[18:26] That was the idea [18:26] oh i thought you said you gonna make the trip [18:26] saw in the list mails intel has a new chip out for desktops [18:27] 13 quad core processors in it [18:27] must fly [18:27] and cost a fortune [18:30] I was going to see if I could but I do not know any of the details [18:31] o/ magespawn, uncle Kilos, superfly [18:31] nuvolari, ping [18:31] lol [18:31] pong oom Kilos [18:31] naand seun [18:31] naand oom! [18:31] gaan dit goed? [18:31] Hey nuvolari [18:31] wat beplan julle vir n release patrytjie [18:31] ja dankie nuvolari [18:32] I'm a bit out of the loop, and from what my eye caught there were talks on Kloof [18:32] which is way out of my planned reach [18:33] oh ya thats on the road to maritzburg [18:34] what does william walter kinghorn say nuvolari ? he was involved a few releases back i think [18:34] Kilos: I think he was talking 'bout that [18:34] but I've not really had time to read *all* the emails :-/ [18:35] i havent seen any about a durbs party yet [18:35] maybe i dont get all the mails [18:35] I did not see anything either [18:35] get lotsa libre office help needed ones though [18:41] 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] tried /home/storage /home/miles/storage [18:42] Okay, what was the problem [18:43] then media/storage and /dev storage [18:43] ended up i just had to go /storage [18:43] sigh [18:43] Lol [18:43] hehe [18:44] Most obvious route [18:44] its a lekker 40g partition full of movies and mavericks packages etc [18:44] Cool beans [18:45] want to empty it to put precise repo in there [18:45] Brb putting fish 1 to bed [18:45] but takes forever to watch the movies before deleting [18:45] k [19:01] Back [19:01] wb [19:01] You can't get another hard drive? [19:02] i have the 40g external as well [19:02] but thats also kinda full [19:02] 40 gig? [19:03] yeah but its like 36g [19:03] oh sorry gig yeah [19:03] You always lose a bit because of system files etc. [19:03] That is pretty small though [19:05] 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] Good idea. [19:05] There arentwo things I seem to run out of all the time, plugs and storage. [19:06] Are two [19:06] lol [19:07] i got a 200g seagate drive here that just goes click click and dunno where to even start looking [19:07] Considering getting another 2TB of storage, but have other plans first [19:07] ian brings all his scrap here [19:07] Sound like stuck heads [19:07] whew what do you save that needs that much storage [19:08] i opened it and the heads actually moved back and forward for a while then just stop [19:08] pc doesnt even see it [19:08] Most of my dvd i store like that, so that when disk is damaged i can still watch them [19:09] ah [19:09] Could try the controller board if you can get a spare [19:10] Kids tend to wreck dvd 's quite quickly [19:10] that little board inside it? [19:10] The one on the bottom on the outside [19:10] The one the controller cables plug into [19:11] oh that big one. not must chance of getting one of them. unless ian gets lots more scrap ones [19:11] That is usually the problem with drives no spares [19:12] modern electronics is so advanced there isnt even much one can test anymore\ [19:12] chips with 100 legs etc [19:12] when i was still working with electronics 24 legs was a massive chip [19:13] I think they use white lithium grease for lubrication maybe try that on the head [19:13] Yup [19:13] Progress isn't it fun? [19:13] the heads are those like wipers on either side of the disks hey [19:14] Yup [19:14] progress is good but everything is moving away from manual repairs [19:15] But the grease goes at the point were the little pivot is [19:15] Brb [19:16] ah. but it seems to pivot fine thats what makes the clicking noise [19:16] eish [19:16] wb [19:17] Touch keyboard was freaking out [19:17] sjoe [19:17] The grease must not go on the actual heads but on the arms at the pivot point [19:18] ah. but it seems to pivot fine thats what makes the clicking noise [19:18] but will try anything [19:18] would be lekker to have 200g of storage [19:18] Maybe the board works just enough to get that going then fails [19:19] i will experiment [19:19] Does something like gparted see the drive? [19:19] i forget now but will check again and let you knopw [19:19] know [19:19] but dont think so [19:20] if gparted sees them its normally the mbr that corrupt [19:20] fixed some like that by zeroing them and then installing [19:21] If that does not then I have no other idea, there is a linux program for recovering info called photoimage i think [19:21] photorec [19:21] and testdisk [19:22] Thats it, that worked when gparted did not [19:22] got great data recovery tools but drive needs to be seen first [19:22] actually blogged about it once [19:25] ty for the chat magespawn night all [19:25] sleep tight [19:26] Night kilos [19:26] Ooops slow typing [21:15] \o/ http://my-ubuntu-day.blogspot.com/2012/04/cape-town-precise-pangolin-release.html [21:25] w00t
