| magespawn | o/ Kilos and superfly | 06:47 |
| Squirm | argh | 06:51 |
| Squirm | to be awoken :/ | 06:51 |
| magespawn | such is this life Squirm | 07:03 |
| magespawn | just run into the fun that is ie rendering a page different from firefox and chrome | 07:07 |
| Vince-0 | Ooh, run - just run | 07:08 |
| Squirm | magespawn: had Monday and today off. but guess what, I have to help people with their computer troubles and all I want to do is sleep | 07:08 |
| magespawn | this might come across as a bit arrogant but you could say "Lack of planning and forsight on your part, does not constitute and emergency on mine." | 07:10 |
| Vince-0 | "computer says no | 07:11 |
| Squirm | what if it's to your father :P | 07:23 |
| Squirm | @ magespawn | 07:23 |
| Squirm | lol | 07:23 |
| magespawn | then you could find yourself disowned/out of will/shot depending lol | 07:24 |
| * Squirm must remember not to go home if he wants rest on leave | 07:24 | |
| henkj | hey Squirm | 07:38 |
| Squirm | hello henkj | 07:40 |
| Squirm | how thing going down there? | 07:40 |
| henkj | pretty good thanks, what's this about you not going home if you want rest? | 07:41 |
| Squirm | A[09:08:59] .:Squirm:. magespawn: had Monday and today off. but guess what, I have to help people with their computer troubles and all I want to do is sleep | 07:42 |
| magespawn | and its family | 07:42 |
| Squirm | but I get woken up early :/ | 07:42 |
| magespawn | sleep is over rated | 07:42 |
| Squirm | not when you just want to rest | 07:44 |
| henkj | thankfully I get those calls in the evening | 08:18 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | morning | 08:32 |
| superfly | aloha | 08:45 |
| superfly | Squirm: I don't fix Windows computers :-) that solves most problems | 08:46 |
| superfly | ohi Mezenir | 08:54 |
| Squirm | superfly: problem is I am able to, so I get asked to | 09:05 |
| magespawn | project for March: network boot an Asus A7N266-VM through an add on network card. why? because onboard ide does not work and there is not support to boot from usb | 09:40 |
| Kilos | ai | 09:50 |
| Kilos | yo SubOracle | 09:50 |
| Squirm | magespawn: edubuntu does it out of the box | 09:51 |
| Kilos | you think its the drive or ide sockets on the m/b magespawn | 09:51 |
| Squirm | magespawn: are you looking to install an OS? | 09:51 |
| henkj | Squirm: I'm not sure if I am able to fix windows issues anymore, all I do with windows is play games | 10:00 |
| Kilos | hi henkj thats about what its good for | 10:01 |
| henkj | hi Kilos, it is pretty good at that | 10:02 |
| Kilos | yeah | 10:02 |
| henkj | but steam for linux is improving the prospects for gaming on linux | 10:02 |
| Kilos | i think gaming is the main thing holding lotsa peeps back from dropping winsucks | 10:03 |
| henkj | atm I play a windows only game | 10:03 |
| henkj | I agree, but I can see why it's like that | 10:04 |
| henkj | windows games get more polish because they have a larger audience, so linux games don't look as appealing, so all the gamers stay on windows, so not viable to make polished linux games | 10:05 |
| henkj | kickstarter has shown that there are enough people who want linux games (and are willing to pay for them) | 10:06 |
| henkj | nvidia has been improving their linux drivers a lot recently | 10:07 |
| henkj | so things are getting better | 10:07 |
| Kilos | oh well lets hope | 10:08 |
| magespawn | Squirm and Kilos i think that it is the id sockets on the mb, any os will do | 10:09 |
| Kilos | ouch | 10:09 |
