marcog | lol, who set that? | 12:40 |
Kilos | hi all ian has installed karmic as its the only cd he has there and did upgrade to lucid with update manager | 15:33 |
Kilos | how does he get it to upgrade to maverick from there via cli please | 15:34 |
zeref | Kilos: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:54 |
Kilos | ty zeref | 15:54 |
Kilos | will that not just update lucid | 15:54 |
zeref | why not just wait till 12.04 comes out | 15:54 |
Kilos | he needs a working ubuntu to be able to run boot-repair on other crashed drives | 15:55 |
Kilos | his has uncapped at work so it isnt a prob | 15:55 |
zeref | so he's is going to 10.04 10.10 11.04 11.10 then 12.04 :P | 15:56 |
Kilos | he also doesnt have much time to fix things that dont work so wants to have a stable os to use and will then go 11.04 and 11.10 | 15:56 |
Kilos | thats right | 15:56 |
Kilos | he doesnt have time or cash to burn cds and start installing everytime so wants to go the upgrade route online | 15:57 |
zeref | hmmmm | 16:04 |
Kilos | bbl | 16:46 |
magespawn | Evening all. | 16:58 |
kbmonkey | hello geeky geeks | 17:10 |

kbmonkey | hi Kilos magespawn superfly | 18:11 |
kbmonkey | I didnt realize it was the 13th Fri magespawn | 18:11 |
kbmonkey | I'll be sure not to change any passwords today | 18:12 |
superfly | Kilos: if he's on 10.04, he can change all the instances of "maverick" to "precise" and then do a dist-upgrade... it's not really supported, but it should work | 18:12 |
magespawn | Apprently that is the best way to spend it unaware. | 18:12 |
superfly | I like Friday the 13th | 18:12 |
Kilos | ah im sure he will do that once he has a few drives fixed superfly | 18:13 |
Kilos | he has updated to maverick successfully | 18:13 |
superfly | Kilos: which is maverick again? | 18:14 |
Kilos | he started from karmic and even got updates for it to lucid 10.04 then maverick 10.10 | 18:14 |
superfly | ok | 18:15 |
Kilos | but he moans he prefers kubuntu but it wouldnt install | 18:15 |
superfly | you have to go via each version if you're not going LTS -> LTS | 18:15 |
superfly | Kilos: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 18:15 |
Kilos | yeah thats what took him so long | 18:15 |
Kilos | oh he will love that . will tell him when he gets a chance to do some private work again | 18:16 |
Kilos | not aptitude superfly ? | 18:17 |
superfly | Kilos: you can use aptitude too | 18:18 |
Kilos | yai am trying to get him to use it more than apt-get | 18:18 |
Kilos | he spends most of the time on the road to different clients so rarely gets personal stuff done | 18:19 |
Kilos | sometimes even has to travel sundays to be there early monday morning | 18:20 |
Kilos | windows seems to make a habit of killing the mbr | 18:30 |
magespawn | Kilos what does he do? | 18:31 |
Kilos | he does finger/hand/palmprint machines and other security stuff magespawn | 18:31 |
Kilos | also tracking units | 18:32 |
magespawn | Sounds cool, but lots of driving can be very tiring. | 18:33 |
Kilos | yes he is always poegaai | 18:33 |
magespawn | Had one windows laptop that the registry was corrupted so wouldn't get past the boot screen with the progress bar | 18:34 |
Kilos | there is a good reg cleaner and other fixer upper for windows | 18:34 |
Kilos | ccleaner | 18:35 |
Kilos | sorts out many other probs too and speeds up pc | 18:35 |
Kilos | and the nice thing is its free | 18:35 |

Kilos | repairs many faults | 18:37 |
Kilos | but normally with windows you can boot from a cd and go install and then get to recovery and run that | 18:38 |
magespawn | This one would not even start though | 18:38 |
magespawn | And the copy of windows is pirated too so need reactivation witha legal product key | 18:39 |
Kilos | ya ive had that. boot from cd and go install then i think two steps further then do recovery to 1 | 18:39 |
magespawn | I used the windows repair | 18:39 |
Kilos | what windows is it? | 18:39 |
Kilos | ah its fixed now? | 18:40 |
magespawn | Xp thank goodness | 18:40 |
magespawn | Yup except the activation | 18:40 |
