| HecticZA | Afternoon :) | 10:30 |
| Kilos | hi HecticZA wb | 10:30 |
| HecticZA | Thx Kilos. :) | 10:30 |
| Kilos | yo winning? | 10:30 |
| Kilos | you | 10:30 |
| Kilos | mazal, ping | 10:31 |
| Kilos | ^^ | 10:31 |
| HecticZA | Not really. I have been going through some sites that Maz recommended and I did pick up some more info. I have a couple of questions? | 10:31 |
| Kilos | weel if you got probs ask here and someone will help you | 10:32 |
| Kilos | well | 10:32 |
| Kilos | we are here to help | 10:32 |
| HecticZA | I downloaded the LTS and versions. I tried to put 4 on a flash drive via Unetbootin, but my pc does not want to boot with it. I then tried 13.04 on a rewritable dvd. It did boot, but with lots of errors and when it did eventually boot it was basically non responsive and I had to reboot pc. Can I test the size of the dl somewhere? I could not find the checksum on the site, I probably missed it. | 10:37 |
| Kilos | oh my | 10:38 |
| Kilos | can you write the 12.04 to a dvd | 10:39 |
| Kilos | and try install that . you can come online from the live dvd and we can help you with the install | 10:39 |
| HecticZA | I will try a bit later. Is it okay to use a rewritable dvd? | 10:39 |
| Kilos | some peeps say they not to good but i dunno | 10:40 |
| Kilos | should be unless its been used over and over i spose | 10:40 |
| HecticZA | Okay will see if I can find a normal dvd | 10:40 |
| Kilos | where are you HecticZA | 10:41 |
| Kilos | maybe someone close has a dvd for you | 10:41 |
| HecticZA | I'm in a small town called Kirkwood, about 80km from PE | 10:41 |
| inetpro | Kilos: goeie more | 10:41 |
| inetpro | good afternoon everyone | 10:41 |
| === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za | ||
| HecticZA | Hi there inetpro . | 10:41 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro | 10:42 |
| inetpro | hi HecticZA | 10:42 |
| Kilos | oh my goodness thats far but we might have someone in the area | 10:42 |
| Kilos | i dont know how windows burns isos to dvd | 10:43 |
| Kilos | inetpro, kan jy hom help bietjie? | 10:43 |
| HecticZA | Is there a way I can compare the checksum size? | 10:44 |
| HecticZA | Telkom is a bit iffy atm and I have various download sizes | 10:44 |
| Kilos | lets hear from the guys. my iso downloads have all worked first time | 10:44 |
| Kilos | oh my | 10:45 |
| Kilos | i have the dvds here that i downloaded so can put one in and see what size i get | 10:45 |
| HecticZA | Okay thx. All my other distros worked okay, but these last 2 have been a problem, but I'm pretty sure it is a Telkom issue. | 10:48 |
| Kilos | i get 832.6 meg for 13.04 | 10:48 |
| Kilos | cant rememeber where i put the 12.04.2 iso | 10:50 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 10:50 |
| HecticZA | I also have 1 for 832.6 and others for 550 and 734MB. I did burn the 832.6, but the checksum could still be wrong. | 10:50 |
| Kilos | 734 sounds right | 10:51 |
| HecticZA | I will try the LTS version a bit later | 10:51 |
| HecticZA | All 3 of those were for the 13.04 version | 10:51 |
| Kilos | oh my | 10:52 |
| Kilos | you need to rev telkom a bit | 10:52 |
| kbmonkey | hello | 10:52 |
| Kilos | hi kbmonkey | 10:52 |
| kbmonkey | taking a 15 minute break. yey | 10:53 |
| HecticZA | They are busy with updates and have been struggling the last few weeks. | 10:53 |
| Kilos | eish | 10:53 |
| Kilos | the lts should be 733m or a bit above if i remember right | 10:53 |
| HecticZA | It is especially the Cape Town ICP that is strugeling, but at times the Rosebank one as well, so everybody is complaining atm | 10:54 |
| kbmonkey | HecticZA, you should be able to use the md5sum command to compare a .iso if it downloaded correctly | 10:54 |
| Kilos | did you download with a download manager | 10:54 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 10:54 |
| HecticZA | My LTS is 693 and yes I did | 10:54 |
| * inetpro goes to read the backlogs | 10:54 | |
| Kilos | he is still on windows guys | 10:55 |
| kbmonkey | you get md5sum for windows :) | 10:55 |
| HecticZA | Yes kbmonkey , but where do I find the correct size to compare to? | 10:55 |
| HecticZA | I have Windows and Linux. I'm running on Peppermint 3 atm on this pc | 10:56 |
| inetpro | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 10:56 |
