Kilosek terg man06:48
mazalI am gonna try that gelotine thing06:48
mazalDo I just take a spoon clean like that every day ?06:49
Kilosit works06:49
Kilosi started taking it in water but easier to sprinkle on food and mix it in06:49
Kiloshas no flavour06:49
Kilosevery day ya06:50
mazalI wonder what they will think at the road house if I open my burger and put that on06:50
Kilosin water you have to put it in a bit of cold water then add hot so it can disolve then wait till cool before you can drink it06:50
Kiloslol06:51
mazalI think easiest will be to just take a sppon full and eat it as is06:51
mazalBut vrek sleg probably06:51
Kilosburgers are lekker but not very healthy06:51
Kilosits just dry powder06:51
Kilosand like that on your tongue you will sukkel to swallow it06:52
dlPhreakWhat's this do?06:55

Kilosspine06:59
anton_mayDry gelotine?07:00

Kilosmazal eat more fish as well07:02
mazalI didn't know you get dry gelotine07:02
Kilosyes comes in boxes07:03

anton_mayno probs, i think the problems started from a while back11:11
magespawnanton_may: why are you stopping now? unrepairable?11:12
anton_maywanted to reinstall the desktop, but he doesn't have an ip address in recovery mode. He also said that the updates hasn't been happening for the last two days11:13
anton_mayi suspect there is more problems than jsut xorg not working11:13
magespawncould well be right11:13
magespawnwould the network auto configure in recovery? would it not have to be manually set?11:14
anton_maydhcp does work in recovery, so it should've gotten an ip11:14
anton_maybut I would rather do a fresh installation. Will be quicker than try to resolve any other issues that might pop up with ubuntu desktop reinstallation11:16
LangjanSo is the concensus fresh install guys?  11:16
magespawn+111:16
anton_may+111:16
LangjanOK thks11:17

Kiloshow could that break11:51
Langjanok just a sec11:51
Kilosdont keep and magnets ear pc stuff11:51
Kilosany11:51
Kilosand dont keep sticks near magnets11:56
LangjanIt shows bootable, let me try again11:57
anton_mayWhen it does boot up you can copy your .thunderbird from the current system to your external drive11:59
Langjanok many thks anton_may , have a good day.12:01
anton_mayi would suggest to backup you whole home directory as this is where all the config files for programs, browser settings, etc are stored. So in future when you have to do restore you just restore you home diretory and all the settings are back as is was. Even if you reinstall the programs12:05
Langjanthks anton_may  I do that at least once a month12:09
Kilosyou can do that with rsync daily weekly monthly or when ever suits you12:10
Kilosoh that backup tool on unity actually worked well iirc12:10
anton_maydailey then the amount is only as much as how much were added to the directory12:10
anton_maywait what....kilos gave a compliment to unity oh.my.gawd!12:11