| magespawn | but it now looks like the board is a bit more fried than i thought, it does not detect the add on lan card | 10:09 |
| Kilos | both? | 10:09 |
| magespawn | yes | 10:09 |
| Kilos | ouch that suks | 10:10 |
| magespawn | old board, so now it is on to the next one | 10:10 |
| magespawn | gotta go bbl | 10:11 |
| Kilos | k | 10:11 |
| Symmetria | http://www.alstonnetworks.net/pics/doggie.jpg <=== lol, my dogs new favorite toy | 10:45 |
| Symmetria | she runs around the house for hours on end with that in her mouth | 10:45 |
| Squirm | ours does too | 11:19 |
| Squirm | funny thing though, he can't hold it for long. so it's easy to get it from him | 11:19 |
| Squirm | it just slips out of his mouth | 11:20 |
| Squirm | bbl | 11:21 |

| Squirm | back | 12:42 |
| Kilos | ohi ThatGraemeGuy | 12:50 |
| * Squirm looks around | 12:50 | |
| * ThatGraemeGuy waves | 12:51 | |
| Squirm | downloaded a big bang theory last week and forgot about it | 12:54 |
| Squirm | means I can watch it now :) | 12:54 |
| Kilos | hehe they nuts them peeps | 12:55 |
| magespawn | nice if you can get it http://www.itweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62014&A=GAD&S=Broadband&O=E&E=geames@lantic.net | 13:29 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and if you can afford it: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband/71312-mweb-20mbps-and-40mbps-uncapped-vdsl-prices-revealed.html | 14:18 |
| magespawn | i would love 40mbps | 14:33 |
| tumbleweed | let's start by actually getting anywhere near 10mbps international throughput (most ISPs struggle with that) | 14:38 |
| tumbleweed | 40mbps local would sure be handy, though | 14:38 |
| magespawn | with 40mbps could you host your own servers? | 15:25 |
| Symmetria | no, because thats downstream not upstream | 15:26 |
| magespawn | does it work the same as adsl ie upstream is half of downstream? | 15:27 |
| magespawn | i can only get a maximum of 4mbps here anyway so the point is academic | 15:31 |
| Kilos | i wish one of you clever peeps would work out or tell me how to move a mbr to a new place | 15:42 |
| Kilos | surely one can tell it not to use first 512bytes and look from 1m further | 15:43 |
| inetpro | Kilos: no | 15:43 |
| Kilos | no what | 15:44 |
| Kilos | no you wont tell me or no one cant | 15:45 |
| Kilos | if i can do that i got spanne drives that will work again | 15:46 |
| inetpro | Kilos: the mbr lives in the first 512 bytes | 15:46 |
| inetpro | that's where it needs to be | 15:47 |
| Kilos | yeah but you can make it larger with dd commands | 15:47 |
| Kilos | so thounk maybe there was a way to start looking after first 512 was missed out | 15:47 |
| Kilos | thunk too | 15:47 |
| inetpro | get a proper disk man | 15:49 |
| Kilos | ai! that 2 TB is a proper disk | 15:49 |
| Kilos | was | 15:49 |
| Kilos | and 2 seagate 500m drives here too | 15:50 |
| Kilos | 500g | 15:50 |
| inetpro | so move the mbr to one of the other two | 15:50 |
| Kilos | they all sick man | 15:50 |
| Kilos | grrr | 15:50 |
| inetpro | ai! | 15:50 |
| Kilos | ians pc with the virus in bios killed them methinks | 15:50 |
| Kilos | get messages like illegal drive00 sector 0 | 15:51 |
| Kilos | and even dd drive zero command cant wipe or write new one | 15:52 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 15:52 |
| Kilos | but if bios sees the drive and ubuntu doesnt say disk failure imminent then its not a scrap drive | 15:53 |
| Kilos | lets think | 15:54 |
| Kilos | take dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 | 15:54 |