| Kilos | oh then you can do downloads with wget on mint | 10:56 |
| inetpro | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 10:57 |
| inetpro | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 10:58 |
| kbmonkey | HecticZA, see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 10:58 |
| kbmonkey | there are md5sums on that site | 10:58 |
| HecticZA | Thx for all the links. Busy checking them out | 10:58 |
| kbmonkey | just navigate to the version you want :) | 10:58 |
| kbmonkey | so from Peppermint you can run `md5sum -c MD5SUMS` from the same directory where your iso and that MD5SUMS file live | 10:59 |
| kbmonkey | it will warn you of the sums of the files you do not have, by the way | 11:00 |
| Kilos | if he is on peppermint he can wget "link" and wget -c to continue a broken download | 11:00 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos, is getting too clever! | 11:01 |
| Kilos | i love wget | 11:01 |
| Kilos | havent had one bad iso download with it | 11:01 |
| kbmonkey | alright, my break is over. bye :/ | 11:08 |
| Kilos | toods kbmonkey | 11:08 |
| Kilos | be good | 11:08 |
| HecticZA | Okay it seems my LTS version checksum is correct, but the 13.04 is corrupted | 11:08 |
| Kilos | use the lts | 11:08 |
| HecticZA | Thx kbmonkey | 11:08 |
| HecticZA | Okay will try it a bit later Kilos. Thx for the feedback :) | 11:09 |
| Kilos | you welcome HecticZA | 11:09 |
| Kilos | keep in touch | 11:09 |
| Kilos | such a schlep when internet messes around hey | 11:11 |
| HecticZA | I will. I'm in for the long haul. If I'm not here, it is because I'm busy with something | 11:11 |
| mazal | Hectic my ou vriend !! | 11:11 |
| Kilos | cool | 11:11 |
| HecticZA | So true, but Telkom said most of the issues will be fixed after this weekends updates. Unfortunately they said that in February as well | 11:12 |
| HecticZA | Hey MAz :D | 11:12 |
| mazal | Welcome :-) | 11:12 |

| mazal | These guys know their stuff ;-) | 11:17 |
| HecticZA | Ja wat, maar ek verkies om dinge self te laai op die stadium. Dit maak die learning curve net so bietjie beter. Ek sukkel net met die distros op die oomblik agv Telkom | 11:17 |
| HecticZA | Thx en cheers :) | 11:17 |
| HecticZA | Cheers guys. Must go. Kilos, I will try the LTS a bit later and come back to you. | 11:18 |

| charl | please clean up your old kernels | 12:16 |
| tonberryE352 | you can manually uninstall them | 12:16 |
| tonberryE352 | but I agree there should be some script or option | 12:16 |
| tonberryE352 | keep x old kernels | 12:16 |
| charl | this should be the default, only last two versions of the kernel | 12:16 |
| mazal | Bye everyone | 12:17 |
| tonberryE352 | you cannot reasonably expect a new ubuntu user to go and hunt down old kernel versions in a package manager | 12:17 |
| trender | anybody know if those sata to ide converters are any good with new drives ?????????????#!@##$@#$!@#%$%^%^& | 12:18 |
| charl | tonberryE352: exactly | 12:23 |
| charl | tonberryE352: what typically happens is that old versions of the kernel accumulate in /boot and eventually fills up the boot partition | 12:23 |
| charl | tonberryE352: the boot partition, by default, not being very large | 12:23 |
| charl | and let's face it, there are so frequently new kernel updates, this will happen sooner than later for anyone who keeps their system up to date | 12:24 |
| charl | trender: new... ide drives? didn't realise they still sell ide drives | 12:25 |
| tonberryE352 | i suspect new big sata drives will give problems if you convert to IDE | 12:26 |
| trender | asking about sata to ide converters | 12:26 |
| charl | wait which way around | 12:26 |
| charl | sata to the motherboard and ide to the drive? | 12:26 |
| charl | that's how i understood it | 12:26 |
| trender | ide on the mb sata on the drive | 12:26 |
| tonberryE352 | i suspect old ide motherboard with new sata drives | 12:26 |
| charl | ah i see, ok that makes more sense | 12:27 |
| Kilos | methinks he is talking about putting a sata/ide adapter onto an ide socket on the motherboard | 12:27 |
| trender | need to know if those sata converters are any good for new sata drives | 12:27 |
| Kilos | i tried ians one on my old p4 with no sata sockets and it worked well | 12:28 |
