| xannen | Hi sagaci! | 06:23 |
|---|---|---|
| sagaci | ah so close, getting an interface with the 312U AirCard (this is still the old one) on the latest daily | 06:23 |
| xannen | Is the 312U 4G or 3G? | 06:24 |
| sagaci | 3G | 06:24 |
| sagaci | the 320U won't be in my hands til next week | 06:24 |
| sagaci | 320U being 4G | 06:24 |
| xannen | Okay. :D Is it so cloudy, in my area. | 06:24 |
| xannen | It is* | 06:25 |
| xannen | So how's your day sagaci? | 06:25 |
| sagaci | reinstalling on my laptop, other than that.. nothing out of the ordinar | 06:28 |
| sagaci | ry | 06:28 |
| xannen | Yay for nothing out of the ordinary! :D | 06:31 |
| sagaci | I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but the 312U works with a couple of config tweaks on 11.10 | 07:08 |
| sagaci | which is awesome | 07:08 |
| sagaci | I'll have to write some docs about it | 07:08 |
| head_victim | sagaci: I think most devices work alright these days from the little look around I had. | 07:10 |
| head_victim | The sierra ones in particular seem well supported. | 07:10 |
| sagaci | yeah, the drivers are gpl | 07:11 |
| sagaci | moreso just the out-of-date apn settings in networkmanager | 07:11 |
| head_victim | Bug report! | 07:12 |
| head_victim | Anyone ever run a computer install of a USB drive (as the only hard drive in the computer)? | 07:55 |
| elky | head_victim, not long term. what's your actual q? | 08:13 |
| head_victim | Just seeing if it's feasible, most of the stuff online I'm finding is all about liveUSB stuff which I don't want. | 08:15 |
| head_victim | I found something about moving tmp to ram and stuff like that | 08:16 |
| elky | when you make the drive, you slide the bar that asks about persistant storage from 0 to what you need. | 08:16 |
| head_victim | Yeah but doing it that way only gives 4gb from my experience | 08:17 |
| head_victim | I was hoping to use a 16gb stick and just install to it. | 08:17 |
| elky | yes, because it limits you to the FAT filesystem limits | 08:17 |
| elky | and it's more like 2gb | 08:18 |
| head_victim | Basically I'm trying to repurpose a work laptop so I can use it as a personal one but not have to run windows XP. | 08:19 |
| elky | head_victim, has the 'warranty dies if you break this sticker' sticker been broken yet? | 08:24 |
| head_victim | Nope :/ | 08:24 |
| elky | :( | 08:24 |
| elky | is the laptop still in warranty? | 08:25 |
| head_victim | I will still need it for work as well but I want to be able to use it for other things. | 08:25 |
| elky | ah ok, then swapping out the hdd is probably not the way to go | 08:25 |
| elky | i really dunno otherwise. you can't break the limitations by sheer want unfortunately | 08:25 |
| head_victim | I'm "filling in" (read: pretty much permanent) in a role for work where I get a laptop and mobile (the mobile has no data though) so I'm just trying to utilise them to the best of my ability ;) | 08:26 |
| head_victim | My plan as it stands is to just install it to the USB as if it were just another hard drive and see how it copes. | 08:26 |
| gggs | wow, is it possible for an entire ext3 volume to lose it's structure data? It wouldn't mount, I ran a fsck & re-mounted, there's nothing left on it apart from lost+found/#0 to #99993 | 15:33 |
| gggs | it's all a little surreal at the moment, a 2GB truecrypt volume wiped out, the most important 2GB on my entire hdd, and last backup is a month old | 15:38 |

| Fudge | go digging for your old partition tables? | 23:13 |
| gggs | still trying, but I'm running out of options | 23:22 |
| gggs | I've had 2 hours sleep, been trying a few things: fsck leaves the volume empty, there's no backup superblocks, using e2image on an older volume backup doesn't work | 23:26 |
| gggs | Seems both encrypted volumes (important data) have somehow been rendered completely unreadable without warning. I noticed something was up when Claws-mail started acting strange | 23:40 |
