izdubar+106:58
LuvDH8trzOK - I have a Ubuntu install on HD that is playing up, not letting me log in.06:59
LuvDH8trzI think its because I have run out of disk space.06:59
LuvDH8trzWhat I want to do is boot up off USB06:59
LuvDH8trzAnd delete some files on the HD06:59
popeyyou could boot to recovery mode and delete files07:00
LuvDH8trzBut it won’t let me delete it is only giving me read access to my old drive07:00
popeyhold down shift during boot07:00
LuvDH8trzOh.. IC07:00
popeyand then choose recovery from the grub boot menu07:00

popey"mount -o remount,rw" is the magic to make the disk read/write07:01
LuvDH8trzHolding down shift didn’t seem to do anything…07:04
popeyyou need to hold down shift to get the grub menu immediately after your bios splash stuff07:05
LuvDH8trzUbuntu 14.04 BTW07:05
LuvDH8trzOh, I get the grub menu anyway as it is a Dual boot07:05
LuvDH8trzYay! I’m in!07:11
LuvDH8trzThank you fellow citizens!07:11
LuvDH8trzIt would appear that doesn’t appear to have 0 bytes available. Heh.07:12
LuvDH8trzIt would appear that Ubuntu doesn’t appear to like having 0 bytes available. Heh. (Was what I meant to say).07:13
LuvDH8trzOr type even.07:13

MarkDude I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do.09:15
MarkDudeAnd for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down' -Bob Newhart09:15
MarkDude:D09:15
JamesTaitHeheh. :)09:15
* MarkDude likes some country - and that joke :)09:16

shaunoyou don't have 3 different backups of your cat photos?15:22
davmor2shauno: please if it's cats there are at least 10 back ups or you are not doing right :P15:23
shaunosurely at that point it's cheaper to just keep spare cats offsite15:23
foobarrymy laptop has the corner chipped ever so slightly.15:43
foobarryif my wrist touches that point, while laptop is charging i get zapped a bit15:44
foobarryif i touche with my finger i don't15:45
foobarrywhats that all about15:45
foobarryveins?15:45
davmor2foobarry: proving you are weird?15:46
shaunoit's probably not a zap, it's just the tingle you get from a feedback loop.  like you can feel the hum but without the shock?15:49
shaunoin which case soft/sensitive skin will notice it a whole lot more than, eg, fingers15:49
shaunothe other variation I find is that if you touch it, nada - but if you brush a finger as lightly as you can, you notice it15:50
foobarryit feels like it has shards of metal15:51
foobarrybut its df. only when charigng15:51
foobarrymy phone has a little vibration feeling but this one is painful a bit15:52
