[18:25] <magespawn> Not sure I am bit out of the way
[18:26] <Kilos> the monkey and nuvolari supposed to be making plans with you hey?
[18:26] <magespawn> That was the idea
[18:26] <Kilos> oh i thought you said you gonna make the trip
[18:26] <Kilos> saw in the list mails intel has a new chip out for desktops
[18:27] <Kilos> 13 quad core processors in it
[18:27] <Kilos> must fly
[18:27] <Kilos> and cost a fortune
[18:30] <magespawn> I was going to see if I could but I do not know any of the details
[18:31] <nuvolari> o/ magespawn, uncle Kilos, superfly 
[18:31] <Kilos> nuvolari, ping
[18:31] <Kilos> lol
[18:31] <nuvolari> pong oom Kilos 
[18:31] <Kilos> naand seun
[18:31] <nuvolari> naand oom!
[18:31] <nuvolari> gaan dit goed?
[18:31] <magespawn> Hey nuvolari
[18:31] <Kilos> wat beplan julle vir n release patrytjie
[18:31] <Kilos> ja dankie nuvolari 
[18:32] <nuvolari> I'm a bit out of the loop, and from what my eye caught there were talks on Kloof
[18:32] <nuvolari> which is way out of my planned reach
[18:33] <Kilos> oh ya thats on the road to maritzburg
[18:34] <Kilos> what does william walter kinghorn say nuvolari ? he was involved a few releases back i think
[18:34] <nuvolari> Kilos: I think he was talking 'bout that
[18:34] <nuvolari> but I've not really had time to read *all* the emails :-/
[18:35] <Kilos> i havent seen any about a durbs party yet
[18:35] <Kilos> maybe i dont get all the mails
[18:35] <magespawn> I did not see anything either
[18:35] <Kilos> get lotsa libre office help needed ones though
[18:41] <Kilos> bad to be doff at times hey? i struggled most of the day to cd to a partition on my drive called /storage
[18:42] <Kilos> tried /home/storage   /home/miles/storage
[18:42] <magespawn> Okay, what was the problem
[18:43] <Kilos>  then media/storage and /dev storage
[18:43] <Kilos> ended up i just had to go /storage
[18:43] <Kilos> sigh
[18:43] <magespawn> Lol
[18:43] <Kilos> hehe
[18:44] <magespawn> Most obvious route
[18:44] <Kilos> its a lekker 40g partition full of movies and mavericks packages etc
[18:44] <magespawn> Cool beans
[18:45] <Kilos> want to empty it to put precise repo in there
[18:45] <magespawn> Brb putting fish 1 to bed
[18:45] <Kilos> but takes forever to watch the movies before deleting
[18:45] <Kilos> k
[19:01] <magespawn> Back
[19:01] <Kilos> wb
[19:01] <magespawn> You can't get another hard drive?
[19:02] <Kilos> i have the 40g external as well 
[19:02] <Kilos> but thats also kinda full
[19:02] <magespawn> 40 gig?
[19:03] <Kilos> yeah but its like 36g
[19:03] <Kilos> oh sorry gig yeah
[19:03] <magespawn> You always lose a bit because of system files etc.
[19:03] <magespawn> That is pretty small though
[19:05] <Kilos> but it also works now and again so first want to format and fsck and make sure it is good and reliable again before i save important stuff there
[19:05] <magespawn> Good idea.
[19:05] <magespawn> There arentwo things I seem to run out of all the time, plugs and storage.
[19:06] <magespawn> Are two
[19:06] <Kilos> lol
[19:07] <Kilos> i got a 200g seagate drive here that just goes click click and dunno where to even start looking
[19:07] <magespawn> Considering getting another 2TB of storage, but have other plans first
[19:07] <Kilos> ian brings all his scrap here
[19:07] <magespawn> Sound like stuck heads
[19:07] <Kilos> whew what do you save that needs that much storage
[19:08] <Kilos> i opened it and the heads actually moved back and forward for a while then just stop
[19:08] <Kilos> pc doesnt even see it
[19:08] <magespawn> Most of my dvd i store like that, so that when disk is damaged i can still watch them
[19:09] <Kilos> ah
[19:09] <magespawn> Could try the controller board if you can get a spare 
[19:10] <magespawn> Kids tend to wreck dvd 's quite quickly
[19:10] <Kilos> that little board inside it?
[19:10] <magespawn> The one on the bottom on the outside
[19:10] <magespawn> The one the controller cables plug into
[19:11] <Kilos> oh that big one. not must chance of getting one of them. unless ian gets lots more scrap ones
[19:11] <magespawn> That is usually the problem with drives no spares
[19:12] <Kilos> modern electronics is so advanced there isnt even much one can test anymore\
[19:12] <Kilos> chips with 100 legs etc
[19:12] <Kilos> when i was still working with electronics 24 legs was a massive chip
[19:13] <magespawn> I think they use white lithium grease for lubrication maybe try that on the head
[19:13] <magespawn> Yup
[19:13] <magespawn> Progress isn't it fun?
[19:13] <Kilos> the heads are those like wipers on either side of the disks hey
[19:14] <magespawn> Yup
[19:14] <Kilos> progress is good but everything is moving away from manual repairs
[19:15] <magespawn> But  the grease goes at the point were the little pivot is
[19:15] <magespawn> Brb
[19:16] <Kilos> ah. but it seems to pivot fine thats what makes the clicking noise
[19:16] <Kilos> eish
[19:16] <Kilos> wb
[19:17] <magespawn> Touch keyboard was freaking out
[19:17] <Kilos> sjoe
[19:17] <magespawn> The grease must not go on the actual heads but on the arms at the pivot point
[19:18] <Kilos> ah. but it seems to pivot fine thats what makes the clicking noise
[19:18] <Kilos> but will try anything
[19:18] <Kilos> would be lekker to have 200g of storage
[19:18] <magespawn> Maybe the board works just enough to get that going then fails
[19:19] <Kilos> i will experiment
[19:19] <magespawn> Does something like gparted see the drive?
[19:19] <Kilos> i forget now but will check again and let you knopw
[19:19] <Kilos> know
[19:19] <Kilos> but dont think so
[19:20] <Kilos> if gparted sees them its normally the mbr that corrupt
[19:20] <Kilos> fixed some like that by zeroing them and then installing
[19:21] <magespawn> If that does not then I have no other idea, there is a linux program for recovering info called photoimage i think 
[19:21] <Kilos> photorec
[19:21] <Kilos> and testdisk
[19:22] <magespawn> Thats it, that worked when gparted did not
[19:22] <Kilos> got great data recovery tools but drive needs to be seen first
[19:22] <Kilos> actually blogged about it once
[19:25] <Kilos> ty for the chat magespawn night all
[19:25] <Kilos> sleep tight
[19:26] <magespawn> Night kilos
[19:26] <magespawn> Ooops slow typing
