Cheri703 | if you can wait til tomorrow, you could hit microcenter and get this: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0285941 | 02:45 |
Cheri703 | I have one, they're wonderful | 02:45 |
Cheri703 | and cheap | 02:45 |
jgould | Right now it would need to be free cheap | 02:47 |
Cheri703 | well, I guess if installing and installing and installing is preferable to $13, then go for it :) I've had projects like that, where I have the time, but not the money | 02:48 |
jgould | I'm about to install this laptop out the window... | 02:49 |
Cheri703 | hehe | 02:49 |
jgould | Only peice of hardware this thing doesn't see is the wireless card. But it's a Broadcom 4306... I think htat's in teh STA | 02:56 |
canthus13 | jgould: 4306? | 03:57 |
canthus13 | That's a crappy card. STA doesn't support it, and the bcm driver doesn't do it very well. :/ | 03:57 |
canthus13 | My kid's laptop has that chipset.. It's great for cracking wep, but it can't maintain a connection for 5 minutes without freezing. | 03:57 |
jgould | I thought you said it was a creepy card | 03:58 |
* jgould blinks | 04:06 | |
jgould | SMART is not available. What the hell does that mean? | 04:06 |
jgould | Does that mean that the drive is damaged or does taht mean thatt the SMART sensor (or what ever) can't be read by the tools in 9.10? | 04:24 |
* jgould waits on an upgrade to 10.04 | 04:31 | |
canthus13 | jgould: It probably means that smart isn't available for the drive... or BIOS doesn't have it enabled... or it's not enabled on the drive itself. | 04:57 |
jgould | hmm... Stupid comptuers | 05:40 |
canthus13 | Maybe computers just hate you like they do my wife... | 05:58 |
jgould | That could be, canthus13, that could be | 07:15 |
Unit193 | Doesn't like my sister... | 07:15 |
dmcglone | Morning all | 12:50 |
thafreak | Morning Ohio | 15:45 |
canthus13 | blargh. | 15:46 |
Cheri703 | blarghy blargh | 15:52 |
canthus13 | :) | 16:10 |
* Cheri703 is relaxing today, have had a busy week | 16:14 | |

canthus13 | Car? | 16:22 |
Cheri703 | some friends of ours let us use their car sometimes | 16:28 |
Cheri703 | we've actually not borrowed it for a while, but the place we need to go is outside of our usual areas | 16:29 |
canthus13 | Oh. Cool. :) | 16:43 |
canthus13 | Hah. I just got complimented on my american accent... THe woman couldn't believe I"m in mumbai. :) | 17:34 |
