Kiloscremora minora05:40
Kilosmorning not_found 06:26
not_foundGood morning uncle Kilos, how are you today?06:28
Kilosgood ty not_found and you?06:28
Kiloshows the studying going?06:28
not_foundNo complaints thanks :) - I was going to ask the same question about the studying :D ... and it hasn't gone yet on my side :/06:29
Kiloslol06:29
Kilosits all driving me crazy06:29
not_foundwhy, programs not wanting to work?06:33
Kilosno man trying to remember all the stuff and what they do06:34
Kilosso many words that are meaningless still06:34
Kilosjust in bash for beginners06:34
not_foundthat is the thing, once you learn it you have to apply it over and over day after day or it will just fade away again (and that is where you need that precious thing called time)06:36
Kilosai!06:38
Kiloshardware is much easier06:38
Kilosbut also frustrating06:39
not_foundhardware is more static :p06:39
Kiloslatest thing this week is when booting this pc bios gets to where it sees drives then it hangs there and 5 mins later auto reboots and runs through everything lekker fast and boots06:40
Kiloslike needs a warm up period06:40
Kilosalso hardware you can sort for good with a 4lb hammer06:40
Kilosim back on the 500g drive that kept crashing and its running fine with evolution purged06:41
not_foundWell I hope the hardware holds up on your side uncle Kilos, nothing more frustrating than faulty hardware (especially when it is intermittent)06:43
Kilosty. but strange that on 12.04 unity and kde on 2 different drives pc kept crashing06:45
Kilosmust be a security hole in evo somewhere06:45
not_foundor just a bug06:46
Kilosyeah but a bug that can crash the mbr so bios doesnt see the drive even06:47
not_foundcan even be a bug in the BIOS06:48
Kilosi found a nice tool for that in xp on gigabytes mobo's06:49
Kiloscalled @bios06:49
not_foundwho knows what combination of events must come together to cause issues...06:50
Kilosonline flash and upgrade06:50
not_foundmost newer hardware has something similar...06:50
Kilosbut i dunno if this board has a jumper to block it06:50
not_foundI am not a fan of flashing hardware how ever... easiest way to brick something :)06:51
Kilosno man the flashrom guys help you sort it06:51
Kilosbut you need to understand what they say06:51
Kiloslooks like all they do is flashrom scripts for all pcs06:53
Kilosand if you can get a floppy working you can boot with bios upgrade floppies06:55
Kilosmaybe one could do it with a usb stick as well07:04
not_foundI would imagine it is dependent to what extent the BIOS is crippled... I have heard many stories of motherboards having to be replaced or at the very least the BIOS chips on them07:17
Kilosyes thats the norm but them okes fix bricked mobos07:18
Kilosi get their mails on whats wrong and what to fix07:18
Kilosbut dont understand them anyway07:18
Kilosthey even have a channel on irc07:19
Kilosand flashrom is in ubuntu repos07:19
Kilosonly im scared to even try it because you gotta be a pro to understand them07:20
Kilosbut im sure there are tons of bricked mobos that can be fixed07:20
not_foundpossible07:21
Kiloslinux geeks are clever07:23
not_foundI am pretty sure it is geeks in general ;)07:30
Kilosi dunno i think lotsa win geeks throw good hardware away07:31
not_foundoh and the average Ubuntu user doesn't?07:38
Kilosi was surprized when the 8ta networking guy came here to check what was wrong with my connection and the tower, he was quite familier with unity and even my opera browser07:38
not_foundcool07:38
Kiloswhen i started with 8.10 every one said whats linux and whats ubuntu07:39
* not_found is going to sign off for a bit... give some other peeps time to procrastinate on the PC... hope everyone has a nice Sunday...07:39
Kilosand thats only 4 years ago methinks07:40
Kiloshaha07:40
