[00:58] <canthus13> Unit193: Umm.. it's late, but have you tried supergrub?
[00:59] <Unit193> While back, but that's not the issue, testdisk did some good, but I'll have to go another round with it. :/
[01:01] <Unit193> Thanks though.
[01:03]  * canthus13 nods.
[01:26] <Unit193> skellat: Howdy.
[01:27] <skellat> Unit193: Howdy.
[01:27] <skellat> Unit193: How goes it?
[01:27] <Unit193> Getting closer to a fix, you?
[01:27] <Unit193> Also, you did notice Burning Circle getting into the UWN?
[01:28] <skellat> When did we get in?
[01:28] <paultag> :D
[01:28] <skellat> Unless UWN stands for something else...not this week...
[01:29] <Unit193> Ubuntu Weekly News, it's under the podcast section (of next week at least)
[01:29] <paultag> I think he knows :)
[01:29] <paultag> just being funny
[01:29] <paultag> man you've lost your sense of humor Unit193
[01:29] <skellat> I hadn't looked at next week's yet...
[01:30] <skellat> And now I have
[01:30] <Unit193> paultag: Different sense, and been up way too long. :P
[01:30] <paultag> bah
[01:31] <skellat> I don't normally have big policy ramblings that intersect with sci/tech but with the lovely spectrum debate something had to be said.
[01:31] <Unit193> (Things started breaking up last night around 2, was trying to fix some things, including a fan failure. :/ )
[01:31] <skellat> So, Unit193, how did your computer die?
[01:32] <Unit193> Still trying to get it back, and a couple things went wrong. :P
[01:32] <skellat> What went wrong?
[01:33] <Unit193> Fan, grub, partition table, and generally windows failing.
[01:33] <skellat> We've got only one Windows box left at home that works.  Everything else is on either Xubuntu or Lubuntu.
[01:33] <Unit193> Hah, same exact here.
[01:34] <Unit193> So I'm wondering, what's your need of apt-offline?
[01:36] <skellat> Craptastic broadband.  It is nice to have on the base disc if I set a machine up for anybody.  Please remember that there are points of Ashtabula County that only got dial tone in the 1970s and others that can't get past 28.8k on dialup...
[01:36]  * canthus13 is considering setting up an apt proxy.  
[01:37] <canthus13> 8 machines running debian or ubuntu makes it make sense.
[01:37] <Unit193> Wow, quite. (To both)
[01:38] <skellat> Now that I figured out how to reset ubuntu-defaults-image to spit out Xubuntu images instead...that plus the metapackage here let me ensure I have tools I need in a live environment: https://launchpad.net/~skellat/+archive/elptools
[01:40] <skellat> The description on erielooking-settings does have the disclaimer that while it pulls in what we find useful at Erie Looking Productions...it might not do so for others...
[01:41] <Unit193> Yeah, metapackage is a good way to go, I'm just doing a wget -qO- |sh deal, not as good but works.
[01:41] <Unit193> Tagger has one as well, but different description. :P
[01:42] <skellat> Once I taught myself some rudimentary packaging...it isn't bad at all.  ubuntu-defaults-builder makes it easy to get started.
[01:43] <skellat> SEE ALSO: https://code.launchpad.net/~skellat/elpreconfig/trunk
[01:53] <Unit193> Wooohoo! I got it! Fully working no less, boots and everything!  Chances of that were rather slim too. :D
[01:53] <Unit193> I should just figure that out, make myself a ppa rather than pushing stuff to bzr and then recompiling everywhere. :P
[02:03] <skellat> Unit193: Reading documentation on Launchpad and banging on things is how I got as far as I did.
[02:07] <skellat> And if I forgot to mention it, I will say that Burning Circle via e-mail ends as soon as my Google account gets nuked as nuking that wipes out anything I had on FeedBurner too
[02:09] <skellat> This makes me glad I'm off Twitter and am sticking with Identica: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/06/21/twitter_outage_fail_whale/
[02:12]  * skellat has to run away to deal with overheating issues elsewhere at home.  Goodnight y'all...
[14:46] <thafreak> So...anyone have any input on purchasing an ssd?
[14:47] <thafreak> seems all of the ones I look at have atleast some % of people on newegg saying they suck
[14:47] <thafreak> but all hard drives i've ever looked at have that
[14:47] <thafreak> i trust the oppinion of people in #ubuntu-us-oh way more than the r-tards on newegg
[15:12] <MaskedDriver> anybody here speak fluent or at least very good german?
[15:12] <paultag> MaskedDriver: Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen
[15:12] <paultag> Ich hatte ein paar jare als Deutchland studiert (god, I can't spell anymore)
[15:13] <paultag> als ich in Deutschland war, I guess
[15:13] <paultag> A bit rusty
[15:16] <yano> Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch.
[15:16] <paultag> toll :)
[15:16] <yano> ah, paultag beat me to it
[15:16] <paultag> yano: naja, alles gut
[15:16] <yano> :-)
[15:16] <paultag> ich arbetet jezt :)
[15:16] <yano> took a 101 class in uni and have read a few books, and slowly participating in duolingo
[15:16] <paultag> erm, ich arbeite jetzt, I guess
[15:16] <MaskedDriver> nevermind, my buddy from deutschland  came through
[15:17] <paultag> god, I'm not super great anymore
[15:17] <MaskedDriver> needed a quick translation
[15:17] <MaskedDriver> danke
[15:17] <yano> ##deutsch exists, if anyone cares
[15:18] <paultag> my german sucks too much to idle there
[15:19] <MaskedDriver> lol
[15:20] <yano> i've been idling there since i've been interested in deutsch, occasionally i'll glance at the buffer and read what's going on
[15:21] <yano> i idle in lots of channels
[17:11] <thafreak> hmm, just saw a spam ticket in some one's trac for web hosting...must be a quality hosting provider
