magespawnanybody know where the default download location is for lynx running on ubuntu server?12:35
Kilosoh my12:36
* magespawn feeling a bit lazy to do a search12:36
magespawnapparently lots of people want to know that one, came up right away in google12:38
Kiloswhy do you need to know that?12:41
magespawndownloaded freenas on the weekend using lynx on my server12:41
Kilosoh and now you cant find it?12:42
magespawndo not even know where to look12:43
magespawnlol12:43
Kiloshehe12:43
Kiloswhat happens if you install lynx on a pc with gui and then search12:44
magespawnfound it my user home directory12:45
magespawnjust did ls at the prompt12:46
Kilosah clever now tell the others how12:46
drubinKilos: Maia took over.12:47
Kilosya ty drubin but she isnt sure where you got the stats methinks12:47
Kilosso maiatoday the boss chick now12:47
magespawnnot sure Kilos, lynx runs from the cli so the gui should not make too much difference12:48
Kilosisnt searching easier though12:48
magespawnyou mean for the downloaded files12:50
magespawn?12:50
Kilosya12:50
Kilosthen you see them in downloads12:50
magespawni suppose, this way it is a matter of getting used to finding them, they should all go to the samr place anyway12:54
Kiloslol12:55
magespawnjust no point and click12:56
Kilosya makes on lazy hey?12:57
Kilosno thinking necessary12:58

Kilosyo Trixar_za 13:12
Trixar_zaHey Kilos13:13
Trixar_zaYou know what I always wondered? I understand why Spiderman shoots web with his webshooter, but how about the Spider-Man with the 'mutated' shooter?14:14
Trixar_zaShouldn't that be in his butt like a real spider?14:14
nlsthznTrixar_za, wait for the next reboot when they make it more realistic14:21
Trixar_zaHaven't they already rebooted it?14:23
Trixar_zaWith the one character that truely dies horribly in the series14:23
Trixar_za(Neck snaps as he tries to break her fall with his webbing)14:23
nlsthznnot sure...  been out of the loop movie wise... but then we wait for the reboot of the reboot...14:24

Kiloshiya magtie 15:29
* Kilos swanks and struts magespawn 15:29
magtiehi Kilos15:29
Kilos2 tb drive repaired but all data gone15:29
magespawnahh that is too bad try testdisk or photorec they can recover data even from formatted drives15:33
Kilosno the drive is worth big bucks15:34
Kiloswho cares about the data15:34
Kilostestdisk ran from 8pm last night till just now and was only 3%15:35
Kilosi cant wait a week15:35
Kilosnow just gotta work out how to make xp see a sata drive15:36
Kilosi got some packages that shoulda worked using ubuntu but cant get xp to install them15:37
Kilosgrrr15:37
Kilosme hates winsucks15:37
Kilosi wonder what 2 TB drives cost. Ian will be happy. or his client at least15:40
Kilosthe 2TB was a test to see whether its fixable methinks. the peeps that were very anxcious about data was on a crashed 20 GB15:42
Kiloshehe15:42
Kilosanyway i aint got space to save that much info15:46
Kilosremember you had the same prob15:46
magespawnthere are some, like scalpel i think, that will recover the file headers so you can decide which ones to keep15:47
magespawnalso Zero Assumption Recovery (windows, I know) will let you see the files before recovery15:47
Kilosok i will give it a try. i think testdisk might have taken so long because only the bios could see the drive15:48
Kiloseek15:48
magespawntestdisk does take awhile to run15:48
Kilosi already had to use that mbr tool with windows to make a bootable cd15:49
magespawnbut if you fix the boot and mbr all the data is usally still there15:49
Kilosthe drive was same as my dead kde drive15:49
Kilosunallocated and couldnt make partitions or anything15:49
Kilosya but only xp has both those commands and xp dont see the sata drive15:50
Kilosso stupid of ms to remove those drivers in default install15:51
magespawni am on my wy home see you later15:52
Kilosgo well magespawn 15:52

nuvolaridokumenter oor Riaan Cruywagen17:44
magespawnhey nuvolari17:44
Kilosya i wondered when it said the quassel bit17:44
nuvolarihowdy magespawn 17:44
Kilosya seun17:45
magespawnman that guy has been around forever17:45
Kilosyeah last news tonight for him17:46
nuvolarimagespawn: my favorite on twitter: @WhisperdScream17:46
nuvolariAnd on the sixth day God created man, as reported by Riaan Cruywagen. (I know, stole my own tweet) Farewell 'ol chap17:46
Kilosand he had leukemia 30 or 40 years ago17:46
nuvolarioh? I didn't know that17:46
Kiloshe was skiiny , nearly died17:49
Kilosskinny17:49
Kilosyay magespawn ian says i can install ubuntu on the 2 TB and do datarec from there17:52
magespawnyou will lose some of the data but that should be minimal if the drive was full17:55
Kilosoh well we do what we can17:55
magespawnno need to install ubuntu, you should be able to specify the 2tb as the recovery drive17:56
magespawnagain you will lose data17:56
magespawnnot sure which way would be best ie minimise  data loss17:56
Kiloslol17:57
Kilosim more worried about saving drives than data17:57
magespawnwhy did the drive fail?17:57
Kilosif one uses all the recivery tools you will get at least 80% of the data17:57
magespawna lot of that depends on the customer17:58
magespawnfor some the data is more important17:58
Kilosmbr got corrupt from virus attacks17:58
Kilosya i will do what i can17:58
magespawnahh i see17:59
magespawnso not a hard ware problem then which is good17:59
Kilosi think 3 were more important than the others data wise17:59
Kilos20g 40g and 80g17:59
Kilosits just hard to get them parted again, the disk utility and gparted can part them at all18:00
Kilosserious virii18:00
Kiloscant not can18:00
Kilosthey see the drives but can do nothing18:01
Kilosnice thing about windows scandisk, shows if there are bad sectors18:03

charl_good evening18:12
Kiloshi charl_ 18:13
magespawnhey charl_18:16
magespawndrive manufacturers also have software to test the drives18:16
Kilosyip ubcd has a few of them in it18:19
charl_hi Kilos, magespawn 18:27
magespawnquestion for the web wizards: if i buy myself a static ip and a domain name can i have that domain point to that ip address via dns?18:29
timkellermagespawn: You can yes. However, you'll need to land that static IP somewhere.18:34
magespawnland?18:34
timkellerYeah18:35
timkellerLike... you'd configure a router in a data centre (or someone would do that for you) to advertise your static IP18:35
timkellerUsually an ISP would do this for you.18:36
magespawnahh right18:37
magespawndns host provider?18:37
magespawni assume the isp who provides the ip address would do that18:41
magespawngood night all19:05
magespawnlets see if i can do this right this time19:05
Kilosnight magespawn 19:05
Kilossleep tight19:05