| Kilos | and change that bs=512 count=1 | 15:55 |
| Kilos | to something that means 512 to 1024 or something | 15:56 |
| Kilos | ubcd has a tool where one can manually edit the mbr but dunno where to find what it can be changed to | 16:00 |
| Vince-0 | Ubuntu on air hangout in 30 minutes! http://ubuntuonair.com/ | 16:01 |
| magespawn | What are they doing to day Vince-0? | 16:11 |
| Vince-0 | talk to Jamie and Marc from the #Ubuntu #Security team+ | 16:11 |
| Kilos- | ai! | 16:17 |
| Kilos- | power died | 16:18 |
| Vince-0 | welkom in Africa | 16:19 |
| Kilos- | lol | 16:19 |
| Kilos- | google tool to edit mbr on hdd | 16:31 |
| magespawn | it does not look like you can have the mbr moved on the disk but rather have it on another disk altogether | 16:34 |
| magespawn | but have never done something like that before | 16:34 |
| Kilos- | oh my magespawn where you see that | 16:34 |
| Kilos- | that sounds wonderful | 16:35 |
| Kilos- | ill try it | 16:35 |
| Kilos- | nothing to lose | 16:35 |
| magespawn | admitedly that is for the other os | 16:35 |
| magespawn | http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19411_102-398461/how-to-create-or-move-a-mbr/ | 16:35 |
| Kilos- | mbr dont mind | 16:36 |
| Kilos- | ty so much will check now | 16:36 |
| magespawn | looks like that might be mistaken though looks like they are talking about the boot loader | 16:37 |
| Kilos- | aw | 16:38 |
| magespawn | read here too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Mbr | 16:38 |
| Kilos- | will do | 16:41 |
| Kilos- | even a command to copy one drives mbr to another might help | 16:41 |
| Kilos- | i looked here http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/MBRFix.shtml | 16:44 |
| Kilos- | but cant find where to download that mbrfix | 16:44 |
| Kilos- | goes to google adds | 16:44 |
| Kilos- | grrr | 16:44 |
| magespawn | will have a look tomorrow on my way home now, later all | 16:50 |
| Kilos- | ty | 16:50 |
| Kilos- | go safe | 16:50 |
| Kilos- | got it ty magespawn | 16:54 |
| * Kilos- hates google | 16:54 | |
| Kilos- | desperate times require desperate measures | 17:41 |
| Kilos- | gonna try http://tech.gaeatimes.com/index.php/archive/how-to-copy-master-boot-record-mbr-between-hard-disks/ | 17:41 |
| Kilos- | hope it dont kill kde | 17:42 |
| Kilos- | wbb | 17:46 |
| inetpro | Kilos: but you said all your drives are broken | 18:06 |
| Kilos | no man ians are broken | 18:06 |
| Kilos | oh ya | 18:06 |
| inetpro | so why you so happy about magespawn's suggestion? | 18:07 |
| inetpro | because that'sexactly what I suggested | 18:07 |
| Kilos | i installed 10.10 on my 160g again but still got ians 500g that i fixed months ago with kde on | 18:07 |
| Kilos | ok the moving mbr thing | 18:07 |
| Kilos | but they not moving niks on one drive there | 18:08 |
| inetpro | ai! | 18:08 |
| inetpro | did you even read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Mbr ? | 18:08 |
| Kilos | thats some ou wanting to move mbr from hdd to ssd | 18:08 |
| inetpro | see: Boot-Order, Bios | 18:09 |
| Kilos | i want to fix ians other drive that has the corrupt mbr | 18:09 |
| Kilos | he coulda changed boot drive in bios | 18:09 |
| inetpro | and then "MBR Back-Up and Replacement" | 18:09 |
| Kilos | oh | 18:10 |
| Kilos | no man that mbr is badly corrupt | 18:10 |
| inetpro | so just create a new mbr | 18:10 |
| Kilos | no good backing it up and no backup to restore from | 18:10 |
| inetpro | on a proper disk | 18:10 |
| Kilos | i have this 500g kde that i want to copy its mbr to the bad drive | 18:11 |
