magespawnKilos i have found this http://superuser.com/questions/77789/external-hard-drive-bad-sectors-recover-mark-utility-in-linux09:06
Kilosty magespawn 09:07
Kilosthe commands i have you actually have to make a file where it remembers them09:08
Kilosdoesnt actually mark them on the drive09:08
Kilosbut im actually scared to fiddle in the ms partition in case it crashes my unity. at the moment its booting cleanly. i havent tried to go to the xp install since grub update09:19
Kilosbut i reckon ubuntu is safe here because it isnt using anything in the first 10g of the drive apart from boot sector i think09:20
magespawnat least it is working 09:23
Kilosyeah, now disk utility shows it has a few bad sectors09:23
Kilosas long as sucks stays on them thats fine09:24

Kilosyeah i forgot the uncomment thing14:22
KilosQA, ty love14:22
QAKilos: What?14:22
Cantidei had an idea for an app by the way14:23
Cantidebut i'll need to figure out how to use GPS data... and it will be impossible for me to test because i lack an Ubuntu Touch capable device T-T14:23
Cantideresearching now >.<14:25
magespawnhi Cantide14:25
Cantidehello :)14:25
magespawndoesn't ubuntu touch run on top of android?14:25
Cantidenot exactly14:26
Cantideyes, but now they're releasing "flipped" images14:26
Cantidehttp://news.softpedia.com/news/Canonical-quot-Flips-quot-the-Table-on-Android-365512.shtml14:26
Cantidethey're slowly but surely removing their dependence on Android it seems, which is great :)14:27
magespawnit looks like the flipped images are only for certain devices14:33
Cantideyeah14:33
Cantidethe 4 reference devices14:33
inetproCantide: oh wow!14:33
CantideNexus 4, Galaxy Nexus and i forgot the other tow14:33
Cantidetwo *14:33
* inetpro loves the idea of the flipped image14:33
Cantideat least they are making good progress with Ubuntu Touch :)14:33
CantideCan't wait for the first official release14:34
inetpronou praat ons!14:34
magespawnhere is some more info https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-July/037443.html14:34
inetprowatch this space... come next year we will see the Ubuntu phone for real regardless of whether the target of $32m was reached or not14:35
* Cantide clicks14:36
Cantidewell, they may not make their own phone, but i am sure manufacturers are keen to release devices running Ubuntu Touch14:36
CantideCan't wait for May!!! (or around there)14:36
Cantidethis is also interesting if you want to see the state it is in on the reference hardware: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArLs7UPtu-hJdDZDNWliMmV1YUJ3Zk1pQlpDdGp4VFE#gid=014:38
Cantidedoes anyone here have a device capable of running Ubuntu Touch?14:39
magespawnwhat is an enterprise architect?14:40
Cantidehmm14:40
Cantidenot sure... sounds like it could be many things14:41
magespawnjust looking at this http://businesstech.co.za/news/it-services/44018/best-paid-it-professionals-in-sa/ and this http://www.itweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6644114:44
magespawnsame thing14:47
magespawnlater all home and shopping time14:47

magespawnevening16:52
Kiloshi magespawn 16:52
magespawnEverything still working?16:53
Kiloslol yeah i hope so16:53
magespawnCool beans16:53
inetpromagespawn: define everything16:54
Cantideevening~16:56
Cantideit turns out that GPS support hasn't landed in the Ubuntu SDK yet T-T so much for that plan..16:56
magespawninetpro not the internet or ftp17:12
magespawnSpecfically Kilos's setup17:15
Kiloslol17:15
magespawnCantide thats too bad17:15
Cantideyeah..17:15
Cantidethey said it should land in the next week or two17:15
Cantidei wanted to make a phone-tracking app17:15
Cantidethat would be handy17:15
magespawnLike smscontrol for the n90017:16
Cantidecan't say i know that >.<17:18
magespawnhttp://wiki.maemo.org/SMSCON17:18
magespawnAwesome piece of software17:18
Cantidethat seems a bit different to what i had in mind17:19
Cantidei wanted to make an app that you could install on multiple devices and then link them - then you could query a device for its location17:20
Cantidea bit tricky for me, but handy for stalkers and / or / parents / friends17:20
Cantidebut alas, with no GPS, and no means for me to test it myself, that is now out the window :)17:21
=== Cantide is now known as CantiAFK
Kilosnight all. sleep tight and warm17:49
magespawnCantide it would also be handy for finding a misplaced phone or tablet, espcially if you can't phone it like the tablet18:09
Cantideyeah18:09
Cantideit's a fun / nice app to make, and useful18:09
Cantidesome parts will be challenging for me - i.e. querying a remote device and that device sending GPS info18:10
Cantideit's simple to query your own device :)18:10
Cantidebut, as i said, apparently GPS isn't working yet in Ubuntu Touch T-T18:10
magespawnreally? how?18:10
Cantideusing QtLocator -> http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtmobility-1.1/qml-location-plugin.html18:11
Cantideoh, "Location"18:11
Cantidesame  thing :p18:11
magespawnmaybe wait for it18:11
Cantidebut that hasn't filtered through to the Ubuntu SDK as yet.. so.. -.-18:11
Cantideyeah, 2 weeks... eh and then i may not be able to implement it as i'd like18:11
Cantidei decided on something SIMPLE :)18:12
Cantidethat needs no hardware :)18:12
Cantidealso, one can submit as many applications as one likes to the competition18:12
Cantidethere is no limit18:12
magespawncare to share the details, or you keeping it under wraps for now?18:12
Cantideso i could make something simple now, submit it within 2 weeks, and then maybe make an attempt at the other one with the remaining time18:13
Cantidejust a nice Unit Converter, because it seems the standard calculator doesn't have one18:13
Cantide(i'm going to download the calculator app now and test it to be sure)18:13
magespawni use those all the time18:14
Cantideyeah, very handy18:14
Cantideand very easy to make18:14
Cantideand useful on the phone, tablet and desktop18:14
Cantideand relies on no specific hardware such as GPS18:14
Cantideso i think it's a nice app to make18:14
Cantidei can do it in a day or two i think18:15
magespawncool beans18:19
ThatGraemeGuy'lo peeps18:29
superflyhi ThatGraemeGuy18:34
ThatGraemeGuyhey :-)18:35
Cantide"Just to let you know, someone else has already been working on a unit converter (though not for the Showdown). Here is an article about it: http://iloveubuntu.net/handy-utility-unit-converter-reached-01-version-usable-temperature-length-mass-and-time-categories."19:18
Cantideffuuuuuuuuuuuu :D19:18
