[02:46] gnite all === JanC_ is now known as JanC [05:25] good morning to all [06:01] cfhowlett: nihao :p [06:01] hey hey. [06:01] smart4ss haleluja :p [06:01] been coming here very day with silly questions [06:02] nah. silliest question award goes to the guy who asked "Hey! What hacker software is Mr. Robot using on his ubunut?" [06:02] 2nd bombing in china cfhowlett ? i hope you dont live near? [06:02] haha [06:03] lotuspsychje, tianjin is about 60 miles away so ... "safe". [06:03] mr robot :p [06:03] ouch, still not very far [06:04] howdy lordievader :p [06:04] Good morning. === quaddex- is now known as quaddex [22:26] !mint [22:26] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [22:27] lol [22:28] some ding-a-ling asking about mint in #blender ROFL [22:29] :S [22:29] mint is a blender .. [22:29] in* [22:29] yea, made no sense to me either LOL [22:30] does it fit on a cd? [22:30] nope [22:30] ;P [22:31] blender, yes. mint, no way LOL [22:49] Hey guys, I just worked a Nvidia driver re-install .. and the Nvidia 355 version is now available in the 14.04 repo . [22:49] :O [22:52] not here .. [22:52] (15.04) [22:57] Bashing-om, Udita looks like a msdos with gpt sigs in the mbr, at a quick glance, was making some toast, [23:06] wileee: I gt side tracked .. will return . [23:06] Guys " sudo ubuntu-drivers list >> nvidia-355 : woohooo ! [23:07] no prob, of course, big HD I just wonder what is there [23:12] wileee: Like you - mixed partitioning schemes; sda as msdos and sdb as GPT - not at all sure how to handle such a situation . If we boot from sda how does grub handle chainloading the OS on the sdb drive in GPT ? I just do not know . [23:13] Bashing-om, Rods has a fix that wipes the gpt, but it is always a risk, http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/wipegpt.html [23:13] never seen it fail on the channel, but I watch my back, lol [23:14] can't tell either if the sdb is a flash [23:14] wileee: Next question in respect to udita, is why does not 'parted' show us the partitioning on the sdb drive ? Humm .. [23:15] if the hd and flash are reversed as well not knowing what all is on either [23:15] sda is huge however [23:16] wileee: Is not the GPT limit at 4 terabytes ? Then that large GPT is required for addressing ? [23:17] gpt limit is something like 128 exabytes [23:18] I thought it was somewhere above 2tb or so was gpt in general, I have two external 2tb hd's both msdos [23:19] 2TB limit for MBR [23:19] above 2TB you need GPT [23:19] Bashing-om, Your point on a uefi/bios is important I believe, I've just not had a uefi to mess with. [23:20] I would normally have the user run the bootinfo script, it helps me anyway. [23:22] anyway coffee time for me, not a big issue other than the data there, that's as close to ocd I go regularly in worrying about. [23:22] wileee: I be in the same boat. I surely hate making an error, and not having direct experience, well I am slow to make a suggestion in respect to GPT/UEFI . Given time, we can muddle through it .// Looks like udita may have got impatient and left ? [23:23] yeah left, lucky us, maybe doing a backup if there lucky [23:23] their* [23:23] they're ;P [23:25] Bashing-om, as far as I know I have never bricked any computer besides my own, I worry about that always, I'm with you on that. [23:26] I'm only protecting my own booty though, always self serving here, ;) [23:26] wileee: Yeah ! .. I got where I am today by breaking my system(s) many many times. I did learn to dual boot and not mess up my work station too much . [23:48] wileee: udita: Does not UEFI system require GPT partition scheme ?