| Kilos | of even backup this one and restore it to the bad one | 18:11 |
| inetpro | there's this thing called fixmbr | 18:12 |
| Kilos | just gotta find where it backs up to | 18:12 |
| inetpro | it normally comes with a windows boot disk | 18:12 |
| Kilos | its a win tool | 18:12 |
| Kilos | my 2 copies of xp dont see sata drives | 18:12 |
| inetpro | ai! | 18:12 |
| Kilos | my win7 can partition that bad drive but cant install | 18:13 |
| inetpro | have you tried doing fixmbr? | 18:13 |
| Kilos | i dunno why xp cant see the sata drives | 18:13 |
| Kilos | fixmbr from where | 18:13 |
| Kilos | you have to go the install route with xp to run fixmbr and fixboot | 18:14 |
| Kilos | but here it says no hdd so dont even get there | 18:15 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 18:15 |
| Kilos | i wonder if boot-repair does mbr too\ | 18:15 |
| Kilos | if i could get quassel to bloep at nick mentioned and not only make pling when window not in focus i wouldnt have anything but kde running | 18:18 |
| Kilos | im installing boot-repair here. if i disappear it killed kde for me again | 18:20 |
| Kilos | worked for ian last week though so heres hoping | 18:20 |
| inetpro | ai! | 18:21 |
| inetpro | Kilos: have you enabled sound for the event "Highlight when focussed"? | 18:22 |
| Kilos | oh didnt know there a focussed one too | 18:22 |
| Kilos | will check | 18:22 |
| inetpro | ai! | 18:23 |
| Kilos | nope wasnt done | 18:23 |
| Kilos | talk to me lets see | 18:24 |
| inetpro | Kilos: why? | 18:24 |
| Kilos | Maaz: coffee on | 18:24 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 18:24 | |
| Kilos | no sound | 18:24 |
| Kilos | sigh | 18:24 |
| Kilos | maybe quassel needs a restart | 18:25 |
| Kilos | wbb | 18:25 |
| inetpro | Maaz: coffee please | 18:25 |
| Maaz | inetpro: Sure | 18:25 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 18:25 |
| magespawn | evening all | 18:28 |
| Kilos | ai! dunno why boot-repair dont install here | 18:28 |
| Kilos | hi magespawn | 18:28 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos and inetpro! | 18:28 |
| Kilos | Maaz: ty | 18:28 |
| Maaz | You are welcome Kilos | 18:28 |
| magespawn | superfly you got a moment | 18:28 |
| magespawn | hey Kilos | 18:28 |
| Kilos | see inetpro no sound when focussed | 18:28 |
| inetpro | Kilos: hmm.... that must be a bug | 18:28 |
| * inetpro just tested also | 18:29 | |
| Kilos | does yours work inetpro | 18:29 |
| inetpro | Kilos: no | 18:29 |
| Kilos | ai! | 18:29 |
| inetpro | maybe it's not supposed to work | 18:29 |
| inetpro | maybe it is a feature and not a bug | 18:29 |
| magespawn | well at least we know now that it is not just Kilos | 18:30 |
| Kilos | well you and the fly are kde experts | 18:30 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 18:30 |
| Kilos | i think the fly said his works when i first tried quassel | 18:31 |
| inetpro | Kilos: well it is the first time ever that you say you want it to work while you have the window in focus | 18:31 |
| inetpro | or at least first time I see that you say that | 18:32 |
| inetpro | but maybe I forget | 18:32 |
| Kilos | no man dodo i always leave ubuntu-za in focus so if i hear the sound while cooking i dont first have to find where i am | 18:33 |
| inetpro | so just switch to another window as you leave for cooking man | 18:33 |
| inetpro | it's so simple to press Alt+Tab | 18:33 |
| Kilos | ai! now a restart is needed to complete the upgrade | 18:33 |
| Kilos | grrr | 18:33 |
| Kilos | hi smile4ever | 18:35 |