| trender | i hate throwing away money | 12:28 |
| tonberryE352 | I am unsure what the drive size limit is on IDE | 12:28 |
| tonberryE352 | but I doubt 2tb or 3tb would work | 12:28 |
| trender | well thats what im trying to do | 12:29 |
| Kilos | i put ians 2tb drive onto my ide pc | 12:29 |
| charl | drive size limit? why would there be a limit on the drive size? | 12:29 |
| * tonberryE352 shrugs | 12:29 | |
| tonberryE352 | systems tend to have limits | 12:29 |
| charl | i thought there were terabyte drives in the ide days | 12:29 |
| charl | but yeah i never used any of them so i have no clue sorry | 12:30 |
| Kilos | biggest ive seen is 500gB | 12:30 |
| Kilos | google will know more | 12:30 |
| tonberryE352 | I do know some ide to usb converts do not like 2tb drives | 12:30 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i think IDE drives topped out at about 750GB | 12:30 |
| trender | i dont want to buy 100x 3Tb drives and end up with 100 lemons that wont convert to IDE | 12:30 |
| tonberryE352 | but that was a funny pata sata usb thingy | 12:30 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and that was right at the end of IDE's life | 12:30 |
| tonberryE352 | buy one and check | 12:31 |
| trender | seems like the only way | 12:31 |
| trender | ah well | 12:32 |
| tonberryE352 | prototyping is expensive | 12:33 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | interesting history lesson on the topic of size limits: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-4.html | 12:33 |
| Kilos | times have changed hey | 12:43 |
| Kilos | i remember on win 95 i thought a 2G drive was massive | 12:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | my first PC had 2GB | 12:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and an enormous 32MB of RAM | 12:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | in a laptop no less | 12:45 |
| Kilos | 'lol ya | 12:45 |
| Kilos | mine was 420 meg i think | 12:45 |
| Kilos | also 23m ram | 12:45 |
| Kilos | 32 | 12:45 |
| Kilos | now 1.5g of ram is too min | 12:46 |
| Squirm | hi | 12:50 |

| Kilos | hi magespawn | 13:27 |
| magespawn | trender i have that the converters work but there is a serious loss of performance | 13:28 |
| magespawn | ^found | 13:29 |
| charl | ciao all | 13:31 |
| trender | thanks performance is no concern to me it just needs to work | 13:35 |

| * inetpro crying | 18:17 | |
| Kilos | why | 18:17 |
| inetpro | need to go for a long trip this weekend and one of my tyres has a small bubble | 18:17 |
| inetpro | brand new tyre that the previous owner put in for me | 18:18 |
| inetpro | tyres* | 18:18 |
| Kilos | eish | 18:18 |
| inetpro | hit a bad pothole | 18:18 |
| Kilos | have a gator put in | 18:18 |
| inetpro | now I'm worried to drive long distance like this | 18:18 |
| Kilos | its a thick patch they stick inside | 18:19 |
| inetpro | hmm... sounds like a cool idea | 18:19 |
| Kilos | all my ideas are cool | 18:19 |
| inetpro | will go to the tyre place tomorrow | 18:20 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:20 |
| inetpro | damn tyres are expensive these days | 18:20 |
| Kilos | you will see the gator is thick and strong | 18:20 |
| Kilos | just need to balance that wheel after | 18:20 |
| Kilos | what isnt | 18:20 |
| inetpro | thing is my wife went there this week and they said they can't fix it | 18:21 |
| Kilos | but you still riding it like that | 18:22 |
| Kilos | then it must be able to take a gator | 18:22 |
| inetpro | well the bubble is not big but it's there, on the side wall | 18:23 |
| Kilos | must work with a gator in | 18:23 |
| Kilos | i did that often | 18:25 |
| inetpro | thanks Kilos, you make me feel lots better | 18:32 |
| inetpro | let's hope they fix it with a gator for me | 18:32 |
| Kilos | good | 18:32 |
| Kilos | tyres cost big buck | 18:32 |
| Kilos | s | 18:32 |
| inetpro | these tyres the guy put on are like the most expensive that you can get | 18:33 |
| inetpro | don't think I will be able to sustain that | 18:33 |
| inetpro | Copper Discoverer | 18:34 |
| inetpro | Cooper* | 18:34 |
| inetpro | 4x4 tyres | 18:34 |
| Kilos | ai! | 18:35 |
| Kilos | start buying one at a time | 18:36 |
| Kilos | tyres actually mature with age and get stronger | 18:36 |
| Kilos | or they used to anyway | 18:36 |
